A few days after been brought to Merry's apartment, Neeva slowly gained back some of her mobility though progress is slower than she had hoped. Merry made sure she was doing alright before going to work, then when her shift was over she would help Neeva learn back the basics.



Since she is able to move well enough, she decided to practice standing up which ended in 2 hours of failure. Her ears flinched hearing the door open, which is unusual since Merry still was at work during this time, then when the presence let itself known her face was filled with panic.



It was the masked mercenary that knocked her out cold last time, she tried to stand up only to fall back onto the couch. The mercenary placed its helmet and hat on the coat stand before making themselves a warm drink, almost as if they were performing a routine and Neeva presence was not acknowledged. The time being alone allowed her more opportunity to stand up but the result remained the same.



The Mercenary walked back in the room and sat to the couch adjacent to Neeva, placing her drink on a Coaster. With a audible sigh the feminine voice of the mercenary asked '' Neeva right? Name is Mezz, im a friend of Merry. Truth be told i still despise you for what you did, sure he was a prick but he deserved better than being executed like that''.




Neeva feeling anger from this responded '' He threatened to hurt Merry, the fucker deserved it! I don't give a fuck if he's your friend, im not letting some random drunk lay their god damn fingers on her GOT IT!?''. Mezz took a sip from her tea before responding in a calming manner '' Oh you foolish.... Well i apologize for what he did but... im afraid i would have done the same then. Do you really care that much about Merry?''.




Neeva nodded firmly '' Damn right i do! She's the only thing in this shithole that gives me hope, that makes me want to keep living another fucking day''. In a annoyed tone Mezz replied '' Then do not swear while you are here, don't pollute her home with the vile behavior of the outside world''. Neeva anger quickly toned down as she simply responded '' Sorry''.




Mezz looking at her cup , swirling it a few time told Neeva '' Especially since you are now living here... That thing which resided in your head, she burned that whole appartment down. Guess she really loves looking up for you huh? Surprising , she seemed like a complete nutcase yet is able to think rationally... well as rational as she can be''. Neeva weakly slammed her fist against her walker yelling '' THAT BI.......right no swearing, that moron!! My stuff was still in my room!! ''.




Finishing her drink, Mezz stood up asking one last thing of Neeva '' Look i wish i could stay longer but i got some jobs pending... I wanted to ask a favor from you, can you keep tagging alone that thing, Yan. I heard she was inside a Zerova tech memory chip, nothing good comes from that woman and yet she doesn't seem like a weapon. I want to know her origin, if she's too dangerous i will take care of her''.


Neeva protested '' You want me to get near that psycho!? Are out of your fucki.... out of your mind!? '' . Mezz teasingly rubbed Neeva head amused as she answered '' She's such a crazy lady that she saved your life. Her friends wanted to wipe you out but she made sure you kept your mind intact. If you don,t want to do it as my request then do it as you owe her your life. We will keep in touch and huh... good luck getting your mobility back''.





This flood of information made Neeva groaned loudly, all of the fiber of her body tells her to not get involved but Mezz is right... She is now in her debt.... Well hopefully she won,t be as dangerous as she was inside her head.
