This is my first attempt to write a little story about Red vs Blue. This is actually a RP that me and my sister are doing and i thought it was kind of good..? I don't know xD So here's the story!
Summary: He heard a story about that idiot... Something like gunshot in the head and memory lost? He didn't knew the whole story or if this really Happened to the guy, but he had to do something. (...) After finding a computer, or kind of a computer, he got in and looked into all the information that he could find! But something went wrong... In a big flash of light, Church got knocked out!
~ I do not own these characters, they all belongs to Rooster Teeth! :)
"Church nodded and just go take a place in his bed, feeling very uncomfortable but comfortable at the same time..! Caboose just sit down on the floor, his back on the bed, and start sketching, waiting for her to sleep. After only five or ten minutes, she was already asleep! Caboose stood up and cover her with the white blanket and take out a sleeping bag, before closing the light and go to sleep."
The next morning, Church woke up surprise to realize how quickly she fell asleep. And also that Caboose just slept on the ground and not in the same bed. He was still sleeping
"Thank god, he's not in the bed with me.." Church thought relief and also.. Disappointed? And stood up to wake him up "Caboose!?" She kneels down beside him and shook him softly. Caboose woke up, startled, maybe thinking that the base was under attack or something, then look at her "Don't scare me like that!" He smile a little then asked "What is it?"Church backed away a bit and started to be a little... Shy and didn't really know what to answer "S-sorry... I just... I wanted to... Uummm... Why did you slept on the ground..?" She looked at Caboose curious.
Caboose sat up and scratch the back of his head "Well.. I can see that your not that comfortable around me. Waking up next to me would have been a little too much, so I just wanted to give you some space. You need it." He yawn and smile softly at her. Church blushed just a bit "R-right... Sorry!"
Caboose looked at her and Church did the same. She look at his face, examining him, his face, his eyes, his hair and damn, he wasn't that bad... Cute even..! "I've never realized how cute he was... Wait what.!?" She shook her head when someone knocked at the door.
"Breakfast's ready!" Said a voice from behind the door. "You better come eat now or its gonna get cold!" Then, nothing. Just Church and Caboose staring at each other and at the same time looking a the door!
Caboose looked at the door "Thanks! Tucker!" He got up, stretch his body a little, then look at Church "Whenever you're ready, just come join us, okay?" He then smile at her and walk out the room.
"He's really nice!" Said the little a childish voice of Theta. Church looked at her and saw that Gamma was beside him "Getting information from him will be easy." Gamma said, in a rather deep and maybe too... Evil voice?
Church didn't knew what to answer, or what to do! Should she just go down stairs and join the others? Or perhaps go back to her room? Or stay in Caboose's bedroom and try to figure out a way to leave? Everything was too weird and she was getting sick of it...
"Epsilon.." Said Delta in a attempt to use a comforting voice "Is everything alright?" He asked, concern. "Not really..!" She said while standing up.
"And yesterday just the idea was making you gag..." Said Omega before disappearing. Church rolled her eyes at this sentence, but she knew he was right... She started walking towards the door to go join the others in the kitchen.
Church arrived in the kitchen and looked around at her teammates. She looked at Caboose who still looked tired.. Perhaps it really wasn't a good idea to wake him up in the middle of the night..! She then looked at Wash. She saw another thing wrong with him instantly. He wasn't in his armor?! He wasn't drinking coffee and worst of all he was way too calm and... Good looking?! Church shook her head, almost with a disgusted expression(Good looking? Really?) and then looked at Tucker... Tucker was... A young black women? She had long curly hair in a ponytail, she was still in her pyjamas and on top of that she was a bit taller than the Tucker Church knew! Junior was also there, but he was the same Shangali as the Junior in Church's dimension... Or alternate universe? Church sight and started to back away to go back to her room, wishing nobody would see her, when Tucker's voice made her stop her movement.
"Hey Lea! How are you today? I hope better than Yesterday!" Tucker looked at Church with a wink. Church turned to Tucker "Uum... Yes and no?" She said then smile a bit awkwardly.
Wash put his hand on Church's left shoulder and asked "Still have memory issues?" Caboose, put some eggs, bacon and toast and give Church her plate.
