Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Black and Blue. Enjoy the 1100-word chapter. I don't own Red vs Blue, Rooster Teeth does.

(Takes place during The New Kid, Wind Power Facility.)

"What's new, North? How is being back from the dead treating you?" Jersey asked as North barely blinked as the second in command of the Freelancers appeared behind the sniper.

"It's fine, Jersey, never thought I'd be a damn walking ghost…. Which is what most freelancers would say you, Mr. Boogie man." Jersey was silent, North saw Phi appeared on Jersey's shoulder before saying something to Jersey.

"It pays to be cautious, North. Keeping tabs on teammates helps with morale and keeps them sharp…. Besides, I don't trust Tex… And I know you sided with her over us…"

North rolled his eyes, Jersey was rarely one to trust people outside of Carolina, while North hadn't found anything to show recently that Jersey was watching him, he did know Jersey liked to have Phi record talks then help him analyze them for anything out of order.

He also knew how reserved Jersey was, he did joke but the freelancer rarely dropped out of being a soldier first and a person later, this fed into how calm and sarcastic the agent was.

"So, Phi like your spy, stress ball or something?" Jersey glared at him from his infiltrator helmet.

"I don't need a damn stress ball, North, I am fine. I just want to make sure that you're on our side."

North laughed as he continued to look through his scope at the Reds and Blues from his sniper as Phi appeared inside North's armor.

"Agent North Dakota, I believe Agent New Jersey is simply trying to access the tactical situation, something he always does in cases like this. As you are aware, being second in command of the team requires him to do information gathering, something that fits given his phycological profile."

"So, what, he does file gathering for stress relief? Even Carolina isn't soldier 100% of the time, Jersey wasn't made with an off switch."

Phi turned bright blue as he processed data before turning back to his icy blue.

"Are you aware of which branch of the UNSC military Jersey and Carolina were before they joined? I am aware you served as a UNSC sniper for the army before enlisting, your sister being a UNSC soldier as well.

"No, Jersey locks himself up at times, I don't know how he ticks… Not like you do, Phi…. Or how Carolina ticks as well." Neither AI nor freelancer noticed Jersey vanish as he made his way towards the Reds and Blues.

"Agent New Jersey served as a Lieutenant for the UNSC marine corps, more precisely, he served as a ODST orbital drop shock trooper, explaining his combat experience, Agent Carolina was a soldier in the marines, both worked well as a team before Jersey was discharged… For something I believe he should personally explain… As you are aware of who recruited you."

Phi said, his helmeted head looking directly into North's eyes.

"Yeah, I know, Carolina went to recruit York and Jersey recruited us…. Before my sister was killed…. But why tell me all this, Phy? Jersey wouldn't like it."

"Because I believe you and Agent New York will be more willing to assist in our mission if you were to know more about why Agent New Jersey is skeptical of 90% of people who he encounters…. His mental and physical scans not only place him to be better suited with Agent Carolina, it also leaves a 95% ideal that he is the only one suited to be able to help her when she is angered."

North nodded before looking back at Phi.

"Ok, I have a question then, I understand why Carolina is angry at being second best compared to Tex…. But why is Jersey?" Phi turned dark blue before answering.

"While I have compiled and analyzed 80 thousand possible outcomes for that, I believe Agent New Jersey will reveal that in due time, I do not wish to pry into his personal matters, as he does not pry into mine… I must go to oversee another matter Agent New Jersey has assigned me with, farewell for now, Agent North Dakota."

With that, Phi vanished as North blinked before turning back to his scope.

"Really wish Theta was still around…." North mumbled as part of his armor glitched Pink.

"Run the scenarios again." Jersey, looking at a holographic menu as Phi hovered above his shoulder.

"The likelihood of possible permeant change in events still hovers as 80% percent, rescuing Agents New York and North Dakota may still result in Agent Maine's death but it may not result in the 'deaths' of Theta and Delta, primarily due to their rescues due to the time unit." Jersey tapped the equipment on his back.

"Yeah, the ability to travel back in time and slow it down does always come with drawbacks, Phi… Continue to monitor the time streak for anything out of place, it always pays to be more cautious, even with the little things."

Jersey stated, closing the menu as Phi continued to record any data it could and pass it to a hard drive within Jersey's armor.

"What about the current status of Project Freelancer? Does the Director still have any forces left or did they fall apart when he left the program?" Phi turned pitch white before answering.

"Unknown, I do not have current access to his systems, there are still failsafe's even I cannot override." Phi answered as Jersey sighed under his breath before nodding and closing the holographic menu.

"Keep trying to crack their security and send anything you find to my armor, we have to keep ahead of the director if we are going to find the old man…. And make him pay for all the crap that's happened to us…"

Jersey said, clenching his fists before walking off the roof towards the inside of the building to talk to Carolina and Wash concerning the next leg of the mission. Something he guessed would be easier said than done now.
