Elysia ran through the city, she was looking for a man though in a city this big it was unlikely to happen. She treated him like she did a supernatural she was hunting but had heard that he'd been gone for a while traveling. She fell to her knees devastated, right where he had found her before. She looked around the damned park, the place her father had been killed. She held back the vomit that threatened to rise. She was being chased by the Dhampirs that had adopted her three years ago in Whales. She took deep hard breaths. Thankfully she'd lost them two days prior but they'd be catching up soon. Thankfully she was eighteen so they couldn't use the police to find her, and they would have to wait till night to drag her away there were to many people during the day, some of which stared at the purple and black haired asian looking female. She stood up and fixed her hat. She closed her eyes and tried to regain herself, "Adam... please... oh please let me find you."

Adam sneezes, for some reason he sneezed, he never had allergies or got sick since he was a child. His alchemy made sure of that but regardless he looked confused as if he almost forgot what it felt like. "Hmm...." He looked around as he was passing a park, some woman was seeming to have an episode, this was Chicago, it happened.
He had returned home to look for some honest work, it had been a while and he needed a break from hunting. Adam had traveled the USA as well as some other parts of the world and he was tired. The bag of groceries were in his arms as he walked past the park, his recognizable jacket and hood were up. The jeans and boots were still the same and the elegant and well designed bright silver chain on his jeans had yet to change over the years. Granted the rest of him and his cloths seemed beat to hell but the silhouette of the man was that of the one from years prior.
A song came into his head as he left the store and he felt the need to whistle it once more. As Adam passed the park he whistled I Don't Care by Apocalyptica, he wasn't trying to but it was loud enough to be heard from wherever the girl was. He kept walking, the man was the same but he didn't feel like she was in danger.

Elysia looked up in time to see the man, and while he hadn't truly changed over the years, she had. She had filled out more, and grew into her body. She wasn't very tall, but it was the song that had made her look up at him. She ran over to him, she grabbed his jacket she didn't care if was actually him or not, she needed to know, and she worried that the Dhampirs were around, which wasn't far from the reality of it. She looks at him, "E-excuse me... are you Adam? ... Um an Adam that happened to save a thirteen year old girl here about five years ago?" She asks her voice a little frantic. She looked up at him with purple contacts in over her normally blue eyes. She seems so scared, exhausted, and plain shaky. She looked around them to make sure that the Dhampirs weren't around. Everyone around them who couldn't hear assumed she had found the person she was looking at since she'd seemed lost only moments before.

Adam instinctively tossed one bag of groceries up ever so slightly as he whipped his gun from his back, the other bulled out with balancing acts. He had his guns under the bags as he pointed them at the girl. He was more skilled than when he saved her five years ago but he didn't remember. "....Yes.... Why....." A cold gaze from him with a tone to match as he watched her. This trick had been used before where a cute little woman or girl comes up, asks a strange question, and then tries to kill him. With or without removing her clothing. It's a sick world and he was tired and used to this crap.
The guns barely visible but still noticeable to the woman if she looked. "Who are you and what do you want...." Adam remembered the girl, he remembered the day and the events, he remembers the girl pleading with him to take her with him. Then he had no time and now he wasn't touring the states anymore... well.. at least not at the moment.

She looked at the gun and then up at him. She looks at him and sighs biting her lip rather hard, "B-because... I'm her... I'm Elysia." She said before looking around again. "I... I want to get out of this park." She said her voice shaking a little bit, "Please... I've come all the way from Whales looking for you." She said through a stutter. She returned her eyes to the gun pointed at her, but she didn't seem afraid of the gun. She looked around and spotted the woman looking at her. She looked at Adam, "C-can we please get out of here... please I don't care if you take me to your house or somewhere else... please just get me out of this park." She said, trying not to show what she was looking at. She didn't want to reveal things to early, she needed to tell him what had happened when she could actually think straight. If that ever happened.

