Adam had been between a rock and a hard place with his guns as well as his body. He thought of the woman in the robotic suit and sweet bike. Also the robot dog made him trail off of thought into a tangent of thoughts and ideas. He had just aquired a cell phone for the time being and pulled out a piece of paper with different names and phone numbers. Adam plays around with the phone in it's pink case and hello kitty cellphone accessory dangly thing. He was thinking this as he stood over the corpse of a deamoness in a room full of dead men. He paced back and forth as the phone rang, and rang and then a "Hello" was his response.
Adam's silver tongue seemed to be natural whenever he was talking with a woman if he helped it or not. "Hey hun, It's Adam Helviath... Miss me?" he chuckles "Can I visit ya? I kinda wanna study robots a lil more and see if ya could look at my guns.... And this phone...." He looks around as he kicks over a few tanks of gas he brought in. He lights a zippo from the deamoness as he tosses it into the building and walks out to his truck. If he got the go ahead he would ask "Can I snag your address?"
Sitting behind her desk Korina was drumming her fingers upon the desk, staring blankly at the screen before her. Complex diagrams where all across the screen, three or four of the same object. It had four large curving arcs that all started from a circular base and almost touched at the top, but they didn't. One of the diagrams showed the four arcs rotating slowly around a blue spot on the floor. She sighed as rubbed her forehead. This machine was giving her issues. After seeing several supernatural beings achieve it SHE wanted to be able to do it as well.
Raphael's cool, sexy Hispanic voice broke her thoughts. "Korina, there is an unknown cellular number attempting to contact you. Should I block it, trace it or are you going to answer it." She blinked thinking and sighed. Only a few people had her number, and if it had been a telemarketer Raphael would have known and already informed her. She pushed back away from the desk and rolled her wheelchair across the room.
"I'll take it Rapheal. It may be Rae, although unlikely. She seems to prefer blowing up my inbox." She grinned and shook her head thinking of the eccentric girl. She grasped the old school phone hanging on the wall still connected with a wire, albeit a very long wire. She didn't like the knew phones...just a personal tick. Cell phones where ok, but not the newer house phones. She pressed the speaker to her ear and trapped it their with her shoulder while turning and rolling back to the center of the room where Eddie stood. "Hello?" She spoke in to the receiver as she looked over Eddie. The poor machine had gotten trashed in the battle against the birds, and she had not wanted to pull away from her much bigger and more exciting project. So only a few of the small worker drones where attending him, and most of the work that had been done had been done by her own hand.
"Adam...? Adam Helviath? Yea...I remember you. You helped me blow up my bike." She giggled at the thought and nodded. "Hmm, yea I guess you can come over. Not like I have somebody here already...." She kinda left that hanging and decided to let him think as he wished about it. "Who's phone are you on, and what in the world is that roaring noise?!" She had actually had to pull the phone away from her ear as the noise and rushed through. "Jeez Adam....what did you blow up this time? An entire warehouse? Yea you better get over here....cause the cops are gonna be looking for you, and you'll need to clean up I'm sure." At this point she looked down at her self, in a sports bra and short shorts that wouldn't catch on things while she worked. Grease was smeared all over her arms, stomach, and legs, and she shook her head. She rattled off her address to the male and hung up. She would need to shower and get dressed as well. Rolling to the door she pressed her palm against it and it slid open, then closed behind her as she rolled to her bedroom to get ready.

Adam put the phone in his pocket as he floored it, He was in the middle of nowhere but thankfully that seemed relativly close to where korina was located. Adam had been doing a ton of things since he last blew up the woman's bike with his liquid explosives but he was excited to see what else she had up her sleeves. Adam noticed fire trucks rushing to the abandoned building in the woods as he started to drive faster. eighty and he was starting to wonder what the woman looked like out of her suit. He didn't remember because the battle was draining for him.
Adam was going about one twenty now as he swurved in and out of traffic with a hand on the wheel and one on holding up his head next to the window. "I wonder if she has a giant robot like optimus prime...." He laughs as he goes one seventy, drifting the turns like it's not weird at all for a truck to do so.
