Chapter 3: New Guy In Town

Velvet got on a respirator and put an emergency one in her duffel bag, along with a crowbar and drill. She pulled it onto her shoulders and got close to the door of the bunker, sighing and opening it. Valentino stopped her when she started walking up the stairs, "Hey, Velvet, don't. We can just wait for that new guy, then we can send him, or at the least send you both there. He should be coming soon, just relax, don't run around with that wound, not to mention what the storm will do to it. We don't need anyone else to die." Velvet opened her mouth but, a glare from Scarlett and a stare from Valentino, she let out a puff of air and walked back inside, Sasha looking at her with a curious look, "Lemme guess, they didn't let you leave?", "Val, yes, Scarlett? Just glaring at me. I hate her. She barely works as a team, and doesn't communicate. At least, not with anyone other then those demonic weirdos, and they certainly don't relay anything to us or help asides from combat." Sasha just nodded and pat the seat of the chair next to her, and Velvet sat down, silent now.

It had been a few hours, Velvet's wound was still healing, and it was better then before, but it still hurt and bled. Sasha took Scarlett's role of guarding after an hour, causing Velvet to go to the complete other side of the room then Scarlett and her shadows and glare at the latter. After that, Scarlett takes the place of Valentino, and Velvet scoots up close to him, letting out  a huff, "Heya V Two. Thank goodness you came in, I hate her and her.. freaks. You gotta find it weird, using corpses and turning them into Shadows and making them kill, right Valentino?" He nodded, "Yeah, it's weird, but it sure as hell helps a whole lot, we need all the hands we can get after Laz got done in, even if the hands are rotting. Just ignore them, and keep relaxed, you still have a stab wound." Velvet sighed in response, relaxing against Valentino's side. Valentino chuckles and puts a hand on her dirty white hair before they both startle due to Sasha opening the door and yelling, "Oi, you two, the new guy's here! Named George or something, c'mon and greet him," sounding cheerful now. The two dusted themselves off and Velvet follows Valentino up the steps. When they got up, they were greeted by a Berserker surrounded by Scarlett's Shadows, the former greeting the two walking up, "Hello! Mind calling off your woman's minions? I'd like to have a seat, I had a pretty bumpy ride here." Velvet looked at Valentino, the latter shrugging and starting to talk, "Alright Scarlett, let them go, let's bring em into the bunker and help him get geared up.." The Shadows move to the side and stand near Scarlett, who still had a dubious look on her face from the Berserker, who walked into the bunker followed closely by Valentino. Sasha leaned against the wall, opening a can of Soda and drinking it down almost entirely, sitting it down nearby. Velvet got closer to Sasha and shivered from the cold of the storm due to not wearing her armor, the latter looking at Velvet with a curious look and talking, "Y'know, nobody knows if you're a human or not, Velvet, that skin color sure ain't super normal, and neither is your blood, but you act human and have human bodily reactions. Are you a person, or some kinda Servo, or what?" Velvet shook her head, and started walking to the stairs and quietly talking, "Yeah, human. Human. I'll go meet the new guy, hope you don't get too cold. Cya." She waked down the stairs and into the bunker, closing the door behind her. Inside the warm room, she sat near George, who had a water bottle in his hand and a sledgehammer near his feet. He was laughing and talking with Valentino and gesturing towards White Shirt occasionally, saying stuff about how odd he looks and how he acts, but all sounding like it was in a good-natured tone. He waved to Velvet and smiled at her, and initiated a conversation with her about the surgical modifications done to some agents, like her Eyepiece, and didn't once mention Velvet looking like a robot & human, which she certainly liked to see from a guy who's new. George was a black male, wearing black and white clothes with a militaristic vest on top, along with some Berserker vials showing in one of the pockets. He wore a purple agent eyepiece, a white face mask, and a black cap on his head. After talking for a while with everyone, Valentino gets up and takes guard duty over for Sasha, and she has a conversation about heavy tier weapons with George, who seemed to be getting friendly with everyone already. Valentino and Scarlett heard a whistling kind of sound and a heavy thump. The former ran over and, sighing happily, dragged a crate of supplies in through the broken open gate; they were designated as combative supplies. Everyone got out of the bunker, and Velvet was the one to crack it open with a crowbar, showing off the few SMGs they got, plenty of ammo for them, and a toolbox marked as a repair kit. They got all that stuff over to the bunker and back of the fort, and everyone got a big morale boost. They'll be ready in case any of the scavs try and get in again, if only if the storm went away.. speaking of, they see the snowy fog start to dissipate and the temperature raise a bit. Uh oh.
