Among Them All

Chapter 2 Out Of The Blue

Everything had finally calmed down a bit. Everyone had a moment to breathe after choking down one another's throats. Maybe that's all we needed, especially Red. I'm not too sure what his problem was but he surely didn't care as much as some of us. Was it because that was his personality or was it he truly not caring about his job? It didn't matter at this point, what mattered was that everyone was back to a calmer pace.. At least for the moment.

Red had walked down the main entrance hall and walked into a room across from the shuttles door.

"What the hell is this place? It looks like some sort of mini emergency room." He lifted his tablet up to his face for a closer look at the layout of the ship.

"Medbay- well medical makes more sense I suppose. Who came up with this name? We're not at a beach. I don't see any sand anywhere" He chuckled at his own joke. "Idiots."

Maybe he did have a sense of humor.

His eyes lifted from his tablet and landed on a giant monitor and to what looked like a little circle platform. He walked over examining it,

"What are these for?" As he started to mess with certain buttons, Black who had followed him down the hall walked passed the door but back tracking his steps spotted Red and decided to invite himself in. Though he was just a bit too tall for the doorways at around the height of six foot three. The man was enormous, this didn't help make him look any more nerve wrecking. Red over heard his footsteps and slightly turned to see him standing inches behind ever so quietly.

"Decided to follow like a pup I see?'' He turned back to the monitor.

"Whatever you want man, not my choice. I'd rather have you in here than any of the others anyday."

Black's mysteriousness continued as he kept silent, walking next to him to touch a tube that was attached to the monitor. Red's eyes caught his attention over to Black, confused by his actions.

"You really do not talk much do you?'' He chuckled, "My kind of guy." His facial expressions finally showed some kind of life to it but went straight back to nothing the second he turned his whole body to Black.
"Do you say anything? Like, at all? It would be nice to have someone normal to talk to on this ship while we are here."

Black looked down, closing his eyes, realizing he brought himself into this, he might as well say something.

"I only speak if I feel needed to," He sighed.

Red's face lightened up a bit after his explanation,

"Understandable honestly. I would do the same but the rest annoy me so much that it just pops out. Who raised them, monkeys? They are all acting like complete kids out there."

Black opened up his eyes and looked down onto Red, over townering him.

"That fact is why I followed you here. I didn't care much for the outgoing ones. A bit overwhelming in my opinion. I can tell there are going to be a lot of "moments" with them.

Red ever so slightly smirked for one of the first times on the ship since they had been there. You could tell that they had already bonded a small starting friendship with one another. "I think we are going to get along just fine Black" He said.

"I'm glad you agree." They both shook each other's hands to assure their understatement on how their relationship was going to go.

Black's interest then went back to the monitor as Red turned himself over to the platform on the ground once more.

"So, what even is this thing? What do you do, just step on it? It's like a platform and-" Before he could finish anything, green rays of light shot up around him the second he stepped up onto it. The whooshing sounds caught Black's ears,