Adam roars into the address' street as he slows down, "Thank the duchess..." he mutters as the brakes work instantly before he runs over a poor cat minding it's own business. He pulls up to the woman's house as the truck silences itself as he gets to the door. He rings the bell and rocks back and forth on his heels with a box in tow under his left arm. Adam's truck was filled with boxes and boxes of alchemical junk, mixtures and things ready to be mixed to make his bullets. Many of it was dormant until he made the bullets or final mixtures. Each box had the vials carefully spaced and cushioned in case of a crash. He had been smoking for a bit before he got there and after ringing the door bell he put the black stick back into his jacket as he smiled. His gaze shifting around covered by his sunglasses. Adam was very nervous but thought things would go over smoothly with his gift.
As Adam approached her home, his vehicle would go over a slight bump as if a structure had once been there, surrounding her home. As he approached the door and rang the bell a series of extremely unnerving things would happen. From around him, speakers would begin blaring, repeating a phrase over at over. "Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" Brilliant red and white lights began flashing, in his face from strobe lights. Worst of all, a panel slid open above and behind him slightly, a weaponized turret descending an swiveling in his direction. The ominous whirring as the twin fifty caliber Gatling cannons revved up filled the air as well.
Korina had just gotten out of the shower. She had slipped on some undergarments, then her navy fatigue military pants. Finally a simple white 'wife beater' as many called it went on over her bra. She was toweling her hair dry when the alarm began sounding. She began blessing herself out, having forgotten in all the excitement the past few months that she had never rebuilt her fence and cameras. She rolled as quickly as she could down the hallway, knocking a small table over on the way and flung the door open. "Raphael, stand down!" She yelled as she pressed her palm against a biometric palm scanner. The lights and sound instantly died and the turret disappeared back into the ceiling.
"I'm so sorry Adam!" She gasped, pushing her long brown hair behind her ears. "I forgot to warn you the fence was down where you should have been stopped and allowed access." She looked up at him from her wheelchair with her large doe like brown eyes. "I'm really really sorry."

Adam quirked an eyebrow as he set the box down and raised his hands at the noise and gun. "I called... I CALLED!" he shouts at the gun as if that would do anything but he shifts his attention as the door flings open. When it settles down he once again picks up his box as he looks at Korina. He didn't know she was in a wheel chair based on the suit she wore.
The words rang but he was focused on the wheel chair and her appearance. Different than he expected but not in a bad way. "Hmm.. yes.. no...don't worry about it..." He tripped over his words just slightly. This was a lot of information to process at once and his nervousness came with it. He flushed slightly as he handed her the box. "I brought you somethin'....well I always have it with me... figured you'd enjoy it.... if you could use it... ya.. don't...." He then waves his hands "never mind...... I'll show ya what's inside later..." He smiles warmly as he looks inside her house as well as outside now that the guns are gone. He lifts up his sunglasses as his bright blue eyes seem to look in wonder and excitement. He was excited to see someone else's lab and possibly learn something.
He waits patiently to be invited in as he holds his arms behind his back, looking at her with a bright smile.
Korina took the box slowly, smiling and blushing. It had been a long time since anybody had given her a present, except her dad. She sat watching Adam as he tried to explain what it was but was stammering to hard. She giggled and patted his arm. "Calm down Adam. Thank you very much." She turned her chair in a hundred and eighty degree circle. It was a manual chair, cause she had tried one of those electric ones but hated how lazy it made her feel even if it was fun to tinker with. "Come on in Adam. I'm sure your thirsty and/or hungry from driving all that way. By the way....you should slow down dear. At those speeds even the seatbelt would be useless of you wrecked. It would only serve to cave your chest in at that point. I would hate to see that happen."
Rolling down the hallway she righted the table she had knocked over and set the picture of her dad in his admiral uniform back upon it. Then she rolled on in to the kitchen and opened a cupboard. She grabbed two glasses and went to the fridge. She open it and looked back at him over her shoulder. "What will it be? I have water, milk, apple juice. Beer..." She filled one glass with ice cold water as she spoke to him for herself.

