Judas made himself comfortable on one of the chairs in Mr. Williams' living room. He had been a bit surprised at how Alfred hadn't really looked younger, but older than Mr. Williams but he shrugged it off as Mr. Williams being one of the lucky ones that aged gracefully. That aside, Alfred's reaction to their arrival had been amusing. He had run up to Faye and demanded to know who was spreading such terrible rumors about her at the school so he could go and be 'the hero'. Apparently he wanted to show whoever it was just why you don't mess with Alfred F. Jones or his friends. that was another weird thing. Jones. He and his brother had last names and when he asked about it Mr. Williams had just mumbled something about custody and a messy divorce. Mr. Williams had ushered them inside after that and pointed to the living room for them to get settled in while he grabbed some snacks for his brother. Who had then whined about being kept from the kitchen all day. It was kind of sad to see a full grown man complaining about not being able to eat due to a well trained pet. A pet he had yet to see so he assumed it was small and harmless.

He watch Faye as she settled in on the couch, looking a bit bored and pissed at the same time. It was actually kind of hot and he was really hoping he could convince her his plan was the best cause who wouldn't want a hot girl like that all over you. Was it strange that he found her anger and near tendency to hit him alluring? Maybe he was a masochist.

Trying to get his mind off the girl he took a look around the room. Seemed homey enough, hard to believe the man was a bachelor though. Unless he was gay. That would explain so much, especially why he hadn't actually tried to do anything with Faye. Seriously what straight guy wouldn't want to do her.

She was probably a total animal in bed if her temper was anything to go on.

Ok back to the subject at hand. And here came the, most likely, gay history teacher with a tray of cookies, hot chocolate and was that maple syrup? He watches as Mr. Williams set the tray on the coffee table and grabs a mug that appears to have coffee in it and hands it to his brother. Really, wasn't the guy hyped enough without the need for more caffeine. He acted like he had just chugged five Monster energy drinks. After passing out the other drinks he settles into the other arm chair leaving his brother to share the couch with Faye.

Yep, he was definitely gay.

"So. What is the plan so far?"

Faye grumbles into her hot chocolate before shoot a glare at Judas. "Judas thinks it would be absolutely brilliant to lure out whoever started the rumors by us stating that we are a couple."

Judas grins and takes a sip of his drink, eyes widening at the taste. This was really kick ass hot chocolate. He can totally understand the allure of coming here regularly. "Yeah. It should be the fastest way to find the source and give them what's coming while negating the existing rumor."

Was he getting a death glare from Alfred? Why? It was a brilliant plan. Even more so if it got him laid.

Mr. Williams nods. "That could work. The culprit might get upset that you proved their rumor false and try to come after you I suppose."

"No, actually the rumor is more along the lines that you seduced or took advantage of 'innocent, little Faye' over there. So whoever started it is jealous and want Faye for himself. So they started a rumor to slander you and make Faye here a pariah."

"Do you even know what that word means?" Ouch, if looks could kill.

"Course I do, its someone cast out by society and made to suffer their wrath." There was that glare again, damn she was hot when she was pissed.

"So why do you get to be the fake boyfriend. Faye, I can be your hero for this no problem. I can totally be your fake boyfriend." No one miss the look of abject horror on Faye's face and Mr. Williams looks ready to kill his brother.

"Al! Would you think for a moment. She's 17. You're too old to pose as her boyfriend, it's illegal."

Well this is interesting.

"Well we can always go the extra mile to destroy the rumor and have you come out of the closet Mr. Williams."

Gross did he just do a spit take.

"What!"

All three look at Judas like he just grew another head.

"Mattie's not gay."

"Sure he is, what other kind of twenty-something guy would keep his house so clean. He's definitely gay."

Mr. Williams seems to look a bit sheepish and withdrawn. "I just don't have much to do other than clean the house."

Faye rolls her eyes. "There's only one gay guy here and it isn't Mr. Williams." She smirks evilly at Alfred, "Another reason we couldn't pretend to go out. I don't want your boyfriend bashing my head in with a lead pipe." She calmly takes a sip of her drink as Alfred sputters, trying to deny it. Then he just gives up and slumps in defeat. Gay-dar must not be working right today. Wait, she said his boyfriend would hit her with a pipe!

They must have noticed his expression as Mr. Williams explained, vaguely. "Ivan doesn't like to share." Oh yes, that explains it all. Not.

Mr. Williams slumps in his seat. "Maybe I should just quit. My boss is already telling me I need to stop taking these get-to-know-the-people excursions."

Judas stares, not understanding what he's talking about.

"Yeah, why do you do this sort of thing. It's not like you need the money. When my boss caught wind of what you do he almost threatened to force me to do the same thing. Not cool. It would take time out of my video games." Seriously, was he five.

Faye seemed to be the only one paying any attention to Judas during this and clears her throat to get the brother's attention. "Sorry to interrupt what I'm sure will be a rather interesting discussion of politics and the economy we do have an extra guest."

The brothers look over at Judas and he shrugs, "Don't mind me. I think its kind of funny that you two act like you're some kind of top secret agents or something. You two spies or something." Oh, look how they squirm at that suggestion. Maybe it was true.

Faye stands up at that moment and grabs Judas by the arm and hauls him into the kitchen, leaving the brothers behind. "You figure it out." She shouted back over her shoulder just before leaving the room. When did this become some action spy movie. Oh, he hoped he got the hot chick in the end. That would be killer.

