"It was a f***ing nightmare." She said. "Basically I was part of a race that was lined up for extermination and they did it by turning several of us into giant monsters and sending them to eat us."

"Sounds... horrible", the silverette admitted. "Well... if it's any comfort, as my maids may have explained, our world is relatively peaceful, by which I mean we get our occasional messes, threats and explosions, but they are usually disturbances and anomalies in the usually peaceful status quo. I can guarantee that no one among my staff will, um, try to eat you. I cannot guarantee the same for things out there... we did have a bit of a zombie invasion a while back", she pondered somewhat comically.
"Still. This mansion is a haven of peace, safety, fun, and of course, science. I see it as a point of honor that my guests here will be treated well, so I encourage you to use this opportunity to get some rest and ponder your next move. Know that you are my guest here, so take the time you need."

"Okay... I see. Thanks." She said.

"Of course. Don't mention it", she said simply. "Either now or later, when you feel better, I'd like to discuss about the future. I imagine you're not exactly interested in returning to your world, so we have to consider what you'd like to do in this one", she explained.

"Okay. Yeah thanks." She said still not getting up to leave.

The silverette raised an eyebrow. "...Am I to take this as meaning you'd like to discuss it right now?"

"Yeah. Might as well. I got nothing better to do." She said.

"Alright. Let's do it then", she decided. "...Simply put... I'd like to discuss what you'd like to do with your life from now on. Big world out here, with a lot of opportunities, and... typically safer than the ones you described", she noted. "Again, you're welcome here as long as you need, but when you recover and feel better, you could go basically anywhere if you so please. I'd be happy to lend a hand, financially speaking."
She folded her hands on the desk.
"Then of course you could choose to live here with us long term, in which case perhaps we could think of a proper job for you to do here, at and/or around the mansion. Good pay, get your own quarters for free, meals are provided and delicious, and you'd be in good company. Of course, if you're more of a loner, that may not be the best call, as you would be spending much time in our company. Anyway... what is it that you would like to do?"

"I wouldn't mind working here for now." She said. "I can hunt for you if nothing else." She said as the clock struck midnight.

"We could use a huntress, though I would rather have at least two of my staff hunting together just in case. This is a jungle and it can be pretty treacherous, even for someone with as much combat experience as you have", she noted.
"What do you think about potentially becoming a maid? Technically speaking, hunting is part of their duties, so maybe you could join as one with it being your specialty?" she suggested.

"Alright. Then it's settled. Welcome to the family, so to speak", she said, holding out her hand. "Again, feel free to take what time you need to recover and rest, you don't need to start right away, but when you feel like you're good to go, let us know", she said warmly.

She nodded and left the room as the clock finished ringing the needed twelve times to signal midnight.

The meeting over, she went to check the hidden room.

You open the door and find a table with two six-packs of Batarangs.
