Athan would put his sword down right as soon as Zerori told him to do so. Though she was being more than a little aggressive part of him knew that she would probably be a much nicer person if it was not for all the stress he was putting her under. "I'm sorry." He said as the Katana faded from reality. "I... Don't.... Well what you people are saying is right. There's probably something wrong with me and I just don't have the experience to know what it is. I'm sorry I'm so inadequate and causing you all of this undue stress. I promise I won't try anything like that again. My name is one of the few things I know, my name is Athan 102." He looked kind of upset with himself and felt very bad. Everything he seemed to be doing was wrong.

Articho hung his head in shame. Zerori was right and it was bad that he was condoning the action of stabbing himself. But what if it did fix him, though it didn't seem like he was broken anymore. This android wasn't Bigby, though, and he wondered if whoever created Bigby had made this alternate personality. The hybrid figured the best he could do was learn more about this new person. Athan, he had said. "Hey, don't worry about it," he said. "You just got here and you don't know what's going on. Just give it some time. You'll be alright." He smiled supportively at the android.

Despite her harsh tones, and following softer ones that she wasn’t used to trying to utilize, the two seemed to understand where she was coming from. However, listening to this man’s constant self-defeatist attitude was starting to rankle her again. At being given a name, she didn’t hesitate to address him, “Athan, it is, then. I’m going to need you to trust me for a while until I can get more information on her condition,” Looking around her, she remembered that they were going to make a trip to her place and looked for the direction they should go, “-until then, have a little more faith in yourself. You’re alive, aren’t you? Enjoy that while you can…” After a second more of thinking she made a sound of realization.
Turning to Articho, she nodded in a direction they had to go, “It’s this way,” With a gesture toward Athan, she held out a hand, “I can try and get us there faster unless either of you know how to fly; I’ll provide the direction.” For some reason, despite the confidence she was trying to show them, she felt like there was a specific detail she was missing. Oh, they might need an idea where we’re going! She raised a hand to scratch the back of her head as she faced the direction she pointed out to them, “We’re going to Satan City; I wasn’t there long but I know a dark part of town where we can hide out until I can procure the supplies to diagnose you… it’s just…”
She never really felt nervous about her lifestyle or ashamed of it, but the position she was in – or rather put herself in – felt as though her next words would nullify the positive impact her last did. “I’m going to say this plainly, it seems,” She started, her expression more serious, “-None of the help we need is free and I’m not going to pay for it. If that’s not an obvious enough hint, I’ll spell it out: We’re going to break in to a building, hide there and I’m going to steal the equipment I need. If you disapprove, I don’t care – my admission of this to you is to prevent you from mucking up our crime.”

"Oh I can fly, that will not be a problem. I'll do whatever you say, for now. I trust you Zerori. Are you sure that we need to commit a crime in order to get the equipment however? Unless if you are trying to rebuild me for ease of use all modern androids have usb ports they can use to access ports in computers. So if you wanted to hook me up to a pc first, that might work better." Said Athan, more than a little curious as why they would need to break into a place and commit a crime. Those machines would only be in very specific parts of Satan city. Making them very hard and very dangerous to find.

Articho stared quizzically at Zerori. Stealing? That crossed a few lines that he had drawn for his morals. "Woah, woah, woah," he said, shaking his head. "Why would stealing need to be the immediate choice? Aren't there mechanics or robotists or some kind of scientist who's professionally trained to do this kind of stuff. Back alley tinkering sounds like a really bad idea if the aim is to fix him. Why not give the computer idea a chance first, then run him over to Capsule Corp or something if that falls through?"

