Reagan woke up on her cold hard lab floor, but she felt the embrace of warmth too. It was Brett, she smiled knowing it was him who was holding her. He slept soundly, but then Reagan remembered something, she confessed how she felt to him last night! And now they're a couple. Reagan thought about how nice it was to finally express how she really felt though. She carefully got out of his arms, and got up, she went out of the lab to get some coffee and left Brett to his sleeping. After a few minutes of waiting near the coffee machine, Reagan got her coffee and went off to her lab again. She typed the code on the pad and walked in. She saw that Brett had woken up and he was also trying to fix his tie. "Brett? Do you need some help?" She asked him out of nowhere, which kinda spooked Brett. "Ah! Oh, Ray-Ray! Uhh, yeah, my tie isn't cooperating with me." Reagan giggled a bit and went over to him. "Let me see if I can do it." She said, and Brett let her help by crouching down to her height. "Uh, yeah, Brett you tied it the wrong way." She said, and Brett lightly slapped his face. "Oh, that's why! I was half awake when I tried fixing it." He told her, and Reagan fixed his tie. "There, you're welcome." She said with a bit of pride, she's only ever helped her dad with tying a tie and it was good to know she still remembered how to do it. "Thank you Ray-Ray!" Brett said and kissed her forehead. Reagan was slightly flustered after his sudden action, "O-oh, uh... Yeah, no problem." Reagan looked at the floor, she barely got any affection like that when she was younger, and she appreciated the small affections Brett did. Brett smiled and said, "Hey, do you wanna know a secret Ray-Ray?" Reagan looked back up at him and nodded, though she was a bit skeptical. "I thought that if I ever confessed to you, you'd hate me, so that's why I never did it first." Brett told Reagan, this took her aback a bit because she would never wanna hate Brett. The only time she ever did was when he first got the job. "Jeez, Brett. I wouldn't have hated you and even if I didn't feel the same way, I would've rejected you gently." But Reagan then remembered that she also had that feeling too, though it was more like she'd ruin the friendship and then Brett would hate her. That was only a one-time thought, because she thought about Brett, he could never hate anyone, unless it was someone who hurt the people he loved. "That's good to know! I guess I was just overthinking again." He said and turned his head away. "Well, Brett. I actually had the same feeling that you would hate me too, though I did give it a second thought." Brett was confused, "Ray-Ray, I would never hate you either! Where did you come up with that idea?" He asked, Reagan sighed. "I guess I was just worried about losing you as a friend and a co-worker." Brett put his hand on her shoulder lightly, "You'll never lose me, Ray-Ray." He assured her, making Reagan not feel threatened with his hand directly touching her shoulder. Reagan smiled, "Oh, right. Brett I don't want you to tell the team we're in a relationship." Brett was about to walk out the door, but he stopped and looked at Reagan. "How come?" He asked, "Well, it's just that I'm not ready to tell them I'm in another relationship again. They don't even know what happened to Staedtler!" Reagan exclaimed, Brett was understanding and promised to not tell the team about them being a thing. Reagan thanked him and they went out of her lab. As they were walking down the hallway, Brett was contemplating whether he should ask Reagan if they could hold hands, though he decided not to because anybody could be walking near them in the hallway and they would see them holding hands and know they were together. Reagan and Brett finally got to the war room and before Reagan opened the door, she said, "Don't say or do anything that could make a suspicion that we're together, got it?" Brett nodded, "Yes ma'am! But does this mean I can't call you Ray-Ray?" Reagan thought about it and questioned, "Have you told anyone in the team that you only give nicknames to your partners?" Brett shook his head no, "Well, even if you haven't, it would still be suspicious if you randomly started calling me by a nickname out of the blue. So, no you can't call me Ray-Ray." Brett looked down and made a saddish noise, she thought it was cute and told him, "Aw, don't worry, Brett. You can still call me that when you're only around me." She smiled. Brett sighed and agreed, she opened both doors and Gigi was the first to speak, "Aw! Look who came in! The two lovebirds." Reagan was extremely confused, nobody knew anything about them loving each other, and they were always platonic around each other! How in the hell could Gigi know anything if nobody knew?! Unless... Myc, she thought. "Lovebirds? Gigi, how the fuck do you know about me and Brett?! Myc! Did you tell them all?!" She asked shouting, "Calm down Reagan, jeez I was definitely smart