Sometimes, simplicity is key. She could gather that he was a walking tank just by looking at him, and hearing what he had to say, he sounded almost like someone who was made to be the ultimate bodyguard. One could only wonder how many times this man has faced death head on for the sake of his clients, but if he was hired to be guarding her, then he must be good at his job. At least she hoped so.

"How familiar are you with this city and this island?"

"Like I said Miss, I come from a different timeline, i've only been here for a few months. I've gotten to know most of the main parts of the city, but its more hidden depths still elude me. As for anything outside the city, i've hardly stepped beyond a mile or two into the forests, though thats mainly due to there being a lack of reason to do so, for me anyway. I hear that beyond the initial forested areas is a much more overgrown area overrun with all manner of dangerous mythical wildlife. I don't know whats in there exactly, but city officials recommend people steer clear of that area." He explained as best he could.

"Interesting..." Restricted areas are bound to have some secrets. If she had the time, perhaps she could venture into it and see what there is to see, dangerous or not, but knowing the city was much more important. She needed supplies if she had a hope of making anything here.

She watched the buildings on her side of the road and made mental notes on which one could provide her with the materials she needed, but her options were limited.

"Are there any shops here that sell industrial materials?"

"Eh, hard to say Miss, I haven't been looking for shops like that, but i'm sure there's at least a few that are willing." Henry said. They began to drive through more upperclass residential areas, the one that contained the safehouse. Eventually they arrived at their destination. The house was spaced a little further away from the others and had a wall around it's perimiter with a sliding entrance gate. When they got close to the gate, Henry hopped out and inspected the gate. A small remote with a button was located there and pressing it opened the gate.

Henry took the remote back to the truck and proceeded to park the truck within the driveway, closing the gate behind them. Once Henry was out, if Sarah had yet to get out of the vehicle he'd open the door for her.

"We should check the inside before we start unpacking, see what it offers and see if the site is secure." He said. He unhooked the large gun on his back and held it at the ready. He unclipped the ammo-belt end on his chest and pulled on it. As he did more of the belt came out of the ammo drum on his back before suddenly going slack as a part of it clipped off, leaving a stub hanging from the drum. Henry then opened the guns chamber and loaded the belt, slamming the chamber shut with a clang. A final cocking of the loader signalled the weapon was ready for action, as the belt dangled freely while draped over his left arm which held on to the bipod to steady it.

"We will search the house together room by room, until I am sure the inside is secure I recommend you stay behind me. Do you have a way to defend yourself?" he asked.

It seemed she would need to skirt the city to find a place that sold what she needed. Assuming this island was self-sufficient, she was going to find a supplier, that was for sure. She'd prefer legal means to avoid any leverage against her. There were too many of that already.

They arrived upon her new homestead. It was impressive, but not the most discrete. She would need to ready a compelling story, that was for sure, lest she'll turn heads for the wrong reasons. Sarah helped herself down and approached the mansion but her guard insisted that they make sure the area was clear.

She could only wish that it was indeed clear, otherwise her new home would be riddled with bullets and stained with blood. But better safe than sorry. When asked if she had a means to defend herself, she took out a Colt .45. Inferior to the models she had made over the years, but it carried a sentimental weight. It could easily be seen that it was old with the scratches on the exterior but it was well taken care of. It would also be easier to explain if she ever got stopped by customs compared to her weaponry that were usually at the hands of crime lords.

"I'll be fine. Do try to keep damages to a minimum if we find someone."

"I'll do my best Miss." Henry said. Without further delay Henry opened the door to the house, covering Sarah until she was inside, then shut the door again. It seemed pretty spacious, maybe compact for a small mansion but still pretty spacious. Keeping his gun pointed outward, he first moved towards the right hand side of the mansions first floor to check there.

Walking through the mansion, she saw that it was already fully furnished, but other than that, she couldn't tell in the darkness. While moonlight filtered through the windows to guide them, it only shed its light so far. Nonetheless, she kept the sound of her footsteps nonexistent.

She was casually walking behind Henry with the gun at her side, finger off the trigger to avoid accidents.

It was also worthy to note that if Henry turned back to look at her with her face hidden in shadows, he would see her blue irises softly glow orange.

Henry continued to lead the way through the mansion, looping towards the left side of the house. Once that was cleared they headed upstairs. It was getting darker in some areas so Henry turned to make sure Sarah was still behind him, when he noticed her eyes glowed a soft orange. Before he said anything he pressed a button on his mask and activated its heat vision before continuing.

"Something up with your eyes? Usually when someone's eyes glow, there's a good reason for it." He said.

Sarah was more focused on seeing the stuff in the house than finding intruders. She was confident that they had accounted for such things before they even got there, but her assumptions weren't going to get in the way of Henry's job.

Asked about her eyes, she wondered for a moment before she remembered that quirk it gained after an accident in the lab. "Ocular implants. My eyes were damaged a few years ago, so I gotten implants to fix them and gave them something extra to help me out when I'm working."

"Hm, hope it wasn't too painful." He remarked as they continued searching, eventually Henry figured the inside was secured.

"Why don't you pick a room to set up your equipment, make yourself at home. I apologize if my security measures seem extraneous Miss, but they failed to specify what level of threat you were under. They only told me to safeguard and "moniter" you, whatever that means. As far as I know you could have any number of people after you. I take my job seriously, I'm just being cautious."
