"Hey! Noobs" Mitch yells as he charges up his gauntlet before blasting the glitch "thanks for the distraction." He smirks down at them as he walks to the edge of the open space. Chuckling to himself he can see the anger practically radiating from Miko and to a lesser degree Five. She's definitely gonna yell at me later for this. Mitch thinks as it's become routine for the two to get smoothies most days after work.

"Hey! Hey what's wrong with you!" Miko yells at Mitch and he can practically feel her rage at his audacity to ks their glitch. "Uh you can't just show up and ks another tech's glitch Williams."

Mitch smirks at the fact that he was right and that Miko has taken to using his last name on a regular basis. She'd joked with him that he liked hearing his own name too much so now she just uses his surname. Crossing his arms and standing in front of his Hinobi van Mitch gives her a disinterested look as she glares at him tapping her foot. Cute. He thinks.

"Qué te pasa, Mitch?" Five asks, not realizing he's interrupting the little one sided glare off that Miko was having with Mitch.

"That...That thing! It came out of my game system. It just went all crazy." Simultaneously Mitch and Five reset the frantic little girl. Meanwhile Miko is still glaring at Mitch and he's doing everything in his power not to roll his eyes at her. "Uh I think I was going this way."

'If you kiddies can't handle glitches. Hey more XP for me." Mitch smirks and gives Miko a wink before driving off. He laughs at her thoroughly unimpressed expression directed at him.

"Man that dudes the worst. No wonder he's got like zero friends." That's not completely true. Now is it? You're his friend kinda or maybe his something? Miko frowns slightly before playing with some of her hair. Am I his friend? Nah that doesn't feel right. Frenemy maybe? Or… Miko is pulled out of her thoughts by Five freaking out. Pushing her thoughts aside she goes to follow her partner. Miko was enjoying her time with Five and Casino forgetting about her little fight with Mitch earlier until a glitch showed up. Now she's outside the arcade with a possessed tri-tops Casino and a panicking Five. "We've got to get him somewhere safe."

"He's not going anywhere."

Oh great just what we needed. Miko slumps her shoulders slightly at the sound of Mitch's voice. Could he be anymore overdramatic. She's snapped out of her thoughts at the sound of a gauntlet getting ready to fire. Immediately her and Five get in front of Casino and put up shields.

Mitch growls in frustration. Has she gotten faster? He wonders noting her reaction time was quicker than Five an almost instantly after his blast.

"Back off, Mitch!" Five says taking a step forward.

"Ho-ho, Five! You guys are superheroes? I mean could this day get any cooler?" Casino nudges Five in excitement.

"Clear the shot, beanpole!" sending a few more blasts towards the tri-tops Mitch closes in on the duo.

"Hey, when you come at my friend you better show respect, griefer!" Casino angrily shouts at Mitch as he accidentally knocks Five over pushing past the shields.

Mitch stops shooting at them. And tilts his head in slight confusion at the glitch. Something he inadvertently picked up from being around Miko. "Friend? A possessor." Mitch chuckles darkly and backs up a bit "Oh, why didn't you say so in the first place?"

I have a bad feeling about this. Miko thinks as she prepares herself for whatever Mitch is about to pull. Mitch pulls out a bigger blaster. I hate being right. She hears Five gulp and sees Casino stiffen in fear. Hearing the blast about to fire, Miko runs up to Mitch and side kicks the blaster. "Hi-yah!" Hitting him hard enough the blast misfires and Mitch falls to the ground a few feet away from her. Oh yeah! Haha take that ya griefer. Miko smiles to herself, that felt good. "Five, run!"

Pixelating a hoverboard Five nods at Miko "Casino, get on." He grabs his friend leaving Miko to deal with Mitch.

Why is she so bloody strong? I swear I always have bruises from her. Mitch briefly thinks about all the times she manhandled him while they got smoothies. He grunts as he gets up from the ground glaring at a smiling Miko. I'll deal with her later. Mitch runs past her intent of getting Five and the glitch. He was just a bit too slow in noticing she had her gauntlet pointed at him. Miko shoots him from behind with a kitten blast. Meowing kittens and upbeat techno pop music plays as he gets stuck in the bubble. "Make it stop! It's projecting kittens on the back of my eyelids!" Mitch shouts at her. Miko just smiles and bursts with laughter. She doubled over from laughing so hard "Miko I'm serious. Let me out." Mitch was angry so angry that he didn't even stop to admire her laughter like he usually does. All thoughts of Miko's cuteness were tampered down at this moment.

Miko finally caught her breath and was now just smiling at Mitch being captured. "Ya, know this is a good look for you. Silent." She copies his smirk without realizing it as she puts her hands on her hips and leans closer to the floating bubble. The smirk disappears from her face as Mitch mumbles and points to himself. "Huh? What are you trying to say?" she brings her hand to her chin and tilts her head "Oh! Oh,oh,oh" Miko claps her hands together "you want a turtleneck? You're blowing out a candle?" She begins to gesture wildly with each guess. Mitch points more at his face, his cheeks puffed with air. "You can't breathe." Pointing at him with a smile he points back at her before flailing around. "Oh right, sorry." Disabling to bubble it pops dropping Mitch.

An out of breath Boosh comes from Mitch as he blasts Miko. "I could have you banned for interference!" He says as he types something on his gauntlet. Both him and Miko know he won't do it. That he's just making threats because he's upset.

Miko rolls her eyes as she coughs. Grunting as she starts to push herself off the ground.

For a second he debates whether to go help her up or not. But he knows she's tough and his worries leave as he sees she can get up on her own. So he turns to head to his van.

"Have I told you you're the worst recently?" Miko asks, shooting daggers at him with her eyes. Was it payback for the kick or the kittens?