when I nicknamed you the loud one. But don't worry, I might've known about both of your little secrets, but I told myself you two would blossom naturally and I left it alone." Reagan calmed down a bit after he said that, but If Myc didn't tell them, then who did? "Wow, sweetheart, accusing Myc of telling everyone here about your crush on Brett? Classic! But it wasn't him hun, it was your robot." Gigi said to her, this made Reagan even more pissed than she was before. "What?! GOD DAMNIT ALPHABETA!" She screamed, she felt like punching a wall and that scream scared the living shit out of Brett and he screeched. "When the fuck did he tell all of you about us?!" She said with her death stare, at the beginning of when Reagan fell in love with Brett she asked Alphabeta to not tell anybody she felt that way, and now that he broke that promise she was gonna throw him into a lake. "An hour ago, and then he left. We also know about Staedtler." Andre added, that was the final straw for Reagan, now she didn't wanna just throw Alphabeta into a lake, she wanted to rip every piece of her life's work out of him. "You know, what? I'm fucking done with all these surprises! I'm gonna rip every single piece out of Alphabeta till he's gone!" She shouted and started to walk back down the hallway, Brett got worried and shouted to Reagan down the hall. "Ray-Ray, aren't you supposed to look after the team?!" She turned back to him while walking backward, "Brett! Just take care of them yourself! I have a fucking robot to destroy." She turned back and ran down the hallway. Brett was already stressed out by the commotion that was going on, but now he has to lead the team?! The last time he did that, everything got all screwed up! At least for him. Brett turned back to the office and Andre asked, "Did you just call her Ray-Ray?" Brett sighed, "Yes, is there a problem?" He asked back. Andre went sorta quiet and started playing with his fingers. "Alright, well since Ray-Ray told me to take care of you all, I will do just that!" He said as he closed the door and walked to the front of the table. "Alright, hunny! Quick question though." Gigi said, Brett looked down at her with curiosity. "Did you get less attractive after you started dating Reagan?" She asked, this made Brett so done with everyone talking shit about Reagan and their relationship. "Gigi, can you just be quiet till Reagan gets back? Please and thank you." He said with a smile even though he was a bit irritated, Gigi was a little surprised by his command, but she nodded and stayed quiet. Back with Reagan, she paced all around Cognito Inc. to find Alphabeta, but she couldn't find him anywhere. "God damnit! Where the fuck are you Alphabeta?!" She shouted out in the hall. "Looking for me?" A voice said behind her, she swooped around and saw Alphabeta. "You!" She said and stomped over to him. "You fucking asshole! I told you to keep that shit a secret and you told the team like it was nothing!" She was raging, she was so ready to take him apart bit by bit. "You never said anything about telling them after you two started to date." Reagan didn't care and kept yelling, "That doesn't fucking count! God, I can't believe I trusted my own robot to keep a secret. Y'know what? This is gonna be your own fault for me doing this to you." She told him, "Wait, what-" He said, and then she ripped off one of his arms, she knew couldn't fully destroy her life's work so she partly destroyed it. "God, I feel better already, you do not deserve this damn arm!" She said angrily. "How dare you, you'd destroy your life's work for a guy? Give me back my arm!" She lifted his arm up in the air, "Not a chance asshole! This is your consequence, and I don't care that much for you to not rip off your arm." She started to walk backward and said, "Have fun with having only one arm!" She turned around and walked over to where the trashcan was, she threw it in there and buried it. She headed back to the war room, she got there, and was in front of the doors, she sighed and opened them up. "And-" Brett was speaking and he noticed Reagan was back, "Ray-Ray! You're back! So how did it go?" He asked her. "I ripped off one of his arms." She said with a smirk, "Damn, girl! You really destroyed your life's work?" Gigi asked, "I sure fucking did! And Brett, what are you doing? Isn't that supposed to be the mission we're going on?" Reagan questioned Brett and he nodded, "Yeah! I read through some of your notes. Would like to finish off?" Reagan nodded and he handed her the folder, he sat down and she asked him. "Where did you leave off, Brett?" "The last part! Where we had to assassinate some of the bad reptilians!" He said with confidence and Reagan read the last few sentences about how the mission will go. They all got weapons and Reagan got the helicopter ready, "Okay, everyone has their weapon, correct?" Reagan turned around and asked and they all said yes. "Good, now, I'm going to put