Adam sighs, This is how it starts he thought to himself, "take the bags." he motions for her to grab them, once she does his guns are already away as he walks once again toward his house. He says nothing but keeps a quick yet easily kept pace for the girl.
The thoughts of that night came back, he was heart broken when the girl asked to come with him but he knew he would either turn into a monster or be the cause of her death. He had trained now and woken up to reality but still, why was this girl back here looking for him. He was careful of the situation but noticed the glance around. Against everything his mind was saying, he trusted her, they made it to his house as he goes to the side of it.
Adam opens the garage and waits for her to get in before closing it. A black stallion of a truck roars alive as he got in to the garage, he flicks his wrist oddly and the truck turns off. "Now... Explain..." The garage was detached from the house but underground was a different story. If he felt her story was true, they would just go in that way, however if he called bullshit on her then this is where the trail ended.

Elysia took the bags and followed him, her heart racing thinking of the Dhampir that could be following them. She'd hoped that, that wasn't the case. When they got into the garage she jumped hearing the truck start. She let out a sigh and debated where to begin. She thought back to that night, "After the night I met you... I was taken back to Whales... back to my home town. When I got there I was put in Foster Care... I moved around a lot. No one really wanted me, until I came up to one family... I didn't know what they were... I have no idea how to tell." She gained control over herself, "They knew I was a hunter, they knew my father had been a hunter... so instead of kill me they made it so I couldn't hunt. Every time I tried..." She trailed off there deciding not to get into it, "I ran away... And I thought of you, I got odd jobs and worked hard for the money to move to America... or to at least get here. I had to find you Adam... I need your help they're after me, they're going to take me back and they are going to kill me." She was brutally honest.

"Fuck me..." he blurted out as he looked at her. He corrected himself with a hand over his head. "Not... literally... I... *sigh* That's a bit of a story..." Adam gazes out the window. "..... do you have a house?" He says as he looks to her. Regardless he continues "For now, You can stay here..." he closes the blinds on the windows as he starts to move a tool bench, Under where the tool bench was is a small hatch that he lifts and raises his hand. Pressing his thumb against it causes another hatch to open on the other side.
Adam moves the bench back after hiding the scan once more. He doesn't say anything but just nods toward the hatch going down. Slowly climbing down he goes. It's a simple tunnel under the garage, nothing big. He took one of the bags from her as he started to climb and let her carry another. If she didn't he would groan and hand her the current back he was holding while he got the other one. Either way at the end of the tunnel was one more of these scanners hidden in wood. A scan and an unlatching noise let them into the basement of the house. "Make yourself at home..." in the corner was a small puppy that was jumping around in excitement. The dog had blue eyes and the dark markings of a husky but it was easily the body and fluffiness of a golden retriever. "Hey Loki! I brought a friend!" he chimes in as he pets the puppy. The golden retriever and husky mix growls just slightly at the woman while wagging its tail before it stands up, tongue hanging out, and begins to hop around her feet barking only twice. Adam pulled out a small stuffed animal from his bag and the dog instantly stops and wags it's tail. Sitting the puppy yaps at Adam before he tosses it to the dog. The dog seems over joyed as it rolls around and carries the stuffed animal around. It's a little lopsided as the toy is just as big, if not a little bigger than the puppy.
Adam proceeds upstairs as the dog follows, hopping as it trips over the toy every once and a while. He to the kitchen as he starts to put away the groceries. The puppy rolls around with yaps and whips the toy around, that dog is going ape shit with the new toy and seems very happy. Adam's apathetic expression seems to counteract the happiness of the puppy even though every time the puppy comes up to him he leans down, pets it, and smiles softly until the puppy runs off again.