"Everyday love it's implied" he calls out to her in his usual drawl waving a hand in the air as he keeps walking. "One of the rarest glitch signatures ever recorded and, of course it falls right in her partners lap." Mitch grumbles to himself. "What?" he stops mid step looking at his smashed truck. He hears Miko giggle as she walks up behind him, arms folded behind her head.

"Dude it's totally smashed. Smash, smash, smash it up." Miko says jumping in the air as Mitch glares at her. "What? You kinda deserved it."

"That noob's sitting on an XP gold mine and doesn't even know it!" Mitch says as he fixes his truck.

"A possessor is rare?"

"Uh ultrarare! And I'm gonna bag one if I've gotta go through Five's little buddy to do it. Now you coming or what?" Mitch asks, stepping one foot into the truck. Miko frowns at him. Mitch just rolls his eyes and extends a hand to her.

Shaking her head Miko uses her hero voice and points her thumb at herself "Not while I have anything to", she gets cut off as Mitch blasts her.

I don't have time for one of her tangents. "Oh don't look so glum sugar plum. It's a timed effect. Just long enough to shake you off and shut you up." Giving Miko another wink reminiscent of this morning he drives off. "There you are, tiny tech" tracking Fives gauntlet Mitch heads towards the junkyard. "You make it too easy." Mitch jumps in his seat as he hears a loud caw. Looking at his side mirror he sees Miko riding that overgrown thanksgiving dinner of a pet. "Ugh really?"

"Okay, Mitch I don't wanna do this but… oh who am I kidding? I totally wanna do this!" Miko yells as she stands up on Ally.

Oh please tell me she's not gonna do what I think she's gonna do. Miko jumps from Ally magnetizing her gauntlet so she can stick to the side of his truck. And she did it. "Are you insane?!" Stupid question. "Get off before you seriously get hurt. And watch the paint!"

"Dude, are you seriously worried over the paint. You just fixed it from being smashed to all heck and you're telling me to watch the paint?" Miko yells at him over the wind while laughing. Uh oh. She thinks noticing he's armed the side cannon and has it pointed at her. He's seriously gotta lighten up. Easily dodging the beam, Miko climbs to the roof before dropping upside down near his window. "Mind if I drive?"

Mitch screams and swerves in the road. "Get off the roof Miko." He says with a mix of anger and exasperation.

Miko shoots a portal onto the road in front of them before jumping off the truck and doing a superhero landing. Mitch screams as he drives right into not having paid attention as he watched Miko instead. Her gauntlet beeps "Go for Miko."

"Greetings to you, techtag Miko." Bitt announces taking her attention away from Mitch the billboard behind her where Mitch's van just shot out of. He's probably fine. She decides to ignore his screams, but Ally looks behind her to watch. "This is BITT."

"Yeah I know. Hi BITT." Miko absentmindedly pets Ally. Before the giant bird runs off. Ally runs back to the spot where Mitch's van went and looks over the guardrailing. Ally caws as she sees the van stuck in a tree. Cawing a second time she gets Mitch's attention.

"I'm fine Ally. Go back to your owner. But let her know I'm very angry." Mitch tells the bird as it caws once more before running off. He shakes his head remembering the first time Miko introduced the two.

Ally runs back to Miko for more head pats after checking that Mitch was okay. After hoping back on her feathered friend Miko finds Five. The two regroup before going after Casino.

"Aw man where did he come from?" Spotting Mitch Five frowns as he's headed towards the bridge.

"Mitch only cares about the XP. Mush!" And he might be extra determined since I've been messing with him.

As they soar through the air Ally cuts Mitch off causing him to swerve in the road again. No wonder that pool noodle never lets her drive. She's a bleeding menace on the road. Note to self if she ever asks to drive say no. As he gets closer to the bridge entrance he stops seeing that Miko and Ally are in the middle of the road. "I've had just about enough of you. I have told you lately how annoying you can be?"

"It's implied." Mocking his earlier words to her. As the two of them stand off against each other before racing at full speed. Another kitten blast goes off as they crash into each other.

"You're loving this aren't you?" Mitch says as monotonous as his accent will allow and the stupid upbeat meowing pierces his ears and Miko floats upside down next to him on Ally. She boops his nose in reply with a small smile on her face as he grumbles and sinks further into his seat.

"Maybe it's the kittens, but you're kinda cute when you pout." She says reaching over to mess with his hair.

"Hey, hey! What have I told you before? Look all you want but don't touch the hair." Mitch says trying to ignore the funny feeling he got when she said he was cute.

"Pfffftt whatever dude no one can resist the power of head scratches." She says reaching over again as the bubble pops.

"Now that we're outta that. It's time for you to see how a pro deals with a glitch."

"Ooooo. When's one gonna get here?" She smirks before seeing Five in trouble. Miko rushes to her partner not letting Mitch get another word in.

Mitch sighs and waits for his moment. He sees Five get thrown into Miko and he makes a note to check up on her later. Reckless girl. Letting her guard down just because the glitch is the moron's friend. There it is. Mitch smirks seeing the glitch back in its plixel form. "Hey! Noobs! Thanks for the distraction." Fixing his hair Mitch makes sure the glitch is secure.

"Pssh whatevs." Miko dismisses him with a wave of her hand. More concerned about Casino. Mitch heads back to his van resetting the civilians on the bridge and he quickly sends her a message asking if she was hurt in the fight. By the time he's in his truck she sends her reply. She's fine but is definitely gonna be sore and that he's off the hook for smoothies today since she's gonna hang with Five and Casino. Mitch smiles, glad she's okay and sends her a message saying later princess. Miko sends him an emoji of a knight.
