It's 8:30 pm at the Deep Blue pub, the moon is covered by clouds and the rain pours like a monsoon, the rain drops pitter patter as they hit the windows of the establishment...Sabine sits at the public payphone, placing a call to her current home on Earth."I'm very sorry. I'm going to be late getting back tonight. Hm? Oh no, it isn't anything serious. We're all fine. A strange Earthling caused a false alarm. It's...A long story, but I've been at work all evening filing a report. You know how these redtape situations are Father."Sabine gave an exhausted, soft laugh, equally amused and annoyed by everything that has transpired."No, no. The lads under my command were sent back to HQ. I'm not going to make them do paperwork, they're fighters not pencil pushers."Anyone listening in could hear quite the loud laugh on the other end of the line. Evidently her statement was very amusing to them. The saiyan woman tapped the phone impatiently, wanting to know something specifically..."How is Kabu? He's not afraid is he...? I wish I could be there with him right now. It doesn't rain this much on Patch you know. I feel terrible that I'm not there to tuck him into bed. Listen, I really appreciate this... You're sure he isn't too much trouble? Of course not, but... ... Yes I know. He's already fast asleep? Thank goodness..."Sabine let out an audible sigh of relief."Of course. I will be home in a few hours. Good night."The saiyan commander hung up the phone,turning to look at the bar and giving the owner a nod of appreciation before stepping over and taking a seat."Well! I suppose I will have a drink after all."

The woman in teal was just lazy and kept her suit on. No need to change, none of that mess. She sighed as she stared at her glass of beer, 'Hmmm... Just what the heck was that strange guy? Seemed like he took the bait though when I revealed that squad Deathwatch was no joke. To be honest... I don't think they could have handled that guy...' Nexus thought about that ever since he vanished. Sabine made it clear that he was obviously a threat that was so high, it was needed to have help. Nexus spun her empty glass like a top toy, spinning it round and round. Yeah, she was easy to amuse for sure.
Though, it became rather interesting for Sabine to stick around. As the young lady was on the phone with whoever, Nexus just idly spun her empty glass. She honestly had nothing better to do. The bar was rather calm. There wasn't much going on besides the average pedestrian count. There was roughly under a dozen folks in the Deep Blue, respectably in their own spots. Nexus sat alone at the bar, sighing in boredom. This was pretty much the norm for her... She didn't have very many friends. It didn't help she had a gun holstered to her leg and wearing some sort of skin tight suit.
The rain was heard heavily above them as she rubbed her chin. "Lord... I'll be walking in that stupid rain..." she mumbled to herself as she leaned forward and continued to fiddle her empty glass. 'Things have gotten so strange lately. I'm starting to wonder if there's something going on. Especially with the saiyans losing their hierarchy to assassinations. It honestly seems like things are about to happen... But what is goin-' and suddenly, Sabine sat down next to her. Nexus gave her a small smile for her coming up.
"Ah! I'm surprised you stayed Ms. Sabine... Today was probably hectic for you. I apologize for all that mess that happened. Darkwatch aren't the most friendliest bunch but they mean well. Are you sure you don't need to go home to your little boy? I wouldn't want you to miss out on spending some quality time with him. This bar isn't exactly the type of place you'd wanna be at these time. People think you're looking for a hookup and I know you're not interested in hookups!"

Sabine gave a smile in return as Nexus looked her way. Nexus seemed...Tired, and that was putting it lightly. Sabine could understand to be honest. She felt exhausted, and really just wanted to take a moment to rest. Though she chuckled when Nexus said it was probably hectic for her.
"Honestly... I'm used to routing bandits and slaying warlords. It's a different kind of hectic dealing with the drunken debauchery of citizens. I never expected simple patrol duty to be so...Tiring. Those...Darkwatch, you call them? I've only experienced skill like that once before... ... And even then I don't think that experience could hold a candle to them. You don't need to apologize Miss Proudmoore. It was my duty to see that situation through."
Sabine shook her head as Nexus insisted she would likely be happier at home. She wasn't wrong, but... She had to give her son some breathing room too. She couldn't smother him forever, as much as she wanted to.
"He will be fine. My Father is watching him this evening. I do worry about Kabu, but I have to sort out some feelings before I can go back home..."
The saiyan woman gave a somber sigh, as her ordered drink arrived, she took a rather large gulp before setting the cup down with a quite audible "clack".
"I will just have to make up for being late by taking him somewhere fun. I understand Earth has many of those..."Theme parks" as you Earthlings call them? It isn't of particular interest to me but growing young boys do love mental stimulation like that."
Nexus went into a far different concern...Apparently the Deep Blue was a popular "Hookup" spot after sundown. Sabine laughed softly at Nexus' worry, shaking her head.
"I haven't been on a date since I was...Ohh, 20 I believe! I wouldn't be opposed to some companionship to be honest with you..."
She took another long drink as she realized just how DAMN LONELY she was. Oh not in the sense of having people around. She had her son, and she loved him very much! But Sabine was still a young adult despite her maturity. The fire of romance still burns in her heart. ... Although to Nexus it might have accidentally looked like Sabine just admitted to wanting an affair. Not that her late husband would really object considering he was...You know, dead.
"I despise these patrols to be perfectly honest with you, Miss Proudmoore. The morale of those under my command are low. We all want to be home fighting for our people, avenging our king. Not acting as glorified beat cops. ... No offense meant of course."
Another drink, another dejected sigh. She rested her elbows on the bar, plscing her head on an open hand as she watched the condensation roll slowly down her glass.
