"And this is the building you will live in with the rest of the Turks. Any questions?" Tseng asked. He was showing the new Turk around; though she seemed to be pretty amazed she was even in his presence. "I guess she doubted she would make it this far but her sister was with us and she is capable with almost any weapon we can throw at her. We'll just have to see how she deals with Reno."
"Now it's time for you to meet the rest of the Turks." He told her.
"Yes sir." "Damn it. You are usually so loquacious but faced with one of the hottest men on earth you get all tongue-tied."
They walked into the three story building the Turks owned and lived in. A dark skinned man was sitting on the couch watching what appeared to be football on the HDTV.
"Rude, this is the new recruit, Elena. Elena, this is Rude." Tseng introduced.
"Hello, Rude was it?"
Rude nodded towards Elena then turned back to his game.
"Rude doesn't talk very often, a stark comparison to his partner Reno."
"My sister told me about them. She said Reno was quite a character while Rude was a gentlemen."
"That they are." Tseng said with a sigh. "Let's head upstairs so you can settle into your room and meet the infamous Reno."
Tseng led them up the stairs and turned right. He opened the last door down the hall.
"And this is your room."
It was square room with plain white walls. There was a closet to the left of the door and a queen bed to the right of it. On the left side there were two bureaus in between two bookshelves. Straight across from the door, facing the two windows was a desk and a computer. There was a ceiling lamp in the middle of the ceiling.
"You may decorate the walls with whatever you wish and-Tseng was interrupted.
"Gun? Is that you? But you died. Sephiroth killed you." Said a voice.
Elena turned on her heels angrily.
"I am not Gun, she was my sister. My name is Elena." She said to a man with striking red hair and bandages all over him.
Reno was shocked when he saw a young woman that was definitely not Gun. She had a bit more of a tomboyish face with shorter hair. "Chill, you just look a lot like her. I'm Reno, Got it memorized?"
Tseng sighed and wished he could get out of here before the fight that he knew would start, started.
"I'd rather you not mention Gun."
"Sure thing… Laney."
Elena was now irritated. "My name is Elena."
Reno smiled knowing he was getting to the new recruit.
"Okey-Dokey Lena."
"My name is Elena. Or can you not hear?" Elena smirked at her comment.
"I can hear perfectly fine Lena."
"It's Elena, not Lena, not Laney. Elena. Get that through your thick bright red head."
Reno faked gasped at her. "Can you not see? My head isn't red. My hair is but not my head."
"STOP ACTING LIKE AN IGNORANT JERK!" Elena yelled, frustrated and not knowing what else to say. "Damn it! Now he's going to think I'm a child. If only he was another guy at the bar. Then I could kick his ass. But he's my coworker.
Reno took a step back, then took advantage. "Ignorant jerk? That's some way to start a friendship. I guess I'll go sulk in my corner." Reno said with a sigh. He then walked into his room.
Elena, still fuming, turned to Tseng and asked, "How much bodily harm are we allowed to inflict on our coworkers?"
Tseng smiled inside remembering when he asked Veld the same question when Reno joined. "Minimal, try to solve your arguments by talking…or shouting if need be."
Elena sighed. First day and she already wants to wring the neck of her coworker. Great, just great.
"I will leave you to put away your things and redecorate if you need to. Somebody will tell you when dinner is ready." Tseng said then left the room.
Elena looked around the room then grabbed her two suitcases. She put the suitcases on the bed then opened the one with clothes in it. She started the long task of unpacking.
"Hey Rude, have you met the new recruit? Isn't it weird that she's GUN'S sister? I swear, I thought she was Gunny at first but then she turned around and showed her face. Not as pretty as Gun's but still… I don't think Gun told us she had a sister. Then again, she didn't tell us much about her personal life. I wonder-, Reno was finally cut off.
"Reno, what did you say to Elena to make her mad?" Rude asked simply.
"You heard that? I thought you were watching the Patriots beat the crap out of the Jets." Rude gave Reno a look that meant "go back to the subject at hand". "All right, I called her Gun by accident, she was irritated by it, I called her Laney and Lena, she told me to call her Elena, I didn't, she told me I had a thick red head, I told her my hair was red not my head, she called me a jerk, then I left the room and came down here to you."
"You are an idiot. You could say sorry and call her by her given name."
"Are you?" Elena asked as she walked into the room. She stood by the handrail on the stairs.
"Why should I say sorry? You called me a jerk!" Reno retaliated.
"You were being a stupid smartass!"
"You still called me a jerk!"
"Ugh, listen, why don't we say sorry at the same time?"
"Sounds good."
"I'm sorry." The two Turks said at the same time.
Rude watched amused.
"But would it be okay of I called you 'Lena?" Reno asked.
"Sure." Elena responded and smiled. Maybe the Red-Head wasn't the demon her sister said he was.
That was fluffy. I promise there will be action in the next chapter. I will try to update twice a week. Maybe three times if inspiration hits. I also promise other chapters will be longer. It just looks so long on my word but so short on here. Oh, and virtual cookies to someone who can tell me how many bullets are in a 9mm gun. You'll see why next time. Ciao!
