With his thick accent she almost thought he said “leave” with himself walking back to the compound she almost confirmed this more so until he looked back and motioned her to follow there after. Granted with all this going on she was a little confused and remained stationary for a short time.
She wasn’t worried she’d fall into a trap, despite that was exactly what she would be assuming as she still didn’t trust this guy anymore than a snake. If he was setting her up or going to apprehend her in anyway she’d be confident she could get out again on her own. So other than the awkward face off she’d have to do as she assaulted one of their officers she didn’t really have much to lose.
“What are you doing?” She questioned but would cautiously follow.

Leyva would lead her to the door she had been watching.
"So, you say this place has something to hide. Do place with things to hide-"
He opened the door to reveal that it wasn't locked or barred in any way.
"Have unlocked doors?"
Then he would gesture for to go inside.

“Oh we want to play that game.” She grimaced. “Listen bathrooms are usually not locked and they hold the biggest secrets. Do I fucking think you have a top secret enslaved children in your dirty basements running on hamster wheels maybe not... or at least you better fucking not. Do I maybe believe you’ve got some plans against us metas say if we cross the border or get out of hand then fucking yes I know you do, one of your officers told me so previously and I’d like to know what that be. I’d like to know what advantages you might have to be able to render me defenseless, where they come from, and how you’ll be using them. Comprende?”

"They have tech that renders our abilities useless. Essentially taking away our biggest asset. We can't leave the city because the world out there thinks we are a curse, and TSI has been tasked with keeping us here. Does it suck? Yes. Is it better than being locked in a room with other metas with all of our powers turned off and we are slaughtered? Yes. See, from what you just said, you don't give a fuck about anyone but yourself. And that kind if logic is going to get you and everyone else killed."
He shook his head.

“You see a whole city one that does still think we we are a curse, I see one big locked room and we are just waiting on them to make up their minds on slaughtering us. Sitting duck, as some would call it, trust me I’ve got something I want to protect and I would like to be given an option to fight back instead of submit to my fate when they do make a choice.” She couldn’t understand how everyone expects her to be okay with just these content living situations. “Should I be fucking grateful they haven’t killed me yet? The gun is already aiming at my head and yours awaiting the signal to fire. This city is an internment camp not a sanctuary.”

Leyva rolled his eyes.
"Again with the conspiracy theories."
He shook his head.
"I'm beginning to see more and more that you're nothing but a lost cause. I fully believe that if I let you run rampant in this place and you ripped down every door and read every paper and found ZERO evidence of them being shady you wouldn't be satisfied you'd just convince yourself they aren't hiding anything here. Now, how about you admit that to yourself."
He said taking a puff of his cigarette.
"What is it that you are REALLY looking for? Proof that they are allies? Or are you just looking for an excuse to go on the rampage because you can't handle living a peaceful life?"
He bent over to get in her face.
"You make think you know suffering because of what you experienced in the territories. But where I grew up and lived the War never ended, and the people in power were not so diplomatic. So just because YOU feel angst and uncomfortable, doesn't mean you got any right starting a new war. Some of us are thankful for the peace."

She rubbed her temples and slowed down her words into a much calmer tone. She was so tired of this attitude from people she was raging inside at his words. Frankly it was beginning to break her mentally. That no matter what she accomplished she’ll never be seen as anything more than an annoyance. “Some of you are cowards then. I’d suggest you start listening and stop looking down on me to pretend you know me at all. It wasn’t a conspiracy theory, I made a comparison.” She grunted. “I’d like to think your boss is almost like the man I knew back in Blood Territory. I’d like to trust him and you lot he has that kind of face you know? Knowing your accent I’ve probably passed through your home on foot.” She adjusted her voice to relax and let her own accent reveal itself. “Mine own land not be the Great that it be called but certainly beat whatever was goin’ on at the Ironlands.”
“I’ve not been molded by any one place I’ve walked and fought my way through war ravaged and deprived lands all the same. But I understand that as we sit here with these walls around us and unknown powers keeping us here then there is no way I can sleep peacefully at night. I didn’t come here to trash your filing cabinets and break your hardware I came for information something I could use in the future if I’m facing down TSI. You want to support an underdog... far too often the underdog is people like you who have exposed your belly for a peace that is contained in a bubble. I’ll not sit by and wait for someone to decide I’m too dangerous to be truly free. What am I looking for? I want to see weaknesses and I want to know what strength I’ll need to gain to have the choice to fight back if the time comes. Better yet if there is truly nothing to worry about I’d never have to use the knowledge I obtained and grumble in my apartment until the walls are down.”

"So, you're going to stand there, with a straight face, and tell me that, 'all you want' is to find the information to destroy this place and everyone in it. Then you will feel safe? Only after you know how to become this worlds greatest destroyer will you be satisfied?"
He scoffed.
"You talk big about protecting yourself, and seeking strength. Calling me and others cowards. You want to know what these people do behind closed doors? Fine. Follow me."
He would say turning and leading her somewhere else inside the building.

“Now that you mention it, if having the strength to destroy it be what it takes to keep my child safe from what danger just fucking took the rug from under our feet then yes. Then and only then will I be satisfied... Avice Locke, future destroyer of worlds, at yar service.” She bowed mockingly and she took off her mask and looked at the nearest camera giving it a royal bird salute before following the man before her. She already knew she made a fool of herself in her attempt in espionage she was going to make the best of it. Still If he was willing to give her a grand tour then so be it.
“The reason why I thought to sneak in was because if I asked for a tour then I know you’ll just try and sale your way pass the good stuff.” She folded her arms across her chest. “I want a look at the Qi eating equipment and how it’s made. I want to look at how you are so certain TSI has the power to wipe and exterminate us, you know, should they decide on genocide.”

He stand would remain silent as he lead her to an area where there were two doors, one on either side of him. Then he would turn to Avice.
"To my left, is the room where all current operations currently in progress are being ran by TSI including undercover operations and special operations that aren't for public eye. To my right, anti-qi gear as well as schematics on how to make them. These are the only two locked rooms on the base aside from Raikotsu's office. However, he is almost always there, and if he isn't his sister or his secretary is there. Now, I have the keys to open these doors, but I will only allow you access to one, you choose. Once we are done, you will leave."

“Ah... there it is.” She sighed. “That’s not good enough.”

"It's one of these doors or you leave empty handed. The end."
He wasn't bluffing. His tone was no longer playful or accusing, there was an edge to it. One that she would recognize as being from a veteran of war.

“I can just come back for the other.” She narrowed her eyes at his tone.

"I assure you. You will not gain access. You see, I'm giving you this information in hopes that you will learn how wrong you are. But should you pursue this path, you will be marked a threat, and I remove threats."

She took a few quick steps toward him. “If you are looking at me as a threat then you are looking in the wrong place! The silence in this world makes it too small we’ve been forced to discover the vastness of the damn universe... universes and powers that can control them! I know you’re fast... you caught up with me in a second and silent as a damn louse, and you want to see me a threat? Go ahead, let your boss make the choice to take our power away and good luck fighting the real curse that will absolutely be following us.
She took a few steps backwards and raised her hands to her sides like a magician welcoming the finale. “You know my name, you’ve seen my face, write me on some list and plaster my picture up. I’ll be getting my answers, my way, another day.” She would walk back the way they came silently and the man who she still isn’t sure if she heard his name or asked her to leave before would not see her for the rest of the night should he allow her to leave freely.
