@theserpentsjester [but it's reese]
Anyone named Reese - according to her - was now haunted by the Reese's Puffs commercial rap song. They would never know true rest of whether or not someone or anyone wasn't playing that song in their head as elevator music while midst conversation with them.
Was it pity? Yes. Was it funny? Also yes.
This was the dilemma the Vigilante was currently faced when she shook their hand. Her eyes wandered over them and her mind sent without a hint of mercy to her:
Eat 'em up, eat 'em up, eat 'em up, eat 'em up!
"Nice to meet you, I'm the Vigilante. Just the Vigilante or Vigil for short." It took a lot of restraint not to sigh at that singsong thought.

His Boston-Irish accent came thick, especially around. Reese looked at the little tics of hers--it was his things. The details. Whether it was cars or women or life. It was all in the details. “Bull--shite.”He replied. As his shirt hiked up at his hip line down to his crotch as he dropped his shirt. Reese walked over to her as he dug around in his pockets as he took out a card, smudged a bit by the grease stain of his thumb print. The card was of his garage, with his logo of a little mechanic holding a wrench with a thumbs up on the side. It didn’t look crazy expensive but far from cheap as well. “If yeh don’t got much. Come on ovah m’shop. I think ya’d be perfect if ya lookin’ for some extra cash. I always could use a hand.” he replies before he tilted his head for her to follow him towards his car.
A slight furrowed brow appeared along her face when he said that, opening her mouth to ask only to clamp shut when he got closer to give his business card to her. A simpered smile showed while she took the card between two fingers, glancing between the card design and him.
No, she needed to leave.
Yet, she followed him to where his car happened to be. Fidgeting fingers over the car had to stay by her side - now folded into her arms instead while that free hand fiddled with the card. "And if I'm not looking for extra cash?" She asked then, briefly looking back as if the owner of the car he was showing were to suddenly appear and swat her away like a gnat.
Though, she wasn't aware just how suggestive that phrasing had sounded.

Despite Reese cleaning his hands, his oil and dirt-smudged thumbprint was still on hit. He looked into her eyes with a smile. He couldn't help but be enamored. As he led her over to the car he noticed her looking at it and couldn't help but notice she was a car girl. When she spoke out to him and asked her question, he gave a little chuckle and replied with, "Then you can come--anytime you like." He replies with a mix of flirtation and honesty. He even added a little wink before he moved onto another care. "Would you like to see one of our project cars?" He asked
The Vigilante grins, her eyes shifting from the car to him again. All she had to do was maintain eye contact, though the wink and his words did the extraterrestrial no favors.
At his offer, she almost shook her head no. Almost being the key word here. Her mouth on the hand heard 'project cars' and found herself saying, "Oh, yes, please lead the way."
She fiddled with the card more, flipping it between her fingers.

Reese liked her already. He could tell she was like him, wanting to get in to the guts of a car. The pure nuts and bolts of a car, pushing it to it's limits after. Her eyes alone told him as much. When he got to the lifter, the raised platform to get into the under carriage. The car was a 87' Shelby Mustang modified. The body was the same but changed to be more arrow dynamic. The undercarriage , parts were all new and modern. The body was a 87 Shelby Mustang with upgraded reinforced suspension frame to hold the V12 turbo engine. The engine stuck out a little out of the hood but it was by design for air flow. The stripes down the back were black and white Checkered with on the side it had it's name, "The Demon." in black with a white outline and a grown Imp holding the sign. IT also held below it and various parts of the car (tastefully of course) it was the Name of Reese's shop. He pushed the button to lower it and disengage the wheel locks locks. He reached for the keys on the tool cart. He smirks as he tilts his head and calls out to one of his men. "Tito! I'll be right back, hold it down!" He says as he unlocks the car. The interior was clean with black and red with white trim racing seats that were too damn comfortable. As soon as he starts the car the rev as it starts to life shook the air and space around them and the rumble shook to every part of the body. It was clear these boys raced.
The Vigilante smiled brightly at the sight of the car, tucking the card in the front pocket of her overalls. She looked under it briefly, seeing the aerodynamic design and almost clocking it immediately it was made for racing. Not formula one racing - too wide of a build for formula one racing - but street racing.
She walked around the car once it was lowered for her do so, touching briefly at the paint job design. As if it was a work of art that she was informed to not touch. Her hearing him getting in the car only registered when she walked to the front of the exposed engine that was usually designed to cool it off faster.
The roar of the engine usually tends to rock to her core. In the past, she had raced with a eight wheeler trucks so, engine roars from cars and bikes seemed to pale in comparison. Especially when 'souped up'. Still it made her feel at home - well, if home was an auto shop and not a sentient timeship.
When he got inside, she followed, sitting in the passenger seat and looking around. Her automatically puts a seat belt on. Her now trying to find her words. "She's breathtakingly beautiful. How fast does she go on wet days?"
Dry days made more sense to ask, but this was an open engine design. The worry of water exposure was something to ask - quicker to rust and more problems later down the line. There wasn't doubt it could be fixed, it just came down to longevity.

"Just as fast. Even though it looks over exposed, it's properly sealed. intakes, and overall design. " He says, Irish accent quickly behind alongside the Boston. He then quickly revved the engine a few more times before he rushed to squeel out of the garage ones the garage bay was open and immediately scream down the widened alley away of other industries stores, shops and all. He peeled into a sharp but controlled turn on to the street as he did effortlessly. The engine rumbling as if breathing and coming alive as the wind flows.
