I started to write this after I watched episode 4 so if you haven't watched it yet this could prove to have some spoilers.
Holiday
I stretched my arms up above my head and turned my neck in a circle. I had just stopped working about 45 minutes to an hour ago and I have already eaten and am currently reading a romantic novel (an: this book isn't real, I mean it could be but I just made it up from the top of my head). I placed my elbow in the table and let my head sit on top of my hand. This is a really good book. I sigh, almost romantically, as the main male protagonist, Jason, wrapped his arms around the waist of the main female protagonist, Alexis, who really isn't a good guy in the book. She works an agent who was sent to kill Jason who too is an agent. She got caught by him and they started to hang out together and they started to fall in love. I turned the page and sighed once more as Jason kissed Alexis for the first time.
"Holiday." A voice came up from behind me.
"Oh my god!" I yell as I jump up, the book falling to the ground. I turn and see Six. I panted. "Could… Could you maybe not do that again please?" I groan silently. "You scared the living daylights out of me."
"Sorry." He bent and picked up my book for me. "'Agents of the Secret Kind'." He handed me the book once reading the title.
"Yeah." I said as I took it from him. "It's pretty good. The main characters are both agents from opposite sides that fall in love. It's like a modern 'Romeo and Juliet' though I hope Jason and Alexis don't die. That would ruin everything for me."
He looked at the book in my hand. "I didn't take you for the romantic novelist type."
"Well," I say as I open the book and try to find my page, "maybe I'm an agent of a secret kind." I giggle at the pun and find my page. I insert my bookmark in the book, close it and place it on my desk. "So what can I help you for?"
"Tell me more about Elise's nanites."
"Well I can't tell you much from what I have told you before only that she has more control over her nanites than Rex but that's probably because she has an even more greater insight on the working of them more than I do." I paused. "She could be the one Six. She could find the cure for all curable Evos." In the back of my mind I thought of my sister, an incurable Evo.
"Let's hope so." Then he left.
I sigh and sit back in my chair. I look at my book. "Oh what the heck." I open the book and decide to read even though I don't feel like it.
Elise
Ever since I got how both Rex's and mine's nanites work I haven't stopped taking notes of the working process of our nanites. The most noticeable thing is that I have more control. I made a comment a long while ago that was 'no duh, girls are more mature and controlling than guys' which is sort of the truth. I was really interested in my nanites more though. I tried not to spend all my time on me but I couldn't. The way my nanites are evenly spread throughout my body is amazing. Never once have I seen this happen before, but then again, I have devoted every waking moment and money for the past 7 years on nanites and a cure. I heard a knock on the door. "Come in." I said as I turned my chair around to look at the door.
The door opened and Noah stood in the doorway, a tray with food in his hands. "Have you eaten anything lately?" I shook my head. "Ok good. I didn't want this food to go to waste." He walked in then and placed the tray besides my computer. He looked at the screen. "Still working I see?"
"Yeah." I sighed and placed my hands behind my head. I also tilted backwards and the backrest tilted backwards as well making a very comfortable stretching position. "Haven't stopped since we got back from fighting that Evo."
"That can't be healthy." He leaned on the desk and looked down at me. His green eyes looking down at me. My heart stupidly skipped a beat. Damn my childish fantasies of love.
I shrug and reach for the tray. I take a forkful of macaroni and take a bite. After swallowing I look up at him, a smile on my face. "This is delicious. Thanks for bring me this food. If you hadn't come I knew I would go to bed without eating anything."
He laughed goofily and rubbed the back of his head. "I don't want you to starve."
I giggle and took another bite. "I can't believe I'm such a workaholic. I'm only 17 years old."
"You shouldn't beat yourself up for it though Elise. Your work is important." He said in a serious tone. I only nod, not trusting my words. I then take another bite of macaroni and stare at the looped recording of my nanites. I practically have the whole video memorized by now. Noah sighed and I looked up at him. "I should get going." He quietly said. He pushed himself off the desk. "I'll see you tomorrow then."