"They assigned me here 'for my safety'... Me! On Patch people refer to me as "The hero of kazak"! I think I am more than capable of protecting myself! But my son... I couldn't simply leave him to fend for himself when a killer was on the loose. If I die, who would raise him? It is already difficult enough knowing he only has one parent. I...Don't want to make him an orphan, Miss Proudmoore."
And there it was. The truth of her situation. Any misunderstandings of cheating likely would have been squashed in that moment. Another drink, this time an even longer one as she effortlessly finishes off the rest of the glass, and waves to the bartender for another one.

It seemed like Sabine really was a badass girl. Scaring off bandits and messing up warlords. That's some pretty cool stuff! Sabine was truly was someone unique. As she to told Nexus she shouldn't apologize, she shook her head and waved her hand. "Please, I just feel honestly bad. I think when I brought them guys in they scared him off. I guess that's better then chaos. I've got a lot of paperwork to fill out after I'm done here tonight. That's kinda part of the reason why I'm not drinking anymore," spinning her glass around once more.
Sabine would assure Nexus that Sabine was fine to be here and that her son would be fine. She wasn't a mother herself but she had to imagine that being a mother was important. Nexus never had a mother so she never understood motherhood or whatever. Hell, she'll probably never have kids. She doesn't feel obligated to raise kids of her own. Spinning her glass again, she'd nod at her. "Very well, ma'am. I'm here for you if you need ears. I'm not gonna be drinking so I'll be honored to take you home if needed." She told her this with a confident smile. She just wanted Sabine to feel comfortable around the detective. She's used to investigating and interrogating people but this was something different for once!
Sabine would speak of relationships and hookups to which... That made Nexus drop her jaw a little. Her face glows slightly red as she lightly lets off a 'fake' chuckle, "Yeah... I hadn't really had a boyfriend in like.... oh geez... Ha..ha..." She rubbed the back of her neck. Damn... Did she even ever had a boyfriend? Girlfriend..? Now that she thought about it, she's never had anyone in her life. Her job is her significant other. She'd sigh, "Yeah... I've been lonely all my life honestly... I'm honestly not that interesting. A lot of people call me a bitch because I'm by the book but.... eh. I take my job seriously." Nexus would spin that glass around once again, spinning it on and on.
Nexus would listen to her speaking about the downsides of the patrols. It sounds rather sad... The detective picked up real quick by her body language that she was not honestly happy with this situation. She didn't like doing these dumb patrols which the detective knew far too well herself. Nexus would pat her back and give her a friendly rub there as well, "It sounds rough as all get out... None taken by the way... I'll just give you citation for dousing us glorified beat cops!" Nexus laughed lightly, trying to cheer up Sabine. Nexus could tell she was going to spill more beans whiiiich... she does...
All the signals became clear when Sabine tells Nexus she was sent here to pretty much to keep her out of harms way. She couldn't leave her son there back at home but if she dies.... who would raise him? Nexus sucked her teeth very lightly, feeling this situation is completely awkward for her. She doesn't have kids... Nexus loves kids and will always be good to every kid! However... This was some deep stuff here. Sabine was very homesick. She didn't want to be here and felt so awful that she was thrown her without her will. The young detective sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Ms. Sabine... I know you're very capable of handling yourself and keeping your little man safe. I do want to say, I'd be happy to look after both of you and keep you two safe while you're on this planet. I... I guess I'm instinctively wanting to give you and your son the best hospitality possible. When that weird guy was going haywire on your men, I just felt offended. You're all guests here. I got respect for you guys... I just want you to know that..." Nexus cuts off, her face red.
Geez. Why was she being so nice to Sabine? She needs to stop picking that stupid scab and leave it alone. Sabine isn't into her probably. Nexus turned and looked at her, "Please don't call me Proudmoore. You can call me Nexus... Nexxy... Or just Nyx. It doesn't bother me. You're my friend now, not a suspect." Nexus would lightly grip her shoulder one last time and release her. Nexus's face was slightly red as she spun that glass.... God damnit, this suit was hot.

"Ahhh, paperwork...It seems we both have our fair share. Please don't feel concern. I am the one who made the call for backup. It was better he got scared away than for him to continue...Whatever his performance was. Perhaps most oddly though, was that I thought I was sensing his energy, but when I tried to do so again...I didn't detect anything at all. ... Is it really possible for someone to not have ki? I am not sure I even know the answer myself..."
Sabine's next drink arrives as she finishes speaking, and she listens to Nexus as she insists that she won't be drinking, and that she would be glad to give Sabine an ear to speak to. Sabine smiled softly as the detective lffered to help her home.
"Ara ara~... I see chivalry is still alive and well on Earth~"
Sabine teased Nexus in a flirty tone, picking up on just how shy Nexus was starting to get. She just liked listening to Proudmoore speak of her past, however little she had spoken of it. So her love life was...Lacking. Well, there was certainly no judgement on the part of the Saiyan.
"Not even one boyfriend Miss Proudmoore...? I wouldn't have guessed you swung that way."
The saiyan woman giggled as she looked at the detective, resting her head on an open palm, her face was very slightly flush, showing the beginnings of tipsiness. Though saiyans had a remarkable metabolism, she was still very far off from being full-on drunk. Still, as Nexus berated herself, Sabine placed a hand on the detective's shoulder, the saiyan shaking her head.
"I find you quite interesting actually. In matters of personality you remind me of someone I knew once...There is no shame in being dedicated to your work. For an imperial, being focused on rules and regulations means the difference between your allies coming home, or dying on a foreign planet. I don't believe I need to tell you which I prefer."
