Rivals: The Killjoys vs. The Youngbloods

2. Brendon Joins the SPP (Sinners Protection Program)

"So, did you find anything?" Gerard sat on the couch beside Mikey and put his feet up on Frank's lap.

Mikey looked over at his brother in annoyance. "Not much. But I can bet it was more than you've found."

"Hey." Gerard sipped from his mug. "You know I can't work effectively without a cup of coffee."

Frank tapped his tablet a couple times. "This is your third cup of coffee babe."

"The first one was to sober me up, the second one was for energy to get the third cup and this one is so that I can actually start working." Gerard said defensively, before taking a sip.

Frank chuckled under his breath. "Sometimes I think you love coffee more than me."

"Well, you're not wrong there." Gerard smiled into the coffee cup and cleared his throat. "Did anyone find anything on these Youngbloods?"

"Their names are Andy, Joe, Pete and Patrick." Ray walked into the room, balancing a laptop on his forearm. "I found a lot about them being linked to some secret organization hell bent on destroying the world."

"Which side were they on?" Gerard asked, shifting his feet on Frank's lap.

Frank shot him a warning glare and Gerard smiled back "innocently."

"I don't really know." Ray shrugged, dropping onto the chair across from them.

"I found something." Mikey sat up. "They're working with BL/ind. Well, not exactly helping them, but not stopping them either."

"So then maybe they were on the wrong side of that whole thing that happened in 2013." Ray suggested. "It would make sense if they're working with BL/ind."

"Or maybe they were on the right side of that incident and they're caught under BL/ind's influence." Frank suggested. "It wouldn't be the first time someone good was manipulated by bad advice, and it won't be the last."

"Ok, are there any contacts that we could call to get more info on them?" Gerard asked, shifting to sit with his legs criss-crossed. "Maybe Dr. Death?" He leaned his head on Frank's shoulder and sighed contentedly when Frank wrapped an arm around him.

"Or Courtney Love." Mikey turned his computer towards Gerard. "Remember her?"

"The leader of the Resistance?" Ray looked up. "Wasn't she working against them? You know, before she had a change in heart and came to the light side."

"Which is exactly why she would know the most about them." Mikey grinned.

Gerard set his coffee cup down on the table. "Good idea. Tell her to meet us at that coffee shop on 5th Street." He stood up and stretched.

"But you just drank coffee." Mikey protested, looking around for back up from his teammates.

"Coffee's a great idea." Frank agreed, mesmerized by Gerard's ass.

Mikey rolled his eyes. "Fine, we'll go to that stupid coffee place."

"So I was thinking." Patrick leaned against the bathroom door as Pete leaned over the counter to finish fixing his hair. "On the way back from meeting with the Sinners, we should get ice cream."

Pete looked over at Patrick and grinned. "Are you asking me on a date Patrick?" He teased lightly.

Patrick's face flushed scarlet. "No, I mean- we can just-"

Much to his relief, Pete interrupted Patrick's nervous rambling. "I'd love to."

Patrick smiled, his eyes twinkling. "Are you ready yet? You know how bitchy Brendon gets when we're late."
