*She laughs. When she responds to his question, her voice comes as seductively as silken sheets.* "Well, considering how quickly you wiped out one of my guards and how much durasteel costs, I can't risk you damaging my ship, Mathias. Besides, I have an offer you can't refuse. As for those being in control? I am always in charge."

"If this offer includes money and a ship I'll take it." :I retort, hell what did I care about the details. People like her didn't hire men like me because she needs a spider squashed. Something needed moved through dangerous territory or someone needed dead. Either way it gave me two more things on my survival List.:

*The ship comes to a halt inside the flagship as she stands up and puts the gun away heading for the ramp.* "Details details. Come. Let me show you around and let you see just what kind of business deal I am talking about."
*She steps out of the ship and looks around at her men surrounding it. Their security as tight as possible watching this man. No one trusted him...except for this woman....she turned her back to him...a bold move or a foolish one.*

:Inwardly I sigh, 'Just once can't it be simple?" I mutter under my breath. She didn't say I couldn't bring a weapon so I heft the crossbow from the duffle and follow her out. The first one of these blaster-happy schmeg-heads that tried to take it , well I didn't have to finish that thought.: "Operations don't matter much to me. Just tell me what you want done and when."

*She leads him into a room with a metal table and straps to hold someone down. As soon as he enters, guards swarm him trying to grab him and strap him onto the table. The Phoenix stands in the corner watching the progression.*
"The more you resist, the harder it will hurt. Relax, Mathias."

:Well this was unexpected. Her words made perfect sense but did that make me fight less? Not one little bit. I lashed out hard and with as much lethal force as I could muster. Somewhere in side I just knew what to do and how to move to make this harder for them. It made no sense but I got faster, and stronger, their shots hurt but they were trying to take me alive. Me? Well I wasn't being so generous. I was trapped like a rat before and I just couldn't go back to that confinement easily. I just couldn't.:

*She sees her men being knocked around left and right and sighs.*
"I warned you Mathias." *Her hand reaches out he feels an invisible hand begin to grasp him around the neck squeezing his trachea. He can hear her voice in his head as well.*
[glow=blue,2,300]Relax. Just checking you for any infections. You are making this much much harder. Keep resisting and I promise you there will be more pain.[/glow]

:Choking, I remember this from somewhere. I feel her words in my head I almost yell at himself to listen to her. I was like a damn passenger in my own body. Sometime during the fight my goggles got knocked off, even though the room was dim the light still hurt my eyes. Damnit all I wanted was to be free, was that too fragging much to ask? I could feel the anger boiling up in me even as tunnelvision started to form. One of the men staggered too close to me and that was all I needed. Grabbing him by the arm I hurled him bodily at her with all the remaining strength I could muster. I had to break her conscentration.:

*The man slams into her knocking her down. She pushes him off of her and hurriedly gets to her feet.*
"Take him down by whatever force necessary but DO NOT kill him."

:I can breathe again. It's too late now to stop even I can see it. They'll have to take me down now damnit. No couldn't be easy, even without memories it's always the hard way. I lash out with a cartwheel kick and hit the floor running, out the door and slam a fist into the panell beside it to bring it shut. Run, that was the only thing in my mind.:

*She pushes her men out of the way as she hits the panel and takes off down the hallway with Master speed to catch up to him. While running she takes out the hilt of her blade bending down to try to trip him and gain some advantage. She could be more rough with him, but she wanted to test him. Plus, she so missed the chase from years ago. It felt good once again.*

:How she caught up to me so quick I haven't a clue but she trips me up pretty good. As I fall I turn it into a tuck and roll coming back to my feet facing her. It's a battle crouch part of my mind tells me, fat lot good knowing that does me. How about some actual details for a change.: "Hire me or let me walk. I'm not going to sit still for you or anyone proding and poking me."

*She laughs at his question and grabs a blade from a nearby guard and throws it at him while she unsheathes her own.*
"Hire you or let you go? No, my dear, Mathias, it doesn't work that way. You join me or die. You know too much to let go and I don't accept those who are untrained nor haven't proven themselves. You may have bested some of my men but can you stand up against me?"

:I catch the blade all the same but shake my head: "I'm not into that join or die thing and I don't know squat. Yer some hot babe in leather with a bunch of goons. I'm sure there's hundreds of people wanting that information." :I spin the sword over the back of my hand taking it by the grip. It's been a long time since I held one as balanced as this one. I take a step back from her.: "Just give me a ship and we'll call it square." :Yeah I just bet she'll go for that. Damnit never easy.:

*She laughs at him.* "Square? You owe me for saving your life." *She brings up her blade and charges at him lunging for his left side quickly with fast reflexes knowing he could block it easily. She wanted to make him feel confident before she really showed her stuff.*
