Eve plopped down into a seat at a table, a couple minutes after she had taken a small break. She recognized the room she sat in very clearly. It was where this whole spy thing started after all. It was currently empty, save for her. She whistled as she waited a few minutes until the door opened. To her slight surprise, it was Ruby who stepped through, carrying a small box with wires attached to it under her arm.
"Oh, hey puffball. What's up? Fancy seeing you here." Eve greeted. Ruby placed the box down, unwrapping the cords from it.
"This is the last test, as you probably already know. Did boss tell you that it was a lie detector test?" She said. Eve nodded.
"Yeah. That's all though." She replied. Ruby hummed, finishing unwrapping the cords before walking to Eve.
"Right. This test is more or less about making up believable lies and keeping calm under pressure. You would be surprised how many people aren't able to do that." She said, setting about attaching the cords to Eve's body.
"Never would have guessed." She said. Ruby suddenly started scratching at her back.
"Tone down the sarcasm. I'm allergic to it." She huffed. Eve blinked, raising a brow.
"Allergic to sarcasm? Weird. Does that have something to do with your upgrades?" She asked. Ruby nodded and plopped down onto the seat across from her, pulling the box to her.
"Yes. My upgrades boost my allergies to be able to take in information from the world around me, that makes me basically near psychic. For example, I'm allergic to lies. That's what we're going to be using in this last test. And before you ask, no, the box isn't the lie detector. That's just the shocker for if I can tell you're lying." She explained. Eve made a face, but laughed it off.
"Wow. Ok. Great. Let's just get this done with then." She sighed, leaning back in her chair. Ruby nodded, crossing her arms in front of her on the table.
"So. Where did you learn all those tricks you have?" She asked. Eve mumbled something under her breath before shaking her head.
"Uh, all over the place I guess. Just wherever we lived at the time. Texas, Arizona, California, Ohio, and those are just a couple." She replied truthfully. Ruby hummed, her eyes seeming to narrow for a second before accepting the answer.
"Alright. Do your parents sign the back of your undies?" She asked. Eve blinked, making a small face.
"Um, they used to? Not now. That's an awkward question." She answered awkwardly. She suddenly blinked, having the realization that she was trying to get her to lie. She was asking awkward questions in order to get her to lie, thusly testing the ability to tell believable lies. She smiled slightly. If that was the case, she just had to play along. The next few minutes, Ruby continued to ask series of awkward and embarrassing questions, all of which Eve answered.
Finally, Ruby stopped, an unreadable look on her face.
"Well. That's the end of the test. I didn't even shock you once, surprisingly. Congratulations. You're the first person to ever do that." She said. Eve picked up on the slightly impressed tone in her voice. She took off all the wires she had attached, and after it was wrapped up, they exited the room. Ruby waved at Brand, who glaced back from what he was doing, which seemed to be scolding one of the scientists. He walked over, arms crossed.
"Hello Pufferfish. Spark. How did the test go?" He asked.
"Uh, she's very truthful. I didn't actually even shock her once. Because I didn't even detect her lie once." She replied. Brand blinked in surprise.
"Oh. Well then. I suppose that's good then. Alright, that was the end of the tests, so you are free to go. We'll have your team by tomorrow." He said. Eve nodded as the man walked away. She then looked over to Ruby.
"Can I tell you something?" She asked her. Ruby blinked.
"Sure?" She said curiously. Eve smirked.
"I lied on every question after the first two." She said. She walked away, already knowing of Ruby's dropped jaw. She was telling the truth on that statement.