Once in the kitchen she sits him down in a chair and then sits down herself, folding her arms on the table and letting her head fall against them. "Idiots."

Judas watches her before deciding to break the silence. "So, we're going with my plan and having you be my girl?"

She groans, "We don't have much of a choice." Its muffled by her arms and the table but he smirks as he hears it.

"Don't you worry. I'll make you wish it was real by the time we're done." She snorts into the table, followed by laughter. She suddenly sits up, still laughing and now holding her gut as she nearly falls out of the chair.

"Oh yeah, cause you're so my type."

"I am not that bad. You could certainly do a lot worse than me. What about those geeks in chess club and decathlon you hang out with. They your type or something. Talk about beauty and the beast."

She shoots him a glare as she calms down her laughter. "They may not be my type but at least I can hold a decent conversation with them. you on the other hand should have graduated last year, but where are you? Still a junior in high school."

He glares back at her from across the table, "That was low. How do you know I don't have some disorder like dyslexia or something?"

She gives him a deadpanned look. "Oh sure. You have some learning disorder. Its not that you're a lazy prick that doesn't want to do anything but skip class and goof off all the time. You don't even show up for tests half the time." They glare at each other for a moment before Faye sighs and looks away. "You're not an idiot but you sure act like one."

He's just about to make a comment on that when he sees something he can't make sense of. It was large and white and had just come in from the hall. It almost looked like it could have been a dog, but it walked differently and when it turned to face him. He screamed. Like a little girl. It was pathetic really. It wasn't even that big, but it was a fucking polar bear. And Faye seemed like she didn't care. She even smirked and rolled her eyes as he was climbing onto the table as Alfred and Mr. Williams came rushing in. The brothers stood in the doorway staring as the bear made its way over to Faye and she pet it. She fucking pet a polar bear. What the hell is going on here.

"I suppose that means we tell him."

"He's your citizen. Your choice bro."

"Thanks Al, you're so helpful."

Still petting the bear she looks up at him and then to Mr. Williams. "You should probably start with the easiest thing to grasp and work him up to the rest."

Mr. Williams sighs and rubs his forehead. "Why don't you just tell him Faye? I'm going to get some aspirin." He mutters something in French and wanders off through the door and down the hall.

Faye shrugs and looks up at Judas, still on the table. "Oh, get down already. Baby. He's tame. Isn't that right Kumajirou?" She rubs his head and the bear seems to nod in agreement. He seems rather content to continue getting pet so Judas decides its safe to get down. He stays standing though, just incase it comes after him.

"Well like I said, let's start simply. Mr. Williams works for the government mostly. He actually works directly for the Prime Minister. That's why he said his boss didn't think he needed the teaching job. Mr. Williams told me though that he takes a teaching job every few years in order to reconnect with the people. Something about helping him understand their needs or something." She looks up in thought.

With no other information forth coming Judas decides to ask. "So, what's with the bear?"

She scratches her head and looks down at the bear before shrugging. "He sort of raise Mr. Williams from what I understand. Or something like that. He's gotten special permission to keep him." She looks at Alfred, who is leaning up against the door frame watching. "Didn't you say you had a pet whale for a while?"

"Yep, he was cool too. But I also have Liberty. She's a gorgeous bald eagle. I don't keep her at my house though. I just go visit her every now and then."

He has a pet eagle, just who are these people?

Faye just nods, "I suppose that makes sense but I thought Mr. Williams said you had a rabbit at one point that was supposed to have raised you."

"Hey don't make fun of Bunny. I was still really little when He was around." Alfred frowns, "Arthur made him go away though."

"Sorry. So where was I oh yeah. Should probably tell you how old they both are. Makes the thought of dating either that much more disturbing though." At the curious look she goes on. "Mr. Williams is 900, while Alfred is around 400, maybe older."

Judas just stares at her, the girl had lost it. She'd spent way too much time studying. He always knew it would damage your brain to study all the time. A rap to the top of his head draws his attention to the man behind him. "She's not crazy. It's true. Though I don't know if I was born when the founded St. Augustine or at some later point. No one found me till around 1720. Mattie was found by the Vikings. So we have a better idea of how old he is. We're actually pretty young for our kind. Well I am. Mattie just looks young since he didn't gain his independence from Arthur until the 30's."

"What!" He wasn't comprehending this, they were both bat-shit insane.

"They're kind of like immortals. There are others too. One for each nation in the world. Mr. Williams is the Canadian representative. Alfred is the American one. They sort of work as UN ambassadors."

"Do you have any proof?" He manages to squeak out. This was too weird, maybe if he could convince them they were crazy he could get them some help.

Alfred shrugs when Faye looks at him for an answer. "Just old photos, but he'd probably say they were photoshopped or something."

Then Faye looks down at the bear, "You got any ideas Kumajirou?"

Then the strangest thing happens. The bear lifts his head towards her and answers.

"Does this work?"

Was there something in that hot chocolate? Maybe LSD. Those were Judas' last thoughts as he blacked out on the kitchen table.

Ok so that was a whole chapter from Judas' POV. Teenage boys are horn balls aren't they. Well even if they aren't Judas is. So this was a necessary chapter, but at the same time a lot of filler in here. More action next time I think. Please review.