Sabine laughed along with Nexus as she gave the saiyan a hard time about citations and the like. Of course she wasn't going to drop it there without returning a joke of her own! She gave Nexus a very tipsy grin after taking a big drink of whiskey.
"I'm sure you give those to all the women you meet, hm~?"
Sabine was better able to relax after that exchange. She still felt an air of uncertainty here, but having met other people who were good natured made it much easier. In a way Nexus had a similar personality to her late husband...Straight forward, always aiming for the goal, not letting anyone or anything impose limits on her. As Sabine took another drink she could almost swear...She was talking to him again.
She listened calmly as Nexus mentioned wanting to protect her and her son, and feeling as though she owed some hospitality to them. She appreciated the gesture but honestly didn't want to say the wrong thing... She instead chose to continue teasing the clearly embarrassed woman.
"Oh my...Miss Proudmoore, are you coming on to me?"
Sabine continued to grin at the shy detective, clearly enjoying watching the poor girl trying to discover her feelings. The saiyan had been there before... She understood. Though, friends? Sabine appreciated that... And wasted no time in obliging Proudmoore's request.
"Very well Nexxy! You may call me "Sabi"! It's far more comfortable don't you think?"

"I don't know what his intentions were... I honestly didn't see him a threat. I can't sense people like you can or other special people. I have a hard time just sensing anything involving your ki. You figured that so many years of martial arts training you'd learn how to use it but... Yeah, I never could learn how to properly sense around stuff. I do wish I could.... Sometimes I wonder if it'll ever be possible for me. Who the heck knows..."
Nexus sounded rather sad saying that. She feels like she's missing out on a lot of things when it comes down to sensing stuff. Still, Nexus would try and feel a bit better. Sabine was rather interesting though. It sounds like these two had so much in common! It's kinda hard to believe it but... Nexus was starting to really crush on Sabine. She admired her for the simple fact that the two had a lot in common. Nexus would hear Sabine speak of chivalry which made Nexus smile. Her face had a slight pinkish tone to it from a blush.
"Hehe... I would honestly just say it's just mutual respect. I think you're very interesting person, Ms. Sabine... I just wanna make sure you're not gonna get hurt and what not is all..."
Nexus enjoyed that comment though. Sabine became a little flirty with her which riled up Nexus's tummy a bit. Butterflies smacked against her stomach walls as she would wiggle on her stool a little... Her pupils expanding from the sheer nervousness she was having with Sabine being such a cute tease to her. Sabine would even bring up the comment of not even having one person in her life? Oh boy... Nexus would try and say something! "Well... I... Ugh~!" Her voice cracked when she spoke.. Sabine probably would find some amusement in Nexus's body language. Nexus would shake her head and clear her throat.
"Well... I mean.... I've had some prior boyfriends in the past! G-Girlfriends... No... I find women rather amusing to stare at but... I just never had an opportunity to... yeah..." Her face glowed like radiation. "Those past relationships were jokes... They wanted nothing but sex and when I was always busy with my job they'd get mad and dump me... I'm just not meant to have guys in my life... I-I don't know..."
Sabine then starts talking about... ACTUALLY GOOD STUFF! Just hearing Sabine talk about how it's all important to be dedicated to her job and stuff was just absolutely incredible. She loved hearing Sabine's opinion and all which made the detective tingle more on the inside. Okay... Nexus officially had a crush on her. There's no way she could deny it. Someone who actually took pride in their job? Nexus would lightly lean close to Sabine, her face red. "Ms. Sabine... I really hope you can return home one day! I'm so sorry you're stuck here... I'm sure... You feel very homesick!"
Wait... Why the hell did she say that out of no where?! Nexus quickly pulled herself back and blushed immensely, "S-S-Sorry... just... feeling so nice talking to someone who gets me for once..."
Going onto Sabine with the joke about giving her citations for dissing officers here. Sabine would make a comment about giving women citations like this to which she shook her head quickly. "Oh, no, no, nooo! I-I do that with everyone! H-Ha..ha.." The woman was so shy around Sabine now. She adored her with a fiery passion in her heart. She just didn't know how to handle this right now.
Obviously the woman would give her speech about wanting to help her and her son and protect them both to which... Sabine would immediately throw a curve ball at Nexus... And man did this curve ball smack her right across the face!!! Upon hearing her joke about coming on to her. That was it. Nexus's face flushed with red as she spun the stool around and hid herself for a moment. "N-N-No... W-Why would I... try to get with someone as beautiful and.... amazing as you..." To which Nexus quickly jumped up and stepped on her own foot! "I MEAN! NO MA'AM! I'M JUST BEING COURTEOUS FOR YOU! YOU'RE A VERY NICE PERSON! I-I THINK I WOULD BE A TERRIBLE MATCH FOR YOU!" She spun back around her face sweating with her lips being puckered in. Oh yeah.... Nexus was terrible at hiding it. Nexus had a HUUUUGE crush on Sabine.
Sabine would smile, calling her Nexxy with Sabine wanting to be called 'Sabi' instead...
"Oh yes! Ms. Sabi- I MEAN! Sabi! I like it! I think it's rather cute-... I MEAN NICE! Haha..." She spun back around and wanted to slap herself... 'Okay Nexus... Enough is enough... Just be cool... Don't scare her away...'
Nexus would slowly spin back around, her face looking... normal for now. "Heeey... Why don't you and me get a drink? I'll drink something light but you can have whatever you want on me! How does that sound, Sabi..?" asking her in a genuine tone. She wanted to keep the fun going!

