"Fight me."
"I don't want to fight you."
"Fight me or I'll just use you as a punching bag and then we'll see how the bossman likes you as my replacement."
"I'm not replacing you."
Brix charged him.
Goku dodged. He thought 'This guys definitely the leader. The others looked up to him. Defeating him would be a bad move.' He just defended himself, but put up a good fight so he would be respected too.
He took a blow for the loss and crashed into the floor.
Brix grunted at him, then said with a half-smile "Get up…Stone."
Goku got punched in a friendly way by the rest of the crew. Several shook their hands. "What do you eat for breakfast, Stone? Cement?"
Goku said "Depends if my wife's having a good day or not." There was raucous laughter.
Brix said "I'm Brix. I'm the top dog 'round here. Good thing you figured that out fast. Over there's my brother Stix. There were five others. Hammer, Mace, Katana, Bazooka, and Grenade. Mace and Katana were women.
Brix caught Goku looking at them and said "Oh, Mace is my girl. Katana's with Bazooka."
Mace said "Katana 'n me are the martial artists on the team, and the brains. The boys are the brute squad."
"Shut it Mace." Brix smiled at her. "We prefer to be called the Brute Force."
The women weren't bulked up like them men. Goku wondered how much martial arts they knew. He also wondered how he was going to explain that he wasn't really a security guard. 'Jhones, why do you do this to me?' His HC beeped and he took it out. Brix said "Bossman callin'"
Goku shrugged. The type appeared 'Son, I see you made friends. Good. Now, come to my office for instructions." It cut off. Goku said "I gotta go."
"Bossman got you on a tight leash, dog." said Stix.
Goku shrugged "I'm the new guy."
Brix said "Catch you around, Stone."
"Bye, Brix." He left and went to Jhones' office.
Jhones said, as soon as Goku had come in and shut the door, "Hello, Son."
Goku asked "Are you going to tell them that I'm more than a security guard?"
Jhones said "I won't. It's up to you. Be careful who you trust, though."
"You're no help."
"What do you expect, Son? Now, go on to your scientist work. Your instructions are on your desk in your office. Good day, Son." As Goku turned to leave, he said "Oh, by the way, how do you teleport like that?"
Goku stopped, startled, "Um…"
Jhones looked amused "You're not in trouble, Son, I was just curious."
Goku said "It's kind of complicated, and no one that I've tried to teach it to seems to be able to learn it."
Jhones said "Hmmn, so you do it without the aid of a device. Is it natural or learned?"
"Learned."
"Interesting. I won't press you for details. Go on."
"Wait, when will I be on duty as a security guard?"
"You'll be on lunch duty on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so you'll eat early. You'll also be on duty for that hour in the morning each day as well. Alright?"
"…Ok." Jhones waved his hand and Goku left. Goku was vaguely worried about Jhones knowing that he used instant transmission. How much surveillance did he have in this place? How much did a lab/school need? He was beginning to wonder as to the nature of the company he had come to work for.
Sorry for the short chapter, everyone, but I DO have writer's block at the moment. Don't forget to review and tell me what you're thinking. Sayonara.
