What. The. Hell.

Tobey couldn't have taken his eyes off Becky for more then 3 minutes, 4 tops and she was already deeper into the store she dragged her feet wanting to go into. Not to mention she had some brand new handsome arm candy hanging on her shoulders. What the heck!? Tobey for a split second looked furious, jealousy bubbling deep inside as he glared at..Toman Haloway. To Tobey Toman was an ass, but to most others he was handsome, he was funny, he was energetic, and was an amazing dancer who incorporated his moves into being the most untouchable runner in the schools football team history, and now he had his arms around Tobeys Assistant? Just who the hell does this douche bag think he is taking HIS friend under his arm like that?! Tobey felt the stinging jealousy once before, and it began to peek over his shoulder once again but was drawn back to reality by a heavy hand on his shoulder. "Woah woah easy tiger," Omar, the stores Game Master, said gently and softly so others won't hear "play it cool. Possessiveness isn't exactly a good look on a guy, hear me?". Tobey just bit the inside of his mouth and still looked livid while Omar pulled him lightly to the side and pulled a small Japanese soda from the mini fridge behind the counter "look just chill out for a sec and just watch. No matter what shit happens Becky is your friend and your suppose to be supportive of her ya dig?" Omar patted Tobey heavily trying to ease the boy. If Tobey had to be honest, the rage that bubbled a moment ago was still present, ready to rear its ugly head. But he was calm now, popping open the soda he just decided to watch what happens from here for the moment.

Becky on the other hand was such less please with this situation then she thinks anyone could imagine. Earlier she was just standing next to Tobey, trying to look less flustered then she was willing to admit when she looked to see 6 giddy teens her age grin and try to wave at her. One teen, a girl with black skater jeans all torn up at the knees, short light brown hair, and a dirt grey t shirt that looked wrinkled leaned over her seat and was calling her over, mouthing the words "quick quick!" As she hastily beckoned Becky over. Awkwardly standing there, and trying desperately to ignore Omar's love interest comment she sheepishly moved towards the group, her hands inside her brown bomber jacket she decided to wear for the day, despite the blistering heat. That was a choice she was regretting a moment ago but is thankful she can pass off her blushing as the hea- "So your Tobes girlfriend huh?" The skater girl who summoned her asked cheekly. Yhea she's not gonna pass this off as the heat "i- What excuse me?" Becky asked reeling back a bit wide eyed but this only caught the other girls intrest even more "come on you know what I said. Your Tobes Girlfriend? The one he keeps saying has been helping him with projects and, reforming" she shrugged the last bit "Whatever that means". Becky held up her hand and dismissively waved it "Uh no no absolutely not-" she paused "Ah well that's half true half not true-" "That would be like just 3 things girl," the skater girl smirked leaning on her hand and smirked at her "since we know for a fact the projects and reform are true..that just leaves you being his girlfriend as a truth, lie, ooor half truth" Becky went silent and shook her head but the girl only continued to look like the devil getting a new toy as she drummed her fingers together examining Becky "I see..." she hummed.

A piece of paper wadded in a ball was thrown at her head and she stopped drumming midway "Jacki leave her alone," the squeaky soft voice of what looked like a freshman high schooler laughed lightly "your going to scare her off" the boy said and looked over at Becky with a light smile. He was short, super pale and had short black hair to match, slightly more wavy at the top, thick rimed horn lavander glasses and a baby blue shirt. "Sorry about her" The boy put a hand to himself "im Angel," he then began to guester to each other person at the table respectivly "that feral possum who greater you so kindly," "Hey!" "Is Jacki," he pointed to the curly red head Becky saw before, now playing on his phone "that's Tom..hes just Tom" Tom only gave a light hum to respond, Angel began to move to the last boy of the group, against his dark skin he wore neon blue dyed cornrows, a white t shirt with a black graphic design, black pants, and white shoes, "that's Orpheus, he's a graphic designer" the stylish Teen smiled but didn't say anything as he looked at his phone and quickly typed something before an electronic voice said "HELLO" for him. Angel then pointed beside him at two other girls, both looked nearly identical except for a pair of red goggles being on the one to the left, and blue goggles being on the one to the right, they had slightly tanned olive skin, shiny and glossy respectivly, wild Brown hair that frayed every which way, and both wore Wet surfer suits that were open and pulled down but hung over pairs of baggy red shorts, and a tanktop rested over a visible tan like that they seemed to only gain this summer from usually wearing T shirts. they both waved and in unison said "sup" "that's Milly and Tilly..they like to mess with people so I'd be careful," The twins shot Angel a glare and made the poor kid almost jump away and hide behind his dungeon master book. Becky watching the trio gave a small giggle "it's very nice to meet all of you," she said, completely forgetting her awkwardness from before now that she knew their names, her blushing vanished as she smiled "im Becky. I'm a friend of Tobey's" Jacki leaned forward smiling "giiiirlfrieeen-" "Jacki stop it" Angel deadpanned, almost like he was a sound board Orpheus made a wrong awnser buzzer sound from his phone shaking his head and looking at the skater girl. Jacki gave an annoyed groan. Becky shook her head "no I'm sorry but that's not my description..more like pain in the ass for Tobey McCallister and his mental health"

