SMASH Guild Chapter Two- Silence
Upon first approaching the room of his new team, Dark Pit heard something utterly glorious from behind the door- silence. Complete, unbroken silence. It felt like ages since he'd had even a moment of that. Perhaps he wasn't trading one nuisance for another after all.
It was a bit irritating to open said door with all he owned in his arms, but he managed, and found another remarkable thing behind it. Both denizens of the room; the blond he vaguely recognized as Shulk and a white-haired boy who must have been Robin were sitting almost completely still, each with a laser-focus directed at a book. Not doing anything loud or obnoxious, or even talking, but just being completely and independently uncaring about anyone else's existence.
Given their clearly not-Pit-like nature, it took them about a minute to even realize he had begun to unpack his stuff, where his mirror would have noted his presence in half a second. Even when they did notice him, they didn't look up. Instead, Shulk gave a small chuckle and said "I guess you changed your mind then?" before shoving the pen he was holding between the pages of his book and finally actually looking at him. "Well, glad to have you ba-"
He stopped suddenly, eyes widening, and pretty much just stared at him. He finally continued with an awkward laugh after a few seconds. "Y'know, I thought he was kidding."
"Who was kidding?", questioned Robin between the turning of a page. He cast a glance Dark Pit's way, and then closed his own book after sliding a bookmark into it. "Oh. I guess I should have realized robots don't really have the capacity to be melodramatic."
"That's pretty much what happened," Dark Pit told with a smirk. "He acted like you two were completely insane, but unless you have some bodies in your closet, I don't see how you could be worse than Pit and the Link Brigade."
Robin began to laugh, for no apparent reason. "'Link Brigade'? Oh, that's great! I suppose the opposite of Pit would probably be a bit more classically inclined, but I never expected you to be so clever!" Smiling broadly, he added "Welcome to the team Dark Pit!"
Said angel clone had no idea what exactly made that witty, but decided to not question it. Instead, he simply resumed unpacking. "So, why exactly did you decide to change to our team?", Shulk questioned after a moment. "And why weren't we asked about it first."
"If you don't want me, tough luck, 'cause I'm not going back. At least you two seem like I might be able to get to sleep around," was his only reply. Both of them began to snicker for some reason he didn't really get, and this time, he actually asked about it.
"You'll find out soon enough…" was Shulk's painfully unhelpful response. "Er, you see, I don't think your information on this team is entirely accurate."
He had absolutely no idea what that could possibly mean, so he decided not to bother asking and simply try to figure out where best to put his weapons. They seemed to forget him as well, for a while, or at least until Robin let out a stifled yawn and then stood up. "Hey," he questioned. "Is it alright if I turn the lights off? I'm sort of getting tired. I mean, I know you still have things to do, but you can just turn on a lamp."
Though Dark Pit didn't say a word, the other two seemed to take his silence as consent. "Yeah, sure," Shulk agreed. "Good night, Robin."
Robin seemed to blush a bit as he got up to flick the light switch off, and opened his mouth to say something, but a sudden stuttering burst of light stopped him. Quickly, the light cleared to reveal a young woman in his place wearing white pigtails. She took a few steps closer to the clone angel, who was fully aware he was gaping at her, and let out a chuckle.
"Yeah, maybe we should have warned you about this," she sneered. "Y'see, I'm not really one person."
All Dark Pit could say in response was a flat "what".
AN- Yes, I know I said longer chapters. I am sorry. Yes, I know it's been two weeks since I've updated. I am also sorry. I've been busy playing Dragon Que- I mean writing my other stories. But hey, things happened! So, thanks for reading! –Twilight Joltik
