"Why the hell am I still here?!"
Doctor J started in shock, while across the room Dr G let out a small yelp of surprise. Zechs slammed the door behind him so violently that the hinges trembled.
"Well? Who's going to answer me?!" the enraged Commander bellowed.
"Nobody if you continue to act like a child," J snapped, brushing his coat defensively.
Zechs bristled, but closed his mouth.
"Now, the only conclusion we could arrive at was that you exist as a living entity in the plane the pilots were sent to, and as such, cannot exist dually there," J continued. Zechs raised an eyebrow. "You can't go there because in that world you already exist?" J looked searchingly into the platinum blonde's face, scrutinising it for signs of comprehension.
"Don't look at me like that. I understood you the first time, you old fool."
Across the room, Dr S snickered. "No need to get snarky, Commander. You knew there was a risk you wouldn't be taken with them. There's simply nothing to be done until they return."
Behind the heavy silver mask Zechs contemplated this, and, grasping a firm hold of his temper, pursed his lips into a thin smile of barely concealed contempt. "Very well, gentlemen. I guess I'll come back when the pilots return." With that, he bowed politely and turned on his heel, stalking down the corridor on his way out.
Doctor J ran his hands through his hair and turned to G. "You picked that plane deliberately, didn't you?"
"I couldn't find a plane where all of them didn't exist, and I figured our dear Marquise to be the least important," G replied through his wild mop of hair.
"You did it deliberately, didn't you?" J pressed.
G shrugged. "I built a Gundam, for chrissake. Nobody as ignorant as him can force someone as smart as me into anything." He smirked evilly. "I wasn't sending that hotheaded bastard anywhere, and maybe he'll think better of it next time he tries to bully an old man into doing his dirty work."
A.N: Kouhikouryuu-chan - I usually don't explain why I write what I write, but in this, Zechs ain't exactly the most charming individual you'll ever come across. Just a warning if it squicks you. ^-^;
And as for plot? Well, I'm getting there! Have patience.