Adam smiled as she made the comment and without thinking words left his mouth. "If you find it a shame to see my chest cave in with all this on, you should see me shirtless..." Adam quirked his own eyebrows as he realizes what he just said. It's been a long time since his seeming ADD kicked in. Mouth reacting before the process of the brain stops him, simply speaking the first thing that pops in good or bad. Adam shakes his head as he flushes slightly at the comment.
When offered the drink he smiles brightly as he asked for a drink. "Can I switch up my choice later?" he muses once more, again wondering what has gotten into him. With another smile he asks. "Water please...." He removes his sun glasses and puts them in his jacket and then proceeds to take off his jacket and set it on a chair. He never took his jacket off during the hunt but she might get a sense why. His jacket was placed on the chair but slid off with a overly loud 'THUD', much to loud of a sound for a simple jacket. He had done something to it. His arms were very lean and muscular with scars decorating them. His shirt was very think and looked to be partially body armor in a weird sense. The jacket, and it seemed the shirt too, added a lot of girth to the man for he was far leaner than it appeared he was with the jacket. The two bandoleers decorated with a plethora of ammunition rested on them as he put them on top of his jacket. He had his onyx and silver guns placed on top of them as well. All neatly piled into the chair closest to him. When he was handed the water he smiles politely and tips to a soft bow. "Thank you very much..."
Adam felt safe here, if he had any doubts at the start, the Gatling gun outside made sure he felt safe once inside. "I was wonderin' if you could help me spruce up my guns a bit...." he speaks, silver lacing his words.
Korina blushed at his shirtless comment but didnt respond at all. She filled the second glass with water as well and turned around laughing. "Of course you can change it up later. It isn't like your making a life altering decision Adam over a beverage. Well...the beer maybe but that only applies to excess, driving or operating heavy machinery, and sex." She grinned and handed him the glass of water before sipping her own. She looked at all his stuff and shook her head.
"That stuff must be so hot to wear all the time. Don't you like, over heat and get heatstroke or something?" She asked, rolling closer and examining it all closely with out touching. "Hmm...spruce up your guns huh? In what way? You already have these high tech bullets. Mine rifle is nifty an all but nothing like those. I just modified some already existing technology to be honest. Took an AA-12 shotguns grenade style shells and modified them to be smaller and fit inside a machine gun bullet. A small electromagnet on the barrel trips the firing pin and they explode on impact. It wasn't anything exemplary honestly."
She watched as the large dome like structure with jellyfish style tendrils below it slowly entered the room, drifting around lazily then slowly exited, the small robotic bees buzzing around it. They flew in to the machine through holes on its upper surface and through the tendrils while some flew out of the machine and then flew back out the doorway. She sighed and shook her head watching the machine leave. "I really should do something with that....it's hideous and not very efficient." She mused aloud then turned back to Adam.
"Sorry, so what is it you have in mind for your pistols?"

Adam laughs a little as he nods in agreement to the beer comment but the word sex for some reason causes him to choke on air and flush red slightly. He wasn't thinking about it before but now it's on his mind and he quickly puts the glass to his mouth and starts to drink as he looks away. His color returns to normal as Adam starts to nod at the comment about it being hot. "Thankfully I have great endurance and stamina... It just takes practice..." As she gets closer and starts to talk about guns.
"I know they're different but your tech is marvelous... I'm sure you can figure something out... hell even just watching you work would be worth the trip up here.... " He says as matter-o-factly but takes one of his guns. "They recognize my hand print but that's about it in terms of sci-fi... Maybe... is there a way to make them have almost no kick back what so ever? or somethin' weird..." He chuckles as he starts to take off his boots, They also thunk very loudly, was everything he wore weighted? The boots rested on the floor as he took his socks off and then took daggers from his legs and put them in the boots. "I hope you don't mind... Sorry I forgot to ask before I just did it..." he motions to the boots. "I can put them back..." He looked at the thing that was floating about, he heard her mention it but didn't look till after his boots. "Woah!" He walks over to it, slowly, carefully, and then for some reason proceeds to jab it with his finger right as it was leaving. Adam was curious and playful. A rare form as of late but a form of him none the less. He felt very safe around the woman.
