The Time X Decided to Start a Group Chat and Regretted it Immediatly

Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Summary:

I still don't know what happened. This chapter isn't as fun as the last two but it does show some of the changes I made from canon. It's also meant to emphasize the relationship these dorks have more. Fun times

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

QueenofNavigation: So r we just not going to talk about it?

theREALcharlesXavier: Talk about what?

GodofDestruction: Nope

theREALcharlesXavier: Um

theREALcharlesXaveir: guys?

theREALcharlesXavier: what did you do?

QueenofNavigation: I ddnt do anything. It was Zero

GodofDestruction: Guilty as charged

theREALcharlesXavier: oh god

theREALcharlesXavier: Zero what did you do

theREALcharlesXavier: Zero

theREALcharlesXavier: Zero I swear if you “accidentally” welded the doors to the meeting room while the major was inside again I will

GodofDestruction: U will?

theREALcharlesXavier:  I don’t know something. Latrine duty or something

GodofDestruction: At this point I have permanent latrine duty so ur words mean nothing to me

GodofDestruction: But no I ddnt do that

theREALcharlesXavier: So what DID you do?!

GodofDestruction: Hopefully nothing

QueenofNavigation: u know that super uptight general that was supposed to visit?

GodofDestruction: SHHHHHH NOTHING HAPPENED

theREALcharlesXavier: the one that idolizes Zero?

QueenofNavigation: the very same

QueenofNavigation: Z must have forgotten this and was having a moment

GodofDestruction: ALIA SHHHHHHH

theREALcharlesXavier: Z do I need to teleport back?

QueenofNavigation: this is y I love u

QueenofNavigation: u immediately offer to drop everything and come over at the slightest hint of emotional distress

QueenofNavigation: yeah u should probably warp back

GodofDestruction: I should just accept my fate shouldn’t I?

QueenofNavigation: ANYWAY, Z u need help and I obviously cant do that for u when I have to suck up to annoying generals

QueenofNavigation: homeboi here was having a mental breakdown and screeching abt mavericks

QueenofNavigation: and how he cant have a normal rest cycle cause his systems are a neurological wreck

QueenofNavigation: and then he goes off about long hair and the color red and me and Sigs were right there with the general

QueenofNavigation: and the commander just kind of coughed and Z turned around and just stated with a straight face “freaking pigeons man” except he didnt say “freaking” and walked off

QueenofNavigation: Gotta keep it pg incase the baby comes back from his mission and reads this

THATonefriend: ive heard worse

THATonefriend: ive said worse

THATonefriend: ive lived worse

GodofDestruction: WHO DO I NEED TO KILL AXL?

THATonefriend: already taken care of

theREALcharlesXavier: I’m coming back Zero

GodofDestruction: Im fine X

GodofDestruction: I got it out of my system

theREALcharlesXavier: Unfortunately you have more than one system

theREALcharlesXavier: And you have a habit of telling me you’re fine when you’re not

theREALcharlesXavier: So I am coming regardless

THATonefriend: Me too!!

THATonefriend: Ive got mario kart and im not afraid to use it

GodofDestruction: didnt you just get back from a mission?

GodofDestruction: dont you have paperwork?

THATonefriend: screw paperwork

theREALcharlesXavier: Since when do you care about paperwork, Z?

theREALcharlesXavier: Also, clear off the table I’ve got cake

GodofDestruction: the hell?

GodofDestruction: already?

QueenofNavigation: SAVE SOME FOR ME BOYS

theREALcharlesXavier: sure thing Al

QueenofNavigation: ill be there as soon as I can ditch this ridiculous tour

THATonefriend: watching X balance a three tiered cake and text while dodging idiots in the hallway is watching a god at work

GodofDestruction: longest sentence you’ve ever txtd and its abt X

GodofDestruction: fair

QueenofNavigation: anything praising X is 100% true

QueenofNavigation: X is a sweet innocent cinnamon roll that must be preserved and savored

THATonefriend: aaaaaaaaand he’s blushing

GodofDestruction: Also X  ytf do you have a THREE TIERED cake?!?!

GodofDestruction: I feel like theres a story behind that and I wanna know the deets

theREALcharlesXavier: Walked into the bake shop, showed her my ID, and said that a friend of mine was having a bit of an emotional breakdown and needed a pick me up

theREALcharlesXavier: Made sure to inform her that said friend was a reploid and that I was fully aware of the price inflation. Asked for any cake she would be willing to give to a bunch of reploids

THATonefriend: i hate how everythings inflated for us

THATonefriend: like I just want chips but I have to pay three times the price for them because I don’t NEED them

THATonefriend: like f u

THATonefriend: humans don’t NEED chips either

QueenofNavigation: Go off Axl

GodofDestruction: anyways

GodofDestruction: continue

theREALcharlesXavier: the lady hums, walks into the backroom and comes back out with this MASSIVE cake

THATonefriend: it is absolutely huge

GodofDestrution: u tried to refuse it didnt u?

theREALcharlesXavier: I kind of gawk at it for a bit and then tell her “ma’am I think you might have heard me wrong. I’m a reploid. My friend are reploids. We’re the ones eating it”

theREALcharlesXavier: And she just looks at me from behind the register and goes “that’ll be 50 zenny”

THATonefriend: TF? Arent cakes that size usually five times that much? Like BEFORE reploid taxing?!?!

