EP 11: Listen To Your Heart

Squad 130 was in the gym, getting a work out in. Liam was bench pressing with Gust spotting the Blue 2, Liam pushed the two fifty pounds on each side of the bar up and down. Jim was jumping rope at a quick speed, which was working a sweat. Chloe was punching a punching bag, with Evaak holding onto the bag.

"Stop," Evaak told Chloe.

"Why?" Chloe asks.

Evaak stepped forward, "Do not swing your arms when you punch. Keep it close, and then deliver. It'll be more powerful." She said.

Chloe nods, "Okay."

"Try it," Evaak stood behind the bag and held onto it.

Chloe nods to herself and does what Evaak said, she deliver a more powerful punch that time. Evaak looked at the girl in pink, she smiled at the half human hybrid.

"Thanks, Evaak." Chloe said.

Evaak shakes her head, "We're off duty. Call me Eva."

Chloe looks at Evaak, "Alright then." Chloe holds a small smile.

Evaak attempted to smile back but stopped in the middle of trying.

Across the room, Liam was putting the bar back on the rack with Gust's help. Liam sat up and then was handed a towel to wipe off the sweat from his face by Gust, Liam nods at the leader and began to rub the sweat from his face. Gust leans against the weight lifting unit and looked at Liam.
Liam grabbed a water bottle and then after drinking the water, he turned to Gust.

"How are you feeling after that last mission?" Liam asks.

Gust shrugs, "Not sore anymore." He said.

Liam nods, "Good. Good."

Gust nods to himself.

Jim slowed down from his jump rope, holding the rope in his hands as he steadied his breathe. He wandered over to the floor where he grabbed his ice cold bottle of water. After that, the young man sat down on the bench he had his water sitting next to. Jim took a huge drink of the water which calmed his burning body for a bit. He had worked up a sweat.

Gust glanced over at Jim, "You alright over there, Jim?" Gust asks.

Jim nods, "Yes."

Gust looks down then back at his teammate, "Last mission- none of it was your fault." He said sternly.

Jim froze and then turned to look at his leader.

Gust kept the calm expression, "It wasn't your fault." Gust said.

Jim just looked at Gust and then nodded slowly.

Chloe and Evaak had stopped what they were doing when they had heard the two talking. Liam seemed to be slightly interested in as well, but he didn't speak because it would seem rude to join in without being invited into the conversation. Jim took another sip of his water and then as he placed the lid on it, he turned back to Gust.

"Think he'll be okay?" Jim asks.

Gust knew who he was talking about, "Maxwell?"

Jim nods.

"I'm not sure," Gust said, "He's been through a lot."

Jim looks from the water bottle, "Are we doing any good?"

Liam then forced himself into the conversation, "Yes. We are doing something good." He said.

Jim looks at Liam, "Liam?"

Liam stands up, "The Galactic Storm has been founded on protecting not only the people on Earth but other beings in on other planets in other universes." Liam said.

Chloe walks over and smiles at Jim, "Yeah. You may not have seen the good yet, because of the recent mission." Chloe said.

Jim looks at her, "What good have we done?" He asks.

Evaak walks over, "We escorted a Tyarqian leader of the Federation back to Tyarq." Evaak said.

"We found a mole in the Federation, and had gotten information on Grant's team that involved the Brotherhood of Sinners." Liam said.

Chloe nods, "We also stopped a terrorist attack on the Federation from my mother and two colleagues of her's." Chloe said.

Gust nods as well, "We brought a gang to justice in the slums." Gust said.

Jim looks down for a second, "Yeah but the thing with Maxwell-."

Gust walks over, "We still caught the bad guys. Sure, Lionel was killed and its a shame but it could have ended a lot worst." Gust said.

Chloe nods and glanced at Jim then to Gust, "We were lucky we weren't hurt too badly."

"And that Maxwell had minor injures." Liam said.

Jim kept a frown, "I guess."

Gust placed a hand on his colleague's shoulder, "Its a grim world out there, but we have to be the ones who keep hope out there." Gust said.

-GALACTICSTORM-

A couple of hours later

Liam was marching through the halls of the Federation HQ, he was looking for his brother. He wanted a word with his brother on how to be a better leader for when its his time to become a leader. As Liam looked for his brother, he came across a room that he hadn't seen before. He walked toward the door and saw there was a key slot to enter. He didn't have a key card to slide through it.

From behind he hears, "Liam," He turns around to see a Red 1 female.

