((January 4, 2521. Early afternoon.))
Just because the place had been fixed and the Mavericks driven out didn't mean that he couldn't come here and go scrap hunting. Normally he snuck in anyways, and had to be silent in case Mavericks caught him. But now that the Mavericks were gone, he didn't have to be as careful.
Normally, he preferred the junkyard - there were plenty of scrap metal there that he could use when fixing people's things or building new things for said people. But sometimes, newer material that hadn't been used as often was needed.
"Alright there, Q?"
//Uh huh. Have you found it yet...?//
"Not quite. But it should be around here somewhere, the copper wiring..." Copper was a primitive method of transferring electricity, but it still worked. Aven continued to rummage, occasionally pocketing useful bits of scrap. Who knew, it could come in handy later.

Girouette had, after giving her his thanks and eternal gratitude, left to rescue his old business and reunite with his family. It was all well and good for Julianne, except for the fact that her biggest project for the last five and a half years was completed, leaving her with nothing to do, and Giro was done recovering, leaving it just her and Model Jw once more.
So not only was she bored, but she was now a little craving in terms of extra company. To sate her boredom, she had decided to raid the abandoned warehouse. Even with the mavericks driven out, most people avoided this place, which made it prime pickings for one such as herself.
So here she was, face first in a crate with Model Jw sitting on her butt to keep her from tilting into the crate as she rifled through the contents. She was wearing her normal attire of a leather work apron and leather work gloves as she stuffed some things in a backpack she had dragged into the crate with her.
Oh? What was this?
A spool of copper wire? And a hefty one too! "Oh hoh hoh! Jewel! Guess what I found?!"
"What did you find?"
"A spool of copper wire! There's so much I can do with this!" She happily stuffed it in her rather full backpack. Hmm, there didn't seem to be anything else she wanted to claim in this crate. "Kay, Jewel, lemmie u-AAAAAAP!"
As soon as Model Jw moved, Julianne lost her balance and flipped right into the crate with a crunch of electronics and shifting pipes.
"AHH! Juli! Are you alright?!" Jw fretted, floating above the crate. If he detected anyone coming, he'd let out a squeak and dive into the crate after Juli, who would still be trying to figure out which direction was 'up'.

Ah, cool, there was some copper wire around here! Aven stuffed it into his traveling bag, and smiled at the Biometal that was peeking out of his pocket. Aww, the kid was still shy even with nobody else around. Q, you were such a silly little Biometal, but that was why Aven liked you.
"Aw, don't be shy, Q, there's no one else around here."
Of course naturally, the moment he said that, he heard the footsteps of someone else, a female voice, causing Q to let out a squeak and sink further into Aven's pocket. Aven sighed a little bit, but it was when he heard the surprised yell, a male voice calling out to her, and the sudden sound of several pieces of electronic colliding, that he turned around.
"Hey, whoever it is, are you alright?" Better go see what was up. He doubted it was a Maverick, most Mavericks didn't hang out here, even if no one came here most of the time.

Model Jw, despite hating the smudgyness of it, hid inside of Julianne's apron pocket as she righted herself and stuck her head out of the crate, an upturned and empty pail that once contained some nuts and bolts firmly lodged on her head.
She looked at Aven and waved sheepishly from her location in the crate, bucket still on her head. "Oh, hey there!" She greeted. "Y-Yea, I'm alright! Just had a slip, that's all." Finishing her wave, the reached into the crate without breaking eye contact, made sure she didn't drop anything, zipped up the bag, and held onto it. Model Jw quickly swapped from the smudgy apron pocket to the backpack's smaller side pocket. She remained in the crate for the time being.

And of course, all Aven saw was the female figure in the crate, and not the Biometal that was hiding in her smudgy icon. Of course he could see the the pail that was on her head, and sheepishly removed it from where it was sitting and set it down. Oh hey, some of those nuts and bolts on the ground looked promising. He picked a few up and pocketed them.
"Misjudged your step, huh?"
The young man chuckled a bit and reached out a hand to help her out. Q, meanwhile, gave a super tiny giggle at the situation, but immediately fell silent after that. Most people didn't hear Biometals, but he saw no reason to risk it.

Julianne shrank into the crate a little as Aven approched, holy Asimov he was cute. He looked to be about her age, to boot!
She blushed lightly as Aven took the bucket off her head, and ducked into the crate as he suddenly became interested in the screws that came tumbling out.
"Y-Yea. Fell right in." She laughed sheepishly, accepting Aven's help and climbing out of the crate, backback(Which had Model Jw in it) in tow. "Thanks. I'm Julianne. Nice to me-" Giggle?
"Did you hear a giggle?"
Model Jw certainly heard it, and it seemed oddly familiar. Odd...

Sadly, Aven was enough of a guy to be completely oblivious to what she was thinking, though the girl wasn't really a bad-looking one. He'd definitely seen a lot less attractive women his age. Maybe if he was lucky, she wouldn't get pissed off at him for one reason or another.
"It's okay, things like that happen all the time." He smiled at her as he helped her out of the crate, shifting his traveling bag to his back to do so. "No problem. I'm Aven, nice to-"
Ack! Q! Aven blinked, not that she could see it, and shrugged. "I don't know... I thought I heard someone else around where you were earlier, but I guess not?"
And meanwhile, poor little Q wanted to squeak again.

