"Xander;" Ariel says as her boyfriend walks in the room; "this is Rebecca." she tells him as she stands up.
"Um, hi." Xander says.
"Excuse me a minute;" Ariel says as she leaves the room; "I'm gonna go get Moniques number for Rebecca, and go pee."
"Xander? Xander Lynch?" Rebecca asks; "I've heard about you, a lot actually."
"Uh, don't believe everything you hear." Xander says reflexively.
Smiling at him; "Ya, a lot of it was from the Green Guardian, and he's not the smartest guy." Rebecca tells him; "If it makes you feel any better he's not the only City Defender that talks about you."
Surprised, Xander asks; "Who else?"
"Zoe Hill. I guess she was like, a couple grades behind you in college, or something like that." Rebecca tells him; "She said that you're robotics skills were pretty up there. The way she talked a couple times I think she wants to have your baby." she says with a laugh.
Surprised and embarrassed; "Um...ok." Xander says uncomfortably.
"You know, I've heard the Green Guardian's side of the story a hundred times; mind if I ask what you're side is?" Rebecca pushes.
Glancing down the hall after Ariel and then meeting the former City Defenders gaze; "I got caught by a vigilante, a mutant friend of the Green Guardian who had the ability to be bulletproof. They just bounced off him. At the time I only had a pair of pistols. We fought, and he won. I ended up with a broken leg and a broken arm and linked to three bodies. So I went to prison." Xander says with a shrug; "About two weeks after I got there the vigilante must have hunted somebody else down, but they had a laser weapon and he ended up dead. Somehow that green idiot got it stuck in his head that I somehow had something to do with his death, from my prison cell, and he's been trying to catch me doing something that he can send me back to prison for ever since."
"You didn't hire anyone or anything?" Rebecca asks.
Shaking his head; "I don't even know who did it, and I really don't care." Xander tells her; "Look, I was trying to make a name for myself. How would it look if I had to outsource a hit. A hitman that has to hire a hitman. I mean, come on! The truth is I've worked both sides; I've been the hero, and I've been the villain. And they're both equally dangerous. Anyone that's played the game can tell you that." Averting his gaze and lowering his tone; "Ariel told me about what happened the other day, so you know what I'm talking about. You're invulnerable but somebody found a way to hurt even you."
Silence fills the room for a few moments; "So how much do you charge?" Rebecca asks him with a serious expression.
