Snapping his mouth shut as their employer eyed them critically, Tyson turned his attention to the arena-like training room that currently housed his white-haired teammate. Watching as the officer began to pull himself onto his feet, Ty grimaced as the smaller male was kicked into the less than padded wall before falling back down to his knees. Unable to hear any of the sounds due to the thick glass, the raven could tell the man was hurting from the way he shuddered and heaved, obviously trying to pull air back into beaten lungs. Averting his eyes as the pale hair was grabbed to hoist the man up to his feet, Tyson flinched when the glass shielding them shuddered violently from having his subordinate thrown then pinned to it.copyright protection49PENANAHdprfoMvAL
Initially, he had been awakened by a message from the Director to get to the skybox. Upon arrival, he saw Evren sleeping at the center though he had been in the medical ward just the night prior. His wake up call was less than amiable since it consisted of a kick to the side followed a rather uncomfortable confrontation of almost having his face smashed in. Now, however, it was quite obvious that the Director was a little upset after the escapades that had ensued just the night before.copyright protection49PENANA5XCdGpAWgI
"Sir, if I may, can we please stop this?" Tyson asked, flinching subtly when the glass rattled dully once more. Red eyes then focused on the officer below as he once knocked down. "I don't think he can handle any of that right now."copyright protection49PENANAPmvlxzUkHM
"Sure he can." Hazel eyes then watched as Evren evaded a kick, merely to catch a punch to the face. "See, he's fine."copyright protection49PENANAUlbecKeNEy
Picking himself up, Evren panted harshly as he held his side. Watching the two androids that were closing the gap between them, the officer took a step back before evading another punch to the head. Dodging a kick that cracked the wall, he held up a hand to deflect right hook though couldn't stop the punch to the stomach that had him collapsing to the floor in a heaving mess.copyright protection49PENANAl7h4iq6hcZ
"Sir-" He flinched when his subordinate had his lower back stomped on. "Sir, that's enough."copyright protection49PENANAkTkoZsfLg6
"Excuse me?" The man then glanced towards the ring as its lighting went out. "He's fine."copyright protection49PENANAJT8bULBZdZ
Gritting his teeth, Tyson stared down at the darkened space for a time before catching a small spark of light.copyright protection49PENANAzw8tGovD6V
The interval between each of the flashes then began to grow before they ended altogether.copyright protection49PENANAF5bZKOcFbz
"Sir, I must insist that you-"copyright protection49PENANATYeYZW83mR
"Be quiet," he interjected. "If I wanted your opinion, which I don't at the moment, I'd ask."copyright protection49PENANAvQDbK5K9sN
"But-"copyright protection49PENANAWJeAPOrfF7
"Evren did well at speaking when spoken to."copyright protection49PENANA4w7zdHYA5v
Bowing his head, Ty glanced up when the glass rattled once more prior to cracking. A single spark, much smaller than before, then shot around the arena but it wasn't bright enough to illuminate the entire area. Any chance, however, was dashed when the light suddenly faded completely.copyright protection49PENANAe4FKHIiL90
It remained that way and roughly ten minutes passed before the arena walls shook. The flickering lights of the skybox then had the officer looking up before covering his face as they shattered. Catching a humming sound of a potential surge, red eyes peered down through the darkness to see a weak source of light brightening at an accelerating rate.copyright protection49PENANAh2FQEmQauz
Flinching as his radio began to go in and out, Tyson pull it from his shoulder before hearing the same thing coming from the intercom in the room. The cracking sound of glass then brought his attention back to what was going on in the ring.copyright protection49PENANAptDI0pICnl
It was going to be a repeat of what happened last night if this continued.copyright protection49PENANA5fAej32E9b
Glimpsing in the Director's direction for a brief moment, Tyson hopped over the ledge and into the arena a floor below. Landing on something hard, he pushed it out of his mind before making his way towards his target.copyright protection49PENANAXUTlPXhTKl
The hair on the back of his neck was standing on end.copyright protection49PENANAttC47TvUCd
He could practically feel the electricity everywhere.copyright protection49PENANAF4ZED9LXwg
Something, presumably a fist, then collided with the side of his face. Righting himself, the raven took a step back before holding up his hands. When a punch came again, he grabbed hold of the attacker's wrist before they got the chance to distance themselves. Shifting his weight, Ty flipped whoever the individual was onto the ground before kicking them away and hopefully a safe distance away. Focusing on who had come for, Tyson brought up a hand to shield his eyes from the light as it seemed to hit a new high in radiance.copyright protection49PENANAo1Xi5S5yqQ
Ducking in time to avoid a possible strike from a stray bolt, Tyson stared at the anomaly until they spotted the white-haired man standing at the center of it with his head down. Dodging another potentially lethal attack, Ty eased towards his subordinate with his hands held up.copyright protection49PENANAztPKTO8CdH
"Evren? Hey, can you hear me?" Grimacing at the silence, other than the increasing flux in power, Tyson slowly brought a hand up to the man's shoulder before yanking it back as he was zapped. "Evren, calm down!" Cradling his hand for a second more, the man looked around, finding it quite difficult to see much with the light shining so ridiculously bright. "Ren-"Aforementioned merely swayed before stepping around the man. "Evren, wait-!"copyright protection49PENANAtwmwQIh5Br
Turning in time to see the other balling up a fist, Tyson took a step back when all of the stray streams of power began to centralize around Evren's closed hand. Taking a step back as the man took one forward, Ty held up his hands quickly only to have his partner pivot and throw the punch in the completely opposite direction.copyright protection49PENANA6CCfyXRny8
First came the crunching sound of metal prior to the whining sound of circuitry being overwhelmed. Seeing how Evren had yet to pull his hand back, Ty snagged the collar of his shirt and yanked the man back before whatever he had punched finally began to self-destruct.copyright protection49PENANAWq9fAEYj9d
"Hold your fire."copyright protection49PENANAidSUsxQN8a
Looking up, red eyes narrowed before the power was restored to the room once more. Seeing at least twenty men standing along the upper half of the training facility, armed with just about everything in their arsenal, Tyson looked towards their employer to see him watching both of them carefully.copyright protection49PENANAu6fQVOU4L8