Zerori rolled her eyes when her mention of committing a crime brought some anxiety – at least to one of her companions – and shrugged noncommittally. Big-Athan did have a point but she rarely knew where to find such doctors; after all, she’d never seen an android before now so she didn’t know exactly where to go to find out. She supposed she could ask Denizen, since he owed her a few favors, but the idea of letting him let of her for not knowing such a simply thing (if these two were any indication) didn’t appeal to her in the slightest.
“Hm,” She made a noise of contemplation as she eyed both of them. So she needed a computer cord? ‘USB’, as well? The concept would be the same but the technology was slightly rudimentary for what she was used to with hands-free technology. I can work with it, though. Finally, she nodded, “Alright, We can do this legitimately, but you’re going to have to walk me through your own fail safes. I could hack them, but I think you’re going to want to tell me them or risk further damage. For now,” She stepped forward to him and held out an hand for him to take, holding her other hand out to Articho, “-We’ll do it your way and fly there.”
In foresight, Zerori should have never let him flight with her given her irrational fear of heights. The only problem was that if his technical difficulties were a matter of time then she couldn’t afford to lose any of it. I just hope there’s no… turbulence. Her face blanched at the idea, and tried to steel her stomach and muscles from the impending freak out.
(Sorry for the especially small post - focusing on a bigger one next time)

Athan was confused about why Articho would have problems breaking into a place. Before he remembered that the general consensus was that laws should not be broken without the greatest most justifiable reasons. He did however, have to break out laughing when Zerori said somthing in particular. "Haaa! Yeah you could totally hack into me, military grade androids were built to let that happen to them." He spent a few moments chuckling to himself before he then said. "I can fly! In theory at least... Wouldn't want to burden you any more than I already am madam. If I give you access it should be no trouble at all."

Articho inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. They wouldn't be committing any crimes, but he still felt uneasy. Zerori seemed determined to fix Athan herself. The android didn't seem to have fully regained his wits and she was asking him for crucial information that could mean fixing him or bring about more damage or permanent shutdown. The half human decided to go along with their plan, but he would stay ready to run Athan to a professional should things go south. "I hope you're sure about this. You sure you can remember everything about your systems, Athan? You're not in the best of shape right now and your memory seems a little screwy," he said. He looked back at Zerori, shaking his head at her outstretched hand. "I'll just carry you on my back. Athan, you fly next to me. I'm still not 100% sure on you current state and you could break down again. I hope that doesn't offend you, but if she's on my back and you do happen to break down, I can still catch you."

She flushed a bright crimson when Athan laughed at her, obviously not believing her claim to have the ability to hack into him. Military androids, huh? With a scoff, she looked over at Articho with a raised brow. He offered to carry her on his back and provided a compelling reason why. She crossed her arms and sneered at Athan teasingly, "Try to keep up~"
Moving behind the other boy, she raised her arms in preparation to grasp him but paused, suddenly hesitant. With soft huff, she just ignored the slight unease and wrapped her arms around the front of his neck. Instead of giving some sort of reason for her behavior, she hissed in his ear, "If you go fast, I'll choke you..." Completely contradicting her earlier challenge to the android.
She talked big, but she wasn't going to risk insanity.

"Alright then, let's get going." Said Athan shuffling his feet before he shot off in the air going in the exact direction that they needed to do so. Fearing for Zerori he immediately slowed down to 0.6 of his maximum speed and looked back to make sure that the Saiyin's were following behind him. He had no trouble flying, given that the only thing "wrong" with him was the fact that he had unintentionally taken over the mind of the person who was already in the body. He still had all of his information about using the jet's in his feet to fly and was not about to shut down any time soon.

Articho shook his head with a laugh. He had no doubt that Athan would be able to keep up with him since he was in Bigby's body. It was hard to gauge an android's strength due to their inability to be sensed. Given that Bigby had be able to stand against his own Great Ape form with ease, he had no doubt that Athan was fast.
The hybrid watched over Zerori make her way behind him. He smiled at her teasingly, "I'll be sure to go just under the speed of sound," he said jokingly as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Athan had already taken off into the sky and he lifted Zerori up onto his back in a piggy back position. Articho quickly took off into the sky and caught up behind the android, who had thankfully slowed down. He was mostly thankful for his own sake because being choked by Zerori did not sound fun.
"You alright back there?" he called back to her with a chuckle.

