A little later that day he jumps on Rude's shoulders with a big smile, "So what do you wanna do?"
"Hmmm, well we could go find a cure fer yer tail Kitty-kitty. Or go play chess? Perhaps we could go make mini-bombs and set them up in Hojo's lab?" The shaded man suggested after being jumped on.
"Mini bombs huh? Sounds good." Reno gives an evil smile.
Rude grins and heads down to ballistics to get started.
Reno follows and stares at all the options, "This'll be fun, so what're ya thinkin'? Any idea?"
"Of course I have an idea. Bombs are my specialty after all!" Rude made a muscle pose before grabbing up some materials and setting to work. "How about you find any spare small pieces of metal lying around Red?"
Reno facepalms and laughs, "I'll take a look." He searches and brings every little thing he can find back to Rude. "I don't really know how to make one so I kinda just grabbed everything."
Rude looked up from mixing chemicals together, "That's great, thanks." He grabs up a welder and begins welding bits together into small circles.
Reno watches intently, trying to figure out how it works, "Uuuhh...hmmm." But remains totally clueless. Then Reno's ears perk up and he asks, "Soooooo...what does what exactly. I only use 'em once they're made."
"Heh, well first I'm making the container," He held up the rounded metal ball he was making, "Then I'll put the chemical in it." Points to the mixture he'd just finished making. "After that I'll need to make a timer that I can hook up to it and a detonator to remotely set it off. That's the hard part."
"Huh!" Reno was pretty impressed by Rude's knowledge in bombs. He leaned over and sniffed the mixture only to sneeze at the scent.
"Reno." Rude shook his head, "That stuff could knock you out, don't smell it."
Reno had a slight sneezing fit but quickly got control of it. "Bleh! Nasty! The hell's in that stuff?"
"That's a secret I'm not gonna share Red." Rude chuckled as he started the delicate work of making triggers for the bombs and setting them all to the same controller.
Reno watched, half expecting it to explode out of nowhere. "So...you sure you know what yer doin'?"
Rude just gives him a look and finishes up.
Reno grinned, excited to get to work. "So, now we just plant the bombs in the lab, right?"
"No, we don't just plant the bombs. Sheesh, have a little more respect." Rude gathered up all of his little bombs and placed them carefully in a non-descript bag. "First we go to Hojo's lab and find good places to stash them that will do the most damage but not hurt anyone. Cause Rufus and Tseng'll skin us if we hurt anyone, even Hojo, who works for ShinRa."
Reno grumbled with annoyance. "Ok, ok. How was that 'disrespectful'?" he asked and flicked his tail.
"Bombs are an art dude, you don't just make them and then blow them up."
Reno gave the other a slightly unimpressed look. "Uhhh. Ok. So let's go find the right spots then."
Rude rolled his eyes; he didn't expect his partner to understand. Moving down the long hallways they wound their way down to Hojo's lab, "If he's here he's gonna wanna see those ears Kitty-kitty."
The redhead pulled the hat down on his head and frowned. "Over my dead body!"
Rude chuckled and slid his keycard to get into the lab, the doors sliding open silently admitting the two Turks. "Be sneaky Reno," Rude said handing him a handful of bombs, "And don't drop them."
"I won't but where the hell do you want them?"
"Like I already said, seriously you need a longer attention span, anywhere that they'll be hidden and do a lot of damage when they go off." Rude answered, beginning to move around the other side of the room from Reno.
Reno frowned and began placing the bombs. "Jer..." He whispered.
Rude went around placing the bombs, when he was out he looked around at all of Hojo's 'specimens' and noted two that were worthy of being 'messed' with. He let the talking wolf out and shut down the support to Jenova, which of course set alarms off.
"Well that was smart." The apparently snarky wolf said.
Rude walked up to Reno, "Hope you're done, cause we gotta go!"
"What the hell did you do, yo?" Reno froze at the sight of the canine and slowly backed away.
"The wolf's not the problem, I shut down Jenova..." Rude shrugged and headed for the door.
"You WHAT? Rude yer such a dumbass!" he yelled and fled as fast as his feet would carry him.
