This is the second chapter so you'll find out if Rex and Rebecca can repair their relationship or will it get worse? Read on to find out.
(I did change some ages so Rex is 18 and Holiday is 29)
Rex's apartment:
Rex was reading a comic book while listening to the radio, it was playing some relaxing music until a loud warning tune started to play then followed by a radio announcer talking.
"An EVO has been spotted near the Brooklyn Bridge, Providence are there but are having stopping it. Where is their weapon that fights and stops them?" Rex knew he couldn't let innocent people get hurt so he grabbed his goggles and a black leather jacket he had bought yesterday, then jumped off his balcony and activated his Boogie Pack then flew off towards the Brooklyn Bridge to stop the EVO.
"It seems Providence can't stop an EVO without me," Rex spoke to himself but then something happened, his Boogie Pack stopped working and he crashed into a car. Rex rubbed his head and got up, he hadn't used any of his builds for a day but he knew that couldn't be it. "Could this be because of what's happened between me and Holiday?" Rex asked himself, he then decided to try and think happy thoughts and it worked as he got his Rex Ride to work so Rex went as fast as he could to get to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Brooklyn Bridge:
Providence were finding it tough to stop the rampaging EVO as it had hundreds of eyes and tentacles for legs, it's arms were flying everywhere to fight the oncoming attacks from the tanks and gunfire.
"Six, you need to fall back! Without Rex, you lot don't stand a chance!" Shouted Holiday, Six knew she was right so instructed the soldiers to fall back. Just as Six had ran over to help an injured trooper when he heard the sound of a high speeding vehicle heading towards them and as Six looked up, he saw a figure that looked like someone riding an unusual shaped vehicle. The vehicle flew over Six and it disappeared but when the rider landed, Six could swear that the figure in front of him was Rex.
"Trying to do my old job, Six?" The figure turned around and Six saw it was Rex, he was dressed differently now: plain blue trousers, an orange t-shirt and a black leather jacket but he kept his old shoes and the goggles. "Let me take it from here." And before Six could tell him anything, Rex ran towards the EVO and activated his Funchucks as he ran towards the creature.
"Holiday, he's here," Six informed her and he could hear a quiet gasp as if she didn't expect Rex to show. "How's his biometrics looking?" He asked as he helped the last soldier into the dropship.
"His levels are beyond the charts, as if he's angry or upset." Holiday told him, Six watched as Rex was now using one Funchuck on his left and his Blast Caster on the right: he used the giant whip to grab the EVO by the neck then used the Funchuck to hit it in the face several times until the EVO became unconscious. Six started walking towards Rex just as he started to cure the the creature, turning it into a teenage boy.
"Rex," Rex turned his head and looked at Six who had removed his glasses, he looked happy to see his former partner but didn't show it. "Can we talk later?" Rex knew he had to talk to someone from Providence sooner than later and Six was understanding as he always helped Rex.
"Sure, there's a café not to far from here, down the road," Rex pointed behind Six and he nodded. "Meet me there, just us. No one else." With that said, Rex walked off as he was now a free agent and belonged to no one.
"Six, when you go to meet Rex, can you keep your comms on?" Holiday asked and even though he knew he shouldn't, Six thought that maybe it would be best for Holiday to listen so she can hear everything Rex would have to say.
"Of course, Doctor Holiday," Six agreed, he knew that this could hopefully help Holiday. "I'll switch my commlink on when I arrive at the café." With that, Six turned his comms off to help with the reloading of the tanks.
Few minutes later:
Six arrived at the café and secretly turned on his commlink so back at Providence, Rebecca could hear everything. Six walked in and saw Rex sat in the far back left corner while looking out the window, Six walked over and sat down opposite his former partner.
"Thanks for agreeing to meet, Rex," Six said as he removed his glasses and placed them inside his jacket. "We've been worried about you, Rex." Six started as the waitress brought over a banana milkshake and gave it to Rex and a black coffee for Six.
"How's everyone been? I can guess White Knight is pretty angry that I left without getting permission." Rex asked and Six shook his head.
"White Knight thinks you've left to get rid of your stress," Six told him which Rex was surprised at. "Bobo seems happy, I'm doing my best without my partner backing me up and Holiday is…." Six stopped as he looked down, Rex was feeling guilty because he made Holiday upset but also he was heartbroken as she didn't feel the same and she liked Six. "And there's something else: me and Holiday aren't together." Six added which made Rex feel a little happy.
