#deadlock frankie

[wildissylupus]

Little Deadlock HC I have, Frankie and Sombra have a rivalry dating back to when Sombra went by Olivia and Cassidy was still in Deadlock.

------------------

*Frankie walking into the bar near one of Deadlocks hide outs, slams her laptop of a table getting Ashe and Cassidy's attention, then proceeds to grab her gun and a bat.* Frankie: Enough of this shit, we're killing Olivia! Ashe: Frankie... You can't kill her. Frankie: Oh? You don't think I can kill an ten year old? Well I will smash in her face. With a bat. Like a watermelon. Ashe: No, no, I believe you have the ability to kill her. What I'm saying is, if you do, you validate what everyone is saying about Olivia being your nemesis. Cassidy: Also you'd be a child killer, which some many argue is worse.

i think ashe is one of the most agonizing characters for me to think about because she’s just like me

her family is a shitshow. i’ve never seen people acknowledge that her parents were genuinely abusive past “ashe’s family sucks.”

neglect is abuse, manipulation is abuse, and it’s implied in a one-off that her mother threatens to hit her

so, long long ramble analysis of ashe’s parents

Graduation Day

ashe’s day starts well, excited to graduate, finally be out of a shitty school with shittier peers. her parents promised to be there, and they weren’t. this also isn’t the first time, according to ashe

she’s upset, she wants to be alone. unfortunately, being alone is what gets her into trouble

The Fight

so obviously a 17yo girl getting cornered by two teenage boys is definitely not a great situation, and the cops not believing ashe was defending herself baffles me

her parents have me even more confused. do you have so little care for your kid that you’re more worried about your image than your safety?

they tell her they’ll disown her, which is fucked. this is a threat, this is abuse

Calamity

when the original gang(tm) have her come up with a code name for their trip to cutthroat trout’s, ashe doesn’t think of a nickname or something badass, she thinks of her mother fussing at her over an accident

The House

this is the biggest piece to me.

ashe’s parents are home on her birthday, they’re angry, they’re either unaware of or unbothered by the fact a kid (cole) has been kidnapped off their property, they’re unbothered that their daughter was inside a burning building, they’re more bothered by their money being at risk

“Oh honestly, Elizabeth,” she said, sounding exasperated, “did you really believe we were going to disown you? Our only child?”

Ashe blinked at her parents, utterly bewildered.

“You were out of control,” her father continued. “You needed to be taught a lesson. Yes, it was a drastic step to make you think we were going to cut you off, but something needed to be done to convince you to clean up your act!”

The world seemed to warp around Ashe, twisting in some way she couldn’t comprehend. Were they telling the truth? Or was this simply a performance, a rewriting of the punishment they’d threatened, in order for her parents to save face in front of Bellerae’s police force?

Something needed to be done.

You needed to be taught a lesson.

to me, this implies that ashe’s parents rewrite their punishments frequently when it doesn’t go how they want to emotionally confuse her

Her mother looked surprised, but only for a moment. Then her eyes went hard. “You know, Elizabeth, I used to think you were misguided, a little too spirited for your own good. I thought having to confront the idea of being on your own would be to your benefit. But now I know better: At your core, you’re nothing more than a base, common criminal.”

“Strange,” said Ashe, glaring right back. “I would have thought that made me the perfect candidate to work with you and all those corporate buddies whose boots you line up to lick.”

Her mother’s hand flickered up, as if she was about to slap Ashe, but it stopped halfway. “Sheriff,” she called instead. “Get over here.”

wow! ok! even if she doesn’t actually hit her, its still wrong to threaten people (let alone your kids) with physical violence

The Aftermath (Part One)

Less than an hour later, she was free. And poor, once again. Her bail, covering the many crimes she was accused of, had been astronomical—taking almost everything there was in the gang’s shared account. That had left a feeling like a hole in her gut, but it was nothing compared to the one eating deeper and deeper as the minutes ticked by and the Diamondbacks still had [Cole]. And yet, she couldn’t help but reflect on how her parents’ interference had left her exactly where they had intended—eighteen, penniless, and without anywhere to call home.

