Pairing: Established Rua x Rally.
Summary:
Psychic crimes and the resurgence of the Arcadia Movement in the form of the Neo Arcadia Movement pose a work hazard to Rally Dawson, now a jack of all trades. A hazard Rua isn't willing to gamble on.
"I take any job people pay me for," Rally reiterated while getting into the silver hovercar on the driver side.
"That's what worries me!" Rua leaned back on his D-Wheel. "This isn't searching for a lost cat! Hell, you were pushing into risky territory agreeing to be on Aki-neechan's guard team! You have to stop putting yourself in harmful scenarios, you psycho!"
"Um, noo? The Psycho Duelists are the psychos! Take it up with Crow! He was the one who was supposed to ensure the Psychic Diva's safety until they'd built up a flawless case against Divine! And yet, he let the info leak to Carly Nagisa he was using Aki to solve all the ESP-related crimes the Neo Arcadia Movement was committing?"
"Rally, I just don't want to make it off the track and receive news you died in a shootout! Why can't you just stick to lunch delivery gigs? It's not like we need the cash! We still have the prize money from my last Riding Duel tour!"
"If I asked you to quit riding because I worry about you spinning out of control and crashing, would you hang up your helmet?"
"No…"
"Then don't block me! I can handle it!"
"Let me follow you to the rendezvous point, at least! To check the guy isn't involved in anything illegal!"
"And look unprofessional? No way! Out of the question!"
"You aren't going there alone!"
Before either of them knew it, they'd argued on the road through the car window, all the way to the contact's stipulated location.
"Crow? You're the unknown sender who sent me that message?" Rally yelled from the wheel. "What's with the secrecy?"
"We got him." Crow rested his elbow on the roof.
"Got who?"
"That bastard Divine."
"Ahhh! So prisoner transfer? Protect the convoy till he's locked up?"
"Yep, fend off the Neo Arcadia Movement diehards. That's the job." It was at that moment Crow's attention drifted over to Rua. "You two takin' couples contracts now?"
Rally and Rua gave opposing answers.
"Rua, leave! The bodyguard doesn't need a bodyguard!"
"Actually, I could probably use an extra set of hands." Crow noted he was short-handed Securities, before handing Rally a stun rifle, again through the car window.
"Handy." Rally grinned. Unprofessionally.
Rua slapped his own forehead. "I do need to be here!"
Rally clutched the steering. "Try and keep up, Transmorpher."
