It was a dark, somewhat windy night. After an argument with your adoptive parents, you stormed out of the house, not thinking to take anything with you.

You walked for a while, not paying attention to where you were going. Eventually you reached the docs, and noticed a cool ship. Maybe that'd help take your mind off things?

You explored the ship long after the sun went down. However, while you were exploring below deck, you heard voices above you. Quickly, you hide behind some barrels and storage boxes, and you remain undiscovered for a while.

A while turned into two days.

You survived off the rations in the boxes, but it was quite uncomfortable. Anytime you thought about leaving, the footsteps above deck made you rethink it.

One evening, someone actually came downstairs. It was a short boy with tanned skin, curly brown hair, and grease stains all over his shirt and hands. He was whistling to himself, looking around for something. Leo Valdez didn't notice you for a few minutes, but yelped as soon as he locked eyes with you.