"Watch your tone."copyright protection49PENANAKhqW6wQ4wf
Ty looked around to see the holes in the wall and flooring. "What were you trying to accomplish by doing all of this?!" he all but growled at the man, earning the attention of all the other armed men in the room.copyright protection49PENANADjvZQzLZjW
"Why are you so attached?"copyright protection49PENANAGK26yqOcca
"Why did you do this to him? Is this about last night?!" the raven questioned once more. "Answer me!"copyright protection49PENANA61gU5u3aBH
"…son." The raven looked down as pale fingers grasped at his shirt. "Ty…"copyright protection49PENANAO2z21rrhr1
"Ren, hey, are you alright?" Gritting his teeth as mismatched eyes began to slip shut; Tyson turned his attention back to the Director only to see that he was no longer there. "Dammit…." Shifting his hold on the other, Ty glanced at Evren as he began to sink lower. "C'mon, you gotta help me out here. You're not exactly light."copyright protection49PENANAJlBjUmmoyG
"Tyson." Looking over his shoulder to see the Director watching him, Ty took a step back. "Why are you so attached to this one?"copyright protection49PENANAFJN7AbXaRU

"Answer me."copyright protection49PENANAXUkeDULRY4

Sighing as he massaged the side of his head, the older man clenched his jaw as he felt his eye twitch. "He's-"copyright protection49PENANAaPqPHod0Nb
"Why?!" Red eyes then focused on the paler male as he began to sink towards the floor. "Ren, stand up."copyright protection49PENANABYq4QtwVqR
"This place is obviously becoming too much for him," he stated as he gestured towards the white-haired man that still seemed to emit sparks every so often.copyright protection49PENANAbY3dkhJ9nd
"He just needs a vacation," Tyson countered. "You've been working him since day one!"copyright protection49PENANASPoW6RgLAU

