~Ze's POV~




"What is this?" The sudden harsh voice causes me to flinch but hold up the small bottle full of chemicals towards the invisible man. "What the hell is this? Aren't you supposed to be breaking into the database? Not making pretty colors."


"I thought some of the Hidden would like it," I mutter, keeping my gaze lowered as I turn towards the computer again and continue on typing. I've already managed to stretch the process to over a week, I'm literally stalling for as long as I can. "It's a temporary visibility formula. It should last only thirty minutes," I explain, covering one of my cheeks as I look on the computer screen, trying to ignore the fact the other Hidden is glaring at me with obvious disapproval. When I don't hear anything in return I glance up and find the bottle empty and the Hidden just staring at the empty bottle as if expecting something to happen at any moment. Quickly I stand up, alert for the moment he yells at me for failing to make him visible but instead he just looks to his own hand curiously before taking a seat near the table with the computer sitting on top.


"How long does it take?" He asks seeming surprisingly patient, compared to the impatience of a lot of the Hidden at this base. This guy is surprisingly a lot more understanding compared to the others, as scary as he looks so large and bulky compared to the others, he hasn't hit me in irritation once. I already have bruises and cuts all over my body thanks to other Hidden just hitting me for the hell or it or simply for looking at them and acknowledging their visible body, to me at least.


"I'm not sure. It should take less time but I've never tested it-" I cut myself off when I hit the enter button and find the base database at my fingertips. Shit, I did it without even thinking because he's right here and friendly, compared to the others. Frowning at it alerts the Hidden as he looks to me curiously and steps around me, looking at the results on the screen laying out the base database.


"Oh shit you did it. I'll go tell the boss," he says and I nod, sitting back at the results in front of me. Well, I did it, I just gave up my ex base's information to the guys who want to murder them all for this one girl I like a lot. I have to be the biggest idiot, and yet I won't do anything about it. Standing up from the chair I head out of the room and glance around, noticing the hallways are emptier than usual. The base itself is emptier than usual as I step around but I don't worry about it much. They must just be on another big mission or something, attacking the people I care about. I wonder how Gassy's doing, he was supposed to be wandering around the different bases but I've seen no sign of him being around.


No sign of anything really, this is basically exactly like the last base but everyone hates me and I'm forced to be here. So it may not exactly be like the last base but the basic running is basically the same, to be expected anyways. When I enter the mess hall a loud voice makes me stop and flinch at the man shouting to the group of Hidden who all seem just as irritated. When I enter they all look towards me but then away, seeming to actually not want to look at me for once when in the past they've always looked to me straight in the eyes and angrily with no resistance to just do whatever they pleased. They even stop the shouting when I enter, making me more confused as I head to the cafeteria person who hands me the regular bag of chips. When I leave the room they don't even continue their strange rally like anger.


"Ze, come here," the boss suddenly orders me from the distance with the other Hidden who always guards me. I hurry up to catch up with them and follow them as they head back into the room with the database. When we enter the room the boss heads over to the computer, clicking through the base database, making sure every part is accessible as the other Hidden and I sit on the other side, sharing the bag of chips I had brought in with me.
