Chapter Text
At some point during your ride you feel asleep during the ride.. even with Enjin terrible driving.
It kind of reminded you ★❂✭❂❂✭★ driving.. back before all this. She'd have to hit every single bump while driving... it made you angry but then she'd by your ice cream so you'd instantly forgive him
Your eyes still closed you muttered in your sleep "hmmmm... ice cream...." before continuing your knocked out sleep.
zanka looked away form the window and raised his eyebrow before asking "... is she sleep talking..?"
Enjin hummed in agreement before saying "when I first saw her... all she kept talking about was scraps; gold and accent for some reason... honestly it's quite adorable funny to see her muttering random stuff."
Rudo looks at your sleeping form; rising and lowering with each breath... why were you talking about ice cream? It's almost near impossible to have sweets up near the surface... so that leads him wondering why you talked about it.... maybe he's thinking too much into it... beside you were just muttering random stuff.
...right?
His thoughts were cut short by a sharp drift and a loud screeching from the car. Your head lifted from the window and then slammed back onto by the impact; earning from you a loud and grumpy groan.
With half your eyes opens and robing disheveled, you slowly turn your head to Enjin and ask, empty in the inside "did you have to drift like a manic."
Enjin tilted his head 'thinking' letting out a loud hum before the garage door informs of him opens up; to which he happily said "no!" Before pressing his foot to the meddle moving the car inside the tunnel.
After going through the tunnel and arriving at the other side you were slightly blinded by the un-welcoming light but when your eyes adjusted to the light your eyes widen at the (octopus?) looking building in front of you
After the car stopped you exited the car eyes still stuck on the building. Enjin stepped in front of you all proud; exclaims "welcome... to the cleaners HQ!"
you walked beside Rudo who still looked dazed out. Your finger went to his temple poking him until he got irritated and slapped your hand away.
when you entweder the building you see the marble floor design and in front of you, what seems to be the front desk lady girl doing her work-
nope. She's just reading through female p*rn...
you quickly looked towards the other group members; acting like there the most interesting thing in the world.
Once the group stopped in front of the lady's desk, she simply closed the... book and looked up at all of you guys. Riyo and zanka both went to the entrance of another hallway as Riyo waved saying "cya Rudo! Bye jingles"
... didn't you tell her you name already...
Enjin reaches his hand out gesturing to the lady as he said "this is seimu or receptionist; when ever we have a new comer she gives them a look over-"
with an instant of her fork she jabbed it near Rudy's face but stopped. Right in front of it catching two pesky flies that kept bothering you Rudo.
she simply removed the fork near his face and placed it by her side, she exclaimed "nice to cya yea rookies, we've got high hopes for the both of you."
...who's we-
she continued remarking "Enjin told me about you; and about where your both from.... I wanted to get a closer look."
Two fingers from both her hands went to the side of her glasses as she stats "now let me see your potential."
You and Rudo looked at each other letting out a huh. And Enjin slightly points towards seimu glasses as he explained "seimu vital instrument is those glasses; they enhance her Kinetic visual activity... and when she really tries she can see the person true essence"
you let out a few oooo's and ahhh's during her explanation...
what? it was interesting...
You see the rim of her glasses spiral with golden aura until it met the bridge of the glasses. She opened her eyes as it shines a bright light gold as she stares at Rudo.
after a few moments her fingers abruptly left her glasses as her face; written with confusion, she let out a small "..?"
Enjin seemed to notice as he quickly asked "what? What's wrong? What did you see?"
She cleared her throat before commenting "Oh yes... Physical Abilities are already excellent, so you won't need to build them from the Ground up. And his compatibility with his vitalInstrument is way above Average. But his use of it is still Unstable... He'll need Training before he can access his powers Naturally."
Enjin could see, she didn't tell everything... he asked "... is that it?"
Seimu looked away before saying "no... he has scat on his neck"
enjin put his hand over his mouth to stop him from laughing like crazy again. Rudo eyes widen as his hand quickly went to the back of his neck as he muttered a what.
