"We're screwed..! We're SO screwed!", says Rachel as she was pacing back and forth in the auditorium. Fannie was already angry from the whole ordeal, so she went up to her and yelled, "Numbah 362! We don't need any more stress from any more damn idiots!"
Rachel staggers back, hiding behind Nigel, who glares at Fannie for being mean to Rachel. If it was up to him, Rachel would be the leader still, not Fannie. Rachel suddenly calmed down and glared at Fannie, who was getting scared herself. Rachel comes towards her, a frown upon her face, and she yells at Fannie for not doing her job.
"Listen, Fannie. I'm doing my best to keep my end of the fuckin' bargain. YOU should've kept an eye on Naruto and made SURE nothing happened to that damn code module! Didn't we tell you to beef up the security!"
"S-security wasn't the p-problem. Naruto was the problem! He was a problem from day ONE. S-so you can't blame me. B-blame Nigel!"
Rachel looks at Nigel with a smirk and back to Fannie, her smirk on her face still. "Why are you stuttering there, Fan? Huh? Are you...afraid, Fannie?"
"I-"
"Are you afraid of being fired?"
"N-no, I-"
"Look at her. Stuttering like a prissy bitch."
Rachel rolls her eyes and says, "Give me a damn break, Fannie, and GET BACK TO WORK! Find Naruto's location! Beef up security! Get all of the sectors! STAT!"
Fannie ran out of there then Rachel faces Nigel. "Nigel. Come with me. We need an army."
"You mean..."
"Yep. Call up Sector V. This is a suicide mission. Why? It's Father that we're dealing with and we might die."
"I've heard, though, that Father has been keeping a low profile."
"From who? Naruto? Ha! Father wouldn't just retire like THAT. He's planning something now that Naruto had captured his attention."
"I'm sorry for this, 362. I knew convincing Naruto to come work for us was a bad idea. He still had a chip on his shoulder when he got here."
"Why did he come if he didn't want to be there? He's a-"
"DON'T. Say it...please. I know. He was upset with me for leaving him to work here a few years ago. I thought that bringing him up here would mend our relationship, but I guess...*sigh*…I'm sorry, Rach. I just..."
Nigel buried his face in his hands and sat on an empty chair, sobbing to himself, while Rachel rubs on his back, comforting him. Nigel looked up at her and smiled. He slowly gets up and hugs her gently then the does the most unmistakable thing ever. Nigel kisses Rachel. Realizing what he had done, Nigel pulls away from Rachel, who was feeling the same way. They looked at each other awkwardly and Rachel breaks the silence. Rachel clears her throat and says, "You should call Sector V."
"Rachel, I'm-"
"CALL Sector V...please, Nigel."
Rachel leaves Nigel by himself while Nigel kicks his chair over and groans. How will he ever explain THIS bullshit to Lizzie? She'll never forgive him. Or probably kill Rachel. If not both.
"Ugh. Are we DONE yet?"
"Not until you fully grasp your suit's power."
Naruto groans as he was training with Father to control the element-suit Father had made him wear. The suit was an all-black one-piece with a ninja-like mask, and the gloves were fingerless. The point of the suit was for Naruto to grasp the basic elements, as his new powers, but Naruto was getting frustrated with training that he was considering giving up, but he knew that if he were to do that, Father's going to seek revenge on him, so he sucked it up like a big kid. Though, he didn't wanna. He had to. He was fifteen. It was his birthday. He needed some fun. Some change. Father said that Naruto should take a break and had left the backyard. Naruto sighs as he sits on a red and white lawn chair. He breathes in and blows an accidental stream of fire up in the air. He covers his mouth and was about to go and tell Father, but he didn't. Naruto smiles to himself. At least he got ONE element down. Three more to go. Earth, water, and air. Naruto stretches his arms in the air and bends his sides from side to side. He was startled by the unnamed girl, who tapped upon his shoulder, accidently scaring him and burning her finger since the suit was set on fire mode. He turns and says, "Sorry...um...what was your name again?"
The unnamed girl looks at her feet and shakes her head. "Sorry I scared you."
Naruto shakes his head. "No problem."
The unnamed girl stood in front of him, smiling shyly. Naruto asks her what was her name again, but she giggles and told him not to worry about it. "I'm a background character. No worries."
"No. I need to know your name, or else you'll be uncredited."
Naruto bends his neck down a bit to kiss her, but she pulls away when she heard footsteps. Feeling hurt, Naruto was about to ask her what's the matter, but he saw Bruce and automatically knew the answer. She waves at her brother and Naruto before going back into the mansion. Bruce looked back at his sister but glared at Naruto.
"I don't know what's with you two, but I don't want you near my sisters."
Naruto squints at Bruce and says, "Constance, I'll stay away from, but...your other sister...she's..."
"Keep L-"
Bruce closed his mouth for a minute and glares at Naruto, who was a few inches taller than him. "She's none of your concern!"
Bruce turns to leave. Naruto shakes his head and says, "I'll find out what her name is!"
Bruce, however, ignored him and gave him the middle finger.
Naruto chuckled.
At least he knew her name starts with an L.
