Thank you so much for actually continuing to the second chapter! Please comment.
"Good choice, as always, B" Veronica smiled. Betty thought she saw a hint of jealousy in Cheryl's eye, but the redheaded girl masked it just as quickly as it came.
"Thanks, V. Arch, go tell your men we're expecting company. Kevin, I need you and your guys to monitor the position of the Wyrm. Dilton, keep trying to figure out the transmission. Ladies, we need to figure out our game plan. Let's do this," Betty commanded. Archie and Kevin left the room. The girls all looked to Dilton.
Cheryl lost it again. "I swear to the God, Doiley, if you don't figure out your s-"
"Got it! Transmission should resume in three, two, one, now" Dilton said as the screen flickered to life. Everyone in the room found themselves looking at a young man with dark hair falling into his face, a silver crown, and a slightly menacing smile.
"Hello. I am Captain Jughead Jones the Third" the man said. Cheryl scoffed. "Is there a problem, miss?" Jughead asked.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't take you seriously in that hat, Crown Boy. Or with that name. Honestly, all of you is way too much, and not in a good way, like me. I'm Cheryl Blossom, by the way. Not that you need to know, Emo Disney Princess."
The rest of the River Vixen crew stood still, their mouths agape. Jughead remained composed.
"I'm glad you shared your opinion, Sharon."
"It's Cheryl, Serpent Scumbag."
"Cheryl! What the hell is wrong with you? Stop being such a bitch. Leave," Veronica finally spoke up. Cheryl opened her mouth to argue, but decided to march out of the room in a huff, red stilettos clicking on the steel floor.
"I am so sorry about Miss Blossom's behavior, Captain Jones. My name is Captain Betty Cooper. I hope you are still willing to talk to us" Betty apologized.
Jughead smiled. "Don't worry about it, Betty. I'm sure we will still manage to become close friends."
And something about the way that the dark-haired man said that made Betty think he was very, very wrong.
