Wicked (MaskedMexican)

Chapter 37 - Agreements

~Ohm's POV~

"Sergeant Ohmwrecker originally rumored to be involved with Governor Bella turns out to be his son. In an interesting turn of events files have been leaked by none other than the Derp Crew about Ryan Bella's hidden persona as Sergeant Ohmwrecker, the incredibly successful sergeant. Not only was he the second in command and highly regarded with the Captain Gassy, who he was also rumored to be involved with in the past, he has had the highest successful rate in missions count. This same Ryan has left his parents' home and sheltered with the Derp Crew who leaked the files about him leading to the suspicion he himself had a part in leaking his own information. While many are supportive of the sergeant there are few politicians who disagree with his lies and believe he no longer has a place with his parents to begin with. Despite few protesters the supporters tower over the protesters both as the rebels along with several politicians. Several reporters have asked him to come out and speak with the press but no one has been able to get a hold of him. For now we only have his statement that he does support the Derp Crew and it may seem he still does despite the leak of his information. Now let's turn to Senator Marylin's opinion on her son's rebellion-"

"I was watching that," Ze complains as I just shrug and toss him the remote so he could just turn it back on to find my mom's face in tears, the reason I wanted it off. Everyone is making a huge deal about this and strangely I've been gaining a positive fame. To be honest I was only half sure that I would get positive feedback, which meant I was also half sure that I'd get negative feedback. Whichever way it would have been, either my family gets away unscathed or the Derp Crew gets more fame and support while improving my own career. Whatever way it is, I got it leaked before my parents. If it were dad who leaked it my reputation would have immediately gone negatively as the ungrateful son who left the nice life for ugly military life. Instead, releasing every detail allows everyone to see the completely unbiased truth.

Although it was a good development, I'm literally trapped in this apartment until the whole thing has died over which will be at best months. By that time the Derp Crew should already have moved out, leaving me to fend for myself searching for a place to just stay in the safety. The large amount of information of me given out has both of my parents struggling to make all of the interviews and even Gassy has been on high demand on the news. Everytime he were up on the news he'd just answer honestly unless I told him to leave something out, mainly about our relationship. Although it's obvious since a majority of the base knew about us by the time we left and they've been continually chatting so making him remain silent about it doesn't really help. The image on the television flicks away from mom's fake tears to the man I had just been thinking of. He's so... clean and made up.

His mouth is moving and he's saying something I don't have the attention span or interest to listen to. I've heard him talk millions of times before all about the same thing, about our companionship in the base and about how close we were even if we weren't lovers. Before that even happened I had helped him with half of his work anyways so we were close no matter what our love life was like. He's been working so hard, having to deal with all of this press and even dealing with them in the most positive way he can. It's almost unsettling how good he seems to be at this, considering I don't believe he's had the experience, at least outside of the usual visits he has to pay dad every once in a while. More than the talking about me in the base, he also serves as the only person who is in contact with me so press even presses him just to borrow his phone and have me answer questions as well. I'm honestly surprised dad hasn't gotten permission to take his phone and track down mine but that would be two violations in taking Gassy's possession, and tracking me with no real crime I have done. I was sure he'd find some way to get around that and yet nobody has stampeded in here yet to kidnap me back. Instead our days are spent peacefully, laying around and playing video games. It reminds me of my break times I always spent with the creatures and Minx. Gassy smiles and nods to the press as they continue to throw questions in his direction as he steps out of the room ignoring every one of them. The image goes back to the news lady beginning the development of rumors like always.