Korina shrugged her shoulders as he removed his shoes then gestured at her own bare feet. "I don't mind, although obviously it would be a waste of time putting shoes on inside especially as I don't walk. As to your guns...I suppose I could add to the handprint scanner something that could possibly paralyze it otherwise incapacitate somebody besides you from using them. Unfortunately with a pistol their isn't much you can so for the blowback system, that's kinda needed to eject the cart.."
She cut off as he yelled wow and poked the floating jellyfish thing as it left and she laughed. "Oh that isn't anything really. Looks cool but it is really nothing more a giant recharge station for my swarm. It floats around the house aimlessly, and the bees find it when they need to recharge." She chuckled at his fascination. "Well, grab your weapons and stuff as we'll go in the back an see what we can do."
She rolled out of the kitchen and down the hallway. She came to the huge steel, vault like door leading in to her back room, and stopped. She pressed her palm to the glowing green scanner, then her eye was placed against a black cup one scan her retina, and finally she spoke aloud. "Raphael, Korina and Adam to enter please." There where several extremely loud clicks and bangs and the door swung open. "Come on in Adam, just mind the swarm. They get annoyed when people interrupt their work and so have a nasty bite although I never installed any stingers or venom." She laughed and rolled inside, the door would swung shut behind him and close, locking itself. Eddie, her ten foot tall robot stood in the middle of the room near the front. RIPPER, the mech dog lay in a corner, being fixed up himself from the battle with the Stymphalian birds. He lifted his head as they entered as barked happily at Adam but was unable to approach due to his maintenance and being plugged in to charge.
Behind Eddie stood something else, it was much taller, and covered in a black sheet. On a work table/desk near the corner where RIPPER lay her rifle was laying and her computer. She rushed over and quickly pressed the power on the monitor cutting it off. Far in the back was something extremely large, covered in heavy black canvas that many of her little bees where flying to and from, creating a very loud hum from that direction.

Adam was amazed at the sight of it all, he laughed at her comment about the bees, he didn't know what else to do. His gaze turned to his mechanical buddy as he chimed in "Hey buddy!" He started to walk over to the mecha-dog to pet it, just because it was made of metal doesn't mean it was any less a dog. Adam noticed Korina dart to the computer as he averted his eyes as she shut it off. "I didn't see anythin' I swear...." he says calmly as he pet the dog. "This is like willy wanka on crack... but with computers.... and bees instead of oompah loompahs... and you know what... Bad analogy... It's awesome...." He sees the giant thing under the tarp and figures she wishes it kept hidden but he can only imagine. 'she has optimus prime'.
Adam smiles as he puts his stuff down by the dog but carries his ammo and guns over to Korina. "How do you find time to stay so beautiful with all this machinery to work on." He muses, once again silver lacing his words. He gently sets his munitions on a near by table as he hands the guns to her. Still marveling about the lab.
Korina turned an watched him go to let RIPPER who loved the attention even if it couldn't actually 'feel' the petting. She smiled and shook her head slowly, laughing softly at his quick reassurance. "Oh, it's not that. It isn't even close to ready. It may not even work. I don't wanna get anybody excited until I am sure is all." She smiled and rolled over across the room, patting her ten foot tall robot upon its leg. "You remember Eddie from when he helped us with the Stymphalian birds right. He's still being fixed up, as he took a really brutal pounding."
She rolled passed Eddie and touched the black sheeted thing behind him. "This....this is the next logical step. Not an upgrade to Eddie, but something very different but based upon him." She smiled and grinned at Adam. "I call it The Kraken." She looked back at the other thing covered on a much heavier canvas. "Hmmm....that...well that you wouldn't believe me, because that's only a piece of it. The rest is hidden upon an airforce base. It's only about a third completed."
