Ch 62: Maria Calavera.

Kyra stops watching the anime with everyone to go land the Avenger.

"Awe... we have to stop watching?" Osaka asks

"Sorry, we will be back in the air in an hour or two." Kyra says

"If that's the case then we shouldn't be fighting." Blake says

"Yeah, do you wanna come?" Kyra asks

"Not really. I don't exactly want to see Roman." Blake says

"True..." Kyra says

"I will come." Ruby says

"Thanks Rubes." Kyra says with a smile heading to the cockpit.

======================

Walking around Mistral Central Station.

'This seems like a mix of Kingscross and Central Park Station in New York.' Kyra thinks as she explores the Platform with Ruby.

"So what are we looking for?" Ruby asks

"I don't know... originally I was going to look for Roman in his white suit." Kyra says

"Is that him?" Ruby asks pointing at what looks to be a younger Roman wearing Blue jeans and a light blue semi casual dress shirt.

Suddenly the Red haired man Waves at Kyra and Ruby.

Walking up Kyra can't help but ask.

"Is that you Roman?" Kyra asks somewhat dumbfounded.

"The one and only." He says his voice not having changed at all.

"You look..." Kyra says

"Younger." Ruby finishes

"Yeah, I managed to get my hands on some pretty interesting stuff thanks to all the prewar money you gave me Blue." Roman says

"And Neo?" Kyra asks not seeing the girl anywhere.

"Hehe... she's not exactly in a state I want her to leave the house at." Roman says some what sheepishly.

"Meaning?" Kyra asks noticing something

"We were wondering if you could be the child's godmother?" Roman asks

"So it was that. First off congratulations, and yes I would be happy to." Kyra says

"Wait? The really small girl got pregnant?" Ruby asks

"She is a few years older than us Ruby." Kyra says

"Well... lets go see the old lady. I managed to get her address." Roman says leading them out of the train station.

"Great where does she live?" Kyra asks

"Well um... she was apparently my neighbor." Roman says

=====================

"This is a lovely apartment building." Kyra says looking at Ruby.

"Yeah, maybe some day." Ruby says getting her hint.

Roman suddenly knocks on the door.

"Hello?" An old woman's voice asks

"Maria, it's me Roman your neighbor." Roman says

Suddenly the door swings open.

"Roman, hello..." she says looking at Ruby and Kyra

"Your not cheating on Neo right?" Maria asks looking at the two girls.

Kyra suddenly erupts into giggles while Roman has a look of absolute horror on his face.

"Roman, go be with your Neo, we can talk to her." Kyra says.

"Okay, thanks for agreeing to be my child's godmother." Roman says walking down the hall of the building and putting a key in the lock of a door unlocking it then going in.

"So? What can I do for you two young ladies." Maria asks holding on to her cane.

"What would you say to the adventure of a life time?" Kyra asks the old woman.

"I'm much to old for that." Maria says

"I don't get Kyra? You said she could train me, she doesn't seem to have silver eyes." Ruby says

Maria looks at Ruby.

"You have silver eyes?" Maria asks

"Yes?" Ruby says

"Okay, give me a few minutes to pack my stuff. Here come in." Maria says waving them in.

Kyra looks around to see a mostly empty apartment and everything is placed systematically so it would be easy to memorize where everything is.

"Maria are you really just going to agree like that?" Kyra asks

"Yes, now where did I put the scythe." She says looking around her house.

"I thought you would have asked for your youth back, along with your eyes." Kyra says

"You could do that?" The short old woman asks

"Yep, however these need to come off." Kyra says taking off her cybernetic implants.

"Ow! Hey! I'm blind now and that hurt a lot young lady." Maria says

"Just hold tight." Kyra says as she begins gathering magic and a golden aura surrounds her.

Kyra touches Maria's head and she begins to glow her age reversing at a visible rate and her eyes slowly growing back.

"This Hurts a lot you know!?" Maria asks her voice sounding younger.

"I didn't know you could make people younger Kyra?" Ruby asks

"I'm usually not supposed to. However Maria is a good woman who ran into some bad luck and had her life ruined in her early 20s" Kyra says while Maria is rubbing her eyes.

"They are back! I can see in color again." She says looking at the two younger girls in front of her.

'Perfect match for a drunken uncle.' Kyra thinks with a smirk.

"Welcome back." Kyra says with a smile.

"I never heard of golden eyes?" She asks looking at Kyra.

"Of course, it's an extremely rare thing." Kyra says

"You do have silver eyes." Ruby says looking at Maria

"Ok let's get back to the avenger." Kyra says

"The What?" Maria asks

"The adventure of a life time. Follow us!" Kyra says leaving Maria's apartment while she grabs a suitcase and her scythe.
