Lucy was in a the transit rail. She looked at her targets analyzing their chips and cyberware and how much those chips can go for.
She saw the most defenseless one's. She had hacked their information without them knowing seeing their data. She quickly got up, not suspicious at all and walked behind the man reading a book. She quickly made the chip from the man's neck to gravitate to her palm.
Lucy then sat down like normal. Stuffing the chip in her pockets, Lucy found another victim and did it to them too. As she now was in another carriage.
(Wow, so my Lady Lucy is a thief?)
She heard him chuckled making her smack her lips.
'Yeah I'm a thief, something wrong with it?'
(Nope)
She felt like he would tease her.
(Just that I don't judge what you do, not completely that is, but if it's how you have to live then oh well)
Brushing it off as if it's nothing big to be bothered with, Ace found it amusing. He then saw Lucy find another target as her eyes glowed, she had hacked into their cyberware to make it easy to have their chips eject at the exact moment.
Lucy stood up and quickly snatched another man's chip from their neck. Sitting down quickly like nothing happened.
(Smooth)
Contemplating her, Lucy smirked as she knew of her skills being this good. She then saw a bigger guy, she quickly hacked him and his information.
She frowned, because he had wasn't an easy target but it wasn't going to be a huge challenge.
(Oh~? Such interesting display of your power.)
'It's hacking.'
(You must show me what this world is about.)
Ace wanted to know if it came from her mouth. Lying wasn't an option, Lucy didn't see this as a loss.
But wanted to be smart about it.
'That's if you will you increase the time I can call for you and have you protect me?'
Ace had explained to her the cons of using him as a bodyguard. He isn't 24/7 protection, as she could only summon him to protect her for 1 hour straight. After that, theirs a cooldown of 2 days, and it isn't to bad.
But, he would still be available to chat, and that way she can still get help by his words. Though she never really had the experience of how he would help her out, when she can't even have full protect all day, every day.
(Hmmm....Alright then it will be 3 hours and every 3 days for the cooldown.)
Lucy smacked her teeth, though it wasn't to bad.
Ace had an amused smile how she was negotiating such information about the world for some extra time of protection.
Lucy then wanted to soon test this bodyguard summon of hers.
'Protect me Ace.'
(As you command Lady Lucy)
Every time he said that when referring her made her feel good. A little happy smile showed for a second on her face. She then became serious as she was going to snatch this buff man's cyberware.
She slowly walked and for some reason as she was about to extract the chip. She did so, but someone instantly got up and made the chip fall. The buff thug looking man sensed his chip not inside his neck.
"Hey! You fucking thieving bitch!"
He swung hard, as she quickly dodged but the swing knocked a random man out. Sending him flying through the window, as she quickly ran away to the next cart with the chip in hand.
"Come back here!"
Lucy escaped as she found the train stop and she got off running away. Instantly, the big man a hired mercenary one of many called his brothers.
She ran passing people who saw a big man chasing her. She quickly got to a more crowded area. Trying to loose him in the sea of people. As she turned to an alleyway, it was fast and quick. He had men already in the vicinity as unlucky for her she didn't know he would have a netrunner. Quickly their netrunner tracked the chip of the mercenary thug.
Finding Lucy, as all six of them surrounded her. Instantly, they raised their guns at her. She pulled out her weapon a whip. She clicked her tongue, as she was going to take cover.
(You're not to worry.)
Ace appeared behind her, as she felt his presence.
*BANG*BANG*
She didn't flinch but braced herself because his words made her feel like she wasn't in danger. The bullets instantly disintegrated. Lucy blinked, it felt like everything was going slow motion.
She blinked again and turned to Ace as he made them move move and slammed them to the walls. They all coughed blood, only for him to tap the ground. A giant monster mouth came from the ground swallowing the huge man who was to shock to even move and say a word.
*gulp*
The monster disappeared, Ace then waved his hand as shadow hands grabbed the other's bodies even the netrunner hiding. Who gasped, as she was dragged into a dark portal.
Lucy saw it, she couldn't believe it and she wouldn't if she didn't just witness this now.
"W-Wow...."
"Well? I hope you use this 3 hours wisely."
Lucy was confident to escape, as long as their netrunner was as skilled as her. Maybe end up with just a small injury but that's it.
She then tried to rack her brain with ideas. She felt this be so surreal, she thought he wasn't going to be this strong.
"I will."
She then grinned feeling it all sink in. Maybe she just hit the jackpot, as she told Ace what she will do next.

"Then it was a nice haul, hope you're happy."
"I'm."
She had a satisfied smile, Ace then looked at her one more time.
"Don't get to greedy."
"I know better than that."
Lucy may had let greed get to her a bit these past 3 hours. She just couldn't pass up the chance how each time she stole, she was able to not have problems with no one. She had a haul of money who she turned it to the Doc for some money.
"Well, I'll end it here."
Lucy had fun and when she saw him disappear. She felt slightly down, she didn't know she felt this way. She did some stupid shit which he didn't care but helped her execute it without problem.
(Don't show such a long face, it will not make you look pretty.)
Lucy huffed hearing his voice, but she did enjoy conversing with him. Even though he is being secretive about his identity and powers. He can do things magically which she or anybody can possibly do.
She felt safe around him, and felt like she could do anything without trouble.
'All sweet talk.'
She let out a smile, and went home.
