Chapter Text
A virus is spreading among the people of the city. Under orders of the Vanguard everyone is having to stay where they live, whether it be their ship or their apartment. They’re afraid of guardians getting it and spreading it to the civilians of the city since it's deadly to them. Some have already adjusted to this and accepted it. But many, many do not. And from what it looks like, everyone's going to be indoors for a long time.
''Ok, what the actual crap is going on?'' Sage says. She looks up at her warlock companion.
''Everyone is under quarantine until further notice,'' said Brooke.
''Well, that's great. The enemies of humanity are going to have a fun time with us all here, instead of out there protecting the city,''
''Not exactly, Zavala has a bunch of guardians working, but they're not allowed to come back here,'' she replies. Sage sits down next to the last person of their fireteam on the couch, flipping through channels on their TV.
''Yeah, it sucks,'' Liz, the titan of the group says, looking at the screen with anger. She suddenly stands up and starts pacing. '' I mean, what are we supposed to do? Some people are out there on the front lines fighting, while we're here doing nothing but sitting here,''
Sage stands up and stops Liz from pacing, putting her hands on the titans shoulders, makes Liz look at her and asks, ''Logan one of those out there fighting and not you?'' she says with a smug smile. Asking about her boyfriend always makes her embarrassed and awkward.
Liz looks down with the embarrassment and a growing blush. Just like the sly hunter expected, ''yes,'' she simply replied. ''But I'm not worried about him,'' She pulls out of Sage's grip easily and continues. ''He's the best hunter I know, besides you of course, and I just care about him, ok. That's all,'' as she says the last part she blushes even harder. She then stops and turns to Sage with her very own smug expression and says ''Just like you care about the great Lord Shaxx.''
Brooke gasped dramatically as she turned to Sage. Sage, just like Liz was a minute ago, face was bright red with embarrassment and anger. She had a rather big crush on the crucible handler and actually was good friends with him. She looked at Liz with the intent of murder in her eyes.
''How dare you,'' she said before tackling the titan to the floor.
Brooke jumped up from where she was sitting and ripped them away from each other before any punches or knives were thrown. "Are you kidding me, it's the first day of quarantine and you're both already at each others throats. Can we just do what we do every Friday night. Pig out, talk, and watch anime till five in the morning? Please?'' She looked at both of them with hope.
Liz looked at Sage and let out a sigh, ''Fine, I'll the ice cream and cookies,'' she said as she walked into the kitchen.
Brooke then looked at Sage. Sage looked away and simply said, '' I'll get the spoons and bowls,'' and walked into the kitchen behind Liz.
Brooke turned the TV on to My Hero Academia and smiled to herself in triumph. ''This is going to be a long six months.''