But even if her blood relations had cast her aside, Ashe had found a new family to take their place.

And one of those people was in trouble.

ashe’s family isn’t blood anymore. her parents have hurt her over and over again for eighteen years, and to me i can interpret this of her being drained of every possible drop of love for her parents. they don’t seem to love her, why should she be obligated to love them? the gang treats her better, they respect her, they’re an emotionally stable environment.

The last few months had been the first time in years she’d been happy in this house. Now she was walking its halls for what was likely the final time.

The thought didn’t bother her half as much as she might have expected.

the house is devoid of ashe’s real family (the gang), making it worthless to her in the end.

Packing only some clothing and a few personal items. Everything else, she was happy to abandon. It wasn’t her, not anymore. In the end, the entirety of her life at Lead Rose Manor came to less than half a rucksack.

nothing in the manor mattered to her, i interpret this as her only things she brought was things she bought with her own money

If her parents had kept their promise, she never would have met [Cole], or Julian, or Frankie. And that opened a bigger hole in her than the thought of never seeing Lead Rose again.

This was no longer her home. Arbalest was no longer her company. And her parents were no longer her family.

<- refer to last excerpt’s comment

The Aftermath (Part Two)

right after ashe declares the gang is her only family, it’s revealed that julian is the one who betrayed her. obviously this is messed up, it’s upsetting, and she’s angry.

Frankie’s expression turned even stonier than when she’d looked at Julian. “I’m not saying I don’t understand, but … I’d never betray you—or Jesse, or even B.O.B.—like that. I thought you’d know that by now. But I’ll give you that one mistake.” She locked eyes with Ashe. “Next time you doubt me, I’m done. That’s not something I’ll forgive twice. Understood?”

to me this feels like ashe’s treatment in her childhood has altered her perception of others. her parenrs betrayed her and broke promises a lot, at least as far as we’re told. obviously ashe is quick to jump to conclusions, but luckily frankie is willing to give her a chance to learn not everyone is like that

But even though [Cole] was smiling, one of his eyes was nearly swelled shut, and there was dried blood on his chin from a split lip.

Ashe wheeled on Bez and shoved him into the wall of the cavern. “What did you do to him, you son of a—”

this isnt super important, to me it’s just ashe taking on the overprotective role her blood family never did for her

Seeing them now, gathered and wearing their new insignia for the first time, triggered a strange feeling, one that was so unfamiliar it took her a moment to identify it.

Home. This felt like home.

“But more than a gang,” she continued, “we’re a family. And like a real family, once you’re in Deadlock, you’re in it for life.”

ashe’s blood family is gone, but she has the gang now. maybe her methods are harsh, but she does it in a way they gives out the feeling of love and safety her parents never provided for her

The Aftermath (The Finale)

although we don’t see cole’s betrayal, to me it’s implied he was forced to cut contact with ashe. maybe it’s just a throw away line, but ashe remarks that cole promised he’s right, yet he never did. ~20 years with no contact doesn’t seem like something usual for cole, even if he was disagreeing with how deadlock was straying from its original path.

ashe had been stabbed in the back before, first her family, then julian. of course it hurt when she thought cole betrayed her, the first person to attempt to even understand her, the person she was willing to risk her life to save.

cole having contact with ashe probably wasn’t forcefully cut off, but he instead decided it was safer for her and the rest of the gang for him to not contact him, in preparation of his contact being tracked by overwatch to potentially do another operation on the deadlock gang

okay it’s 4:30am and i’ve been writing for 2hrs now and i’m done uhhh i would love any additional content and observations and analysis ^_^ i like seeing other people’s interpretations

*Ashe, Frankie, and Cole are playing poker. Cole is winning by a long shot because he knows how too play poker.* Ashe: *is beyond frustrated and throws her cards in anger* Aw, come on!!! Frankie: *swipes her her cards off the table*It’s not fair! Cole doesn't even know what we’re playing! Cole: *Clearly knows what they're playing but decided to be ass and tease them*Go Fish?

