Mathew was waiting at the meeting point for Delilah, he had sent message a week after their first meeting. Not to call in the favor. But he had a pest problem he needed to deal with and she could use the practice. Being the nice non evil person he was he decided he would give her the chance to improve instead of having all of the fun himself.
The helicopter blades whirling and waiting for him to pop back in to the pilot seat and take her up. He was still wearing the helmet and ear phones. Cause damn it was loud.

One week after Delilah received the note, she would find herself on the roof a little ways off waiting for Mathew. She wouldn't have to wait long.
The oncoming approach of a helicopter gave her pause and she automatically bent her knees a little and her hand went to her knife, thinking this might be the approach of a Barker elite squad or something. Who the hell else would have a helicopter?
And then she saw Mathew and she put a palm on her face. "Of course he does."
She lept easily from one rooftop to the next, jogging towards the helicopter hovering just above the rooftop, keeping her head cautiously low to avoid the extraordinarily loud blades.
Delilah would clamber in, poking her head into the pilots cab and frowning in disbelief at Mathew. If it weren't so damn loud, she might have had questions regarding the helicopter. Instead, she just shook her head.

Mathew tossed her one of the earphones like the one that he wore. They had built in mics to allow them to talk with each other. He would wait for her to get settled and strapped in before he lifted her up off the ground. Nice and smooth. He had quite a bit of practice with this over the years.
"Thought this would be quicker than walking."
He said as he turned the helicopter around and started to fly through Barker territory. They were on their way to Underground Facility #5.

She accepted the headphones gratefully, enjoying being able to hear over the roar of the helicopter's blades. She strapped herself in and looked out over the city as they began to move.
"Sweet ride." She would say, still not quite believing what she was seeing. "Where are we going?"

"In to one of the Dragon's bases. I thought you would have fun helping me to clear out a pest problem."
Like one hundred of them.
"Recent addition. We are just finishing up some of the repairs and securing the area from Barker."

"Pests. Riiiiight." she would nod and sit back, looking out the window as the city scape flew by. How long had it been since she flew last?
With David when he flew you up the skyscraper.
Not quite the same.
Still very alarming, though.
Well, what did she know? Mathew had taken over a Barker base (kudos to him) and there were pests within.
Whatever awaited them she as pretty sure it wasn't going to be kittens. Though that would be nice.

"So tell me, what's the largest force of Barker experiments that you have ever fought at a single time?"
He asked casually, still flying.

"So tell me, what's the largest force of Barker experiments that you have ever fought at a single time?"
He said as if he were talking about the weather.
Now she was getting a little uneasy as her suspicions were starting to be confirmed. She was suddenly very glad she brought her assortment of weaponry with her.
"An experiment one time, and six with two Qi users another time.

"That's all?"
Mmmm. Alright, so she was still green. That's fine, everyone starts somewhere.
"Well this should be fun for you."

That was just all kinds of encouraging.
"And by fun you mean potentially lethal." She thought about this for a moment.
"Alright. I'm game."
The alternative was probably jumping out of the helicopter anyway.

"Oh I'm sure it won't be that lethal. I fought a hundred of them when I was in High school. There can't be many more than that this time."
Should be a light workout!

So only partially lethal. Some how that wasn't better.
"Not all of us are you, Mathew. I'll try to keep up."
If what she thought was about to happen was going to happen, then this would be a helluva fight. She could use the training. Fighting people weaker than her wasn't exactly a challenge.
If only she knew just how much of a challenge this would be.

"Good plan, because they will probably try and rape you and eat your face if we lose."
Good thing he doesn't intend to lose!

SO MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT.
"....I'll keep that in mind."
Trying to decide which was worse.

"Excellent. Don't worry, it's fun. Trust me."
He said as they approached the compound. He would take the copter down slowly. Landing it in a clearing over the facility. Shutting everything down before hopping out and waiting for Delilah. When she was out he would lead her inside and to one of the floor hatches that would lead them down below.
