Nora smiled and relaxed next to her friend, feeling slightly drowsy. "Hmm? The contract? Oh it's going fine, I've almost finished the first prototype for the company. Of course, I've already finished my own prototype, it's got even more features than the one I'm giving them. Mostly because I keep the best gadgets for myself." Nora's smile faded when Rissa started to cry next to her. She frowned and put an arm around her, hugging her lightly and shushing her friend. "Shhh. It'll be okay Rissa. I'm sure Han is fine. Don't worry." Nora held her friend close, comforting her. Running her hand up into Rissa's hair, Nora basically petted her gently. After a short time, Nora looked down at Rissa and said, "Maybe you should rest. You've had a lot of excitement over the past few days. Come on, let's get you to bed." Nora stood up, helping Rissa to her feet and made her way to the stairs, supporting her friend by her arm wrapped over her shoulder. "You're a bit heavy Rissa, so you'll have to help me get you up the stairs..."

Rissa was slightly over buzzed as Nora tried to comfort her, so it didn't make her feel any better when Nora tried to help her up and to a bed, she started to mumble apologies and moved her feet in a tempt to help, but she really didn't know where she was going at that point, "D-did you put something in the beer?" she said as she squeezed Nora and felt her face brush up against her hair, "did i ever tell you you smell really good" she hummed again and fell into the bed as Nora brought her to it, not bothering with the dirty clothes she was wearing as she quickly fell into a drunk slumber that would probably result in a large hangover the next morning.

Nora basically had to drag Rissa up the stairs, since her friend wasn't exactly helping. Not that she really could if she wanted to. "No I didn't, it's just your exhaustion finally catching up to you. You need rest." Nora sighed as Rissa squeezed her and brushed her face against Nora's neck and her hair, saying that she smelled good. "Only a few times I think. Come on, time for bed." Nora did her best to lift Rissa onto the bed, but she just wound up falling over onto it anyways. Nora rolled her over onto her back and pulled the covers over her. Sighing lightly and frowning slightly. Nora walked over to the side of the bed that Rissa's head was now on, reaching down and taking a few strands of her hair in her hand. She conjured a pair of scissors from her energy transference device and cut the strands of hair free. Taking them in her hand Nora paused for a moment to look at her friend before she walked to her bookshelf, pulling out one of the books and making the shelf slide a few feet to the left. Behind it was a metal blast door, with a keypad and retina scanner, along with DNA sampler. Nora typed in her code, used the retina scanner, and pressed her finger down on the small needle that would take a sample of her blood. After this process was done, the door opened to a small elevator shaft, which Nora calmly rode down to her lab on. Stopping at the bottom, Nora quickly stepped off into her lab and made her way to her central computer terminal. She told Exadi to run DNA tests on the strands of hair Nora had taken from Rissa, then got to work on her newest project; cybernetics. Nora was working on basically creating cyborgs.

Rissa settled in to sleep as she let Nora tuck her in, starting to doze she barely noted what Nora was doing as she walked to the other side of the bed and cut off a few strands of her hair and made her way to some elevator, that is strange, she just carried me up the stairs now she uses an elevator? she hummed and tuned over as she quickly fell asleep after that, unsure as to weather that was simply something from her dream or a actual reality.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning she woke with a massive head ache, and feeling dirty all over. "where?" she mumbled as she sat up thinking herself in a strange bed until she recognized Nora's bed room, "did i do this again?' she mumbled once more as she rubbed her eyes wincing at the light before tossing the sheets over her head again. a clink off to her right made her grumble slightly as she peeked her head out from under the covers to find one of Nora's inventions setting a tray on the night stand, containing a bottle of Excedrin migraine and a glass of water. "Nora?" she asked watching the instrument receid back out of the room as she contemplated weather to get up and take the migraine medicine or sleep some more. Migraine medicine seemed like the less painful choice at the moment as she felt her head throb, so she popped two pills before crawling back under the covers to wait for the drugs to take affect.

