Adam & Eva (Oban Star Racers, Eva/Molly x Male OC) [On Hiatus]

In like Flint

Jordan narrating: "I knew this race would be tough, but I didn't expect anything like this. I crashed in the first race, and the preselections left us without our main pilot. Adam, our mechanic, was supposed to take Rick's place, but he broke his wrist during test runs. That left us without a pilot. Or so I thought.

Molly: "No, Jordan, we can still win this race!"

Adam: "Either with or without you. So?"

Jordan narrating: "It was a miracle we won the rematch. but our performance didn't convince Don Wei, the Earth team manager. Now, I don't know what the deal is between Don Wei and Molly, but they seem to have a real communication problem. Maybe Adam will know, I have to ask him"

*3rd POV*

Don Wei is in his office, currently calling President McMullen

Don: "Mr. President, we have made it through the first round of the preselections. But it was sheer luck. The irresponsible gamble of a reckless girl"

President: "Hm..."

Don: "It's a painful decision to make, but without Rick or Adam we have no choice but to withdraw from the competition"

President: "That's impossible"

Don: "Mr. President, she's just a young girl. She's not a pilot. I cannot condone this"

President: "You should know that withdrawing from the competition at this stage could bring about the total destruction of the Earth Coalition, the end for more than 16 billion people"

Don: "You never explained that the situation was so... desperate"

President: "That's classified information. I told you what you needed to know when you needed to know it. Today I can tell you this. The outcome of the great Race of Oban will radically transform the balance of power within our galaxy"

Don: "Hm"

President: "Therefore you must lead the team as far as possible. Is that clear?"

*timeskip*

Don walks in front of Eva's room and opens the door with closed eyes

Don: "*sigh* Molly" he looks at bed, seeing it's empty "Huh?"

Don exits the room and walks down the stairs, where Jordan drinks his morning coffee

Don: "Up early, I see. Where's your teammate hiding?"

Jordan: "You mean Molly or Adam? I have no idea, Molly just ran off and Adam followed her"

Don: "Molly must be found immediately!" Jordan looks at him, shocked

Jordan: "Huh?"

Don: "We have a race to prepare for, do we not?" Jordan brightens up and stands up

Jordan: "Are you serious? Thank you very much" he gives Don his coffee "Here, I will find them both right away" he runs down the stairs, only to crash into a tank, before continuing to run

*Adam POV*

I lost Eva somewhere in the crowd

Adam: "Damn it!"

???: "I see you lost your, friend" I jump, scared, and turn around to see Satis

Adam: "Satis! Don't scare me like that"

Satis: "Forgive me, I did not intend to scare you" He looks at me "I see something is troubling you and your friend"

Adam: "*sigh* All because of her dad. He doesn't remember her and treats her like garbage. I sometimes regret getting here with her"
