Fallen Catalyst and Fiera
"How long have you been out here?" Kobra asked Zia."My whole life." She said, turning away from the computer
Jet nodded. "We'll have to."
Party Poison helped explain to Ari where to plug the data stick in. After it was plugged in, he waited for the files to pop up. Ghoul nodded.
Zia stepped up next to Ari, peering over her shoulder at the screen.
Party Poison tried to click on one of the files that came up but a different box came up instead. It read: 'Please enter your password.' He looked at Ari, "Ideas as to what it is?" He asked.Ari shrugged. "I don't know.."
"I think I might know." Ari mumbled. Party Poison moved out of the way so she could type it.
The others waited, more than a little tense.
Ari tried typing in a few different things. Sighing when they didn't work. She tried one last password, her real name. The box went away and all the files appeared. "There." She mumbled.
"Well, I'm glad we figured it out." Zia mumbled.
Party Poison thought she would tell the password to them but she didn't. He sighed, looking over the files. "Guys. Come see this."
Kobra stepped up next to him. "What is it?" He asked, trying to ignore Jet and Zia looking over his shoulders.
Ari moved so she could still see but was out of the way. "Look. There's all sorts of stuff." Poison said, pointing out folders. "Headquarters, Maps, Security, Officials. All kinds of stuff that could be useful." He tilted his head slightly, seeing a folder labeled with numbers instead of letters.
"Woah..." Zia said. She looked over at Ari with wide eyes."That'll be a big help..." Kobra said.
Ari bit her lip. She saw the folder with numbers on it and looked at it closely. She grabbed her notebook from her bag and wrote the numbers on a blank page."Yeah." Poison nodded in agreement, smiling.
Zia nudged Ari. "What are you doing?" She whispered.
"Those numbers. My parents.. They taught me a code with it.." She mumbled in a whisper. She looked at the numbers, trying to figure it out.
Zia nodded. "Oh.""This is great." Kobra said.
Ari fell silent for a minute, trying to remember the code. After a moment, she realized what the code said. She quickly wrote it out, double checking.Ghoul nodded. "Yes. This is." He grabbed the mouse from Poison and clicked on some of the folders, seeing what information was inside.
Kobra leaned over behind him, pointing random things out."What does it say?" Zia asked.
Ghoul kept looking through the folders. They ignored the one with the numbers.Ari sighed. "My real name. They must've wanted me to keep ahold of that flashdrive. My name was the password too." She mumbled.
"Oh." Zia shrugged. "I guess you don't want to tell me what it is, then."
"Do you want to know what it is?" She asked in a whisper.
"I won't object if you want to tell me, but you don't have to." Zia said.
Ari shrugged. She showed Zia the paper. The code was written on one line. Below it, it read, 'Kearian', her real name.
"It's really pretty." Zia said. She hugged her, on impulse.
Ari shrugged. She let Zia hug her, tensing some out of surprise.
Zia noticed the tensing and stepped back. "Sorry," she said.
"It's alright. Just not used to it.." Ari mumbled.
Ari smiled faintly at her. She glanced back over the guys' shoulders, seeing what they were checking out now.
Zia couldn't tell what they were looking at, but whatever it was seemed very interesting to them.
Ari bit her lip lightly. In a bit, she'd ask to look at the files, mainly just to see the one with her name on it.
Zia had a feeling it would take them a while. "Hey," she said, turning to Ari, "didn't you wants to take a look at my arm again?"
"Yeah, just want to make sure it won't get infected." Ari said, remembering.
Zia nodded, and tapped the shoulder of the nearest Killjoy — Ghoul. "Hey, do you have anywhere we can have a look at my arm?"
Ghoul turned. "Yeah. Come on." He nodded. He led them out of the office and upstairs to an extra bedroom they had.
Zia followed him, making sure Ari was with her.
Ari followed Zia, biting her lip lightly.
When Ghoul showed them the room, Zia smiled and thanked him, then turned to Ari.
Ari set her bag on the bed, opening it to get the antiseptic and more bandages.
Zia sat down, watching as Ari looked through her bag. "Do you want to know my real name?" She asked suddenly.
Ari shrugged. "If you're willing to tell it, sure." She answered softly.
"I am." She looked at her hands. "It's Zia."
"That's a pretty name." Ari replied softly.
"Thanks..." Zia pushed her hair out of her face.
Ari smiled faintly. She sat beside Zia, unwrapping her arm.
Zia looked away as Ari unwrapped it. She wasn't squeamish, not like Night, but she didn't want to see the stitches in her arm.
Ari wiped away the little bit of blood that was on Zia's arm. "This probably is gonna hurt.." She warned, getting the antiseptic.
"I guess." Ghoul sighed. "Just keep an eye on her.."
