He looked the same. More tired, maybe, a little more worn around the edges. It had been maybe a year, a little more since she’d last seen him. Those freckles, that chipped piece of his ear.

For a second, she was back on a stool at The Grinder, watching him sketch out some tech on a napkin, dunk and giggly while he tried to explain to her his current issue.

“Robbie?”

“Jesus—Emma.”

He sounded—he sounded fucking wrecked. Her eyes were immediately wet.

Before she could even breathe, his arms were around her, slamming into her so hard and fast they stumbled back a few steps, tripping over each other before finding their footing.

“I thought you were dead,” he gasped. “Emma, I thought you were dead.”

After getting kidnapped by Shroud's people and forced to design the augments for them, Emma really thought she'd end up in a shallow grave or at the bottom of the harbor. Instead, Mecha Man kills Shroud, the minions scatter, Emma's rescued by Blonde Blazer, of all people, and she's given an opportunity to gear up the great heroes of SDN's Torrence branch.

Her goal? Keep her head down, try not to do anything to piss her bosses off, keep it on the down low that most of her augments are what caused pain and destruction for these people and countless others across the city.

The catch? She runs into a friend from the past at the office, a guy she used to give gearing advice to over games of pool and tequila shots. And Robbie is kind of a big shot around here.

“Dai and Suga go on date (facts game)” WHAT IS THAT????
