So...as any Holix or any sort of Generator Rex fans who have lurked the internet this past day know...there was a very fun development in Holiday and Six's relationship in one of the newest episodes. Only not really.

And it was magnificent, I tell you. No legit spoilers for those who don't wanna hear it; but honestly why would you even click if you didn't wanna hear it ugh.

I have nothing more to say. I didn't want to be the first one to fic some post-Mind Games and I'm not so I'm happy.

Science and Faith

Episode: Mind Games

Humiliated! She was completely, totally, utterly humiliated. Not outwardly - and no one knew besides her and that...that thing! But...just that it happened. That she let it happen. That was humiliating enough.

She would've said it was ridiculous, but that just reminded her of his frustrating taunts. They were ridiculous, not her! She wasn't just some dainty princess waiting for her shining prince to turn around and confess his love! No, she was a doctor...a scientist! She was working on a cure for nanites so she could save the world.

No, no, she wasn't waiting for Six. And she wasn't going to instigate anything. She was just not focused on that...sort of thing.

Stupid Scarecrow.

...but she couldn't help but blush at the thought of what she'd said to Six. She had, honestly, considered just walking up to him and kissing him there in Rex's room, and was now so glad she didn't. She would've made a fool out of herself in front of Six, then, too! And how would he have reacted anyway?

Well, she doubted he would outright reject her...he'd just be...confused, probably. Maybe even...

Holiday sighed. She didn't know. She didn't want to know. She was busy focusing on the fact that all of their data was in Black Knight's hands. That wasn't good, not at all.

Maybe she could get some info out of that Scarecrow creep. Perhaps he'd be more cooperative knowing that he wouldn't be getting paid by Black Knight anytime soon. Rebecca smirked; she wouldn't mind beating the information out of him, though.

As she reached the end of the corridor, she overheard some voices. One was definitely Scarecrow. The other was...

...Six? She peeked around the corner to see Six violently glaring at the EVO through his containment shield.

"What'd you do to her, you sick freak?" Six questioned, obviously (from his tone) wishing he could slice the answers out of him.

Scarecrow laughed demonically. "Ehaha! Apparently more than you've ever done, Agent!" The sugary tone at the end of his answer sent chills down Holiday's spine and she saw Six flinch. Did that bother him? "Aw, don't be jealous, Old Man! She seemed to enjoy it plenty when she thought it was you!" He laughed some more and Holiday blushed. Should she jump in and interrupt before Scarecrow said too much or should she just leave and pretend she was never there?

Six growled and pulled out one of his magna-blades; even though he wouldn't be able to touch the EVO without Holiday, Knight, or Rex opening the container, he couldn't keep himself from wanting to feel more powerful and intimidating. "What. Did. You. Do?"

She opted for leaving. Six looked livid, and he'd just get awkward if he knew she was there. As she took one final look at the two of them, Scarecrow's eyes landed on her own, and she blanched; pulling her head back around the corner.

The creep laughed loudly again. "Why don't you ask her yourself?" he mocked, pointing to the corridor Holiday had just wisped around.

Six glared at the hallway, then turned back to Scarecrow and held a blade up threateningly. "I'll be back." He put his magna-blades back into their holsters and sprinted after the doctor.

Scarecrow laughed again. "I'm sure you will!" These two were complicated and interesting; fun to watch. Fun to mess with.

She had hurried off before hearing Six's response. Hopefully he decided to stay and torture Scarecrow some more, and he wasn't trying to-

"Holiday."

Damn.

She stopped suddenly, trying to make it seem like she hadn't been caught red-handed. Flattening her hair, the doctor turned around gracefully and swept a hand through her bangs. "Six! Hi!" She smiled sweetly.

He cocked an eyebrow, but quickly let it go and thought about how to approach the subject. He wanted to know what happened. Though he was already relatively positive of what occurred, he just wanted to hear it from her that they didn't do...more. He didn't want her to be awkward or embarrassed around him because of what that stupid EVO had done.

And...more than that, he didn't want to think that Holiday did anything of the sort with such a disgusting creature. Even just the kiss was bad enough to think about.

She shrugged off the smile, feeling her cheeks turning slightly pink. The conversation she had with him...after kissing Scarecrow, was coming back to her. "Did you, um...need something?"

Subtle or blunt? Subtle or blunt? Subtle or blunt?

"What did you mean when you said '...and that's for the kiss'?"

...blunt was more his style these days.

Holiday flinched and her cheeks felt suddenly hotter, much to her annoyance. She hadn't expected that so...so quickly. "Well, ah, pretty much exactly how it sounds..."

Six glared behind his sunglasses. He figured she'd be embarrassed, but he was desperate for information. "And that's all...right?" He was hesitant in asking, not knowing how she'd react.

Holiday raised an eyebrow. "Um, yes? What else would he-" She stopped mid-sentence and blinked twice before letting a reddish color consume her entire face. "Of course! Oh, disgusting! Absolutely not!" she finished, sounding completely scandalized by Six's question.

The agent hadn't expected her to sound so angry, but he was still satisfied with the answer.

"I mean, really! Just because I thought it was you doesn't mean I'd let him-" Once again she cut herself off mid-sentence. Was it possible to turn any redder? She turned away from him and covered her face with a hand. Clearing her throat obnoxiously, the doctor started walking away. "If we're done here, I'll be off to bed. Good night, Agent Six."

He thought about stopping her, but of course: he didn't. What she'd let slip was still processing. Though he knew it; he had been pretty positive about her feelings for a while and she...should know of his (though he tried his best not to let it show); hearing her say something like that was just...odd. In a good way.

Though he wasn't about to act on his feelings anytime soon and he doubted she would, either; they were both far too busy; it was somewhat relieving to hear her say it. It was good to know Scarecrow hadn't completely gotten to them like he almost had to Rex.

Six sighed. He needed a punching bag. And John Scarecrow sounded like the perfect target...
