An Unknown Threat?!

Part 6

Two weeks had passed since Uzi had gotten the help from the squad of Disassembly Drones and for once in her life Uzi seemed to fit in a bit. Though it's concerning that the people she seemed to get along with the most were drone eating vampires but hey she was getting used to their want for oil.

Currently the group of 4 were "scavenging" for parts for the pod or at least that what Uzi called it but so far at least to J it seemed like they were just looking through junk. J saw that Uzi was taking with N and J was still just baffled by Uzi's choice of who to talk to. J was the squad leader, the perfect squad leader in fact and Uzi wanted to waste her words on N. I mean come on she was better than him, right?

V: Hey, you're zoning out again.

J turned her head to her left and was surprised at V's sudden appearance.

J: I wasn't zoning out.

V: Yeah, and you definitely aren't jealous of N?

J: I- What in the company's name are you on about?

V: Are you telling me that you haven't been glaring at him during this whole trip?

J: Well yeah of course I am moron- I mean N is wasting Uzi's time. She doesn't deserve that.

V: You're more than jealous aren't you J are you afraid you'll be unreq-

J: Shut it V.

V: You know you're blushing right.

J: No, I'm-

J stopped as she felt her screen heat up and while she knew she wasn't overheating she just let out a sigh in defeat. J looked at V and for once V was wearing a smug grin due to her accomplishment.

J: I hate you with a burning passion right now V.

V: I know but just like your teacher you are horrible at hiding how you feel. Also, she's looking at us right now don't embarrass yourself.

J turned around being met by Uzi who was giving her a questioning look and internally she wanted to rip V's head off but right now she had to remain composed and keep her attitude collected.

N: You alright J? Because it looks like you're overheat-

J: I'm fine idio- ugh I mean N. you know I'm just totally not thinking about certain classified things that are not at all embarrassing hahaha.

Uzi was confused by J's behavior and was also confused by V snickering to herself... must be some embarrassing secret of J's. Uzi shrugged it off and knew that finding some parts for the pod would be a lot more useful than finding out why J was being awkward.

Uzi: Alright well we need to find some tools or something that qualifies as a good replacement for the ship. I'm not exactly sure how much scrap metal we have but we definitely need to get something that's a bit better.

V: Well Worker what's your idea because we've been out here almost the whole night because of your suggestion.

Uzi: Hey, it was N's idea too and we've found some scrap.

V: Yeah, something as valuable as you are.

N: V that's not necessary.

V: Look N I don't get why this Worker is so important right now we could literally grab any other one and they could be doing way more than this angsty moron.

Uzi: Bite Me! I'll kick your-

N pulled Uzi back and gave a nervous smile as he was trying to stop her from attacking V and getting herself killed. He wouldn't want his crush to kill his best friend that make this whole thing a bit more awkward.
