Holly folded her arms, giving a somewhat goofy smile to the Shademon. Her ears flicking lightly as her calm demeanor wasn't lost even now. The fact that they had missed the comfort of such a 'warm' spirit; Made her rather happy. A low rumble could be felt in her chest, was she purring?
"Most of them were pretty sour about things if memories right..."
The meicrackmon stuck out her tongue and let out a soft snicker. She'd shake her head and wag a single finger at the shademon. The irony of this situation wasn't lost upon her and the meicrackmon's eyes twinkled a bit.
"Maybe not in the same way you'd think, but there are places you could strike to maximize effectiveness at a regime that just started and you know that. But... that's somewhat surprising that they wouldn't even try to use you..."
Holly turned her head to her Da, you would think that they would of been against it but... She'd bite her lip and chew at the inside of her cheek. Iris' answer sufficed and she really didn't have to add to it. They knew that she was an academic student? Well yeah they would keep track of old members especially one so young... The meicrackmon stretched a bit and her grin from earlier came back full force.
"True true... wh-"
The meicrackmon's eyes flicked up to the floorboards and without even hesitating she was already turning off the light. She'd make to grab her da's hand and pull him deeper into the place. She knew a few really good ones and hopefully before her da would speak she'd put a finger to the beastmon's lips. She'd take them quickly to one of the many spots that they could hide, though the beastmon would find that their daughter was hugging them tightly against her body.
Her core was beating a mile a minute and there was an edge of worry in her mind...

Just a creak was all it took to put Iris and Holly on guard - and it didn't take 'da' long to follow right along, moving with the MeiCrackmon deeper into the hideout. Iris blended right back into their shared shadow, and the three waited in silence. Above, the floors continued to creak... and they'd soon hear voices carrying from right above them.
"... See? What did I tell you? They skipped town weeks ago." The voice of a tired Angemon echoed down. "Besides, are we even sure this was the place?"
A more gravelly voice snapped back: "Oh please, this place is too clean! Basement and up, not a trace left of anything. Anyone normal would have left a scrap of something-"
"Alright, Mr. Paranoid, but how much longer are you going to slip back around here? You've swept this place through and through, and they got nothing to be back here for. Now c'mon..."
The two voices above would prattle on, and just as quickly as they arrived, they would leave right back out through the front door. A few long seconds later, the Beastmon gave a relieved sigh - and glared to the shadow. "And what - is she supposed to inherit a place they're checking out? What if they tie it back to her?"
A fair question. As for Iris' answer? "You'd have to ask Boss his logic. I stayed here exactly because it was dangerous."

Holly stared up at the cieling, her ears straining and flicking as the angemon's voice echoed down. It was not one she recognized and she was pretty sure it wasn't oathgard. The gravely voice spoke up and she'd narrow her eyes slightly; she'd have to remember these two voices. If she ever ran into them out and about well... It might bode ill. She'd turn her head to her da, giving him a gentle squeeze on the arm and once they left the meicrackmon leaned up against the wall her arms folded.
"I wouldn't ask boss, it wouldn't rightly make sense to a lot. But considering I have the paperwork to justify ownership of this place luminas probably will think little of it. Or a lot of it."
She'd shrug and mull it over flicking her ears, after a few moments she'd grin ear to ear.
"Besides i have time and energy to renovate this place a bit... make a lab. They probably won't question why a student would buy a place like this. It'd be cheaper since the area it's in. And to tie it back to me they'd need some kind of evidence. So we make sure there aren't any to tie back~"
The meicrackmon waggled a finger and padded along, going to where she knew the record room was. Depending on what she saw there she'd act accordingly. If it was empty well she wouldn't be able to do much... but if there was anything left over well... She could use it for her own projects or information.
Especially information that could be used to bite a particular demon...

