Chapter 5
"Nooo! You can't do thith! You can't lock me up in here!"
"Shut the fuck up Captor, we're all in the same fucking predicament!" Karkat said, glaring at the Gemini who seemed to be glued to the bulletproof window that separated them from the humans that had captured them.
"That'th not true KK, you don't have to hear yourthelf rant!"
Karkat growled and attacked his friend, who just laughed at this and let his friend take him down.
"Shouldn't we get them apart or something?" a man in a blue and white costume asked worried.
"Nah dude, you better just fuckin let them. I'm pretty curous what the fuck is gonna happen anyway."
The man cringed at Dirk's use of language, but didn't say anything about it. Instead, he kept discussing with the other men if they should interfere or not. But before they could get to an agreement, Gamzee gave a loud honk and jumped between the fighting trolls, who quickly cowered away from the highblood.
"You two need to calm your motherfuckin tits bro! motherfuckin chill, slam a faygo, try see the motherfuckin miracles!" the juggalo said grinning, papping both other trolls back to peace.
"Why do you keep babbling about those fucking miracles, you nooksniffing idiot. We all fucking know they're not real!" Karkat grumbled, but his voice lost every edge it possibly had because he had started to purr.
Dirk had to chuckle when Sollux too started purring.
"Y' know, I all up and got my motherfuckin wonderin on if you two motherfuckers aint getting your black on for each other," Gamzee mumbled.
"Fuck no!" the two other trolls shouted in unison, scooting a little further away from each other.
"I can get much better than KK to fill my quadranth," Sollux said smirking.
Karkat glared at him before answering.
"Fuck you, you stupid bulgelicker!"
"That'th the point KK, I don't want to fuck you."
"It's a fucking privilege to have me in one of your worthless fucking quadrants, nooksniffer!" Karkat fumed.
At this point, the man in the blue and white suit had fled the scene, only the man with the eye patch and the man formerly wearing an iron suit in red and gold where still watching the trolls bicker. The latter seemed extremely amused by the nubby horned prisoner's ranting, even if he didn't understand half of it.
"Are you coming onto me?" Sollux asked fake shocked.
"Fuck no! I only hate your sorry ass in a complete fucking platonic way." Karkat retorted. "If there's anyone I'm even remotely black for, it's fucking Strider!"
Karkat immediately turned red when he realized what he had said. He got eve redder when he saw Dirk cocking an eyebrow at him.
"Not you, you bulgeblistering fuckass, the other Strider!" he yelled in an attempt to protect his dignity.
"Aw, missed you too Karkitten."
Everyone quickly turned around to face the voice. They found Dave smirking at the beat red troll. Next to him stood Terezi, cackling like a maniac, a slightly worried Jake and a terrified mayor. The four of them were surrounded by guards. A red-haired woman in a black jumpsuit walked up to the two men watching the trolls and talked to the eye patch man in a hushed voice.
In the meantime, a man in the same kind of black jumpsuit as the woman unlocked the door of the cage and let the new prisoners in.
"Dirk!" Jake yelled and flew his boyfriend around the neck.
Dirk hugged him back in his typical reserved fashion and an almost unnoticeable small smile crept up his face.
"Sup Captor?" Dave said casually extending his fist, which Sollux gladly bumped.
"Hey Dave. Uh, any idea where we are?" the Gemini asked.
"Earth, I guess," Dave answered.
"That's impossible, fuckass, earth got destroyed, remember!" Karkat said.
The conversation had piqued the interest of one of the men, and he quickly jumped in.
"Why would you think that?" he asked curious.
"'cause we saw it happen, ignorant piece of a nookwiffer!" Karkat answered angrily.
"Wait, you mean thith really ith earth?" Sollux asked disbelievingly.
"Yeah," the man said, getting really confused by now. (as if he wasn't already)
"So, either way the meteors didn't turn earth in a fuckin wasteland or this is another version of earth." Dave mumbled.
"A different timeline?" Dirk asked his ecto-brother.
"We're in the Alpha-timeline, but somehow we don't belong here," Dave answered shrugging. He knew just as much about what was going on as everyone else.
Karkat and a few others stared at Dave with horrified expressions.
"You mean we're…"
"Doomed? No." it was Sollux who answered Karkat's question. "If we were, I'd know."
This was followed by a long confused silence from both sides of the glass.
"Then where, and equally important, what are we?" Terezi asked eventually.
Sorry it took so long, I have some trouble making progress in this story. So, to make up to you I uploaded two chapters.
The next chapter will probably take a while too, I'm kinda stuck right now, so any ideas are always welcome!
Also, I know the chapters are really short, I'll try to make them longer. ;)
