An earsplitting sound could be heard, Driller shot up from her bed and heard the sound from her bag. Driller quickly opened the bag and found a little gadget and it said ' Mom calling ' Driller slid her finger across the device and Driller heard her mother's voice.

" Khloe, can you hear me?" Drillers mom said, " yea, I could hear you mother." Driller A.K.A Khloe said. " Good, I called you to check on you. I hope you have killed most of Blu team, and you could come back home when you do." Mrs Kantiso said. " Mother, I was wondering if I could... Well, stay with the red mercenaries here." Driller said nervously, the silence after Driller said that.

" Yes, you could stay with them, I could bring some of your things later." Mrs Kantiso said. Driller was surprised because her mother hadn't been this nice to her before, but... What if her mom just wanted to get rid of her, Driller didn't care anymore.

" I will still call you every once a week, and I just want you to remember Khloe." Khloe's mother sounded hesitant, " I don't not care about you, maybe a little ashamed but I will never not care about you." Driller was extremely surprised, that was probably the nicest thing She has ever heard from her mom. " Thank you mother." Driller said.

" Mother, where is dad?" Driller asked, " managing his Alcohol company." Mrs Kantiso said. Driller didn't want to question her mother too much, she might switch up on her. She had wondered how her parents had relationships with the higher ups of a mercenary company but it is no surprise, Drillers parents do own their own companies. An alcohol producing company and a weapon company.

Driller was glad her parents seemed nicer and that she was allowed to stay at the red base with her friends, honestly, Drillers "friends" were more like older brothers and parents to her than her actual family. Driller didn't want to kill anyone but liked being with her friends, and she knew her parents had a kick out of seeing her lose here sanity due to killing.

"Well mother, I must go, thank you for contacting me." Driller said. Driller waited for a few minutes and she saw a car outside, it was her mom. Khloe walked outside and saw her mom, greeted her and took her things.

" ' Ey kid, whatcha got there." Scout said, " some stuff from home, I'm staying here for a little while but I could still stay with my parents, I guess I visit them from time to time. " Driller responded. Driller looked in the box full of some of her stuff and found a picture, a picture with her mom, dad and her as a baby in the picture. It said that the picture belonged to ' Lucia Eltrannese and Domingo Kantiso, Khloe's parents.

Khloe's, A.K.A Driller's, Parents might have been a little tough on her but deep down in side they love her and care about her. They just gave tough love. Well, Khloe's first words were mother and father and she turned out to be very mature and stopped playing with toys and the age of seven. Maybe her parents cared about her but her mom was kind of bipolar, so Driller didn't know if her mom was being nice just to be nice or because of a mood swing.

Khloe found more family photos of her grandparents, her parents wedding, her first birthday and her 12th birthday which was recently. Driller felt like tearing up, did her parents really care about her? they were probably ashamed and worried that she wouldn't get a successful company like them and the generations before her.

But she wanted to make her parents proud, after all, If they truly didn't care about her she probably wouldn't have lived with them for twelve years. Driller walked outside of her room so she could hang out with her team mates, Driller grabbed a fruit and bit into it. Pyro ran towards Driller and talked, Pyro then gave Driller a big hug.

" Hey pyro what's up." Driller said. Pyro then put her down and Driller spoke. "Hey Pyro,today were gonna defeat blu team right?" Pyro then nodded in excitement and the mercenaries walked outside, the gates were opening but before that a woman's voice could be heard counting down. The gates opened and the mercs scattered, Driller tried to kill the blu mercs but took a lot of damage, and Medic was not there at the time.

Driller saw a blu sniper and Driller moved out of the way but still got shot in the shoulder, it hurt a lot. Her entire arm was now sore and it hurt her every time she moved her arm, Driller took two Mann co. Meds and felt different and more violent.

Driller's Eyes widened, she saw... Herself. It was some type of doppelganger or clone, she looked exactly like a Driller but wearing blue instead of red, is that why they all look similar because they're being cloned? The blu Driller then smiled at the actual Driller and started up her Drill, the blu Driller aimed for red Drillers abdomen and she was impaled. The thing with the Mann co. Drill is that when one thing touches it slightly, the top of the drill is so fast that it twists and breaks apart anything it touches so the red Driller's organs would have been ripped to shreds and swirled together when the Blu Driller impaled her with the Drill.

The original red Driller then fell to the ground and felt pain, excruciating pain. The blu Driller just smiled and ran away while watching the red Driller die on the floor slowly, Driller eyes closed and it all faded to black.

Driller awoke in a machine, it had a sign saying ' respawn machine' and the red mercs greeted her, " Ey kid, ya died pretty quick out there you alright?" Scout asked, " yea, yea I'm alright but did we win." Driller asked. The red mercs shook their heads left and right in shame, and Driller also had the same shameful look. Everyone went back to their rooms and Driller's mom called her again, " Hi mother, how are you." Driller asked.

" Khloe, I was told you didn't win today by a friend of mine." Mrs Kantiso had an annoyed tone and it was obvious, " "you failed me, that makes me irritated ." Mrs Kantiso said. Nope, khloe's parents weren't as good as she thought they were, too bad. Driller continued to listen to her mother's threats and lecture and finally hung up. Driller sat in silence while starting to tear up and soon enough, Drillers eyes became waterfalls. Driller hated being treated like nothing, especially by her family members.

Pyro opened Drillers door and Driller immediately wiped her face, Pyro grabbed a balloon and sat next to Driller. " It's nothing pyro really, just my parents talked to me about today's match and I'm a little disappointed. Pyro started playing with the ballonicorn and made it seem like it was hugging Driller and flew around her, Driller smiled a bit a gave Pyro a hug. Driller liked being comforted by Pyro, he was funny.

" I am lucky to have an Amazing friend like you, you aren't even related to me and you care more, thank you " Driller said.

Pyro tucked Driller in bed and walked out of the room joyfully, Driller still felt bad but was happy to have good friends. Driller looked out the window and saw many stars, and admired how pretty they were. Driller wanted to stay and she didn't care if her parents would disown her or not, she had Pyro, Scout, Engineer, Demoman and a bunch more. She was glad to have friends like them, if her parents did disown her she would just live with the mercenaries like she had been doing for about a month.