"…ren."copyright protection49PENANAN8I1Pl8h3M
"Excuse me?"copyright protection49PENANAyngfl972LQ
Pulling himself into a more upright position, Evren released the raven in favor of standing on his own. "If…you're going to address me, p-ple-" He staggered suddenly before holding the side of his head. "My name…" Having Ty get him back to his feet, Evren, held his head tighter. "My…name is…is Evren."copyright protection49PENANAeY5dzoOUrU
Fishing through his pocket, Tyson withdrew two capsules and presented to his teammate. "Take these." When the officer made no attempts at taking them, Ty pressed them against Evren's mouth, merely to have his hand swatted away. "Evren-"copyright protection49PENANARKJ4aaeMAt
"I don't want it." Pushing himself away from the raven, Evren made his way over to his boss. "Sir."copyright protection49PENANAuIfnTMl7ez
Eyeing the younger man, the Director withdrew an aspirin and held it out. "Take it."copyright protection49PENANARkw6CRSqjj
"Sir-"copyright protection49PENANAFTLXK2jweO
"That is an order, Evren."copyright protection49PENANA5MvceGx2K0
"Of course it is," he replied as he took the pill.copyright protection49PENANAnXUNqIKzTL
Watching as the man put the small capsule in his mouth, their employer slid his hands into his pockets before turning away. "Due to certain circumstances and complications, you will no longer be a part of the task force."copyright protection49PENANAoYoxo9nWxr
"Sir!" Hazel eyes darted towards the raven as he took a step forward. "You can't do that!"copyright protection49PENANA7EO6OTkNmB
"I can and I just did." The man then looked to the quieter officer. "You're being reassigned, Evren."copyright protection49PENANASppKciTeph
"Sir, you can't go reassigning my members!" Tyson shouted.copyright protection49PENANAtVWvqGRSi2

"Evren, you can't be ok with this!"copyright protection49PENANAdYiKZpRX7W
"You're dismissed."copyright protection49PENANA99Y2WvpTfP
Bowing at the waist as their boss took his leave, Evren straightened once the man had gone as well as the firing squad above them. Lowering his gaze momentarily, he walked towards the door, stopping only when the raven grabbed him by the shoulder.copyright protection49PENANAQWDl4Ifv8d
"Ev-"copyright protection49PENANANodEkMvLab
"Get over it." Shrugging the hand away, the white-haired officer walked to the door. "I'm being reassigned."copyright protection49PENANA9KCa8QZ2wq

"There's nothing you can do."copyright protection49PENANAfXtZkN7Qdl

"Nothing!" Walking out into the hall, he combed his fingers through his hair before dropping his hand back to his side. "My out-processing paper will be on your desk no later than tomorrow afternoon."copyright protection49PENANAo135LSdkpO
Hurrying down the hall to catch up to his teammate, Tyson spun him around, only to be pushed away. "Ren-"copyright protection49PENANApFUZ2qQQ2v
"Don't call me that."copyright protection49PENANAHoTQsMCIsK

"Just don't!" Holding up a hand, Evren shook his head slowly as he backed away from the other. "We're not supervisor and subordinate; we're no longer coworkers."copyright protection49PENANAL0hCfC7b7X
"Ren-"copyright protection49PENANAgjlYkLcKQf
"We're not even friends! If anything, this is my chance to get away from you and your excessive and unprofessional displays of affection!"

"Evren-"copyright protection49PENANARQZKDcRLzv
"Just leave me alone!" Hearing the bulbs shatter, Evren bowed his head as he clenched a fist at his side. "I'm going to start my out-processing now. In that time, please, just leave me alone. The quicker I do this, the quicker I can leave this place and start over." Pulling a shard of glass from his hair, he watched the thin, red rivulet of blood run down his finger before casting it aside. "I'll leave and you will receive a new teammate.copyright protection49PENANAhDh80Mv3Pp

"Where'd that brat go?"copyright protection49PENANAJumbi4uMNz
Looking over the ledge of crumbling high rise, dark brown eyes watched as the duo walked along the old, unkempt lane. Following from the roof, Calix stepped down onto a stone gargoyle before dropping to a ledge a story or so below.copyright protection49PENANA8pJytb2fF7
Staggering as a sharp yet fleeting pain shot down his side, the raven held onto the ledge as he cradled the affected area. Taking one then two steps, the teen walked off the ledge before grabbing hold of an old power line, stopping his descent several stories from the street below him. Swinging over to grab a flag staff, he dropped down the ground before having his knees buckle beneath him.copyright protection49PENANAM03zo1Rhc9
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Cal tensed before picking up his head to see the redhead staring down at him.copyright protection49PENANAam1XgaY0hG
"Did your dumbass fall off a building or something?"copyright protection49PENANAgHiRxIShKo
"Yes, I fell from one story to another story if that's what you're implying, you smug bastard," came the snarky reply. "Now help me up before Will-"copyright protection49PENANAJBI3OC5qPY

