I'm back! Sorry for having to put this on hold but my life kind of got turned upside down, shaken. And used as a kick ball. Well here you go this is kind of a filler to get back in the groove of things.

Eliot sat outside the office. The other boy had to be taken to the hospital for a broken leg internal bleeding. He told the other kid to stay away from Pepper but he kept grabbing at her and talking to her in such a nasty way that he just snapped.

"Mr. Spencer come on in to my office." He got up and walked into the office holding his side; the boy was much bigger then Eliot was and fell on top of him. He sat down in the much too familiar chair and noticed the police officer sitting in the corner.

"I swear I didn't star-." He was cut off by Mr. Shrades

"Elliot you knew what would happen if you got into another fight."

"Look at the video tape he was sexually harassing my friend and we both asked him to stop!" Eliot couldn't stop glancing over at the officer he already had a record and had been sent to Juvenile hall.

"I'll look it up." The man turned his chair back to his computer and pulled up the camera that had tape of the fight. Eliot watched him scroll back until he saw Eliot and Pepper in the hallway talking. He watched the clip the whole way through.

"Mr. Spencer today is your lucky day." Eliot let out a sigh of relief. "Officer we won't need you today, thank you." The officer nodded and walked away shutting the door behind him. Mr. Shrades turned to the long haired boy sitting in front of him and smiled. "So Eliot I have one question, how'd you do that?" Eliot and the middle aged man let out a smile at each other and broke out laughing. The older man was used to seeing Eliot in his office; he knew that Eliot only got into trouble to protect his friends and himself, overall he was a great kid.

"I've been training."

"Ohh ok well you need to go get your things and head home your friends are up there waiting for you". Eliot let out a smile at that.

"Hey umm Mr. Shrades do I have a punishment?"

"You know you have to have some punishment for the fight." The man said knowingly and Eliot nodded. "How about one day of in school suspension and a week of after school detention starting tomorrow?"

"Ughh Please can I not have the ISS?"

"Sorry kido its regulation when you get in a fight. Alright get out of here and go home." Eliot went and got his stuff; he felt the eyes on him; they were scared of him. He didn't blame them the kids had heard the crunch of the other boys leg. This was why he was an outcast, he could sing with grace, he got good grades, and was a star athlete but everybody except Nate and the others were scared of him.

He walked up the ramp and saw his friends standing in the front waiting room. They all came running to him asking him questions.

"How much trouble are you in?" Nate

"Dude is the other kids leg really broke?" Hardison

"Are you alright?" Sophie. He looked around at them and explained.

"Yeah I'm fine my ribs are a little sore but other than that I'm fine, yes the other kid's leg is really broken, and I have one day of ISS and a week of after school detention." Nate shrugged they were used to getting in trouble. Even Parker didn't seemed phased by anything. Pepper came up and hugged him.

"Thanks Elliot; sorry for getting you in trouble."

"Hey you didn't do anything wrong ok?" He told her still hugging her. She nodded against his chest and they both let go of each other Hardison looked down at his watch.

"Umm hey guys we better get going home or Nannas going to kill me." Everyone agreed and started walking out the door Eliot made sure he was holding Peppers hand.

They all walked to their houses they all only lived a few blocks from each other. Nate's house was first then A couple houses down was Sophie's, then around the next block was Peppers house then Eliot's was almost right across from hers and the last block Hardison and Parkers house were right next to each other at the end of the street.

Everyone Else had gone into their houses and only the blonde and the tech boy were left walking home together.

"So you live with the Andrew huh?" He asked her while kicking a stone down the road.

"Yeah."

"How are they to you?"

"Ok I guess they don't really care what I they have so much money they usually spend it on me and their other kids but they don't spend any time with us." Hardison had been there before at first you have nothing then you go to a family that has everything except time to show you love. He'd rather have nothing.

"Oh that sucks I've been there before. Hey do you wanna to come over tonight I'm not doing anything and I could help you with your homework?" She noticed they were at their houses and looked up at the dark haired boy who was a good foot taller than her.

"Umm yeah sure what time?" He looked down at his watch while she played with a strand of hair.

"Well since its 4:30 right now how about 6 o clock?"

"Ok sure." She started to walk off when she felt something enclosed in her fist. She took a peep. HIS WATCH! She turned back to him. "Hey Alec!" Parker yelled catching his attention. "Umm your watch." He jogged up to her and took the watch back asking no questions.

Parker walked into her house and shut the door while Hardison watched her. He turned to his house and made his way inside "Man that was cool!" He whisperd to himself as he heard his Nanna yell for him.

Sophie had the house all to herself and was bored again. Her parents were at a dinner somewhere in Europe and had left the huge house to Sophie. She had some light music playing and was up in her room when she heard the tap on the window. There was Nate sitting on the roof right outside her window. They had always been doing this, because of the size of the house Nate preferred to just climb the tree outside her room and come in through the window. The only time he came in through the front door was when his dad beat him. Sophie would get downstairs and drag him into the house and try to tend to his broken ribs and his other problems. She only really knew how to delay with the little stuff if his dad beat him really badly she would call Eliot. He knew what to do for injures like the ones you get from being beat up from watching the medics at the gym.

"Hey Sophie we need to talk." She watched him climb in the window and shut it.

"Ok about what?" She said walking over to turn off the music

"Parker and Pepper." Sophie looked at him with a puzzled look on her face.

"I get why were talking about Parker but why Pepper?"

"I overheard the two talking and as it turns out Peppers really good with the finer techniques of what we do."

"Now when you say finer?"

"Like being able to forge and making mixtures of medicines and I heard something about knowing her way around cars."

"Interesting, we can call Hardison and Eliot over tomorrow morning to talk about it."

"Agreed, so now that I'm here can you order a pizza I'm starving?" Sophie rolled her eyes but went and got the phone anyways. She couldn't believe what she was getting herself into.
