He smiled a bit. "Sounds good... Although I don't know much about vehicles... I don't even know how to drive one. I suppose grandmother never though it was a necessary thing to know..." he said.
He crossed his arms, waiting for them to come to their destination.

"Sounds good... Although I don't know much about vehicles... I don't even know how to drive one. I suppose grandmother never though it was a necessary thing to know..."
"Like I said, you won't be doing too much. All you'll be doing is handing me my tools. I told my boss that you were going to be my apprentice, and he didn't have to pay you." Lei then scoffed a little. "Also, if she was training you to be on American Ninja Warrior..." Lei knew that Daniel was trained as an assassin, but he wasn't quite ready for Xianlong and his daughter to hear about this. Plus, Pai would have an earful if she found out that Daniel is a trained assassin who is going to be near her daughter. "I think using a car would be useful. I mean, yeah, you're not driving, but real ninjas don't just escape on foot. Using a car ensures that they are very far away. Besides, America is too big to wander off on foot, anyway."
Finally, Lei reached his first destination: Pai's place. He dropped the woman off and gave the sleeping Li-Mei a quick kiss on the forehead before he got back in the car and waved bye at his ex. Once Lei got back in the car, Xianlong smiled as she stretched her legs out. There was more room for her now.
"Well, how is he going to make money?" Xianlong finally asks.
"I'll just pay for his stuff." Lei smiled. "Oh, and by the way, would you like to go see Katya once we get to my place?"

Daniel looked at the bickering couple. "What is American Ninja Warrior...? He asked. Maybe a tournament in the Americas? He didnt know.
He stretched in the vehicle when they reached their first destination. He waved bye, and looked at Lei. When the ex supercop asked if he wanted to see Katya, he nodded.
"I would love to see her..." he said, smiling.

"What is American Ninja Warrior...?" Lei was glad Pai was out of earshot when he asked that question. Pai was never fond of him bring his work home with him. It was kind of why they split... other than her cheating on his partner. "It's a show in America where Americans do parkour tricks over an obstacle course and fail a lot. I'll be honest, I'm pretty sure I'd do great on that show, except, I'm not American." Lei smiled. "It's a really entertaining TV show." Xianlong added. It wasn't before long when Lei finally made it to his apartment complex, and parked his car in the garage. He steps out and makes his way to his home, as well as assisting Xianlong with her luggage. "Now, I need to warn you, my house is kind of a bit of a mess. I'm still trying to move in. Also, we'll go see Katya."Lei finally made it up to the third floor and fumbled with his keys as he finally opened the door. His apartment was littered with piles of boxes. There wasn't much furniture here, as all Lei had was some dining room tables, TV stand, and a loveseat and a sofa. He also had this leather chair in the corner. He enters the building and helps Xianlong unpack her stuff in her bedroom. Lei then grabs his laptop and sets it on the coffee table. "If you give me a few minutes, I'll get Katya for you. That way you can speak to her."Not too long after, Lei brought up a webcam feed with Dr. Kristovitch appearing as she waved. "As you can see, Daniel and I made it to my home. However, I think it's best that you and Katya relocate before something happens.""You feel zat vay?"Lei nods. "But I'll discuss more later... do you mind bringing me Katya? Someone wishes to speak to her."He hands the laptop over to Daniel, as Katya finally appeared on the screen, looking very disoriented and confused.

Daniel smiled, not really caring or knowing what a tv show was. He went into the apartment. Lei apologized that it wasnt very nice and Daniel shook his head. "Its nice..." he assured Lei. Sure it wasnt the lavish apartment Anna had, but this was more his style. Lei said he was going to get Katya. He waited, smiling, but was then confused when he brought a computer out.
He saw him talking to it, and heard Dr. kristovich's voice. Lei then faced the computer at him, and his entire face lit up at the sight of Katya.
"Katya..." he hand reached up to the laptop screen. "But how...?" he asked Lei. He turned back to Katya and smiled.
"I'm so happy to see you!!!"

Lei smiled at Daniel as he felt that his apartment wasn't subpar. Compared to Anna's place, and Steve's place, and everyone else's place, his was kind of... meh.
"But how...?"
"It's called Skype. It's a live video chat feed from the internet. Which... I'm sure you'll learn more about at time goes on."
Katya smiled when she saw Daniel. "You are here! I did not zink I vould see you again! Vat is happening?"
Lei got up to go get some soda as Xianlong entered the room. "So, I'm guessing that third bedroom came in handy?" Xianlong asks.
Lei nodded. "Yep." He sips his soda. "It did."

