A/N
I wrote this story mostly for fun, it's one of those insert your OC into the episodes types. So if you don't enjoy that than this probably isn't the story for you, also I've already written most of it so updates should be pretty steady, except that I'm still working on a ending.
oOoOo
It all started because of a cup of coffee. I love coffee, that's why I was in this mess. I couldn't sleep, I was in that annoying state when you're tired but can't sleep. And since I had no work tomorrow, it was Sunday, I decided why not treat myself and head to Sunny's café and get myself some much-needed coffee?
I actually worked at the place a couple days a week. It was a nice little café, next to the lake. It hadn't been very busy, probably because of how late it was. Actually there wasn't many people around at all so I had had the great idea to walk around the beach, sipping my drink. It was a nice beach, long, with mountains of boulders sprinkled here and there separating it into sections.
I climb over a large rock, going around a corner and out of sight of anyone in town. I breathe in the fresh air, and smile. It was peaceful, the sound of the waves, the darkness. Funny how small your problems can seem if you just ignore them. Just for a moment.
The only light was the full moon, which looked beautiful. The wind whips by, tugging at my medium length light brown hair, I pull my dark blue hoodie over my head. The only problem right now was the sand steadily getting into my sneakers. Annoyed, I climb over to another rock, sit down and place my coffee next to me. I take off my sneaker and pour out the sand, relaxed I lean back closing my eyes. I stay like that for a few seconds, listening to the crashing off the waves, the wind rustling the nearby trees, the sounds of someone angrily cursing…
…Wait…
I open my eyes, confused. I strain my ears and I hear it again, there was definitely someone nearby, and they didn't sound happy.
I put my sneakers back on, grab my cup and stand up slowly. The smart thing to do would be to ignore it and head back to the lights and safety of Sunny's Diner. But…I was curious. I know, I know, curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back, right?
Quietly I climb up and over the mountain of boulders, on the last one I look down and below me was…a girl? From what I could see, she had black hair, and was wearing a skirt, her back was turned to me but I noticed something…odd. Maybe the darkness was playing tricks on my eyes but I could swear that she had an extra pair of arms.
I repeat, an extra pair of arms.
What.
"It's all his fault!"
I hardly dare to breathe as I lean forwards trying to hear what she's saying.
"Always getting in the way! Always making me look bad in front of Van Kleiss!"
She angrily kicks at the sand. This girl had problems, well, besides the obvious extra limbs. She screams, frustrated.
"I'll kill him! I swear I will! I'll kill you, Rex!"
I have no idea who this Kleiss guy was, or Rex. But I really want to know how crazy this Rex guy must be to piss off the chick with two extra arms. By now I was starting to realize that I might just have walked into a bad situation. Now would be a good time to leave…
I start to slowly, quietly, climb down the boulder, scratching my black trousers. As I reach for a handhold I accidentally hit my cup, sending scolding coffee spilling over the side of the boulder…the side where the girl was.
I freeze as I hear a shocked yell, as the hot coffee hits the girl. I cautiously crawl up a bit and look over the edge of the rock, and nearly scream as I see the girl looking up, glaring right at me. Coffee was dripping down her hair on to her face, she snarls at me. Her hands, all four of them, balled into fists.
"Uh…s-sorry…" I squeak.
She screams again, and I flinch. She jumps up, high, way higher than a normal person could, and starts to climb the rock towards me.
"OH SHIT!" I shriek, leaping off the boulder and on to another one. We start a strange game of cat and mouse, me jumping from boulder to boulder, nearly falling at times, and her angrily screaming her head off, chasing me.
I jump from the last boulder onto the sand, and take off running. "HEEEELPPP!" I scream, but I had gone father from the café then I had realized, no one was around to here me.
I can hear her behind me, getting closer and closer. Suddenly I feel a large hand grab me around my waist and raise me high up into the air. I scream again. At this rate I was going to lose my voice. And, you know, my life too.
"W-W-Wait…" I try to stutter out, struggling against her grip. She just tightens her hold, and I gasp as the pressure against my ribs increase. I had never broken a bone before, and I really didn't want to start.
"Who are you?! Did Providence send you?!" She growls, coffee dripping from her hair.
"Wh-Providence?!" What the hell did that group that stops EVOs have to do with this?! "N-No! I'm not! I swear, I was just walking, okay, climbing, by when I accidentally spilt my coffee on you!"
