Damian sighed as he stood on his apartment balcony, the digital jungle below pulsing with energy. He smirked, seeing some police cars trying to surround an apartment block, one of the Lost was probably making a bit of a nuisance. "Probably Dian." He mumbled, walking back into the kitchen to make a mug of coffee when he noticed something off. He silently drew his XDS-45, a large, intimidation weapon that could easily make its threats become very real dangers, and stalked into the kitchen.
The screen door had been closed when he went to watch over the morning city but it was wide open after he had turned around. He remained silent, waiting for his would-be assassin to make a move.

Skyler held in his place, knowing Damian was waiting, waiting for him to slip up, he did himself no favors by making noise to attract his attention. But it wasn't his fault that he was never one to do much. He never went out into another building other than the one he called his home. But, something sparked in his mind prompting him to leave the building and do something, and this what he chose.

Damian looked around carefully, having been in the business for a while, he knew that enemy assassins were capable of using cloaking devices. He produced a suppressor from his coat and screwed it onto the pistol, mostly to protect his hearing than anything else. Damian rolled a flashbang behind him as he slid the door shut and exited the kitchen, the loud bang and flash crashing any sense of hearing or sight from inside the kitchen. Damian was behind the drywall part of the door, sliding it open the second after the flash went off, gun at the ready.

Damian was behind the drywall part of the door, sliding it open the second after the flash went off, gun at the ready. Skyler groaned as the flashbang went off, causing him to nearly go blind as he attempted at the mere second to run to new cover, only to have himself blinded by a sudden and intense flash of light that caused him to scurry back to his old cover as he wasn't fully aware of Damian's location at the time, worried he'd get shot. He hid behind the wall, keeping himself stable as he held his weapon firmly in his grip. "Damn . . ." he muttered out, not saying much more.

Damian kept his finger off the trigger, moving across the kitchen and placing a primed smoke grenade on the dining table, filling the room with a choking smoke as he opened the screen door out to the balcony to lure the assassin out. His silent movement made it seem like he didn't actually go anywhere during this.

His silent movement made it seem like he didn't actually go anywhere during this. Skyler laughed quietly. "Not falling for that . . ." he muttered to himself as he ran to new cover finally recovering form the flashbang, he hid just in front of the balcony door, but he was not close enough, or rather not stupid enough to fire his weapon, he looked down, realizing all he truly had was a simple handgun, and from his understanding, Damian has a more powerful gun than his. Skyler still held it tightly though, keeping his finger away from the trigger as he snuck his head, just enough that his light grayish blue eyes could see Damian.

Damian was no longer anywhere on the balcony for when he realized that he never closed the living room's screen door and went inside to shut it silently, he also realized that he could take cover under the table, unable to accurately pinpoint his assassin's location nor the other way around. When the smoke cleared, he felt a sense of relief and dread when he saw Skyler leaning against the screen door to the balcony, remaining dead silent as he took aim with his suppressed handgun.

Skyler felt the realization poke at him as he noticed Damian . . . taking aim. As simple as that he dropped his gun and pressed his hands against his chest and sighed. "Go on . . ." he said in a deadpan tone as he didn't show any mind in moving. "Shoot me . . ." he smirked, holding his hands in the air. He gulped and looked down at the gun, he hoped he had time to do this.

Damian smiled, changing targets and shooting the pistol, destroying the handgun and sending it skittering off the balcony before snapping back onto Skyler. "You think I'm an amature, huh?" Damian smirked, getting up while having his weapon trained on the assassin's head. His weapon was pretty quiet for such a high caliber, though .45 was known to be intrinsically suppressible. "Who are you?" He asked in a commanding tone, glaring daggers at Skyler and keeping his distance a little.

"M-My name is Skyler . . ." he said, hoping he wouldn't die if he told him his name. He didn't say much for a few seconds. "If you're going to shoot me, make it quick . . ." he said with a sigh as he spread his arms to show no intent to run nor fight him.

Damian shook his head, grabbing the boy by the neck and sending a small jolt through him. His arm had been lost in the Digitax Corporate Conflict, the same one that caused the entire world to be reformed by corporations, hence his ability to sense, track and check for data inside these kinds of assassins. "You're clean of any da- neural bomb." Damian said as his arm lit up, tightening his grip. "Don't move." He added as he focused on the boy, defusing the failsafe device in the would-be assassin's head. A minute of silence later, Damian set Skyler down on a chair, shut both screen doors and scanned the room. "What's your business here?" He asked, sitting on another chair opposite Skyler.