Overwatch 2: Invasion: Lore Compilation - Winston

Winston's lore drops definitely did not go in a way I expected. He seems to be chatting with three new (?) characters who refer themselves as white hat hackers, but weirdly, one is named Harold?? Like Dr. Winston?? I don't think it's him, but odd name to pick. "Dangercat" talks a little bit like Sombra, but as far as we know Sombra isn't married, lol....unless this is some big future lore drop 😆

Too bad they don't seem to be utilizing Frankie from Deadlock Rebels. Maybe there's a role for her in the story yet.

I think I speak for the entire fandom when I say "F off, United Nations" LOL. Like seriously, what are YOU guys doing to stop Null Sector?!

Also, I know one of the devs was really excited on Twitter a while back talking about Tracer's "blanket lore". I guess the big lore reveal was that Winston bought it for her. And also that she apparently uses a child-sized comforter, lol. Tbh this is a cute little extra. I'm always happy to have tidbits like this for the characters.

franky falls into the underground and toriel just lets him leave without even trying to make him stay because she does not want to deal with him. upon entering snowdin he ends up swapping places with papyrus because he decides to "fix" all the puzzles and makes them more dangerous (but ironically end up only harming him) and papyrus has to go through them and then when he gets to waterfall undyne is like "woah! anime REAL? why is your body made of metal" and he does not entirely befriend her but also does by nature of He Didn't Kill Anyone He's Just Kind Of Insufferable and is also reasonably friendly despite his abrasive-ass nature. and then he goes to hotland and thinks mettaton is fucking awesome while mettaton refuses to believe he is a human because This Guy Is Metal And That's Not Normal and then he has a funk-off with mettaton EX and a really really cool fight that ends with franky victorious but mettaton alive and the whole time alphys is just in fucking shock because that's Franky from One Piece. and he makes it all the way to new home and fights asgore and wins and watches with absolute aghast horror as flowey kills him and then he just goes all out on photoshop flowey until flowey reveals he knows abt the back weakness and just kills him over and over and over and over and then neutral ending happens. and franky is like "i oughtta kill you, you little squirt!" and then he stomps on flowey non-fatally because he is a one piece character (cmon you think i'd really let him kill flowey) and ends up warped back to before the asgore fight. and then he goes to the true lab and is like "yeaooow!!! these guys look like they could use some cola!" and bc the amalgamates are just like. regular people all merged together they're just like "yo thathanksnks mamnan man" and befriend him. and then he gets back to new home where he realizes he has a chance to stop things from progressing the way they did last time and responds by trying to talk down asgore this time (its hard because he's franky. but he's trying because this guy is basically like his sworn brother to him now. he doesn't want asgore to die) and ends up stalling long enough for everyone to come by. except because he is an insufferable lout who while well-meaning and overall benevolent, was also just too unpleasant for anyone to wanna befriend, literally no one comes by and they end up deadlocked in the throne room until the end of time because franky wont die and he wont kill asgore or let asgore kill himself and franky is too strong for flowey to intervene and no one wants to go to new home to help him so they're just there forever

Hi, I recently found the post you made awhile ago talking about Burns family ships while looking for Graham/Amy stuff, and you mentioned writing a fic set ten years after the show ends. I don't know how long ago that was, but would you mind sharing more about that fic, I'm personally very intrigued.

Ah yes! It might not be happening anymore, but here were some of my plans.

It would have been part of a crossover involving both Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. A lot of work had gone into setting up how DC, Marvel, and Star Wars coexist earlier in the series (that part I am still planning to write) before Transformers entered the picture (which probably won't happen anymore.)

The year is 2025. The Batmobile is a Decepticon OC of mine named LS. IDW based Drift is partnered with Nightwing. IDW based Red Alert is also partnered with Red Robin. TFP Soundwave is partners with Black Bat. Whirl Sr. and Harley Quinn are partners too.

The Coruscant Guard (who are alive after Order 66 due to some Marvel based shenanigans) have moved to Gotham and work with the GPD. Also, Mandalore has an embassy in Gotham because they think the city is neat. (It's trying to kill them, just like home!)