She growls again, not believing me. "Are you with them? Were you spying on me?! It's always me! I try so hard, and then you people ruin everything!" She rants.
I had no clue what she was going on about. Actually I hardly had a clue about what the hell was going on. "Um, I'm not one of 'those' people, so…please let go…"
"LIAR!" She roars.
I yelp as out of nowhere a red portal thing appears next to her.
"I'll show them! I'll show you all!" She yells as she jumps into the red portal, bringing me with her.
I blink as my eyes are suddenly assaulted by bright lights, squinting I look around. Gone was the sandy beach and waves, replaced by some sort of high tech looking room, with a bunch of people in white and black uniforms, holding guns. All the guns were pointed at us.
I can't even talk; I just stare, trying to take everything in. I think I was in shock. The crazy chick continues to rant.
"I found your little spy!" She snarls.
One of the soldiers in white seems to be speaking into a talkie, radioing for backup. A door on the side of the room opens and a lady in a lab coat, a tall man in a green suit holding a pair of swords, a guy who looks around my age, and…a monkey run into the room.
"Breach, what are you doing here?" The guy my age calls out, getting into a fighting stance. He had a cool jacket.
"Just dropping off your friend, Rex." She replies, waving me around. If I weren't in a life or death situation, I would probably be dying of embarrassment with all the people staring at me. Oh, and so the crazy girl was named Breach. That explains…literally nothing.
"I-I have no idea what's going on." I blurt out in a panicky voice.
"Let the girl go." The guy in green orders, holding his swords up menacingly.
"Sure I will, just after I take a little present for Van Kleiss." She hisses. My eyes widen as she whips her arm towards them, throwing me. I spin in the air, going head over heels, literally, as I fly across the room.
I hear the guy with the cool red jacket yell in alarm as he leaps back and catches me. I stare up at him in surprise.
"Are you okay?" He asks.
"Uh…no, not really." I reply honestly, as I quickly scramble out of his arms taking deep breathes. My head was spinning.
"Get her!" Green guy yells in alarm as Breach grabs a strange looking machine thing from off the walls.
The guards start to fire, but she just turns to us and winks, opening up a portal and easily stepping through.
She disappears.
"Okay. What just happened?" The monkey asks.
I turn to him, my jaw practically touching the floor. "You can talk?!"
He crosses his arms, glaring at me. "Wow, observant."
"The monkey… can talk…and it has an attitude…" I mutter, the dizzy feeling getting worse.
"Why did Breach attack you?" The lady with the lab coat asks me, stepping closer.
"It-she thought, well…" I struggle trying to explain this whole mess. "She thought I had something to do with Providence, because I spilt coffee on her."
"Uh…say what?" Other guy asks, bewildered.
I sigh, the dizzy feeling getting worse. "Wrong place, wrong time."
The last thing I see is the lady and guy coming closer, concerned looks on their faces as I start to lose my balance, swaying. Then, darkness.
oOoOo
I hear a strange beeping sound. When I try to open my green eyes their assaulted by bright light and I snap them shut. I groan in pain and I hear people talking.
"Look, I think she's waking up!"
I groan again. "Did anyone get the license plate of the car, truck, and possible jet that hit me?" I croak out.
"Shhh, don't talk, here have some water." A women's voice says.
I feel someone lift up my hand and place a cool glass in it. I eagerly accept and bring the water to my lips, quickly downing the entire thing.
Slowly I open my eyes, squinting. Looking around I realize I'm in what looks like some sort of medical room, on one side of my bed is the lady with a lab coat, on the other is that guy again, and the monkey with an attitude problem.
Seeing them instantly sends a rush to my head, as I remember my whole crazy encounter with the extra limbs girl.
I gasp, shooting straight up, then groan as my head explodes in pain. I drop back on to the pillow moaning, clutching my head.
"You shouldn't move so fast…" The lady warns me.
"Yep." I answer, not looking up. "I realized."
"I know you must not be feeling very well right now, Rim. But I would like you to answer a few questions."
I start at the new voice; I look over as the man in the green suit enters the room. He was wearing shades, even though we were inside. Weird. And even weirder was…
"How do you know my name?" I ask warily.
"We know a lot more then you think Rim Cricket." He replies ominously.
Brown hair boy rolls his eyes. "He probably just ran you through our population database." What was his name? I think the crazy chick yelled it…Red? Rex?
