Shadows of the Nexus [Open]

[Ash Williams]

Ash was startled by the hooded woman's question and made him drop the tire iron that made a loud dinging noise from the metal object hitting the Nexus's smooth surface.

"J-Jesus!" Ash stammered a little with his head turning around fast to see the secondary that just spawned.

The helghan hybrid backed up a little away from Ash while her mind raced with possibilities that he may be hostile.

"My bad about my answer, I was focusing on trying to get this wheel changed. Sure, if you want to. I won't bite," Ash apologized and granted that he didn't mind having some aid in this task.

He paid attention to her appearance and figured that she may be been here before since she does remind him on the attire of some people back in Coruscant. She walked up to him and kneeled next to him on the opposite side of the wheel. Ash grabbed the tire iron off the ground and started to take the lug nuts off. She was silent around him and didn't really say a word since she asked if he needed help. The evil dead slayer thought that it would be less awkward he started a small talk with her.

"So… what verse did you come from?" Ash started as he took the wheel off and handed to her so that it could be placed out of the way.

"Verse? I come from Vekta," Echo answered while setting the flat tire on the ground away from them.

"Ah, so you're new here," Ash replied while getting the new wheel ready to put the lug nuts back on with the tire iron.

"I'm still confused about what is going on here and why I'm brought here. What's even happening? Is this real?" Echo said with her mind baffled on why she was brought to this strange place.

"Ok sweet cheeks just remember if you had a talk with this Omni guy before you were here," Ash tried to calm her down from this situation that's hard to take in.

"No, I don't remember someone called Omni," Echo responded with calmness in her voice as she watched Ash tightening the lug nuts on the new wheel, one at a time.

"And my name is not sweet cheeks, call me Echo," Echo introduced her name to Ash with a little annoyance in her voice, so he wouldn't call her that anymore.

"Alright Echo, you must've been summoned as a secondary from a prime," Ash explained to Echo as he finished putting on the remaining lug nuts.

Echo knew it was Lucas all along who summon her, and she was determined to find him some time here in the Omniverse. She was thinking since they were in this plain whiteness world, it should be easy to find him.

"It's Lucas. He summoned me here, I know it would be him. We need to find him now," Echo ordered as she stood up as Ash finished mounting the new wheel on the Oldsmobile.

"Hold up for a moment, finding him is like playing Where's Waldo here. The Omniverse is way complex then you think it is. He could blend in easy from all the many primes that settle here and your talking to one right about now." Ash said in a charismatic way to win the heart of the Vektan hybrid soldier which she ignored his charm to focus on an important goal.

"By the way, what's your name?" Echo questioned about the Darkshire Defender's identity that introduced her to this new world.

"The name is Ash; Ashley Williams and I've been here for a while now," Ash answered while laying on the ground to drop the car down with the jack as he held the handle to position it that the jack would make the car descend to the ground.

Once the car was on all four wheels, Ash rolled the Jack from under the car and picked it up while holding the tire iron. Echo helped him lift it up in his hand and as he stood, Ash walked toward the back of the car to put the tools away in the trunk.

"Well Ash, I would be pleased if you help me find him," Echo asked as she followed Ash while he walked to the trunk to put the tire iron back up.

"I wouldn't mind helping a pretty face like yours since it's wrong to do so," Ash responded with that charm of his again as he put the tire iron and the jack back in the trunk but what he said to her, made Echo rolled her eyes.

Ash wasn't really her type, but she knew it would be a slim chance to find another person out here in this empty white world to help her out if she thought about ditching him.

"Oh, I see. You two have a thing going on with each other." Ash realized as he chuckled a little from his remark while slamming the trunk shut that locked.

"N-no we do not! Were just allies." Echo replied with a little nervousness about Ash thinking they were in a loving relationship.

"Okay, I get it. Well, the Oldsmobile is ready to rock and roll so your welcome to catch a ride. I'm heading back to the Pale Moors which is a verse that doesn't fit most people's type from the dreary weather and horrible monsters. If you insist going somewhere else instead, I don't mind giving you a ride. So, what will it be?" Ash mentioned about the car being ready but questioned if Echo still wanted to go where he was heading to while leaning his hip against the driver's front door with his arms crossed, facing Echo as she faced back at him.
