Quick Author's Note:
I changed the way that their hideout is set up! Eventually, I will provide a picture of what it looks like (If I feel confident enough) so that you know what it looks like. Until then, I will just tell you that all the electronics were moved out of the Big Room and were put into a separate room. I even made a Portal Room for the Teleporting Machine.

I still... have not... found out the password. That's why, a couple hours ago, I added a bucket of slime above his bedroom door. "WWWWIIILLLLLBUUUURRRRRR!" I hear Hiro scream/growl from his dormitory. Soon, I see the young prodigy stomping into the Portal Room with green slime dripping off his head and down his body, making him look like a green glob in Zelda.
Yes, Zelda is still popular. (I don't own Zelda, obviously. It would be awesome if I did, though!) Yes, I just brought in a video game.
"My annoying Second in Command, how may I help you?" I ask innocently, trying to keep my laugh from bursting out.
"Why, you inconsiderate %*&@$-" and he continues to use some very colorful words I'm sure he learned from his students while I still focus on not laughing. "You will pay for this!" He holds his hands up as if to continue scolding me, but is interrupted with his eyes flashing blue.
"Hiro?" I ask, no longer finding this funny. Well, I still find it funny, but the grim look that appears on his face tells me it's no longer time to laugh. "What did you see?"
"I-I uh... I n-need to talk to y-your dad," Hiro mutters before walking over to the portal and turning it on, setting coordinates at the same time.
"Hiro, what did you see?" I ask sternly, folding my arms as I stand there, staring at him. "You're so out of it you don't even realize you're still covered in slime." Hiro looks down at himself before finally looking me in the eye.
"I'm fi-"
Someone enters the portal and we both step back, me pulling out my dissassembler and Hiro putting on his neuroscanner. "Isn't everyone here?" I yell through the loud noises of the portal.
"Yeah!" Hiro answers, just as loud.
"Then who's-"
Just as I'm about to ask, the sound of my dad's voice fills my ears and two people enter, one of them a complete stranger. A strange looking one, at that.
For one, Kwai's right behind her, but once again, he's not visible to anyone but me. "Wilbur, meet Queso. I've edited her to the point she should be considered a whole new person. Other than a shy choir girl who goes to a high school in XXX County, she's been trained by the government to protect you guys as well as ensure you don't break any laws, but also at the hands of your disposal. She's going to be a great help one day."
"Ah, Wilbur, Hiro. This is Makayla Sage, also known as-"
"Queso, I know," I mutter, folding my arms. "We don't need a bodyguard," I say to both my dad and Kwai.
"The government feels better having one of their agents here. Trust me, whether you like it or not, she stays." Dad folds his arms and raises an eyebrow as if silently asking my how I know, but I just shrug it off, my attention going to the new girl.
"Looking forward to it!" Queso exclaims excitedly. "Do you guys mind if I go explore?"
"No, we don't," Dad answers before I could.
"Cornelius, we need to talk," Hiro murmurs quietly, returning my attention to the slimy prodigy before me.
"What is so important that you'd rather talk to my dad than me?" I ask, folding my arms and scrutinizing the two. "I'm team leader and I need to know every member can trust each other."
"Wil! Can I borrow you for a second?" Vi's voice sounds throughout the hideout, making me internally groan.
"You will tell me later," I state sternly before jogging over to where Violet's voice originates.
In the TV Room, where we moved all our electronics that were hooked up in the Big Room initially, Violet is seen with a remote turning up the volume of the black screen on the wall.
"We're here today in San Fransokyo, California reporting on 16News Live about a girl who can supposedly breathe fire-"
"Supposedly? Look at the video, it clearly shows a Villain blowing fire at the store!" a guy interrupts, pulling out his phone and sticking it in the camera's face, showing a girl with red eyes breathing fire and attacking a store. "That is nowhere near supposedly!" Just then, an explosion is heard and the screen flicks to static, the video fading and a man in a suit takes the screen.
"What just happened?" He asks the people behind the camera. He continues to look off the camera before reluctantly looking where he's supposed to. "Commercial break." is all he says before the screen fades and starts showing the commercials.
"We're going to San Fransokyo. Tell Penny and Vanellope to get their suits on, we're moving out ASAP."
"What about Hiro?"
"He's talking to my dad about something." Vi raises an eyebrow at me and I shrug, trying to blow it off. "Whatever it is, he obviously can't trust me with it. Let's go, you're my only way through the teleporter." Violet just laughs as she exits the room, letting me smile to myself before leaving back to the Portal Room.
AN
Aaaand I'm gonna close it off here, even though I am nowhere near where I should be.
I know, I know, it's only 865 words when I should be doing 1500 words minimum. I'm just struggling a little bit, so I am unable to do as I wish with this chapter.
Addition from original publishing:
I'm so sorry! I wrote this chapter and completely forgot I introduced an O.C.! Thank you, ManthaDanielle for Queso! I'm sorry I didn't mention it until now... Golly, I'm a terrible cousin 😖!!! Anyway, Queso is not mine, she belongs to my cousin.
Please, don't be afraid to call me out if I forget to mention you when introducing your O.C... I have been so busy lately that I need the extra reminders! You can still send me OCs if you want.
