Today would be the first real day of WR's work for Leon as his driver. He was waiting in the lobby area of the Lightning Tower Co. Wearing his usual suit and checking his watch before nodding and sighing. There was a lot to do today and he really wasn't looking forward to it.

WR strolled into the Lightning Tower Co wearing a new suit they had picked out just for this job. It really emphasized the thinness of WR's body, and they fucking hated it, but it was a small price to pay to fit in with Leon's 'family'.
"Ready to go?" They'd ask as soon as they saw him, stopping adjacent from where he was sitting.

Standing up he'd brush off his pants and nod.
"Yep. First place on todays agenda is a gym in the Eastern District."
Leon would walk out to the car, waiting for WR to open the door, as part of the job anyways. Once inside the car he'd speak up.
"Nice suit by the way. Think you can adjust to this?"

WR would nod, following him out of the building.
Once at the car they'd open both doors, waiting for him to get in before sitting.
They'd turn to face him as he asked his question. "Guess we're gonna found out, yeah?" They'd smile confidently. "Met your wife by the way. Nice woman." They'd add as they faced back, starting the ignition.

At the mention of having met his wife he looked with a chuckle.
"Oh? That must of been interesting, surprised you aren't tied up and being forced to sign adoption papers."
Leon would laugh at the image in his mind before letting WR get them where they were going.
"So meant to ask, any fears I should know about? Hydrophobia, or anything like that?"

"Honestly? Kinda surprised myself. She asked me to do a special job for her though, which I probably can't tell you about. So ya know, maybe soon." They'd shrug with an added chuckle.
They'd adjust the rearview mirror to get a better look at Leon, before raising a brow at his question. "Don't think so, why?" They'd squint. "And why specifically hydrophobia?"

Leon would look at WR and shake his head.
"Just wanted to make sure we didn't do anything on our travels that you were particularly afraid of, and I suffer from mild hydrophobia. Water makes me nervous."
Though that his wife had a job for WR was an interesting turn of events, even one WR shouldn't tell him about? The plot thickens.

WR just shrugged it off, looking for spots to weave in and out of traffic to get them where they were going faster.

It wouldn't take much longer for them to reach the gym before Leon would point it out. He'd wait for WR to open to the door to let him out. Once he stepped out he'd nod at WR.
"Come inside with me, there are some things I'd like to go over."
With that Leon would go inside. It's an old gym, but it's set up for people to learn boxing and fight training. Leon would take off his suit jacket and tie before leaving them on a bench.
"Go ahead and take yours off too, I want you to hit me. Do the one thing you can think of that will do the most damage. Your strongest attack."

WR's eyes would widen in confusion at his request to go in with him, but they'd shrug and turn the car off before opening his door for him.
When they were inside, they would gaze around, not taking too much time to study the place so they could keep up with Leon.
And then their eyes widened again. Really? What was all this about?
Once again, they would just shrug it off and do as they were told, stripping the suit off and stepping into the training area. "FYI, not built for this." They'd say, wasting no time to jab at his jaw.

Leon would shrug when WR said they weren't built for fighting and just threw a jab for his jaw. Leon took it and rubbed at the spot a bit on his chin before nodding.
"Well, you did attack as requested. You didn't hesitate beyond expressing yourself, and the hit was a little below average in power, but respectable. Though a strike to the jaw isn't that damaging I can't tell if you did that because you didn't think it through or had no other options, or if you were holding back or were afraid of consequences... Is a simple jab to the jaw really the most damaging thing you can think of? I'm pretty solid if you want to try again with something else?"

"It was instinctive," They'd admit with a shrug. "Usually focus legs. Groin. Nads. Whatever. Torso's too thick. Head's always riskier than it needs to be, yeah?" They'd ask.

"Good enough."
Since WR didn't seem to want to hit him again Leon would move on from that and walk over to a punching bag and run his hand over it for a moment.
"Have you seen the crazy shit going on in this city? The powers, the drugs, the insanely strong people?"

WR would follow Leon to the punching bag.
"Is that really a question?" They'd scoff, raising a brow. "We've lived the shit more than we both want to admit."

Leon grinned and nodded.
"Things are coming to a head and life in this city may change drastically to a more barbaric time from before you were born. The underworld is stockpiling it's power, there are two, maybe three organizations with the ability to create power in people, corrupt their minds and control them."
Leon would reach back and punch the bag releasing the power of the gambler he got ad concussive force exploded from his strike ripping the bag from the force, and snapping the chains that held it up tossing it across the room like it were just a pillow. Rubbing the knuckles of his full fingered gloves that WR would know hid scars before he continued speaking.
"IF you are planning to stay in this city how do you plan to survive, when the power I just showed you isn't even par for the course of how strong the evil in this city is?"