Chief Burns had grown up in Gotham. His mom had run away from home (Griffin Rock) for love, but her husband turned out to be a jerk and left her and the kids. She died from an illness, and Charlie joined a gang to put bread on the table. Charlie killed a man from a rival gang in self-defense at the young age of 16. Woodrow was worried for his bro, and in an age before Batman, reached out to my oc hero Foxglove. Foxglove in turn reached out to Jim Gordon's dad, who took in the two Burns boys.

After reconnecting with his grandfather and losing his wife to Crime Alley, Chief moved to Griffin Rock. But Dani, Kade, and Graham are old enough to remember and consider Gotham home.

Kade is also Babara Gordon's favorite cousin.

The year is 2025, and Babs is getting married to Dick Grayson. Kade thinks his cousin can do much better than that bimbo and is very vocal about it. Babs invites Kade to come and see why she's not settling.

Dani has also been dating a guy online named Thire, who works for the GPD. He's let her know he's got some "interesting life facts" he'd like to share in person, and she knows she'll have to tell him about Blades if things are going to get serious. But her Uncle Jim says Thire is a real good guy so she's not too worried.

The We Are Robin has also started and is not going away. They are joined by the Blanks, a group of anonymous young clones going behind their older brothers' backs to protect their new home in Gotham. Commissioner Gordon calls in Chief Burns to negotiate with the teens to find an agreement the adults can live with.

So this gets Chief, Dani, Kade, and Heatwave in Gotham for a visits.

Dani has a very fun date with Thire, who is a clone. Fox, Chief, and Gordon have way to much fun running into the couple and Fox gives Thire a hard time about it in a teasing way.

It is revealed Blades is like a dad to Drift, and Drift was like a dad to Wedge back when he was Deadlock. There is much angst as Drift frets about his past. It's a whole thing to convince him Blades will still love him. Blades and Wedge are both thrilled to be reunited with Drift.

Whirl Sr. and Whirl Jr. also have a wonderful reunion.

Kade learns he saved Ketsu Onyo once years ago and she finds that hot. He gets a date out of it. He can't help it her kid is adorable! (She was at the Embassy when Kade came to visit.)

Also, somehow, the Burns somehow get included in the "We know who Batman is" club.

As for more normal stuff? Cody and Frankie are married. So are Graham and Amy. Might be a few grandkids. Chief still hasn't managed to retire yet. Cody is a paramedic, but he feels his calling might not be in rescue work.

Yeah. So that's a bunch of thoughts I had. Here's a fic I wrote to lay the groundwork for some of it.

Strawhats playing Catan?

Oh you mean Nami and Usopp dominating the whole game? Sanji just gives everything to Robin and Nami but somehow manages to keep his ground (ahem)? Robin being responsible for 90% of thrown 7 therefore blocking the most crucial spots for Nami and Usopp? Luffy and Chopper playing as a team and depending on Robin to help them? Zoro ignoring them, but once he joins he's the best at blocking roads so no one can branch out their towns and grow. Franky being the leading merchant for starter materials so he can dictate the tempo of the game? Brook either forfeiting (if the game gets repetitive, tossing the same numbers, being in a deadlock when no one wants to trade anything, etc.) or losing pretty fast? Yeah.

is your muse a lucky person ? do things randomly tend to go their way without much effort, or do they have to work for bad luck ?

now, the cowboy wouldn't consider himself a lucky person; after all, survival has nothing to do with luck. It took skill, both active and passive, for him to reach where he is on the road. it took a lot of hard work, and a lot of playing his cards right. However considering the path with his life took to get where he is now, he would consider himself quite lucky in the way things did go wrong a lot of the time and he did suffer quite a bit he lost his family early on, had to work as a child in gruesome environments such as factories and farms; he broke away from the from the only people he ever called true friends. blackwatch was considered by many around him a true lucky point in his life. the fact it took him from a life of crime and immorality into something he could call noble. it doesn't end well, though, does it?

when was the moment in your muses life that they had to grow up, a situation where they just knew it was time for them to mature ? perhaps a traumatic event, maybe even an exciting one !

