New Friendships
Hi. Sorry for the delay. I ended up getting distracted by other stories, mine and others. But don't worry. I haven't forgotten about you.
I hope you like it.
ALEX ON
It's been a month now since I met Black Cat, who revealed her name to me as Felicia Hardy. With both of us having hung out every now and then during that month, both as civilians and as our alter egos. And in that time I've studied the weapons I confiscated from those crates, as well as developed new equipment for myself. Such as: Freeze Grenades, Sonic Grenades, Electromagnetic Grenades, Smoke Grenades, among other things. I developed some of these new equipment using the technology from the weapons. As well as made some improvements to my main equipment. But now I'm taking a walk around the city, as I haven't explored the city much since I escaped from that Hydra facility. Besides my patrols.
AUTHOR ON
As Alex walked through the streets and enjoyed the air around him, he suddenly heard some commotion nearby and went to see what was going on, until he spotted a really cool red car that looked totally rad and fast to drive.
Alex: *Whistles* I could use a car like that.
???: Come on, not now! Why does this thing always do this to me?
Alex heard a female voice near the car and looked over to see a girl with black hair and green eyes wearing a white shirt and red skirt and it looked like she was having some trouble with her car and Alex thought it would be a good idea to give the poor girl a hand with whatever she was having trouble with her car.
Alex: Excuse me, miss. Do you need any help there?
???: Hmm? Oh, thank you, that would be grea........................
Suddenly the girl stopped talking and looked at the man who was standing in front of her, in which she took in the man's appearance which was Alex and examined him from head to toe and soon after the girl took one look at Alex she started to blush. how handsome and attractive the man standing in front of her was that it was making her heart race.
Alex: It looks like you're having trouble with your car here. Can I take a look and see what the problem is?
???: Oh right, sorry. I wasn't paying attention. Sure, it's no problem.
Alex: What seems to be the problem with it?
???: I don't know. It was working fine this morning and now it suddenly stopped and there's gas in the tank since I filled it up last night. Honestly, I have no idea why it keeps shutting off like this.
Alex: Let me take a look under the hood and see for myself.
Alex opened the hood and took a look at the engine of the girl's car to find out why her car wasn't working properly and so far where he looked everything was fine but then he saw something and it seemed loose and he saw that one of the wires in the car that should be connected to the engine had broken, meaning that was why the car wasn't working properly.
Alex: I found the problem. One of the wires that should be connected to the engine somehow broke.
???: So that's why my car was having problems.
Alex: Correct. Don't worry, I can fix it. You wouldn't happen to have some tools with you, would you?
???: I always come prepared for something like this. Let me get them out of the trunk.
She then goes to the trunk of the car, coming back with a toolbox.
???: Here they are.
Alex: Thank you, miss...?
Asami: Asami. My name is Asami Sato.
Alex: Sato? Are you, by any chance, related to Hiroshi Sato? Founder of the Futuro Companies?
Asami: Yes. He's my father.
Alex: I thought this car looked familiar. I saw an ad for it from the Futuro Companies. It said it could go from 0 to 100 in 1.5 seconds. "Maximum performance. Maximum comfort." That's what the ad said.
Asami: That's right. And it's not a lie. I know, because I was the one who developed the project.
Alex: Impressive. Besides being beautiful, she's also intelligent. A great combination, in my opinion.
He said, immediately starting to work on the engine of Asami's car, without noticing the blush that formed on her face.
Alex: By the way. It's a pleasure to meet you, Asami. I'm Alex. Alex Cooper.
Asami: Nice to meet you too, Alex. Are you from here?
Alex: Honestly... I don't know.
Asami: What do you mean?
Alex: I... lost my memories. I can only remember my name.
Asami: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
Alex: It's okay. I'm used to it. But I'm still trying to get my memories back. {Or find someone who can help me with that.}
Asami: Well, I'd like to change the subject. What brings you to New York?
Alex: I woke up in a place not too far away. I thought about settling down here. Maybe I'll find something that will help me get my memories back. So far, nothing. But I don't plan on giving up.
Asami: I see... I understand if you don't want to talk about it. I won't bother you by asking.
