Extend the Story - Add a Room

"I think I'm going to head out, actually," you tell them. "See you at practise tomorrow!" With that, you say your goodbyes and head back out into the rain.

Outside, you head toward home. You've traveled less than a block before you see a large explosion close to the Preventers base set up just on the outskirts of town. It's followed by another blast, a little closer to you, though far enough that the debris won't reach you.

You are too stunned to move as you realize that the cause of the explosions are mobile suits, which you haven't seen since they were banned three years ago. Another explosion, from behind you, sends debris out in every direction, more importantly, in yours.

"Get out of the way!" you hear from off to the side. The voice is a little harsh, and as you turn to see who its owner is, you're tackled into an alley, effectively protecting you from anything flying toward you.

Abruptly, your savior stood. As you took in his features, he glared down at you. His black hair is tied back tightly. He is definitely Chinese, unlike yourself. He has a lean build, though you can't tell much more about him due to the rain and the clouds blocking out all light except the dying flames caused by the mobile suits.

"Are you stupid, woman?" he scolds angrily. "You could have been killed, standing there!"

You stand up abruptly, glaring at him. You can't think of anything to say to his words, though. He was right. You could have been killed, if not for him.

He didn't wait for an answer, anyway. "Come with me," he demanded, grabbing onto your wrist and starting to pull you to the other end of the alley, toward another street.

"Where?" you question, startled by his sudden actions.

"Away from here. You're too weak to protect yourself," he simply states, as though it were a true fact.

You fume silently at his insulting comment. You didn't earn your black sash by being weak.

You...

let him lead you away. Now's not the time to argue, anyway.