as the fourth child of a happy and stable family, cole was never expected to grow up so quickly; he could do things at his own time, at his own pace: he could fail and he could succeed and no matter what he would be loved by his parents and his siblings. The truck time That changed when his lands were stolen by omega corporation and his family was butchered in front of that night scarred him deeply; in the span of hours, he became an orphan, alone in the southwestern desert, having to fend for himself in the worst ways possible.

cole found work in places no child should be working [ not that any child should be working ]. his first job, at the pork factory, was especially traumatizing. this is where he had to process remains and discard entrails — living and breathing dead bodies cut open and disemboweled. for someone who grew up to that point respecting animal life [ the ranch was small, the livestock raised respectfully ]. the shock of saying those bodies in a similar manner to the ones of his family only added to the toll. from there the cowboy became more and more cynical and jaunted — less willing to trust people.

julian, someone who came to meet at the ace valentine megafarm was the exception, at least at first. they became inseparable friends and, eventually, each other's first love. Julian would eventually betray him to save his own neck from certain death. cole never forgave him. ashe would come a little later after julian, showing him that family is something you can choose. the three of them, alongside a hacker called frankie formed the deadlock rebels. It was a good time while it lasted. then, he would spent fifteen years serving blackwatch.

so it is safe to say that in a short span of life [ seventeen years, though the most of his trauma happened from eleven onward ] cole had to go from that happy – if naive – child to a hardened, cynical men. a killer. a mercenary. a soldier. a bounty hunter. he never had the opportunity to access what happened to him in anything but a dissociated way; he can't frame himself within the parameters of his old name and that is not a coincidence, but truly a consequence of his life experiences: that he refers to himself only as Cole Cassidy.

has your muse found their happiness in life ? their purpose ? if so, when and how did that happen ?

He has had his moments of happiness, though brief and sparse, in life since the incident at the ranch when he was eleven. for all he reserves his criticism for overwatch [ especially at the end ], he cannot deny those fifteen years were his happiest. he had a family among those ranks: GABRIEL REYES, ANA AMARI AND HER DAUGHTER FAREEHA, ANGELA ZIEGLER, AMELIE AND GERARD LACROIX, GENJI SHIMADA, LENA OXTON — just to mention a few names. however, as it is known, that moment in his life came to an end in a long and torturous process that left him feeling empty inside. then, as a bounty hunter and mercenary [ a man on the run from many things ]. It's not that he didn't want it, it is simply that he didn't think himself for deserving of that feeling.

DOESN'T DETAIN HIM FROM REACHING FOR THAT SUNSET. this idea [ an archetypal notion of the lonesome hero riding off to sunset, symbolizing he has prevailed over the antagonist ] he has that will find his happiness when he is done working, even though he believes, deep down, he will never stop until he dies — the hero cannot exist within the vacuum, after all. be it the epic or the tragedy, the hero rarely lives on to the end of his own story [ doesnt keep him from accepting the call ]. so he entertains himself with the fantasy he will buy himself a farm, raise some livestock and grow his own food; he may even have a family. it is less of a plan and more of a distant daydream. whatever happens, happens.

what gives your muse confidence, what makes them optimistic ? or are they pessimistic ? what makes their life purposeful ?

The cowboy's confidence relies and foremost on his own abilities. he is fully aware of what he is capable of, as he is entirely aware of how far he can take a bluff. it doesn't make him particularly optimistic toward any outcome — simply that given opportunity, he can go down fighting a good fight. he has no deep purpose in life, especially as of the time around recall. he wants to find widowmaker, he wants to free echo, but thats about the end of it. ANA'S LETTER PROVES, HOWEVER, THAT HE SEEKS A HIGHER PURPOSE. the hero fights not for himself, but for those he considers dear to him and / or swore to protect.

Every now and then I think about Frankie. Probably more often than anyone else from Deadlock, besides Bob. Even Bars or the twins don't cross my mind nearly as much.

[wildissylupus]

What are the characters that we’ve seen in the various media stories of Overwatch that you’d want as heroes

Mine are Maximilian and D.Mon

My main ones are Sanjay, Lynx and Frankie. All of them most likely being supports.

Sanjay cause we need another villain support. Like yesterday. Please give Talon more members cause at this point they are just going to get jumped. But also I think Sanjay would be a good opportunity to bring back a version of Symetra's old support kit.

