Married: Chapter 3: The day after
The next morning the newlyweds were awoken from their slumber by the sound of their digital alarm clock. Shadow sighed as he rolled out of his lover's embrace and sat up. The alarm clock read 6 am. It was time for them to get up and get ready to go to work.
He pushed himself up from the bed while she stretched her muscles and yawned. Rouge opened her eyes and watched her husband pull on his usual attire; His socks, hovershoes and gloves.
"Do we have to get up? Why don't we just call in sick?" Rouge suggested, but Shadow knew it couldn't be done.
"Sure!" Shadow agreed without a second thought. Rouge was about to jump up in joy and hug her hedgehog for agreeing to her plan, but she knew him to well. Something must be up.
"Just one problem, though. I can't get sick and the Commander knows that." Shadow said and turned back her. Rouge groaned and got up from the bed aswell. There was no fun in staying home 'sick' with your new husband if your husband couldn't stay at home with you.
She walked over to the closet and searched through the row of clothes until she came across her skin tight uniform. She took it and walked into the bathroom. It took her about half an hour before she left it. She had been busy with a quick shower, putting on her make-up, brushing her teeth and dressing up.
Shadow had been keeping himself busy downstairs. He had set up the table and prepared some breakfast for the two of them. It wasn't smart to start the day without breakfast, after all. And even though he was the Ultimate Lifeform, he still needed to eat like anybody else. His body only allowed him to survive longer than a regular mobian if he were to starve.
Rouge made her way down the stairs and into the livingroom. The livingroom was a pretty large room. It was a livingroom and a dining room in one. Rouge walked over to the table and sat down on her usual spot to wait for her breakfast.
The ebony hedgehog walked into the room and placed a plate in front of her before placing one in front of his seat and sitting down on his chair.
It didn't take long before the two of them devoured their meal and quickly washed the dishes. To save some time, Shadow decided it was best to take an alternative way to get to their job in time. So he took his wife by her waist and uttered the words 'Chaos Control', teleporting the two of them to the G.U.N base.
Once they arrived and the green light of the Chaos Control vanished, they made their way inside the base and checked in at the front desk, otherwise it would seem as if they hadn't been there at all.
After making sure they were checked in, the two mobians made their way into the briefing room.
That room wasn't anything special. It had a bunch of chairs, a desk, a beamer and a white board on the wall. Nothing out of the ordinairy. It looked almost exactly like a classroom. Only even less colourful and used for soldiers instead of students.
On their way to the briefing room they came across Omega, who was training his aim in the gym. The newlyweds walked into the room, wanting to say something to their friend before resuming their way to their destination, but the robot's scanners had already picked up on their presence before they could say a word.
"Shadow and Rouge. I have heard the news about your marriage and i must congratulate you." The large robot said as he turned towards the two mobians. This robot wasn't like any other. He had a personality and could make choises on his own. Although, it wasn't known if he could feel any emotions at all.
"Aww, well isn't it sweet of you to congratulate us, hun." Rouge told her robotic teammate in a teasing manner.
Shadow nodded in agreement, although, he wouldn't quite put it like that.
"Shadow and Rouge, you must leave. The Commander is expecting you." The robotic voice said.
"And that is exactly where we were headed. We will see you later, Omega." The hedgehog said and made his way out of the gym.
"Bye~" Rouge said with her usual seductive and teasing voice before she flew out of the gym and followed her husband down the hall.
Once they reached the briefing room, Shadow and Rouge walked inside and saw the Commander already sitting behind the desk waiting for them.
"About time you two got here." The Commander said and stood up from his chair. His mismatched eyes following their forms as they took a seat on one of the many chairs in the room.
"A mission for us, Commander?" The ebony hedgehog asked as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Yes. It seems like there has been some suspicious activity down in the abandoned part of the industrial district." The grey haired human said as he stood up from his seat behind the desk and turned towards the white screen.
A computer technician, who had been quietly standing next to the screen, turned the beamer on with a single push of a button on the remote control she held. On the screen appeared a short powerpoint. It was designed under a timelimit of two to five minutes. It's purpose was to give these two G.U.N agents the information they needed for their mission.
"A well-known gang of criminals have been spotted in this area. They are famous for their spy work and they had been after information that was possessed for quite some time now." The Commander said. Photographs of the gang came up on the screen behind him.
"Not to long ago our base was infiltrated by them and whatever information they were after, they got it. I need you two to go to the factory they are hiding at and get it back. Who knows what they could do with this information. Dismissed." He said, sending the duo of mobians on their way.
The two stood up from their seats and made their way out of the briefing room, but Shadow turned on his heels and walked back to his superior.
"Yes, Shadow?" The human said. He didn't need to look at the hedgehog to know who had approached him.
"You see, Commander, Rouge and i got married yesterday and-" Shadow started, but he never got to finished his sentence. The other knew what he was after. He had gotten married too when he was younger.
"So i've heard. Congratulations to the two of you, but i don't think that is the reason why you approached me with this." He said, rudely interupting the hedgehog in the middle of his sentence.
"Well, i was wondering if we could take a few weeks off for our honeymoon." Shadow requested hopefully.
When they had been busy to prepare for the wedding, Rouge had once told him how much it would mean for her if they went on a honeymoon together. The hedgehog didn't know the exact details, but he learned it meant that the newlyweds go on a trip together to celebrate their marriage and to spend some time together without family, friends or work to interfere.
The Commander thought about it for a moment before giving the hedgehog his final answer.
"Sure. But don't take too long. You and Rouge are my best agents, i can't miss you two for too long. Dismissed." The elderly man said, agreeing to Shadow's request to have a few weeks off from next week on.
"Thank you. We appreciate it." Shadow quickly said before leaving the room and following Rouge down the hallway.
