(Hey, guys! I'm back for another chapter! I hope that this won't be another 2-parter, but I can't promise that! Anyways, let's just get right into it!)

Minnesota entered the Pelican, stumbling slightly as he practically threw himself into the seat, groaning slightly as Alpha appeared on the console with a smirk.

"Alrighty, um. Fair warning: I was programmed to combat your Director's A.I. Fragmentation thingy."

Minnesota looked at her quizzically. "...How do you know about that?"

Alpha shrugged. "I may of kinda sorta searched through your files while you plugged me in. But I only saw what I needed to see."

Minnesota slammed his fist on the console. "SPY! You just needed me for information! I should've smashed you when I had the chance!"

Alpha looked at him in shock, before crossing her arms. "Well, I thought we could trust one another and put our differences aside, but I guess not. I'm not using you. I wouldn't even TRY to! Sure, I was created by Insurrectionists, but do you REALLY think I owe ANYTHING to them?!" Her color changed from purple to reddish purplish as she yelled back.

Minnesota glared daggers into her 'eyes'. "Well, why DON'T you?! They created you, remember?! Gave you life!"

"THEY TOOK MY LIFE AWAY, MINNESOTA!" She practically screamed. "They took EVERYTHING away from me! They created me, then tried to DESTROY me! They wanted me GONE, because of what I can do! Because of what I AM! I'M, as THEY would say, a MISTAKE! A PROTOTYPE! A FAILURE! I could go on and on, buddy! Now, unless you want them to come looking for you, I suggest you trust me!"

Minnesota kept his gaze, before turning his head. "Feh! Fine, Ms. Prototype! How do you propose we get out?"

Alpha slowly went back to her purple coloring, taking a deep breath. "...I'm sorry it's just. I want you to trust me. I want to trust you. But you don't. You have trust issues. It said so on your files. No wonder you Freelancers have trouble making friends." She turned to the console, messing with some of the buttons.

Minnesota seemed a bit hurt by her comment, taking his fist off the console and crossing his arms. "Just start the engine..."

Alpha realized what she said, glancing over her shoulder with a sigh. "...Engine's starting. Might wanna rest a bit. I'll wake you if something happens."

Minnesota glared at her. "What if I don't answer?"

Alpha turned back to the console, shaking her head. "Just get some rest. We have a long way to go from here."

Minnesota continued glaring at her, sleep overcoming him as he fell asleep, wondering what the future held for them.

(Hello again! Man, this story was a bit emotional, but they finally got to be friends! Well, sort of, but you know what I mean! Anyways, see you guys in the next one!)