Lynx is also a character I see as support, probably with an altered version of MW!Sombra's kit as well. I they would be a good addition cause they seem like they could be a good middle ground for Zenyatta and Ramattra's beliefs, they're very intolerant of prejudice but are accepting of change. I also think that they are a good choice cause they already have an in to get into Overwatch with Zarya already being a member.

Frankie is the only one that's a toss up between DPS or Support, but considering her role in Deadlock Rebels I think she'd fit better as support. Character wise I would just like more insight for Deadlock and the other founders reactions to the situation with Cassidy. Cause Frankie is a lot more level headed and is more similar to Cassidy then Ashe in the way they act and understand the world. Not only that but Frankie would be a good opportunity to bring in a drone based Support.

more cashe + shipping frankie & ashe bc i can

Okay I always wondered how Ashe felt when she found out that Cole joined Overwatch and I'm 100% sure she was very devastated and pissed that Cole basically betrayed her by breaking a promise they both made which is a slap to the face too her.

~~~~ *Ashe seems a bit worried for Cole as she paced around nervously hoping that Cole would be okay since what he did was a stupid move since its been awhile since she last heard from him all she's gotten was radio silence*  Frankie:*notices this and walks over to her* Relax Ashe, why don't we watch T.V so you can ease you're mind   Ashe: For all I know Cassidy might be dead Frankie, after his stupid self sacrifice he did for us! Why would he do that!? Frankie: *places her hand on her shoulder He was thinking of us Ashe he risked his life for ours.  Ashe: We'll he shouldn't…we left him… Frankie: He told us to go… Ashe: And I've shouldn't have listened…. Frankie: Ashe all of us could have gone to maximum prison and there would be no way for us to break out….he saved us… Ashe:....I…I just…It feels so quiet without him…. Frankie: *sighs before getting an idea* Tell you what how about this, we plan a heist to break Cole out okay starting tonight Ashe:*sighs*How though? Frankie:I'll start by look-*gets immediately cut off when Bars run in* Bars: ASHE,FRANKIE YOU MAY WANT  TO SEE THIS ON THE NEWS!!! Ashe and Frankie:*both look at each other and fallows Bars to where the rest of the Deadlock gang just watched the news of Overwatch having a new recruit* Ashe:*takes the remote and turns up the volume * What is going on? News reporter: Today a big announcement from Overwatch with there new youngest recruit ever, it shows that people can change or deserve a second chance. Something that Strike Commander Morrsion is happily to talk about with the press about there latest recruit. Frankie: What are they talkin- Ashe: Quiet! News reporter: *shows an imagine of Cassidy standing in the middle between Reyes and Morrsion with Ana stand behind him* Cole Cassidy, is the youngest member of Overwatch after being taken in was given a second chance at redemption, A new face and a new age to inspire the younger generation that- Ashe:*turns off the T.V as she seemed out of it* *Everyone looks at Ashe wondering if this was a joke* Frankie:*looks worried* oh no….Ashe you al- Ashe: *actually snaps* HOW COULD HE!! DID HE FORGET !? WAS EVERYTHING A LIE!? Frankie: Ashe please calm down… Ashe: *has tears rolling down her face * HE BETRAYED US !!! WE WERE HIS FAMILY NOT THEM!!!  Frankie: Ashe it's ok-   Ashe:IT'S NOT OKAY!! HE LEFT US FRANKIE HE LEFT US AND JOIN WHAT WE SWORE TO NEVER BECOME!! *storms off upset hurt and confused*   Frankie:*tries to go after her but B.O.B stops her * B.O.B move… B.O.B:*shakes his head indicating Frankie to let Ashe cool down*   Frankie: But…I…okay… ~~ Ashe:* went to the base clearly pissed off as she went to her hover bike noticing the picture of her and Cole* Ashe:*without a second she looked  angrily at the picture of her and Cole before she ripped it in half before realising what she's done as she breaks down a bit * Idiot…why….why did you lie to me?....

[mamasplat]

