Nyma eventually would get herself to a local marina man. She waited there for the pain to subside while the man there clearly held concern for her. He noticed she was having a hard time.
“Missy, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, just need to catch my breath. I think I stayed out a little too long.”

"My name is Raven sir, it is nice to meet you Lance." She said with a quick bow. She noticed the strange feeling of his hand, and couldn't help but stare. Finally she looked away blushing. She looked at her arm. "It's not in the best of shape, but I should be fine." She said softly, hiding her arm behind her back, and tried to hide it from view.

"Oh, son of a..." Amos had taken to the sky to test his new set of mechanical wings. It was going well, up until he heard an odd scraping sound coming from one of the many gears. He passed it off as a minor annoyance, but he was beginning to rethink that decision. The former soldier was now losing altitude, as his right wing stopped working. A crash landing was inevitable. "Watch yourselves!" he shouted as a pair of figures came into view. A moment later, Amos hit the ground, left wing first, tumbling several times before he came to a halt.
"Remind me," he said in a dazed tone, "never to buy anything from that merchant."

Raven screamed jumping behind Lance. She blushed profusely for the act. For a man who had so far been gracious to her he could have just been hurt because of her. She peeked around from behind the man all the same. "Are you alright?" She squeaked alarmed. "How is your wing sir?" She asked walking up to the man, and this time offering him her better hand to help him up. "What happened?"

"I'm just peachy," Amos replied, taking the stranger's hand. "The wing, not so much." He rose to his feet and dusted himself off. "To answer your question, one of the main gears shattered. It must have been made of cheap material. Subpar product, high price point... I don't think I'll be doing any more business with that guy."
Amos bowed to the girl's companion. "Sorry for the interruption."

"I thought they were real winds." She said softly, and I am sure even hitting the ground hurt, are you sure you will be alright?" Her eyed gleamed with worry.

Lance knelt down to check on the man.
"Your wings are in theory very sound but you are right. The material does not seem very sound." Lance said looking the man over. "Luckily the protective gear you wore is much more durable then these gears. Truly being able to create marvelous wings like these you should take more pride in your materials sir."
Lance turned his attention to Raven.
"Was there any place you wanted to go Raven? I don't trust these streets late at night. There have been a number of...incidents recently in these streets." Lance said slightly sadly.

Raven looked away from Lance blushing. "I do not know this town well, and I really have no place to be going." She said looking up at him. Her eyes were closed, and her smile was something sad. "Like the one last night where you walked away from a fight?" She asked without thinking.

Nyma began to walk again till she came upon Raven, Amos, and Lance. Her eyes were sullen a bit because she needed to get to the hospital to find out what was wrong with her heart. “Please, can any one of you direct me to the hospital?” Her words came softly as she looked at Lance, Amos, and Raven. Her hand still over her heart a clear indicator of where she was hurting.

"This gear has saved my life on countless occasions," Amos said, removing his sunglasses to reveal his mismatched eye colour. "And I would certainly take pride in my work, had I made these things." He checked over his broken wing and sighed. "The man who made them, however, won't get far in the business if his products break on their maiden voyage."
As the newest arrival asked about the hospital, Amos turned to the others to say, "You guys wanted to relocate anyway, right? Looks like there's a hospital trip in our immediate future." He turned back to the new person. "We'll take you there."

Raven nodded, her eyes seemed to fall upon his eyes. They were so different. She had never seen that with a human before, only with alley cats. "You made the wings?" She asked looking at the craftsmanship in awe. She tilted her head curiously to the side, "Someone else made them?"
Raven nodded in agreement. "That would be a good direction to go in." She looked at the girl who came to them, "May I help you with anything?" she asked.

"He said he didn't make them little Raven but that is okay." Lance said as he thought about last night. A street punk thought he would rob him but Lance could never stand down to a punk.
*Blam! Blam! * Two bullets flew from the gun. One missed him completely but the second one lodged itself into his arm. The fact that Lance did not call out in pain nor get slowed down by the bullets freaked the young man to the point he ran away.
"Alright then let us all go to the hospital then. The night is still young and we can't very well another casualty to these mean streets." Lance said as he turned to the woman. "By the way miss my name is Lance. Shall we get going?"

“Nyma…” She would say her name weakly as she walked weakly. Her body hurt from the chest down. She wondered almost if it had to do something with her heart. She didn’t put it past it as she looked at the trio. “Let’s go…please show the way.”

Amos began the trek to the hospital, staying by Nyma's side in case she needed assistance. A few minutes later, the quartet reached their destination. The former soldier opened the door for the others and remembered his manners. "Oh, how rude of me," he said. "I haven't introduced myself. The name's Amos. Amos Andrews."

"Yes of course. Let us go." Lance said as he put his hand on Raven's shoulder. "I would appreciate it if you came to my Raven. I don't like the thought of leaving you alone on the streets. If the police are coming that means there is trouble in the area."
