Chapter 2 "More in Common"
"She's with me. Actually, did you know something about 'Beta Nanite'?", Rex said.
"Why are you suddenly into these things? And yes I do, but there's no proof that that nanite exists.", Holiday looked concerned.
"Actually Holiday, you're looking at 'The Proof'.", Rex smiled.
"Her?", Holiday turned to Nathan.
"Hey.", Nathan smiled. "If you don't mind, can I-"
"Examine me? Take a closer look? Just be careful.", Nathan walked in Holiday's lab like she knows what she's doing. "Okay?", Holiday stared.
After examination..
"Hmm.. Interesting. No parents?", Holiday asked. "That's a mystery", Nathan closed her eyes, sighing. "Oh, you could go out now, like say, have some fun.", Holiday smiled. "Awesome.", Nathan got up and ran into Rex, they both fell down. "Woa woa slow down Nath, where to?", Rex got up. "Fun. Where else?", Nathan cleaned her pants. "How about some greasy food?", Rex raised his eyebrows. "Race you there!", Nathan smiled. This time she's the door breaker.
"We're here.", Rex turned his feet back. "Okay Rex, you win.", Nathan said. "Of course I did!", Rex smiled, putting his thumb towards his chest. "Oh God, Rex you're such a dork.", Nathan laughed. "I'm not!", Rex said.
"Keep an eye on the girl.", White Knight appeared in front of Six. "Understood.", Six said.
"What's with 'Keep an eye on the girl', Six?", Holiday asked, curious. "That's. Classified.", Six walked out. "I'm authorized to know.", Holiday took a step. "No. You're not.".
"WOO! This is awesome!", Nathan yelled. "YEAH!", Rex yelled too. "I should probably get back somewhere.. If I know where to stay tonight.", Nathan walked away. "You know, you could stay with us.", Rex said. "That would be nice.", Nathan turned back around. The two of them head to the Providence Defect Team.
Rex lead Nathan inside. "Rex, I've to tell you something. Since I've no one else to talk to, except this girl.", Nathan turned sideways and stopped. "What? Who? What is it?", Rex stopped too. "It's a girl named Circe, I've heard Providence got her. They're controlling my best friend! Sorry, I'm just out of control sometimes.", Nathan said. "Circe? Does she have straight black hair with red on it and she's kinda pale?", Rex said. "Rex, you're freaking me out.", Nathan backed away from Rex. "Looks like we've got something else in common. I know her.", Rex said.
"You met her in Cabo Luna? I heard that place rocks!", Nathan said. "It does. Now's time for your story.", Rex said. "Come on, it could wait, I mean El Amor, De La Pasión, El Amor is about to start!", Nathan pointed at the TV. "You like telenovelas?!", Rex said. "Don't be a hater!", Nathan said. "Why would I? I love telenovelas! But seriously, about Circe.", Rex said. "We met in Hong Kong.".
Flashback..
"Hey, you stole that food.", Nathan stood behind Circe.
"And you stole that money.", Circe said.
"Sharp eye."
"I call it bulls eye.", Circe walked away
"Sure, walk away. And in case you're wondering whose money this is, check your pockets."
"Okay, I need those."
"You can steal, you don't need money."
"Yeah right. Wait, are you an EVO?"
"Oh great, now here comes the part where you say I am an 'undesirable'."
"Wait what? No way, why should I call my own kind an 'undesirable'?", Circe smiled. "You should come with us.".
"So that's how you guys met. Interesting.", Rex rubbed his chin. "Yep.", Nathan said.
"But how'd you end up here? And why did you have a guy's name?"
"I came with her, and this is not my real name. It's missing two words. I'll give you a hint, it's I and A."
"That explains it."
"See ya tomorrow. I gotta get going.", Nathan walked out of Rex's place.
"Phew, now's sleep time.", Nathan jumped to her bed.
"Nathan, Nathan. H-help me!", a yell came out of nowhere. "Circe! Is that you? Circ? I'm here!", Nathan searched for Circe, heading cell by cell. "Skwydd! Tuck! Cricket! You guys are here!", Nathan said. "Help us! Please Nathan, we need you, help.", the gang pleaded. A bullet showed out of nowhere. "Ekh, kkh.", Nathan lay, blood everywhere, a bullet shot through her heart.
"Ah!", Nathan woke up. "Circe, I'm not letting you down.". Nathan left, heading somewhere, somewhere she might not know.
"Quiet, quiet, quiet.", Nathan ran out of the Providence Defect Team door. "Where do you think you're going?", Six appeared behind Nathan.
"Why do you care."
"Just asking."
"Obviously you don't trust me. Look, I'm not carrying anything, I just-"
"Kid, you're kinda one of us now. We don't leave anyone alone."
"And that's exactly what I'm trying to do. I'm helping my friends."
"Going to Providence alone isn't gonna help."
"You can't stop me."
"Tomorrow, is going to be fine. Rex will help."
"Yea, but what if I don't want anyone to help?"
"You're crazy. You alone means leaving yourself in danger. That won't help. Tomorrow, we'll go together."
"Sure.", Nathan sighed and head back in. She stopped for a moment and did a little nostalgia. "I promise, I won't leave you alone, Circe.".
