| They said this was a city for our kind, they said it was a safe haven from the rest of the world. This was suppose to be the city where we where safe from regular humans. But, in a city where Meta-Humans run rampant, is there such thing as safety? When taking what you want is as simple as waving your hand, or closing your eyes, how can there be law? In this city, the truth is there is only one source of law, and that are the different criminal organizations that have formed all around us. The only order is that of the darkest part of humanity, of criminal organizations where the strong thrive while the weak gasp for air. This is Niwa Nights.. This is our home. Can you survive it?

Zane had walked from his place to the boardwalk. He lived close by so there was no point in taking his motorcycle, and he felt like stretching his legs. He took a drag of his cigarette and blew the smoke straight up over his head, adjusting the motorcycle goggles on his forehead. Indeed he had left his bike at home, but he still wore the goggles. He didn't feel right without them on. As he walked along the boardwalk his stomach started to rumble. He looked around for any good restaurants he could eat at. Of course the boardwalk had all kinds of restaurants. It was just a matter of what Zane was in the mood for. Something distracted him from his search of cuisine. A car driving, or rather bouncing down the road. Something was clearly seriously wrong with the vehicle. Zane only hoped that the driver would be smart enough to pull over. The car drove slowly, so it was holding up the traffic behind it. Zane gestured to an empty parking spot close to him, hoping that the driver would notice and take the hint. He could then offer his assistance in fixing the car, or at least mending it enough for the owner to drive it to a repair shop. He took another drag of his smoke as he waited for the driver to either continue bouncing down the road, or grab the parking space he had gestured towards. The car was drawing the attention of everyone walking along the boardwalk. How could it not with all the noises it was making? Zane wondered what the hell had been done to royally screw up the vehicle like that. It sounded like there was a bag of cats living under the hood. Smoke started to rise from the hood, indicating that the engine was overheating. Zane frowned. The car didn't seem worth saving. Sure, he was good with repairs, but he was no miracle worker. Still, he would see what he could do. The driver seemed to have noticed him, as the car did indeed pull over in the space he had suggested. He sighed with relief and approached the car. The traffic returned to its normal pace. Zane waited for the driver to roll down the window so he could talk to him. When the window did roll down he noticed that it was a young girl. He almost rolled his eyes. Typical. Of course it was a girl that messed the car up so bad. She'd probably neglected basic maintenance like changing the oil for who knows how long. Still, he put on his nice-guy smile as he looked at her. "Car trouble?" |

"That does sound pretty good. So you'll obviously need some chicken and rice. I'm assuming some spices and such. He pushed the cart in front of him as he headed for the aisle that contained rice. He grabbed a box and placed it in the cart. He figured he might as well grab some things for himself since they were here. He grabbed a few microwaveable meals, some instant noodle cups, a few bottles of water, and a carton of cigarettes. He also grabbed 3 bottles of lighter fuel for his zippo. When they got to the chicken he made sure to pick out the freshest pieces, and put them in the cart as well. "So how many people are you cooking for? Is it going to be a big feast?" Since she said it would be a huge meal, he assumed that she would have some friends or family over to remember her grandmother. |

Alix looked at him and nodded slowly. She was going to need some special spices for the chicken. She smiled, happily that she had someone to shop with for once. Since she lives on her own and doesn't associate with many people it was kind of weird but she liked it but she knew she couldn't get used to it. "Yes, I am going to need some spices. I like Ill need some garlic and some others. Ill get those..." She headed off to get the the spices and few more items. She brought it back and placed them in the cart. She smiled and looked at him. He asked how many people were going. That is funny. She always ate alone. She has never had anyone inside the apartment since her grandmothers death. She looked at him and chuckled. "Oh no, Zane. Like I said before. I keep to myself. I don't get close to people around this time of year. It wouldn't be good. I.." She realized she was rambling on and on and she shut up. She smiled and had a pink tint to her cheeks. She is like any other girl. Once she starts talking she cant stop. She hasn't had that happen since high school though. |

When she said she would be alone for dinner, Zane pouted. She looked like she could really use some friends, and Zane was unable to accept that she really wanted to be alone. "That won't do at all. If you want I can come over with my gi- ...friend, and we can all enjoy a meal together. I'm sure she would love to taste your cooking, and I would too." He had almost referred to Maho as his girlfriend. Not that it was a crime, but it still wasn't confirmed what they were a couple. He was sure that if he asked, Maho would be happy to come and spend the evening with them. "I can call her tonight and invite her, and we'll even bring a bottle of wine, or something that will go well with the food. Maybe white wine, since it's chicken. Please say yes, I think it'll be good for you to have other people around you. |

He wanted to come to dinner. He wanted to bring someone with him. Why? He didnt know who she was. She could be a killer. She didn't know if she wanted to invite anyone over. It would have been odd. She wouldn't know what to say, what to do. She was getting nervous. She bit her lip. "Zane, I'm not sure. It is kinda odd. I mean we just met. My place is a mess..." She was going to continue but he started to talk again. He seemed to really want be there for her for some reason. She didn't know what to say but she really didn't want to just say no. It would be rude. He said it would be good for her and she realized to make this work. "Okay, fine. You and your friend can come over for dinner. I guess its a way to thank you for helping me today. I mean I feel guilty for you paying for such a beat up thing so I feel its only fair to invite you." |

