Turk: Reactions
Chapter Two, Reno
While Vincent ate his food slowly, Reno ate his with gusto. "This is the best dinner around," he talked while eating his food. "So, why'd you come back? Without making a fuss that is, 'cause you really had no choice in the matter anyways."
"I like being a Turk, and until I died, it was my life."
"I can understand that. I wouldn't know what to do if I couldn't do this. Bet your friends aren't too happy though." Half a pig disappeared down Reno's throat. "Are you upset that you didn't get a better position?"
"No. I was gone for thirty years. A lot has happened and there is much to catch up on. This is the best for me."
"Guess so. You'll catch up in time though. You know what they say, the more things change, the more they stay the same."
"It would seem so. Perhaps then, one day, I will try for a higher position."
"You should, yo. That's some talent you got kid."
"Kid?"
"Figure of speech. You look like a kid, young and all. Though older, must the eyes or hair. Haven't really aged a day though." Reno smiled mischievously, "old geezer."
"Be nice Reno," Elena reprimanded as she sat next to Vincent. Rude slipped in next to Reno.
Vincent pushed his plate of bacon and sausage aside. A sound similar to wind and the plate clattering caused him to quickly look at it. It was completely empty. He looked around at the three people happily munching on his leftovers.
Elena happily informed him that, "you should never turn your back on your food."
He felt slightly ill watching them eat all that food. It was enough to feed an army. 'At least they are not messy.' Reno shoved too much food in his mouth causing it to spill down his chin. 'At least Rude and Elena are not messy.' Elena accidentally flipped food at Rude. 'Okaaay, Rude is not-' Rude swallowed and entire coffee with a sound similar to waterfall.
"Planet, do any of you have manners?" Either they didn't hear him or they didn't care. Either way they continued to eat as if nothing was wrong.
-VV-
After breakfast Elena showed Vincent to his office. It was located next to hers, which was also next to Rude's followed by Reno's. "This is awesome," Elena stated, "I am so glad that you're with us. I mean, according to your files you're, like, bad mojo and all, but in this video I saw of you, you were all laid back and just cool, ya know, and younger, defiantly younger. Not that you're old or anything. Well you are. I mean sixty is getting pretty-"
"Elena, please stop talking."
"Oh? Sorry, guess I just get-" a look from Vincent and she shut her mouth.
"Words are not always needed."
She nodded.
"Do you think you could acquire some items for my office? Good, then I will make a list." He wrote what he wanted on a paper and gave it to her. "Thank you."
She nodded and left his office. As she gathered the items that he needed, Tseng was suspiciously absent from her thoughts.
-VV-
After Elena disappeared down the hall, Reno snuck up to Vincent's door. Quietly as he could, he tied a rope to the handle of Vincent's door and the other end to the door across from Vincent's. Rude peaked out of his office for a moment, but seeing what Reno was up to, went back inside. Reno set up a tripod and recorder just outside of his office and waited for the fun to start.
Vincent could hear Reno outside his door and almost didn't get up. However, curiosity got the better of him and he moved from his chair to stand by his door. When the scratching had subsided, he reached out and pulled the door handle. Nothing happened. He tried again and got the same results. This time he used both hands. When there were still not positive results, he grabbed the handled with both hands and jerked the handle in an almost erratic manner.
Slightly miffed he tried another tactic. Again with both hands he pulled with all his Hojo given strength. The door merely bowed and groaned but did not move. Leaning into the door he pushed but was meet with similar results because the door was not made to move that way.
"RENO!!!" He yelled, causing the red head to flinch.
Huffing from the exertion, Vincent continued to push and pull, all the while his adrenaline building up. When enough energy and rage built up, he stepped away from the door. He crossed his arms and bowed his head, eyes closed. A tremendous roar left his throat. He spread his arms and tilted his head back, eyes glowing, as he growled for the entire world to hear. A red light briefly illuminated his body, dissipating to reveal a demon, Chaos. Wings ripped from his back and stretched as much as the office would allow. With strength not often witnessed, Chaos clenched his fists and punched the door.
From inside his office, Rude peeked out into the hall just as the door exploded with the force equal to a dynamite shed being blown up. The fragments of the door spread wide, each piece no bigger than a crayon.
The building alarms went off, and the red emergency lights started blinking. Into this hysteria stepped Chaos. He turned glowing eyes towards Reno. An intern walked around the corner and turned back around. "Reno…" Chaos growled while spreading his wings, "flee…" Reno did exactly that, knocking the recording camera over. After Reno disappeared around a corner, Chaos followed. Rude quickly picked the camera and followed them, eager to catch it all.
All through the ShinRa building Chaos chased Reno. No one intervened until Chaos started taking pot shots with Death Penalty at Reno. Elena stood arms crossed before Chaos. Reno hid behind Tseng and Rufus as Chaos disappeared and Vincent returned.
Rufus was seething, "My office now."
-VV-
Rufus sat behind his desk glaring. Tseng stood behind him, glaring. Elena glared. Rude just stood there. Rufus slammed his fists on his desk. "What in the name of Jenova's head do you two think you were doing!?!"
"It was only a joke sir," Reno stated weakly.
"A joke! Do you even realize how much damage was caused!?"
"Sir," Vincent spoke, "I over reacted. It will not happen again."
"It had better not, unless you want to die again." He shook his head. "Where do store such awesome power in the lithe body of yours? Regardless, seeing as no one was killed and it was your first day, which Tseng tells me was stressful enough, I will excuse you this time. As for you Reno, you must complete not only your paper work, but Rude's also from now on. Rude, give Mr. Valentine the disk to do with as he pleases. Please try and remember that you are Turks, not soldier recruits. Dismissed."
Except Tseng, the Turks quickly filed out of Rufus' office. Reno scratched the back of his head and looked at Vincent. "Sorry 'bout the prank."
"Apology accepted. Perhaps you will think twice before pranking me?"
"Nope, I'll just be more sneaky." With that the three went to their separate offices. Vincent placed the disk in a drawer and allowed himself to laugh at the morning. It was ceratintly a memorable first day.
-VV-
There you go. This is how Reno regards Vincent, as fresh pranking material. Now I need to think of something for the first mission, but I have no ideas. Well, please review, and thank you for the positive feedback. I hope I answered the questions that a couple of you had.
