Sky Returns {Completed}

Hopelessness

The Next Day

It was early in the morning for the city that Seto, Husky, Jerome, and the fifteen recruits were in. They were all fast asleep, as it was nearly five am, though Seto would be making soon to make breakfast.

Their sleeping was disturbed when their front door was kicked open.

"YA MISS ME?!"

Jerome snorted awake, falling off the couch, as Husky and Seto fell out of Seto's bed in shock. Husky was the first one in the kitchen, which was where the front door branched into, with Jerome hot on his heels as their held their own weapons. Seto, wrapped up in a purple robe he had packed with him when they went on this journey, followed, his hands crackling.

To their surprise, and utter annoyance, not a threat stood there but instead Deadlox did. He was smirking widely and carrying bags of what looked like Chipotle, his bang that covered his red eye pulled back with a hairpin. Seto stared at him, before he sighed as he realized he would not be cooking breakfast. He glanced at the number of bags at Ty's feet and behind him, along with the ones that a certain blue eyed scientist was carrying. He couldn't help but smile at the sight of the two, relieved to see they were okay.

Husky wasn't.

"You assholes!" He shouted. "Do you realize how big of a panic attack you gave me?! I was ready to rip you in half!" Deadlox only laughed in reply, walking past the furious Mudkip as he placed the Chipotle he was carrying on the table.

"Well, I'm not one for calm entrances, Husky!"
"At least tell me you didn't break the lock."

"Oh, no, course not Seto! I lock-picked it with my hairpin!"

"Oh, yes, that makes me feel much better..."
"Hey, it's a cheap-ass lock. I could get it with a library card if I wanted to."
"Fantastic."

Jerome sniffed the bags, then wrinkled his nose. "What is in here?" He asked, seemingly disinterested in the smell that made even Seto's mouth water. Deadlox's eyes widened, rounding on the Bacca.

"Have you never had Chipotle?!" He yelled. Jerome stared at him, and Deadlox grabbed a bag and yanked out a burrito, unwrapping it before he shoved one of the ends into Jerome's mouth, who choked. "CHEW. YOU WILL TASTE HEAVEN!"

Seto laughed, before he looked at True. He blinked. "Whoa. Someone dyed their hair."

Everyone looked over, and Deadlox snickered. True, who was originally a dark brunette, was now a dirty blond. He glanced over at everyone, before he snorted. "Nah, I don't believe in hair dye." He gestured to his hair. "This has been changing gradually. It'll probably be a bright gold if it doesn't stop here."

"Why? Is it some alien thing?" True shrugged in reply.

"I don't think so, but it might just be my genes reacting to the atmosphere here. Who knows. Maybe once I have the right equipment, I'll be able to find out." Husky suddenly snapped his fingers, glaring at the two.

"Speaking of that... Considering you have a lot of food, I'm guessing we were founded quite well?" He asked, his tone a bit dangerous. True and Deadlox glanced at each other, and Husky's eyes narrowed as a silence followed his question.