Skyler wasn't fully sure to himself why he felt like coming to this building in particular. With that in mind he bit his lip unsure if he was just leading him on and he'd shoot him in the back later. "I don't know, actually . . ." he shrugged. "I just felt like coming here, holding a gun, and trying to kill someone."

Damian nodded slightly, looking around again. His handgun had somehow disappeared though he was still poised to be armed at any moment. "So, you're a young guy some corp pig kidnapped, huh? Neural bombs aren't a fashion accessory, you know." He asked, knowing that some corporations would stoop that low simply to protect their bottom lines. "Can you remember anything?"

"I can't believe this happened.

Damian shook his head and made some coffee for himself and his guest, not wanting the kid to be too alienated, especially in this state. Most of the time, he seemed to be just another person in an office. However, he was a member of Unit Lost, an assassination unit sent to take care of business and eliminate more troublesome or ethically corrupt CEOs. "Drink up." He said, placing a mug in front of Skyler.

"So, how long have you been living here?" he inquired and looked at him and smiled faintly and stretched.

(Use the 'call' function by replacing the angled brackets with square brackets here: <quote author="@usernamehere"></quote>) "Fifteen years, give or take seven months." Damian said, sipping his drink casually. His eyes scanned the boy, noticing little nuances in the kid. "How old are you anyways? I don't think this was some kind of 'video game playtester' job interview gone wrong?" He chuckled darkly at the sinister undertone of his comment, knowing full well that this was also a corporate tactic.

Frankly, he wasn't much for being asked the question, but he answers it if asked to be polite. "I'll be eighteen in two months." He explained setting down his drink and sighing. (Like that? Probably not.)

"Ah, a youngling, eh?" Damian chuckled, being close to sixty, he still looked young due to modifications off the black market and whatnot. "Well, I suppose you don't need a job or something, hmm?" He asked, glancing at the boy. "You know, maybe a little headstart pocket money? Send some back to your folks? If you've got the guts, I've got a job for you." He added, offering his hand for a handshake in this deal.

"Yeah . . . no, I'm NOT sending money to my parents," he crossed his arms and leaned to the wall to his side. He grabbed his coffee mug and sipped it. "I'm not a big fan of them, and same with them."

Damian nodded knowingly. "Okay, but still. You could get some pocket money for... stuff. I hear the new holovids are pretty good nowadays with those new... directors." He fumbled a little, his job took so much time from his life that he had extended his lifespan to simply do his job some more as it was the only thing he could do. His hand was still out, waiting to be shaken if Skyler did want in on the deal.

"But, they are mostly just the same things as vintage holovids, but I actually collect things . . ." he said, pulling out a small gun from his messenger bag, the gun could fit in his palm. "Anything that's over three years old I tend to collect." He said brushing a hand against the wall.

Skyler tilted his head, stretching lightly as he was a little tired, nothing more than the usual tired feeling many get in the middle of the day. "What do you mean?" he said looking over to Damian, unsure what he meant by what he said.

(Yay!) "My offer, kiddo. Work for us and we'll find the asshole who did that to you. Maybe let you get him yourself." Damian said, nodding at the boy and glancing at his hand. "Even if you don't, you could get away with the fuzzy feeling that you're helping people out. Whaddya say?" He added.

"So is that a deal or not, kid?" Damian asked, still calm but with a small amount of irritation building in his voice from holding his mechanical hand up like that for a while.

Damian lowered his hand, sighing a little as the boy seemed pretty daft. "Well, for one, I'll need someone to round up the last of the Lost Elite. We've gone underground figuratively, with two of them literally." He sighed, still a little irritated by the boy being a little bit of an idiot, apparently. "Either that or we could get you some proper training. Stealth is one of Control's strong suits and I hear she's still got her touch." He mentioned.

Skyler rubbed the back of his head. I think he thinks I'm an idiot. He thought to himself as he crosses his arms. "Admittedly, I'd need some training to say the least."
(Oops.)