yall remember when i said i wondered if we’d get more of deadlock as playable heros?

i want frankie

one issue, she’s a lot like sombra hell people have even thought she was sombra under a fake name

so make her a support

hear me out. take sombras medkit hack and add to it and make it a whole support character, she lacks the yeehaw style of julian cassidy and ashe but she’s a very important member of the team.

she’d be a secondary support, her main form of support would be to get information from the other team with her tiny fly drone

isn't  she  an  excited  little  thing ?ㅤㅤwith  her  piercing  smile  and  waving  hands  in  hot  pink  and  cyan.ㅤㅤfrom  the  security  of  his  stetson  trim,ㅤhis  bourbon  eyes  see  it  all.ㅤㅤshe's  been  enhanced,ㅤif  not  completely  cybernized.ㅤㅤshe  is  younger  than  him,ㅤbut  not  by  much.ㅤㅤher  english  is  extremely  accented,ㅤand  her  word  choice  suggests  she  is  of  latine  descent.ㅤㅤor,ㅤat  the  very  least,ㅤhispanic  in  some  fashion.ㅤㅤher  consonants  shiver  at  the  back  of  his  mind,ㅤwhere  ghosts  like  to  murmur  when  he  isn't  drunk  enough  to  stop  dreaming.ㅤㅤbehind  her  own  quirks  and  color  scheme,ㅤshe  is  not  dissimilar  to  himself.

"  que  lo  realmente  quieres,ㅤchica?  "ㅤ  —  ㅤhe  smirks,ㅤhis  eyes  glinting  almost  dangerously  under  the  shade  of  his  hat.ㅤㅤit  is  true  that  he  is  the  one  who  requires  her  assistance;ㅤbreaking  into  military  databanks  isn't  something  that  every  hacker  would  want  to  do,ㅤand  he  isn't  on  good  enough  terms  with  frankie  to  ask  for  this  level  of  assistance ㅤ [ㅤor  willing,ㅤbecause  the  cowboy  is  protective  of  his  mysteries,ㅤto  explain  his  reasoningsㅤ].ㅤㅤhe  is  not,ㅤhowever,ㅤhere  to  casually  reveal  his  secrets.ㅤㅤㅤ"  you  can’t  exactly  go  ‘round  asking  me  for  an  open  book  when  you  yourself  ain’t  but  a  stranger.ㅤㅤthat  don’t  seem  right,ㅤdoes  it ?  "ㅤ

How quaint. She really does feel like she's in a spaghetti Western when the vaquero sits across from her. The edge of her lips quirks into half a smirk and she takes the fancy little margarita glass to sip from it slowly as she considers him.

It is him, of that she's sure - hard to hide from her, especially given how distinctive he is in appearance. The metal arm, for one, is hard to miss. She lets the silence stretch between them for a while, wondering if he was going to be the one to break it first, but he seems comfortable with it. Lazily, both of her arms come up as she stretches - then one arm slings over the back of the booth in one smooth motion.

"Que tal," she finally greets easily, seemingly as at ease in this dingy little corner as she would be at home in Mexico or at Talon's base itself. "Just like we agreed, no need to make things super complicated or anything. Half now, half later, and a little trade, bien?" Her finger trails around the lightly salted rim of the margarita glass and she's still looking at him with sharp and searching magenta eyes - as if his demeanor, his expression alone, could hint at the secrets that lay in his past and within his soul.

What a curious puzzle he was. She takes the margarita glass again and drains it this time, the column of her throat working to swallow the rest of the liquid. Not that there was much left. She did tend to drink a lot, so it took a lot to give her any pause. Once that was done, she sets it down and turns to him again. "I just gotta know. Perdona me, mi abuela always told me I was way too curious, but I'm sure you understand. What's a nice, upstanding citizen like you got to hide?"

Her voice has been quiet the entire time, carefully calculated to not extend between the two of them - accented but clear. A single slit eyebrow quirks and she makes it very obvious that she's looking at him up and down. As if finding him wanting. "Don't tell me. You robbed a bank. Wait..." She's smirking again, as if her own jokes were the height of comedy. "No, I got it. You had to find the outlaw what killed your paw." The fake Texan accent is atrocious, but it's part of the humor.
