Okay, so this has pretty much come out of like nowhere, but I think this will have a lot of potential if I can get it up and running. Essentially, this is about as AU as you can get. In this world Quinn and friends are group of rag tag thieves. I imagine this takes place in the future, like 22nd century or something like that or maybe just 100 years from present day, idk. Anywho, in this story eventually Quinn and Rachel will meet up (next chapter * cough cough *) and fall in love (although that won't be until much later). I plan on this being a gradual type of love, not just a "Hey, your hot let's date!" type of thing. Um, I am not really sure what else to tell you without giving too much away, also because I am still trying to figure out my direction with this. Anyway, I am done rambling. This is unbeta'd so bare with me. Also, if you know anyone who would be interested in being my Beta let me know. =^)
On with the story!
Chapter One: Action
"How are those blueprints coming, Wheels?" Is the only thing that is heard other than furious typing on a keyboard.
Dark green eyes hidden under thick rimmed frames search the computer screen.
"Well?" A gentle yet, affirmative female voice questions.
"Patience. You can't rush perfection. I am trying to get you a layout of the entire building, along with the quickest routes to our goal. This isn't your standard in and out job here, Quinn. There are a lot of elements that must be accounted for."
"So, what are you saying? That you can't do it?" Light hazel eyes become fierce as they stare at the screen.
The wheel bound man sighs deep and pulls off his glasses. "That's not what I mean," he sighs as he starts to massage his temples, " I am simply saying I want this to go without failure. This is one of the biggest heist we have ever attempted. Security is no push over-"
A low grunt is heard behind the pair as they turn to see a mocha-skinned woman lazily lounging on a couch filing her nails. "Nothing I couldn't handle." She grunts out under her breath, never taking her eyes off her hand.
"Oh, I beg you differ." The man mummers to himself.
"What was that four eyes?" growled the Latina.
"Apparently, you heard me. And you rushing in and shooting or seducing anything with a pulse won't work here. It takes excessive planning, which is my job. So, if you don't mind I would like to finish doing it." He finished by placing his glasses back onto the rim of his nose.
Dark brown eyes bore into the back of his head and mumbled something about wheelchairs and a flight of stairs.
Quinn worried her hair and turned her attention back to the electrical wizard.
"Don't mind Santana, Artie. We're all on edge about this mission. Take your time." A firm squeeze on the shoulder and a sincere smile are enough to push him to continue.
After several minutes of erratic typing and code cracking, Artie lets out a triumphant, "got it!" while his grin stretched from one ear to the other.
"Really?" Blonde hair and hazel eyes move towards the screen, staring in disbelief.
"Really. I have every scenic route in the place. Not to mention every code to disarm the major alarms and access to all of the security cameras."
"Way to go Point Dexter." Santana mused with mild enthusiasm. In one swift motion she is off the couch and standing on the other side of Artie, "well, when do we leave?" A devilish grin starting to play on her lips as her eyes glitter with unknown excitement.
"As soon as you guys get packed up and dressed. I'll have Finn get the choppers ready."
As the two women start to leave Artie grabs a hold of Quinn's wrist. "There is still a lot that can go wrong. Be sure to follow my instructions and call in when you're unsure, got it?"
A small toothy grin tugs at the blonde's lips. She bends down until she is eye level with her friend and places a soft hand on his cheek. "Are you worried about us?" She teases.
Artie's brows knit together as his cheeks start to color with a light pink. "Well, I have good reason to be," his chest puffs out slightly as he takes a deep breath then deflates as he releases it. "You guys are the only family I have… if anything was to happen to you… even Santana," sad eyes connect with Quinn's as he finishes. "I wouldn't know what to do with myself."
The pad of Quinn's thumb lightly rubs against his cheek and pulls away. "Don't worry, Art. Everything will work out fine. This is just another day at the office for us. Besides, when we come back we'll all be incredibly rich."
Artie's eyes drop to his lap to observe his fidgeting hands, "If you say so. Just don't do anything stupid."
"My life is based off of stupid." She jokes as she starts to walk away, only to stop and seriously say, "I won't."
Santana burst back into the room in her sleek black mission gear looking at Quinn with a very annoyed expression on her face. She looks between the two several times while a vein in her forehead slowly starts to pulsate. Her eyes finally settle on Quinn, "What the hell are you two in here doing? Making Lifetime movies or something? Lets get a move on it Fabray!" she barks out.
Artie looks at Quinn with a slight grin, "can I retract my statement of missing her? Because I am starting to think I could live without."
Quinn chuckles at this and notices the vein in Santana's forehead growing larger.
"Don't pop a blood vessel, S. I am going to change right now."
"You better be! And no assing around either." Brown eyes find their way back to the man in the room. "And what do you mean you won't miss me, Mandark? I am the eye candy of this here group and without me-"
Quinn laughed as the door closed behind her. She was glad to leave before that rant got started. She walked down the steely corridors of their airship to her room. She typed in a code as the doors flew open. As she stood in the doorway she stared at a picture of the thing that was going to make her a very rich woman and change all of their lives forever. She walked over to the board that had various pictures and information about the treasure. One of her hands found its way to the picture and slowly slid down it. "The Glee." She breathed out, "you are about to make me a very happy lady."
Okay, so you could be kind of confused by this point, which is okay. It's kind of what I am going for, I don't want this story to be predictable, I want it to be a surprise all of the way. I know this is short but I want some kind of feedback before I attempt to continue on with this. I would really appreciate it if you let me know what your thoughts were by clicking on that magic button at the bottom of this page… you know… the one that says "Review". Just a thought. =^D
Oh, also, if you are still confused on where I am going with this let me know and I will try to clear it up for you.