us all into two-person groups." They all knew she banned groaning so they just stayed quiet and listened, "Gigi, you go with Andre, Myc goes with Glenn, and me and Brett will stick together." Gigi rolled her eyes, "Pfft, obviously you put yourself with Brett." Reagan's eye twitched a bit, "Yeah, because he's reasonable to work with unlike all of you." Reagan then pulled out the folder of the 3 reptilians they needed to kill. "Now, remember, each team has their own reptilian to assassinate, got it?" They all said yes once again, and they got to their location. Reagan landed the helicopter in a big dark alleyway so they wouldn't be seen. They all got out their weapons and separated. Meanwhile, with Brett and Reagan, they were inside the building, and Brett was shaken all over. "Brett, why are you so shaky? Cut it out." She whispered to him. "I'm just nervous, what if they come out of the blue?" He asked quietly, "I'll be ready, Brett. And you have to be too." She told him. They waited a few minutes later while walking around, but they couldn't find any sign of the reptilian. "Um, Ray-Ray? Are you sure the reptilian is on this part of the building?" He asked in his most quiet tone, "Yes, he has to be here. But there aren't any signs of him." She said frustrated, she looked up and saw that there was a vent that Brett could go through. She then took a headset out of her pocket and handed it to Brett, "Brett, I want you to put on this headset and go into that vent up there and tell me if you can find our reptilian." She explained softly. Brett nodded and put on the headset, he took off the register and Reagan caught it and put it on the floor. She put on her headset and took a hold of her gun again. She then heard some movement and hid against the wall. She suddenly saw a knife fly out of nowhere and it punctured the wall, she took some warning shots on the other side and a few more knives were thrown. She knew that this was the reptilian they were looking for because he liked throwing knives in the air. "Ray-Ray?! Is everything okay?" She heard Brett ask through the speaker, "Yeah! I just found our reptilian." She took some more shots and managed to shoot the reptilian in the head, his blue blood splashed out and onto Reagan's face. "Fuck yeah! We did it!" She said and Brett corrected her, "You did it Ray-Ray! Amazing job!" She was about to say thank you to him when she heard a gunshot. "Holy shit- Brett? Are you okay?!" She waited a few seconds for him to respond but nothing was said. "Fuck! Did he just fucking die on me?!" She didn't even know how far he was into the vent and she couldn't even save him. She ran out of the building and saw Gigi, "Gigi!" She looked up from her phone. "Oh, hey, hunny! You look like you've seen a ghost! You okay, girl?" Reagan shook her head, "No!! I think Brett just died on me!" She exclaimed. Gigi just laughed at her, "Died?! Ha, Reagan, that sweet boy could never die." Reagan got pretty pissed, "You don't know that! And where the hell is Andre?" Gigi shrugged, "He said he was going to do some dr×gs in the helicopter, so I just let him." Reagan slapped her own face, she was more worried about Brett being dead than Andre doing drugs. She only asked because she didn't want to have anyone else die. She didn't want to think that her boyfriend just died on a mission and she couldn't do anything about it. Reagan had her back faced the building with her heart pounding heavily and not in a good way till she heard a voice behind her, "Ray-Ray!" Brett shouted as he ran to her from the building, Reagan turned around so fast with the biggest, brightest smile she had ever on her face, "Brett!!" She said, knowing that Brett was alive made her so happy. Brett embraced her in a hug and Reagan said, "I'm so fucking glad you're okay, Brett!" She pulled away from the hug and asked, "What the hell happened back there? I thought you died!" She said with worry. "I didn't die? My connection to you got lost in the middle of the vent and it just kept getting smaller and smaller till I couldn't eventually move and I got stuck. But fortunately, Glenn was under me and he helped me get out of the vent!" Brett replied, Reagan sighed in relief knowing Brett was okay. She was not planning on losing him, not today, not ever. But before they could both say something, Gigi pitched in and said, "That's the biggest smile I've ever seen on your face, Reagan!" Reagan was confused till Gigi showed the photo she took of Reagan smiling, Reagan rolled her eyes and said. "Gigi, if you're going to post on your Instagram, don't. There's no reason, you got it?" She said, "Fine, fine, I won't post it on my Insta, promise." Reagan pointed her finger, "You better, I'm fucking sick of people breaking their promises with me." After that was discussed they got back on the helicopter and got back to Cognito Inc. Reagan and Brett decided they would just chill together in her lab till the night came.
