The German agent was walking down the corridor to join her colleagues in the cafeteria. Before entering, she glanced left and right as she had a strange impression. She kept looking behind her as the door of the cafeteria opened and she walked inside. Pheonix and Raze greeted her while they were eating their breakfast.

"Good morning," she said back and went to make herself a cup of coffee. She crossed her arms and glanced once more towards the corridor. Pheonix and Raze both stared at her and nodded as if understanding her puzzled look. "Are they not around lately? I haven't heard a single yelling for four entire days."

"Well, [A/n] came back from her mission two days ago and as far as I know they should be around," Phoenix said, his eyes glued to his phone. 

Raze rested her cup on the kitchen counter and spoke up. "Maybe one killed the other."

"He better not have killed my singing partner," Pheonix stepped in, annoyed at the thought, looking up for a brief moment. 

Killjoy leaned on the wall next to the coffee machine, pondering. "I'm pretty sure I saw lights on very late last night at her workshop."

"Nothing surprising," Breach said as he walked in. "The girl practically never sleeps."

They all nodded in agreement. However, something was still bothering the engineer. She thought she heard two people talking at the workshop. "I'm pretty sure she wasn't alone."

"Are they finally getting along?" Pheonix wondered and laughed soon after. "Nevermind. Seems impossible to me."

"Well, I did bump into Chamber earlier," Breach went on the subject, "he seemed to have been carrying food for two while heading towards [A/n]'s workshop."

All eyes turned to him in disbelief. Was it a miracle? they wondered. "Jeez. I know someone would be happy to hear that," Phoenix said, chuckling as he imagined Brimstone's grin seeing these two being friends.

They continued to talk among themselves as more people came in and came out. Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the base. They all jumped, the sudden loud noise, if they were still sleepy until now, fully awoke them,  as Killjoy almost dropped her mug. Everyone's eyes turned to one agent that was usually the cause of this type of noise around here. Raze shrugged, laughing awkwardly, not even sure if she was the culprit. Then, a familiar loud voice could be heard where the explosion had resonated before. And another, unusually loud. They almost missed their heated conversation. Killjoy sighed and decided to check on them, her mug in hand. 

When she reached her destination, Brimstone and Sage were already there. Smokes were pouring out of the door from the armory, letting escape a horrible smell. Killjoy pinched her nose and came closer to the two agents to see [F/n] covered in soot and Chamber, surprisingly clean. All of them were glaring down at the small agent who was crossing her arms, her cheeks red from embarrassment.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Surprisingly, it was Chamber who rose his voice. The man who was all about keeping up appearances seemed to himself have lost his patience. And for a good reason.

"I'm sorry, okay? I wanted to try out something," the culprit admitted, looking at the ground. Chamber clicked his tongue and tried to compose himself again. "I thought I could make a mini grenade launcher."

Brimstone sighed at her explantation. "They are big for one reason."

"I know!" she exclaimed. "But that's so inconvenient! Might as well search for another-"