Rolling back to the table he set his guns upon she laughed at his analogy. "No it's a good one. How do I keep up. Well I'm kinda trapped ya know." She motioned at her lower body. "I don't go out much to be honest but that's alright. I don't mind. Plus I have all my drone to help me out. They so most of the hard work. Like Eddie here only took about a month to fully construct. The rest was all spent on research and testing with final modifications that I have to do myself by hand. Those are truly the hardest things to accomplish. Feel free to look around Adam. I really don't have anything to hide. Just lots of stuff that can be stolen. Thus all my security." She grinned and picked up one of his pistols. She sighed and handed it to him. "Adam....your handprint please?"

Adam just listens as he walks over to her, he feels weird so he gets behind her and grabs the gun out of her hand, unlocks it, and leans over her. He shows her how to turn it off. A small location with the saftey not actually notched. When his hand is on it he switches it to that setting and it's off. He still leans over her, ghost style, and does the same with the other gun. "I have a question... what do I owe ya for takin' me in, showin' me all this awesome stuff... and doin' work on my guns?" He speaks playfully. "I have somethin' in mind but well... I'd have to run out for a moment if you agree to it...."
He walks to where he set his water down and takes a sip. "give me your idea and I will either share mine if I find it better... if its the same or lesser I'll share too... BUT then you can decide if you want to combine the ideas... or not...." He seems to fumble slightly at his explanation but hopefully he gets the point across. He seems nervous at this for some reason.
Adam remembered his child hood being caged up in a house, it's not the same as in a wheel chair but like him she made a means to get out of the 'cage'. Granted Adam was thrust head first out of the cage and fought to survive but he didn't have the strength to fight things of legend while being in a wheelchair. Adam was impressed by this woman, very impressed, more so than when they hunted the birds.
She nodded as he showed her how to keep the guns 'unlocked' and nodded her head. "Alright thank you. I am thinking we add some sort of small batter pack. It will act like a taser so when somebody tries to use the weapon it will electrocute them quite bad. There are also some rather interesting poisons I have looked at which can render a person unconscious or paralyzed. We could have small spikes coated in it come out to pierce their hand. The second thing I was thinking...." She picked up his huge bandoleers. "These are really big and awkward. I can understand if you like them but we can surly find something better to fill them with. Grenades perhaps? Your ammo...I think we can modify you pistols to be voice activated. Hmm...did you ever see the new Dredd movie. He speaks to his gun and tells it what style ammunition he wants. I'm pretty sure I can rig these up that way. A computer chip with minor algorithms, the hard part would be figuring out how to have the ammo switch around inside. Perhaps change the bullet top on the casing.....not sure but I know I can figure it out."
She looked over her shoulder at him. "And Adam...your a guest not a prisoner. Though I guess with all the security it may feel like it. You can definitely leave if you wish to go do something. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. My power armor is hidden inside the wall over there as well, all I have to do is slip it on." She grinned at him, their faces practically nose to nose with him hovering over her shoulder like that.

Adam's eyes are wide as he listens to her speak about what he could do to his gun. He nodded when asked if he saw the dredd movie and flushed a deep red when she turned her head. He backs up and starts to pace. "Hmm... let me rephrase this... What do I owe you for the gun work?... AND... What would you say about goin' out to dinner?.... with me... I mean.. you said you don't get out much and well.... I would look up where to eat... you could work on that... and when you got hungry we could head out if you wanted to take a break...." He continues to pace as he talks with his hands motioning back and forth. "IF you want...."
He stops pacing as he looks at her, one arm folded against his chest, the other resting his elbow in his palm. "I'm askin' you out to dinner... We could eat and talk... Tonight... sometime..." he shakes his head. "Not now... it's barely even lunch...." He starts to pace once more as his brain rattles off ideas. "That would give me time to wash up and find nice cloths..." he mainly spoke to himself until he stopped and looked at her "Oh wait!... is it all right if I use your shower? I don't mind the cameras." He pointed to her and smirked a little bit.
