I finished something WOOO. It's funny because after I finished this chapter I punched through the next chapter because I really wanted to do it. Now I feel sad that I have to wait next week to upload it.
Either way, I hope you enjoy this for now!
READ ON!

"Spy zaid vee vould meet zomeone down here…" Medic said lightly, "Do any ov you know vere he vent avter zat?"
"Said 'e 'ad business ta take care of," Engineer replied, "Good riddance ta 'im, ah say."
"But I vonder…"
"Mmph mmphmphph mmmmph."
Medic sighed, "I zuppoze you're right, zere iz no senze in vorraying."
Pyro suddenly stopped, and the other two nearly ran into him/her. Medic crouched down low and Engineer prepared his shotgun. "Mmphphph?"
Medic took only a moment to register what Pyro had said. "I am not charged. Vat iz zere?"
Pyro turned to Medic to tell him what might be out there, but s/he was interrupted when something Red came around the corner. The German let out a strangled cry and BLU's Pyro whirled around, flamethrower at the ready. The two blinked when the RED Pyro immediately lifted his hands in surrender. All he really was missing was a little white flag to wave about.
"Va-?" The medic had no idea what to do. Tell them to charge? S/he WAS the enemy, that's just what they did. But… perhaps… Medic glared at the other Pyro. "You have sirteen seconds before vee rend you apart, schweinhund!"
The pyro lifted his/her hand, and proceeded to remove the mask. Everyone cringed and waited for the woman to appear.
The three gaped when they saw that a woman didn't appear. RED's Pyro was male. How could a regiment of all women recruit a MAN for their pyro? "¡Hola, Amigos!"
"Vat is ZIS!?" Medic screeched.
The pyro seemed surprised at his outburst, and tucked his helmet under his arm. "¿Que te pasa, Doctor?"
"Yer a MAN!" Engineer shouted, pointing at the pyro. "A MALE. Not a woman!"
"¿Si?"
"Zat… doezn't make any sense!" Suddenly, realization dawned on Medic and Engineer, and they turned to each other. If this guy was from an all female regiment, then… They turned ever so slowly to their own BLU Pyro, who suddenly felt as if someone had trotted over his/her grave. S/he turned around and stared at the two as if to ask What!?
"Va-Vatever. It dozen't matter. Give us vahn good reason vhy vee should not tear you apart."
"Oh, right." The pyro nodded lightly and began to think for a moment. "Yes, well, I'm not really harmful to you at all, really. I don't plan on killing any of you…"
"Vahn doez not need a 'plan' to do zinks…"
"Oh yeah, and I saved your Spy when he was chased down here."
There were immediate mixed reactions. Medic looked relieved of this person's friendliness, as he had saved the German's friend, but Engineer frowned at the thought that this guy saved a sapper of sentries. Of course, BLU's Spy never sapped HIS sentries, but he sure threatened it, which was just as bad!
"If… you helped our Zpy… zo zat vas vhy he vanted uz down here…"
"Shoulda known some RED'LL be goin' 'round savin' worthless piles 'o horse manure!" Engineer scoffed.
"Vell? You vill not attack uz if vee build down here?"
The male pyro shrugged. "By this point, I could care less about anything. I really should have left a long time ago."
Engineer made a grumble about "Why doncha?" as he shoved past the pyro, purposefully shoving him against a wall, and setting down to build a dispenser.
"Is there something wrong with him?" RED's Pyro asked. Both BLU's Pyro and Medic shrugged, but the two got him standing again. The man in red brushed himself off lightly and reapplied his helmet. He then gave the two a thumbs up and a "Mmph!"
"You're velcome," Medic said, which was akin to BLU Pyro's "Mmphmmph."
There was silence for a moment as the three moved to watch Engineer work. He muttered to them about doing something to "make themselves useful", so BLU's pyro stood to help him. He wouldn't let RED's Pyro near his stuff, however, so the pyro in red and the doctor in blue soon found themselves sitting next to each other and attempting to start some awkward conversation every now and then.
"So… uhm… vhy are you down here?"
"Mmphphmmph."
"I zee. And you do nozink about it?"
The pyro gave him a look.
"Right. Vell zen, iz zere a reazon you are helpink us? You are… not BLU…"
Pyro looked thoughtful, and he shrugged, looking at the floor. "Mmphphmmph mmphmph phphmm."
Medic blinked incredulously. "Vat?"
Pyro sighed and repeated what he said. "Mmphphmmph mmphmph phphmm."
"Don't lissen ta 'im! 'e's a RED!"
Medic ignored the engineer and scratched his stubble in thought. "Zo… you vill be ztayink down here then?" The pyro shrugged. "Vell… vhat to do vit you; vee can't jast leave you here…"
BLU's Pyro looked at the two silently, and then suddenly spoke up in his/her jumbled language. "…Mmphphph Mmmmmmph…?"
S/he nearly dropped his/her work when Engineer did a double take and yelled at him/her. "What in TARNATION you talkin' 'bout, Pyro!?"
"Mmph?"
Medic blinked, turned to look at the pyro in red, and he looked back up at the Texan. "Vat iz zee problem? He iz a man."
Engineer turned to the doctor with a look of disgust. "He's a RED."
"Vell, zat izn't zee point."
BLU's Pyro placed his/her work on the floor and went to stand next to Medic. The Texan flailed mightily. Apparently, he wasn't absolutely sure these were the real Medic and Pyro he left with a moment ago. "What kinda nutjob thinks it's okay fer a RED ta run with a BLU?"
"Zee vhan zat seez he iz not really vhan of zem."
"Mmphph." BLU's Pyro said simply, arms crossed.
"Ya… yall're nuts!" The engineer grumbled righteously as he hunkered down in his new, tiny base. "Ya'll do whatever ya want. When that darned fool kills ya'll, I'll be down here laughin'."
Medic frowned and scratched his stubble. "Vell, vee shall zee, ja?" The BLU Pyro extended his/her gloved hand, and the German accepted it. He was soon hefted to his feet, and the two looked down at RED's Pyro. He looked up at them, and they stared at each other for a while. Finally, the RED sighed and pulled himself up. It appeared that while they trusted him not to kill them immediately, they still weren't really partnering up.
"Mmph?" the pyro in red asked.
The other two nodded. "Mmph!"
The entire group jumped when everyone heard the sudden ringing that reverberated through the sewers. Everyone looked up as if it came from the ceiling, and RED's Pyro froze where he stood. No… it couldn't be… "Mm, Fffffffffff…"