This Red 1 had long black hair in a braid ponytail, small brown eyes, fair skin tone, skinny, but also slightly muscular, and was 5'9". She looked to be twenty-four years old, but also looked quite young. She was wearing the Galactic Storm uniform with the red pin that only Red 1 members have on their uniform.

"Yue," Liam said.

Standing in front of Liam was Chinese-American Galactic Storm Red 1, Yue Zhang. She had a smirk on her face seeing the young Blue 2 standing there with a confused expression on her face.

"It seems you're lost." She said.

Liam shakes his head, "I'm looking for my brother." He said.

Yue walks over to the door which is by Liam, "Well you can't go in there." She points to the door.

Liam frowns, "Why not?"

"Red 1 only." Yue said.

Liam had a pout look on his face which made Yue laugh lightly.

"It isn't a secret club or anything, Liam." Yue said.

Liam looks at her more serious, "Then what is it?" He asks.

Yue glanced at the door, "It's where we debrief. The Red 1 do there own personal debrief with the general who gives us our mission." Yue said.

Liam seemed a bit surprised, "Really?"

Yue nods, "You didn't expect being a Red 1 to be a walk in the park." She said.

"Will you hurry up and debrief with the general already!" Shouted a very heavily Russian accent.

Liam and Yue turned. Revealing a Russian man standing at the corner nearby them. He looked to be twenty-six. He had dark brown curly hair, brown eyes, slight beard growing in, natural pale skin, muscular body typle, lean, and stands at 6'0". He was wearing a Galactic Storm uniform but he had the Blue 2 pin just Liam on his uniform.

"Misha, calm down!" Yue made a face at him.

That was Misha Romanovich, who has his twin brother on the same team as him. He is ranked above his brother and his brother, Sasha, is ranked Yellow 3 on the team. Liam glanced from Yue to Misha, the two had a look at one an other before breaking eye contact. Liam felt a bit uncomfortable being in between them. There was obviously chemistry between them.

"I won't be late for the date, Misha." Yue said.

Misha then blushed, "It's not a date." He defended.

Yue giggles, "Yeah right." She walks to the key slot and slid her key card.

The door opened and Yue entered in. The door stayed opened for a few second before shutting behind the Red 1. Liam stood there for a second a bit shocked at this sight, but heard Misha walk away. Liam thought that would be a smart thing to do. Leave before he got involved in something he wouldn't want to be involved in. Suddenly the door opened, revealing Gust.

"Liam?" Gust spoke.

Liam jumped, "Ah- Gust, oh hi."

Gust smirked, "So what brings you here?" He asks.

Liam made a face, "I was looking for Nathan."

Gust nods, "He left a while ago. He should be in the firing range."

Liam nods, "Thanks." Liam said.

"You're welcome." Gust said.

He watched as his teammate walked off. Gust held onto the tablet in his hands and then groaned. He had a lot of work as Red 1 and he didn't enjoy it one bit. He has to command his team, order the mission statements from his team, collect them, write his own mission statement, review the mission to the general, fill out another mission statement, and then the cycle continues when they get a new mission.

Gust stared at the tablet, "Another damn mission statement."

He groans as he walked down the hallway. He touched the screen and began reading over his teammate's mission statement, he felt sometimes that isn't fair of him to read what his teammate's feel or experience while on mission but that is the rules and apparently the head command thinks it wise for the Red 1 to always knows what's going on with their team.

As Gust continued to walk, he passed a few rooms. Some being the firing range, where the Russel brothers were, as well as a cafe. Gust glanced up from the tablet to look through the glass window into the cafe. He sees some of the officers sitting around at tables either socializing or eating. He noticed Evaak sitting alone. Gust glanced from the tablet to go enter to say something, he went to enter but saw someone sit down over. Gust shakes his head and leaves.

-GALACTICSTORM-

Evaak was drinking a nice hot green tea in the cafe of the Federation HQ. She prefer to sit alone, but then she was a bit alarmed when a young man came over with a trey. He had a goofy smile on his face, he was the other Romanovich. Sasha Romanovich wore a Yellow 3 uniform just like Evaak. She just stared up at him a bit uncertain.

"Is this seat taken?" Sasha asks.

Evaak shakes her head.

"May I sit?" He asks.

Evaak nods.

So Sasha does. Sasha had a piece of an apple pie on his trey and a carton of milk. Sasha looked up to notice Evaak was staring at him. He continued to hold that goofy smile on his face.

"I'm Sasha Romanovich," Sasha introduced, "Apart of the Alpha Squad."

"Alpha Squad?" Evaak asks.