His exclamation got a shocked reply from her no words, but than he started to correct himself. She shakes her head when he asks about another house, "I spent all my money coming to look for you." She replied before following him. His security system reminded her much of the one that her and her parents had, had at her home. She followed him and watched him interact with the puppy. Finally unable to hold herself back anymore, she looks up at him, purple eyes blinking. "What happened over the past five years Adam... you seem so different... so apathetic." She thought back to that day, "I understand if you don't want me..." She said, the exact same words she'd said while being taken away by the child protective services. Her anger problems since then had only grown worse, but she knew only Adam. Knew that only he could help her. No other hunter would look out for her. Hunter's tended to be loners, but she'd seen Adam help her when she needed it.

Adam shakes his head. "Don't be an idiot...." he spoke as he continued to put stuff away. "You can live here if you want..." he says it as if it's no big deal. Adam throws the toy for the puppy and a glimmer of the Adam she used to know shines through. His apathy returned as he starts to put stuff in the fridge. "I grew up... I changed because I needed to in order to survive... also... Women do that to a man sadly...." He smiles softly as he finishes putting stuff away from the bags.
The puppy brought the toy to the girl now, wagging it's whole body in it's display of happiness. It might remind the girl of how Adam used to be, maybe the reason he had the puppy. "If you live here though... No one else is to enter the house without my knowledge.... If you bring someone in you better have a damn good answer..." He points to the puppy, "If you live here you must help me take care of loki." He smiles a little warmer now, another sliver of the old Adam sneaking through before the toughened Adam returned.
He walks back to the rooms. "hmmm... I only have one bed at the moment... your choice..." he starts to trail off in thought. "We could pick up a bed and turn the weight room... move the weights down stairs..." he trails off as he walks downstairs. "You can share my bed only, and if only, you wear fully sleep wear like me... no shenanigans.... it's a king size so it's not weird...." he comes back up with a bag of cloths, pajamas and the sorts from when he was younger and her size. "No crazy shit.... " If she didn't know any better it seemed Adam was excited to have some else living with him. The dog seemed happy company but could not hold a conversation.

Elysia looked at the floor and sighed as he let her know she was being stupid, but if he'd known what the past few years had been like, he'd know that she's not used to being wanted. She nods as he offers her his place to stay, though mentally she figured it wouldn't last long before her own problems caused a problem for him. She looks at him as he starts to speak of what happened to him, "You say that women do that to a man... and yet you smile when you think about her... who is she?" She asked before looking down at the puppy. She took the toy and tossed it smiling at the dog. The puppy did in fact remind her of Adam, but she wondered if the dogs fate would be the same.
She looks at him and nods, she didn't trust anyone but Adam so she had no friends, no one to invite into Adam's home. She felt like she was back at home learning the rules her father taught her before her first day of kindergarten. She nods and then shakes her head when he starts talking about the dog, "I-i'm... I've never had a dog before Adam, I wouldn't know what to do... and I don't want to kill Loki." It was obvious she already cared about the dog. She sighs as she sees the colder Adam return.
She follows him and nods, listening as he trailed off in thought. "I would like that..." Though something in her sounded worried about having her own room. She nods again when he speaks of her being in his bed. "I'm still a virgin Adam. I don't even know where to begin." She took the clothes from him and looked through them, "Are these..." she cut herself off noting that a lot of it was power rangers and the like. Wow... that was old. Then again she was only three when he was twelve. She smiles up at him happy to have some company for herself but then her look turns grave and she asks again, "Who is she?" Only if he didn't answer before.

