1960
Reginald was once again waiting for his wife to return from her job interview, Even after a year she still hasn't made progress, Maybe it's because of her...Attitude or maybe it's because of her resume, But still, no one right in their brain would want to hire someone who even mentioned Working at Mann.Co, So Rosalie was left to take care of the kids, At first her friends helped, But then they managed to find jobs and houses and stuff (Two of them even got married), She felt like she was...Falling behind? She wanted to move on, but, Mann.Co was the only place where she managed to find friends since...well, since she met Reggie and-She didn't wanna lose them, But she also didn't want to stop them from being happy...Were they happy without her? Lost in her thoughts, Rosalie didn't Hear Ronald call for her, "mooooooom, There's someone at the door for you" "Uh-uh, that's nice honey" She nodded, not listening, "Mom, Do I open the door or-" She finally snapped out of it "Door? What door?" "There's someone at the door" "Who is it?" "I don't know!" "Fine, I'll go open it, Go make Randy put his costume on, the play is today" "Umh...About that-" "Ronald, What happened?" "Okay, so don't get mad, But! Randall decided to not go" "What why?" "He said that I was stupid! And that nobody would care because he played a tree!" "Well, nobody would care-" "MOM!" "oh sorry, got sidetracked, Anyway, Go convince your brother while I open the door, okay?" "Yes, mom" Rosalie Reached for the doorknob and pulled, "H-hello? Is this Rosalie Taumathurge?" Asked the young lady behind the door, She didn't look a day after fourteen, " doctor Taumathurge, Who's looking for me?" The kid (She's basically a baby, who are we kidding?) Looked at her uncomfortably and whispered "the administrator" "The-Kid, this better be a joke-" "No-no-no, Ma'am, The Administrator has personally required that you and your team show up at a facility to r-receice your last p-paycheck" "is that so? What if I don't accept?" "You'll be forced." "Ah, Of course, We should discuss this inside, It's getting cold, Don't you think?" "Well, I guess..." "Great! Come inside, What's your name?" "Oh, I'm not supposed to-" "Aw c'mon kid, It's not like I'll go tell Ellen" "W-who?" "The Administrator! That old bitch!" "Umh..." "Anyway, Would you like some sugar?" "Oh, thank you-" "No problem, Dear." The girl sat down, "Anyway, How old are-" "Felicia Pauling" "Uh?" "That's my name." "Oh, okay" The two remained silent, "How long do you think it'll take?" "For what?" "For the anesthetic to take effect." "Wha-" Felicia Blacked out, "Great timing, But fuuuuuck! I'm fucked! I need to hide her and then call the Team and-" Rosalie suddenly stopped dead in her tracks, "Do I still have the chains in the basement? Probably." She picked up Felicia Bridal style and went downstairs to her secret lab and put her down on a table, Strapped her to it, And went back upstairs, "Great, Now, I need to make some phone calls" She picked up the phone and dialed the first number "Heeeeeeeeey, Fred! How's it hangin, Loco? Haha...yeah I need help, Yeah, She reached out to me, Sent a kid too, I know! Yeah" She glanced at the clock "Can you call the others? I have plans tonight and- Really? Can't you make an exception? For me? Okay, Jeez, I'll go call the others, But! I need you here before eight, okay? Good, Bye!" Rosalie Put the phone down and rubbed her eyes in frustration, "Jesus, Okay, One down eight to go!" After seven phone calls, Rosalie was now waiting for her friends to show up, when Suddenly Randall went up to her "Mom, Are you coming to the play?" "I-Honey, My old boss is nagging me again, so I don't think I can-" "oh, Okay" Randall left the room, "Am I ruining my kids-" "Nah, BioHazard, You're doin' great!" Rosalie turned around "Beatrice! It's so good to see you! How's it going?" "Not great, Lost another job" "Why?" "Stabbed a kid with a screwdriver" "Is this why the Christmas card you sent had blood on it?" "Eh? No, I cut my finger with the paper" "Well, Anyway, You're the first one to arrive! Do you want some tea?" "Nah, thanks Doc, I won't drink anything that you put your toxic little hands on" "oh C'mon, my hands aren't toxic! The chemicals I work with, however-" Beatrice Bear-hugged her "I missed you" "Bea, We saw each other two months ago!" "I know, but, You're basically my best friend" "And you're mine!" Rosalie was put down and decided to make some coffee for herself, "Vell, someone should stop you tvo before you start making Friendship bracelets" "ADRIAN!!! How's it going my favorite medic?" "You only have one" "oh shut up! How's The married life treating you?" "it's..Fine, Anyway, Do you want to see some pictures of my son???" "You have a-Okay, Yes! Show me!" After a while, The rest of the team showed up, And Rosalie lead the way to the basement. "Okay People, We have a problem, Queen Bitch has sent someone to come... 'Collect' us, in a way, maybe she wants to reassemble the team, I doubt that, though, So! Should we torture her or-" "I do agree with torturing her" Said the Ex-Spy "Jack, For fuck's sake, We're not torturing her!" "Why not? You're always down for torture" "she's my daughter's age! It feels wrong!" "Maxie?" "No, no, Roxanne" "Ah, Well, I have no problem with torturing her" "Beatrice! Imagine if it was Roxie on that table!" "Uh...Ladies?" "Well, I kinda feel bad now" "See? I told you" "I don't wanna torture Ro-Ro" "Ro-ro? Is that your nickname for her? Oh my god that's so adorable!" "Your daughter is adorable!" "SHUT THE FUCK UP ROSS" "Guys..." "Shut up, Now, How should we extort information from her without torture..." "TEAM!!!" "WHAT IS IT, Jerry?" "The kid escaped" "The kid whAT-" Rosalie got suddenly hit with a metallic pipe "Shit! Rosie! Are you okay?" "I have to tell the administrator that you were all uncooperative, she won't stop until she has you all under her thumb" "We know, But, we can still kill you- ROSS PULL YOUR FUCKING ZIPPER UP YOU PEDOPHILE" "Jesus, Guys, you're all a bunch of assholes" Felicia Hit Ross in the face with the pipe, then dodged an attack from Cheavy, Kicked him in the groin, Broke Jack's nose, Broke one of Fred's legs and almost hit beatrice, "Damn, This kid is good, Can I keep it?" "Beatrice, That is a child, Not a fucking pet, And before you say anything, Ross, No, You can't keep the kid as your Sex slave, I swear to god-" Felicia froze for a moment out of confusion, Then, when she was least expecting it, Beatrice Threw her against the wall and stole her weapon, "you'll all hear from the administrator, you know that? She'll stop at nothing to Keep her secrets" "We know, And we'll be ready" Added Fred, Beatrice Stabbed the Felicia's Arm with the pipe, Because the kid didn't look remotely like Roxanne! Why would Rosalie think that? Anyway, Instead of killing her, The group threw her out in the snow "Remember something kid, You don't mess with us, Okay?" "Ja!" Added Adrian, "The Administrator she'll-" "Kill us?" "Kill M-me!" "I don't believe that" "I-it's t-true! I s-swear!" "Kid, Look how much you're s-s-stuttering! Nobody believes your lies, Now go or I'll get the gun" Felicia got back on her feet, Clutched her bloody wound, and started walking (More like limping) towards the nearest city, "I think we have a problem on our hands" "I agree" "Anyway, Who's up for some tea?" "Ah yes, your 'tea' the one that you would use to try use us for your experiments"
