"... you seem bummed... what's on your mind?" Freak Boy asked, standing up and walking over to her with a limp.

"Nothing is wrong," Iris said a hint of a smile returning. "You should sit."
Standing up, she walked over to get him to sit back down.

"I'm fine. I've had a lot worse when I was in the Ministry of Terror." Freak Boy said as Iris made him sit down.

"The Ministry of Terror...What did you do to get there?"

Freak Boy took a long whistle at that question.
"I think the bigger question is where do I begin?" he said with a laugh. "Let's see... I hacked Stalin's computer, host an anti-Red Infinity Radio Show, write books that Red Infinity doesn't like, gave Dr. Murdock and General Kolov the bird and told them to f**k off, dealt Lin-Sat and Lady Violet personal insults on air and a few other things... "
Freak Boy finished off, wondering if he said too much.

"Oh," Iris said in a voice like she should have known better but was out of the loop.
"Dr. Murdock, I don't really like her...she seems too happy. And she acts like she's my boss. Even if Im forced into the Little Sister project she is not my boss nobody is..."
She trailed off like she said too much.
"Never mind what I just said."

"No, I already knew." Freak Boy said, holding up the blueprints to the project. "One of our contacts got these to us... I was aware that Erika's daughter, you, were to be the operator."
Freak Boy decides to leave out he and Bassarov's plot to kidnap her before Little Sister could be completed.

"Oh..." Iris said in a small voice. "It seems that Red Infinity has left me out of most of the details. I don't know really that much about it. And I don't really care to know either, but at least they could fill me in a bit. I'm only a tool so why does it matter."
Iris made a small pathetic laugh, "Sorry...you don't want to hear this."
She got up to walk away from him.

"Oh, don't be so pecimistic." Freak Boy said, standing up and catching her by the arm before she left. His eyes met hers and he couldn't help but want to kick himself for breaking his promise to himself never to fall for another woman again...
"I--uh..." he cleared his throat. "Sorry. You're not a tool... you're a living thing. In fact, you're not much different than I am... on the run from the opressive communist government... you know what you need? You need to cheer up. Let's go catch a movie."

A little wary about the way he was looking at her, she saw no harm in seeing a movie.
"Ok yeah," she said in the same small voice.

The look he must have been getting from Erika seemed capable of killing him.
"So, let's get going." Freak Boy said, limping towards the door.

Iris stopped.
"I don't think mother likes the idea..."

Freak Boy looked to Erika and almost jumped out of his skin... even though she wasn't Medusa, he felt like turning to stone.
"Yeah... I guess you're right...." Freak Boy turned and looked like he was going to sit down. He then whispered into Iris's ear.
Relax, I've got a plan.
Freak Boy began heading for the fridge which was by the door. He then grabbed Iris's arm.
"RUN!!" he shouted, making a mad dash for the door.

First she looked at him like he was crazy and then when he pulled her with him, she started to soften up.
After they were away from the house a bit they slowed down.
"You know the both of us do have to go back there don't you?" she said with a slight smirk. "And my mother isn't so bad."

"Well... we'll cross that bridge when we get to it." he said in a slightly nervous voice. "And, while you can get along with your mother... well, I have the feeling that if it were up to her I'd be decapitated on site."
He laughed and smiled at her with a warm smile.
