21:00 military time... everyone is asleep. The canyon was quiet and Violet could hear her own breath and her steps as she headed to her base. She looks at the blue base. Violet heaves out a heavy sigh. She walks into the door. The base was dark besides the light that shined in from outside. Violet takes off her mask, setting it down beside the the door. She begins to take off her armor, stripping down to her gray tank top and black spandex shorts. The freelancer begins to stretch her arms. Her body felt free from the prison of her tight armor. Violet yawns low and starts to walk toward her room. A voice from behind says, " I don't think you should go in there." Violet stops in her tracks and turns to see a dark skinned man with a bright smile. "Lavernius? Is that you?" Violet asks sweetly, putting her hand on her hip. "In the flesh." Tucker chuckles. "Good to see you back V..." he looks V up and down. "Or more like good to see you in general. Damn girl, when did you get so fine." He grin smugishly. Violets eyebrow raises, " Thank you?"

"Sorry about your room V, Tex kind of took it over, but uhh... you could stay in mine if you want." Tucker chuckles, winking at her. Violet crosses her arms over her chest, she smiles mischievously, " Fine." Tucker suddenly looks flabbergasted,

"Wait, what?!" Violet shrugs And repeats, " Fine. But," she walks closer to Tucker. "I get the bed, you get the floor." She pats Lavernius' cheek. " Got it tiger?" Tucker begins to stumble on his words as she walks past him. She stops and turns, " Well, you gonna lead the way? I don't know where your room is." Tucker stutters, "R-right... this w-way." Violet let out a small giggle and followed Tucker. " For someone who is very um... out there Tucker. You're all talk, no bite." Violet grins wickedly. Tucker and Violet stop in front of the door to his room. Tucker scoffs, "Are you challenging me captain?"

Violet's eyebrow arches, "I guess so." She turns to open the door. Tucker puffs out air. As she turns the door handle, Tucker spins her around smashing his lips into hers. Violet's eyes widen. She was... not expecting that. It takes a second but Violet's eyes close as she eases into the kiss. It was sweet, everything in Violets body was telling her to back away but she couldn't. It was warm... And so right. Tucker pulls her closer to him by the waist. Tucker deepens the kiss, Violet allowing him to explore her mouth with his tongue. His kiss was sweet and venomous. Something a girl could get very addicted to. He backs Violet up against the door, which pushes it open into the room. God knows they both need this, or that's what they both told themselves to make it less weird. And I believe we all know what happens next..

Bang! Bang! Bang! "Hey Tucker, we found Violet's armor by the door! We think she got back to the base, have you-" Tex walks into the room seeing Tucker and Violet in his bed. Violet looks up at her and says drowsily, "Texas, don't you fucking dare." Tex stares at New Mexico, " Cin Marie Rue- I- I just dont-" she thins her lips, shuts up and walks out of the room. Violet curses under her breath and looks at Tucker beside her. She untangles his arms from her waist. Violet gets up and puts on her clothes quickly. Tucker opens one eye, "Oh shit... we really..?" Violet nods her head and chuckles nervously, "Yeah... we really really did." Tucker laughs quietly, "Holy shit Violet. What does this mean? You know for us?"

Violet frowns, "I-I don't know Tucker.. I... look we need to.. we need to tell the others I'm back and I need to catch up on plans and everything."

Tucker returns the frown, "Um... right."

"So that's basically it... we're going to try to get that AI out of Tex's head." Church explains to Violet. Devil nods, " You know telling the reds ain't gonna do shit. She'll still fix the tank and kill everyone." Violet sighs, "I think I know a way to get it out of her head, all AIs are capable of travelling body to body by radio transition or if their powerful enough they can travel from body to body. If we can get Ome-- her AI out there isn't a complete way to destroy it."

"Well, we need to keep Tex here until we figure out how to kill it." Church says. Violet's eyes narrow, " Are you sure you want to keep her around because of the AI or do you just want to keep her around?"

" Oh I'm sorry, I don't really take that shit from a Captain who sleeps with their privates." Church growls.

Violet's eyes widen. Tucker scoffs, "Hey back off man, okay?" Violet looks at him and stays silent. She says quietly, "Look Church, you do what you need to do, Devil and I will go try to distract Tex from fixing the tank. Tucker and Caboose can keep an eye on us and radio you once she's almost done, okay?"

"Sounds great."
