i was brave one time - Lucifer

Mavericks was also a nightclub and the hottest one in town. Rebecca was an occasional visitor here as it a place she could take her girlfriend if one didn't mind others noticing Alicia. Most of the visits was just her and she could listen to the DJ do her thing while she had a drink and bar food.

A beer was on her mind as she entered the club and headed to the bar. You needed to go through the dance floor first of all but tonight was a bit more chilled out since it was a soul night.

Landing up at the bar she looked casual but slightly smarter than the music festival. She'd went for a black wrap round skirt and a green t-shirt and looked like she'd just went out for the night rather than returning from a business meeting; which she had as she had others to carry out some of her plans. She still did plenty of the dirty work herself. A little backpack finished of the look as she asked for her beer and her tail flicking in a relaxed manner.

"Hey Arnes" she cheerfully said when she spotted him. She looked happy too and they'd a good night at Coachella.

Going out for the night after work was normal for most people and while the work she actually was doing was unusual for most people she still needed a beer and a break. “Oh just a break after work” she replied cheerfully. “So what have you been up to since the festival?” she posed.

Someone who had never worked in an office was Rebecca but she did have to look like she belonged pulling off her fake job. Now she could clearly say she was self employed doing both kinds of work. “Things look like they are looking up for you and the island really does come alive at night” she replied after sipping her beer. “It’s like this every night especially as people recover from the last crisis”.

What did bring her out here? It was certainly work but not what most people would consider such. “Work brought me out here but I do feel a lot more settled. I think I’ll be self employed here once my contract comes to its end. Building security is more than just cameras and alarm systems. Those need protected as well and the work I started will need to be continued” she replied. The good doctor might still need her back doors she’d set up for him someday and what she could do even extended to access cards.

Everything could be brought here so she had existing customers.

“However life isn’t all about work. We do need to relax and have fun. We do get on well” she added with a smile. She did have a feeling that some day she could scare him badly but right now they were getting on just fine.

Arnes had good aims in life. She understood that given she barely had a normal life prior to her time here but knowing her daughter was round some where did help a lot. Probally California knowing Lucy but lacking contact was nothing unusual with her. It was intermittent at best.

“That does happen so easily. Sometimes we don’t realise that until it’s too late” she replied. “Where did you live before coming here?” she curiously added.

“I came from Nunavut province in Canada. So know all about wide open spaces. It’s like Alaska in a way” Rebecca replied sipping her beer. She doubted she’d ever get back to her hometown but perhaps he might.

“Right here is a lot warmer than were we started off” she added. They came from opposite sides of the cold parts of the Americas so might well have grown up in similar ways.

She was sure there was a poster of her in her home town police station and the Mounties would have one too. So returning was out of the question even if she was the most famous person to even come out there. Even if she'd never had a criminal career those agents she killed getting away from the OSE was enough to damn her.

"Being warmer to start with kind of negates any extra heat; at least that's the way for me" she replied with a smile. "Going back is impossible. I ran when my powers and mutations showed and ended up on the move ever since then" she added. That also meant not knowing what happened to her parents after they tried to defend her. Back when she was a dark haired girl scout and a normal girl.

She always assumed the worst happened but she wasn't going to waste the sacrifice made for her. Even working in Canada was dangerous given OSE Canada would expect her to return at some point. At least here she could stay under the radar.