Wait, he thought he heard someone else? Could he hear biometals too? She'd have to be careful, according to Giro, not all bioteams were good news. As a matter of fact, from what he knew, the only bioteams he knew of that WEREN'T bad news was his adoptive children.
"I...suppose not, then. Aven, was it? Nice to meet you." She decided to simply keep a sharp ear out for any more mysterious giggles for now. "I think it's safe to say we're here for the same reason?" She gestured towards Aven's bag.

Oh well, maybe he was definitely imagining things. Outside of his brother Voile, Aven hadn't really met anyone that could hear Biometals or were Megamen which actually is the term people use in the games, so he would have to find out for sure whether this girl could actually hear Q or not. Q didn't seem to be in the mood to say anything, though.
"Yep, Aven. And you were Julianne, right? Nice to meet you too." He'd have to hear for more mysterious male voices that he didn't recognize. He could have sworn that he had heard one, but apparently not. Aven grinned a bit sheepishly when she pointed to his bag.
"Yeah. I like going to places and looking for scraps and parts that no one wants anymore. Saves money."

Rper doesn't care. Bioteam sounds cool so *Raspberrys* Julianne smiled and nodded, wrapping her arms loosely so that she was idly holding her elbows. "Yep, that's me!~" She confirmed. "I do that too. I like to fix things, so finding free parts from salvaging is helpful. Though... I don't think you could call this salvaging, could you?" He laughed. Not like anyone would care of supplies went missing from here.
You forgot to mention how most of those things she fixes were broken by her in the first place. Model Jw thought to himself from the backpack.
"Hey, wanna go supply hunting together?" She suggested. Sticking around him would be a good idea if she wanted to have a chance at hearing that mysterious giggle again.

No, it sounds weird and no one but you uses it. cB But you are the first to ever make up that word.
Aven chuckled a bit as she mentioned that this couldn't really be called salvaging considering that they were in a warehouse that produces things. Oh well. It wasn't as if they would notice if a few not-standard parts went missing. Those parts were quite good, too. Just because they were slightly different...
"Eh, I call it whatever I want. It's salvaging since most of this is eventually tossed out... I think."
Q wanted to giggle again, but restrained himself. He didn't want that lady to hear him again. Shy little Biometal was shy, a far cry from his Biomatch.
"Sure, why not? I'm not really hunting for anything in particular, just anything that might seem useful." He did want to finish that toy he was working on, though. Q would be happy once it was finished.

*SOBS IN EMOCORNER* NO ONE LOVES ME. :<
Julianne smiled again as Aven accepted her invitation. Wee!~ "I'm not looking for anything in particular either." She said. "Split everything down the middle?" Might as well get the divvying out ahead of time and save the trouble later.
"Which direction did you come from?" She asked. "We can figure out where we haven't looked yet and go there."

This was just a ploy by Julianne so that she could spend time with someone she thinks is cute, isn't it? Aven didn't suspect her real reasons at all, but it was worthwhile to team up and look for useful items.
"Sure, splitting down the middle sounds fine. Though I would like pieces of titanium, especially pieces that are colored red. Just a little personal project I'm working on."
Aven pointed down the path that he had come, which was in a different direction from where Julianne had come from. "Oh, over there." If there was not much over there, then they could just hunt in a separate direction.
"Why don't we try over there?" Aven suggested, pointing a section where neither of them had probably come from.

Julianne didn't even consider the possibility of just stalling with this guy, but now that it was brought up, yea, that's certainly a bonus.
"Oh? Sure, No problem. I can get titanium from the scrapyards if I really need it." Julianne conceded. "I'm more of a fixer-upper than a builder, anyway. What kind of project is it?"
As Aven pointed down the path, she was about to ask Model Jw to go ahead and scout, then stopped when she remembered Aven. Looks like she'll have to do this the old fashioned way. "I'll take point." She said, digging in her apron pocket and withdrawing a small flashlight to illuminate the darkened path. No windows in that particular area.
She then began to walk down the path without hesitation. Nope, nothing to be afraid of, she had her flashlight and she had Jewel, so NOTHING could go wrong!

Oh boy, Aven was in for an interesting time, wasn't he? Oh well. He wasn't going to complain at the moment unless she suddenly grew fangs and attacked him.
"Ah, thanks. I usually do both, since I spent a lot of time tinkering with stuff that dad had down in his lab. Oh, the project? Erm... I'm building a toy for a kid I know as a present."
That was partially true. Q was a kid, and he was building it for Q, but it wasn't really a gift, just a nice gesture for the little kid Biometal. He chuckled a bit as she said she was going to take point.
"Ladies first, then."
He followed after her into the tunnel. Nah, nothing could happen, could it? The Mavericks were gone, and he had Q if he really needed to use him.