Alex: Thank you, Asami. That's okay. I think that should do it. And I made sure the wire doesn't break again, so you'll be fine for now.
Asami: Thank you, Alex. Thank you very much.
Alex: You're welcome. So, where are you going?
Asami: I'm going to Stark Industries. My father plans on partnering up, so we can make the world a better place.
Alex: Cool. I hope you can.
Asami: Thanks. Say, would you like to hang out for a bit as a thank you for fixing my car?
Alex: Maybe another time. I don't want to make you late for your meeting.
Asami: Okay. But can I at least give you my number so that if you want to hang out whenever you want?
Alex: I guess that wouldn't hurt. Sure, why not?
Asami: Great!
Alex gave Asami his phone number so she could input his number, and since it was in Alex's new contact list, it brought a smile to the girl's face.
Alex: I'll let you know when I want to hang out, but don't make it like a date. Because we just met. Literally.
Asami: Oh, no, no... It's a friendly date. Nothing more, and think of me as your new friend.
Alex: I can accept that.
Asami: Great. So, where are you going, if you don't mind me asking.
Alex: Oh, the usual, just taking a nice walk around New York.
Asami: Well, I hope you have fun and it was nice meeting you, Alex.
Alex: Thank you. It was nice meeting you too, Asami. Good luck on your meeting.
Asami: I will and thank you again.
Asami then got into her car and started it, which was now running more amazing than ever and once Alex looked over to see Asami leave as he waved goodbye to her and she did the same. He went on with his day while smiling, because he made another friend. He soon looked at Asami's number, along with Mary Jane's and Madison's, on his cell phone. An iPhone Fold, which folds up just like a Gameboy, flip phone style.
He bought this cell phone along with a Macbook Pro, using the money he receives inside his Dungeons. Which he creates using the D.I. Creation and D.I. Escape Skills. At first he bought these Skills so he could train and practice his skills. To see how far he could go with them, and evolving them, if possible.
Cortana: Looks like you just made a new friend, Chief.
Alex: In less than a month, I already have three girls' number.
Cortana: Looks like you're a chick magnet, Chief.
Alex: Yeah. That's what it looks like.
Soon he continued walking through the city and as he walked, people, especially girls, whispered to each other about Alex, that they had never seen such an attractive boy in their lives, as well as those beautiful red eyes and strong arms, to which Alex paid no attention and just stayed alone until after many hours of walking he looked at the time and saw that it was lunch time and decided to find a place to eat something. Alex looked around to find something to eat, but unfortunately the food places had long lines, so he decided to go to the stalls and as he walked to find one, he saw one where he saw a girl who was buying food from the stall and went to see what kind of food the stall had.
Alex: Ooh, this stall has chicken sandwiches, my kind of snack.
He walked over to the stall and waited patiently for the other person to finish until he heard that the girl in front of him didn't have enough money to pay for the food she ordered.
???: I know I brought some extra money with me, but where did I... Oh no, I must have forgotten it before I left the house.
Food Vendor: Is that okay, miss?
???: Sir, I'm sorry, I just...
Alex: What she was trying to say, sir, is that she forgot the money at home, but I'll be more than happy to pay for her food as well as get her a chicken sandwich too.
Food Vendor: Sure, sir, right away.
When the girl thought she would leave on an empty stomach, she stopped when a random guy stopped in front of the stall and decided to pay for her food himself. This made the girl smile and feel happy and decided to go over and thank the guy who paid for her food until suddenly the guy known as Alex turned to meet the girl's eyes, making the girl blush at the pure sight she was seeing.
Alex: Your food is paid for, miss. So there's nothing to worry about.
???: Oh... um... I... thank you... I... I... really appreciate it... I thought I would go home on an empty stomach.
Alex: No need to worry. By the way, I'm Alex. I moved here a few weeks ago.
???: Korra... My name is Korra Southern...
Alex: That's a nice name. Nice to meet you, Korra.
Korra: Oh, thank you... Nice to meet you too, Alex. So, what brings you to New York?
She said as she blushed and looked at the attractive man in front of her.
Alex: I... lost my memory. I woke up a few weeks ago not far from here. I've been searching for clues to my past and recovering my memories ever since.
