Erin gave Lucian a small, forced smile as he said he didn't like to make assumptions. She could tell from his over all vibe and manner, that he wasn't exactly being truthful. Erin may not have been the brightest, but she could tell when people were suspicious of her. Her had every right to be. So, she couldn't entirely blame him. Especially seeing as he was none other than Maelstrom, something she wasn't expecting. But not pleasantly surprised. She had to admit, she admired his work, in and out of the villain role. He got the work done, and she had to admire it.
Markus rolled his eyes as he overheard the banter between Erin and Lucian, "I can hear you two, ya know?" he said with a sigh as he grabbed a can from the cupboard. "Okay, and?" she chuckled. He shook his head once more, before grabbing a spoon from one of the drawers and walked back over, handing Erin the can and utensil. "Just eat, you look like shit." he muttered, before sitting down on the floor. Erin rolled her eyes, "Like you're one to talk, asshole." she muttered as she opened the can and slowly took a few bites of food, before stopping. She sighed, taking a small glimpse towards Markus, seeing if she was allowed to explain things to Lucian. Markus simply gave her a small nod to continue.
Erin straightened her posture in the chair, wrapping her arm around one of her legs as she propped it up, "Well...I've known Markus for...The past...what? Six years?" she asked, eyebrow arched as if trying to remember. Markus shook his head, "Try eleven years, and still counting. How hard did you hit your head?" Markus scoffed. Erin shot him a small glare, before a small smile creased her lips, "Pretty hard actually...The car hitting me didn't help..." she said with a defeated tone, taking a few more bites from the can of food. "We kind of...Knew each other since I was a kid. I mean, I'm still young but...He knew me for...The worst half, honestly." she chuckled, rubbing the back of her neck. "Whenever shit would go down, Markus would do his best to be there for me...Kind of like an older brother...Even if he is an asshole sometimes, so can I be." her voice dipped a bit for a moment. "After my powers kind of...made themselves known, I'd use Markus to try to see what kind of shit I could handle, and visa versa. We kinda like....Trained, I guess?" Markus gave her a small nod, as a small smile creased his lips for just a moment.
"You always were a pain in my ass, and I think you always will be. But, I'm glad to know you're okay, Rin...Even if how we left last time were on..Well...Ya know." his voice dipping out at the end of his sentence. Erin closed her eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath, "It was a botched mission...On both of our ends, Markus...I can't...I don't fault you for what happened. I'm just sorry about your partner...BlackHawk." Erin gave Markus a saddened look, one of which he returned of his own. "It's okay, Rin...We all fucked up that day. Just...Some of us got out..." Erin sighed, "And one didn't..." she muttered, combing her hand through her hair. She hadn't entirely acknowledged that mission since it happened. Seeing what became of someone they both considered to be a good friend, and well revered hero like BlackHawk was, well...It was hard for them to talk about. The two exchanged one more look in silence before Markus spoke up again, "Hey look...You're still not fully healed up and...It's been a while...Think you can...Maybe stay the night, we can catch up tomorrow and...Go on from there...Before you leave? We...We might even be able to use your help actually. What do you think, Luc?" he asked, with a raised eyebrow as he looked at Lucian.
Erin shot them both a look, "Hey, I don't want to intrude more than I already have, alright? I'll be more than fine...Chances of me dying again are good as any...But, if you need information, or a third man out there to do some scouting, recon, whatever...I can help with that. If it's what I think it's about..." she gave them both a knowing look, eyebrows raised as her eyes darted between the two. Not knowing if they were being listened in on, Erin wasn't going to risk the chances. She knew what was going on in Scarriden, and was admmitedly scared as well, fuck, who wasn't?
