Caretaker

Three Noah's and a Science Lab.

"Her birthday's tomorrow."

"Well, go see her then. I bet she's working in her lab like always."

"Yes, we're going to have a great chat tomorrow."

The golden-haired Noah stops in front of laboratory 134 and knocks. There's a sudden sound of crashing, cursing and a laugh. The door opens fast, and there stands Matt Kamelot. His eyes widen whilst Caretaker's do as well.

"You!" they exclaim simultaneously.

"Why are you here?" Matt asks quietly.

"I'm visiting my sis-Selena for her birthday. Libya wanted me to fill in for her. Why are you here?" Caretaker asks as she points at him.

"Visiting also, but for a different reason," Matt answers. They stare at each other momentarily. He then steps aside and lets her in. They walk through the building and end near a certain girl's lab.

"Hey, Matt, I heard you fall from the the debris leftover," Selena laughs whilst glancing up at him.

"Ha ha, you're very funny. Say, there's someone here to see you," Matt says. He steps aside, and Caretaker is seen holding her hand in her pocket. Selena's face falls immediately.

"What- okay it's not what it-"

"Save it, I already know who you are," Caretaker says as she holds up her hand. Matt is confused.

"What's going on? Does she know that-"

"Yes, she knows I'm Gabrielle. Tell me, have you looked through your records?" Selena asks as she walks over to the two.

"I did, and what I found was quite the shocker," Caretaker answers as she sits at the island counter. She notices something sticking out of Matt's pocket, and grabs it. It appears to be candy. She tosses it to Gabby. "Here, happy birthday."

"Thanks!" Gabby says as she catches it. Matt's eyes widen angrily.

"Where the hell did you get that?" he whispers over to Caretaker.

"I stole it from your pocket," she says back nonchalantly. Matt checks his pockets for his bag; it's gone. He points his finger at her.

"You-"

"Say Matt," Gabby says with mouthful of candy. "Why does this bag say your name on it?"

"Because it was mine in the first place," he answers as he glares towards Caretaker at the same time. She ignores him.

"Really? You've been here for three minutes and already you're stealing from him," Gabby says with admiration. "Well played."

"So what's this thing between you two? You look like you want to kill each other," Matt says as he sits too.

"Well, let's see, I asked her to do something and she did. That's all," Gabby says with a shrug. Matt frowns.

"I meant why are you two connected?" he asks annoyed.

"That's between me and her, and it doesn't involve anyone else," Caretaker says whilst glaring towards Gabby.

"Matt, why don't you grab me something," Gabby says turning towards the Noah man.

"Sure, what is it?" he asks.

"I need you to go down to Level 2, and grab me a chemical called Hydraclic. It's clear, so it might be a bit hard to find. Can you do that for me?" Gabby asks. Matt shrugs.

"Sure, why not?" Matt says as he exits the room. They both wait until he's out of ear shot.

"All right, what do you know?" Gabby asks quickly.

"You're my sister, that's why we're connected," Caretaker answers quietly.

"My God, no wonder I feel merciful towards you, I'm your sister. It all makes sense now. . ."

"That's not all, I'm upset that you knew we were headed towards the castle and didn't even mention the fact that you were a Noah?"

"Well, how would Allen react if he found out I was a Noah? More importantly, your sister?"

"We have to keep this a secret to everyone else. If anyone finds out we're related, things will get ugly."

"Agreed." They stand there for a moment.

"You know, for a Noah his strength, he seemed quite easy to fight," Caretaker says randomly. Gabby laughs.

"He was only testing you," she says. "I asked him to test your new powers, so that's why he was so easy to fight."

"Testing me?" Caretaker asks. "Well, he did seem to be toying with me. Though I did let him hit me once since I was jumping around a bit."

"You let him hit you? With which arm?"

"The left." Gabby winces.

"You're so lucky you weren't killed."

"Why's that?"

"Ask him, he's coming right now." Just as Gabby mentioned his name, Matt walks in with the chemical in hand.

"This it?" he says whilst handing the vile towards the scientist. She takes it reluctantly.

"Yes, this is it. Thank you, Matt. We were talking about you by the way," says Selena as she opens up the tube.

"You were?"

"About your left arm, she said that I was lucky to be alive. Psh, but I can take you. Let's see how hard it is," Caretaker punches Matt's left arm and she shouts. Her hand has broken. Matt stands there with his arms crossed as though nothing happened. He grins.

"No, no you can't. You must have punched pretty hard for your hand to break," he mocks as he grins mischievously. She glares towards him.

"What's up with your arm," Caretaker asks whilst clenching her healing hand. He rolls up his sleeve, and a blackish red arm is revealed. Seals cover it, but you can still see the original color whilst a clear crystal displays on top of his hand.

"General Sokalo had cursed my arm. Now it's innocence," Matt explains. He rolls down his sleeve. Caretaker was about to speak, but is interrupted by Gabby.

"Yes!" she exclaims. "If I mix these two together, I'll finally be able to understand what this chemical does!"

"Great," Caretaker mumbles with boredom. Gabby pours the liquid into another chemical, and stares at it. It soon starts to bubble miraculously. "Is it suppose to do that?"

"No," Gabby mutters. "I thought this was suppose to be the right chemi- Oh no." The bubbles enlarge as they start to spark. A sudden explosion occurs. Matt is undamaged since he raised a wall of rock to protect himself. Gabby is drenched in smoke as some of her hair is on fire. She quickly puts it out with her fingers. Caretaker received most of the explosion since her back was turned. Her hair golden brown hair now reaches to her shoulders, and rise slowly towards the back. Matt starts laughing at them, but stops when a sudden pain reaches his foot. Caretaker stepped on it hard. Her hair feels lighter, as though it were shortened. She reaches for it to find that it has been burned from the explosion.

"Gabrielle Kinn, what have you done to my hair!" Caretaker yells angrily as she feels her now shortened hair.

"Okay, I know this is bad, but it'll grow back!" Gabby assures as she holds her hand up. "In about two years or so?"

"I'm going to kill you!" Caretaker growls. She instantly tries grabbing onto Gabby behind the counter but she runs off. She follows pursuit not long after. Matt shakes his head in laughter and disappointment.

"What a wonderful day off," he mutters to himself.

Oh snap! Gabby and Caretaker have to keep their little "family" secret to themselves now. Wonder what'll happen next? Well, I'm taking a break from revising again, sorry. I've got a lot happening right now, and I need a break from revising. Hope you enjoy the newer chapters so far! I am.