Post by Sabine on Aug 12, 2020 2:41:26 GMT
Nexus...Couldn't sense ki? But her power and training were both above average. Even the children of patch had high enough power levels to sense someone's latent ki energy. But if it wasn't one's power...Perhaps she just needed the right teacher?"Interesting...You know, if you can't sense ki, perhaps I could help? It is second nature to me. Teaching you should be nothing short of simple. You are more than strong enough to control your ki as it is."That was the simple truth of the matter. Nexus — in the saiyan's opinion was physically capable enough to handle it. But right now she could only theorize on the reason for the human detective's ki problem... It would take a more hands-on approach to reach the root of the issue. Still... Nexus seemed very immersed in their conversation. Sabine herself would be lying if she said this wasn't a relaxing conversation. The stress rolled off of her shoulders like a loose cloak. The saiyan commander laughed as Nexus expressed worry over her safety. She waved a free habd, trying to assure the detective."I have been through life threatening situations more times than I wish to admit. The criminals of Earth are nothing compared to the animalistic Sons of Paragus. My shoulders ached for a month after that last encounter...Though perhaps a story for another time!"Sabine merely gave a nod while smiling as Nexus told her of past relationships and love experience in general. It was rather adorable the way the detective hesitated. Rather than tease any further, the saiyan simply offered some advice."Love can be...Complicated. Perhaps you just haven't found the person who is right for you yet. Although respecting the flaws of your partner can be an important part of true love as well."Although she was surprised when Nexus leaned forward and offered encouragement... Wait, did she think-?"Oh no no! I'm not stranded here persay... Once this assassin has been aprehended, I and the rest of the empire stationed on Earth will be withdrawing. I suspect we will find our target within a month or perhaps two."It was a bold claim to make, but the traditionalist empire was doing everything short of razing the planet in their hunt for the assassin. If they were on Earth it was only a matter of time before they would be found. And time in this case was in short supply. With saiyans patrolling every square inch of the planet's major cities, this killer was running out of places to hide."Please, there is no need to apologize. I quite enjoy speaking to you as well! Our day to day tasks may be different, but our goals are much the same... Protecting our people and honoring those that made our home. We are servants of those who cannot — or perhaps do not wish to fight."Sabine downed another glass of liquor, looking at the now empty glass."...Although I do sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I had not joined the Empire...My enemies call me "Mother Demon" and I can only hesitate hearing this, wondering if perhaps I am wrong..."Sabine chuckled silently as Nexus practically tripped over herself trying to hide her attraction. Both jokes got quite a reaction out of the detective...Sabine was very easily aware that Nexus was quickly developing feelings for her. Truthfully she didn't mind. Despite her own thoughts Nexus was not unattractive. And Sabine always appreciated someone showing interest in her. It was a far cry from a fearful bandit insulting her by calling her that dreadful name. If she could just do away with the way some people viewed her, should would do so in a heartbeat."Yes...It is a very nice nickname. I much prefer it to...Others."She rolled the ice around in her empty glass, watching for Nexus's reactions. Seems she was offering to share a drink? Well the saiyan certainly didn't mind commeradery like that. She would give a nod."I would like that."She sets her glass down on the bar, immediately raising a finger towards the detective."But I owe you a drink in return sometime." Det. Nexus Proudmoore

Sabine would offer her an opportunity to learn how to sense ki! Nexus would lightly smile but shake her head, waving her as a signal of declining this offer. "As much as I'd love to learn... I've had the finest masters attempt to teach me this... I simply can't learn. It may be a defective thing in me... They say I'm truly strong in power but... Eh... I'm not too worried about it. I may have plans come up.." She said, spinning her empty glass once more to signal her being much calmer now then before. It took a lot in her brain to calm down from that... Craziness of liking Sabine but she'd lightly calm down. Sabine would go on to mention that Earth's criminals are nothing more then weaklings... The glass spinning stopped... Nexus would sigh lightly. She wasn't mad at Sabine for that, she honestly wished that was true...
"You know... I think for the most part you're right..." Nexus would admit.. She'd adjust herself on her seat. "However, I happened to come across someone... Stronger then I anticipated. White male, white hair, meathead looking dude... He was ripped or something... I had a file on my desk one day about some crime lord who claimed that West City was his domain and all... Supposedly beaten a boy up at some fight club and nearly killed him to the point they dumped him outside a manhole. When someone found him, he was mysteriously dead. When I went down there to investigate the manner, he immediately refused to answer me. He came at me in the pit and started fighting me... The fight dragged on for a minute before he started fleeing the scene when my backup arrived. He claims he's innocent the whole damn time despite him running, fighting, and resisting a law enforcement individual. He claimed that cops are stupid pretty much and useless... Blah blah blah... When we were going through all that, I had a feeling something wasn't right. Maybe he was just some dumbass that really did beat him up but then had his goons drop him off somewhere. I almost let the case go..."
Nexus would spin the glass once, staring at it as it spun... She was really starting to master this. "However, upon him getting away from me, I had almost dropped it with him.... Until..." She slapped the top of the glass, completely stopping it. "He decided to pull a ballsy move and attacked one of our police helicopters. He threw a manhole lid at it, crashing the it, but then at the last minute decides to save the pilot...? This doesn't make sense... He must be bipolar or something. I think he wanted to send a clear message he's not as bad as he seems... However, he was probably intending to kill that pilot. He just realized if the pilot would have died, he would look worse then what he was... So, he's on my list of wants. He's wanted now and the next time I ever see him, it's either we talk or we fight and I drag his ass in."
The conversation went cold for a moment... Nexus was clearly bothered by this case. She didn't like the fact Asmo wasn't consistent with this... He would act then change his mind. It was a mess... Nexus adds one final detail to this... "The worst part about this..? I don't even know the bastard's name... I call him 'The Mysterious White'. The bastard needs to answer for what's done.."
