He looked at the other girls and then back to Storm, "Look, I'm not here to scare you or blackmail you. I simply want to prove that I'm trustworthy… I know you've heard of me, I know you've heard what I can do,"

(It's Storm, not Stormy. Wrong chat and wrong character!)
"And seeing as how easily you recognized me, you've heard of me too. It takes a lot for someone to prove they're trustworthy to me. So sorry sweetie, but you're going to have to do better than that." Her face was stone cold and stern.

He stepped toward one of the other girls, he moved quickly to hold both her hands behind her own back and keep her in a chokehold, "What do I need to do to prove myself?"

"Let go of my sister!" Talia kicked him in the crotch. "Yeah, letting go of Cali would be a good first step." Storm laughed. Talia has always been protective of Cali and vise versa. One does not simply threaten one of the Lanes sisters.

Neal took Talia by the arm, twisting it causing her to fall to the ground, "Don't touch me," he looked back to Storm, "I have taken down the FBI's SWAT teams single-handedly, 6 of you won't be a problem. I'm not here to make an enemy of you, I'm here to make deals."

"Well, I already told you we don't want your deals." She hissed.

"Fine, fine, you'll regret that later," He smiled and winked before going to walk away.

She locked her jaw. This dude didn't know her. He didn't know that her image of men had been permanently ruined by the man she had been forced to call her father. "Honey I don't regret things."

"I'm sure you don't," He said with sarcasm as he walked down the sidewalk.

(They're in a back alley. He'd have to at least go behind a building or two.)
She watched him walk away and sighed. "I'm so sick and tired of people underestimating me." "Aww Sylvia! Don't worry about him. Besides, we've got something worse to deal with. We need to get the hell out of New York. Someone from one of the other gangs tipped off a police officer. We've got to move." Cali said urgently.

The smell of cigarette smoke stuck in Matthew's nose, god he hated that. Smoking makes you look weak. He made a face as he walked down the street hoping the police followed the lead he gave them.

"Really? I was just starting to like it here. Okay then. I knew this would happen." "It always does." Lucky sighed. "Alright. Then to Maine, it is. Come on, the train leaves in 15 minutes. We'll make it." They all nodded and started their journey down the back alleys and secret paths to the train station.

(YEET!)

Alexa walked out of her room to see Matthew, "Hey Matt. What's up?"

Matthew loosened his tie but gave up and took it off instead, "Not much, just enjoying the city," He smiled turned his attention away from the window.

The 6 traveled until they reached it. Inside, no one recognized them. "Six tickets to Maine please." "Oh, here you go dearies. Stay safe!" The old teller said. "Thank you!" They all said in unison, taking a ticket and practically running to catch the train. They hopped on and the train left. "There. We're safe. For now." They all relaxed in a compartment. As they all fell asleep, Storm watched out the window. She had just started to fall in love with New York, and now she had to leave. She sighed. "Love is pointless when you know it won't stay."
