Eli couldn't help but smile. He had a thing about getting what he wanted and the moment she asked that question he knew he was going to get it all.

With a hardy laughter and a lick of the lips all the fear and sadness went away. Scooting his chair closer to the table he kicked up his feet in a show of confidence that was unparalleled, one that boarder on sheer arrogance. 

"The film that was doctored and released showed me and 'hero' named Roze." He couldn't help but make the finger quotes. "The only people that knew about me and Ruby was Ruby, myself, a River Rat and the head of R and D of Apature. Who fun enough is the one who took Ruby and I think gave that suit which lead to her blowing uP the FBI. Which now is such a big deal that I can the under the radar." He touched his still smiling lips to keep from laughing. Only a few chuckles escaped his lips before he went on. "So... And this is the real kicker." Another chuckle fell out of his mouth. "You have either been watching me or you know where Ruby is. You also Happened to be the only girl I fell in love and for reasons beyond me you are the key to seeing your father, my last living, true friend and to kill the guy who put me in the spot light. So you'll have to forgive me if I piss my self with laughter. That's all a little much to take in." After running his hands through his hair, a sign of his frustration, he spoke again. "You gotta admit this is a damn sight funnier than a day time soap."