I raise my eyebrows. "Nifty. I'll answer your questions, if you answer mine. What the hell is going on, who are you people, and…why are you wearing sunglasses inside?" I tend to swear when nervous.
"He just loves the whole mystery act." Rex jokes, ignoring the cold look from the man.
"You were brought here by Breach, who had the idea that you were a spy working for us." Green guy continues. "I am Six, this is Dr. Holiday, Rex, and Bobo." He says, gesturing to each.
His name was Six? That's a strange name…
"That's Agent Haha to you." Bobo adds. I look at him oddly.
"Can you explain why Breach thought you were working for us?" Six asks, though it sounded more like an order honestly. Also, this guy had the best poker face I had ever seen. I mean, the way he talked we could be talking about the weather. Also, he said us, which meant that they were Providence…geez.
"I'll try to explain it, but it's probably going to sound kind of crazy…"
"Believe me, we can handle crazy." Rex chuckles.
I shrug and explain it as best as I can, my whole crazy tale. At the whole spilling coffee on Breach's head part Rex and the monkey laughed so hard I thought they were going to pop a lung or something.
"Well, at least she didn't suck you into her own little pocket dimension." Rex comments.
I turn to Rex, an eyebrow raised. "Uh…sure. Also she really hates you."
Rex scoffs. "Feeling's mutual."
"You have had a pretty crazy night." Dr. Holiday says, giving me a sympathetic smile. Her dark brown hair was in a bun, she looked completely professional. Her hair was perfect, way different then my annoying crazy wavy hair.
"Just a bit." I laugh leaning deeply against the pillows.
"We should contact your parents, so they know where you are and that you're safe." Dr. Holiday adds.
I freeze a bit, my smile slipping off my face. looks at me curiously, but I glance over at Six. If he had really checked up on me…
"That's not possible." Six nods, and even though he still had that Poker face on, I think his voice went a bit soft. Just a little bit.
"What do you mean Six? They must be worried." Dr. Holiday asks, the others look confused too.
I start to fiddle with the sleeve of my sweater, not looking anyone in the eye as Six explains.
"She has no parents, since a incident a couple of years ago. She's been taking care of herself for the past while."
I can sense their stares on me and I fiddle even more. This wasn't fair. I didn't ask for all my business to be shown to a bunch of strangers, especially stuff so personal.
"So…what now?" Rex asks.
"It may be best for her to stay with us for a time." Six answers.
I look up, this getting my attention. "Woah, woah, what? Why?"
"Because Breach seems to believe you are working for us. And she now knows where you live. If you return so soon she may attack the people close to you as revenge."
I bite my lip, thinking. It's true, I had no parents. I had some people that I knew sort of well, but no one really close besides my boss who was a thirty something year old guy with a three year old kid. It would be horrible though if Breach showed up there, and hurt people in some sort of sick revenge plot.
"For how long?"
"We can't know for sure. A few months at least."Six replies.
I bite my lip. Things were moving so fast, it was hard to think.
"Uh, hey Six, what was the thing that Breach took?" Rex asks, changing the subject, thankfully.
"It wasn't something very important. A piece of equipment from one our experiment projects on nanites. It will set us back a few months, but nothing we can't fix." Six answers.
Rex nods, but there's a frown on his face. "And why didn't she just…well… kill Rim when she had the chance if she thought she worked for Providence?"
"I have a theory on that. You say that when you first encountered her she was frustrated, angrily talking about Rex and a man named Van Kleiss?" Six asks, the question directed towards me.
I nod.
"Perhaps she thought she had to prove herself, as of late we have been foiling many of their plans. Maybe she thought bringing Rim back here would prove she had the upper hand, that she could take what we threw at her. And by taking one of our equipment pieces right from us that she was better than us in a way." Six theorizes.
"Well I for one, think that she's a few slices short of a loaf of bread." Bobo comments.
"Yah, no kidding." Red agrees.
My mouth twitches into a small smile. notices and turns to Rex suddenly saying "Rex, why don't you show Rim around the facility? Maybe it will help her feel more…settled. While your gone we'll take care of the sleeping situation.
"Sure, it'll be fun." Rex says, shrugging.
I glance at him. I hardly knew the guy. I hardly knew any of these people. I think I could trust them, but still…well I guess it's better then lying in this bed all day.
"Okay…" I slowly get up, feeling a few bruises. "How long was I out?"
"Only a few hours."
I nod, following Rex out of the room.
