Superninjax- Good idea, but I don't want too much plot in this fic, and that'll build MUCHO drama (though it would be pretty damn hilarious when VK figures it out XD). Vk will only make a deadpan entrance, with the same reaction as everyone else, cept with him it's gonna be so much more funny. I still like that idea, though.
echoecho-girl- The ghost toilets are coming for you. XD
GHandB10Fan- Happy to take the pressure off, first of all :). They're both traumatized beyond repair at this point. I played with the option of Holi figuring it out, but... really. Even if the info is right in front of her, it's a little hard to believe. But it's cool, she's going to have some more thinking in later chaps XD. Plus, eventually she will find out. But that's WAY later lol.
TheEndReaper- XD But as I said before, I don't want Holi out right figuring it out, but you're right. So, never fear. I have a few more stupid moments for these two to try and weave through.

beep-beep
Six groaned, stuffing his face in the pillow.
beep-beep
It wasn't even near about day light, yet. What could they possibly want?
beep-beep
Out of all the trained soldiers on base, what did they need him for?
beep-beep
Six groaned again, reaching over blind for his comm link. Except, he was only grabbing air.
beep-beep
He moaned in annoyance again, flat out refusing to open his eyes. Slowly, he shifted to reach a little more.
beep-beep
Moving his other arm out for leverage, he continued to inch closer to the end table.
beep-beep
Six fell out of bed with a loud tumble.
beep-beep
He groaned again, looking at his hands. Terrific. Lovely. Just lovely. He was still a kid! He had the strong urge to bang his head against the floor, when he heard it again.
beep-beep
He huffed, grabbing the comm and putting it to his ear. "Si-" He quickly caught himself from saying his name. "Yes?"
"Rex?"
"Holiday?"
Six glanced at the clock to notice it was 4:30 in the morning. This begged the question was she really up this early or was she still up? This was beat by another, much better question.
"Why do you have Six's comunicator?"
Why, indeed?
"Oh, I do?," was his casual/terrifyed answer, "I hadn't noticed. They all look the same. Must of had them switched after training or something..."
"Not like Six to switch them up like that," she muttered on the other end, but thankfully she bought it, "Doesn't matter right now. I'll call Six on your comm link. We've spotted Biowulf in the city. Looks fishy."
"The Pack?," he asked rhetorically, rubbing his face with his hand. "I'm on my way to the hangar, now."
o0o
The floor may be cold and hard, but dammit if he wasn't snoring and sleeping like a baby.
Till something sounded off in his ear.
beep-beep
Grunting in annoyance, he put a finger to his ear. "Huh?," he asked, half asleep.
"Six?," said the voice on the other end, "You ok?"
Rex shot up, feeling a nice 'pop' in his back. "Doc?," he said, trying to bend his back into the right place again before it became plain unbearable, "What's up?"
"Uhhh... kay," she mumbled, ignoring all of that, "We've spotted Biowulf in the city. We think the Pack might be up to something."
"Up to-," he glanced at the clock, "It's 4:30 in the morning! What are they doing? Taking over for the Sand Man?"
"... Are you feeling ok?"
His back popped back into place, as he let out a rewarding sigh and falling back on top of his make shift bed. "Yeah, I'm great."
"... Great... Rex is already waiting for you, by the way."
"Of course he is," he mumbled, cutting the connection.
o0o
Van Kleiss walked down the middle of the street like he owned the damn place. Behind him followed the puppy, the mutated lizard, the four armed freak show, and Circe.
No one else was around. It was quiet...
Exactly not what Kleiss wanted. He stopped to glare at the city.
"Um... Master?," the puppy decided to speak up first, "Forgive me, but... why are we here?"
"To take hostages," Kleiss put out simply.
"Yes, I know that, but...," the puppy tried again, "Why are we here?"
"Oh, come on," Kleiss scoffed, turning around to his 'minions', "This is a city! Where's the night life?"
All heads turned to Circe, who sighed. "The Nanite Event killed the night life, obviously. It's rumored that Evos are stronger after dark."
Skallamander started laughing, until Biowulf nudged him with an elbow.
Kleiss blinked. "Why didn't you think to tell me this sooner?"
She shrugged. "I thought you knew what you were doing."
And he face palmed. "Fine. Ok," he looked back up to his crew, "If you come across any civilians, snatch them. We need some sort of bait for Rex."
"Oh, so," Circe put her hands on hips, "Instead of just watching him come to us every other week, we're going to lure him to us?"
"That's right, Circe," he replied, all smiles and sarcasm, "Thank you for managing to keep up with us so far."
"Um, Master?," Biowulf decided to try again, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going home," he answered with a scowl, Breach opening a portal behind him. He turned and walked through with her, "I need a drink."
The portal closed with a loud hiss. The three just stared at where their leader once stood.
"Well!," Biowulf jumped into action, "You heard him! Let's go-"
"Tch." Circe walked away.
Skallamander followed after her. "Seriously. Come on, man."
"But we..." Biowulf was quickly left alone. "We have orders..."
o0o
Rex yawned, watching the screen. "I don't see them," he said... again.
"Rex," the stoic, young voice behind him said, "We're not even there, yet."
"Well," he said, turning to Six, "I still don't see them. Let's go home."
"We can't. You know that."
"Six," Rex sighed, "I think this is a special case. I hear no explosions. If he's taking over the world, he'll let us know. He always does. Let's go home."
"Stop whining."
"I'm not whining! I'm making sense!"
"Guys?"
They both suddenly stood up straight, looking back at the screen that now showed Holiday's face. "Yes?," Six prompted.
"You're getting close to where we last spotted Biowulf. Are, uh," he face quickly turned into concern, "You two ok?"
"Oh, great."
"Never better."
"Terrific."
"I want to die."
"I hate myself and the world at large."
"Kill me now."
"But I feel great."
"Things are wonderful."
She blinked. "Well... Ok, sure. Whatever you say. Good luck." She killed the feed.
Rex sighed again, getting closer to the screen that he was originally looking through. "I still don't-"
"Rex. Don't talk to me right now." The teen gave a heavy sigh, as Six stood. "We should get down there. See what's going on with our own eyes."
"If you say so," Rex moaned, flicking the shades down from his forehead and opening the aerial transport door.
o0o
Biowulf swung his head back, sniffing the air and causing his other two partners to stop. "... Providence."
"What?," Circe quickly asked, before they all heard the transport in the sky. It was seen lowering a few streets away, two figures jumping out. "Rex."
o0o
And I'm stopping there. Sorry this was so late and short, but I have two reasons.
1- I had a MAJOR writer's block (and still do) for the interaction between the Pack and our boys. That's one of the reasons I threw VK and Breach out, but I still left them relatively open. That way, if I have an idea that includes them, I can easily bring them back.
2- I joined an RP on LiveJournal as Holiday and it's uber addictive. Soooooo, there's that.
The next update will either be Breakeven or a oneshot. MAYBE Loving Demons, but I don't know. I'm eager about that fic, but I have so much other stuff sitting around. Plus, I have an original story that I really want to work on and I've been doing a lot of research for that. (SPOILER: It's not about vampires!)
Btw, I'd like some feedback on how I wrote out the Pack. I believe that's my first time really stepping in their heads, so yeah. Please?
