A/N: So this is the Sequel to "The System." It follows Kurt's journey to 'reprimand' Noah's death. Little does he know, Noah's not dead. Will he find out? Wait and see. This chapter is mostly about Noah but don't kill me after you read it. Just wait and read aha. BTW I DO NOT OWN GLEE! (:
Noah sat at the table in the little diner around the corner from the GMDD. He was in casual clothes and he was still sporting that badass Mohawk. The old jukebox was playing oldies music and The Ronettes's "Be My Baby" was filling the diner with an old school feel. He sat across from one miss prom queen Quinn Fabray.
After the Kurt fight that happened seven months ago, Noah was a complete mess. The whole first month he cried and begged god for forgiveness; he prayed that Kurt would forgive him for allowing them to take him away. He just didn't want him dead and he knew that was the only way that the Establishment would let him live. The Establishment wouldn't stop for anything until he was contained. He found comfort, however, in Quinn. She was there for him during that first month and let him just cry. After the second month they had started dating and here they are, seven months later still dating. Of course Noah still loved Kurt but he never let Quinn know that.
"So Noah, how's your day been sweetie?" Quinn said. She was happy that she and Noah could finally have a chance again. They tried it once when she was pregnant their sophomore year but she was willing to try again. She cared about Noah but she had the feeling that he was still distant with her.
He looked up at her and smiled. "It's going fine, sunshine. What about yours?" He asked politely. He called her sunshine because her hair always reminded him of the summer sun. She smiled and shrugged.
"It hasn't been so bad. I finally get to see you. I thought they'd never let me out of training. I don't know why they got us working so hard all of the sudden." She stated. It was true; the last two weeks had been torture for Noah. They made him work out and pushed him to his edge.
He shrugged and smirked. "I don't know either," he grabbed her hand, "but you're strong enough to get through it." He smiled at her. She was strong but not as strong as…he wasn't going to think about him.
The music on the jukebox changed and it played an old classic that even Noah knew. The opening melodies of "Bang Bang" by Nancy Sinatra filled the diner and he couldn't help the shudder that was caused at the sound of the song. The song is so sad and messed up. It talks about how some couple were together since they were little and grew up to love each other but the man left without saying goodbye, leaving the girl probably wondering what the hell happened. Let's just say, the song hit a little to close to home for Noah.
Nancy had just started singing the lyrics to bridge of the song when his phone started buzzing. Thank god. He thought to himself. He looked at the screen to see that it was Finn calling. He pressed answer and said "Hello?"
"Hey dude, you and Quinn need to come back to GMDD right now." Finn said simply. Noah scoffed.
"What? Why?" He asked Finn. Quinn simply mouthed the words 'what's going on' to him while she sat there. He gestured that he'd tell her when he was done.
"Emergency meeting or something. I don't know but Fisher seems angry so you better get back here quick. No detours, got it?" Finn said.
"All right fine, we'll be there in ten." Noah said before hanging up.
"What was that all about?" Quinn asked Noah. Noah saw her staring at him waiting for an answer.
"We have to go. There's some emergency meeting Fisher is calling for some reason. Finn doesn't know but even if he told me I'd be surprised if it was correct information." Quinn nodded and grabbed her things as they made their way out of the diner. Amy Winehouse's rendition of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" playing in the background as they walked onto the street.
They made it GMDD in less than ten minutes and headed to the meeting room where all the formal meetings were completed. When he arrived he saw most all the New Direction members and the Warblers sitting around waiting for them to arrive. "Ah Noah and Quinn, you're finally here. Now we can get the meeting started." Fisher said with a serious tone.
"Yeah so what's this meeting all about anyways?" Noah said grabbing Quinn's hand. He was tired from all the training and he just wanted to relax. He smiled at Quinn before turning back to the front.
Fisher sighed and stared at them. It was like he was in some kind of deep debate in his mind. He didn't know if he wanted to tell them or not. He sighed again taking in a big breath before stating his news. "About a month ago there was a break in one of our facilities." He looked at Noah directly. "Kurt's escaped."
Noah let go of Quinn's hand sending it down hitting the table with a thump. He stared wide eyed at Fisher like the man had just told him they were all going to die tomorrow. Kurt's escaped. But how did he—I thought it was impossible to escape. Noah thought to himself. The man that I loved…still love is out. He probably thinks I betrayed him or something. Oh god…no I would never do that. I didn't want them to hurt him. Noah finally took in a breath. "How did that happen?" He said emotionless. He needed to contain all the feelings right now.
Everyone stared at Fisher expectantly. They were waiting for an answer. He sighed again looking so much older. "You see there's this other group; not much different from yourselves. They are a group of highly trained mutants. All of which are level five mutants so very dangerous. They found out that we were holding Kurt in one of our highly guarded prison facilities and broke in and busted Kurt out. The guards that survived the attack claimed they were unstoppable." Noah just stared at the man.
"Yes but, why would they break Kurt out?" Rachel spoke up. If he didn't know better she almost sounded scared. Noah shook his head.
"The group is known as…The System. They were the first trial students of the GMDD before it was created permanently. They were training here and they become very good at what they did. They became masters of their abilities. But there was a member by the name of Sebastian. He was always a team leader but he never liked the way the Establishment ran things. In fact he hated us for being so cruel in the past. He rounded up a group of his friends and one day they were all gone. They left only one note behind. It simply stated that they would be back and it was signed The System. I think they've finally come back to take down the Establishment once and for all." Fisher rushed out.
Noah frowned. It was no wonder they got Kurt to join them. They were playing to his weak spots; his hatred for the Establishment. Knowing Kurt, he's probably got some kind of destruction plan already made. He sighed. "So what's happening then?" Noah asked.
"They are building an army. It won't be massive but it will be big enough to tear down the Establishment with no hard work; especially now more than ever because they have Kurt." Fisher stated.
"Do you know where he is?" Noah asked hoping that they would.
"No…it seems Kurt has gotten a lot stronger since the last time we saw him. He's got the whole group completely blocked off radar." Everyone looked like they didn't know what to say so Fisher kept speaking. "We think that The System has one more place to go before their army is finalized. On the island outside of San Francisco is the old prison called Alcatraz. We keep some of our more dangerous mutants their aside from Kurt. We want you guys to go their and watch the prison and keep guard. We think that's where they are going to go last to finalize their army."
Everyone nodded but Noah just looked empty. He didn't know what to say. The love of his life probably hated him because he probably thought he was the one that sent him away. Noah sighed again and then nodded. "All right, you guys will be sent to San Francisco, California tomorrow evening so go pack up." Fisher said before exiting the room.
Everyone made a move to get up so they could pack. Noah sat there for a few seconds before finally getting up himself. He felt a hand on his arm and he turned his head to find Quinn looking at him with concern. "Puck, are you alright?" She asked.
No, he thought, I'm not in love with you. I'm still in love with Kurt and he probably hates my guts. I could never fall in love with anyone else. He didn't say any of this but he grimaced at Quinn before saying, "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." He shrugged her hand off his arm before walking away to pack for tomorrow.
A/N: Okay so this is the first chapter. I hoped you guys liked it. I hope you guys understand what's happening. I tried to lay everything out perfectly. I have so much fun writing this. It's like one I start I just can't stop. Next chapter will be up soon I hope. (:
