Ash glared a little at the penny comment but continued with her story anyway after taking a deep breath. She wouldn't tell him the whole tale, just the small details, "Well ... i felt i was wasting my life down in the sewers. One day i got up, said goodbye to the rats and left to go into the open world. I've been travelling ever since, only having Kefka for company. Though there are a few people i have met. Some nice and some not so. I have many enemies it seems ... people from the facility keep coming after me. I don't even know what they want." she lied, she did know. She just wanted to keep it to herself.

Gene had never heard of any facilitys that dealt with mutants but of course he had never even heard of mutants untill today. He wondered what the men were after. He noticed that she glared at him."I'm sorry for that penny comment." he said looking down at the ground. he felt bad for making another stupid comment again.

"It's okay ... i lead a strange life. It's not surprising you found it funny." Ash said smiling a bit at him. She was still watching him carefully. Her past had made her paranoid and she found it hard to trust people. There were few who had done nothing wrong to her, she just seemed to keep meeting the wrong people at the wrong time. "Stop saying sorry anyway ..."

Gene nodded and smiled back at her."My life was fairly boring. I lived in a small village and when I wasn't training I served drinks to the patrons at my mother's bar." he said remmbering the strong smelling alchol. He remmbered when he snuck a sip and and then threw it up.

"I wouldn't call it boring." Ash said as she listened, "More like peaceful. I would have liked to live a life like that ... you know, just be normal and stuff. I wasn't even given a chance to be a kid really. It would have een nice to live in a village around people ... then maybe i would like them more." she shrugged slightly.

"Its never to late to live in a village. Up north we don't get much news. So if you find a village up there you could probably live peacefully. but you would have to like snow." he said trying to remmber his home. He remembered the cold winters and the snow. He loved the snow he would spend hours running around and playing in it. It brought a smile to his face.

"Trust me ... it's better i don't live near people. I don't trust humans too much. They are far too corrupt for my liking. Always seeking power and they don't understand what's different. But maybe one day in the future it will be different ... i hope so." She nodded, "But i do love snow ... it's so soft and pretty and cold."

"I'm not corrupt am I?" he asked as he thought about himself. He didn't see himself as a bad person even if he did kill people. But he knew he would never hurt anyone that was unarmed or defenseless. He certainly didn't think the people in his village were corrupt either. He let out a sigh as he gave up trying to figure it out.

"Everyone is corrupt in their own way." Ash shrugged her answer, "Just some are mo so than others ... sorry if i offend you, it's just that humans havent treated me well in the past." she said thinking about all the experiments and tests that had been done and the research carried out. And then the faces of her dead adopted family popped into her head. She sighed.

"Its okay." said Gene smiling."You didn't offend me at all its just that I wasn't sure if I was corrupt." he said looking at the sky. He wondered how long things had been like this."Are their mutants out there that are trying to liberate the camps?" he asked looking back at Ash.

"I'm not particulary sure ..." she answered truthfully, "All us mutants have a different view about how things should be. Some don't want to get involved in all this mess, then there are others who fight hard for freedom, they're the ones who would probably be trying to free the other mutants ... and ofcourse, some want the humans either dead or under our rule."

Gene could not imagine being ruled over. He knew that he was ruled over by the goverment but he still disliked it. It was one of the reasons why he had become a pirate. He let out a deep sigh adn looked up at the sky. But when she mentioned that some wanted humans dead he imagined a war. He had always wanted a war but now.... now he felt like it would be wrong.

Ash watched him carefull as she tilted her head. She wondered what he was thinking but didn't want to ask so she just stared, unaware that she was doing so. Kefka awoke from his slumber and stretched out before looking at Ash and talking to her. Ash understood what he said and nodded her agreement to him, but she then sighed and stretched out herself.

Gene continued to stare up at the sky before snapping back to reality."Huh?" he asked as he looked around and then saw Kelka and Ash."Oh sorry I kinda zoned out." he said laughing."I was just thinking about what it would be like to be ruled over." he said looking at the ground. "No one rules me unless they can beat me." he said smiling.

Ash shook her head as she chuckled slightly, "I like your thinking. I'm the same way ... the only way someone would rule over me is if they either beat me so bad i couldnt move or if i died. I'd stay rebelling til the very end. I'm a bit stubborn like that."