You were shaking in place from trying to hold in your laughter "No wonder there were so many flies around you PFFT-"
You and Enjin went into another fit of laughter as Enjin playfully says "DON'T GO PLAYING AROUND WITH TO MUCH POO KAY KID?" you snickered at his response before taking a deep breath... you decided to be merciful against Rudo today
for now....
Seimu gaze went over to your relaxed form. She added "well.. let get a look at yours jingles"
you freeze at the nickname.. it was starting to get on your nerves as you slowly turn your head to Enjin; who now put rudo between him and you as he looked the other direction.
He said "weird right!.. must be a popular nickname.."
you: "Enjin."
Enjin slightly terrified: "...yes"
you: "how many people have you told; saying my name was jingles..?"
Enjin...: "... AHEM... everyone..." he muttered the last part to himself
you: "...."
your so gonna lace his food
seimu cleared her throat which made you immediately straighten up giving an apologetic smile muttering a small "sorry" before here eyes went golden examine you.
She tensed in place before stopping letting her hand rest against the table. She muttered a low "what the...-" before clearing her throat
oh! That was not reassuring at all!
she says "overall... physical ability wise, she excelled my judgment; she's has high stats already... but she is quite... lazy and it tend to mess with her stats. Not to worry though after a few mission she will be at her fullest potential...she actually the opposite with Rudo she's very stable with her vital instrument but... it feels like it about to snap at any moment. Her compatibility with other her vital instrument is beyond exceptional... but..."
Enjin piped in "but what?"
"Her mental state are all over the place and seem to be constantly changing... if to continue it might change the with of her overall statistic... could be harmful for her.. or others." She muttered the last part but you still heard it.
there was always silence as Rudo and Enjin are frozen in place staring at you. You however, looked completely unbothered... you were still thinking on if dogs had an accent or not-
"(y.n)... is that true? It's not... right?"
You turn your head to your side to see Rudo eyes wide in panic and disbelief... you raised an eyebrow before dismissively saying
"Rudo I've been like this ... I always knew that hun... didn't need know analysis to tell me so.-
-but the important thing is I'm getting better!... I think.."
You did want to say more truly... it's just not easy though and... you can't... you gave him a reassuring smile... it didn't feel fake this time though... it did feel like genuine smile.
yea no... now everyone is staring at you... this is so great...
rudo gaze didn't break as he continued to stare at you; trying to connect the pieces that he didn't had which in turn made him more angry at him self.. he clench his fist he slowly nodded before turning his head in front of him.
Enjin on the other hand stared blankly at you... he didn't really know how to... comfort? You in a situation like this. He did notice you had scars around your body back with the doctor... still he should have been more careful-
Seimu cleared her throat before saying " bosses door is down the hall to the left. First door.." clearly wanting to clear the conversation.
Enjin took the hint and started walking toward the corridor saying "thanks seimu, I'll take them there now." She let out a hum in acknowledgment before going back to... reading.
enjin squinted his eyes towards her but inevitably let it go as the three of you walked in silence to the bosses. Enjin didn't look back but stated "There are a total Of about a hundred cleaners, including combatants, sentinels, and Supporters. But we all stay at other bases depending on where we're cleaning, so it's rare for everyone to be here At hq."
"wanna have a meet and greet with some of them" he added cheerfully.
FWACK NAH.
awww come on I think this would be a good learning curve on how to not act like an idiot-
YO SHUT THE HELL UP WHO WAS TALKING TO YOU
JEEZ THE MOMENT YOU TEY TO BE NICE YOU GET ATTACKED BY AN UGLY BITCH. TYPICAL-
you Enjin and Rudo stop in front of two double door. Before you could tell Enjin NO DONT OPEN THE DOOR YOU UGLY HOOLIGAN-
Enjin said reassuringly towards you "ehh don't worry. It's rare for all the cleaners to be at hq... it be surprising if we had more than three-"
he opened both doors fully wide.
THIS HOOLIGAN ILL KILL HIM-
your face stayed blank as all and I mean EVERYONE in the room turned to stare at the door.
why are they glaring at us. What the actual Fwack did we do (😭)
you catch some of the people in the room; this is why they had in common
1) they had weird hairstyles 2) they were glaring at you guys
You instantly reached out to the door handles; hands touching with Enjin as you gripped increase on the door handles and quickly pulled it close.
