into the woods without any red hoods

[Jack Darby]

"So let me get this straight,"  stated Rafael, trying to make heads or tails of the rhyming sequence of her words. "A bandit decided he wanted to rob you, you hit him, he tried to get you arrested, and Unicron saved you?" There was one good thing Rafael could think about Unicron at least. Unicron had done something that would have been useful for the both of them. Perhaps this individual knew more about the Omniverse than either of them did, and Rafael would welcome any and all help he could get in figuring this strange new world out. Rafael knew he was going to at some point have to repay the Chaos Bringer, but how could he do so? Perhaps if he were to get himself stronger, that would be sufficient payment. After all, they shared a body at present, though he wished they didn't. So if he got stronger, perhaps Unicron would be able to get more powerful as well, and handle the parts of the activities in the Omniverse Rafael detested. The fighting, to be exact. "My name is Rafael, and you are?" 

Rafael was curious about her. Unicron contacted him telepathically. 

You owe me kid.

I know. I'll pay you back soon, Unicron. I promise. 

Rafael then looked her over for a moment.  "How much do you know about this place?"
