"Never thought I'd be so bored before" said Cammie as she lifted up her Ether visor and rubbed her eyes "Is it weird that 'ah wished for another shot at the Union?". It had been a week since the GL team defeated 'Nemesis' and they were starting to feel more secure of using the network. They had returned to RTASA with Migas after their arrangement with the Vanguard and they've been waiting for the Union to make their next move, which after the Union lost their only Holon, which was nothing for week.
"I'm not too sure, but I'm definitely itching for some action" said Kazu as he landed a high kick to a training dummy they had in their bunk, knocking it to the ground. Kazu walked over and picked up the dummy, brushing off the dummy's shoulder. Valentina was beside her bed, stretching her leg over her head as she listened to some music to help her relax, humming softly to the music.
Yaz was going over some files about the Union, trying to figure out where they would strike next. The long term silence wasn't usually the Unions M.O, after one mission was over, they would normally have one the very next day or two days after the first mission ended. She started to think that they had something big planned since there was no mention of the Union from anyone or anywhere.
Migas was in the common's room, just finishing a level in Siege and fist-bumped the air "Yes, new high score! Nicely done, amigo" he said as he retracted his Ether visor and Chase's MR overlay appeared beside him "Yeah, think you're ready to try hard mode now?" Chase joked, causing Migas to try and punch his shoulder, only for his hand to go through the hologram "says the guy who only plays with blasters instead of real weapons" he responded, causing Chase to laugh "I'll give you that one" Chase said as they both laughed. "Well, I'm going to floor to work on the Holons, meet you there?" Migas asked and Chased shook his head "Nah man, you go ahead, I need to do something" he responded and Migas nodded, Chase's overlay disappearing afterwards.
Chase appeared in the teams bunk "Hey guys-WOAH!" he said as the training dummy flew straight at him and through him. Kazu looked to Chase and bit his lip "Sorry about that, man" Kazu said, Julian giving him a dead panned look, causing Kazu to rub his neck. Cammie looked over to them and jumped off her bed above Val's, walking over to them "What's up, boss?" she asked Chase as Kazu walked over to put the dummy back. "Migas is going to be doing some maintenance on the Holons, I thought we could help by giving some diagnostics from the inside" Chase explained Cammie and Kazu nodding as he looked over to Yaz still looking through the reports and Val with still listening to her music.
"Kazu, tell Val about the plan and get yourselves ready to upload, I'll tell Yaz" Chase said, Kazu giving a thumbs up as he walked over to Valentina to tell her the plan as Cammie left the room. Chase walked over to Yaz sitting at the desk in the corner of the room, still looking through the files, finding images and videos of the Union killing innocent people, officers and soldiers. Chase waited till Kazu and Val left the room and he walked up behind Yaz, jokingly lowering his holographic hands over her eyes "Guess who?" he quizzed jokingly.
Yaz snapped out of her thoughts and looked up, seeing Julian looking down to her with a joking grin. Yaz gave a soft chuckle as she turned to face him "Sorry, Chase, I was just trying to figure out what the Unions next plan is, they've never been quiet for this long" she said as she turned of the holo-files. "It's cool, Yaz, you're just trying to help" Chase responded, giving a reassuring smile. Yaz smiled back "So, what was it you needed?" she asked. Chase was about to explain the plan with Migas, but a memory of something crossed his mind "I...wanted to ask you about something" he said, bending down to sit without a chair.
"Of course, what is it?" she responded with, Chase placed a hand behind his neck and scratched it "When Cal replayed Doc's message, I thought I heard something pass through my hand after it ended, I looked down and didn't see anything," he stated, Yaz giving a surprised but worried look, Chase continued "but, i did see your hand close to mine and closed, so I have to ask, did you try to hold my hand?" he asked.
Yaz gave a more worried look and looked to the side "I-it wasn't-I didn't mean-" she gave up and sighed, Chase trying to reassure her "Hey hey, It's alright, I was just curious, you didn't do anything wrong" he stated. Yaz slowly looked up to him, gently giving a nod "Y-yes, I-i did" she said. Chase gave a surprised looked as he looked to her "if it's alright to ask, why?" he asked, Yaz feeling ashamed with herself "I-i...didn't want to feel like I was going through the pain by myself, a-and...my first thought was to reassure myself by grabbing the only thing left imported to me..." she said.
Chase looked to Yaz with a mixture of shock and confusion. He slowly stood up and knelt down in front of her, gently placing his holographic hand on hers "Do I really mean that much to you, Yaz?" Chase asked. Yazamin looked to the side sheepishly and nodded "You and Doctor Weller were the only people who accepted me for who I was, not what I was" she began "You two gave me a new home, and a new family, though I never told you, which I'm very sorry for" she said, looking down. Chase smiled reassuringly as he placed a hand against her cheek.
"You have nothing to be sorry for, Yaz, we have and still accept you for who you are" Julian said, making Yazamin smile "Thank you, Chase" she said as she slowly lent forwards, stopping when she realised what she was doing as both their eyes widened. Yaz quickly turned away out of shame and fear, but Julian remained stunned. A few seconds passed as Chase managed to find his words, still slightly stunned "Y-yaz?" he said, looking to her.
Yazamin still looked away, not wanted to shame herself or Chase again. Julian soon put both her gestures on the plane and Yaz's sudden movement just then together, his MR overlay giving him a slight blush. Chase gently lean't forwards, Yaz feeling his overlay touching her forward as a kiss sound was heard, causing her to blush and slowly look up to Chase, seeing the blush on his cheeks. They both stared at each other for a few seconds, afterwards Yaz lean't up to Chase, giving his overlay a kiss on his lips.
Chase blushed more as they continued to stare into each others eyes deeply, Chase breaking the silence "H-how long have you been waiting for this to happen?" he asked, giving her a smile and small chuckle. Yaz blushed more and chuckled again "A-a few months ago before we arrived at the Anvil" she said, Julian showing a bit more of his blush "I'm sorry for not noticing, I think me wanting to see Miranda after so long blocked me from seeing anything else" he stated, looking down slightly. Yaz placed her hand against Chase's cheek and lowered her head a little to look up to him "It's alright, Julian, all I wanted was for you to be happy again, so I tried not to show my feelings for you" she said.
"I'm still sorry things didn't work out for you two" she said. Chase gave her a smile again "It's alright, Yaz, and thank you" he said, Yaz smiling back as they both leaned in again for another kiss, but stopped as they heard the door to their room open, looking over to see Valentina looking at them, giving a mischievous grin. Yazamin and Chase both stood up, turning away from each other, Chase pretending to cough as Yaz whistled cluelessly. Val turned to walk away "I didn't see anything, but in future, remember to lock the door" she said, teasing them.
Yaz and Chase both looked at each other after the door closed again, both smiling foolishly. "o-oh right, they'll be waiting for us" Julian remembered and told Yazamin the plan with Migas. Yaz nodded before giving Chase another kiss on his cheek before heading to the door "S-see you on the floor, Fly-boy" she said jokingly, swinging her hips side to side as she walked to the door as a tease, causing Chase to blush more and chuckle again as he vanished.
