Athena scratched the back of the dog’s ears and nuzzled their muzzles, she enjoyed animals. She had found that she could see their thoughts, but it was strange, she only understood their base thoughts like hungry, tired, angry, and right now happy was on their minds. However, when the two dogs suddenly stopped and returned to their master’s side they thought, stranger. 

The teen stood up and dusted the dog hair from her shirt and pants, she could tell who it was before seeing the young man walk up to the entrance. Athena was grateful that Ashley had train her dogs so well, having them start barking at the arrival of James would have been a bad start at a budding friendship.  “Ah- h-hello…James,” the teen started as she crossed an arm over her chest as a nervous reaction to the newcomer. She didn’t know if she should use their names or their hero alias, so it was a bit awkward.

“Oh, please come in. I have prepared some snacks and drinks for everyone as we introduce ourselves…” Athena says becoming increasing aware of her awkwardness. The teen leads the pair further into the lobby where Matt is still working.

“Welcome, Wildheart and Knight, to Wayward Manner. Please take one of the communications devices as a gift of friendship.” A computerized voice says as the three pass a table where there are four devices that look like smart phones. A sphere like drone flies into the lobby from the staircase that leads up to the rooms, the drone then produces a light that shines down to the ground and it starts to take the form of a human female. The hologram girl shows the appears of a girl with short blonde hair and ethereal blue eyes and is wearing a white unitard.

“Hello, I am Guardian, but you may call me Aliya. I am an artificial intelligence that was programmed to learn and replicate human interaction. I am currently being utilized by my creator as an over glorified maid,” The holo-girl says with as much attitude as a hologram with a monotone voice could muster.

“Enough, Guar- I mean Aliya. Just show them how to use the phones…” Matt says impassively as he stepped out from around his work table. The teen was wearing a navy blue V-neck sweater vest and a white dress shirt under, he also had black skinny fit jeans and black laced up boots. The teen looked like he was on his way to a business meeting. 

“Very well master,” Aliya says causing Matt to put his palm over his face at the word master. “This communication device is much like the newest Queen Industries smartphones that has been set to release later this year, though as Matthew is the original creature he has made a few just for you all, how very exciting.” She says holding up a hologram of the phone. “Now, this is the first phone that will be released to the public with holographic features, though, in all honesty this tech is rather dated compared to the augmented reali—” Matthew snaps a finger and the holo-girl blinks off leaving the drone to float away. 

“My bad, she’s a bit much…never let an AI tune their own personalities,” Matt says stepping in. “Just slide the phone open to access the phone the rest is pretty self-explanatory once you start playing with it.” He says trailing off as though his mind is somewhere else. “Oh, umm My name is Matt, it’s nice to finally meet you both properly,” the teen says as he snaps back to James and Ashley.