"Nothing," he said, getting to his feet in fluid motion. "I'm fine, W-"copyright protection49PENANAqeroTA326s
Grabbing the raven by the sleeve of his jacket, Renyx scowled as the teen winced. "Stop hopping all over the damn place. You weren't even released more than three days ago."copyright protection49PENANAGIxHPR01Mw
"I'm fine," Calix groused, wrenching his arm free.copyright protection49PENANAJaOPGELZIY

"I'm fine."copyright protection49PENANAc1zPRNJBiM
"Your old man asked us to keep an eye on you and you go running off the first chance you get!" Tawny eyes locked onto the narrowed brown ones. "Sit your happy butt somewhere and relax! You're not invincible!"copyright protection49PENANAVEk6sXEC01
"I know that!" Cal then grabbed his side. "I know, ok? I'll…take it easy."copyright protection49PENANAtzw3kCAJkZ
"That's right!"copyright protection49PENANA5RS7PKjVKN
Punching the older man in the arm, Will then lowered her friend's hand in favor of looking at the bandages that were beginning to come undone. "CL, did you take your meds today."copyright protection49PENANAy1VcdAIEkN
"They make me sleepy."copyright protection49PENANAxr3ZQXc5ch
To that, the female raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"copyright protection49PENANAwkKmFWcyvA
"Well…they make me…" Will narrowed her eyes. "…sleepy?"copyright protection49PENANAOkyB0clQbo
Rifling through her own pocket, she pulled out two different colored pills. "Will figured you wouldn't take them on your own." Cal made a face. "You're gonna worry him to death. Take them and stop being so damn stubborn."copyright protection49PENANA7ZNGHX5Exw

"You wouldn't dare," Calix shot back.copyright protection49PENANAYlcPJ1FiNH
"Try me."copyright protection49PENANAoX2Q9UOCRA
Scowling momentarily, the raven snatched the medication from his friend before popping them into his mouth. Glancing at the redhead to see him holding a water bottle, Calix downed the whole container before staggering.copyright protection49PENANAdDWgkyfwGt
"I gotcha," Renyx said as he draped his friend's arm over his shoulder.copyright protection49PENANAidZmtptMoB
"Where are we going?"copyright protection49PENANA2ZuMXTV5rC
"Well, you're going back to go rest." The teen narrowed his eyes. "You need to rest. You're gonna put Mal in an early grave if you keep making him worry about you the way that you do!"copyright protection49PENANABHhUdwQWtT
Looking elsewhere, Calix grumbled to himself until they reached a boarded building. Seeing Will step up to it, card in hand, it didn't take long for the woman to get the door open just like everything else. After she tucked away the key, and the entrance slid shut behind them, Calix pulled away from Renyx in favor flopping over to the couch stationed nearby. Just as he was about to close his eyes, he wiggled around when he felt something moving beneath him. Arching his back a bit, he scooped his hand under him before pulling out SHU, who currently was hissing and growling up a storm.copyright protection49PENANAt1sVjLCC5g
"SHU, play nice," Will urged as the small bot hopped down and scampered towards her. "As for you CL…" She turned to see him passed out on the couch. "…never mind."copyright protection49PENANAj5mNu6eP3e
"Hey, Will?"copyright protection49PENANAZKEln0jnOF

"I know you don't but he's not going to get any better if he keeps moving around the way that he is."copyright protection49PENANA7q2OY1Xu03
Combing a hand through his mohawk, Renyx walked towards a side door with Will at his heels. Coming outside, he lit a cigarette as he leaned against the wall simply to have his friend snub the thing out.copyright protection49PENANA3AdHWRi1s5
"Will-"copyright protection49PENANAxx3mSCPDvF
"Killing your lungs isn't going to help anything, you know?" Tawny eyes averted themselves. "C'mon," she said. "He's gonna be fine. He always is."copyright protection49PENANADjIYcBZxK8
"Always, huh?" The woman shrugged. "Ok, fine. Whatever," he said as he lit another cigarette.copyright protection49PENANA3hnhEmfQvq
"That's seven minutes off your life."copyright protection49PENANAgDjv9dJnSn
Having the thing snatched away to be snubbed out once again, Renyx narrowed his eyes at the woman before sighing in frustration. "Shall we continue?"copyright protection49PENANAjhMmddIWCr
"I thought you'd never ask, Renyx." She then rocked on her heels before pushing herself from the wall. "Now then, let's get going. We have a lot of work to do before tomorrow night."copyright protection49PENANAzpTbOm6FIw
