February UC 0084 Granada
Sigstein was venturing down a sidewalk that ran along a bustling street in the city of Granada. This was one of the largest cities on the moon, second only to Von Braun City. It was also where Zeonic, a major manufacturer of mobile suits for Zeon had been located, though they have long since been merged into AE and their facilities here in this city now belong to AE as well. This city was also where Kycilia Zabi had her headquarters located. Sig viewed the city with interest, curious eyes gazing over the building fronts as he made his way via foot down the planned streets. This was his first time on the Moon, and his first time in a place that was tied so closely to the Principality of Zeon. At the moment he was making his way down to a former Zeonic Facility now owned by AE, the reason for which was that he was taking it upon himself to see if he can source parts for the Act Zaku. The Captain had no doubt gone through a lot of trouble netting them sanctuary here, though there were probably a lot of sympathizers to their cause here. Sig at least assumed this was the case, though sort of felt like they were hiding in plain sight. Regardless, after having been hiding away on that Colony so long, this place was new... it was interesting.
While he was taking in the sights and sounds along the way to the AE facility Sig took pause. A feeling, a pressure that seemed familiar to him came upon him. The last time he had felt it was at the colony. It was Fatima... there was no mistaking it."Did she find me?" he questioned turning his head in her general direction. Then, he set off in a quicker pace ducking into an alleyway wanting to put as much between himself and her as possible. Doctor Matthäus would have sent Fatima off to go and enjoy herself as he had a business to attend to. He would not divulge what that business was and was incredibly insistent that she go off by herself for the time being. He would ring her where and when to meet up with him. Coincidentally this meeting was in the very same city.

Fatima was not very pleased when she learned they were going to Granada. Her master might have told her to go out but she wasn't a very social type of girl and would have preferred to lock herself on her room until she felt Sig's presence. With her master gone and nothing planned for that night she would venture out, following the boy's psychic trail. Granada was not her kind of city, too many shady characters out on the street which meant she also had to keep an eye out as to avoid horny jerks or muggers.
For an 18 year old girl she carried an aura of utter dread which seemed to kept unsavory characters away. That stern look in her face showed anyone approaching her in haste could end up injured, however she couldn't let her guard down here of all places. There were also Sig's other friends she was worried about. Ideally they would want to ambush her so she kept some distance from the boy, moving quickly and out of the open line of sight.

After traveling through an seedy yet quiet alleyway Sig would stop and wait around a corner. He could feel Fatima growing closer and closer to him knowing that she was for certain hunting him. Sig breathed out, his eyes locked on that corner shifting back and forth as he reached into his cloak. 'Not this time...' he thought to himself as he pulled out a combat knife. He gripped it in his hand and then glanced over his shoulder before looking forward again. There was no way he was going back to the same situation without a fight.

While it was obvious she was trailing Sigstein, this time around it wasn't Fatima's intention to openly confront him. Rather she was trying to find out where the rest of his friends were. She saw his bravado and that he wanted a direct confrontation with her but she wasn't interested in playing by his own rules. Patience favored the huntress, getting herself comfortable behind the shadows of a rundown building, keeping Sig at the very edge of her maximum sensory detection range.
" You want to play games then so be it! We'll see who gets tired of this shitty town first." She would transmit this message to the by telepathically. Right now the city itself was as much of a threat to them as their own sworn enemies.
The 18 year old cyber newtype still carried her concealed carry piece with two full mags. More than enough to massacre a crime cell though she would have preferred to put a few rounds through the Zeon assholes their test subject had been hanging up with. Naturally, she also kept a tactical Karambit close by though that was mostly for defensive purposes.

Sig took pause at receiving her transmission and wouldn't reply for a moment."What do you want with me?" He questioned transmitting back, peering around the corner."Do you plan on trying to kidnap me again?" he questioned curious. He noticed that she was camping a fair distance away. She had saw through his plan to ambush her. He gripped his knife a little and despite her rather over whelming presence he was curious about her."I dont think I've ever met a newtype as powerful as you before..."

" My master has made it clear he wants you back, I am merely enacting his will. Personally I care less about you and more about your troublesome friends." Seeing the Zeon remnants come to Sig's aid greatly enraged Fatima last time. She'd come so close and would have gotten her way had it not been for their meddling. Fatima's newtype abilities were top but her mind was ravaged completely in the process of acquiring them. All she cared about was Casar's validation and whoever interfered with their plans had to be disposed of.