"It's our team name," Sasha still smiled, "I mean our leader decided to call us that."

Evaak nods, "I see."

Sasha looks at her as he pokes his pie with his fork, "And you?"

Evaak holds onto her cup, "I am Evaak Vo Lukkaul and I am apart of squad 130."

"No name?" Sasha asks as he takes a bit.

"No name." Evaak confirms just before she takes a sip of her tea.

Sasha chews his food and nods to himself, "Your leader should give you guys a team name."

Evaak did not seem to understand, "Now why is that?" She asks.

Sasha opens his carton of milk, "Well it gives you guys character and a name than a number." Sasha said.

Evaak still was not understanding, "We were technically named squad 130," She started, "To change it would then change our name as a team."

Sasha sighs, "Your half human half Tyarqian right?"

Evaak nods.

"Look," He started, "Just by giving a team name not only builds character for your team but for your teammates. It'll bond you all closer. Also, it'll help make your legacy." He said.

Evaak didn't seem to care, "I see."

Sasha realize this conversation was going no where, "Sorry for that and sorry for the next thing I am about to say."

Evaak raised her eyebrow.

"Your mother is Mabel Callen, right?" Sasha asks.

Evaak glanced directly to him, "Yes."

Sasha grins, "I knew it!"

Evaak seemed to give him a sour look.

"I'm sorry-! It's just, I've meet her before." Sasha said.

Evaak took another sip of her tea.

"I mean- you're mother being this well-known novelist about the universe and races is just breath taking." Sasha said.

Evaak nods slowly, "Mother was always interested in other cultures and other beings." She spoke.

Sasha looks at her expression, "Sorry- I didn't know that is a touchy subject." He said.

Evaak shakes her head, "No. We do have our differences but she is my mother." Evaak said and then stood up.

Sasha looks at her with a frown, "Leaving already?"

Evaak nods, "I have places to be. It was nice to meet you Sasha." She said.

Sasha grins, "You too, Evaak." He said.

Evaak walked out of the cafe. As the doors closed behind her, she glanced back into the room. She shakes her head as her eyes landed on Sasha, she continued to walk. She walked onward, passing rooms and passing people. She walked and walked until exiting the building. She stopped just outside the exit doors to stare at Gust. Gust was leaning against a tree reading a tablet.

Evaak went to go over, but shook her head.

"He must be busy," Evaak muttered to herself, "Besides there isn't anything important to tell Augustus."

With that said, Evaak just walked off in the direction of her flat. Gust glanced up from his tablet and saw his Yellow 3 walking off. A frown appeared on his face as he shook his head, his gaze returned to his tablet. He rubbed one free hand on the bridge of his nose.

"Jeez," Gust muttered, "I am getting a headache."

-GALACTICSTORM-

Chloe entered the firing range, she noticed the Russel brothers there as well as a couple others. Chloe pressed the 2 button on her wrist band which made her blaster appear, she selected a target to fire at and the distances to fire from. She selected a Reaper and selected the furthest she could fire at. She put on safety googles and ear plugs in case. She aimed and began firing. The first shot missed but the rest were end on.

Once the sound of the first shot went off, everyone turned their attention to the daughter of noble name. Even Liam turned in her direction. He was a bit shocked to see how impressive Chloe was at her firearm. Once she was done, she took off the ear plugs after putting her blaster on the stand. Then the girl takes off the googles. She pressed a button for the target to come closer to look at her shots and how well she did.

Liam walked over and didn't even notice his brother sneaking over there as well. Chloe didn't seem to notice them either, as she was more focused on her shots.

"Amazing," Was Nathan's first words.

Chloe turned over and held a smile, "Jeez, thanks."

Liam was speechless.

Nathan moved over, "No seriously, you're great."

Chloe smiled wider, "I've been practicing." She said.

Nathan grins, "Well it shows." He said.

Chloe kept her smile as she looks at Nathan and then brushed her hair behind her ear, "Thanks."

Liam then stuttered to say, "You're- You're amazing." He said.

Chloe giggles as she sees him blushing, "Thank you, Liam." She said.

Nathan glanced at the two with a smirk, "Well I better catch up with my team. I'll see you later, little bro. And it was nice seeing you again, Chloe." Nathan said.

Chloe waves goodbye to Nathan, just as he does the same. Liam turns to his brother, a bit upset that Nathan was leaving them like that. But when Nathan left, Liam turned to Chloe. She seemed to be getting ready to fire again, Liam just watched Chloe go at it again. She was perfect each shot she made from her blaster. When the target came closer, Liam saw her aim was just one point.

