"I find those titles offensive." dead-panned Jin.
"Me either." said Cassie.
Jacqui points at the comments section. "Wow. The comments section are all about how awesome Cassie is, SF combat, girl power..." she slyly grins at Cassie and Jin. "And everyone wondered about Cassie's mysterious boyfriend."
The Briggs and Takeda laugh when Cassie and Jin scowl with disgust at each other.
Jax guffaws. "At least whatever you kids quarreled wasn't captured on video. Every video only shows the kicking and punching. I gotta say that was one hell of a lovers' spat." he, Jacqui and Takeda laughed out loud.
Cassie frowns at them before smirking. "At least I dominate Jin in the fight."
"No, you didn't!" said Jin. "Your popularity and the heavy influence of female supremacy made you look like the winner, when in fact it's a tie!"
"Nope. I won. Get a hike, loser!"
Jin grits his teeth. "Why, you..."
"Oh, wait. Got a call from the General." Cassie answers her phone. "... Sergeant Cage here... Yes... Yes, ma'am. Cage out."
When Cassie faces everyone, her expression is solemn. "The General wants us to report to her in the morning."
...
Happy news for Jacqui and Takeda: Because of yesterday's fiasco at the park courtesy of Cassie Cage and Kung Jin, their team is suspended in going out for missions as ordered by General Blade.
Takeda's grinning from ear to ear as he and Jacqui are left alone in a corner of the cafeteria. "Suspended. You know what this means?"
"We get to seriously date." answers Jacqui.
"Yeah. But... I don't want to be an ass here... I think it's better if we don't tell your dad that we're going out for a date again. You know what happened, right?"
Jacqui grimaces as she remembers last night's date. "Yeah. You got a point."
"So... Tonight?"
Jacqui smiles. "Yeah."
"Great."
Then comes along Cassie Cage, towing a poker-faced Kung Jin behind, to ruin their day.
Cassie's grinning from ear to ear as she drops a file on the table. "We got ourselves a mission despite our suspension." she said in a happy, sing-song voice.
Takeda and Jacqui are dreading the answer when they ask, "What!? How!? Why!?"
"The General's not pleased with our performance when around civilians so she wanted us to improve on how to blend in. And so we're given to do guard duty on an event called The International. Since dad's away, someone else is going to take his place."
Jacqui has a bad feeling about this but she needs to hear it if her premonition's true. "And who's going to be our senior?"
"Uncle Jax of course!"
So much for the date that Jacqui and Takeda are looking forward to.