"So does that mean your open to filling that position for someone else?" An aussie accent asked, before Becky could turn around to see who said it she was already leaning back in surprise by how up close the new voice was to her personal space. Bearly an inch infront of her was a black haired tan man, he almost looked like the perfect mix of Chris Evan and Hemsworth, especially in the body department, sharp baby blue eyes, and hair spiked up, there wasn't a single thing to stop you from seeing his face and the confident white smile he wore. On his shoulders was at first glance looked like a high school letterman jacket but closer look seemed to be an All Might themed jacket, underneath was a muscle shirt tucked into lazy grey sweat pants cut into shorts. The new face looked over Becky, smiling waiting for her reply. Becky backed away from him a bit, "uh...technically speaking yes but i-" "then wanna go on a date? Friday night?" The man asked, stepping closer. Jacki frowned and swung her arm around to stop the man "Yo Toman knock it off" she warned, but Toman didn't listen, swatting the skater girl away like she was a bug to him and just kept staring at Becky, looking her up and down. This is Exactly the look Becky wanted to avoid entering the store, guess there's always going to be creeps somewhere. Toman reached his arm around Becky and pulled her close "come on just one night. One date all I'm asking" Becky wanted to punch his lights out, gritting her teeth in annoyance that she knew she couldn't, if this guy happen to be a friend of Tobeys and this group, she'd rather not destroy him just yet. She lightly pushed against Toman to get away "piece of advise cassanova but it's better to ask Before you put your hands on someone, back off" Becky said firmly. Still trying to get away Toman stopped pulling her closer but kept his arm on her shoulder "alright alright I'm backing off...but I'll only let go if you agree to go on a date" "Excuse me?" Becky asked angerly staring up at Toman, he still had a cocky grin.

"Toman leave her alone," Angel frowned, the boys soft voice sounding almost strained to try and tell across the table at the much larger teen "this is why no one likes coming around lately, your being a jerk" Jacki said in annoyed tone but once again Toman shrugged and paid them no mind "ey it's not my fault that no one can handle my greatness, come on," he drawled looking at Becky again "you can't deny we wouldn't make a cute pair.." Becky frowned. She put a hand on his, for a moment Toman smiled wider "actually," she used just a little bit of super strength and gripped his fingers and pry them off her shoulder, Tomans face went from smiling to absolute pain as the sound of his fingers popping, maybe cracking? Came out of Becky's hand "I think me doing this and trying to push you away earlier already clarified that I Don't think we do" she scowled and gripped harder, guiding Tomans arm and hand away from her as he fell to his knees, giving light squeeks of pain, he slapped the marble floor below "the fuuu" Becky gripped harder and he gave a girlish yelp "Ah ah no cussing please...im not a huge fan of curse words" Toman Wanted to cuss even more now but wanted to save his fingers so he said nothing but nodded. The dnd table was only stunned at the sight. Tiny Becky was easily making Toman close to begging for mercy at her bell bottom jeans and she didn't didn't look like she was Trying. Becky turned to the group smiling sweetly. "Anyway," she said and basically threw Toman back his hand to him like it was a bag of beans "im no one's Girlfriend, im just Tobey's friend. Who is a girl". The group was stunned but quickly found its zeal and beamed at Becky "dude you are fu- ah, your sre amazing!" Jacki laughed and leaned back on her chair beaming "yhea what was that, like a 5 strength check kinda deal?" Tom asked lazily, don't think he even paid attention. Angel clasped his hands "had to be a martial arts of sorts, had to, that was amazing!" Becky now turned a bit sheepish and smiled rubbing the back of her head "Ah no, no it wasn't really" she said softly "I just, grabbed his hand off me, he was being annoying" Toman shot her a glare from the floor as he nursed his hand but was welcomed to the site of the whole dnd table nodding in agreement. A thin long shadow slowly hovered over him. Toman looked up to see a very amused, and very pleased Tobey McCallister, holding a Japanese soda and cackling softly as he leaned over the football player "it appears you missed the part where I said she was My assistant, in building my robots, Becky is a far more amazing than the any woman that crosses Your path Toman, by a mile.." before Becky could smile at the praise Tobey quickly added "she isn't as brilliant as yours truly but she's a close second" Becky just rolled her eyes.