She rolled her eyes at Articho's joke, a comeback right on the tip of her tongue but lost it in lieu of releasing a shriek that she didn't have time to conceal. Sonofabitch! Her mind screamed in a panic and tightened her grip around him near instantaneously. She only intended on wrapping her arms around him with her legs hanging behind him. However, her reaction to his speed had her closing them around his waist with crushing force.
"Gkh! I said-!" She gagged mid-sentence, her hands coming up to grip at his shoulders. When he slowed down to ask her something, she groaned and went slightly lax. After getting her composure ever so slightly, she reached over his shoulder before presenting her middle finger silently as they continued on. Hearing his amusement had her imagining the myriad of ways to inflict pain as her stomach eased its tumble.
It continued like this, with Zerori bitching about every slight increase in speed and threatening his life in her panic, until they reached the city. Pointing out where she resided, she let Articho land her before youching the ground and immediately sitting down. Holding a hand to her face, she resolved to absolutely get over this fear. "Just gimme a minute..." She muttered lowly.

Bigby would come to a slow landing on the side walk, shaking his feet off as the burning hot jet's actually managed to burn the crap out of the concrete that they were standing on. Eventually a bit of mist came out of the red hot jet's, coolant which helping things considerably. The flight had been simple and clean for him, there could be no simpler of a flight for the android with all the information ans skill his predecessor had gathered. "Take all the time you need, I need to cool my jet's as well. Are you feeling alright?" He asked, leaning against a wall.

Articho winced at the sound of Zerori's shrieks of fear. Maybe he should have taken it slower in the take off. Her vice-like grip was slowly crushing his spleen, making him really regret moving so quickly. He took a heavy breath of relief when she moved to gripping his shoulders. The hybrid chuckled when she flipped him the bird. He still found it amusing that she was so scared. Zerori could probably take down some powerful foes, but it seemed all you needed to do was take her off of the ground and it was over. Though he kept his speed a little lower, just enough to keep up with Athan.
Articho touched down in the city street. Zerori's weight quickly disappeared from his shoulders and he turned around to see her sitting down. "You need a doggy bag?" he asked her with genuine concern. He wasn't sure if she was ready to hurl right in the street. If she was, well, then the young hybrid was glad Zerori was off of his back before she did.

God…damn, this is embarrassing, Zerori thought with detest, her stomach only slightly allowing her to move a bit more before she sighed deeply. Giving a final swallow, she stood up on shaky legs before looking to the both of them with a serious expression, “I’m fine now; just takes a bit to get used to,” After a prolonged moment, she walked towards the direction of her apartment with a slight stagger in her step. Angrily, she stamped down her nausea and trembling before walking properly along the streets towards a less populated part of town. Taking deep breaths as she did, Zerori would speak to them over her shoulder, “Okay, so I can buy a USB cord from any store and we can use my system on my scouter – that’s pretty much covered. I just need to get you comfortable and… somehow get a source of Wi-Fi,” As she said this, partially noting it to herself, she assed by a man selling video phones.
Turning his back to yell at a boy for nearly knocking down his set-up, Zerori used the opportunity to quickly snatch one from the table and continue on her way like nothing happened. With a glance over her shoulder, she presented them a very clear glare that said ‘Say anything, and you’ll regret it’, before she passed a corner. She stayed there for a second before gesturing them to stay and putting the confiscated phone in her pocket, “One second,” She told them and walked back toward the man’s stand.
The man saw her approach, a balding gentleman whom seemed about middle age and he greeted her nervously. Not much could be heard between the two, except that she gave him a card to swipe and she received a cord in response. Walking back to them, they would just barely hear ‘You forgot your credit chip!’ before she waved him off to keep it. What was left on it would pay for his personal phone she’d taken – but he wouldn’t know that.
“Alright, that’s taken care of. So…onward to my place?” She asked them, unaware of their personal feelings on what had just happened. It was how she got around the little nit-picky bug of a conscience she had – backwards as it functioned.
