 Lauren nodded as she walked over to the kitchen, trying to give him some privacy now. She looked around the white kitchen except for the light green floor. She smiled as she looked into the fridge, pulling out eggs and cheese, putting them on the stove. She knelt down, pulled open some drawers, trying to find the pots and pans. When she finally found it, she brought it to the stove, turned the stove on to the number 6 and waited for things to heat up. She cracked three eggs open over the pan, and then spread cheese over it. She waited a moment before flipping half of the egg into itself, making an omelet. She waited for it to cook all the way through before taking it off the heat. She looked for the plates, which she finally did and placed the omelet onto it. She cooked one more omelet the same way, doing the same thing before looking for the utensils which she eventually found after awhile. She placed them on the kitchen table (if there is one, if not a counter >3> ) and ate her fill.  Sam spoke loudly, "Don't be sorry." She looked for her hiking boots in her closets, "When life gives you lemons, make orange juice; sit back and figure out how the hell you did it." She tried to make the situation funny so he'd lighten up a little.

As Mr. Peepers finally calmed down (Believe me, that's hard...),
he walked into the kitchen, pulled a soda from the fridge, and drank the frosty liquid while he noticed her cooking.
" Remind me to never order a chef. "
He gave a chuckle and then left to pack the car full of equipment needed for the trip.

Lauren laughed, "I'm not as good as a chef, but you won't go hungry when I'm around." She ate her omelet before bringing the other plate over to him. "Are you going to eat this?" She tilted her head to the side, "I mean.. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.."

Shinzo wasn't too hungry but he didn't want to upset Lauren.
He ate the omlet in less than five bites, they needed to hurry.
Surprisingly, it was delicious.
" It's...so good... "
He had a tear in his eye with a proud look on his face.
" Hrm... I set up the car. When your ready, I prepared formal dressing for you in your room. "
A stylish traveling dress awaited her on the bed. He would have gotten something more modernish but he would feel awful shopping for women's underwear...

Lauren grabbed his plate and ran into the kitchen, placing the dishes into the sink. She'd get to them later.
She then ran up to her room, her footsteps nearly silent. She changed quickly into her new dress, feeling content by the looks of it, before slipping into some foot wear he had for her too, and ran back down stairs to the car. The dress was green, white and black with flower-like designs. She slid into the car seat and looked at Shinzo with a huge smile on her face, "ready!"

He started up the car.
" So do you make everything look amazing? "
Pressing the gas, he got the car moving up the road. The car was between a forest, trees rolling by as they went down the road.
" Watch the road incase we run into something. I have a little surprise just if we run into some trouble. "
They continued down the road.
" So...tell me about yourself. "

Lauren rolled her eyes at his comment, "You're a flirt, huh?" She kept her eyes ahead of her, watching the sides, trying to figure out what he was talking about. "Well.. From my papers you should have read that I am an immortal. I've been around since the 1400's. I've been a slave for about three hundred years." She shrugged, "My family wasn't immortal.. Apparently it skipped generations, and I was the unfortunate one.. The last immortal in my family died in war.. That was my great grandmother." She sighed before continuing on, "I've traveled the world a few times.. I wouldn't mind doing it again just to see if things changed. How I got into slavery was just that.. I was in the wrong place at the right time. Vikings came in to Ireland, the place where I was at, at the time, and rampaged through the villages. They took a lot of us into slavery. I didn't fight. Sure, I'm immortal, stronger then most humans, but I didn't want to be like a God. Anyways.. Each master I had was somewhat kind, except for the first few. I stayed with them until they died, and then they passed me onto other family members. Some were abusive, some were friendly. After generations past, one eventually passed me onto the shop where you and I met.. That's pretty much it." She saw a patch of blue flowers, smiling at the sight before returning the question, "What about you?"

" Well, I like to keep myself alive and open so why not flirt? "
He heard the story, listening to each detail.
" I'm sorry about your grandmother. More importantly, it must be hard not being able to relate to anyone. Having a common curse. "
Shinzo realized he had to think about his past.
" I don't have much to tell. I was a gun fanatic and was interested in weaponry. However, my like for weapons also got me interested in helping people. After meeting a certain organization, I became a missionary, or just someone from the organization that does a selected and available job. However, things got tough and I would get wounded. Really bad... so I thought I would bring someone with me this time. I wish I had you on my last journey.... "
He took his hand off the steering wheel and laid in on Lauren's lap.
" Roll up the sleeve. "

Lauren shrugged, "Eh.. I'm sure I have family else where.. But I've been gone for so long that I have no clue who anyone is anymore.. Plus, what does it matter? Not like the story would go on with each generation."
She listened to his story, "Well, least you're doing something for the common good." She blushed as he laid his arm on her lap. She rolled up his sleeve past his elbow, noticing the metallic metal on his arm. She didn't bother asking, probably some war wound.

" My arm was completely ripped off saving a man from a cliff fall a year back. We were attacked by an IEP and almost captured if it weren't for the cliff. I bought this robotic arm with a plastic cover covering most of it. The warm rubber makes it realistic but I've been scarred by that day. The worst part is, I can remember the touch of another person with this arm... "
He lighted his right arm, the robotic one, to her cheek and brushed away her hair to her ear.
" I could not even feel that... "

Lauren felt his robotic hand, blushing as he was messing with her hair. "I think it's all about the wires.. Really.. Wires are like nerves.. If we can get the right wires, I'm sure you'll be able to feel things again." She suggested, thinking of how they were going to do it. She let go of his hand and looked out of the window, "What were you talking about when you said 'keep watching the road'..? Is there anything specific?"

He clenched and unclenched his robotic hand a few times and put it back on the road.
" Wires can't replace what was lost... "
He noticed what she said.
" Well...I don't think there would be but there is the possibility of a b- "
Just then, the car was hit by a ball of smoke and the car stood completely still.
He took out a pistol he hid in a compartment, putting the safety on.
" Keep down. "

Lauren sighed, "Well.. It's worth a shot, isn't it?"
Lauren's eyes widened when the smoke surrounded the car. She slipped into the backseat and hid behind the passenger's seat. She placed her hands on top of her head and waited.

Shinzo moved into the back seat to use the front seat as cover. He aimed the pistol to the front window, waiting for the smoke to clear. He placed his right hand on Lauren to show everything would be fine.
As the dust cleared, the group was all there in the middle of the road.
He gave an answer to what they were about to face as if it weren't shocking.
" Bandits... "

Lauren twitched when he touched her, but that was because she was nervous. She then muttered, "For a second there.. I thought you said bacon... But bandits? Really?" She sighed as she relaxed and tilted her head up to see in front of the car. She noticed their weapons, and somehow was looking for a weak-point.