Nexus gave off a heavy sigh, the conversation now shifting towards more positive feels. Nexus wasn't going to be squishy for a bit... She had to pull her emotions back after talking about that conversation. Romance came up and Nexus lightly gripped the glass... She felt a little sad that she was... well lonely and that slightly struck a nerve. Not that Sabine meant to...! Nexus was just stressed after having those thoughts of Asmo coming back up happened. Gripping the glass, Sabine could see the glass crack a bit from her frustration. Nexus would try hard to keep herself in control. "I really hate that I haven't found anyone. I'm tired of being looked at because I've got a nice butt and nice boobs! Yeah, seems all nice and all but a girl wants someone who likes her for who she is and respects her job! I do this career to help people!"
Nexus came off wrong when she said she had hoped for Sabine to return home. Nexus knew she wasn't stranded here or anything. She was just.. "No, no..! I meant like... I hope you can return home soon when this whole ordeal is figured out! I know you're not stuck here or anything but you seem partially stuck here because of these assassins. You seem very homesick and I felt really bad that you're feeling this way. I sincerely hope you do get to go home soon!" Hopefully that cleared that up. It seemed rather confusing Nexus had to admit.
Looking over, Sabine seemed bothered by her nickname being 'Mother Demon' or something... Nexus would try and lighten the mood despite that damn conversation about Asmo.. "I think you need to be renamed to 'Mother of the Year' because you're honestly the most caring mother I've seen with her kid... Just saying, you take pride in that boy." She signaled the bartender to get drinks up to which he did... A beer came towards Nexus and another drink of Sabine's choice came. Sabine would make a comment about owing her a drink to which Nexus would decline with a head shake. Well... Since they brought up the point of Love and Romance, there was an opportunity right there for something to maybe work..?
"Instead of that... Why don't we go out to eat sometime...? Maybe... A date?" Nexus would shoot at her. Nexus was calmer now... Maybe those heated chemicals from Asmo caused her not to be flustered now! Nexus would aim a smile at Sabine.. "If I'm gonna get butterflies for you and you being aware of that. I might as well shoot that question at you!" she teased towards Sabine... Though being genuine on the request!

Sabine was a little surprised by Nexus's answer. Oh she didn't mind the answer of course! What Nexus chose was a path only she could decide on, and the saiyan always respected that kind of thing. Still...Settling for less? She had to admit to herself that there was some concern there."Are you certain? I could perhaps investigate the cause if you would like? I understand you are fine with what you have, but I can't help but worry I suppose. I have never met someone who cannot feel the energy around them. I must admit it is a conundrum that confounds me."The saiyan commander was a little taken aback as Nexus dropped everything she was doing and began to speak regarding Earth's criminals...She had her own stories it seemed. She WAS a peacekeeper on Earth so it stood to reason she would. But then she mentioned her rival — A crime lord. That title...It immediately caused Sabine to lose all emotion in her face. She stared blankly albeit slightly seriously as the detective relaid the experience she had in that underground fight club, and the destruction of a helicopter. Sabine slammed her glass down on the bar, almost shattering it."I have to know something. Were there others onboard this..."Helicopter"? How long has he been active? If someone deigns themselves a lord beyond the law then I must put an end to the tyranny. This..."Mysterious white" reminds me of the many who claimed entire worlds under their jurisdiction."She paused for a moment, looking down at the bar and then back up at Nexus."... All against the will of the people of course. They always use terror to rule...I will never tolerate power through fear so long as I live. It is those lords who have taken so much from me. From my people."Her expression never changed even once as she spoke to the detective, it was clear from her tone and what she was saying that she took crime seriously when it was on a seemingly large scale like this. Entire fighting rings, crime lords, mobs...They had different words, but they followed the same paths as the tyrants, bandit leaders, and hidden cults that plagued the empire. In the opinion of this saiyan, they needed to be purged."If I see him, I will bring you his head. You have my promise."... Rather blunt, but she was a saiyan after all. Although hearing Nexus's own glass start to crack snapped the commander out of "Mother demon" mode. She cleared her throat, listening to the human detective speak of love troubles, of beimg looked at for her body rather than her better features...Unfortunately Sabine didn't have much experience there. People tended to either respect or fear her too much to comment on her body...She simply shook her head in response to what Nexus was saying."You certainly have your physical positives, however...I must admit I'm far more enamoured by your pride."Yeah yeah typical saiyan things. Pride this pride that. But...For a saiyan to admire someone else's pride was a big deal in their culture. Being respected for your position either as a warrior or a leader of the people...It was perhaps the greatest sign of respect a saiyan could deign to another.Homesick...Yes Sabine supposed in her mind that was a correct way of putting it."I'm worried for the fate of the empire. There is no more king, and as far as I am aware he had no heirs to the throne...We have many strong warriors who would likely be willing to take the throne, but they're not the ones I fear..."Sabine takes on a far more somber expression as she looks down at her glass."The empire isn't wholly good. The many you have met are volunteers and thus have pride for their work. However back home there were more than a few who wanted more than just pride. — They wanted fortune. I can only hope that none of them take the throne before we can return to Patch."She smiled softly as Nexus complimented her on the way she raised her son. She did always try her best to teach him the right things."I cannot deny that...He is my greatest pride. I will always support him no matter what path he chooses for himself. I can only hope that when it comes time for him to make choices like that, that he will be prepared for them. Maybe all mothers worry about this for their children...But these are strange times we live in. Things aren't as simple as they were when I was a child. I would like to find a second parent some day to help raise him...A single parent can only give so much love to their child, I feel he deserves the stability that two parents bring."Sabine accepted the new drink, taking a sip of it before placing it back down again. She certainly knew how to down these things...Her eyes widened in surprise as Nexus delivered a big question. A date...? Sabine smiled, looking over at the detective."Yes...I think I would like that very much."The saiyan chuckled as Nexus made jokes at her own expense. Det. Nexus Proudmoore

They were about to wrap up the discussion on her ability to not sense ki at all. Indeed, it was somewhat a curse but it wasn't the worst curse out there. What mattered to her was the fact that she could honestly fight. She may not know how strong some opponents are but hell, that didn't matter to her! She would lightly shake her head at her, obviously declining the offer one last time. "No, no... It's all good. I think I'll be fine. I appreciate it though!" Giving the other woman a firm smile as to assure her that she was fine. The two seemed to be having a good time up until the topic of Asmo comes up with sours the mood it seems.
