With a kick to the face, Maria woke up the guy who was supposed to be her brother. He was sitting on a bench at the shadow of a tree, and, originally, sleeping. How could someone sleep with such a radiant sun was beyond Leo, but he had to admit that they did chose a nice, cozy place at the park.
"What the FUCK is wrong with you?!" From anger, the guy's face inmediately switched to one of surprise, the moment he saw Leo. "...You... did get the guy"
"Of course I did! And not thanks to you! Now move your ass out of the middle of the bench"
Without giving him any time to react, Maria did it herself by sitting there and kicking her brother to the side. And with a grin so big all her monster-like teeth could be seen, she signed Leo to sit at her other side. He did it without saying anything.
"So, this lazy guy right here is Jerry, my dumbass brother" She turned to face Jerry. "And this other guy here is Leonardo. You better treat him well"
An almost inaudible "hi" was Leo's response. Jerry didn't say anything, still surprised by the sudden interruption, given his face.
"Ehm...", said Leo, getting Maria's attention. "You got me... for what, exactly?"
"To help you of course! You seemed so lost and confused and–"
"For what, exactly?", Leo repeated himself.
Maria's smile slipped away. "Look, we got some problems, and we need a prime to help us, You are a prime, so I suppose that we could help each other, you know? I teach you and help you about your situation, and you do us a favor. What do you say?"
"I think you just ruined everything"
Maria hitted Jerry with her elbow.
"What's a prime? Why do you need me?" Did they know about his powers? There were plenty of people out there behind his eyes, or at least that was his situation back home. The last thing he needed was to get kidnapped (again) in a place he didn't know anything about, and without being able to count on his friends.
"Primes are super-people summoned by Omni. They have superpowers and are overall awesome, even if their superpower is "using a gun REALLY well". We are secondaries – people summoned by primes. We don't have awesome powers, and most primes can kick our asses by looking at us funny. We got a problem where a bunch of people is angry at us, and we don't have the weaponry to defend ourselves, so I might risk befriending a prime over getting fucked because Jerry is such a stupid moron to get on the bad side of scary guys. That's it"
That was... a very straightforward answer. He had to give her bonus points for honesty at least.
"Well... That sounds like a good reasson to seek help, I must admit. But... can't you just ask the police?"
"NO" Jerry's yelling atracted the eyes of some people walking by. Once they continued their own business, he clarified: "Ejem... No"
Ah, illegal stuff. Makes sense.
"So, will you help us? Please? I'll do anything you want!". Maria was doing the puppy eyes to Leo. Damn it.
"Maria, never offer that to a guy you just met"
"I know what you're thinking", say Leo. "But no, I won't do that. Don't worry" Jeez!
Maria kept looking at him.
"Look! I know this seems like pretty heavy stuff, and I understand why you may be doing this, but I'm not sure if I could really help you"
"Come on, you guys can make money out of thin air. That'll be enough"
"How much do you owe them?"
Maria sat up. "Why don't we takes this conversation somewhere else?"
Leo shifted his view to the people passing by. In the distance, he could see some of the guards talking to each other, while looking at Leo and the siblings.
"Like... the library?"
"No!"
Leo giggled at her responsed. Jerry just looked at them, once again, confused.
With that, the three of them left the cozy bench at the park. They didn't seem to be bad people, and Leo could relate to their problem (somewhat...), so he decided to go with them. If what they were saying was true, that they needed a "prime", and that he was one those, then it couldn't be that hard, could it? And, in any case, he was a Libra member: these are the exact kind of problems that they deal with. And Leo should be able to help! Even if his powers weren't suited for physical confrontations.
He'll think of something.
