    Summary

    “Aww, you’re no fun. How ‘bout a different toxin, then, somethin’ a bit more-”

    “No again. What’d I say? No instruments tonight.”

    “Right right right,” Jabber waves his hand dismissively, “S’all good. Mankira’ll still get her piece.”

    Zanka eyes those rings once again. Jabber takes another step, closing the distance between them entirely.

    “Let’s stop wasting time then, Mr. Bad Attitude.”

    -

    Zanka has been meeting up with Jabber, a dangerous Raider who's almost killed him several times, at an abandoned house outside a tiny and remote town for months now. Meanwhile, he tries to keep his sneaking out and complicated relationship with Jabber a secret from his team and from the Cleaners. As it begins to take more and more of a toll on him, Zanka has to reconsider what it is he actually wants.

    Summary

    “Hey sexy,” Enjin greets.

    Gris pulls a shirt from the dryer, shakes it once and lays it in the basket tucked under his arm.

    “No.”

    Enjin pouts as he leans against the doorway, his shoulders spanning most of the frame.

    “You don’t even know what I’m going to ask.”

    “And I don’t need to know,” Gris says patiently, smiling as Enjin further smooshes his lips in a pout. “It’s the first Friday of the month, and you want me to race Sheila. No.”

    Summary

    "GREAT! Just great! As if this could GET any better!" Zanka bites out, seething. Of course he's stuck here, injured, in a damp, dirty cell, and of course he's stuck here with fucking Jabber of all people.

    Jabber whistles appreciatively, "Man, you're in a mood today. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" and cackles at his own joke. Zanka's gonna strangle him. He's gonna rip out those bars with his bare hands and use them to beat Jabber to death.

    or

    Zanka is taken by some people who want to study givers. Jabber is there too. This somehow makes everything both better and so much worse.

    Summary

    Zanka has the patience of a saint—or so has said Riyo when she likes to put it to the test.

    But right now it is starting to prove how wrong that first assessment was.

    “What?” Zanka’s voice cracks on the question, an alarming expression morphs his face, “Please, repeat that?”

    “Jabber is joining The Cleaners starting today,” Corvus repeats with all the seriousness in the world, not a hint of humor nor sarcasm is shown, “He’s going under the vigilance and tutelage of Team Akuta.”

     

    Jabber joins the cleaners for reasons Zanka doesn't really want to know.
