Mentis continued his pace, even as the rain started to pour soaking into his jacket he had to make his way to the hideaway, it was a long trek from his home so he didn't know how long i'd take him to travel to that specific location across the city.
He travelled throughout the night stopping by a convenience store for a quick snack and a few supplies before heading off once again. his breath coming out as white wisps as he walked in the cold keeping to himself, most didn't bother approaching him or look his way, he saw faded posters on a few brick walls, too damp and faded.
He had eventually stopped and took shelter at a small hideaway area he knew of it wasn't the best but it was dry and had a bed so closing the small door he huddled inside the secret hideaway luckily there was some old blankets so he kept warm as best he could resting as he listened to the rain, he'd head out again soon.
Meanwhile Cari had since finished her lunch and coffee and had cleaned up, she was now fixing up a few of the weapons modding them to see fit, she didn't know how long she'd been tinkering for but soon she yawned and decided to head to sleep, changing into something semi comfortable she slept on her now warmer bed.
Mentis however fell asleep for a few hours before finally waking up again he peaked out from the small door the rain had lessened and the sun wasn't out yet he sighed and rubbed his eye before getting up and was on the move again, once more he blended into the night taking the rooftops if needed.
He kept on going nearing his destination, he paused at the number pad fingers against the cold steel, he closed his eyes and hoped the code hadn't been changed.
Taking a deep breath and with a shaking but steady hand he typed it in, a soft click and the door opened, he breathed a sigh of relief as he carefully stepped inside.
Cari was still sleeping at this point but was woken to the sudden noise of a small alarm someone had entered the hideaway, eyes wide she grabbed the nearest weapon a small pistol she'd modified and waited.
Mentis looked around it was surprisingly tidy, 'Did.. she clean..' he thought to himself his heart was racing he kept pushing forwards.
Cari heard footsteps upstairs but kept hidden in her room, '**** am I doing..I have a gun' she scolded herself and straightened up, unlocking her door she peaked out with the gun in hand,"DON'T MOVE OR I'LL SHOOT!" she shouted from her position turning on the lights she almost dropped the gun, a choked sob and small gasp left her pale green lips as she felt the first of many tears fall, "M-mintas.." she ran to him wrapping her arms around him and sobbed.
Mentis walked down the stairs and was startled by the sudden "DON'T MOVE OR I'LL SHOOT!" followed by the lights turning on he shielded his eye with his arm but lowered it when he heard a choked sob and gasp followed by a name he hadn't heard in years, "M-mintas.." and then before he knew it she was hugging him sobbing into his shirt.
"Cari.." he whispered his own tears falling as he held her in his arms unable to fully process what was happening and even if this was actually real he just held her as if she'd fade away and he would wake up alone again.
It was awhile before the sobs died down, he looked at her with a small smile,"I've missed you.." he said softly, "me too.." he heard her say before he felt her lips on his kissing him deeply she pulled back after awhile,"..so much.." she added breathlessly.
Cari looked up and took in Mentis's appearance, scars and replacement parts and his eye,"Mintas.." she hugged him tightly,"oh mintas...I'm.. so sorry..I.." , Mentis kissed her softly,"Shh.. Cari it's not your fault.., don't blame yourself it's my fault..I..strayed back onto a path.. I took and look where it got me.. practically blind in one eye,missing arm and an antennae.. Cari..damn it.." he cursed.
"I found you.. after all these years, I've.. found you again..and I'm not about to let you slip away from me.. again, Cari.. I never got an answer all those years ago, but i'm going to ask again, Cari.. will you.. marry me?" he looked at her with his lone eye.
Cari's heart skipped a beat and she almost forgot to breath, she looked at him with her cyan eyes and smiled as tears rolled down her face,"..Yes.. Mintas.." she finally answered,"It was yes all those years ago.. but I never got to tell you..and I regret not just saying it".
Mentis pulled her close and kissed her deeply tears rolling down his own face he pulled back,"I love you..Cari..i've. always loved you..let's run away.. from this city.. from this place.." he said softly.
Cari nodded,"Yes, but..first.. let's.. get you out of those wet clothes" she said with a blush.
Mentis chuckled softly,"Oh, already want me out of my clothes hmm~" he teased winking.
Cari playfully slapped him,"No, i mean..maybe.. but not like that.. not.. now.." she huffed still blushing a deep green.
Mentis merely smiled and picked her up causing Cari to squeak as she was carried to her room, and after of course getting Mentis out of his wet clothes did they both find comfort in Cari's old bed curled up with one another.
