Coming Together
Chapter 3
Hailey rolled out of her bed and shook her head a bit. She could
already hear the not so reassuring sounds of people at least
attempting to cook. Her nose was also picking up evidence of the same.
Still a little groggy, the sliver haired woman made her way to the
bathroom that stood at the end of the hall. While in the exceptionally
clean facility she paused long enough to wash her face and brush her
knee length hair.
As she entered the kitchen Hailey was forced to abandon her still
partially asleep state and enter the world of the aware. A quick count
told her that Brad was absent, as was Nat. Farfarello was perched on a
counter and smirking as he watched the others struggle with breakfast.
Schuldig was busy prodding at Heather as the stunning blonde broke
eggs into a bowl to be made into scrambled eggs. There was quite a bit
of yellow goop on the counter top and tiled floor. Alexis was hidden
in a corner pouring juice into glasses and making coffee, while Nagi
was flipping pancakes.
"Morning sunshine!" greeted Lexi when she saw her leader and friend.
"Morning" was Hailey's mumbled reply as she plopped down onto a chair
at the table.
Soon enough Schuldig had been slapped into mock submission and Heather
was finishing her eggs. Hailey found herself stationed in front of a
four slice toaster and was smearing butter onto the now crisp and hot
slices of bread. It took quite a bit of work but eventually everything
was on the table and ready to be served. Mostly thanks to Nagi and
Hailey who managed to keep everything off the floor while everyone
else was trying hard not to step on one another.
The entire time Farf was grinning like, well, a madman and Schu was
only trying to get in the way and cause havoc. Finally the table was
set like a massive buffet with eggs, toast, pancakes, juice, cereal
and coffee. As Alexis placed a jug of milk near the cereal and bowls
Hailey prodded at Natalia's mind to wake the girl and Schu summoned
Brad.
Brad entered and took in the view with a look of utter astonishment.
Never had he seen such a large amount of food. It hadn't occurred to
him until that moment exactly how much food would be required to feed
eight adults.
"Nat isn't going to be up anytime soon, so you all may as well start
eating" Hailey stated.
Brad nodded, but made no move to get anything until the others had
gotten what they wanted. Because everyone wouldn't fit around the
table it didn't take long for people to be placed around the living
room and kitchen with plates of food. Farf reclaimed his seat on the
counter and Brad shot him and harsh look.
"Please Farfarello, not on the counter"
The silver haired psycho made no move to relinquish his seat. Brad
seemingly forgot that the man was there and fixed himself a plate of
food. Hailey was the last to get anything and when she did all she
made herself was a rather large bowl of cereal as Brad slipped back to
his office.
Schu had turned the television on and most everyone, Brad and
Farfarello excluded, were watching anime. Hailey sat on the floor
propped against the wall and watched her comrades as she ate. Schu had
finished with his plate, but instead of getting more he tried to
scavenge from the plates of those near him.
"Hey! Damnit that hurt!" shouted Schu as he snatched his hand away
from Alexis's plate.
Grinning visibly the hazel eyed girl waved her fork accusingly at him,
"Yea, well they're my eggs!"
Giggling Heather nestled a little farther bock into the foot of the
couch and stuffed a bite of toast into her mouth. Schuldig gave her a
baleful look and got up to get more. As he moved he knocked against
Nagi's legs and sloshed some juice into the boy's lap. Yelping as his
pajama bottoms were soaked the young teen grabbed a napkin and tried
to absorb as much of the offending liquid up as he could. The red-
headed male paid no notice to the juice spill, but a startled squeak
came from the kitchen as a plate mysteriously fell onto his bare foot.
"I am NOT a punching bag! Stop taking it out on me!" he whined as
everyone else broke into hushed laughter.
Suddenly Nat's voice broke into the girl's minds making them all
flinch a bit /I lost him!!!/
A moment later the panicked red head burst into the room and shouted
again, this time vocally "I lost him! How could I..."
Everyone was now looking at the flushed girl and blinking.
"Lost who?" questioned Nagi.
"I...I ... no one." Natalia looked a bit defeated and embarrassed.
Schu seated himself back between Alexis and Nagi and looked over his
shoulder at Nat.
"Nope! Farf is right there!"
Natalia grumbled, but made no reply and put a little food on her
plate. As it dawned on the rest that Nat had thought she lost
Farfarello laughter once again filled the room.
"Schu let me out... You sleep too long little girl"
Natalia poked her tongue out at her roommate and took a seat at the
food covered table. Breakfast played out rather quietly after that.
Not counting another incident involving Schuldig and a fork.
When everyone was done eating the girl's quietly excused themselves
back to their rooms. A wise choice on their part that resulted in two
grumbling and pouting boys clearing the breakfast dishes while their
teammate smirked at them from the counter.
Heather dropped down onto her bed and smiled, bouncing a few times.
Then she got around to putting her clothes into drawers. Her clothes
weren't anything special except for her two mission skirts and a few
other articles. Mostly she had jeans and cut off shorts along with tee-
shirts and tank tops. Alexis had given her several more revealing
pieces, but they were rarely worn. After she had un-packed and pulled
on some jean shorts and a buttercup yellow tank top Heather went
looking for company.
On her way to Lexi and Schu's room the blonde was joined by a bouncing
and grinning Natalia. The smaller teen girl was wearing baby blue
jogging pants that said 'Demoness' on the rear and a plain white tee.
Giggling and jostling each other as they entered the room neither was
prepared for what they found. Not that they were badly shocked, but
Lexi needed to lock the door while she was changing. Shrieking and
laughing even more Heather and Nat darted back out of the room and
Lexi hurled stray pieces of clothing at them.
