The clack of the train wheels was always a soothing sound... sometimes, when she was younger, she would get on a train and just ride it... close her eyes, listen, and sometimes try to guess where she was without looking at the signs. Outside was just as soothing; it was raining pretty hard, and she always loved the rain... especially now, with how the droplets hit the windows, the roof... they mixed with the clacks so well that she could help but relax and be in a good mood. She even smiled at the roll of thunder as it rolled over their heads, not long after a pretty flash of light. Yeah... today was a sucky day for most people, gray sky, cooler temperatures, and a whole thunderstorm waiting for them outside... but she was always different anyway. Today was a good day for her.
Well, for the most part.
Luzia turned her eyes away from the glistening, moving droplets on the windows, looking around her. There wasn't a whole lot of people in this car... there was a pregnant woman sitting, still trying to dry off her umbrella. Luzia smiled at her again; she couldn't help but wonder if she would be her in a couple of years... after all, she was getting married soon, and kids would be next...~. Luzia giggled, rubbing her tummy, looking down at it, imagining it all swollen with a big, beautiful baby, filled with warmth and love from her soon-to-be-husband... but a yell pulled her out of her thoughts, and she turned and pouted at a couple of gangster wannabes. They were crouched on the floor in what looked like a very uncomfortable way, both of them looking over some video game and cheering each other on, even as they wore bandannas for masks and weird skull-like badges.
Tch. Well, there went her mood. Most of it, anyway. The world was still giving her a nice, soothing, happy day, she just couldn't be happy thinking about being a mom anymore. Sigh... she had work she needed to do anyway....
She let go of the ring that steadied people that wanted to stand, and walked out of the car, and into the next one. In this car was an homeless guy actually making an annoying amount of noise as he had a nap, and not just snoring. The other person, though... he was why she was here, he was why her day couldn't be totally great. Natsu Fuyuko, and she trusted this information, even if it came from a funny-smelling frog guy. Just like her, just like Niso, just like Kado, he came from Saint Marta's... but he had the fortune to get out a hell of a lot earlier than most of the others. Though, it sounded like he was in a lot longer...
Bah, she didn't feel like doing the math. That place didn't deserve it.
She grabbed one of the hanging rings and stared at the window again, her back to the boy. She needed to talk to him, but how? She kind of just wanted to go up and talk to him, but she tried that tactic. Twice. And she couldn't spit it out either time. But she couldn't just dodge it anymore, not when she was actively trying to help Niso and the the others.
She kept going back and forth like this, but finally, Luzia decided to just say 'fuck it' and moved, sitting next to the boy, pulling the hood off of her rain coat. "Pretty day, isn't it?" she said, trying to small talk her way a little closer to this boy.

Natsu was sitting to the side all by his lonesome-away from everybody else. A snoring homeless man was sleeping a distance from him. But the snoring didn't bother him one bit though instead, he was focusing on the rain outside the window, and he watched as the droplets reach the bottom of the window. He was making mental bets on which droplets would win and which one would lose. And so far, six out of eight of his droplets won thus far. So he was a little confidant in his droplets bets. Maybe he can make a living out of droplets races. No-nobody would be into that.
Natsu's final droplet race ended with a loss, so Natsu looked away from the window, and he looked up to the ads that mostly go ignored by the general populace. They were strange-Natsu never took notice of them before. Frankly-this is one of his first time on his own on the train. Natsu's legal guardian-Finn thought he was smart and dependable enough to travel on his own-despite all of his little rebellions that he did to make himself look dumb and not to rely on him. But Finn, for whatever reason, trusted him enough to travel the train system on his own, to and from his new home to middle school. Natsu couldn't understand Finn- he was so kind yet- Natsu couldn't help but be distrustful of him- its Natsu's very nature to be distrust adults-or maybe he's worried that Finn will finally show his true colors and Natsu would be validated. Natsu didn't like these ads.
Natsu made him comfortable on his train seat as he lifts his black shoes to the end of the chair and his knees moved up to his chest as he fiddled with his black and red hood strings, Natsu very much give off the vibes of a punk kid despite being still in uniform. Natsu wore multiple layers of shirts, sweaters, and a leather studded jacket, as well as his middle school uniform under it all. Natsu struggled to get away with his fashion choices, but Finn helped him get away with it. So that's one good thing about living with Finn.
Natsu was staring off into space as a woman sat next to him. Natsu didn't take note of her until she made herself noticed by him, by asking him about the weather. Natsu stares at her for a moment from under his hood when she looked at him she would see that he has horrible burns on the left side of his face and that one eye looked glazed over-but Natsu stares at the woman before looking back into space playing with his string between his fingers, "I guess, kinda cold today, but watching the droplets race on the window is fun though," Natsu said rather absent-mindedly as he puts the string between his upper lip and nose and pushing his lips out to keep it up.

