Christmas on Helios | Jack X Rhys

Christmas on Helios

"Welcome, Rhys." Felicity greeted as Rhys set foot in the Hyperion Hub of Heroism. Surprisingly, there was a giant Christmas Tree in the centre.

Rhys smiled up, "Hey, Felicity. I'm guessing Jack's still slaving away in his office." Everyone from Hyperion had gone home for Christmas and it was now reaching 9pm.

"You guessed correctly."

With a sigh, Rhys headed towards the elevator that lead to Jack's office, "Is Angel with him?"

"No. She has gone walk-about around Helios."

"I'm surprised Jack let her go off on her own."

"He didn't."

Rhys paused, stopping in his tracks, "Oh."

"He hasn't noticed that she is gone due to the stack of paperwork he is going through."

"He needs to cut down. I don't care if he is the CEO of Hyperion, he needs to have a break."

"I couldn't agree more..." Felicity agreed, "Now. I have scanned Helios, and it seems that Angel is located in R and D."

"R and D?" Rhys questioned, "Isn't that where Hyperion stores Torks and Stalkers for testing?!" Rhys was worried that the Torks and Stalkers would escape but... Jack assured that it was highly unlikely.

"Affirmative."

"R AND D, YA SAY?!" An annoying yet familiar voice echoed throughout the base.

Rhys groaned before mumbling, "Please no..." he turned around to see a-

"I am a CL49P215-T315P473TP-"

"Alright, alright! I don't need to hear your entire unit code! I'm just gonna call you ClapTrap if that's okay with you!"

"Hmmmmmmmmmm....." 'ClapTrap' began, "I dunno, Minion. I would rather have you call me CL49P215-"

"ClapTrap it is!" Rhys said with a fake smile before walking off in a random direction, hoping to just come across R and D.

Felicity assured, "I will unlock the door for you."

"Minion! Hold up!" ClapTrap exclaimed as he rushed to Rhys' side, "Who's gonna protect you from those nasty f*$%!&£#, huh?"

"D-Did you just beep out a word?"

"It's in my programming!" he started, "Now! I'll lead the way!"

-JackxRhys-

"ClapTrap..." Rhys muttered as he stopped walking, causing ClapTrap to stop too.

"What's wrong, minion?"

Rhys glared at him, "Why do you keep on taking me round and round in circles?!"

"What are you talkin' about? We've never been here before!" ClapTrap exclaimed.

"Yes we have! We're back in the Hub of Heroism! This is the exact place where we started almost two hours ago! You've taken me to the same bathroom five times now!" Felicity had silently been enjoying what was going on, so she decided against telling Rhys where R and D was, "Aren't you supposed to know where everything is?!"

ClapTrap beamed, "Of course, Minion!"

"Look... Christmas is finished in just over an hour and I would kindly like to see Jack before it ends. So if you could be a big help and take me to R and D... I won't have Jack throw you out of an airlock!"

The yellow robot didn't say anything for a moment, "HA! Like Jack would throw me out an airlock!"

"Really?" Rhys questioned.