"That's good but what Rebecca said about her thinking of us as friends," Rex started and Six could tell by how he was acting that the feelings he had for the Doctor weren't those of a teenage crush, he was completely in love with her. "You always asked me how I keep my biometrics high and I say it's because of Circe, right" Rex asked as he reminded Six and he nodded. "I lied, it's from thinking about all the good and funny times I've had with Holiday." Six then put all the pieces together and now understood everything.
"Holiday is the one who helps you both in the medical land and in the field; she's the source of your strength." Six said and Rex nodded but what Rex didn't know was that Rebecca had been listening to their entire conversation. "Are you thinking about coming back, Rex?" Six asked, Rex thought about it carefully as being around Holiday would be difficult but he had to move on.
"I'll be around tomorrow for a visit, we'll see if I come back or not." Rex told Six and he understood Rex's decision and with that, Rex left the café and walked home to leave Six to enjoy the coffee.
"Holiday, you there?" Six asked but then then heard the commlink beep as if it was turned off. Six paid for the drinks then ran out to get back to Providence.
Rex's apartment:
Rex was sat in his apartment alone until he heard a knock on the door, he went over to open it and there stood Noah and Claire, they were smiling which Rex thought was a little weird.
"What are you guys doing here?" Rex asked then decided to look behind them in case they brought their extra friend. "And don't tell me you've brought Annie!" Rex exclaimed as he was more afraid of Annie then of any type of EVO, including Van Kleiss. The pair shook their heads which made Rex feel relieved so he invited the two inside his apartment and they were impressed with how it looked.
"You have a nice place, Rex!" Exclaimed Noah, Claire nodded in agreement as she looked out the window and looked at the view.
"I agree with Noah, it's really nice!" Claire added, the couple sat down on the couch while Rex went into the kitchen and started making drinks.
"So, what brings you two here?" Rex asked, he walked back into the living room then placed a plate of biscuits on the coffee table. "Hope you didn't come over to convince me to go back to Providence?"
"Why would you think that, man?" Noah asked as Claire cuddled up into him. "We were walking around the neighbourhood and remembered that you lived nearby so we decided to pay you a visit." At that moment, Rex walked in with three cups of coffee and placed them on the coffee table.
"Well I have to say that I'm happy that you two came over to see me," Rex told Noah and Claire as they slipped their coffee. "How have you two been doing?" Rex asked, Claire smiled as she placed her mug on the table.
"Noah and me are planning about moving away, somewhere abroad," Claire told Rex and he looked surprised. "And we were wondering if you could help us." Noah sat forward and looked at his best friend.
"Rex, it would mean a lot if you could help us out." Noah added, they looked at Rex who was thinking then turned to look back at Noah and Claire.
"You know I'll help my best friend no matter what," Rex smiled then shook his best friend's hand then hugged Claire. "Congrats you two, but don't forget to invite to the wedding." He joked which made Noah laugh and Claire blushed.
The Tower:
Rebecca was in the lab and going through Rex's biometrics and even though he wasn't there, his nanites were linked to the computer so she could keep up to date with Rex's levels. She was surprised to see from the earlier battle that when Rex fought against the EVO, his bios were far more higher than ever before which caused her to become very concerned.
"You doing okay?" It was Six who asked as he was more concerned about Holiday as she had overheard his and Rex's conversation from the café. "How's Rex's bios?" Holiday showed Six the results and he looked puzzled. "Could his biometrics be linked to his emotions?" Six thought and she nodded.
"I did several tests and found out that Rex can only use his builds if he's happy or angry," Holiday informed Six which made him looked puzzled but then remembered the fight. "What's wrong?" Now it was Rebecca that was confused which was a first.
"The fight against that EVO," Six started as he sat down and removed his glasses. "Rex was able to use his Omega builds and it seemed he was angry." That made Rebecca feel like this was her fault, Six patted her on the shoulder. "Don't think this is your fault because it isn't, he'll come around." Six promised, Rebecca nodded as he was usually right so she decided to believe that Rex would that in her mind, Rebecca Holiday returned back to her work to try and focus on finding a way to cure the EVOs instead of thinking about Rex.
