Len
Len was a true idiot at heart.

Even people with the smallest amount of common sense would know not to go somewhere all because some crazy chick with a pet human told you to, especially if she knew who you were, and especially if you were recovering from a bullet wound that your sister's best friend, who isn't even a real doctor, stabilized for you.

Miku even told him to take it easy for the next couple of days and to relax and make sure that his stress levels don't go through the roof. And what was he going to do?

He was going to do the exact opposite of what she ordered, of course. 

Len Kagamine was never one to follow orders, regardless of who the person giving them was. In fact, he was used to doing what they tell him not to do instead.

But even to him, this was stupid. He was sore and could barely move without wincing. The wound hurt like hell, and he was warned not to move around too much or else he may reopen it. Of course, that meant that fighting the way he usually did wasn't really a choice and that was kind of a problem. So instead, IA supplied him with several guns and a few extra knives.

He was getting second thoughts when a limo pulled up and two burly men in suits stepped out and opened the door for him to enter. "Mr. Kagamine." The bigger one greeted. The other was only a couple inches shorter, but that didn't make him any less intimidating. Len eyed them strangely- this idea was seriously, incredibly stupid. 

"Please, get in." The shorter of the two said. His voice was rough and scratchy, and it irritated Len for some odd reason. Len examined the limo. It was no doubt expensive and usually used to serve people of the utmost importance. He wondered if Tei was trying to show off, telling him of the money she had and how she could easily get what she wanted. And as of right now, it seemed that she wanted him. Fuck my life...he thought. That's not helping at all. "You wouldn't want to keep Ms. Sukone waiting, would you?" Len rolled his eye. He didn't really give two shits about Tei as of now. Though she didn't say she was with Blackport, she still seemed like an asshole of a person. Not to mention slightly creepy as well- the way she looked at Len was like that of a starving dog staring at a large piece of delicious meat.

The only reason he was going was because he wanted answers. Now, however, he wasn't sure if it was such a good idea. But since when has he done anything that was a good idea?

He climbed in and the person shut the door for him. No turning back now. He thought with a small exhale. I guess I gotta be more...peaceful and negotiable. Miku will chew me out again if I get hurt. The thought of the fiesty tealette made his the corners of his lips twitch upwards- sometimes it seemed like she was more dangerous than his enemies. She'd try to quietly holler at him but end up shouting so loud that people in China could probably hear her, often lecturing him about how he was a stupid blockhead that's going to get himself killed one day. 

It amused him to know that the usually polite and quiet girl yelled at him like that, and that a goody-two-shoes like her stole several types of medicines from her strict, uptight aunt just so that she could prepare to treat him. He didn't exactly know why, but he felt a twinge of pride knowing that she did things for him that she probably didn't do for other people. But then again, he wasn't like other people.

The car began moving. The backseat and front seats were separated by some type of wall, so Len couldn't see his drivers. The windows were tinted, literally pitch-black so he could see nothing outside. Everything in the car was black as well, and the seats were unsurprisingly comfortable- after all, the car was an expensive one. It unnerved him to know that he had no clue where he was headed.