Toman stared up at Tobey and growled a bit "she's a freak that's what she is," he snapped, earning a cold stare from Tobey "seriously what kinda crazy bitch did you find here T-ah!" His eyes stung. Tobey was pretty fed up with him at this point and had suddenly felt some new courage to pour the lemon flavored liquid on Tomans face, making the man fold in on himself and groan in pain as he squeezed his eyes shut trying to wipe away the lemon zesty goodness from his eyes. "Oops I have dropped my soda ny apologizes" Tobey said dryly and took a sip of his drink again "whatcha gonna do" he shrugged. "You little..guuuuh" Toman had enough and was now getting to his feet, a furious expression on his face despite having his eyes shut and his fingers now appearing bruised seemed to size up Tobey for a moment and pull back his hand.

"Enough," the booming voice of Omar ordered and even made Tobey stiffen with how fed up the normally friendly man sounded, the giant game master made his way over with an annoyed expression. "Toman, I know damn well you are not going to assault Tobey," he frowned, Toman gaped at him and pointed at Tobey "wha- but He is the one who dropped his soda on me?!" Omar nodded "aand said it was an accident, he's going to Clean It Up" his voice edged looking at Tobey who quickly looked away "but it was an accident," Toman whipped around at Becky "what about this bitch?! Look what she did to my hand!" Omar frowned "this lovely lady is a newcomer and isn't use to your bull Toman. She wanted to get away from you, warned you, you ignored her, and got what was coming" Omar crossed his arms "frankly that was gonna be done by me Or her because I warned you repeatedly not to touch other patrons without their permission" Toman was about to say something but Omar cut him off "do me a favor and check yourself out. Your being an ass" Toman glared up at Omar, but recoiled when the larger man just stood unfazed and looked like he was waiting for him to move himself. "...what fucking ever" Toman cursed and moved away from the group, choosing to go around them and not say another word but glared at them. Tobey giving him a very cheery smile and waving him off as he left.

Omar cleared his throat...

"Tobes" he said simply and Tobey signed getting up, " I got it I know" "good boy" Omar smiled and turned back to his dnd table smiling "aight guys I know that was fun to watch for a bit there but let's not forget, I'm fighting a goblin lord here I can't solo this" Angel chuckled softly "right right," he looked up at Becky as did Jacki "hey you wanna play Beck?" Jacki asked hopefully. Becky raised a brow, Beck? "Get use to that, nicknames stick around forever here" Omar chuckled and took his seat and waved her over "come on you might like it" he said welcomingly. Becky hesitated a moment, she wanted to see what the hype was about from earlier but glanced behind her and the thought came to her head as she looked behind her, saw no Tobey but saw the fizzy drink staining the once pretty white carpet and then shook her head "maybe, but later?" She asked sheepishly and pointed at the carpet "I am semi responsible for that too if you think about it, so I should help" Omar shook his head "no come o- Tobey dropped it he should clean it" Becky was already making her way towards the back where she spotted Tobey heading and nodded "yhea but Tobey is helpless with almost everything non robot related so I should probably be helping anyway" she laughed, Omar smiled and nodded "aight, ey if you ever get the urge to do something nerd without him feel free to come on by, our table is always open". Becky smiled and continued on her way.

"See that wasn't so bad now was it Becky?"