"Why do you care for him so greatly?" Sig thought back to her curious but furrowed his eyebrows."I dont want to ever go back to being his test subject, and I fear what he has in store for me should you capture me again." Sig thought back to them wanting to make it clear he had no intention of letting what happened last time happen again."I also wont let you hurt my friends for HIS sake. We fight on because our cause is just... can't you see that?" Sig questioned but moved on."But..." he paused thinking of something."If you care more about my friends right now..." Sig thought letting his curiosity get the better of him."Will you attack me or try and capture me if I come to you?" he said listening and feeling for the slightest hint of deception."I dont know why... but you..." he began to think but stopped. Her aura had a darkness to it, but was powerful and a sort of attraction that he was curious about.

" That's none of your business, you brat!" Fatima was not going to go to great lengths to explain her emotional dependency of Casar. The broken cyber newtype was certain of only one thing in life being that the Doctor was the only person that truly cared for her. Even though it was rough going at ties she was certain that the man who made her into the woman she was today was truly in love with her.
" if you come bring that man with you so I can put a bullet between his eyes." This next thought carried an ominous aura. If Cornelius showed up she wouldn't hesitate to put an end to him. Since Cornelius was an oldtype she was unable to sniff out his presence from this far. The building from which she was hiding was a good quarter of a mile away.

Sig sighed at her flat out refusal to discuss or truly respond to either of what he asked. She refused to speak about her relationship to the Doctor, and she refused to answer his question of if she would attack him, instead electing to threaten his friends once more."I'm not bringing my comrades to you to get shot..." he would send back to her as he stood there for a momemt."Why would I do that?" he questioned."I'm sorry about my previous question..." Sig said having not expected that reaction."I just wanted to understand." Sig would think back."o want to understand you." he would think glancing down to the ground."I would like to come and meet with you on better terms... but it sounds like you just want to hurt me."

Fatima remained quiet as she approached though he would no doubt feel her getting closer. She would come out of a street corner in front of Sig, those eyes fixated on his.
" Here I am now." The raven haired girl would respond using her actual voice, her hands raised to let him see that she was unarmed. Using the mental link made Fatima uneasy at times, especially when there were more new types involved.

Sig had felt her growing closer and closer, and even though she had not said it directly he got a feeling. He stayed there waiting, though his Knight now put away and would watch as she rounded the corner announcing her presence. Sig didnt say anything for a moment as their eyes locked onto one another. He studied her for a moment, she wasnt in a Titans Uniform, and she came to him unarmed. He didnt sense hostility as she stood there, and so he breathed out a little. His eyes going from somewhat scrutinizing to curious. They slid along her form before he finally spoke out."Here you are..." he said quietly."So..." he started glancing off to the side then back to her."Your name is... Fatima right? I remmember it from before..." he paused thinking it over."I dont think I ever met someone like you... not even back then..." he was curious about who she was... what she was.

" There are some matters I prefer to talk about in person. There's no telling who might be listening in to our telekinetic link." Fatima seemed aware of the existence of other newtypes amongst the Zeon remnants.
" Fatima De Leon, yes. I know about you too, Sigstein. We have a lot in common you and I. We're what you would call the next step of human evolution." She would turn to face the boy, walking up towards him.

Sig eyed her over as she approached but didnt back down not feeling a need to as he stood there his curiois watching eyes upon her."Newtypes." Sig commented in response. Newtype theory was well known to him, the name of the theory coming from Zeon Zum Deikun himself."That is what we are." He said with a small nod as he looked up at her a little."I dont think I have met someone as..." he paused his senses practically blinded by her aura encompassed by it as she had grown so close."Powerful as you?" he shook his head a little."What did you want to tall about?" He questioned simply."I think I have some for you... after..." the curious young man seemed unable to take his eyes off her. He was intrigued, and a bit nervous despite not getting the direct feeling she wanted to harm him.

" To be completely honest with you I don't know why my master is so obsessed with you since he already has me. Our abilities should be on par yet he insists you are the missing piece he is looking for. You've already made it abundantly clear you won't come back so I see this as a pointless struggle I have no desire in continuing." This alleyway wasn't the best place to discuss such matters so she would walk him out of there.
The two would continue the conversation over at a cafe table. The girl would order a cup of coffee for herself along with a light meal. Even in a rundown place like Granada they were able to find a clean looking place.

Sig would sit at the table having simply gotten some water and some eggs."I dont know why." Sig said resuming his conversation earlier trying to think it over."When I was originally transferred he was incredibly upset that his experiments on me were ending." Sig paused looking at Fatima."Our abilities are not on par... I think your abilities are more refined or powerful..." Sig said taking a sip of his water."I think maybe... Maybe his obsession lays with proving his theory? That he can make me stronger? He wants to be able to show the power of a newtype can be controlled or... refined? Maybe part of it is a grudge." Sig said with a shrug."But his ways of doing things..." Sig shook his head."Your desire to not continue will not deter him. All that will is if he is proven right."
