"Chris?" Ink asked incredulously. 

"Yeah, its me. So, no need to start getting defensive" Chris said as she set the helmet down on the handle bars. 

"Where'd you even get this?" Ink asked, motioning to the motorcycle. 

"I've always had it. I just had a very good friend hold on to it for me" Chris replied, patting her motorcycle. 

"And that good friend is me" said a female voice. 

Ink turned around to see someone standing in a doorway. They stepped out into the light of the garage, and Ink saw another girl. 

She had light brown hair that had braided black streaks in it. Her eyes were a mint green color and her skin was a darkish brown color. 

She also had black biker clothing. 

"Who are you?" Ink asked. 

"I could ask the same of you" the new girl replied. 

"Guys, guys, let's not fight" Chris said as she hopped off her ride and walked over. 

"Ink, this is my friend, Samantha. Samantha, this is Ink. He's a co-worker at the Justice Reigns" she said. 

Samantha hummed a bit. 

"Is he your friend?" she asked. 

"Yes he is" Chris said in a reassuring tone. 

"Okay then, he's cool. Now that we got that covered, girl comere" Samantha said before walking over to Chris. 

The two women hugged each other, happy to be reunited with each other once again. Samantha then pulled back and held Chris's shoulders. 

"Still rocking the suit I see" she said, looking Chris up and down. 

Chris simply shrugged in reply with a small smirk. 

"Alright, now come on, let's go say hi to the others" Samantha said before she let go of Chris and went back through the doorway Ink saw her come out of. 

"So, who is that exactly?" Ink asked. 

"Samantha was a really good friend of mine back when I was living in Technotale. She and her biker gang picked me up when I first stumbled into this AU. They practically raised me and were always there to help me out when I needed it. Now, I consider them family. So you better be nice" Chris explained. 

She zipped her biker suit down a bit, revealing the black spandex bodysuit underneath as she walked towards the doorway. 

"Come on! They're all pretty good. Just don't get them mad" she said, tying the arms of her biker suit around her waist before stepping through the doorway into the nicely lit home.

Ink let out a sigh before he followed her into the place. He instantly emerged into a short hallway. 

"Okay, now where do I go?" he muttered to himself, looking around. 

He whirled around when he suddenly heard excited, shocked, and happy shouts, along with happy laughter. 

"Alright, so just follow the shouts and laughter" Ink said to himself before following the noises. 

He emerged into the living to find Chris in the middle of a tight group hug. She was starting to turn a little blue in the face, but she looked happy nonetheless. 

"Alright! Alright! Guys let go before you all suffocate her" Samantha said, chuckling. 

"No way! I haven't seen my girl in forever!" said a guy who was hugging Chris from behind.

 His eyes were a deep purple color, his short hair was artistically shaved, his ears held a couple piercings. He had on biker clothes too. 

But his jacket was tied around his waist. Ink did NOT like the way this guy said 'my girl'. 

But he didn't want to interfere with Chris's apparent reunion with these people. Chris was simply chuckling. 

"Aw Joseph! I missed you too!" she said as she untangled herself from the guy's hold. 

"Now what are these rumors that I hear about you having a new boyfriend?" she asked. 

Ink blinked in surprise. 

Boyfriend? 

"Guyyyyyys! I wanted to tell her that!" Joseph whined at everyone in the room. 

Everybody just responded with giggles and chuckles. 

"Hey Chris! I never got to ask, but, who's the skeleton?" a girl piped up, jerking a thumb over at Ink, making the attention in the room turn to him. 

Ink awkwardly waved. 

"He's a good friend and co-worker of mine from the Justice Reigns Organization" Chris answered. 

"What's your name?" Joseph asked. 

"Ink" Ink replied

Chris then yawned, making everyone aware of the late hour. It was almost midnight. 

"Alright ya'll. I'm off to bed" said one of the girls in the room as she walked off into the hallway Ink had come out of. 

Chris walked over to him. 

"That's Aria. She's the baby of the group, from what I remember" she said. 

Joseph and another guy who had the same dressing style walked away, hand in hand. 

"The guy with the piercings is Joseph. He's gay. I'm guessing that guy's his new boyfriend" Chris told Ink, who nodded in understanding and secret relief. 

Chris then pointed towards two girls who were sitting on the long couch. 

"Those two are Jessica and Kyrie. One's Les, the other's Bi, don't remember which one's which, both dating each other" 

Chris then looked over at a guy who was standing next to Samantha. 

"And that guy next to Samantha is Jake. He's her boyfriend. And quite the party animal"

 Chris looked back at Ink. 

"There are a few more people in this group, but I haven't seen them yet. I'll point them to you if I do" she said. 

Ink nodded, showing he was following along. 

Chris now looked over at Samantha. 

"Hey Sam!" she called. 

Samantha looked over. 

"Where'd you put mine and Ink's stuff?" 

"Oh, I already had it moved off to your bedroom" 

"And where's that?" 

"Come on, I'll show you" 

Samantha brushed past Ink, who gave Chris a confused look as they started to follow her. 

"Did she say bedroom?" he asked. 

"Yeah, there's too many people living together, so, we usually share a bedroom" Chris explained. 

She said it rather casually, but Ink could see the blush starting to form. His own cheekbones were, admittedly, starting to heat up at the thought of sharing a bed with someone he liked. 

Samantha led the two to their bedroom and patted the door. 

"Here it is. Night' ya'll" she said before turning and walking away. 

Chris and Ink both went into the room and she turned on the lights. It wasn't bad at all. 

The room smelled slightly of lavender and had a very soft and dim blue light in the corner. Both Chris's and Ink's bags were sitting on the bed which was a queen size that was sitting in the corner under the blue light. 

Chris started digging through her bag, pulling out a loose black t-shirt and black leggings. 

"What is it with you and the color black?" Ink questioned as he looked through his bag. 

Chris shrugged. 

"Dunno. Its one of my favorite colors, so... I guess that has something to do with it?" she replied. 

There was a small, but bright green flash, and Chris now stood, wearing the loose t-shirt and leggings while holding her original outfit in her arms. 

"You can do that?" Ink asked incredulously. 

"Yeah. Always have been able to" Chris replied as she neatly folded her clothes. 

There was a knock on the door and Ink opened it. Samantha was standing there. 

"If you guys need anything, let me know, alright? And Chris, I'll take those off to the washer" she said. 

Chris handed over her clothes and Samantha walked away, closing the door behind her. 

"She, seems pretty nice" Ink said. 

"Yeah. Samantha's practically the mother of the group" Chris said as she set her bag on the floor beside the bed. 

She then hopped into the bed and out her hairband, letting her hair fall. 

"You know, in almost two years that I've seen you, I don't think I've ever seen you with your hair down" Ink said, staring a bit. 

"That's because I usually like to keep it up so that it doesn't get in the way or anything" Chris replied, now snuggling beneath the covers with her back towards Ink.

He got changed and turned out the lights, using the soft blue light to find his way through the room. He got into the bed with his back towards Chris. 

"Night Ink" he heard Chris mutter. 

"Night" he responded before letting sleep take over...