"Holly..."
The Beastmon gave a sigh, following along as she led the way to the record room. Before, this was how the group plotted their maps and laid out their plans, but now? A bookshelf remained, within it various city plans and layouts (as well as a few more neutral buildings), but that was it. None of the mark-ups or work remained. Well, not that Holly would have really needed any of that stuff to make this a lab.
Taking a brief look around the room, the doctor would speak up again. "Holly, listen. This... alright, its a rare property to get a hold of, this deep in Luminas, but you have to understand the risk. Someone showing out of the woodwork with a deed? For all you know, those two are already tracking ownership records. You can sell this place in a blind sale, get an official of Terminus to write off on it, and then wash your hands clean of the whole thing."
It really could be that simple. But then again:
"Honestly, this place is the only one I got left. Holly, your dad is right about the risk - but there should be nothing against you. Your record, at least, is above water."

Holly mulled it over for a bit and considered all the information laid out in front of her. Her eyes sliding back and forth in the room they were in. Her da made a rather strong point but so did Iris. Her hands placed themselves at her sides and she'd consider it for a long time. Not really moving as she mulled it over. Even going so far as to break out something from her infini storage; a bottle of water that she'd offer to her da or iris after taking a drink.
"That's why I won't be coming out of the word work with it. Instead I'll approach luminas and explain the entire situation to them top to bottom."
A clean slate, one that she'd wipe across the board with honesty. She wanted to be a doctor and there was no interest in her being an assassin here. She'd rub at her chin; looking at her da for a few moments.
"I have no connections with anyone other than Iris here. If he stays hidden long enough they wouldn't be able to find them and in a gesture of good faith I could give them the various city plans and building plans; information that they could easily already have but use if they needed it for something or the other."
The meicrackmon waggled a small finger and grinned at her da.
"And I can tell them, that I'm interested in being a citzen of their city as well as a doctor that calls this place a home of hers. Considering who I'm the daughter of I think they'd be crazy not to at least think about it. And if I'm in danger well... I have someone that can help me get out. Isn't that right Iris?"
The meicrackmon turned her eyes to the Shademon, the warmth and trust in those eyes far surpassing that of anything else that the shademon would of likely run into with the angels around here...
"Because. If there's the slightest chance they ever found something in the future they could use it to ruin me and my reputation I would of built up at that point. Here and now I don't have one to speak of. I'm just another mei to them. But I'll be better than that. I'll show them I can be."

Holly was willing to take that much of a risk?
Hearing that the Meicrackmon was not only willing to go right up to Luminas, but to explain the entire situation to them, was enough to make the Beastmon blink. The entire idea sounded outlandish. Could it work? Did Holly understand the risks? Or was this just a matter of the doctor's daughter putting such ideal thinking out in front again? She pictured offering them the maps, the drawings, and even explaining her own role in all this.
The doctor bit her lip, looking on as the Shademon 'nodded' and slipped right back into the feline's shadow. Holly did bring up one good point at the end, a reason to put everything out in the open.
But was that enough?
"... You're a young adult, I said that earlier..." Almost exasperated, the cat shook his head, giving a nod to the student. "I'll leave it to you. Don't be afraid to call me if things go wrong - but by in large, you're going to be on your own, Holly."

Holly questioned herself every step of the way on almost every single endevour that she had ever taken.
Always pouring over every minute detail, always going over every little thing that she thought would happen. But here? There was so much that could go wrong and so many things that felt like they would make it impossible for this to transition smoothly. Every single fiber of her brain screamed that this was a bad idea.
But for once, the thing that she felt that this was indeed a good idea... Was her gut. Something that she should of always trusted, something that told her time and time again what was good and what was bad for her. But she ignored it most of the time and suffered the consequences. Holly reached over to gently rub at her da's shoulder managing a small smile.
"I think it's the right thing to do Da. If I need help you'll uh. Know. Caaaause there will be a lot of roaring, yelling and angry lazer cat sounds."
Holly let out a marvelous giggle and shook her head. She was largely kidding in that regard, as she had no desire to create a scene. If things went unpleasantly she could have iris help her escape the island rather easily and seeing how if she got to the edge of luminas she could escape without much of an issue seeing just how fast either of her super-mega's truly were.
"Wish me luck da!"
She'd stick out her tongue and hoof it back to the entrance, knowing that her da would probably go back to their home or just chill here. Either way she'd have a quick call button for him if things did go sour... Now all it would take is finding the right people for getting this all straightened out! Or at least finding the right place... Jeez!

