Ava gave the man a weird look before he hid. She jumped when the door was opened and some men walked in. "W-What are you doing h-here? Get out o-of my warehouse!" She yelled at the men coming in. She may not know the man who was hiding but she could tell he and these men were not friends. Plus she did not want the people in her warehouse.
"Lookin' for a tall young man. He ran in this direction." One of the men raised in a gruff voice
group
"W-Well I haven't s-seen anyone! Get o-out!" She yelled, trying to shoo the men out.
"I guess you wouldn't mind us searching this lil' ol' place." He replied
group
"N-No! G-Get out!" She yelled pointing at the door. "Y-You have no r-right to be in here! Get o-out!"
"You are hiding som'in ain't ya?" He said in a threatening voice.
Ashton heard the mans voice and sighed. He escaped through a window and yelled "hey ugly! Over here!" Waving his arms. The man saw him and growled "get 'im!" Ashton laughed and ran away from them. Making sure they were far enough, he made a U turn and started running back to the warehouse to hide.

Ava stepped back when the man growled at her. Her head then whipped around to see the man who tried to attack her run out with the men close behind her. She sank to the floor, trying to calm her nerves.
Ashton came back inside, panting "I…am sorry…about them." He said, voice cracking
group
She saw him run back in and began to back up, breathing heavily. "W-Who are y-you?" She stuttered.
"The name is Ashton. I need a place to stay for the night so I'm crashing here. So excuse me and goodnight." He said, doing a 2 finger salute and walking over to where he hid his bag
group
Ava sat their a moment, trying to process what just happened. She got up slowly and walked over to Ashton. "W-why were th-those men after you?" She asked him.
"I took a few things from them. Rich men who love making fools out of those less fortunate." He sneered
group
"Y-Your a criminal?" She asked, staring at him. He didn't look like one. Wait. Would he try to steal her inventions?
"Not a criminal! God, why does everyone say that?!" He mumbled
group
"W-Well you are breaking th-the law." Ava pointed out.
"Well, if those 'big men' steal, it's called business, but when we take back what is ours, it's called thievery or criminal activity." Ashton muttered, angrily taking off his shirt and changing into another
group
Ava drew in upon her self a bit. "W-Well you can s-stay…at my h-house for a bit." She offered. "I-Instead of…well…in m-my warehouse."
Ashton did a double take "are you sure?"
group
Ava nodded her head slowly, now starting to think what trouble she could be getting herself into.
"Fine I guess I'll stay." He shrugged, picking up his messenger bag
group
"Oh! O-Okay!" She said looking very surprised. "F-Follow me." She said as she walked over to the ware house doors and began to push it open.
Ashton followed closely behind her, Making sure to keep a hand on his bag
group
Ava lead Ashton to her house. She was shaking the entire time from what happened earlier.
"So…where are we going?" Ashton asked, looking around
group
"M-My house." She said, quickly.
"Qell yeah, but where is it?" He asked impatiently
group
"H-Here." Ava said as they rounded a corner to show her house. She walked up to the front door and opened it.
Ashton sighed and walked inside. "So. What exactly am I doing here?" He muttered to himself
group
"Y-You said you n-needed a place t-to stay." She said, now starting to regret inviting a man she barely knew into her house. What if he tried to do something? What would she do?
"I did? Oh yeah, I did." He muttered. He sighed and smiled at Ava gratefully "i apologize for intruding and i thank you for your hospitality. Is there any way to get up to the roof?" He asked