Hailey made her way out of her room holding a bundle of clothes under
her arm and headed down the hall to the bathroom. "I'm taking a
shower..." She made no inquiry as to why Alexis had kicked them from her
room.
Both girls nodded and waved their leader towards the bathroom "Have
fun Hun!" added Nat
/Is it safe yet?/ Heather asked, poking at Alexis's mind using the
permanent connection the group of girls had.
/Yes. I suppose/
Heather nudged Natalia and headed into the room. Nat wasted no time in
making herself comfy, which meant she placed herself on Schuldig's bed
with a mischievous grin. Heather rolled her eyes and flopped down on
Lexi's bed. Alexis was now fully clothed in a pair of simple flare
legged jeans and a black tee-shirt. Smiling Heather poked Lexi's side
and smirked." So, which one do you like?"
Alexis smiled evilly and seated herself next to Heather "Well dear
heart.... Schu is cute, but definitely not worth my time. Brad on the
other hand..." Lexi smiled at the other girl's and crossed her hands
over her heart making lovey-dovey eyes. "Now that is worth my time"
None of the girls could keep a straight face and burst into hysterical
laughter.
"You weirdo!" Nat sent a pair of socks from an open drawer at Alexis.
Still laughing a little the girls calmed themselves and sat in a state
of constant chatter that was broken intermittently by giggles. Hailey
came in after a while wearing a long pair of pajama pants and a
matching top. She had her damp hair pulled over her shoulder and was
carefully removing tangles from it with her brush.
"So, you all haven't laughed yourselves into a coma?" Smiling
pleasantly at her girls she sat on the bed with the brunette and
blond.
Nat tried her best to look innocent while she opened and shuffled
through Schu's dresser drawers without moving a muscle. "Nope! Not
even close!"
Hailey raised an eyebrow and smirked "Well if you don't shield
yourself Schu may come in here and make you mind your business."
Nat rolled her eyes and closed all of the drawers she had opened.
"Fine! I'll snoop later!"
Laughing and chatting together the girls passed a little time with
each other. Much to their approval no one disturbed them.
Schuldig collapsed dramatically onto the couch and whined. "They are
no fair! Why did we have to clear the dishes?"
Nagi shook his head a bit and levitated the last of the dishes to
their proper places. "Oh stop you big baby! You can complain worse
then any girl any day!"
The young Japanese boy forced Schu's legs from the couch and sat down,
looking for something to watch on TV. Finally he settled on a show
about crazy people who ate strange things for money. Farf was,
amazingly, still on the counter, only now he was sharpening a blade
that he produced from some concealed place on his body.
"Are we allowed to play with them?" the scarred man questioned
Nagi looked back at him and glanced at his knife, twitching a bit
"Well... ummmmm"
Schu also looked back, but his reply was completely different "I hope
so, other wise I'm going to be very bored and deprived. What do you
have in mind Farf?"
Noticing the youngest of his teammates look Farf smirked, "Nothing too
painful, more humiliating than anything"
Schu smirked and nodded, "Sounds good my friend, sounds very good"
"Ummm guys, don't you think..."
Schu cut Nagi off with a pillow to the face and rolled his mischievous
green eyes. "Hush young one. This is going to be a lot of fun and you
are gonna help!"
The young assassin let out a low whine, but complied with Schu and
Farfarello's wishes and sat in on their planning session. He even gave
them a few suggestions.
Brad glanced up when a knock sounded on his office door. "Come in"
Hailey entered and placed herself comfortably on the edge of his desk.
"Do we have any assignments yet?
She was going to have to get more experience with planning out
missions, and Brad seemed to be the perfect mentor. Once their
apprenticeship was over the girls were going to rely on Hailey to get
things organized so that no one would get hurt. That was her job after
all, protect, lead... annoy.
"Yes, we have an assignment for tomorrow night. Here's your copy.
You'll need to pick two members of your team to go along with two of
mine. Read the agreement and choose carefully."
The young female leader nodded absently and moved from his desk to the
corner, where she sat on the floor propped against the wall. It was a
habit of hers. Chairs annoyed her really, and the floor was much more
to her liking.
Brad went back to reviewing his own copy of the agreement. He already
knew who he would be sending. Well, who would be accompanying himself
and the girls. Schuldig seemed to be up to his tricks again or at
least planning them. Hopefully the mission would avert his attention
for a while and spare the girls some trouble. Either way, there was no
real need for Nagi's expertise or Farfarello's blood lust.
After reading the papers she had been provided with carefully Hailey
got up and left the quiet office. She already had her own plans for
whom to send. She would be sending Heather and Alexis. Let Brad play
leader for now, she was still learning after all. Besides, she was
rather sure Brad would be going on this mission. When she had her fun
she wanted to be free of the man. It was easier for her to plan if
hers didn't have to match his.
Farf allowed himself access to the bathroom, a sly smile on his face.
Of course he wanted a bath, but there was no reason he couldn't make
some fun for himself and the other's while he was at it.
The scarred man quickly showered and wrapped a towel around his waist.
Then he picked up the small packet he had brought in with him and
found the conditioner. Without a further thought he emptied the orange
powder into the creamy mess and closed to the top. A quick shake and
his trap was set. Hopefully the girls would enjoy their showers as
much as he would.
In the mean time Schuldig was planning his own fun. That required a
quick trip to the store. Smirking like a madman the red head pulled on
his shoes and started out. Brad, however, intercepted him and leaned
his tall frame against the door.
"What exactly is it you have planned?"
A quick roll of his eyes and Schu took a similar position against the
wall. "Nothing that will scar anyone"
"I would hope not. You cause enough trouble without maiming anyone.
Just don't take things too far." With that said Brad steered himself
into the kitchen for a sandwich.
Schuldig snorted and left the apartment. He would be back soon enough
and with a few surprises for his house mates.