Church sat on a chair at the table beside Caboose "I.. Don't know!" Delta appeared beside Church "She had a hard time sleeping yesterday and i can see that she is holding a lots of fee..." Church cut him off and sight loudly, almost face palm herself "... Shut up Delta...!"
Caboose look at the green hologram, then back at Church "You should talk more to Doc. She is a psychologist after all." Church look at him as if he was a Covenant wearing a clown costume, hat, nose with rainbow hair "Y-yeah! I probably should!" She sight again, more silently, and started eating
Tucker walk beside Wash and whispered to him "Yep! You were right Wash, she's not herself!" Wash nodded and whispered back to Tucker "We can't do much right now.." Tucker, with a sad face, simply shrugged and said "I know..."
"You can just go to red base after eating. You really need to talk to someone." Caboose said, finishing his breakfast. Church looked at him and said "Like who? Except Doc!?" Caboose then smile a bit "Sadly Doc is pretty much the only one you can talk to. Or Sister." Another voice joined the conversation "Or us..." Church turned around and saw that it was Wash "Okay!" She simply said.
Tucker rolled her eyes and turned to Wash "David! She never talked to us...! You know that! The fearless leader's mask!" She then rested her hands on her hips while Wash shrugged saying "Could happen!"
Church finished eating and with a "I'll be right back!" She left to her room to change and put on back her armor.
Tucker watched her leave, then turned to the dirty kitchen "Well! Cleaning time..!" She said, smiling and with a clap of hands she started cleaning the dishes. Washington stood beside her and asked "So, are you gonna see Doc for your kid?" Tucker turned to look at Junior. Caboose was playing and watching Junior for her. She smiled and looked back at Wash to answer "Yes! I have an appointment with her later today!" A sound made her turn back around to Junior, he sneezed and stated shaking a little.
Caboose looked at Tucker "Looks like a cold." He said with concern.
"Yeah, but it can be dangerous for kids his age." Wash said. Caboose nodded "Yeah, I know. Well, I still have to fix the tank, Grif fall asleep on it and Sarge thought that the best way to wake him up, was to shot at it." Wash started to laugh "What a moron!"
Caboose smiled "Well, he's still a kid, in a way." Wash only nodded. Tucker jumped a bit and gasps "I think i'll ask Church to come with me!" She said and smiled "That could help her!"
Church joined them, fully dressed and armor on "Ask what and help me?" She said looking at Tucker with a raised brow. Tucker looked at Church with a big smile "To go see Doc with me and Junior!? It can be good for you to get some fresh air, and perhaps talk to Doc when she'll be done with Junior?!"
"Oh.. Right!" Church said, looking down thinking. Are the Reds the same idiots? She was a bit scared to find out.. But she then looked back at Tucker and nod "Alright! I have nothing better to do anyway!" It can't be that bad, she thought, it will be fine! At least she hopped..!
"Hey Tucker, can you ask Sarge if he still have some more equipment to fix the tank?" Tucker turn to look at Wash, who was the one that obviously asked, and reply with smile and a cheerful "No prob!" After an hour of cleaning she got herself and Junior ready to go. The three of them(Tucker, Junior and Church of course) got in the Red base for Junior's appointment with Frederica Dufresne(Doc)! She stepped out of the room, she was wearing her white jacket, greet them with a warm smile, took Junior's hand and got back into the room with him to start to look at his condition. Meanwhile, Tucker and Church were outside with all the Reds...!
In his usual raspy and deep voice, Sarge cleared his throat before repeating what everyone said for almost two days now... "So, ya got no memories, huh?"
"Is it like when you don't think?"
Church sighted and roll her eyes at Simmons stupidity, seriously, he acted and talked exactly like the Caboose that Church knew "... Y-yeah, Simmons..! Kind of!"
Grif started laughing, teasingly, and surprisingly he was not fat but still short "Seems like you have a little problem there..!"
"No shit!" She said, irritated.
"Hm... well, ain't gonna help a dirty Blue!" Putting his shotgun behind his back and crossing his arms, Sarge grin at Church "Sure.. You never does anyway..!" She said, rolling her eyes again..!
"I hope my kid's okay..." Tucker said, in an attempt to change the subject!
Then the door of the room opened and Doc stepped out with Junior. She looked at him and smile "Alright, now be good to your mom, okay?" Junior smile back nod and walked to Tucker.