Adam avoided the first question but answered the second. "Just take him for a walk and stuff... I'll show you... it's some what relaxin' and rewardin' all on it's own." A sigh escapes his mouth as she asks once more. "It is not one... I... I have loved a few women in my life... but others I have feared... it's... complicated..." he starts to look for move the weights around. "Help me with this stuff...." Simple weights in the room, nothing too heavy at least not yet. He was moving it into the basement. There was a room where the dog could not reach and thus this is where the weights went. It was storage for the moment.
Adam had told loki to stay and so, listening to his master, the puppy stayed on his little pillow, wagging his tail and watching the stuff move. "One woman, I don't know if I should treat her as a sister or a lover.... another I want to build the world... another wears many faces but part of her is not enough....another will far outlive me....so... As I said... Women change a man...." he talked while moving stuff. After a little bit of a pause he chimed in, ".... got tired of being second thought or not good enough." if he heard the words or just simply felt that was unknown.
They, or if it's just him, finish moving the weights as they lock the door and loki runs down at Adam's whistle. During the moving Adam had reveled his scar riddled torso after removing his jacket shirt and guns. He was sweaty and muscular, scarred and not very hairy. He motioned for Elysia to follow him as they walked into the room. It was hard wood floors with a dark navy blue colored wall. "If you want, we can pain it...." he says as he turns to the bathroom. "Gonna take a shower..." Adam moves toward the bathroom in an attempt to take a shower unless stopped.
Adam would start to undress as the door was slightly closed, he was not used to company and so he just disrobed, the door was opened enough to see him change in the mirror as he hops in the shower.

Elysia nodded and sighed, he had so money problems with women she didn't want to become another one. She sighed and went into one of the rooms, she slipped out of her clothes and slipped on a pair of the clothes he'd given her. She walked past his bathroom and out onto the couch. Laying down on it she covered her face, she wondered about the dhampir's and if maybe her leaving would be better, but decided against it ultimately. She laid there for a while and as long as she was uninterupted, she would eventually fall asleep, curling up on the couch, looking very much like the kitten her hat resembled. Sticking out the back of her pants actually was a cat tail that was clipped onto her pants. It looked like she had tried to blend in as a Japanese tourist or Japanese American as much as physically possible. She'd even put her hat back on, and her tail after changing into the power rangers t-shirt and loose fitting pants. Had she been awake she would have wondered how long it'd been since Adam wore these clothes.

Adam gets out of the shower, wet and happy, yet his face showed nothing but a soft smirk. He dried himself off as he pulls on loose pajama pants he had brought in. The house was bolted and locked down tight. It would take hell on earth to get into his house now that he was inside. He came out as he was using the towel to dry his hair, he noticed the sleeping girl in the living room and sighed.
He fights back a chuckle as a large grin crosses his face as he sees her in his old cloths from when he was a child. Adam looks at loki who was also asleep on his own pillow, feet up in the air and tongue to the side. He bent down and picked her up as carefully as he could to not wake her. Slowly he began to walk to his room as he stubbed his toe ever so slightly. Pain shot through his body as he let out a silent scream, mouth open as he stood there yet no scream was heard. He closed his eyes and mouth for just a second before continuing to his room. Carefully he sets her down on the bed, the sheets already pulled back in preparation for his return. He slowly pulls up the sheets on her as he looks upon her. Thoughts rush his head as he shakes them out and leaves the room, gently closing the door.
He didn't close it all the way as the door just cracks open in the slightest. He had returned to the living room as he proceeded to turn on the TV, Soft volume but enough to wake up the puppy. Slowly adam watched whatever was on as he sat, Loki had rested itself upon his master's lap. If nothing happened Adam would fall asleep on the coach, laying down with the puppy in his arms.

Elysia tossed and turned on the bed, the dhampir's plaguing her dreams. She wakes up with a start after many nightmares, she only wondered at what had happened with Adam over the past five years, though it seemed to her maybe he'd gotten himself into one to many beds. She gets out of bed, noticing she is alone. She wanted to cry, but she wouldn't do that here, not in Adam's room or presence for that matter. She had to show she was strong, otherwise he might try to stop her from hunting. That was what she needed! A hunt. She walked out into the living room and decided to watch some TV at least for a moment before waking Adam up to get him to go to his bed. She rubbed her eyes and stares blankly for a few moments before her eyes closed and she slumped over onto him. She stayed asleep, though being close to him made it easier to not have the nightmares.