Nora's night had been busy. She had worked on her cybernetics project for a few more hours, and found out that Rissa's and her DNA was a matcch, they were indeed sisters. Upon completion of the cybernetics module, Nora went out as Relativity to find a specimen she could use. She found one; a nearly dead man with bits missing, at the hands of a psychopath. She had done everything she could for his facial features, with Exadi's help he no longer looked terribly disfigured either. She put him on life support and started to install the electronic into him. Nora was no surgeon, so she had programmed Exadi with all the necessary procedures, by way of copying information from various surgeons and doctor's brains that she "acquired." She gave them back of course, and they didn't remember a thing, and Exadi's surgery was so successful, they couldn't even notice they had their heads cut open and their brains placed in jars for a short while. As Exadi started work on the cybernetics, Nora looked at the clock; it was nearly 7 o' clock in the morning.
Nora took a shower in her lab, then used the living room elevator instead of the bedroom one, realizing the mistake she had made when she hadn't checked if Rissa was asleep when she opened the passage. Yawning, Nora headed to her couch, which automatically folded out into a bed. Her robots supplied her with pillows, blankets and bedsheets, as well as a thin nightgown for her to sleep in. She didn't normally sleep with any clothes on, but Rissa was still in the house so she figured she may as well. Sighing, she laid down on the bed, sighing comfortably and rolling onto her side, pressing her head into the extremely comfortable pillows and closed her eyes, her hair splaying out around her head on the pillow. Nora fell asleep quicker than Exadi could count to 100 sheep, which was about .00000000001 of a second.
=======
It was long past noon, almost 2 o'clock when Nora woke up, blinking dreamily and rubbing her eyes lightly to try and wake up. She heard something from upstairs, what sounded like Rissa calling for her. She headed upstairs to take a look. Nora didn't want to disturb her friend so she simply took a quick glance as she headed into her bedroom to get her clothes; simply a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Nora brushed her hair quickly and headed back down to the kitchen and started making breakfast. She took out the waffle iron and griddle she used for waffles and pancakes respectively. She turned them on then started mixing the batter; she could have had her robots do all of this, but she wanted to give her sister a more personal touch.

Rissa had been barely concious when Nora had come back into the room to recive her garments and apparently had swayed back into dream land for a bit before the delight full scent of cooking made her turn over and sat up slowly, noting that the Excedrin had taken affect as she shook her head and hte throbbing did not develop, slowly she slipped out of the bed to find herself in the dirty clothes she had dressed herself up in a few days before. making a face she quickly searched through Nora's dresser to find something she could slip on at least until she could head back to her house for an actual change of clothes. picking out a shirt and a pair of shorts Rissa took a quick shower to help get her head strait as well as save Nora the suffering of smelling her odor from two days before, im going to have to ask to clean her sheets after breakfast she thought as she slipped the shirt on while she stared at the unmade bed.
Tiding up a bit she then moved to walk down the stairs, smelling the alluring aroma of morning pastries. "Nora? is that you cooking breakfast?" she yawned and bounced down the last few steps only to avoid hitting one of Nora's inventions. "you sure do work a lot around here, what time did i end up passing out?" she asked rubbing her eyes as she walked into the kitchen.

The sound of a phone going off echoes through the room, a young person picks up the phone and answers. While in conversation, the young person begins to find a dark pen an begins to write the address and number. "4389, you sure this is the right number?" as the young person proceeded to write down more information. "I understand Mr. Young, you will get your box back." hanging up the phone, the young person began to walk towards her closet as she took out her black wear, slowly placing it on -skips- standing in the room the young person equips herself with some weapon in arms and starts to head out from the window. "Alright lets get this job done before anymore call's." as Serilda leaped out she created a field around her and began to boost her speed, and flexibility. Leaping farther into the air she started to take the shadows disappearing without a trace.

