Finding An Old Friend in a New Place

You and 3 were just outside where Octavio's base was. You planned on sneaking in until you got caught.

3 motioned for you to stay quiet and close to her as you went. You nodded and she lead you through the halls. Once she say octoling guards, she stepped out and they saw you two.

"Get them!" They Yelled and grabbed both of you. You presented to resist but you got caught, like planned. It was a bit scary for you, but you stayed quiet. One of them walked away them came back a few minutes later.

"Bring them to the other one for now. She should be in her cell." They guards holding you nodded and brought you and 3 to a room. They pushed you inside.

"Hey traitor! You got some visitors. Heh." One of the guards said before closing the door. It was really dark and you could see very well.

One thing you did see, was someone on the ground. The person barely moved and appeared to have who knows how many injuries from bruises and cuts to burn marks and stab wounds. Your eyes widened as you realized who it was.

"Headsets!" You Yelled as you ran over to her and kneeled down next to her. She looked at you, barely moving her head, and seemed surprised.

"...Y...Y-Y/N?....w-what....are you....d-doing here?" She said weakly. Her voice was quiet and shaking.

"We came to save you! Are you ok?! What did they do to you?!" 3 stood next to you and also seemed a bit worried. She tried to sit up, though she couldn't and winced. You helped her and made her lean on you.

"T-thanks....you shouldn't...have came....its dangerous..."

"That's what I said..." sighed 3. "The others will be here soon."

"...Y/N....why...did you come?"

"Because your my friend and friends stick together." You said, trying to sound a lot braver than you felt.

"....heh.....you're an idiot.....you know that....right?...heh..." she smiled weakly and you mustered a small smile.

The door opened and Headsets stopped smiling. One guard walked into the room and the other stayed at the door. She walked towards you and Headsets and motioned for her to get up.

You looked at her for a moment. You saw the fear in your friend's eyes. She took a deep breath and managed to get on her feet, with a bit of difficulty.

You couldn't bare to see her like that and you stood up, going in front of Headsets.

"Y-Y/N? W-what are you...."

"Out of the way." Demanded the guard.

"No. I won't let you hurt her anymore." You tried to sound tough. The guard didn't look impressed. She pushed you aside and grabbed Headsets by her arm, making her wince as the guard touched some of her bruises.

"Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it, shorty?" The guard said as she dragged Headsets towards the door.

You watched as she was taken out of the room and the door was shut behind them. You stayed staring at the door for a few minutes before you looked down. 3 sat down next to you and put a hand on your shoulder.

"Hey, That was pretty brave of you. Standing up to her and all. That, I respect. Guess I was wrong about you. Maybe you do have what it takes to be an agent." You looked at her as she spoke.

"Thanks, but I don't belong with you guys...I'm not a fighter. I couldn't even stop them..."

"Yeah well, you did good. We just have to have faith for now until she gets back and until they come for us." You nodded and looked at the door.

After about an hour of waiting, the door opened and Headsets was pushed into the cell. She fell to the floor and the door was locked once again. You rushed to her side and saw more wounds on her.

"Headsets...."

"I-I'm....I'm alright.....d-don't...worry about it..." she said, using all her strength to sit up. You noticed her ears. Up until then, you hadn't seen her without her headsets on.

"Oh yeah! I brought this for you." You pulled out her headsets and she seemed surprised as she smiled.

"Heh. Thanks. You should keep em for now. They'll see that I have them if they take me again."

"Oh. Alright." You said and put them away.

"I think they're done for the night.... when will they be coming?"

"Not sure. Whenever they can I guess." Said 3.

"Hm....you still want that rematch later, 3? I don't think I can...."

"Whenever you are fully healed."

"Rematch?" You asked, confused about what they were talking about.

"3 is salty cause she can't-"

"Shut up. I can beat you and I will. You just got lucky."

"Heh. Sure I did."

"You're strong, right H?" You asked.

"Heh well if you call no one from the agents being able to beat you in a sparing match strong, then yes. I am."

"Tch...." 3 looked away, annoyed.

"Could you...teach me how to fight?"

"Wha? Why?"

"So I can protect my family....and you."

"....maybe. We'll see..." she seemed hesitant. It was obvious she didn't want to teach you. Before you could reply, she yawned. "Welp, I'm going to sleep. Wake me if they get here, k?" She leaned against the wall and put her arms behind her head.

"Why don't you lie down on my lap?" You suggested, thinking she was probably uncomfortable there.

"Hm? You sure?" You nodded at her question and she walked over to you, almost tripping over her own feet. Sat sat down next to you and you got into a better position. She lied down on your lap and you couldn't help but smile at how cute she was.

She quickly fell asleep and 3 made kissing noises, witch made you roll your eyes. She smirked and leaned against the wall.

3 soon fell asleep as well, leaving you to your own thoughts. You heard people walking outside the door and wondered where the others were.

Whatever. They'll get there soon. Hopefully.
