"The Nova Project" (EDITED)

Xenon -completely unexpectedly- grabbed a hold of her and led her through the town, passing by many odd people who stared at her, she glared back at them. "I'm Vexenesis...Vexis for short," She told him, now that she realized he was not a threat. "How did you get here, anyway?" Xenon asked her. "I uh...just figured I'd drop in and visit this town...?" She replied, sounding confused with her own response. It was a lie, of coarse. Xenon chuckled at her response, assuming that the confusion was not intended. "So where are you taking me, anyway?" She asked him.

"To the Guardian Alliance, Tazuma would want me to bring you there, in case you needed help but forgot," Xenon explained. Vexenesis noticed that someone was following them, "Don't look now...but someone is stalking...er...following us..." She whispered to Xenon. He then stupidly turned around to look, but no one was there. "No there isn't..." He told her in a slightly confused tone. "Over here, stupid." Vexis told him, he now turned around to face her again, and now saw the strange looking girl ahead of them. "Who are you?" The girl asked abruptly.

Vexis frowned a bit, "I could ask you the same..." she replied, unwilling to give her name. The girl got visibly frustrated with Vexis for not answering. Her violet eyes narrowed, concentrating on something. "I see...so you're the newest experiment in the Nova Project...your name is Vexenesis," she told the two of them. Vexis looked somewhere between intimidated and befuddled. "H-how did you...?" she wondered out loud. "I know things, and I have methods of getting info. That's all you need to know about me," the girl explained. "Don't worry, dear Vexenesis, our paths will cross another day, until then, I'll be waiting. I'm Lea by the way." She then leapt off somewhere in a burst of speed, before Vexis could ask her a question.

Xenon looked very confused about everything, now. "Who was she? And what was this about a 'Nova Project'?" he asked Vexis. Vexis looked down, uncertainty clearly showing in her expression. "I'm not like you, Xenon." He looked even more befuddled now, "Huh? What do you mean Vex-" He was unable to finish his sentence before noticing that Vexis was now gone, he saw a small pile of giant black & white feathers not too far ahead. He picked one up, examining it, "Wonder what kind of odd bird dropped these...?" he said to himself.

Vexis now started her search all over town for their strange visitor, but found no luck in locating her. Now realizing that it was impossible to find this girl, Vexis settled down in a dark alley in between two large buildings. "No one will find me here..." She assured herself, planning to rest for a while.
