"You're going to what?!" Danny slams the table in shock, creating a large bang sound. Everyone turned their heads and looked at Daisy and Danny.
"Waiter?" Daisy raised her hand slightly to notify a waiter. An Omniac turned around and looked over to Daisy's table. He was dressed in a suit with a tiny bow tie attached to his collar and he held a pad with a pen.
"How may I serve you today?" The waiter comes over to Daisy's table.
"Let's see.." Daisy looks down at the holographic menu that levitated in front of her. "Could I get 2 pints of beer?"
Danny looks at Daisy with a concerned look, as if she did not just blurt something so insane out of her mouth.
"Certainly." The Omniac bowed his head and walked away, rolling across the floor with the built-in wheels in his feet.
"Don't overreact," Daisy muttered through the side of her lips. "I've already formulated a plan."
"Are you-" Danny realises the tone and volume of his speech, he was nearly screaming. He pauses for a moment and swallows his spit. "Are you insane?" Danny asks Daisy.
Daisy raised both of her hands and interlocked her fingers together, resting her chin on her fingers. "Maybe," Daisy laughs slightly as she covers her mouth with her hand. "I'm a part of a team named The Mavericks, we're a bunch of... I guess you could call us heroes?"
The waiter comes back holding 2 massive pints of beer with white foam bubbling at the top and spilling over the glass edge.
"You saved me." Danny thanked the waiter. "In that train." And helped to place the beers down on the table.
"Well kinda yeah," Daisy took out a 10 Khristel bill from her pocket and passed it to the waiter who graciously accepted it. "But we're not contracted to the government or any agency of that manner. We're freelancers who get a kick out of killing people who deserve to die." She picks up one of the glasses by the handles, raising it. "It's fun to see the faces of those who have accepted their fates suddenly change." She places the glass up to her lips and takes a sip, painting the glass with her pink lipstick.
"Sure is fun." Danny picks up the glass and chugs it down, gulping continuously before not a single drop is left in the glass. The foam seeped through the corners of his mouth and dripped down the side of his chin, dripping down onto his leather pants.
"Ha!" Daisy laughs innocently as she slams her own glass onto the wooden table. She chuckles loudly as she couldn't keep her laughter in.
"What?" Danny lowers the glass gently as a coat of foam covers his upper lip and the side of his mouth, creating a moustache made of foam.
"Maybe adding you to the team wasn't such a bad idea, The Maverick's been lacking someone with an actual sense of humour, the only funny one is Reymi and he barely ever shows up!" Daisy starts muttering random words that Danny doesn't understand.
"Huh?" Danny raises one of his eyebrows.
"Don't worry about it, you'll learn about them soon." Daisy exhales from her nose out of laughter and wipes the foam on her mouth. "Let me get that for you." Daisy reaches for a tissue underneath the table and cleans Danny's mouth for him.
Her soft gentle fingers pushed down on the tissue as she glided it along the side of his mouth, wiping away the foam and collecting it on the tissue. Danny blushes slightly but Daisy removes her hand and throws the tissue onto the ground, into a trash bin. Daisy realises what she just did and blushes slightly, but tries to hide it by smiling.
"Anyways." Daisy smiles gently as she tries to move on from that weird interaction. "I think you're gonna be a great addition to the team."
"Am I suddenly joining a team now?" Danny fixes his hair which has completely started losing its blue dye, instead, his natural brown hair had started growing from the roots again and pushing the blue away.
"That depends on if you're in or out." Daisy reminds Danny of the 3000 Khristels on the table by pushing the envelope towards Danny. "This 3000 is merely proof that we're not joking around. The International Bank of Cathode is ours to take."
"I'm not sure if you would want to do that..." Danny tilts his head slightly. "Isn't that place like only the most guarded place in the world?"
"You clearly don't know what The Mavericks are capable of. C'mon, wait for me to finish this drink and I'll show you around." Daisy swishes her glass around, moving the small drops of beer in her glass in a circular motion.
"By all means, surprise me." Danny smiles.

"This was a surprise." Danny looks up and sees a man hanging from the ceiling by only his feet. Danny and Daisy are in the middle of an empty and dark warehouse in a location far away from central Cathode City. He's wearing a full suit of welding armour and is holding a blowtorch, blowing sparks straight into his face and falling from the ceiling.
"That guy's name is Reymi. The mechanic of the group." Daisy points to the sentient suit of armour hanging from the ceiling.
"Sup dude?" Reymi looks down at Danny. "Is this the new kid?" Reymi jumps down from the ceiling and lands on the ground without making a single sound.
Danny is caught off-guard by Reymi's sudden movements. "How you doin'?" Reymi offers a hand to Danny but he doesn't shake his hand. "Oh right, where are my manners?" Reymi removes his mask but flips it upward, causing a rush of smoke to escape from his mask. "The names Reymi." Reymi smiles at Danny and forcefully shakes his hand, reaching for it at his waist. "What's your Omnishell?"
"What's an-" Danny is completely overwhelmed by Reymi's look. He had dark skin and long dreads that covered most of his face, his sharp blue eyes were the only thing visible in the shadow of the mask. He towered over Danny with a 6'5 stature.
"He doesn't have one yet." Daisy interrupts Danny. "He's as new as they get."
"Wow!" Reymi erupts in laughter as he wraps his hand around Danny's shoulders. "Dawg you ain't even got an Omnishell?" Reymi claps his hand. "That's 'aight though!" Reymi snaps his fingers. "Metro Booming!"
Suddenly, from the ceiling illuminated a being. Streaks of green light lit up the figure of a humanoid creature.
The figure dropped down from the ceiling and landed on the ground as gracefully as his owner did too. The creature was illuminated by the streaks of green lights that covered his entire body. He looked like a robot made of leftover scraps and metals, a tall stature with ginormous arms but small legs. All over his body were various speakers and noise-producing objects.
His head was made purely of metal and had a microphone as a mouth and the top part of his head was made of a boombox, his ears looked like musical notes.
"This is my Omnishell 'Metro Booming!" Metro Booming was extremely vibrant and the light radiating off him was enough to light up the entire warehouse.