That morning had been uneventful so far for Vincent. It was the usual dodging of his bodyguards in the morning before the first meeting of the day. Vince always hated going to meetings. He figured that if his father had hired those working stiffs and the company was still successful, he wouldn't have to show up very often unless something really really bad happened. As such Vincent had walked around the city. It was quieter in the mornings and less people so Vincent didn't have to worry so much about too many people recognizing him. For whatever reason, women were attracted to him for his money. It was rather annoying, so Vincent avoided actually dating anyone as of yet.
Anyway, that meeting he was missing? Oh it was nothing too important. It was mostly a discussion of the company's finances. And Vincent didn't really want to sit there having random numbers thrown at him when he already knew the company's finances better than any of the people in his accounting department did. Granted, he knew his absence would annoy some of the older board members, but oh well. Vincent did have a reputation as being rather space-y during meetings anyway.
He shrugged as he continued in the direction of his destination. He had found out about the person he was going to see through some extensive research. There was a project he was working on that he wanted to keep under wraps. That Date guy was rather ruthless in his attempts to bring down Vincent's father's company and wasn't above using low blow tactics such as espionage to do it. As such, Vincent hadn't yet brought up the plans for this secret project of his to the board because he wanted to make sure none of them would blab about it to the press or to Tsuneo Date. Vincent smiled sightly at the thoughts about his new project. He had the plans all set out in his head and the idea behind it as well. But he needed someone who could help him build it.
And his research had brought him to the doorstep he was currently standing on. The residence of one: Nora Kain. Without a second thought like most people about confronting a stranger, Vincent pressed the doorbell, a small smile on his face. This shouldn't be too hard? Should it?

Nora continued working on her food, not wanting to make a mistake and burn the pancakes and waffles she was making. She smiled and looked up when Rissa came downstairs. "I'm making lunch actually, but it's breakfast food so yes, technically it is me making breakfast." Nora poured the batter into the waffle maker and onto her electric griddle. She quickly turned and opened the fridge, grabbing a bag of chocolate chips from inside he scooped out a handful and sprinkled them on her pancakes. Nora had a bit of a sweet tooth and liked chocolate chip pancakes more than regular ones. She set the bag aside and replied to Rissa's second question, "You passed out around 11. Lack of sleep and stress finally caught up with you. As much as you don't want to admit it Rissa, you're not a superhero." Nora left it at that and flipped her pancakes, getting two plates ready for the finished breakfast.
Nora was about to take her pancakes off the griddle when she heard the doorbell ring. "Ack!" she exclaimed and snapped her fingers, letting her robots take over. They slid the pancakes and waffles onto plates and buttered them heavily, bringing them and a bottle of syrup over to the dining room table while Nora headed for the door. She fixed her hair while she walked and opened the door, seeing someone she hadn't expected to see at her door. "Can I help you sir?" She asked politely, wondering what yet another billionaire company owner would want with her, though she had a guess or two.

Vincent stood waiting outside the front door, hands clasped behind his back and rolling back and forth on the soles of his feet. It wasn't that he was impatient. Far from it, in fact. Vincent was a very very patient person. He was just getting into his "waiting" mode really. He figured that at the lunch hour, Ms. Kain would either be cooking or out to eat. Either way, Vincent Myriote was going to wait. It was either wait for the door to be opened, or face the wrath of his bodyguards when he got back to his apartment.
Letting out a light sigh, Vincent waited patiently. It wasn't long before the front door to the house swung open. A small polite smile was on Vincent's face as he turned to face the young woman standing in the doorway. The billionaire turned to look at a woman with long dark purple hair, half of which covered half her face where Vincent could just barely notice the burn scars along the skin. However, Vincent was not the type to rudely blurt out any thought that came to his mind. For all he knew, this young lady was born that way.
In any case, Vincent needed to locate this "Nora Kain" soon and get back to his house before the bodyguards found him. As such, Vincent gave the woman at the door a small smile and asked her politely, "Good afternoon, Miss. Would you happen to be Miss Nora Kain? If not, is she at home?"

Nora blinked when Vincent asked if she was Nora Kain. She smiled politely again and said, "Yes, that's me. Super-genius inventor extraordinaire, but I'm being modest, what can I do for you sir?" Nora glanced behind her and saw that the table was set and ready for eating. She looked back to Vincent for a second and said, "Sorry, I'm being impolite, I just finished making lunch for me and my friend. Is this a business proposal or a private matter?" Nora smiled and fixed her hair in front of her face again, not wanting to make the man feel uncomfortable because of her scars. Her robots were still hard at work setting the table, and Nora wondered if she needed to make more food if this visitor planned on staying for longer than a few minutes.

