M!SFIT & THE MASK - Wrench x Reader

CHAPTER TWO: FRIEND OR FOE?

MARCUS POV:

~Back at the Hackerspace~

Sitara had managed to bandage up my leg, whilst Wrench was still out trying to steal the USB from the hacker I ran into back at Haum's depo. As much as I hated to admit it she had serious skills, and it's a shame she's working against Dedsec because we could seriously use someone like her.

I laid upon the couch to rest my leg whilst Sitara was over at her station, near the oodles of spray paints and her graphic printer, casually scrolling through her phone. Josh on the other hand was where he usually was, slouched over at his desk peeling through lines of code at his monitor.

It had been an hour or so before Wrench rushed down the stairs into the hackerspace. I perked up with haste from the couch to look in his direction.

Marcus: "Yo! Did you get it?"

Wrench: "Yea I got it, but there's something.....else." He replied in a uncomfortable tone, walking towards me.

Marcus: "Else? What else?"

Wrench: "I'll explain once we have a look at what's on this drive." He replied before walking away.

I followed his direction limping towards Josh's station. Sitara caught wind of our conversation and followed as well, with now all of us huddling around Josh as he plugged the drive into his computer.

Josh: "Guys there's nothing on here."

Myself and Sitara had scoffed in disappointment at Josh's reply, the atmosphere tensed in the Hackerspace. Wrench suddenly slammed his hands down on Josh's desk making him scarcely jump in his seat.

Wrench: "FUCK ME!. I knew she wouldn't just give up the drive like that." He yelled flinging his hands up as he paced away from the desk, his mask now showing angry slants on his LED eyes ( \ / ).

Josh: "Wait. There's an encrypted file on here." He replied before racing his fingers through the keyboard to try and decrypt the file.

Sitara and I returned our gaze back to Josh's monitor before turning back to Wrench, who was angrily pacing back and forth with his hands clenched in fists.

Marcus: "Wrench calm down, tell us what happend. How did you end up getting the drive?"

Wrench stopped his pacing with a huff before reciting the events of what happened between him and the hacker.

Wrench: "Ok, I followed her to some shitty abandoned warehouse in Oakland but when I was trying to scope her out on the roof, she got the drop on me. Told me she wants to do a trade with Dedsec, and that she'd give us the Haum data if we gathered some information for her."

Sitrara: "A trade? what type of information is she asking for?"

Wrench: "All the info we can find on some hacker tag named X3N0, and any other of their affiliates." He paused before resting his hands on his hips.

Sitara: "We're not giving her shit. Especially not after what she did to Marcus, and not only that but if whoever's info she's asking for is a Dedsec follower...it's not gonna happen." She scoffed.

Wrench: "No their not, I checked. When I asked her about why she wanted the info.....she said she had a lead on a black-hat named X3N0. He was selling spyware access to the congressional and personal data of U.S delegates, who were opting to vote against further installation of CTOS. But get this.....she found out that Blume was the one buying that information, and Dusan was using it to blackmail the delegates into changing their vote."

Marcus: "What?? How the hell did she find that out?"

Sitara: "Yea, and how do we know if she's telling the truth??. For all we know she could be lying by pulling on our vendetta against Blume, just so she can get what she wants."