Tucker hugged him and looked at Doc with worried eyes "So? How is he doing?" Doc smiled "It's just a cold. Just give him this twice a day, in the morning and before bed. He will be back to normal in no time!" She gave her the syrup. "Thank you!" Tucker smiled and left red base to go back to blue base.
Church watched them leave and hesitated a long moment before turning to face Doc, who was talking with Donut, and interrupt their little conversation "Um... Doc?! C-can i ask you something?" Doc looked at Church, then smiled at Donut, telling him that they would continue to talk later, probably, and told Church to enter the room "Alright, just sit and make yourself comfortable." She closed the door behind Church, sat down on her chair at her desk, pad and pencil ready "We'll start easy. How are you feeling today?"
Church sight, not knowing if she should just tell Doc everything and finish this already, but she couldn't. She was looking at the ground, trying to find a way to start the conversation or simply try to say it in one sentence? Nah, not a good idea... Wait.. Now that she thought about it, why does she tried to find something to say when she only had to say how she was feeling..? This was getting ridiculous... After some more seconds of hesitations, she finally decided to answer "A little better than yesterday but... Still not good..." She sat down on a couch.(Because, yes, she was still standing up, like a fucking pole)
Doc raised an eyebrow "Not good? Do you want to explain?"
"Nobody wants to believe me, they all think i'm sick, that i got hit on the head too hard or just that i'm an imbecile... I'm not amnesiac, i am not lying! Ask my fragments they will tell you the same thing as me! We really have been transported into another, kind-of, dimension... Or something..." Church said ,almost desperate, looking at the ground, also unsure and hopeful that she will maybe understand, or try to believe her at least..! Doc was writing a little then, she looked at Church "After everything that happened here, I believe you."
Church lift her head to look at Doc "R-really!?" She smiled "So.. You will help me, right?"
Doc smiled back "I'll try as much as I can, but as you can see, I'm pretty close to go in labor. I can help you mentally, but you will need someone else to help too."
Church frown.. She was an idiot, of course she would need someone else to go with her god dammit! "... Of all the people here, you're the only one who wants to believe me right now... Not even Caboose... Speaking of him, can i ask you something..?"
"I'm all ears!" Doc said. Changing the page of her note book.
Church took a deep breath and answer, uncertain "Delta told me that.. I am supposed to be in love with Caboose... But in my dimension, i'm a guy and i like girls... So..." She cleared her throat and hesitated to ask, even if had to anyway "Why do i have a weird feeling when i'm with him..?" She sighted, not daring to look at Doc.
"Hm..." Doc thought about it for a moment "The only thing that make sens to me, is that you feel what 'she' felt for him." She said some moment later(After thinking this through)
Church looked at Doc "Why? I mean... I don't love him.. In fact i've always hated him...!" Church stopped talking, saying what she just said again in her head "Do i really hate him...?" She then shook her head to clear that thought and added "I'm more confused than anything..." She sighted again "Anyway, i guess it doesn't matter now..!" She leaned back on the couch, crossing her arms while turning her head a bit, looking away.
"No, it doesn't. All you can do right now is trying to get everything back to normal. We'll start with a computer."
"Look, for now i'll just play along... Until we find that.. Computer." Church said looking back at Doc "After that i'll try to return to my dimension.. How's that sound?"
Doc nodded "Sounds good! Now, is there anything else you want to talk about?"
"No, " Church said and sighted "i'm done!" She then got up and started to walk towards the door, but stopped and turn back to Doc "Thanks, by the way..!" Then she got out of the room, almost slamming it on Donut's face making Simmons and Grif laugh "At least that didn't changed..." and started walking back to blue base.
"Playing along until we find the computer... But can i use any kind of computer?" Church thought, walking slowly and, eventually, getting lost in her thoughts "I could try the one we have at blue base... But if it doesn't work, it shouldn't be too hard to find the one that send me here.. Right? ... Why am i asking myself these questions..? It's not like i can answer them..." She shook her head yet again and sight, another time, but louder "God dammit... I don't even remember where i found that computer.. Can't remember if it was in a Freelancer ship that had crashed a long time ago or the abandoned facility... And it can be any facility, there's almost one in every planet! Okay, maybe not every planet, but still... What am i going to do in the mean time? Acting like myself? Was i the same here as i was back home?" She thought and was getting more and more frustrated!