His eyes began to water as he touched her face on the screen. "I didnt think id ever see you again, either...!" he smiled at Lei. "Thankyou...!"
"Are you okay...? Are you safe...?" he asked Katya. "Ive been so worried about you...."
As he maintained his composure, he looked at her.... "When all of this is resolved... We can be together again...!"

"I didnt think id ever see you again, either...! Thankyou...!"
"I know you have feelings for her. It was the least I could do. You kind of remind me of someone... a friend of mine.... back in the day..."
Daniel did indeed remind Lei of his first partner who later met his fate at the hands of Kazuya Mishima. "He was always promising his girlfriend he'd see her again. Always talking about how they were going to start their new life together..." Though obviously it didn't end well at all.
"Are you okay...? Are you safe...?"
"Yes. Mom and Helena said zat I cannot leave ze house at all, and I must stay here until ze time being. Until... zis mess gets resolved."
"When all of this is resolved... We can be together again...!"
"I am so glad zat zis is a possibility. Maybe ve can move somevere far avay from Japan and raise a family!"
Lei really hoped Lillian didn't tear the two apart just like Kazuya did with his partner.

Daniel chuckled a bit. "An animal companion...?" he smiled a little. "What kind of animal is it..?" he asked. He yawned, feeling a little tired from his flight.
"Lei how often can we talk on this...?" he asked.

"An animal companion...? What kind of animal is it..?"
"Dmitri is a blue macaw. He is very smart, too and speaks Polish fluently..." She smiled.
"Lei how often can we talk on this...?"
"As much as you want." Lei smiled as he tilted his head.
"Don't hog it up too much! I need to use it, too, to do some... um... research."
"What kind of research..." Lei's eyes narrowed.
"Acting purposes of course! Like I said, I want to be an actress!"
"Just don't download porn, okay?"
"I don't do that! Do you!"
"No."
"Who does?"
Lei shrugged. "I was just saying... I really don't want to hop on my laptop and find disgusting porn."
Xianlong sighed as she sat at the table.

Daniel looked on in even more confusion. "...What is porn...?" He asked ever so innocently. He looked at Katya. "Do you know what porn is..?" He shook his head, "Can you show me Dmitri..?" He asked. "He sounds beautiful..!" He said. "I'm happy we get to do this anytime we want...!" He looked down. "I guess this will have to do...."
He wanted to hug her, to kiss her. To be by her side forever.
"Is there a way to talk to more than one person...? I can talk to you and to my mom and my brother if I could..!" He smiled. "This is pretty awesome..!"

"...What is porn...?"
Lei sighed. "Xianlong, look at what you made me do! I just ruined this poor boy's innocence!"
"You're the one who brought it up, so bluntly."
Lei couldn't disagree with his niece there. "Only because you were suspiciously saying 'research'."
"Do you know what porn is..?"
Katya shrugged. She wasn't sure what it was.
Lei did have to tell Daniel what it is, eventually, or else he'll accidentally stumble upon it and then become either addicted or horrified. Lei wasn't sure. But either way, Lei was going to tell him maybe a some point.
"Can you show me Dmitri..? He sounds beautiful..!"
Katya then called her mom over for a second, and then within moments later, a big blue bird flew up and perched on Katya's shoulder as she ducked in a little for Daniel to see. "He is a majestic little creature, is he not?"
"I'm happy we get to do this anytime we want...!"
Katya nodded. She was happy to hear this. Her mother felt the same way, as Katya is trapped inside the house.
"Is there a way to talk to more than one person...? I can talk to you and to my mom and my brother if I could..! This is pretty awesome..!"
Lei scratched his head a little. "I will have to get their email-addresses add them as my friends and hope that they are using Windows." Knowing Anna, it is very likely that she might be using a Mac. She is pretty loaded after-all. "You can also do this over the phone... as long as you have a smart phone with a front-facing camera."

"I'm sure my mom would be easy for us to get in contact with..." he turbed back to Katya. "He's so pretty...!" he said looking at the bird.
"Im glad to see you are okay...." he said, again. He ran his hands through his dark hair. He could feel the oil in it.
"Probably time for a shower...." he laughed.