Sabine was going a little whack with the questions. She didn't like this guy one bit off the descriptions she gave. Who could ever like a guy like that anyways? Sabine was very ruthless about this whole thing. Going as far as to mention bringing her his head. Nexus's eyes would go wide as she would be bombarded with the questions. The part of bringing her his head would make her jump, her hands extending out as to halt her. "Whoa, whoooooa! Easy there! Yes, he's a very hostile man but bringing me his head isn't no better than what he's doing. Easy, Sabine..." Nexus tried to ease Sabine. It was worth getting upset over but they were in a relaxed environment. Nexus really didn't want to stress her out that bad.
"He's been around for awhile from what I've gathered... There was only one person on the helicopter luckily so no one got hurt. There's no need to get his head though... Locking him up and throwing him behind bars will do just fine if he refuses to answer for what he's done."
It was a moment to be mad but eventually it would all calm and this was when things were getting interesting! She would smile at her comment, "I appreciate you saying that! It makes me feel good to know you like who I am! I take a lot of pride in my job!" Nexus would go back to spinning the glass like a top again. It was that time again to chill out. Sabine would be concerned about the status of the throne... It sounded like anyone could probably get it right? Nexus would throw her suggestion in.. "Why don't you become the next ruler of the people since there's no one to take his place? Your strong, powerful, wise, and capable in my opinion!"
Upon getting her drink, she'd grab it and chug a bunch down... Mmmmm... The beer was good! Motherhood was discussed and Sabine seemed really proud of her son. It was pretty neat to hear her talk about her son, expecting him to go far! She would smile, "I'm sure he's gonna go so far. He seems like a pretty good kid... I honestly don't ever see myself having kids. I just can't seem to grasp the whole 'motherhood' ordeal. Oh well..." she would shrug.
At last, the topic of a possible date came to be... Her stomach became flustered as that went... Surprisingly well! She would sigh in relief and smile, "Dang... That was easier then I thought!" Nexus sounded very happy about this. She would look over at Sabine, giving her a rather cheeky smirk. "So what would you honestly like to do? There's a lot of things we could do... I'm just so happy we could do something! Perhaps a dinner? A park? Amusement park? It's all on me!"

Nexus's reasoning was...Strange. She didn't want his head? But he was a wanted criminal correct? She even suggested that just putting him in a cage was enough! Sabine was beyond confused by this."I am not sure I understand. If he is left alive there is room for his influence and power to grow. Would it not be better to simply be done with him before he can create more issues?"The saiyan woman nodded to Nexus, she was quite beautiful as a person rather than as a model. She had her flaws, but she was a very respectable person. Although then she spoke of the throne, suggesting that Sabine take it...No, no no no Sabine looked quite upset over that."I could never simply take the throne. I am not a ruler, despite your kind words I have not the makings a good ruler should. It was...Someone else who would have jumped at the chance to take the throne."Sabine went from looking upset at the start of what she said, to sad once she had finished speaking. She took a very large drink of her whiskey, finishing the whole thing as she sat her glass down with a thud.... Besides I respected the king far too much to ever trample on his legacy."She looked at Nexus as the human spoke of not really understanding or being interested in motherhood...It brought a tinge of pain to the saiyan's heart to hear that. Certainly she understood and respected Nexus's stance. But if she was averse to being a parent...That defeated the entire purpose for Sabine seeking a new mate."I...See. Yes he is a sweet boy."She gave Nexus a smile, one that hid some emotional pains. She wasn't going to speak of her concerns to the detective. Not here, not now. She simply listened to Nexus speak of date destinations...And tilted her head in confusion."I do not understand this last suggestion. What makes the park amusing? Is this where Earth comedians gather?"... Sabine still had a lot to learn about Earth culture. Det. Nexus Proudmoore

So this seemed very... very bad. Nexus would look at Sabine's face when she told her Asmo deserved prison time over death. Sabine and Nexus appeared to have different thoughts on that as she sat forward and would hopefully explain the situation a bit more. "I'm not against killing someone doing something horribly wrong... See... In my own opinion, being sentenced in a enclosed environment... Dealing with other assholes... And having to survive on the very basics of things is the worst kind of punishment. Death is the easiest way out of anything. You killing that bastard would give him a free ticket into a long and miserable life behind bars. After he dies... Well, our creators will decide his fate and make his soul suffer longer BUT I'm in favor of being him a trial for hell if he's truly a guilty bastard."