Once safely back in their room, the wolf included for the moment, Rude's PHS rang. "Yeah boss? No, don't know anything about it. What's Jenova again. Oh an Ancient... but it's that what Aerith is? They're nothing alike man. No, Reno's right here, been with me all day. Yes boss we'll stay in our room while the SOLDIERs figure things out." He hung up the phone and grinned at the two of them.
Reno stared wide eyed at his partner, amazed the turk would lie to their boss. "Seriously...?" The redhead quickly jumped on the bed to get away from the wolf.
"Seriously, what's your problem human?" The wolf asked from its place by the door.
"Yes seriously Reno. Do you wanna get fired? Besides, I can't wait for Seph to find out about Jenova for real. That that 'thing' ain't his mama." Rude came over and sat on the bed.
"Shuddup!" he yelled at the canine and pulled his legs up to his chest, not trusting it for a second. He continued glaring at it as he slowly moved closer to his partner.
"Aw is the kitty-kitty afraid of the puppy?" Rude teased his partner as he wrapped an arm around him before addressing the wolf, "What's your name anyway? There were only numbers on your cage."
"I am Nanaki of Cosmo Canyon." The wolf seemed unfazed by Reno's lack of good graces.
"Don't call me kitty and no I'm not scared...I just don't like him..." He lied.
"Liar. You have no reason to dislike him at all except for the kitty traits that Hojo so lovingly gave you." Rude kissed Reno's forehead. "Well Nanaki, once things settle down here a bit we'll see about getting you back home."
Reno was flicking his tail back and forth angrily and leaned against Rude's shoulder. "I'm gonna ring that idiot's neck...and you!" he said, pointing at Nanaki. "Don't come within 6 feet of me! Got it?!"
The wolf simply shook its head and lay down by the door. Rude grinned, "Yer such a whiner Red." He kissed Reno and began playing with the twitching tail again.
"I am not. I just don't like him and why do you keep playing with my tail?!" The redhead seemed to be getting more and more irritable as things went on. He was becoming very defensive but also noticed he was a bit drowsy. He was guessing it was because cats slept around 18 hours a day.
"Because I like your tail. Why don't you try to get some sleep, we're going to be here a while." Rude let go of his tail in favor of running a hand through his hair.
"But I don't wanna sleep." he whispered as he let Rude continue. Reno was enjoying the attention when he got the shock of his life. He purred.
Rude grinned as he heard Reno purr and laughed when the man jumped a little when he realized he'd done it. "You dork." Rude scratched behind his ears a bit before resuming playing with his hair.
Reno wanted to tell his partner off for that but shivered when he scratched his ear and lowered his head a bit, loving the feeling.
Rude simply watched as Reno relaxed into his strokes, it was rather comfortable and the big man began getting a little sleepy himself.
Reno frowned and looked at Nanaki. "So what do we do with the mutt?" he asked
Rude flicked Reno's ear, "Don't be rude Reno. Like I said, once everything's cooled down we'll take him home. In the meantime, I'ma go to sleep." The wolf was already fast asleep on their floor.
The smaller Turk pouted and laid back on the bed, snuggling into his pillow. "Fine but I'm not falling asleep with that thing in the room."
Rude smirked and continued running a hand through Reno's hair, he figured that by the time he fell asleep Reno would be asleep as well.
Reno kept one eye on the wolf at all times because his instincts wouldn't seem to let him relax so close to the canine.
"Close yer eyes Red. The wolf isn't going to eat you or chase you up a tree, it's sleeping way over there by the door. And I'm right next you. Nothing's going to happen." Rude removed his shades, setting them on the bedside table and then took his boots off before cuddling back up with his kitty.
Reno sighed and snuggled against Rude's chest. "I know. I can't calm down with him here..." The turk obviously had too much pride to admit he was a little scared and tried to ignore his fear.
Rude wrapped the kitty-kitty in his arms burying his face in his neck, "Just hush." And he was out like a light, comfortable and warm with arms full of Reno.
Reno snuggled in and kept a close eye on Nanaki until he could no longer stay awake and drifted off to sleep.