Okay, she opened the door, got a foot in; it was a start. Luzia smirked softly at the mention of cold, but she didn't say anything about preferring it. She didn't want to step on any toes, she didn't want to mess this up even a little. It was a delicate situation, and since she couldn't just spit it out, she had to ease into the subject. Still, though, what he said did make her lean back, closing her eyes with a smile. She remembered when she did stuff like that... still did, occasionally, but less than she used to. It was always a fun game, even if she ended up losing more often than not; she was used to losing, just being able to play was fun.
"Yeah?" she asked, still smirking a little, opening her eyes and turning to the window. "I usually lost that game, but it's whatever, you know? Not like any lives were on the line or anything." While he fiddled with his coat string, she fiddled with her hair, idly rolling her hair around a finger, trying to figure out what to say next. "You got a name?" She already knew the answer, but if she called him by his name, that would be a huge red flag... would be for her. Always put her on edge if someone she didn't know knew her name, even if that was technically what she wanted... and hell, she was getting more used to being popular, being famous, and it was something she was getting more comfortable with. Hell, most of the villains in the city knew her name now... not to mention she was top ten in the villain rankings!
She grinned at that, taking a moment to relish that, but she quickly pulled herself back from that distraction and brought herself back to the world.

Natsu's mind is far too busy with silly little ideas than to focus on the woman next to him too much. Natsu was more occupied with the thoughts in his head rather than anything else around him- the woman included. Natsu was wondering what his guardian made him for dinner if he should grab something from the corner store for him, how great a nap would be right about now, how pretty the woman's hair is. Oh right, the woman, Natsu, came back from the world inside his mind back to the woman who was smiling back to the window watching the droplets fall.
Natsu couldn't help but raise an unburnt an eyebrow at the woman. Strangely intense-but nevertheless true. Natsu went back to playing with his string now, pressing the two metal bits of his sweater strings. Natsu casually said, "Yeah, I guess, you can't be good at the game, you need to have faith in your little droplet to win, and you need a little bit of luck too-" Natsu said- that could be true about many things in life, a little bit of faith and a lot of luck will get you far in life.
Natsu looks over at the woman, "Sometimes when luck isn't on your side---you can create your own-" Natsu said as he presses his hand against the window, and suddenly it started to frost over until there was a single line of water droplets which drips down near the bottom. "Natsu Fuyuko, how about you?" Natsu said with a smile as he moved his hand away from the window, and it returned to normal as the droplets her eyes focused on reached the bottom. Natsu returned to playing with his strings and shakes his head as a shivers rundowns his spine, and Natsu let out a hefty sigh as lickings of pink flames came out of his mouth.

"Sometimes when luck isn't on your side, you can create your own."
Luzia blinked at those words, turning to him with her own eyebrow quirked. She had heard that sort of thing a lot, but she never really completely believed it; all he was talking about was manipulating something, which was all fine and well, she just never really believed luck was something you created. And that little belief of her's was proven, at least to her, as the window started to frost over, creating a path for one droplet to go down all the way to the bottom. Luzia smirked, though; it was an impressive trick, it showed that he had guts and street smarts, and hell, she was a little proud to be connected to him. This kid could be something good.
She was even starting to understand why Niso wanted the kids to be spared.
It was her turn, and she trailed a finger over the ice on the window, her extra warm - though not nearly to the same degree as her company - quickly making her own little path, letting another water drop start to fall. "Luzia," she said, pulling her finger away, looking at him at just the right time to see the puff of pink flames come out of his mouth. Such pretty flames... they made her smile. "Luzia. Are all your flames pink, or just the pretty ones~?"

Natsu only believed his advice since, despite his young age- he has gotten out of trouble by acting a certain way. By pretending to be less than he is, but right now something, about this woman that let out his inner flame. So when the woman made a route for her droplet with her quirk, Natsu stares at the woman curiously. A quirk. So she is like him. Natsu's neutral expression turned to a small smile. Natsu wondered if she could understand what he'd gone through- something tells him she does- or maybe he's projecting too much.
The woman introduced herself as Luzia. Natsu responded with a nod of his head and a small wave of his burnt hand. When Natsu's flames came out, the woman seems to have noticed his licking of fire from his quirk. Natsu's blushes a little bit from her calling his fire pretty, Natsu lifts his hand and under his breath says, "come out, Cool flame," as he does so a pink flame snakes its way out of his chest to the tips of his fingers. Natsu holds the pink fire out before clenching his hands into a fist as he returned the flames into his body. "My flames can be any color, depending on my emotions when I summon them."
Natsu then looks over to the woman, "what's your quirk?" Natsu asked curiously since the way she melted that path for the droplet wasn't natural.

"Makes sense," Luzia said, smiling softly. Her neon was kind of the same; it usually came out as a bunch of pinks, but when she was particularly angry it would come out as red instead, and sometimes if she was particularly sad, blue. Or at least, she thought so; she wasn't sure if it did it on its own or whether she did, but in the end, she didn't really care; it felt right either way so she didn't really think about it too much.
She smiled wider as he asked about her quirk, and, after a quick double-check that the only company in the train was asleep, she answered with a demonstration. Plasma leaked from her fingers, and she rotated her arms, leaving trails of her pink neon throuugh the air, filling their part of the car with a soft, warm glow, one way better than the lights the train or even the sun gave, something way prettier, way more colorful, way more interesting. "My quirk is the best quirk... pretty and beautiful and warm and humming... it's like every neon sign you ever saw but better...~."
Luzia didn't make a huge piece like usual, all she did was make a few simple shapes, a circle, a square, a triangle before she waved her hand through them, breaking them and making them fade away like she was taking an eraser to a mist. She had to be careful, after all; using your quirk in public was illegal, which was a stupid-ass law if she ever saw one, and she didn't need anybody reporting her or anything, that would cause a whole bunch of shit that she didn't want to deal with... especially not now, when she was trying to get something out, to get this surprisingly nice kid to come with her.