Hopefully by clearing that up Sabine would better grasp the reasoning behind Nexus's imprisonment method over a sentence to death. However, the next subject would change Sabine even more... Upon mentioning the throne should belong to her it was like she just struck a nerve... Sabine's demeanor changed all the sudden which kinda scared Nexus. Nexus felt really awful for even bringing that up as her emotions were mixed with that one. Nexus would inhale a bit to try and speak but quickly silenced herself. 'Great... Here I thought I was being kind.. Maybe I was too kind..' thinking to herself as she grabbed her own drink and ended up downing the whole thing after Sabine drank all her whiskey. She tapped the table, "Give me a freakin' heavier beer please..." Saying in a sad tone.
Nexus felt awful for bringing that up. However, that didn't stop... Nexus would gather from Sabine's body language that she didn't understand the picture what Nexus went through as a kid... Well, why she didn't grasp motherhood... As the drink slid her way, she grabbed it.. "He's a very sweet boy... He has a beautiful mother and one that loves him very much..." She quickly gulped once with her new heavier beer, placing it down. Sabine could probably notice this now bothers her. Nexus looked at her glass, sighing very lightly. "When I was born... My mother died of childbirth... I never even knew what she looked like. I was described about her but my father was such an asshole... He refused to show me pictures of my mom..." Nexus's eyes began to water up but Sabine could easily tell she was bottling up these emotions. She's bottled them up all her life actually..
As Nexus sniffed her nose to clear it, she continued. "See... I never really had a dad either... Every time I came home from daycare, I'd do the sweetest things for that man... I drew pictures of us holding hands and going to a park... He grabbed my picture and literally ripped it up in front of me and threw the bits of paper at me and told me I'm a MISTAKE." She gripped her glass, the glass cracking up like a spiderweb. Damn sure was tough glass... She quickly took a major gulp, slamming that glass down with half an empty glass. "He'd hit me... Yank me around in public... Yell at me... All this crap! If he could have made the decision between my mom or me, I'd be a goner! He only kept me around because that was my mother's final wish... It was her wish for him to raise me... Tch! He did a SHITTY job at it! He didn't even fill in good!"
By that point, tears ran down her cheeks as she tried so hard to hold it back but it was too much... She looked away from Sabine, "Just... Give me a minute... I'm having a stupid crybaby episode..." She'd let off a few whimpers, trying to clear herself up... The drank slowly slid to her front as she gulped the rest of her drink down... She was facing away from Sabine for a moment to gather her emotions. Nexus felt bad because she didn't want to square up on who was more of an emotional bitch here. She had this bottled her entire life and admitting it out for the first time that she had a rough start in life was very tough. Finally, as she wiped the last bit of tears away she turned back around with a pair of glossy red cheeks from her tears.
"That's.... why I never grasped this whole concept of parenthood... I never had parents. I tried so hard with my dad but he threw it all back in my face... When I got a little older before I hit my pre-teens I ended up being picked up by a martial arts group that fostered kids in troubling homes... You could say I was adopted out when my dad was one hundred percent okay with me leaving his den.." She sighed in relief as that all came out... Perhaps while on this subject, she'd clarify things with Sabine...
"I know this seems very, very, veeery early to even discuss this kind of thing but... I could tell in your eyes you're confused by my opinion on having a child... See... As I said, I never had parents. I don't want to give birth to kids... Heck, if we ever got super close and we ended up taking it to another level with our relationship... I wouldn't want to be Kabu's 'parent'... I'd love to take care of him and be there for him and I guess... 'raise' him if that makes sense. I just want it very clear here... I love kids but THIS..." she pauses and motions her own whole body to demonstrate herself. "This is not giving birth to babies! I don't want to bare babies... Just saying!"
Hopefully that didn't sting Sabine... If Sabine understood that Nexus was willing to raise the boy and even accept him as her own in some way then perhaps that would be fine... As she sniffles her drippy nose she'd try and change the subject back to their date... Her face red still, "It's... it's got mechanical rides and games.. and candy... and all sorts of stuff! We gotta take Kuba sometime... He'd absolutely love it! Maybe we'll save that for a day with Kabu or something... perhaps a more dinner date would be appropriate?" Nexus tried really hard though. With that statement, she wanted Sabine to understand she was willing to involve Kabu as much as possible.
Nexus just prayed that Sabine wouldn't lose interests in her.