Enjin freeze feeling your hand over his (I'm not doing that soft small omega hands over big alpha hands bro. You have normal. Looking. Hands with normal size rough or soft who cares.)... it took him a moment before his thought bubble snapped at the sound of your words saying "you hooligan I'm never doing this again"
Enjin felt a vein pop at his forehead as he replied back 'sweetly' "okay. Jingles. Anything else your majesty" he remarked in a tight smile.
You nodded sassing back saying "yea actually. I'd actually like 5 cakes too!" You replied with a tight smile.
Rudo cleared his throat which made you and Enjin stop to stare at him. "Bosses room... remember." He scooted closer to you before Enjin sighed and dramatically putting his hand son his pocket before nodding at the two of you to go ahead.
After a very very long walk (it wasn't you were just being lazy) you arrived at a tall door. Still trying to catch your breath Rudo left your side and immediately went to the door about to open it.
Enjin quickly went and grabbed his shoulder explaining
"Woah hold your horses you can just march in there and demand that the boss tell you how to get up to the Sphere? Information Is a valuable commodity Everywhere. I told ya the world's not kind enough to give it away For free. You have to offer to pay for it. Say with your own words that you're gonna Work here-
And I told ya some things back There myself 'cause you needed to Hear them. But don't ask about the boss's vital instrument.... Actually, none of us know what it Is. Or what kind of power it Has. But all the cleaners follow his orders 'cause He's got real skills, obviously, and he's someone we can Trust."
Rudo and you both looked at each other and you gave him a thumbs up in encouragement. He took a deep breath and reached out to the door handle. When he opened it... no one was inside.
The three of you let out a confused 'huh' before seimu came from the corner saying casually "Enjin. Forgot to say but the boss is out of town for a bit. Won't be bake for a while."
Enjin and Rudo stare at seimu while you stare in front of you looking around in the 'bosses' office. It was not exactly minimal... but didn't feel full. Almost like it has its needs but not its wants...
makes sense... you didn't own much anyway...
You felt a hand placed on your shoulder which started you as you turn slightly to see Rudo looking half concerned half worried he ask "hey... you good? Kind of zoned out there..."
Your eyes widen looking at him and behind you; Enjin and seimu look at you... carefully, like you're a startled cat. You smiled waving a hand dismissively replying "oh I'm fine! Just thinking about.. stuff..."
You hear footsteps approaching and you turn to see Riyo saying excitingly "Then I have an idea! Let's take the new hopes on an observation trip"
She walked in-front of Rudo face saying "beside.. I want to get to know you better. Please?"
Rudo frezzes on spot which made you snicker... Ahh young love. You remember when you feel like love at first sight...
wait. But I never liked anybody before...
tch rizzless
... AM I GONNA DIE ALONE
probably...
man you are rizz less. Never liked anyone before what's gonna change now... you'll see hehe. After getting over the revelation that your rizz less and Rudo has more game then you (curses) you realize that everyone was staring at you.
um.... what (😺)
"well will you come jingles?" Riyo said happily and patiently waiting for an answer.. she looked sweet and was kind; beside she was the only other girl beside seimu you meet. Maybe you should go-
"nah."
You freeze on spot but still had your neutral face. You stammered a bit muttering "ehh... I'm a bit hungry! Yes. Um I'll come later though." You hide your internal panic hoping she'd believe it.
her smirks dropped a bit before shrugging saying "ok" before turning to Rudo and talking about something on the observation trip happily.
you tuned out all the voices and the world started to shake around you as your vision blurred.. you knew the drill. Just take deep breath count to ten and that crap. Why weren't you calming down? Nothing bad even happens. You just didn't know where it came. Or how. Or why. Oh my gosh why did that happened. It sounded like your inner consciousness. But how? They can't communicate. What the freak-
can you shut up for a bit?
WHAT DDI YOU DO
NOTHING damm bro... im trying to save you AND your body
what-
didn't know you were dense to tsk. I'll tell you later I can't show you now.
