Delaware turned around and stared at me with those brown eyes of his.

"Hey guys, look what the cat dragged in!" He sneered in his usual cocky tone.

"Shut up Delaware" I snapped back at him.

I walked over to my locker and opened it, I was still in the surgery clothes and I was dying to get out of them. I stared at my purple and red armor and it stared back at me. Just as I put on my undersuit Delaware leaned against the locker next to me with a stupid grin on his face.

"So Monty, show me the A.I. then" He demanded.

"I'm not in the mood Delaware, leave me alone" I said sternfully, not wanting to take his shit any longer.

"Aww, don't be like that, just show me your A.I and I'll leave" He was begging now and I couldn't take it any longer.

"I swear to god Delaware, if you don't leave in the next three seconds I will break your fucking nose!" I yelled, making him step back a bit.

"C'mon Monty, it's just an A-". SMACK! Delaware fell to the floor, clutching his nose and yelling in pain. I had done, exactly as I said I would. Wash and York ran around from the other side of the lockers to see me standing over Delaware, with a clenched fist and he was on the floor with his hands over his face.

"Dude! What the hell was that?!" Wash asked with a terrified look on his face. York, on the other hand, had an amused look on his face.

"He had it coming" I replied. I turned to face him and I spat on the floor next to him.

Zeta appeared next to him and held back a laugh. I knew I was going to like her.

I took all of my armor and walked to the changing rooms.

After I got my armor on, I walked towards the Director's office. I approached the door and opened it.

The Director and the Councillor were standing in front of a holographic table that was displaying some foreign objects with strange symbols on the sides.

"No doubt they'll be in a future mission..." I said to Zeta inside my head.

"Probably" She replied.

"Ahh, Agent Vermont, I see you've arrived" The Director barked.

I stood up straight and saluted him.

"Stand down Agent, no need for formalities here" he softened up.

"The Councillor and I have arranged a training resume for you to get used to having an A.I"

At that moment Zeta appeared and was hovering next to my left shoulder.

"Said resume will consist of Last Man Standing, Lock-down paint, Hand-to-hand combat and one of your choice, that'll be all, dismissed"

As I turned to walk away the Director then spoke up and said "Oh and Agent Vermont, try not to hurt other Agents outside of protocol.

Instantly recognizing what he was referring to, I smiled and walked away.

As I was walking down the halls, a sudden pain developed in my stomach.

Realizing I hadn't eaten in days, I headed straight for the cafeteria.

I walked in and saw North, South, Washington and Texas all sat at a table together. South and Tex were arguing about something, fuck knows what, and North and Wash were sat quietly eating their food, trying not to get hurt I presumed.

I shook my head and headed for the serving area, where I got myself a cappuccino, a bacon sandwich, an apple and some crisps.

I picked up my tray and walked over to the table, which had turned into a fully fledged battlefield, since the last time I saw it.

South and Tex were throwing their fists and any object they could get their hand on. Including a marine, who South kicked away.

Feeling more people were going to get hurt, I placed my tray down on the table and grabbed Tex and South by their hair and threw them onto seats.

"LADIES! Will you PLEASE stop fighting?! Their are people trying to eat!" I yelled at them both, who of which were still trying to process what just happened.

Zeta materialized sat on my shoulder and started to laugh at the both of them.

Omega and Theta ten appeared in front of her and were examining her closely.

"Hey, I'm Zeta" She spoke between fits of laughter.

Epsilon then appeared behind them and placed his hands on their shoulders, Omega threw him off and Theta flinched a little.

"Gentleman, say hello to your sister" He said in a confident tone.

"I'm Omega" Omega said in his deep-as-fuck voice.

Theta was a little hesitant at first, but he overcame it when Omega gave him a nudge.

"H-hey, m-my name is Theta, it's nice to meet you" He spoke quietly. Omega gave a nod of approval and Theta loosened up a little.

"So you got your A.I. then?" A female voice I instantly recognized spoke from behind me.

I turned around and hugged her. "How you feeling Monty?" She said smiling at me. I took my helmet off to reveal a wide grin spread across my face.

"Great now you're here" I said in a soft tone.

"Of course you are" She said in an amused tone.

"I am Alaska, now you can sort this out" I said in a cheery tone.

She rolled her eyes, walked towards Tex and South and crouched down by them.

"Now then ladies, what seems to be the problem?" She spoke in an authoritative voice.

Tex was first to speak as South was rubbing her scalp from when I grabbed them.

"Well, South here reckons she could best me in a fight against Maine, so I reminded her that she couldn't even win a fight against me"

"Bullshit" South muttered.

Alaska took a long sigh and stood up. "Well then why don't we all agree that Tex, go and sit next to Monty, who sits by me and North and South, you can sit next to Wash?"

"Fine" Tex spoke in annoyance. "Whatever" South followed.

Me and Alaska then took a seat next to North, who smiled at us and went back to eating his spaghetti.

Tex sat down next to me and brushed her midnight black hair behind her ear.

"Sorry about grabbing you by the hair by the way, it was only to grab your attention, no hard feelings?" I asked softly.

"It's fine, don't worry about it Monty" She spoke, sounding a little defeated. She smiled and started eating the rest of her pizza. Which was probably cold by now.

Feeling sorry for her, I offered her my bacon sandwich which was rewarded by a strange look and then a hug, which like the rest of the table, was surprising to me, as she was supposed to be the biggest badass in the project. I returned the favor by hugging her back and handing it to her.

"You like her, don't you?" Alaska whispered to me. Feeling an interrogation coming on, I shook my head and said "No, I just felt sorry for her, having to eat cold food, that's all"

"As your older sister, I have a right to know these things you know" She said in a serious voice.

"Honestly, I don't, now can I please eat my food?" I said in a tone of annoyance.

"Meh, why do I even bother?" She asked herself.

I couldn't lie forever. I always admired Texas to some degree, but I was never sure of my actual feelings towards her.

"Why don't you tell Alaska the truth?" Zeta asked.

"Oh now you're gonna start?" Embarrassment growing by the second.

"I was simply asking" She said calmly.

"Can Agents, Alaska, Florida, Vermont and Texas proceed to the training room floor in 30 minutes, thank you" F.I.L.S.S.' voice chirped through the mess hall.

"Oh fuck me" I spoke in absolute annoyance. I really couldn't be bothered with this training session, but I guessed it would allow me to get used to Zeta during combat.

Just as things couldn't get any worse, Delaware stormed into the cafeteria with a bandage over his nose. Zeta appeared and had the biggest grin on her face.

Delaware pointed at me with a shaky finger and started to shout at me. "Y-YOU! YOU DID THIS TO ME! NOW IT'S MY TURN!" He clenched his fists, pulled his arm back and before he could thrust it forward. Tex grabbed it, twisted his arm behind his back, kicked the back of his knees and punched him in the back of the head, knocking him out cold.

His friends that had followed him in here, lost their confidence and started to back away, in fear of the same happening to them.

"Thanks" I said, still in a state of disbelief.

"Don't mention it" She replied with a smile.

"C'mon we've got a training session to attend to" She said. I finished my coffee and put my helmet on.

I helped Alaska up, put my trash in the bin and walked out of the cafeteria.

The next hour was going to be a painful one.

A.N: Hey guys, sorry it's been a while, I had other errands to attend to, I hope you liked this chapter, because I stayed up until four this morning to finish it. Just a reminder, I WILL be accepting OC requests, given you provide me with them, I will try to implement them into my story. Have a good one.
