"So tell me, whats your story?" asked Marco walking down the road beside Raven. Marco was now curious about Raven's history and what it has been like living with other humans her whole life. "Well, I am a bounty hunter" she replied and Marco gave her a confused look. "Whats that?" asked Marco and Raven smiled underneath her mask. "A Bounty Hunter in the 21st century was a person who went out to collect criminals when they did not show up to court I believe, Now, Bounty Hunters are assigned to kill Mutants by Fortress' for Merchants to easily come into an area and find anything worth caps" she replied and Marco looked at her confused. "What?, You've never heard of Caps? beer bottle caps? the current currency?" she asked and Marco shook his head. "Well you use Caps to buy things, for example, A bottle of Soda is 10 caps while something like an assault rifle is 4000" said Raven before the two of them turned the corner to find a Mutant standing 40 feet infront of them facing them. "Ah, A Morger scout" said Raven before flicking her assault rifle to single shot and then aiming while she looked down the enhancing scope that zoomed in 4x more than human vision. "Head or Heart?" asked Raven and Marco shrugged. "Heart" he replied before Raven pulled the trigger on her rifle and a loud Bang! echoed through the air. The bullet shredded through the Mutant's chest and finally its heart before ripping out the other side and it collapsed down onto the ground dead. "You called it a Morger, Whats a Morger?" asked Marco. "Morgers are humans that have become infected and have reached the stage where there brain begins changing but have not mutated past that point, They are much more organized than normal Mutants but they are extremely stupid and piss poor runners" explained Raven while her and Marco approached the mutated corpse. When they reached the corpse Marco closed his eyes for a second in disgust before examining it. The Morger was wearing shredded up blue jeans, No shoes and a shredded leather jacket. The left side of the Morgers head no longer had human properties. Its left side of the head was made up of a series of Large boils and growths that covered the area where its eye use to be and and flopped out of the Morgers mouth was a long lizard like yellow tongue that had enlarged taste buds the size of pee's. "Lets keep moving" said Raven pulling the scope off her assault rifle before flicking it back to automatic and her and Marco kept walking.
A few hours later Raven and Marco had left the city and were now walking towards a large lake in the distance with what looked like a large fortress on the other side. Marco couldn't make out any details of it yet but while he was looking at the fortress he did not notice the 2 very large men walking towards them. The two of them looked like they had been building there muscles up all there lives to Marco. They approached and greeted Raven before they got to asking about Marco. One of the men had light skin, He wore a long grey trench coat that had been modified so he could carry 4 pistols on the outside on each side. He had Black steel toe boots on and a black gasmask. The second Man had dark skin and wore a black jacket with a bullet resistant vest for heavy fire. He wore a grey gasmask and a pair of brown work boots. "Hello Raven, How'd your bounty go?" asked the light skinned man and Raven smiled underneath her mask. "Very well actually, I met a new friend" she replied gesturing towards Marco who gave a small wave. "Where is the guys mask?" asked the dark skinned male and Raven shrugged. "He say's he is immune, He hasn't worn one the whole time I've known him which is about 4 hours and none of the symptoms have appeared so I guess he really is" said Raven and the Light skin male nodded. "So, You guys going on a bounty or...?" asked Raven and the Dark skinned man shook his head. "Nope, Were going to see Mr Wise" replied the dark skinned man and Raven nodded. "I'll come up there after I do a few more bounties, I might bring my friend here as well" said Raven before shaking hands with them. "See you between a week to 2 weeks then" said the light skinned man before Raven and Marco kept walking. "Who were they?" asked Marco walking backwards so he can look at Raven's face. "2 other bounty hunters that are close friends of mine, I've known the two of them since I was 6, Im 19 now so thats 13 years of friendship, The light skinned man's name is Hammer and the Dark skinned man is Axle" said Raven before she looked up at the fortress in the distance. "You can share my room with me, They make new comers sleep in the lower parts of the fortress and they are usually filthy, I just hope you know how to share a bed because if you try hogging the blankets or groping me, Ill shove a knife down your urethra...Got it?" asked Raven giving Marco a serious look and he smiled. "I shared a bed with my mother and father every day of my life, Ill behave" he said before chuckling and Raven smiled. "Good, Then you and me will be good friends, When we get inside the fortress you will have to go through a medical examination and fill out a form for a job, If you want you can become my new partner!, You seem to know how to handle yourself" said Raven while leaning closer to Marco near the end of her sentence and Marco smiled. "What happened to your old partner?" asked Marco. "Ill tell you later when you get clarified to walk around the fortress" replied Raven before the two of them began walking around the lake to the fortress.
