First putting away his katana, pretty sure he wouldn't need it anymore that night, Deadblood extended a hand to Sheri, helping her up off of the floor. Then walking over to one of the freezers, he tried to open it. Finding it locked though, he focused in on the lock with the borrowed power, forcing it so that he could open the door. Digging around inside of the freezer for a moment, he pulled out a bag of frozen vegetables and handed it to Sheri, the freezer door closing behind him.
"Use that. It'll help with the swelling." he said, leaning up against the freezer door before continuing. "There's a lot of benefits to be had if you join me. What I've gotten myself into with CW, with Alex Arcane, is something much bigger than the company can ever hope to be. It's not just about the power that this 'shiny, freaky belt' has to it. If you join me, us, you won't have to worry about the company because you'll be protected."
Pressing the bag of frozen vegetables at the lump, Sheri replied with, "How will I be protected though? Do you really believe that the company won't find a way to get to us eventually? Especially you.. You're the one running around with CW's shiny belt around your waist. The further you stick your head out there, the easier it'll be for the company to chop it off. If I join you, then my head will be out there too and I don't want it there. You might want to taunt the company and pretend you're untouchable, but I value my life."
Shaking his head, Deadblood pushed himself off of the freezer door and began to slowly pace, before saying,
"The risk is far less than the gain. Yes, the company may still send someone out after us, but even if they do, they'll stand no chance against us. I have this belt and we both have our own weapons. Alex has things that we could probably use to our advantage too. I saw them when I was at his office. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but his bodyguards are armed with some kind of special weapon. Some kind of gun."
"Even if you can get your hands on one of those guns, do you have any idea what
the company is capable of sending out after us? Surely you've heard the rumors of the super soldiers they've invested in. They're supposed to be bigger, stronger, and faster than anyone they currently employ. Doesn't that thought make you question what you've done at all?"
Shaking his head again, Deadblood stopped pacing and looked into Sheri's eyes before saying,
"And I've also heard that they're several years away from being able to mass produce those soldiers."
She looked right back into his eyes and responded with, "That's besides the point. If they have the ability to invest in something like that, doesn't it make you wonder what else they might have hidden up their sleeve? Who or what they send for us is going to be guaranteed to tie off all the loose ends. Arcane, you, and myself, we're now all loose ends."
"Maybe we are, but there is nothing they can send that will be able to tie us off. What you've seen me do with this belt tonight is only a fraction of what we could achieve together with Alex. If you join us, you'll be on top of the world and not the sliest fucker will be able to knock you off of it."
Deadblood waited to see what Sheri would say or do next, hoping that was enough to convince her that with he and Alexander, with CW, she would indeed be safe from
the company.