Becky looked a bit annoyed and stared up "now where were you during all of that?" She asked, "Ah come on I was enjoying the show!" The narrator yelled then cleared his throat and mumbled "plus I think id scare the new characters" "well you Are a disembodied voice," "Yes yes I'm well aware of that, just like how I'm well away you could have left Tobey to clean up the mess himself and join the fun? see what you've been missing out on?" Becky was quiet for a moment and shrugged "I'll feel bad leaving him to do it by himself, besides I don't know the first thing about the game his friends are playing, so I'm not gonna really Fit in" "Not just yet anyway" Narrator hummed "you'll warm up to them soon enough"

Becky made her way to the back room of the store and it was just as clean an organized as the front, even more so really. Off to the side was a large heavy cardboard box filled with familiar metal, gas, qnd various other material taht she has seen Tobey used time and time before for her pick up. She was had the room been not so open and bright she almost would have run straight into Tobey, workshop paper towels in hand "a-ah" he stuttered, and smiled "my lovely assistant...uh what you doing back here Botsford?" Becky grinned and took that paper towels out of Tobeys hands and gave him a light bump "no calling me lovely assistant here Tobey, don't want you to get teased even more..that's my job" Tobey rolled his eyes "i suppose i shouldn't have been so vague in that job description all those years ago huh?" He waved hid hands dramatically "foot note, Tobey McCallister will be calling you lovely assistant whenever he feels like it" Becky snorted "if you had put that on I doubt I would have signed up" Tobey pouted a little and raised a brow "so whats going on? did Omar need something from back here or?" he trailed a bit, but Becky shook her head "nah not really, actually since you were such a gentleman earlier, I've decided to come back here to help get stuff to clean up the stain you left on the carpet" she said. Tobey frowned "why? its my mess I should clean it by myself" he stated. Becky thought for a second, tapping the paper roll on her chin for a moment "hmm good point..But, not good enough" she smirked and watched his face look a bit upset "this is just a small part of a thank you I'm going to give you for holding your tongue earlier and letting me handle the jerk Toe-Nail from before," Tobey snorted a bit, "that's Toman Becky" "i said what i said" Becky replied with a smirk, making Tobey laugh a bit "yes well that being said for starters i knew you'd either throw him out the window or knock him out, but regardless i should still clean it up" Becky sighed "this is getting nowhere McCallister..." she paused for a minute in thought, then smirked "listen I'm just happy to have seen you spill that drink in Toe-nails face is all, so either you let me help or you pay for ice cream later" Tobey laughed "okay now why would I pay for ice cream? isn't it suppose to be a reward for me?" Becky just closed her eyes and put on her best posh British accent once again "oh but my dear Mr McCallister its always the gentlemen who pays for the ladies way is it not" Tobey just gave her a deadpanned stare "that depends on if the lady would like the ice cream cut from her next check". Becky just rolled her eyes and chuckled "come on Tobey just let me help", Tobey just gave her a dry look for a moment and sighed "alright if you insist Botsford" "oh, but i do Mr McCallister" Becky replied in a posh accent once more. Tobey shook his head a moment, just watching his assistant grin as she walked off with the towels. Tobey stood there looking like he was about to say something but didn't, he just looked to the concrete floor. It was familar, old, sturdy. He came here time and time again over the years since giving up his life as a villian and tge smell of oil in the air here always eased his mind. And what was on his mind, was a bit much for the young genius. Should he tell her? Tobey closed his eyes "Botsford," he called, stopping Becky right at the box of what his pick up order was, "yhea?"

...

...

Tobey sighed and forced a smile "Ah. Lunch is a bit delayed," he said "we need another piece from the order but Omar said the delivery won't be for another hour". "Oh, okay," Becky shrugged "fine by me...I mean aside from that one douche bag that was here earlier, your friends seem really nice, so I don't mind" Becky smiled and walked out the door to the front "n- wait hold on Becky their not my-" Becky didn't seem to hear him as she went on. Leaving Tobey where he stood to ponder...was he friends with them? He wondered. He talked to them, shared stories, qnd Omar was a nice guy and all but...did they really see him as a friend? The thoughts wouldn't stop playing him, slow to move his feet he began to make his way towards the front, where he heard the group greet Becky with her new nickname briefly before hearing them call out numbers for the rolls they made. Tobey tried to recall the day he stepped in here. It's no Botsfords residence. Their rowdy. Crude...what drew him here?