"I think its good to be stubborn when it comes to your beliefs." he said looking at the sky. He looked at the trees around him. It had been awhile since he had been in a forest a few months at the most. He smiled as he looked up at the tree tops."What did you do when you were a child? I mean you must have done more than run." said Gene trying to phrase what he was asking so he didn't sound like a jerk.

"Like i said ... i didn't have much chance to act like a child. I was either being trained to fight, being tested on or chased. I can't think of anything else." Ash answered with a small shrug, "I had to grow up quick and fend for myself. And keep away from humans ofcourse ... i was always inclined to attack them." she sighed somewhat and layed on her back, resting her head on her hands.

Gene looked down at the ground."Wow and I though every kid played in the forest when they were younger." he said looking back up."I spent most of my time in one either training or climbing trees." he said remmbering his childhood once again. It was strange ever since meeting Ash he began to think of his past and his future.

"I used to be jealous of the other kids." Ash admitted as she looked up at the sky with a slight frown, "But i realised they were ignorant of what was happening around them but i wasn't. But still ... i like being in the forest now. Although i dont climb trees." she chuckled slightly, "And isnt that dangerous anyway for a kid? What if they fell?"

"It sort of is." he said remembering all the times he had fallen out of trees. He sighed remmbering the time he broke his arm and he had to get his bones set by a healer. His hand went to his left arm and he felt it."I didn't fall that much." he said with a smile."Maybe a few times."

"So you are clumsy then?" Ash asked with a slight grin. She thought back to all the dangerous things she had done and all the injuries sustained while doing them. There were quite a few. Too many to count on her hands. She looked over at Gene and gave him a strange look, "What's the worst injury you've had? And how did you get it?" she asked, "Sorry i'm just feeling a little curious at the moment. It's nice having company." she added.

Gene shook his head."Its okay." he said happily."Hmmmm..." he said as he tried to think of what his worst injury was."I would have to say when Grandpa spared with me for the first time." he shivered remembering how fierce the old man was."I got a few deep cuts from his axe and lost quite a bit of blood. I was bed ridden for awhile though." he said as he looked at the axe.

"Wow ... he sounds quite harsh." Ash said a little surprised, "That's kind of like what happened to me, except without the bed ridden bit. They didn't give me a chance to recover but i didn't really mind at the time ... it gave me a chance to injure them back more quickly." She nodded slightly and then pointed to the scar across her right eye, "See this? I got it from from trying to escape the facility where i was held by the scientists ... it was caused by a sharp needle. I moved to eratically in my fight and the scientist caught the needle across my eye. Quite painful."

Gene winced as he tried to imagine that. He remembered how bad he felt after the sparring but he couldn't imagine fighting right after it. He probably would have killed himself trying to beat his grandfather."How bad did it hurt?" he asked looking at Ash sympathetically. he wondered what else she had gone through when she was in the facility.

"... Alot." she answered simply before taking a deep breath, "But stuff like that happened a lot. After a while i got used to the pain. Training in that place and trying to escape were daily routines for me. I got so violent that they got rid of me thereselves." she grinned slightly, "Served them right ... but sadly they seem to think i have calmed down since then."

"Is that why their after you now?" he asked as he stood up. He leaned against the tree silently wondering what he would have done in her position. But it was hard he had just started to learnabout mutants and the facilitys. All he knew was he would rather die then be a prisoner. He tightened his fist before looking at Ash.

Ash nodded, "Yeah that's right ... They'll never take me back there again though. No way. I would sooner kill all their sorry asses, and i'd have no problem doing it. They are just weak humans and evil ones at that ... they are even bad to their own people. They don't deserve a place in this world." she sighed.

Gene thought about what she sad and nodded."What humans do you consider weak?" he asked wondering if he was included in the group. He had never thought of him as weak unless you count the fact that sad stories make him cry. He looked back at Ash wondering if she thought most humans were weak. Vut he shook his head. Shes not like that. he thought to himself.

"Weak humans ... ones without a conscience or strengh. One's that have no courage and seek power for their own gain. One's that are scared of what's different. They are weak." Ash answered seriously. She glared at an open space as she thought about most humans that she had come across. Gene was the only one she liked so far, or that she'd even had a conversation with.

Gene let out a sigh of relief."Okay I gues we both agree on whats weak then." he said with a smile. Gene wondered who would win in a match between Ash and himself. He began to play out the battle in his head. He quickly forced the thought out of his head.