Natsu nodded his head as Luzia says that his quirk makes sense in how it changes colors due to the shifts in his emotions. Natsu's power was nearly every color in the color spectrum, and each one dictates his emotional state from moment to moment. People could understand his emotional states by the color if he told them what they meant- but Natsu himself couldn't always make sense of each of the colors his quirk produced that there are just so many colors in the world that it is nearly impossible to make sense of them. So Natsu could only do his best to understand his emotional state to make sense of his quirk's colorations.
As Natsu was playing with his quirk in his hands, the woman- started revealing her power to him- it was a beautiful quirk. Neon lights hanging in the air suspended by her ability as she lit the car with her neon lights in an array of beautiful colors bright color. And best of All, Natsu could feel the warmth emanating from it. The warm felt so gentle and calming to the young man as he let out a content and a happy sigh from the closeness of the warmth. Luzia explained that her quirk was like every neon sign he has ever seen but better. "It is a beautiful quirk, and so warm," Natsu gently says as he smiles as he watches her make shapes in the air with her neon before erasing them out of the mid-air- or right it was illegal to use quirk in public.
Natsu, with a small sigh, took in all of his flames to his body as he felt cold from the embers returning to his body. But despite the cold feeling in his chest, Natsu's heart feels warm at the feeling of somebody able to understand him. Maybe even just a little bit. Natsu looked at the woman and asked, "So where are you heading?" Natsu asked as he looks over the pink-haired woman curiously.

Luzia smiled softly, mentally preening herself; he called her quirk beautiful, which meant, of course, that he called her beautiful... and that filled her with pride, it made her so, so happy. It made her feel better about herself, it made her feel worth something, and it made her smile ear-to-ear. She ran a hand through her hair, straightening and making it look better, making herself look just as good as she felt. But she froze mid-stroke, her smile fading as he asked a seemingly simple question. but, despite the fact that it made her freeze, despite the fact that it made the rain outside stop for a moment, there was only one answer that Luzia could think of, one answer that slipped out of her mouth as smoothly as a compliment to a handsome boy.
"Saint Marta's."
Laced with malice, despite its smoothness, Luzia spoke unusually calmly, unusually coolly, as she said two words that said a thousand between them. She knew he was from Saint Marta's, and she knew how much torture and pain he went through. She knew how scared and how alone he was in there, and still was. She knew exactly what he had went through... she went through it herself. The train finally got moving again, the rain resumed falling, time moved again as she turned her eyes to him. Her expression was unusually calm, her eyes conveyed a strength that only came with the Painter, but with a serenity that only came with Niso. She continued, her voice low, but almost commanding, like a devil that was offering a dream in the hand she held out to him.
"It's time for payback. It's gonna burn either way, but I thought you might want to be a part of it. We're going to bring it down like it brought us down... except we're going to bring it even lower than it brought us. Interested?"

Natsu noticed her freeze up, and the young boy responded with a slow blink of his eyes at the reaction, did he say something to upset her so? He only asked where she was going. Her once bright and warm smile faltered, the way she played with her hair, she stopped mid-twirl. Natsu tilts his head at the woman-confused, and mayhaps a bit worried by this reaction. But as if her world stopped moving and started moving again, his instant freezes, with two words. St Marta's.
Natsu's world freezes as if his quirk has consumed the whole world in just a blink of an eye, the soothing sounds of raindrops hitting the window became like the sounds of fists and feet hit his skin by the caretakers of that awful place. The lights above, which, while not wholly present, suddenly reminded him of the labs where they would stick him with needles and keep him tied down to the hospital gurney they did those awful things to him. And his hoodie tightens around his neck like those shock collars that always shocked him when he begged them to stop or when Cool Flame flares up. No. He's not there anymore, those awful people can't hurt him anymore. He's with Finn now, who despite, all the trouble he has caused, has protected him and made him feel safe, despite everything he has done since arriving in his life.
But the woman's warm words felt him with a warmth that Finn hasn't provided him with yet, closure. Payback as she calls it, Natsu unknowingly has been staring at the ground as Cool Flames flares up, layering his body in a thin layer of flames. Frost started to appear on the seat and the air around him. Natsu, as he suddenly realized this, took in a deep breath and let Cool flame back into himself as he looks at Luzia.
"Even the ground wouldn't want that place to rot in it" Natsu said in a low and angry no-sad voice. Despite Natsu knowing better, as the boy has learned from life for actions born from anger, always ends in shame. But despite everything, Natsu spoke.
"the past will be nothing but cinders and our present engulfed in embers, will the settled ashes of our past brighten our future?"
