The Virus Stealer

10 - Repair. [REWRITTEN]

Jason runs his fingers with the mask that was given to him. The metal was scratched from Jacob's previous time in battle with this mask. The green visor looks worn, but looking closely, the visor can light up in the dark, but in its current condition, he wouldn't be seeing that anytime soon.

"Maybe it's time to polish this," Jason said, examining the mask.

And so he did. He got himself a bottle of vinegar, olive oil, some water and some cloth to rub over the thick metal that is part of the mask.

It wouldn't get rid of any scratches but he can make it gleam and make it look new.

First, he would dip his mask in the water, then soak his cloth with olive oil and scrub his mask to get rid of any streaks. After that, he dips his cloth in water and then soaks his cloth with vinegar to get rid of any rust that would be on the sides of the mask.

Because the mask was more clear and less dusty and rusty, he notices a little switch on top of the visor. He would flip the switch which causes the entire visor to open, revealing wires.

"So this is how the visor works, er- what the hell?" The wiring inside was rather unique. There were loops of wires, circuit boards, a little motherboard with a missing processor and some other parts that are hard to identify "How hardcore is this Nathan guy, what the hell?"

So he decided to show it to Jacob.

"Oh yeah, this does look like the work of Nathan," Jacob said, examining the inside of the visor with his glasses on. "Missing processor, some wires are fried, missing batteries," and so he mumbles.

"Can we get this working?" Jason ask.

"I don't know," Jacob said. He would take off his glasses. "No ordinary engineer can just repair this. Nathan was a special nerd," he chuckles.

"Well, how can we get a 'special' nerd?" Jason sigh.

"Well, I know a place here in StarLights that we can go that is filled with nerds. I happen to know a special one," Jacob would slowly give a sinister smile.

"Stop it, you're scaring me,"

So both of them would dress up and pack their stuff. Jason wearing his black jeans and brown leather jacket with a red t-shirt underneath. He decided to pack his one strap backpack so he can bring some stuff just in case they do find this 'special nerd," and have full mobility at the same time.

A knock was heard from the door, revealing Setsuko with her ripped blue jeans and a white v-collar shirt, her hair braided. If Jason leans to a specific angle, he might be able to see her breasts.

That's probably just his inner demon kicking in, literally.

"God damn, she looks sexy as hell," he thought, gulping.

"Hey, what's up?" said Jason, trying to play it off.

Nice one. Very slick.

"You guys going out? Mind if I come with?"

"Did you ask Jacob?"

"He told me to ask you," she smiles. What is her plan? Why ask Jason?

"I honestly don't know where we are going but if you want to come then that's fine with me. I'll get a helmet for you," he smiles, nodding.

He nods to himself when he plays himself well with the ladies.

It's the only woman that he talked to after five years after all.

"We are going on your bike?" Her smile only got brighter. "I'll get my jacket!" And then she ran off.

Jason would smile at the sight of Setsuko. He would grab his leather gloves for his bike and his backpack before leaving his room to meet up with Jacob.
