Tommy Cavez
Where am I, Tommy thought to himself as he finally came to. He looked around the room he was in. The first thing he looked for was his biometal partner, Model DC, who was laying on a bedside table, apparently inactive at the moment. He continued to look around, his eyes finally resting on two people on a couch, a pink haired girl with her head on the shoulder of a boy with black hair with silver streaks through it, both asleep. (Side Note: yeah, I forgot that detail about Will. But I'm too lazy to fix it.) He tried to move, but was stopped by a fierce pain that went throughout his body, stopping him midway through sitting straight up, causing him to groan and bite his lip. The groan was enough to wake up the boy with silver streaks in his hair, who looked at him.
"You're finally awake, huh," the boy asked. He gently shook the girl beside him, saying, "Hey, Kass. Come on, wake up. Your friend just woke up. Or at least, I'm assuming he just woke up."
The girl stirred slightly, but still slept on, mumbling something incoherent in her sleep. Tommy, on the other hand was looking at the boy. "Did you just say Kass?"
"Yeah," the boy answered, looking at Tommy. "I'm Will."
"Tommy. Tommy Cavez."
"I know. Kass already told us." Will looked Tommy over, taking stock of his injuries. "Boy, you sure went through the ringer. I'm surprised you even survived that."
"Survived what?" Tommy was obviously confused at what Will had just said.
"You don't remember?" Then Will noticed something about Tommy's voice. "Wait. What happened to the accent?"
"Huh?"
"Well, I guess you were under the organization's control. Which means your biometal has some explaining to do. Anyways, you need to get some more rest. You won't be able to move until tomorrow, at the very least." Will stood up, making sure Kass didn't fall to the couch, and stretched his limbs. He gave a grunt of satisfaction, having been on that couch for more than thirteen hours straight. "If you want a book or something, I can try to find something you want."
"I'd rather like to know what you're talking about. What about the organization? And DC? What the hell is going on? And why am I covered in bruises and cuts?"
"Well, to answer your second and last question, DC was taking over your body, most likely when you megamerged."
Will was interrupted by Tommy. "No, that can't be. DC wouldn't do that."
"Yes, he would. Your last question is that as the Desert Mega Man, you called Kass the 'B' word quite frequently. As well as using a strange accent. I'm guessing your partner doesn't speak with a normal accent."
"No, he doesn't. He says it's…well, I'm pretty sure he called it an Australian accent. Whatever or wherever that is. And there is no way I would ever call Kass that word. I've seen what happens to guys who call her that word. It never ends well for them."
"Oh, I know. You shoulda seen what happened to you as the Desert Mega Man when she wasn't in armor." He sat back down, once more propping Kass up and gently putting her head back down on his shoulder. "Let me just say, it wasn't pretty. Anyways, how bout we learn more about each other till Kass wakes up. How long have you known Kass?"
"Let me think…ok, I first met her at the office…then came the organization afterwards…I'd say around two years…maybe more. Around two or three years, really." But Tommy still didn't seem all that sure. "What about you?"
"Close to two months now." Will gave a loving look at Kass, who was still asleep.
"So, uh…you two got something going on or what?"
"Yeah."
"Heh. The boys at the office owe me 10,000."
"What? Why?"
"Eh, doesn't really matter. Can't show my face there anyways. Ya see, we've had this long standing wager. The boys thought that I would be Kass's first boy. I said that she wouldn't."
"Hm. Why's that," Will asked, obviously interested in the answer.
"Because I could never see her as more than just a little sister. But that's history. No need to reflect on it."
"Heh. I suppose that's true. But sometimes, looking towards the past is the only way to stay in the present."
"Yeah, I suppose. Depends on your situation."
"I like how you think. When you get out of the infirmary, I'll take you to Beamer's. Great guy. Tell me, do you like tech?"
"About as much as the next guy. Some people say I go a little overboard with it. I just tell them to shove it and I keep working on my projects."
"Oh, we are definitely going to get along."
Kass began to stir, but kept her eyes closed. "Who are you talking to, sweetie," she said, still in that state between the conscious and unconscious states of the mind.
"I'm talking to your friend. He woke up."
"That's nice," she said, slipping back into unconsciousness. The boys just looked at her.
"Wow. She must really be out of it right now," Tommy said.
"Yeah. Listen, I'm gonna get her into her bed and come back to talk with you some more. I wanna hear about some of these projects you have," Will said, picking up Kass and walking out of the room.
"Yeah, okay," Tommy called after him. He sat there, waiting for Will to come back, when he heard a familiar Australian accent beside him.
"I hate those two so much," DC said, now up and floating beside Tommy. "How can you stand them?"
"I dunno. Maybe the fact that Kass is like a sister and Will is a fellow techie. Now then, how about explaining this whole 'Desert Mega Man' thing."
"Oh. Heh heh. You, uh, you found out about it, huh?"
"Yeah. Start explaining."
"Tom, I'm sorry. I was just following orders."
"Orders that involved hurting Kass and her boyfriend?"
"Yeah. Listen, to the organization, she's a traitor. She ran away and didn't come back. The organization deemed her a threat."
"A threat to who? The organization or the world?"
DC gave a sigh. "Ya know, I never looked at it that way before. From what I've seen, she's actually been helping people around here. But orders are orders."
"And do those orders mean that you have to lie to me? Because from the little bit that Will told me, you took control of me, as well as called Kass the 'B' word. I can't believe you would do such a thing."
"I know, I know. I'm really sorry." DC went quiet for a few seconds, looking around the room. "I'll apologize and from now on, I only work with you. Screw the organization. It isn't worth it to lie to the only friend I've ever known in my life."
"You swear?"
"I swear. And I'll start by apologizing to Kass and Will."
"Please do," Will said, coming back into the room.
"Oh. Will. Right. Listen, I'm sorry for the pain I've caused you and Kass."
"Dude, the only pain you've caused is your own."
"Come on, I'm trying. Cut me some slack."
Will crossed his arms, looking down with his eyes closed. He then opened them, looking straight at DC. "Alright. I believe you. But Kass is going to be hardest to convince. Just remember, in your apology, avoid using the 'B' word whenever possible. Otherwise, you could find yourself flying into a dumpster."
"Right. Good advice."
"Lucky for you, you have a whole day to figure out what you're gonna say. Kass won't be awake till tomorrow. Now then, onto those projects." Will sat down and talked with Tommy about various projects, both his own and Tommy's.
So that's his relation. Another chapter done. Now, you didn't hear this from me, but I'm working on a secret story right now, which I won't reveal until the end of this story. But remember, you didn't hear it from me. Anyways, Gammatron's characters belong to Gammatron, Apapa155's character belong to Apapa155. Please Review.