Roaring, yelling, and angry laser cat sounds.
Yup, that sounded about right. With a long breath outward, the doctor gave a sigh, and rested a hand right on the MeiCrackmon's shoulder. "Whatever happens, I'm with you, hun. Just... take care of yourself, alright?"
With one more pat, the doctor would look on as Holly made her way back to the entrance - and, presumably, out to Luminas proper. It wouldn't take her long to find the place she was looking for, though Holly would probably have to ask a question or two to figure out what, exactly, she was looking for. And Luminas' municipal office was still in complete disarray after the change in management, with several angels and officers working overtime! Claims of property that was seized by the past regime, improper raids, improper taxation over the past several years...
... And to add to it all, a deed cropping out of the woodwork. A tired-looking Andromon simply arched his back, palm against his forehead as he looked over the document. "We were going to be repossessing that one in a month as it is... but this seems like the legitimate file." The machine gave a groan. "You... do know what that place was used for originally, right?"

"Don't worry da I'll take care of myself as best I can, hopefully this time I won't get mucked with too much. Thank you..."
Holly smiled softly as she turned to leave. It wouldn't take too long to find the place as she had no problem asking strangers for pointers to where to go. And didn't mind asking a second or third time if she got turned around. Eventually she was able to get to the municipal office and there she was able to at least get a feel for how this place was going. She could imagine that everyone here was stressed and well.. she was about to add to it probably.
Holly leaned in her seat as the andromon went over her deed, to the home that she now technically owned. She'd rub at one of her ears and flick the other one as he asked her if she knew what it was used for. Here came down the moment of truth that she'd have to live with the moment she opened her mouth.
"I'm aware of what it's used for. I was for a short time a part of the group that operated out of it. Out of everyone in there I was the only one that the 'leader' seemed to think would do the best in terms of ownership of the location given that I'm currently enrolled at one of your schools to be a doctor."
Holly shifted in her seat, she almost looked bored at the information she was just giving the andromon. She was however ready to move given a moments notice. She would answer any questions presented and well... The meicrackmon didn't have a problem with ripping the wings off of angels or breaking robotics into pieces. The champion level meicrackmon after all knew all the little tips and tricks...
"And it is legitimate. I wouldn't put it past my former boss to go through proper channels for a final farewell."

Sheesh, and she came right on out with it? The Andromon let out an annoyed sigh, fingers pinching his sinus as he processed the information.
"... Yeah, that's definitely not what I wanted to hear out of all this. A short time, sheesh - is it safe to say you were involved in any of their work, then?" The Andromon kept it purposefully vague, but he knew what it was about. The jobs, the rumors, the stories, the actual records. Though there was one point in the cat's favor here:
It verified that she was the likely owner of the property.
"Then, naturally, we do have a few questions for you. Though the group might have been thorough in their field, it goes without saying that a number of their members had bounties on their head for their own reasons. Theft, side jobs, and at least one messed up enough that he committed the 'act' right in front of a Whitewater official. Sheesh, to think the doctor's kid would have gotten into this sort of mess..."
He shook his head. And to this point, Iris would whisper: I would be cautious here. Honest as you intend to be, you put a lot at risk saying that you performed the acts yourself.

Holly kept her somewhat bored expression on her face; underneath the shademon would find that... well she was surprisingly calm for someone that had just admitted to being an assassin to someone of the goverment. She'd rub at one of her ears, flicking the other one as the andromon spoke. Keeping it vague was a good thing and the meicrackmon's mind raced as the andromon spoke.
There was a lot that she could say here and with Iris adding his two cents in her core went into absolute overdrive. A thousand thoughts a second is what it felt like and the meicrackmon let out a small snort.
"Somewhat, while I never did anything direct I was more a trainee than an actual... worker? I guess you could call it?"
Holly grimaced a bit and just shook her head, there was a boatload of training and meetings that she had to attend and honestly if they weren't so desperate at the time they would of just kept it that way for a while... The meicrackmon leaned forward, her ears flicking a few times as her interest was apparent.
"Well ask away. I remember hearing a few things that sounds simular to that? And yeah. I got... well I got pulled into it when I was barely two months old and didn't know any better."
Holly bit at her lower lip; if she had said no to iris would he of blamed her at that point? She was remarkable at the time and would of probably ended up staying blissfully innocent for a long long time... until her ma's death. Then she would of just... broke.
I gathered as much there. After this we're going to have a few words though.