"Since when did you start practicing your aim?" He asks.

Chloe took off the googles, "After the sniper situation back when my stupid mom wanted to blow up the Federation HQ." Chloe said.

Liam frowns, "Oh."

Chloe holds onto the googles tightly, "I don't want to have to feel like I cannot do anything more," She turns to look at him, "When you got shot- I didn't know what to do. If it hadn't been for Jim and his amazing mutated eyes, we wouldn't have been able to catch up with her or get the sniper caught. I felt so useless and I don't want to be useless."

Liam touches her hand, "You're not useless, Chloe." He said.

Chloe looks at her hand that he touches. Liam did too, then he pulled his hand back while blushing. Chloe was faintly blushing but not as bad as Liam there. Chloe forms a small smile and looks up at the frantic Liam, he was struggling on what to say after that awkward moment. So Chloe leaned over and kissed Liam on the cheek.

"Thanks for being so nice." Chloe said.

Liam watched Chloe pull back, "Chloe," He touched his right cheek which is the one she kissed.

Chloe kept the smile, "Seems like there is more to you than rules, huh?"

Liam smiled softly, "I guess it took being around you guys to show me that." He said.

-GALACTICSTORM-

It was a bit later in the day and the team were hanging at their usual spot. They were at the Dug Out, while other people in the Galactic Storm were drinking. Aqua and her friend, Clary, were running the bar. Which is amazing with how busy it gets and only two girls run the entire bar. The squad 130 was in its own booth, drinking their own drinks.

Liam glanced at Gust, "How has the mission statements gone?" He asks.

Gust rubbed the bridge of his nose, "It's done." Gust said.

After Jim takes a drink of his alcohol drink he looks at his leader, "You look tired." Jim said.

Gust holds onto his glass, "It's been a long day."

Evaak looks at Gust, "It is the same length in day as yesterday." Evaak was confused.

Gust shakes his head, "Never mind." Gust said and took a sip of his drink.

Chloe turns to Evaak, "So I heard from a friend that you had a run in with Sasha Romanovich? The same Sasha apart of Alpha Squad." Chloe grins.

Evaak holds onto her cup, "Yes we talked."

No one noticed Gust sudden glare as he turns his head to look away, Gust stared around the bar trying to seem like he didn't care about the conversation or even about Sasha. But something in his stomach was making him sick when he heard Chloe mention that or even mention Sasha's name. Gust just took another sip of his drink.

Chloe smiles, "I bet he is dreamy! I mean after all him and his brother Misha are on the same team." Chloe said.

Evaak did not seem as excited as Chloe, "Yes the Romanovich twins are on Alpha Squad which is led by Yue Zhang." Evaak said.

Liam glanced at Evaak, "I actually ran into both Misha and Yue today. Not to seem like I'm gossiping but I think they're dating." He said.

Jim took a drink of his alcohol, "You know its against the rules to date within your team?"

All eyes shift to Jim.

Jim raised his eyebrow, "What? I read the rules." He said.

Liam glanced at Chloe, the two looked at one an other for a second before breaking their gaze. Evaak and Gust briefly looked at each other, before turning away.

"I am aware of those rules," Evaak said and took a sip of her drink.

Jim grins, "That's why I am good with my girl, Aqua. Not apart of the Galactic Storm and she can hook me up with alochol." He said.

Gust smirks, "You know there is a rule about dating your superior's family members?"

Jim's grin faded, "Shit." He then shot the rest of his drink and excuse himself to the bar.

Chloe and Liam laughed at that remark Gust made, Gust snickered slightly but Evaak was not even sure if what Gust had said was a rule or not.

"But- I don't remember that being a rule?" Evaak asks.

Liam holds onto the drink, "It's a joke."

Chloe nods, "Gust is just messing with Jim." She said.

Evaak glanced at Gust, "Oh. I see."

A little bit later, Liam and Jim ended up by the pool table. The two guys were playing against each other, with Chloe watching them play. Gust was leaning up against the bar with a drink in his hands. Evaak had walked over and stood next to him, he glanced over to see her looking at him and he formed a small smirk on his face.

"Is something troubling you, Augustus?" Evaak asks.

Gust glanced at her, "How is it you're the only one who calls me 'Augustus'?" He asks.

Evaak did not seem to answer it how he wanted, "That is your name." She said.

Gust sighed, "Right."

Evaak just stood next to him.

