Generation Loss (COMPLETE!)

A Lead

"Listen Fury I want answers on this!" I shouted. We had been working on a case that had to do with a secret organization called Generation Loss or GenL for short, however, we barely had any information on the organization, which made trying to figure out their motives difficult. They had intense security that made it almost impossible to find any information on them. "We're trying our best to figure out the motives of Generation Loss Maria, you just need to be patient." Fury reminded me for the eighth time this week. "Nick, I need answers soon! We've been working on this case for months! Who knows what they could be planning? We can not risk making a single slip here!" I argued. "We understand Maria, trust us you'll be the first person to be told as soon as we find anything," Natasha assured. "Fine..." I huffed as I walked out of Fury's office. "I'm home!" I yelled as I closed the door and walked into the living room. Monika, who was sitting on the couch working on the code I asked her to help me fix earlier that morning, looked up and greeted me. "Hey, Maria, any updates about GenL yet?" Monika asked, closing her holo-screens. "Nada... Nothing... None... Zero... Zilch..." I sighed, placing my hat on the coat rack. "Don't worry Maria, something will come up eventually, come take a seat, aunt Kristen said lunch will be ready in a few minutes," Monika reassured me as she patted the spot on the couch next to her signaling for me to sit down. I sat down and sighed as I leaned against the couch cushions, holding my face in my hands. "How's that string of code coming? Not causing too many problems is it?" I asked as Monika returned to what she had been doing. "Not really, I'm almost done with the entire section." She smiled. "HOW?! It takes me an entire week just to finish one sequence of it?!" I questioned. "If you hadn't helped me and the girls out of that game I would just be an AI remember? I'm pretty experienced in this field." Monika reminded me. "True, true." I laughed. "Lunch is ready!" I heard Kristen call from the kitchen. "Coming mum!" Wilbur and Quackity darted out of the game room followed by a few others. "FOOD!" Tommy and Tubbo cried in unison as they slid down the railing. "What have I told you two about sliding down the railing?!" I scolded. "Sorry, Maria." Tubbo apologized. "Dish yourselves up everyone." Kristen smiled. "Thanks for lunch mum." Wilbur grinned as he sat down with his food. "Of course Wil." Kristen smiled. "Did anything happen while I was out?" I ask. "Micheal lost his first tooth." Tubbo shared as Michael showed off the gap in his teeth. "Oh my! Well isn't that exciting! I guess we're going to be having a visit from the tooth fairy tonight hmm?" I smile. "You're growing up so fast bud! What do you think she'll leave you?" Monika asked. Michael snorted twice as he grabbed a red bell pepper from his plate. "I don't speak Piglin..." Monika remembered, embarrassed. "He says he's hoping she leaves him some gold nuggets." Tubbo translated. "Oh! Well, I'm sure she'll be happy to give you some gold nuggets for your tooth." Monika smiled warmly. A holo-message notification appeared on the coffee table. "Everyone to the living room, please we have a holo-message!" I called. 

Once everyone was huddled around the coffee table I opened the message. "If you are seeing this you have been trusted with top secret information. Generation Loss or GenL for short is a secret organization that Shield has been investigating for the last three months. Not much has been discovered about the organization however we believe this is the symbol they are using to represent themselves." (The holo-message displayed the image used as the cover art.) "And that they are attempting to distort history by teaching history incorrectly. You will be notified when more information is found." The holo-message finished before promptly closing. "I'm gonna go hang out in the backyard if anyone needs me," Ranboo informed before teleporting away. "I'll go check on them," I stated as I stood up from my seat and walked to the back door to go outside. 

When I walked outside I saw Ranboo in a corner of the backyard hyperventilating. "Oh, my Irene Ranboo!" I ran up to them seeing they were falling into a panic attack. I thought quickly about how I could help ground them and prevent them from having an attack. "Ranboo tell me five things you see..." I held their shoulders. "Umm... You, the grass, the fence, the firepit, and the house..." They listed. "Okay, now four things you hear." I continued. "Your voice, birds, the wind, and cars." Ranboo closed his eyes. "Three things you feel?" I asked as Ranboo's breathing began to slow. "The ground underneath me, your hands on my shoulders, and the fence I'm leaning against." They continued. "And lastly two things you smell." I finished. "You're perfume and the smoke from the fire pit." Ranboo relaxed. "Good, now can you tell me what made you upset?" I asked. "That symbol... I've seen it before..." Ranboo explained. "Where did you see it?" I questioned. There's a box in my room with cassettes in it, each of the cassette tapes has the symbol on it." Ranboo explained as I helped them off the ground. "Can you show me?" I asked. "Yeah..." Ranboo nodded. 

When we reached their room they pulled a box out from under their desk, set it on their bed, and opened it. I picked up one of the tapes it did in fact have the symbol on it. "Yup, that's it alright..." I muttered, nodding before looking at Ranboo. "You don't mind if I take these over to Shield headquarters do you?" I asked as I examined another tape. "Sure, but be careful ever since I brought them here there has been something following me, but I don't know what it is..." Ranboo warned. "I'm going to have you stick with at least one person at all times until we figure this out," I stated as I texted the group about the situation. I waited there with them until Tubbo and Aimsey walked in. Once they did I waved goodbye and left taking the box of cassette tapes with me.