"All right. See you tomorrow." He nodded and left my room. I drop the fork in the food and push the tray away. God, not working with the information directly in front of me is brutal. True the food is good, like really good, but I just can't stand staring at that video without doing anything at all. After a while the food getting cold on my desk was forgotten.
-*- Abysus -*-
Regular
Van Kleiss sat in his throne like chair as he reassessed what Biowulf has told him. "So Providence has a new Evo. A centaur Evo."
"Yes Van Kleiss." Biowulf confirmed.
Kleiss tapped his chin with a long finger. He looked over Breech and Skalamander with his gaze landing on Circe. Her head moved up quickly when his gaze stopped on her. "Circe, I want you to find out about this Evo."
"How do you expect me to do that?" She asked as she looked at Kleiss.
"Simple. Through our good friend Rex." Kleiss smiled evilly and folded his fingers together.
The next day started stormy and unhappy. Noah rushed underneath the awning of the front door of Providence. He pushed his jacket down from above his head. "It just had to rain this morning." He muttered before pressing a button by the door. The camera above him looked down and in a few moments the door opened. Noah rushed in and the door closed behind him. Noah then started to walk towards Rex's room. He knocked on the door. "Hey Rex. You in there?"
"Yeah. Come in." Rex's voice called out from behind the door. Noah walked into the room. "Hey Noah. What's up?"
"Oh, nothing."
Bobo jumped off from his bed and landed feet before Noah. "I bet he wants to see his girlfriend!" He teased and laughed.
"Seriously, stop." Noah shook his head. "Besides, I'm here to hang out with you guys today. I heard that Holiday and Elise will be all day working."
"Really?" Bobo smile grew larger. "So now you're stalking Elise?" He chuckled. "Dude you are hooked."
Rex laughed and Noah groaned. "Are we going or not?"
"Yeah." Rex said as he jumped up. "Let's go practice basketball in the gym so next time we play Elise we'll be a bit more prepared." The boys left the room and started their way towards the gym, all three of them talking about a possible play that might work against Elise.
Once they reached the gym Noah grabbed a ball and started to spin it around his pointer finger. "So, how are you and Circe?"
Rex stopped in his tracks. Bobo shot Noah a 'why the hell did you ask that' look but Noah shrugged it off. "I haven't talked to her since last month when the Pack started to go into hiding." Rex shrugged off his jacket and threw it onto a chair. He turned and walked into the court. "I just hope she's all right."
Noah let the basketball drop off from his finger; he caught the ball in both his hands before it dropped to the ground. "Yeah… Sorry I asked dude. I was just wondering."
"Nah." Rex gave him a thumbs up. "I'm fine. Let's play ball."
"Okay…" Noah muttered before throwing the ball to Rex. Bobo on the other hand went and sat down on the wall.
-*- Lab -*-
Elise put on her very own lab coat before walking towards Holiday. "So what do we have planned for today?"
"I want to go over the molecular structure of the nanites and the relationship between them and the blood of their host." She looked up from her microscope.
"Sounds great. Do I get my own microscope?"
"Yes, there's one in your space down there." Holiday pointed to a clean empty space with a microscope and glass slides. It was about 2 yards away from Holiday's spot.
"Awesome." Elise said truthfully as she walked down there. As she started to prepare a slide she started to talk again. "Okay so listen. I was up practically all night contrasting my nanites to Rex's and I must say, the differences just keep on listing."
"Yes, I noticed that there was going to be many differences the moment I saw your nanites." Holiday said, her eyes looking at a slide of a random Evos' nanites.
"Yeah well, his nanites have healing ability and mines have a stabilizing ability, at least that's what I'm calling it."
"That sounds like a reasonable way to call it."
"Thanks." Elise smiled as she placed her eyes on the eyepiece. A moment of silence passed before Elise spoke again. "What can you tell me about the boys?"