Gust ran a hand through his hair, "I'm just- It's getting close to the anniversary of the attack of B-001." He said.

Evaak frowned, "Thirteen years since the attack." She said.

Gust nods, "Thirteen years since my mom and sister went missing." He said.

Evaak placed a hand on his forearm, "Augustus, I know that you will find your mother and sister." She said.

Gust looked at her, "But wouldn't it be illogical to put faith into something that is certain. Chances are they're dead." He said.

Evaak kept the frown, "Or not. Logic may say they're dead, but there is no prove. Your mother and sister could have been separated and has been lost since." She said.

Gust fumbles with his hands, "Maybe." He pushed off against the counter of the bar, "I'm gonna head back to my place. I'm just tired."

Evaak frowns, "But?"

"Tell the guys I am tired and I'll see them at HQ in the morning." He said.

Evaak nods, "Sir."

Gust smirks and then heads out. Evaak stood there for a moment uncertain on what to do. Then appearing behind her at the bar was Clary, Aqua's friend and co-owner. Clary was cleaning off the bar and had overheard them talk, but even though she didn't know the entire story she had a feeling about the two. Clary grabbed an empty glass and began cleaning it.

"You should go after him," Clary said to Evaak.

Evaak turns to her, "Pardon me?"

"The guy you called Augustus," Clary said, "Go after him. It's obvious you and he like each other."

Evaak raised her eyebrow in confusion, "But the rules says dating within a team is forbidden."

Clary smirks, "Back in the early 2000s there were people who claimed homosexuality forbidden," Clary shows her ring finger to reveal a wedding ring, "And yet hundred of years later, I am married and happy. Those rules were made years and years ago, who cares." Clary said.

Evaak didn't seem to understand.

"Look," Clary said, "I get it you are not fully human but understand this, follow your heart instead of that brain of yours 24/7." She said.

Evaak glanced from the bartender to the door.

-GALACTICSTORM-

Gust rubbed the back of his neck, he groaned and all he wanted to do was crawl under his bed and sleep. He made it a little away from the bar when he heard someone call his name, he turned around to see Evaak running over. Gust wasn't sure what to think when he saw her coming over to him. When Evaak reached him, she was looking directly into his eyes.

"Why did you kiss me in the Ramsey mansion?" Evaak bluntly asks.

Gust awkwardly blushes, "It- It was a cover." He said.

Evaak frowned, "Why were you willing to let yourself get harmed more when Riker captured us?"

Gust looks at her, "Riker had nothing to do with you." He said.

Evaak walked forward, "We're a team aren't we?"

He nods.

"Then it has everything to do with myself, William, James, and Chloe." Evaak said.

Gust stared at her, "Why are you asking me this?" He asks.

Evaak looks at him, "I am doing as the saying goes, by following my heart." She said.

Gust didn't seem to get it, "I don't understand?"

Just then Evaak leaned in and kissed Gust on the lips. Gust's eyes were wide at first, but instead of pulling back, he held onto her. Evaak wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed Gust. Gust had his hands rest onto her waist as he deepen the kiss. Evaak moved her hands onto Gust's cheeks on his face and Gust pulled her closer to him. When the two pulled back, they just stared at each other in the eyes.

"I think I understand now," Gust spoke a bit shocked by that.

Evaak looks at him and frowns, "I apologize, that was uncalled for." She said.

Gust shakes his head, "No- No. It was okay." He said.

Evaak nods, "Alright."

Gust looks at her and in the eyes, "Eva."

Evaak looks at him, "Yes?"

"The feeling is the same." He said with a smirk on his face.

(A/N: This is more of a filler chapter than anything, but this needed to be done. Action will be coming up, I promise but this chapter needed to be a thing. Recently I showed the relationship forming between Aqua and Jim, and as mentioned from Jim they are an item now. But I wanted some chemistry forming between Liam and Chloe as well as Gust and Evaak. I think one of my favorite parts writing was Gust being jealous when Chloe mentions Sasha.

Now, neither Liam and Chloe are an item or Gust and Evaak. Next chapter will take place the day after this chapter, so the awkwardness between Gust and Evaak will be apparent. Also without spoiling too much, next chapter will involved Evaak more relating one of her parent. Which will end the awkwardness between Evaak and Gust.

Anyways, I hope everyone had a great time celebrating the holidays with their friends and family! I had a nice time seeing my sister who lives about two hours away again and also having my dad home for the weekend before he left again for a couple of weeks. It was nice seeing my dysfunctional family and just socializing with them.

Until next time. -ICrzy)