When the woman introduced herself as Nora Kain, Vincent's smile widened ever so slightly as he closed his eyes in satisfaction with locating the person he'd wanted to meet with. "Then you are just the person I am looking for." Vincent replied in a matter of fact tone with a curt nod. This should go very smoothly if his project idea was well received by Miss Kain. He wasn't bothered at all by her scars, as Vincent had had to deal with lots of strange people in regards to his father's company. He then shook his head when Nora apologized for being in the middle of making lunch. "I should be the one apologizing for interrupting your lunch, so don't apologize to me for that. As for why I'm here, it might be better if we discuss it inside. That is, if I am allowed. If not, I can set up a time with you to stop by when you are less busy. It's not a pressing matter, but I wanted to hire you." Vincent stated, noticing Nora glancing behind her at something. He had figured that she was in the middle of making lunch or working or something at this time. He was perfectly open to stopping by at a later hour or date to discuss his project with Nora.

Nora smiled back at the man and said, "No, it's fine, come on in." Nora stepped aside to allow Vincent to enter and closed the door behind him. She walked towards the kitchen and said, 'You can tell me about your project while I finish lunch. Do you prefer Pancakes or waffles, by the way? You strike me as more of a pancake kind of person... chocolate chip or regular?" Nora snapped her fingers and her various robots scuttled back to the kitchen, cleaning up some of the mess she had made on the counter, but not removing the supplies she needed to make more food. She opened the fridge and took out a carton of milk, pouring two glasses for herself and Rissa. "So tell me about this project and why someone as rich and powerful as Vincent Myriot would want someone outside his company to work on a project for him. I'm guessing it's because of Daté Corp. right? need secrecy so they don't steal your ideas again? Oh yeah, I heard about that whole fiasco a couple years ago, but I'm rambling, so I'll be quiet and let you explain." Nora pointed at two of her robots then out to the dining room table, the robots grabbed the materials necessary to set another place and scuttled off to set the table.

Vincent continued smiling as Nora allowed him into her house. He stepped past her and through the doorway as she closed the front door behind him. Letting Nora lead the way back to the kitchen, Vincent followed after her, noting the androids working in the kitchen to clean up and set the table. To him, it appeared that Nora was quite intelligent and more than capable of handling the project he had for her. "How did you guess I would prefer pancakes? Regular suits me just fine, thank you." Vincent asked, an amused smirk coming to his lips as he watched Nora work on making the food. It was indeed as Nora had said: she was in the middle of making lunch for herself and another woman who was seated at the table already.
When Nora mentioned the whole rivalry between his company and Daté Corp, Vincent let out a laugh. "That whole thing? Oh that was just a small slip up. I mean, who wouldn't expect such a trick from Tsuneo Daté?" Vincent replied. But what he did not mention to Nora was the fact that when Tsuneo had stolen that last product idea from him, the details leaked had left out one key element of the product. As such, it had resulted in a huge flop for Daté Corporation. Of course though Tsuneo had sued Vincent's for a large sum of money. But other than that, it had been settled rather quickly despite Tsuneo's demand for huge restitution and Vincent's stalling about settling it strictly on Tsuneo's terms. But all of that aside, Vincent thought everything was just fine between him and Daté Corp. Of course though, he still hated that upstart b******* Tsuneo for trying to steal his ideas and this resulted in their rivalry.
Smiling nonchalantly and leaning his elbows on Nora's kitchen counter, Vincent proceeded to answer Nora's question about his new project. "Well, in a phrase, its simply virtual reality. I want to create a virtual world which functions in its own right. It would function exactly like a city would, but it would run off of its own circuitry and such." Vincent paused, watched Nora for her reaction, then reconsidered his explanation before speaking again. "...Have you ever seen the movie called "Tron"? It's like that."

Rissa settled at the table to wait for some food when the door bell rang and Nora ran to get it leaving the finishing food for the robots to take care of. the same bot from this morning brought Rissa her food when it was finished and she absentmindedly thanked it as she poured some of the syrup on her waffles and began to dig in, wondering who was at the door, the mail man? perhaps a delivery of something Nora had been waiting for, she was well known for getting interesting stuff. Voices from the living room and entering the kitchen made Rissa rethink her evaluation as she noticed Nora talking to some rather rich looking man. it wasn't uncommon in the club for things like that to happen considering Nora's personality, but Rissa knew Nora enough to see this wasn't a social call, besides didn't she recognize him from somewhere? "Nora? i didn't know you had an appointment today" she said from the table setting down her fork, as the bots came out to set another place at the table for Nora's guest.