Korra: I'm sorry.
She said, feeling sorry for him.
Alex: It's okay. I've met new people, made friends and I'm enjoying every day.
Korra: That's cool. For me, my best friend and I moved here to get away from the craziness at home.
Alex: Where are you from?
Korra: Republic City.
Alex: What's it like? I've never heard of this city.
Korra: It's kind of like New York, but with a lot more people who never sleep and people starting trouble. A little more than New York. It wasn't working out for me and my friend, so we left and moved to New York to get away from that life.
Alex: Understandable.
Korra: So how are you adjusting to life in New York so far?
Alex: So far, so good and I'm enjoying the fresh air right now. I was going to walk around the city, and maybe buy some new clothes, but I decided to have lunch before I did anything else.
Korra: That's the one thing I hate, shopping for clothes. My friend is always taking me shopping for new clothes, and I already have a lot of them.
Alex: Hehehe it seems like your friend is trying to get you to open up more.
Korra: Yeah, but I think she's overreacting.
Alex: That's just the way it is.
Korra: Well, after I finish eating, I'm planning on going to the gym. Then I'll go to the court. Work on my basketball shooting a little.
Alex: Do you train and play basketball?
Korra: Of course I do. I go to the gym twice a week.
Alex: Me too. It's always good to stay in shape.
Korra: {I can see it. I have to admit he has some muscles.}
She said in her mind as she checked out Alex's muscles.
So, Korra and Alex received their food and went to a nearby table and sat down to enjoy their food. While they sat down, Korra told Alex about her life in Republic City as well as the friends she made there before moving to New York, in which Alex was enjoying the conversation with Korra as well as meeting someone new like Asami. So, after talking and enjoying the food, Korra looked at her phone and thought it was time to leave and go to the gym.
Korra: Looks like I need to go now.
Alex: I understand.
The two then exchange their contact numbers. In case they want to talk or hang out again sometime.
Alex: It was nice meeting you, Korra.
Korra: Same to you, Alex. I hope you can get your memories back.
Alex: Thank you, Korra. See you around.
The two then go their separate ways. With Korra unable to get Alex out of her head.
Korra: {OH MY GOD!!! THAT GUY WAS SOO HOT!!!}
She thought, as she blushed and smiled, since she had met a really cool guy.
Alex looked to see Korra leave and smiled when she saw that she had made another new friend and gotten information about the city called Republic City, thinking about visiting the place as soon as she had a chance.
Alex: {Well, time to find a clothing store and buy some new clothes. I could go to the usual store, but I'll see if I can find another one around here.}
Alex kept walking and went looking for a clothing store that had the clothes he would like to wear for longer, where he found a place called ZARA and when Alex entered the store and looked at the clothes that were on the shelves and hanging, he found what he was looking for and began to choose the clothes he liked, as well as buying some shoes to match the clothes.
After doing his shopping, Alex went back to his apartment. Which, in fact, was a beautiful penthouse, with a pool and everything. With a beautiful view of the city. With him being able to pay for it thanks to the money he earned with his RPG System.
As soon as he arrived at his penthouse, he put the clothes he bought in his closet. He then went to his living room and turned on the TV, which was on the New York news channel. There was a news story about a new exhibit the next day, at the New-York Historical Society, which would exhibit the supposedly "real" Excalibur. The legendary sword wielded by King Arthur.
Alex: Hmm. I read some books about King Arthur. I don't know why, but ever since I first read about him, I felt a connection with him. I think I'll go see that exhibit tomorrow. And I think I might ask Felicia to go with me.
He then turned off the TV and went to train a little in his Dungeons, aiming to practice the use of the axe/hammer he found in that warehouse. Which he discovered was called Stormbreaker. Along with the new Skills he received by fusing the ingots I got from the warehouse last month into his skeleton and his Aethranium Supremus shield, thus forming a new metal alloy, even more powerful. Being named UniMetallum. With this being, possibly, the supreme metal alloy.
Just a quick note. I know Korra looks good with long and/or short hair. I just think long hair suits her. I might make her cut it at some point. If I get enough criticism about it.