theREALcharlesXavier: EXACTLY!! So I don’t want to offend her but I really don’t want to not pay full price so I just go “ma’am, we don’t need this much cake” and the lady whose expression has not changed goes “45 zenny then”

QueenofNavigation: she LOWERED the price?!?!?

theREALcharlesXavier: Me: “ma’am that is far too little” lady: “You want me to lower it more?” Me: “No ma’am, I want you to let me pay full price.”

theREALcharlesXavier: Lady: “Boy if you think I’m going to let you pay full price when you’ve been working your ass off trying to save the world, you better think again. You say you and your friends don’t NEED this much cake. Let me tell you what you NEED. You need a BREAK! I don’t want you working until you and your friends finish this whole goddamn cake and savor every goddamn bite.”

theREALcharlesXavier: At this point Im just speechless but she keeps going, “HELL, if it was up to me you wouldn’t pay a goddamn thing for this cake, but it isn’t. So you better hurry up and pay before I lower it more.”

theREALcharlesXavier: so I pay the 45 zenny

THATonefriend: somehow i have a feeling it doesnt end here

GodofDestruction: How much of a tip did you leave

theREALcharlesXavier: I dropped 600 zenny in the jar, looked her straight in the face with a smile and said “for excellent customer service”. Then I grabbed the cake and ran before it could escalate anymore.

GodofDestruction: Of course

THATonefriend: Where did you even go?!?!?

THATonefriend: also, X, u carry like 700 zenny around with u?!?!

GodofDestruction: Axl u havent set up a warp bank account yet?

THATonefriend: a wat?

GodofDestruction: U can teleport money from your account with it. Very useful

THATonefriend: THOSE EXIST?!?!? Y?!?!? LIKE CREDIT CARDS EXIST AND THAT’S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING?!?!?

GodofDestruction: dunno. I got one so I can throw money at people when im bored. Not like I use it. HQ pays for everything I need

QueenofDestruction: I just hack whenever I need funds

GodofDestruction: ur gonna get caught one day and im not gonna help you

QueenofDestruction: that’s a lie, youd totally bust me out

QueenofNavigation: also me getting caught? Impossible

QueenofNavigation: also, I already have a criminal record. Y do u think Im legally required to work for the maverick hunters?

GodofDestruction: WTF?!? I THOUGHT YOU SIGNED UP JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!?!?

QueenofNavigation: Boi I never told you?!?!? I hacked the pentagon, got my dumbass busted, then was told to work for HQ for like the rest of my life as “community service”

GodofDestruction: WHAT ABOUT ALL THAT SHIT ABOUT THE RESEARCH FACILITY AND GATE

QueenofNavigation: Completely true but also a cover up for the real truth

GodofDestruction: WFT?!?! I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU?!?!?

QueenofNavigation: Clearly not as well as you thought

theREALcharlesXavier: She’s also not legally allowed to touch a computer but the Commander thinks that’s bullshit so now she’s our Computer Science Specialist and Head of Navigations

GodofDestruction: ARE THERE PEOPLE NOT CHECKING TO SEE IF SHE’S ON A COMPUTER?!?!?

QueenofNavigation: There were but when they found out, the Commander pretty much told them to f off said that I could do more good this way

theREALcharlesXavier: There was a HUGE fight between the Commander and the gov over it. Eventually Signas won

GodofDestruction: the hell? Every day, I swear, I learn that you are NOT the person I thought you were Alia

QueenofNavigation: >:D

GodofDestruction: HOLY HELL X

GodofDestruction: THAT CAKE IS BIGGER THAN AXL’S FACE

THATonefriend: Y is my face the one being used for comparison?

THATonefriend: like Zero’s is bigger

QueenofNavigation: You’ve made the effort to notice that?

THATonefriend: my systems are constantly scanning shit

THATonefriend: Like how do you think my powers work?

QueenofNavigation: . . . . I thought you only got that kind of information from your copy shot

THATonefriend: Copy shot is mostly for internal systems

THATonefriend: I can copy appearances though without copy shooting them to some degree. Won’t move or act like them though

GodofDestruction: This is y youre class S

GodofDestruction: U can casually mention incredibly terrifying abilities

QueenofNavigation: IM COMING BOIS

theREALcharlesXavier: Already?

QueenofNavigation: Signas told me to return to my “duties” as head of navigation and that he would handle the rest. We all know that he was really telling me to leave and check on Z

theREALcharlesXavier: Sounds like him. We’re in my room. Z and Axl are already engaged in racing warfare

QueenofNavigation: Sweet

Notes:

As much as I would LOVE to say that I have more time because of the virus I really don't. I'm still working four days a week and taking two classes. In a couple of weeks, I start an internship. Then I'll be working five days a week on top of my two classes. Fun times. There's so many things I want to do with my free time and unfortunately writing fanfiction isn't exactly my default de-stressor anymore. That's not to say that I intend on dropping any of my stories. I just don't know when I'm going to be getting to any of them. This was an easy relaxing one to work on. It's fun to write and I can go completely off-key and it doesn't matter because its a CHAT FIC. THERE IS NO PLOT.

If anybody cares enough, let me know if you prefer me bolding/underlining to distinguish character from character to just keeping the text normal. I started doing that but then I hit the wrong button and it closed the page. I didn't feel like doing it all over again.

Notes:

I don’t know what just happened. I really don’t.