Holiday looked up. "The boys?"
"Yeah. Six, Rex, Bobo and Noah."
Holiday smiled softly. "Especially Noah huh?" Holiday giggled and Elise didn't answer but Holiday could see a small tint of pink on the 17 year olds checks. "Well, Noah was hired by White Knight, our leader, to keep an eye on Rex and make sure he doesn't go out of hand but that failed and Noah eventually quit as being Rex's babysitter and became just Rex's best friend. Bobo of course is an Evo with a case of humor, or at least he tries to be funny, Rex is viewed mostly as a weapon around here, only a few people, Noah and I included, think more of him. Six, well he… um."
Elise looked up from her microscope. "He is…?"
Six was walking on the gangplank at the moment when he heard the two girls talk about him. He stopped and placed his hands on the railings. Holiday clicked her tongue. "Hold on, I'm thinking."
Elise laughed. "Oh come on. He can't be that bad."
"And he isn't." Holiday said in all seriousness. "He just comes off as cold at first but he's really a kind and caring person who wants the well beings of others. I also believe that he doesn't see Rex as a weapon like he used to when Rex first came to us."
"Ooh…" Elise said adding a short giggle. "Someone wants somebody else to say that he loves her." She laughed then, holding on to the counter for support. Holiday groaned and turned her face away to try and hide the blush creeping onto her face. Six's grip on the railing tightened. He held it so tightly that his hands started to shake. Elise giggled. "I'm just messing with you Holiday, even though it's obvious that it is true."
Holiday looked at Elise. "Not too obvious?" Six turned and left, quickly leaving the room.
"Nah, you're fine." Holiday sighed softly. Before Holiday could turn and go back to her work Elise spoke up. "How did Rex get here?"
Holiday looked at Elise who was now completely up right. "On the year of the explosion Rex started to wander aimlessly around the countryside, all that was destroyed and inhabitable. Then he was found on the near brink of death by Providence and he's been with us ever since with no remembrance of his past."
"Wow. That must be tough. Does anyone know what happened to his family?"
Holiday shook his head. "That's why we're hoping that Rex can remember but it's been 7 years and not even a speck of memory has returned to him."
Elise sighed sadly. "Poor Rex. I don't know if I could live sadly if I didn't know my past, my family."
"Yes, I understand." Holiday tapped her fingers on top of the counter. "What about you? How's your family like?"
"Well, my sister Amelle is so sweet. She always says that she wants to be just like me. My older brother, Michael, he's very protective of my sister and I. Mother is kind, she only wants what's best for her children and father… Father is conservative."
"What do you mean 'conservative'?" Holiday inquired.
Elise looked at the doctor. Then Rex, Noah and Bobo walked into the lab. "Hey you two." Rex greeted as the three boys neared them.
"Hey Holiday, Elise." Noah too greeted.
"Hello boys." Holiday answered. "What are you up to today?"
"Nothin' in particular." Bobo answered. "Noah just kicked Rex's butt at basketball, again."
Rex chuckled. "Hey, this time it was neck-to-neck. It wasn't a total kick in the butt."
Noah smiled. "Yeah. Sooner or later you could win Rex."
"That's gonna come very soon so prepare yourself." Rex threatened.
Elise shook her head and smiled. "It really wouldn't matter. I will beat you no matter what." The boys groaned and Elise laughed. "Well boys, I hate to kick you out so soon but we do need to get back t work."
"Whatever." Rex said as he waved them off. "You stay here and work, we'll be out having some fun." Rex then started to walk away, Bobo right behind him.
Noah waved. "See you later then." Elise nodded once and then he turned and left.
Holiday sighed. "Well, best get back to work."
"Yeah." Elise agreed. The two turned and looked into their individual microscopes.
Sorry it took so long. The computer had a spaz and decided not to work so I didn't have a computer for a week and a half. Anyways, please review.
