Title: Lightening Game
Disclaimer: I own none of the original story; it all belongs to some other guy.
Summary: Otacon and Snake are living in New York, looking for any leads on Metal Gear within the internet. While Snake is checking a lead, Otacon makes an interesting new friend. By hitting him with his car. Snake is completely unaware of their new roommate hanging around, till he returns. [And more slight edit], [onesided]SnakexOtacon/OtaconxOC. Male OC.
Warnings: There's gonna be m/m relations later… or sooner… and probably quite a bit of violence, well, not a lot, but some depending on who's around at the time.

Lightening Game
Chapter 9- Something Witty
Otacon was dragged down the stairs and through a small wooden rickety looking door. As he and Jake passed through the door, a very large and muscular man stood on the other side. He looked down at Otacon and Jake as they passed him. He gave a small nod to Jake as they walked by.
"Don't worry about him, he might look like he has a 'cop face' and all that, but he's really a nice guy. He's also very charismatic, and forceful. That's why he's such a good bouncer." Jake said as the man continued to glare at Otacon even after they were past him.
"Uh, you mind if I ask where we're going?" Otacon asked slowly. He wasn't too fond of being dragged or tossed around. He stared at all the people that they passed by as they walked through a large underground warehouse looking building.
"We're heading to the other side. There, I can borrow a phone and call up Spence and then he can come and get you. And you won't have to worry about that sketchy stalker guy of yours." Jake smiled as he continued to lead him around.
One woman that Otacon passed looked like she was a prostitute. She was wearing very little clothing. He blushed and turned away. She didn't notice him, or at least didn't look like she did. Otacon looked around the warehouse again and actually saw the amount of people that were crowded around.
There was a DJ playing house music relatively loud, and there were strobe lights and such everywhere. As Jake pulled a phone from seemingly nowhere to call Spencer, Otacon asked where they actually were.
"Dude, we're at the one and only Lightening Game Club. Not to brag, or freak you out, but this is the number one hangout spot for criminals and their families." Jake spoke as though there was no danger at all.
Otacon paled. He didn't want to look around at the people anymore, not if they were all criminals.
"Hey Spence!!" Otacon looked up at Jake as he supposedly got a hold of Spencer. There was a small pause. "No, dude, I'm at the LG, and guess who I just dragged in here from the streets?" Another pause. Otacon could only guess by the expression on Jake's face that Spencer wasn't wonderful at the guessing game.
"Dude, no. You know damn well that I'm avoiding a beating from her for as long as possible. Try again." Otacon watched as Jake's face went from false disappointment to excitement. "Oh? I didn't even know he was back in town. But I'm sure that if you thought about this, you'd eventually figure it out in, oh I don't know, five years. I'll give you some clues, it's a guy, he's adorable, and he hit you with his fuckin' car."
Otacon wasn't sure what he had expected to happen, the music in the background was loud, so he could barely hear what Jake was saying to Spencer, but he underestimated Spencer, and the phone.
"What the fuck are you doing bringing him there!?!" Otacon heard that loud and clear. It wasn't Jake, but Spencer's voice. Jake actually had to hold the phone several feet away from his ear. "Touchy." Jake whispered.
"Listen, dude, just get down here and we can figure some stuff out, alright? And stop screaming at me." Jake shut the phone, even as Otacon could still hear Spencer on the other end.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to wait for him. Nice place isn't it?" Otacon looked around again. It really did look like a huge underground warehouse. But as he looked around, he actually noticed the people. They were clubbers. He was never big into the clubbing scene, but to know that these people were not only clubbers, but criminals, that was a bit more intense than he thought it should be.
"Uh, did you say that everyone in here was a criminal?" Otacon asked carefully.
Jake looked up awkwardly as he held out the phone and it was taken by someone Otacon couldn't even see. "What? No, I said that everyone down here was either a criminal or related to a criminal. Like that chick over there," he pointed to a woman that wore a sexy red pleather dress. "She is the daughter of the boss of one of the more underground and secretive crime syndicate rings that ships boxes of ammunition to mercenary factions over seas."
Otacon paled. As he looked around, he heard a commotion heading toward them. Before he even had time to ask Jake what was going on, Spencer came out of nowhere. He grabbed Jake by the collar of his shirt and punched him square in the face, causing Jake to fall onto the floor, still grinning.
"You Idiot! Why the hell would you bring him here? I thought I told you not to involve him in any of this?" His voice got softer as he helped his friend up from the ground. Otacon stood off to the side, not wanting to be immediately linked to the two boys by the amount of people that had stopped to stare at them.
"Chill out man, jeeze, how'd you get here so fast anyway? I thought you were going to Sarge's place?" Jake brushed himself off and looked quizzically at Spencer.
"I was going back to his apartment cause I left my keys in his room."
Otacon froze. "Wait, you were going back to my apartment? That's not a good idea. My roommate came back sometime after you left…."
Spencer looked over at him. "He's back? Really? Huh, I think I saw a guy walking toward your building a few minutes after I left. He was walking from the garage I parked in." Otacon's shoulders slumped.
"Did he have brown hair and a dark blue jacket on?" Spencer nodded. Otacon sighed. "That was probably him."
"Oh, that makes sense now. He kinda smelled like you actually. I was confused when I saw him, and he just gave me this weird look." Spencer shrugged before he looked guilty of something. "He saw the bruises didn't he?" He reached out to Otacon's face.
"Yes, he did. And he was none too happy. He was pissed off." Otacon shoved Spencer's hand away from his face. "He was practically ready to tear my head off. I can only imagine what he would do to you if he found out that you were the one that caused this."
As soon as he finished his sentence, he saw a dark shadow pass across them and grab Spencer by the collar of his shirt and punch him across the face. Much like Spencer had done to Jake, only this seemed more violent.
He backed away as he recognized the dark figure. "Dave!? What are you doing?" He tried to ask, but Snake wasn't listening. He reeled back to hit Spencer again, but his arm was caught by Jake, who managed to grab Snake around the arms and drag him away from Spencer.
Spencer moved over near Otacon. "Wow," He wiped at the trail of blood leading from his nose and mouth. "You sure weren't kidding about that guy, huh?" He nodded to Jake who was fighting to hold Snake back still. Jake disappeared.
Otacon blinked. He looked over at Spencer waiting for some kind of excuse as to where the other two had gone. Spencer just glared at the space they had been. "Come on." Spencer dragged him to the area and they actually walked through a doorway that was pitch black.

Author's Note: .................................................. Please don't kill me.....
I didn't mean to skip an update, I've been working on college stuffs and I've been trying to avoid this guy that may [or may not] be in love with me. I'm sorry it's been twice as long as it should have been to update this, but after a VERY intense review from SOMEONE I realized that I needed to update this.
I haven't forgotten about it, I promise. And I don't intend to dissapear for several years without a word to anyone. I'll keep updating, but I do warn you now; updates will no longer be as they were supposed to be [the whole 5 day wait...] updates will now be about 10 days apart. ONLY BECAUSE!! I still need to do some hardcore editing on the few chapters that I actually have written out, and then I also have to get on with the weird plot... that should have existed by now....
Sorry about the wait that was, and will be. Good day, or night, to you all, for now.