Nexus's way of viewing punishment towards damgerous criminals was interesting and gave Sabine greater insight as to how humans viewed things. It was...A lot to think about. But Sabine didn't respond negatively like the human might have been anticipating. Instead the saiyan woman spoke up as she watched Nexus drink."Interesting...I suppose I never would have viewed things in such a way. I will need to think about what you've said."And then Nexus complimented both Sabine and her son. Bringing a cherry red blush to her cheeks. Beautiful...? She sadly didn't have time to process that compliment, as Nexus began to relay her past — Something she likely never told anyone. Her mother died at Nexus's birth...? It brought a measure of shock to the saiyan...She reached out and placed a hand on Nexus' shoulder as she began to cry, telling her difficult childhood. Sabine didn't stop her, or speaking up, or share empty sympathy with the detective. The saiyan waited for Nexus to finish speaking, and finish having her moment to herself. So she never got to have parents growing up...And what her father did...It made Sabine furious. — But right now wasn't the time for anger. The motherly instincts the saiyan woman held kicked in and she got closer to Nexus, pulling a handkerchief from her pocket. A nice clean cloth handkerchief with cartoony bears and dinosaurs depicted on it. She began to very gently wipe the tears from Nexus's face, and then held the smooth cloth to the detective's nose."Here, here. Blow into this."With the impromptu clean up finished, Sabine smiled gently at Nexus, pocketing the handkerchief and clasping her hands together."How do you feel...?"Sabine sat silent for just a moment to allow Nexus to explore her feelings after that. It was a lot to take in but it went quite a ways towards explaining why Nexus felt as she did. The saiyan listened as Nexus finally went into explaining why she didn't want kids, nor why she didn't want to be Kabucha's parent. She held a much more understanding expression, although she could only partly agree."As you have said it is still far too early. Perhaps you should get to know him better before you make rash decisions. I don't think you will have to worry about babies if you pursue a relationship with me however."Sabine chuckled, it wasn't exactly a thing two women could do together, so it was some small amusement to the saiyan woman."I know that little Kabucha is quite fond of you. I suppose my stance is that...Children need the love of two parents to be raised in a stable environment. I will not ask you to become his parent. But...I would quite enjoy that if you did."Sabine chose not to press any further. Nexus clearly needed time to think, and it was far too early to talk about parenthood."Machines that you can ride...? Yes I believe he wpuld be wonderfully excited by such a thing! However...Yes for a first date it is probably better that it is between the two of us. A dinner date would be excellent."... At this rate Sabine was going to have to walk Nexus home instead. Not that she minded Det. Nexus Proudmoore

It honestly seemed like at first the two didn't come to an agreement over the parenting thing at first but it finally would settle in a stalemate. Nexus had a moment to think to herself about POSSIBLY being the boy's second parent. Nexus really had to take this slow after all. Sabine and herself are still very new to this relationship so perhaps bringing up being the boy's parent was a touchy subject. However, it's worth noting in her mind it was still something worth bringing up because honestly... It probably would have been a major clash in the future if she didn't bring this up. Sabine would have offered her something to blow in to which she'd take. Sniffles. Blow. Sniffles.... Everything was getting better.
Sabine would ask how she felt. Nexus could easily tell the subject of her father made Sabine mad... Nexus tried to play it off because her father was a whole different topic to talk about with Sabine.
"Much.. Better.. That's not something I'm very open about... Please keep that between us. It could turn around and bite me if the wrong ears get ahold of that."
The detective seemed extremely firm about that. Like Batman's parents being a subject to avoid, Nexus would never tell this to anyone.... Sabine was one of the very few to ever probably hear that... An honor she'd hand the young saiyan lady. Sabine would bring up parenting in this manner to which was where things became understanding and agreeable. Nexus was actually starting to have a clearer head in this matter. Sabine thinks this was all just a rush of things to which Nexus would nod in agreement buuuut.....
"Honestly... If we were to ever move forward with anything in our relationship and go even further... You may change my thoughts on being his parent... I do absolutely enjoy the kid and I thought he was the cutest thing when I found him. I've always wondered what it'd be like alternatively to raise a child... Heck... Maybe one day have one myself!... Though that's clearly not possible... I mean I don't have a... Yeeeeaaaah!"
Nexus started laughing about that. She actually found it more funny to her the fact she was more open to this since Sabine calmed her down a bit. Maybe Nexus is a sucker? Maybe Sabine is just charming her? Who the hell knows but one thing's for sure... She really has the feels for Sabine. Pushing all the awkwardness she had with her aside, she'd take the tiny cloth the saiyan had and would grip it.
"Well... Wouldn't you kinda say this would be our first date Sabby? I mean... Me... You... Together at a bar. I can kinda say this is our first 'unofficial' date."
Nexus would smile so comfortably at her. The mood was coming back in now.
"I'd love to take you both out to one regardless... I mean obviously I'd have that date with you but I'd include your son on the fun day."
Nexus would adjust her stool and get comfortable a bit... Perhaps now it was the best time to ask some... interesting questions.
"So... I'm honestly surprised you taking me up on... well... being my girlfriend...-ish? I'm... actually fairly new to doing 'dates'. I've always cranked handcuffs on criminals and threw them away for a long time. I didn't really expect myself to have a date with an attractive girl from out of this world.... Literally..."
Nexus would tap the counter... More drinks were on the way... More for Sabine though. Less for Nexus... It was time for some water.

"Erm...Of course I must apologize for being so forward regarding parenting! I am aware we have not even had a single date and so such things are a far off concern! But I am simply being honest up front with my intentions. I shall deign to hold off on any further discussion until such a time if this relationship should work out."Her apology aside...Sabine was glad to see Nexus starting to feel better. It was quite a difficult moment for the detective...Sabinr certainly couldn't blame her. It surprised her however that Nexus wished to keep the matter private. The saiyan woman did not object to the human's wishes, instead simply nodding."Your secret is safe in my hands Miss Proudmoore."Sabine listened to Nexus stumbling through her parenting opinions, eventually laughing playfully as the detective cut herself off to avoid embarrassment."You are nothing if not pragmatic Miss Proudmoore."Sabine watched the detective's strange gestures. It seems poor Nexus had fallen in deep over all of this. And as Nexus grioped the hankerchief tightly she said something rather surprising."Oh? Well I am not familiar with Earth's style of courtship, however with all things considered...Yes I suppose this is indeed a date! A rather improptu one, but the best encounters are those that happen by chance. Wouldn't you agree?"Sabine smiled warmly as Nexus charmed her with generosity. It seems she really was intent on taking her son along on an outing."I am certain he would love it. He loves seeing new things. He's...Very explorative. It can be hard for a mother to keep up with a boy his age after all!"The saiyan's face was flush as the alcohol set into her system. She was amused as Nexus attempted to explain how she felt, but of course Sabine was still able to gather the meaning."Admittedly it is a new experience for me. I have...Never been with a woman before. But we will certainly give this courtship a try! I can only hope that I may live up to your expectations. Courting a potential mate is...Far different from prosecuting law after all." Det. Nexus Proudmoore
