But What If I Was Better? | Mob Joins UA

29 | You Can't Just Do That #1

I swear, guys, this isn't "take over of the OCs III" or anything. I'm just tryna set up everything for the next arc. >.<

Also, since I recently calculated and found out that -- within a collection of several books -- I have written over 50k words in just this past month, you can expect to see a bit of a decrease in my uploads, as I plan to take a step back and focus on other things I would like to do over this summer break as well. It has been fun, but I've got a lot of other passions to pursue and I don't want the only thing I did over the summer to be writing fanfiction. 😅👍
=================================

][ Previously: A reformed Jin/Twice now joins Reigen and the gang on a mission to hunt down 🎶spooky scary skeletons🎶 on the haunted Mugen train. Zeya is there too for some reason. She just kinda inserted herself into the story. I'm sorry. ][

Zeya: "Hey, Elyse... So who was it that wanted that USB so bad?"

The poor woman had no idea what devil she'd just released by revealing that information one casual afternoon.

----------

      "Principle Nezu! Someone is trying to reach you on your private line, and it's really important!!" Cementos barged into the mouse's office doors, working up a sweat on the way. Nezu's mouth gaped slightly, but he stopped what paperwork he was doing at the time to press a button. A screen shot up from inside his desk, turning on to reveal an image from the live feed. He was expecting the president of the HPSC here about another problem, or perhaps even good news for once about the finding of that missing USB.

     ...It was about that USB alright...

     Zeya leaned back in a standard office chair, the chair itself rocked back on only two legs. Her ankles were crossed, resting on the desk her phone lay on to to keep herself stationary. Fingers clasped one another behind her head. She grinned, beaming with confidence at the sight of the UA principle. For, delicately held between her canines by the plastic end was his precious USB.. and all the information that came with it.

~flashback~

     Zeya was stopped on the way to the ambulance by an officer. "Hey! What you got in those pocket?" The teen stared up at him tiredly. Then, she put on a smirk and dug into her full pocket to reveal plain gray pellets.

     "Why don't ya try one? Pellets of some kind from the cell we were held in! Though they taste like ####, ya only need one or two a day to keep you satisfied! Decided I'd bring some along in case of an emergency!" She explained. She wasn't lying either. Catching a glance at the local mind reader, Zeya smirked. She was allowed to join her aunt in the vehicle. Perfect.. In their haste, no one even batted an eye at her reasoning. Probably shoulda. For under all of the pellets was a cherished little USB she bet was important. After all...why else would it be in her aunt's pocket on such an important mission~?

~bye bye flashback~

     "Z, is that the USB we have been looking for all along?" Nezu's eyes narrowed. Was she really so cruel to steal from those who went through all that effort to rescue her?

     "Yes it is~" The teen chimed, a hand leaving the back of her head to pick it from her teeth and hold between two fingers. "Think you could get Mei on the line too?.. Thh, oh wait. She'd need captions now wouldn't she?" She laughed. "Oh well, you're good enough I guess."

     "I take it you want something, Miss Zeya?"

     "Daaaang! Don't gotta be so formal, big guy! I'm just here to offer up a trade is all. Nothing special."

     Nezu pulled up another screen and nodded to a few other individuals on there.

     "Listen, I know you've already tracked me down. ..D### quick.. and I know you've got three different strike teams already set into motion as we speak, but relax! It's not like I can break this USB right here and now! Zeya turned the metal end of the USB to her mouth, sticking out her tongue and threatening to lick it.