Hmph...
The Shademon stayed silent, more or less, as Holly went about her own explanations. She was a 'trainee', and willing to answer a few of the Andromon's questions - though, naturally, that might have been the first thing that came to mind for someone trying to 'skirt around' what they actually did. The Andromon raised a brow at the MeiCrackmon's explanation, but otherwise pressed right along.
"Well, we know a bit about Fall Lane. By in large they targeted high profile criminals and carried out their attacks, but it was never completely impartial as they performed their deeds for large payments. As far as underground organizations go, they had the ability to stem the tide one way or the other if they wanted to. That said..."
He tapped his finger on the desk, considering what to even ask in this situation. And, well, he got right down to it.
"The Ravemon. I need everything you know on him."

Holly knew that the shademon likely didn't like the implications of holly wanting to talk to him later on. Naturally she'd respond in a way that put her above or away such actions. But honestly when it came down to it this holly knew that she performed the actions but at the same time... that was a different her. A different time. A place where she thought of in a somewhat negative light now days.
"I remember them talking about such things. Something to do with justice and the right of the world if memory serves."
Holly rubbed at her chin, raising a brow as the other told her what he needed. The meicrackmon knew immediately why, they wanted to go find boss and likely take him out. But the thing was... she didn't know much about him and her facial expression said it all.
"I can tell you his name and some of his traits but... past that I don't really know much about him. Everyone had code names of sorts and I never learned what his actual name was or what other forms he had."
The meicrackmon frowned a bit and made a motion for the other to bring her a sheet of paper. If done so she'd write out a good list of things she could remember... with each detail slightly skewed so that boss would be rather safe and just o so out of their reach.
"This is everything I can remember; none of them really used named attacks either. Well. They never said them if that makes sense?"
The meicrackmon gave a small shrug, honestly the named attack thing wasn't too uncommon given their line of work but there was one glaring bit of information on there. That he was the one that likely went and got the payments from wherever they came from. Likely to make sure that everything went smoothly...
"Suffice to say I am here for another reason. One that... well. Would make my schooling and owning a piece of land here in Luminas easier. Maybe you could help point me in the right direction for a citizenship for your... city?"

Perhaps fortunately for Holly, the Ravemon was purposefully vague about himself. His real name, his named techniques, his origin? The MeiCrackmon knew none of it, and even the Shademon in her shadow didn't put forth any more telling information. But there were a few things that the Andromon would learn:
His appearance, his prior code name, and if pressed, even a copy of his handwriting. But that was it, and with a scan of his eyes, the Andromon could tell that Holly was being as truthful as she could be. He shook his head, more in an annoyed fashion than anything else, simply collecting the documents for his file. "Well, if that's- hm?"
Wait, something else? The ultimate blinked as the MeiCrackmon brought up something a bit more mundane. "Interesting, a Luminas citizen? Given that you're Dr. Mikemon's daughter, you're already a citizen of Whitewater by default. There is a means to transfer it, but we need to see more of a track record than we have now. Its, um, standard protocol no matter which city you go to. But..."
He gave a shrug. "If Luminas remains your primary residence for six months or so, it's just an hour or two to get it sorted out at the office."

Holly leaned on one hand, staring quietly at the andromon. The apperance of a ravemon wasn't anything that people could really go by. Perhaps the minute details that she skewed a bit would play in his favor but... The handwriting, prior code name and the gentle glance over her details that she knew of were well...
"If I knew more I'd tell you, but out of everyone I can tell you without a doubt he was the most dangerous at that particular time."
Holly gave a small shrug and flicked her ears forward as the andromon seemed interested. So they definitely knew her connection with her father and now that she knew what she needed the meicrackmon stood up after a moment stretching lightly.
"Well now I have a home here and I'll be going to school in luminas for being a doctor. Which yah probably are already aware of... But long term it'd probably be one of the safest places to practice from considering the recent coup and all that... that and I don't think people would muck with me especially if... well..."
Holly gave a little motion and rubbed at her chin thoughtfully. What sort of track record did they even need? Hell what would it even give her?
"What sort of track record would you guys need? The devil is in the details"
