AN: Just another modern AU I thought of.

Sonia grumbled as she moved packed the box into the van. "God…why does this family have so much junk?"

Mighty Ray nodded. "You think that for a family of three, they would have less stuff. But they have more stuff than the family of five last week!" He huffed, helping Sonia move the box into the van. He peered inside. "Do you think we're gonna have enough space?"

"Unless we want to make another trip here, I think we should try to fit everything inside." Lin Chung appeared, carrying another box.

He shoved it into the van, before turning to Jumpy, who was struggling with his, admittedly, big cardboard box. Lin Chung took the box, pushing it into the van.

"Is NoHands still upstairs?" Sonia frowned.

Jumpy nodded. "Arguing…with…Latifah." Lin Chung went into the van to try and make more space.

Mighty Ray frowned as well. "Over what?"

At the same time as Mystique Sonia. "What the heck is she doing here?!"

Lin Chung's voice came out from inside the van. "I think about this task. Latifah was supposed to get it, but Archer fell sick, so they couldn't take this one, and because of all the things, Apetrully sent Latifah with us. Remember? The pay is high for this one."

"But it isn't our fault." Mystique Sonia sighed.

"Try telling them that." Mighty Ray rolled his eyes. "We still have two whole rooms to do. Let's go."

"And we're in time for dinner." Mighty Ray sighed in contentment as he leaned back in the seat.

Lin Chung sipped his drink, before looking up, a sigh escaping him. "Great."

Sonia frowned. "What?"

He pointed to the door, where Latifah and her group were coming into the staff cafeteria. Sonia and Mighty Ray, who had chairs with the backs facing the entrance, turned.

NoHands scowled. "What does she want?"

Lin Chung shrugged as the group bounded over to the table where NoHands' group were sitting.

"Hey, losers!" Kowloon called out.

Mighty Ray gritted his teeth, clenching his fists, but Lin Chung placed a soothing hand on his arm, shaking his head. The message was clear. Don't cause a scene.

"You talking about yourselves?" Mystique Sonia called out instead.

Latifah slammed her hands on their tables. Jumpy jumped, startled. "Hey! You losers-" Mystique Sonia rolled her eyes. "-stole our job!"

"Because someone in your group decided to be sick!" NoHands growled back.

Archer growled.

Latifah growled as well. "If it weren't for you, we would have gotten the job, and showed Apetrully what an efficient group we are."

"Ha!" Mystique Sonia laughed. "You?"

"Sonia." Lin Chung warned in a low voice.

"As if! You goons couldn't finish anything, even if you were given all the time in the world!"

Lin Chung mentally face-palmed himself. Why did they have to have this conversation? He prayed for Apetrully to appear and stop the argument, but no luck so far.

Just as both groups were on the verge of attacking one another, Woo entered. Lin Chung mentally thanked Heaven.

Woo wasn't as strong or respected in position as Apetrully, but he was a close second.

"What's going on here?!"

"Nothing, Woo." Lin Chung answered hastily on both glaring groups' behalf. "In fact, we were just leaving." He beckoned to Jumpy, who heaved NoHands up, while he himself dragged Sonia and Ray out of their seats. "Good night."

He mentally thanked Jumpy for his obedience to him. They were, after all, best friends.

Woo smiled. "Good night. And good work today."

Before Latifah could open her mouth and turn any redder with anger, Lin Chung and Jumpy dragged them out of the canteen.

Looks like they were going to eat out tonight.
