Cherreads

Chapter 10 - Armory

After they bid Goodnight to each before heading to their respective rooms, the pair conclude that they have had enough shocks for today and decide to rest.

Soon morning comes ,

And the two while making breakfast converse about Leon's story abit more___

So yeah , My earth name and saiyan are different just like yours Rachel.

Hmmm... What is your saiyan name tho?

I told you mine yesterday but you never told me yours, Well apologies Rae it left my mind completely since I don't use it so much but we do have a lot similar ya know?

My Saiyan name's Rayleigh we don't use surnames back there apparently.

Raven: Oh... So we're the team of R&R, hmmm... I don't dislike the sound of that.

Leon: Well you can use but just like you i prefer Leon more sounds cooler.

Raven: I think Rayleigh sounds better.

Leon: Woman you lack taste.

Raven:...

Righhhhtttt, taste. Anyways what's down in the basement I've seen the rest of the house but the basement's usually locked so I've never seen what's there.

Leon: Oh that ? That's my Forge.

Raven: Forge? So you make weapons there ?

Leon: Well... Yeah like you've seen my sword before i made it myself using titanium alloy mixed with metal. It's easier to make my own than comission it, being a minor really has it's downsides sigh...

Raven: Hmm...

Leon: Anyways lemme finish making breakfast I'll show you round the basement after we eat something.

Raven: Sure , thanks.

*After breakfast*

While walking down the steps to the basement Raven can't help but think this looks really cool as the basement itself looks dark but the fire from the furnace acts as a light source making everything yellow and aesthetically pleasing to the word *Forge*.

Noticing The huge anvil and spare swords of different sizes laid down on a rack, along with some spears and daggers of all shapes and sizes.

Raven: * whistles * Pretty nice place you got here, Looks mythical to say the least.

Leon: Thanks ever since i started learning swordmanship I've been practicing forging at the same time, it's everymans dream to be able to forge his own sword so I thought I'd do it you know ?.

Raven: I see....

*She turns to gaze at the back of his head *

Leon ... Why do you go around at night acting as a vigilante? I thought you hated superheros .

Leon: Well ... * I scratch the back of my head while turning to face her* like i said before I may hate the moniker but the actions of the job give me some type of peace and it also helps me train and get experience, Living in this chaotic world of ours it's only a matter of time before something bad happens then all goes to shit at that time I don't want regrets that I could've saved people close to me if only I had been stronger.

But don't get me wrong, I also know that though getting stronger is necessary the people closest to me are more important than that because it's easy to lose something's when you only focus on one goal time management is key basically, what I mean to convey.

Raven: You've thought this through alot haven't you? Isn't it fine as long as the justice league is still here?

Leon: Heh... Then tell me why didn't you go ask them for help first ? Don't you think that the justice league is Earth's greatest defence ? The Good guys ? Why were you all alone before i met you?

Raven:... * Looks down at the floor while grabbing at her hoodie*

It's because we know there are something's even the Justice league can't handle or that they might not even help us instead attack us or put us in lockdown.

Raven: At that time I was full of grief and I didn't want to hurt anyone else, and... I thought they would like you said put me in a cell.

Leon: *Chuckles* And that was a good decision at the moment since knowing you, you would've blabbed about the whole ordeal to them in desperation only for them to put you in surveillance and well let's just say Batman isn't known to be very trusting or compassionate.

I don't mean to badmouth the Justice league it's just that I know how hard it is trust somebody for people like us, and you were scared of rejection so it's inevitable that you didn't go to them you're pretty stubborn you know that ?Rae.

Raven : If-if we can't beat Trigon, do you think we should ask their help?

Leon: Maybe ... Maybe not... Like i said I'll share this responsibility with you Raven, so whether anyone helps us or not doesnt matter I'll be there for you as a friend.

Raven Smiles alittle at that sentence lifting her spirits up abit.

Leon: And besides, You've told me plenty of how strong Trigon is and how terrifying. If we do tell the Superheroes right now it still wouldn't matter as there's no signs of intrusion into our right now right ?

Raven nods___ Yes I don't feel his dark energy seeping into our world so he's not upon us right now.

Leon: If we do tell the league we can kiss our freedom goodbye, and I love freedom so let's take our time and train in peace.

Raven: I suppose .. you're right I also do not like the feeling of being watched over.

And I can feel myself getting stronger mentally and spiritually near you.

Leon: Hmm? What do you mean by that ?

Raven: You use Kí as your major source of power unlike me who uses magic and Kí is basically the world's energy or something akin to Chí, So, the demonic side of me that tries to take over my body is getting weaker in your presence while my Human side gets empowered instead letting me stay in control.

I do not know myself why it is like that but I can only assume that since your whole body radiates Kí natural energy it's acting as an calming agent for me.

Leon: Hmmmmmmm..... That's interesting so basically you mean it's like staying near something holy ?

Raven: Not exactly as it would be too aggresive and damaging to my demonic if it was holy power.

Leon: I see , so my Kí is acting as a middle ground between Evil energy and Holy energy instead of damaging or strengthning your demonic side it's helping both sides reach a state of equilibrium?

Raven: *Nods* I think that is somewhat what's happening here as I feel unusually calm and relaxed around you since the moment we met I've felt that energy, it's partly why I opened upto you so easily.

Leon: Heh... Don't lie you fell for my charming face and charismatic personality, Oh Rae, you shouldn't jest so much.

Raven rolls her eyes at Leon's behaviour before a small smile tugs at the corner of her mouth .
