Hey readers! I wanted to say a few things before this next chapter. First
of all, thanks for reading. Next, sorry about the block writing style, I
tried to space things, but when I upload, the spaces go away, and I'm new
to this, so I don't know how to fix it. Also, I am planning on making this
story not fit the actual show's storyline. I am sure that you will see
what I mean in a few chapters, but I wanted to warn you now.
In A Lab At N'Tek
"I don't need any help, I like my job, and I don't want a vacation." Berto shouted to Max as he received the news of Dr. Crystal Harrington's assistance having been requested earlier that morning. "And if I did want help," He continued "I would ask, I can't believe that you all went behind my back, why do you guys hate me so much?" "Hey, wait a minute bro, that's not fair" Max said to stop Berto from his ranting and raving. "Nobody hates you, but you have already proven in the past two minutes that this was a good idea. You're starting to think of being here as a job rather than an adventure like you used to think. You're starting to lose your passion. Dad and I couldn't let that happen to you, don't you understand?" The expression on Berto's face began to calm but abruptly tensed again. "Wait, 'Dad and I', you had something to do with this? I hope you know that you suck hermano." "Whatever Berto, you need a vacation, and some help around here. Or you just need a woman, I don't know which, but we'll find out soon enough" Max chuckled as Berto tried hard to keep calm through that slam. "Dude, you have been way too serious lately. I mean like worse that Rachel, and you know how bad she can be." Max smirked at his last comment, he could be so witty sometimes that even he couldn't keep a straight face. Berto on the other hand, was not thrilled, to say the least. "Not true, everyone knows that she is the biggest bi." Berto's insult was cut short when the door to the lab opened and Pete Costas stood in the doorway. "Hey guys. I hear that Team Steel's newest recruit will be arriving any time now, are you excited?" Pete gestured toward Berto since in an earlier conversation with Max, he know that she was given a Tech. Doctorate almost five years earlier, and that she would be working mostly with Berto. "Excited?" Berto threw his arms up as he shouted. "I'm about to be replaced by some 500 year old high-tech wannabe, and you actually expect me to be excited. Are you out of your freakin' mind?" A puzzled look came over Pete's face, a look that Max had seen grace his friends' face many times before. "500, Berto, she is 23, and from what I have been told, she's smart, like you. Dude, she's a published scientist. A girl that can speak, and do other things, in English, German, and Spanish, can you imagine? Think of the possibilities of hooking up with a girl who can talk, and do other things, in three languages man." All three boys let their minds wander into the gutter for a moment before clearing their throats and continuing. "Man, a girl, your age, who can mentally give you a run for your money, why are you so pissy?" Pete couldn't understand why any guy would be upset by the thought of sharing his time and tight work space with a cute, smart woman like Crystal.