"I don't want you to feel like you have to invite us just because I fixed your car. Remember that I really wanted to fix your car and didn't mind paying for it one bit. I just think you need to come out of your shell a bit. I know it's really not my place to say it since I don't really know you, but I honestly think that it would be good for you to spend time with other people. In this city you never know who you can trust, but in some cases strangers are just friends you haven't met yet. I'm sure you and I can become good friends if you give me a chance to prove it." He smiled and grabbed a few sodas for himself to bring home. He didn't want to grab too much stuff for himself, as he knew he'd have to carry it home. It wasn't far though, and Zane was quite strong, so it wasn't really a problem. The hotel elevator required a password to go to the top floor, as he owned the entire top floor penthouse for himself, so it brought him right into his lobby. No staircase required. "So, was there anything else you needed from the grocery store?" |

Zane started to talk to her about coming out of her shell. Maybe he was right. It can't be healthy for her to keep to herself. But that was all she knew. She never really let anyone in, except for high school. She didn't really know how to let anyone in. Her whole life she only to 3 people she could talk to about anything. Just three people. Was it really all that bad to let people in? She didn't know. Was she really going to try to find out after she just met this guy? She needed to think on that. She isn't to fond of trusting people she just met. never really learned how to trust fully and she didn't know what to say or what to do. It was going to be a long night and it would be good if she spent if with some people but was she really ready for that? Alix sighed and nodded. "Okay, maybe you are right. Maybe I could use some time with people. Its just been so long since I spent some time with people. I mean, I go out with a few friends but its more like I'm the driver while everyone is drinking and no, I don't use my own car. But like I said, I'm not used to it. I haven't opened up to anyone since, I have no idea, junior year in high school. It's just been a while. I spend most of my time talking to cats....I'm just kidding." She chuckled and looked down and sighed. She needed to open up more, even a complete stranger she just met today told her. She let out a long sigh and nodded. She was going to start opening up. She nodded and headed towards the check out counter to check things out and head out. |

Zane smiled. He was glad that she accepted to have him over. He felt like they could become good friends if Alix started to trust him. He knew that Maho would get along with her. She seemed to be able to get along with anyone. When they had found everything Alix needed for her meal, Zane pushed the cart to the registers. He separated his items from hers, not wanting to offend her by paying for her again. He paid for his stuff and put it in two bags, distributing the weight evenly as he would have to hold one bag in each hand. The clerk worked fast, and before they knew it he had already rounded up her items and bagged them as well. He turned to Alix with a smile and told her how much it would be. Zane wondered if she had enough for the meal she was going to cook, but didn't ask since it would be clear soon enough anyway. She would either be able to pay or not. And if she were unable to pay, Zane would happily step in again. Maybe it wouldn't have to come to the though. He contemplated pulling out his phone and texting Maho about his dinner plans, but decided against it. He could always call her later. He knew that Alix still needed to get some things for her apartment, so their errand running wasn't quite over. It was still early so every shop on the boardwalk was open and buzzing with customers. He was sure they would get everything done before the stores closed. |

Alix heard the clerk tell her the price and she nodded. She pulled out her wallet and pulled out enough for the groceries. She handed the money over to the clerk and sighed putting the wallet back in her bag. She smiled lightly and thanked the clerk. She reached over and grabbed her bags heading for the door. She was really short on money but she wasn't worried about it. "Um, alright. Well I just got to go get some soap and that should be it." Alix headed for her car and sighed. She was so tired and she was so ready to go home and just eat. This meal was her favorite out of all others. She was an excellent cook so she spent her time cooking new things and her grandmother taught her how to make the chicken before she passed away so that was her absolute favorite meal. |

As they exited the grocery store Alix mentioned needing soap. Zane raised his eyebrows, as they had passed an aisle inside the store that had a ton of cleaning products, including dozens of different soaps. But maybe she needed a specific kind. Maybe she was allergic to normal soap or something. He didn't ask or question it, as it wasn't really his place. He was just her self-appointed escort for the day. He carried the bags for her and put them, along with his own, in the back seat of her car. The store she wanted to go to for soap might be close by, so he closed the door without entering the vehicle as they might be walking. "So, where do you go to get your soap?" As he looked around he couldn't help but smile when he saw all the shoppers. The street vendors were raking in business, selling ice cream, popcorn, hot dogs and anything else you could imagine to hungry passerby's. Zane usually wasn't one for large crowds, but the sun was up and most people seemed happy, so he liked what he saw. These people were lucky. Most of them didn't know what went on in Niwa during the night time. They probably all knew about the gangs, but he was sure that they didn't know exactly how bad the situation was. A few of them probably didn't even know that metas existed. Ah... Truly, ignorance is bliss. |

Alix looked at him and smiled lightly. She knew she could have bought soap inside but one she went to small vendor and an old lady was selling small soaps in shapes of different animals and objects. She likes the shapes. She has a collection of them. She doesn't use them, she just stumbled upon the stand and now she goes to the vendor and bought a new one. Alix motioned her head to a vendor not to far and smiled. "There is a lady there who sells small soaps in different shapes. Its kind of a hobby of mine. I know its dumb but well, it keeps me happy and it keeps me smiling at times to I go there all time to get new ones." Alix walked over and smiled. The old lady greeted her and pulled out a huge box. Alix suddenly started to search for some cool shapes. She pulled out multiple soaps and smelled them. There was something about the soaps that made her feel like she was home again. She held up a soap of two hearts overlapping. She smiled brightly and nodded slowly. She had a glow to her face when she purchased the soap of the hearts. |