It wasn't long after that for her to be back at Blue base, but as soon as she approached it she fell on Wash and Caboose(Bumped into Wash to be more accurate).
"Ho, hey! Didn't thought you'd be back so soon." Wash said and smiled.
"Did it help?" Caboose said looking... Worried!?
Church smiled a little bit and shrugged "Sort of, yeah!" Looks like she seemed to be a little more comfortable with them now.. That was new! Maybe it could be a good idea to play along until they fixed everything.
"Great! As long as you're back to normal, I'm good." Wash said in his 'usual' smooth voice and smile at her once again.
"You should still get a little bit of rest." Caboose said while putting a hand on Church's right shoulder "I'm almost done with the tank, so after that we could put up a plan to help you?"
Church smiled a bit, but was a little uncomfortable by the fact of Caboose touching her "Yeah.. Forget the plan for now! I think its best if we just... Let my brain get back completely to normal first!"
Somehow, Caboose saw and understood her reaction at his hand touching her and simply took it off "You're sure?" He asked still looking worried, this was making Church feel bad for getting him worried all the time and for what happened when she got into this weird place.. Again.. She.. He always felt bad for all the things he did back at Blood Gulch.
Like saying to Caboose that gas was lemonade, for starting a firefight directly in his head, letting his fragments invade and brain damage him, rebooting his armor making him stop breathing for two days, which also caused him brain damage, let Junior sucked half a gallon of blood and not even moving a finger to help him or see if he was alright, claiming that he's always annoyed by him, but in fact... He liked Caboose, in a way... He still took care of him and actually listen to him, even if he always do as if he doesn't.
Okay yeah sure, Caboose did killed him with a tank, disable his lower half body when he possesses Lopez, nearly killed Sarge while Church was possessing him and that Caboose's definition of helping a friend is shooting them in the back, but... The way he was acting was actually his and Tucker's fault... So even though he never wanted to admit it, he felt really bad and wanted to help the guy... That is why he enter that computer in the first place, to help Caboose! Why did she forget about something important like this?
Okay, never mind... Not a question to ask...
"Yeah! I need some more time to get used to things.. After that we can pull up a plan!" Church said trying to reassured Caboose and smile again.
Caboose sight and smile a bit "Alright. Then take your time. I'm sure you could find some little things in your room." He said, then turn away and goes finished fixing the tank.
Church nodded, smile at Wash and just walk to her room to take some more rest.. For her brain, mostly! But Tucker stopped her. She was in her pyjamas, already, with her son beside her, he was almost half Tucker's size, hand in hand.
"Hey! Me and Junior were about to watch a movie, wanna join us?" She said to both Church and Wash, a little too happily.
Church looked at the two with a raised brow and thought about it for a moment. She never did anything with anyone before, except yell at them, standing outside the base, talking, always pushing everyone away... The feeling she was having right now was new to her, feeling like she needed to be with someone, not necessarily to talk, but just having someone beside her. Letting her know she was not alone, so she nodded "Alright! I'll be there in a minute!"
Wash, after some minutes, enter the living room of the base in his pyjamas and placed the movie, then gave Junior his favorite blanket "There you go, Junior." He sat down, smiling and turn to Church, who was standing beside the couch "Hey, you're gonna watch it with us?"
Church, also in her pyjamas, saw that everyone was settled for the movie, she nod and join in, sitting down on the couch "Yeah!"
"Got to tell you, it's a family movie." Wash said smiling "Can't really watch an horror movie with the kid."
Church laughed a bit "Its fine!" She got comfortable and wait for the movie to start. After a whole 30 minutes or so, the movie was at the half of the story, and Caboose decided to join them and sat beside Church, seeing if she would do like she always does, cuddle...
Caboose looked at the movie, then smile "I didn't know you liked Tinkerbelle."
Church, instinctively, or more like a habit, she got closer to him and rest her head on his shoulder not really realizing what she was doing right about now "Meh! With Junior, i don't really have a choice!" She smiled a bit, half asleep in front of the movie. Caboose laughed "Yeah, I know." He said after placing a blanket on them, continuing to watch the rest of the movie.
When another 30 minutes passed, the movie was over and Church was tired. She decided to go get some sleep.
End of chapter 3! Hope you like it guys! :3
