"Kyle, I do not understand what you want me to do. There is literally nothing to report on, except all the Eggmen are idiots and really need a costume change." Ellie spat. If she was going to be forced to work, she wanted something worthwhile. She had standards.

Bradford spoke for Kyle. "You are in no position to speak back and I thought you would know that by now." He glared at Kyle while he said that before looking back at Ellie. "For your information, the Eggmen's uniforms were designed by the top of the line," that was a lie. "And if you want something to do soooo badly, you're teamed up with Blot. He handles the idiots." Poor Blot. "And he'll make sure you won't be going anywhere."

Fucking hell. The poor guy wanted to work alone! Now he was just the babysitter of the group?! Oh well... he thought Pepper was pretty cool but that was about it. Phantom Blot walked towards Ellie but didn't say anything to her. Bradford and Kyle walked away from them so they could work on F.O.W.L. shit.

By the looks of him, Ellie could already tell she was going to hate him.

"It is not Halloween you know." Damn. Roasting him off the bat.

"This isn't a costume." Blot snapped back. Dude was just pure void. Don't question it. He crossed his arms and glared at her. "Go bother Pepper. She would appreciate your company more than I would."

"No. I would rather deal with you than deal with that." Pepper may have been nice to Ellie and made her feel good for a split second, but she was still annoying overall. "What do you do around here? Execute people?" That sounded pretty fun actually.

"That's none of your business. Now go away." Blot shooed her away so he could get back to doing whatever the hell he liked to do in his free time. Probably watch Game of Thrones.

Ellie frowned before storming off. As strange as it sounded, she preferred to be back in Las Vegas with Kyle. It was easy to do what he said and follow directions without causing trouble, but now she had to deal with way more people that made her want to strangle kittens, and she had no direction and no idea what to do. She was used to being bossed around 24/7 and now she had freetime...? Free time with no escape either. So that sucked even more.

She checked the elevators to see if guards were there. There was so that was a no go; she settled on walking around, while avoiding Pepper, until she bumped into an unfamiliar Eggmen. Not that she knew any of them besides Pepper.

"Excuse me?! You were in my path of walking so move!"

Holy shit! It didn't take Future Gloria any time at all to find Ellie! Bitch was just waltzing around F.O.W.L headquarters like she ran the place! She didn't look like she was imprisoned!

Future Gloria was able to do the cliche, knock a guard out and take their outfit thing. The guard being an eggman. It was perfect because the outfit covered her entire body and the majority of her face! "Oh. My bad." Gloria did her best to alter her voice but it kinda sucked. She stepped out of Ellie's way but made sure to follow her as she walked. Totally not stalking her.

It didn't take Ellie long to notice. She whipped around and glared at Gloria. "Will you stop that?!"

Before Gloria could respond, none other than Pepper herself peeped around the corner. Her eyes lit up when she saw Ellie.

"HEY NEW BEST FRIEND!" Pepper tackled- I mean, hugged Ellie. "READY TO DO MORE PAPERWORK! I think F.O.W.L paperwork is just the BEST!"

Gloria just stared at the two. She had no idea who the other egg person was and now Ellie is working for F.O.W.L?! I mean, she knew Ellie was lowkey evil but joining F.O.W.L?! WHAT?!
