Split Ends (BBS×Reader)

I scrolled through my inbox, looking at the names of my teammates. Each name had their main stat and their most recent side mission. A small ding rung from my menu, Lui's name popping up, "Hey Blue, how are you feeling?"
I sat up in my bed, swinging my legs over the side. I quickly typed back, "I'm just in my room ya know? Just come up and see how I'm doing! Lol"
"Yea I would but I'm not home, food run. Anything you would like?"
I pondered for a minute, "No thanks, I'm not hungry for much at the moment."
A picture was sent back, Lui's face being smashed into the car window and Nogla with a bright smile. I couldn't help but laugh, "Hey Nogla."
Lui responded after a couple minutes, "Freaking idiot photo bombed me!"
A laugh bubbled up and I couldn't stop it, this is the most I've ever laughed in game.
A knock was at my door, a head popping in, "Look who is feeling better!"
I waved in Moo's direction, "Thanks to you!"
He smiled and stepped inside, "What are you laughing about?"
I openedd my chat back up and showed him the picture, "Nogla and Lui~"
Moo chuckled slightly, "Those knuckleheads..."

I smiled wearily at the others who were sitting around the living room. Evan looked up at me, his eyes lightening up, "Blue!" Ohm stood up and met me at the bottom of the stairs, smiling, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm living,"
"Luckily," Luke said, frowning from his spot by the balcony.
I waved my hand at him, "Oh whatever," smiling, I walked over to sit between Ohm and Marcel.
Marcel scratched his neck, "Anything you want from the store?"
I shook my head, "I already talked to Lui."
He just nodded in response, "Glad you are feeling better."
The small comment made my smile grow, "Thank you..."

Lui walked through the front door, "Yo, we got groceries!"
I stepped in and helped them distribute the items throughout the cabinets storage inventory. Lui thanked me, giving me a smile that filled my heart.
If these boys don't stop acting cute, my heart is going to burst.
He dropped his voice, "Would you like to go start learning some of my trade?"
I smiled and did the same, "Why are we whispering?"

He chuckled and closed the shelf inventory, "The guys are kinda territorial around you. Just didn't want them trying to dictate your decision."
I smiled at his statement, "Hoping for some one on one time?"
"Sure," he leaned against the counter, "if thats what you want to call it."
I pursed my lips, "Well I would definitely be up for it. Tomorrow good?"
He nodded, "See ya then,"
I just smiled giddy and turned, walking over to sit by Nogla.
He smiled and opened up his paper bag, "Want a donut?"
I nodded and muttered, "Sure!"
I reached for the bag but it was snatched out of Noglas hands before I could get ahold of it.
Nogla nearly screamed as Marcel seemed to appear before us, only he didnt. I still saw him first.

I frowned, "Come on Basically," I held my hand out, "You may be getting better but I still saw you, even when you scratched your nose while hiding in the kitchen. Marcel's eyes widened, "Damn-" he reluctantly tossed me the bag, going to talk to one of the others.

I let out a sigh as I bit into the glazed donut, "Penny for your thoughts?"
Nogla pursed his lips, "Not much... Just exhausted..."
I nodded, "I'm starting to feel the same." I thought to myself for a second, "Then again, the harder we work, the faster we get out of here."

Nogla seemed lost in his own thoughts, so I looked around to everyone else. They all seemed the same, I let out a sigh, "So whats been going on during my days of bedrest?"

Moo crossed his arms, "Well, we got Cassidy talking..."
That threw my head in a loop, "Cassi-what-y?" I raised an eyebrow at him. Evan gave me the same bewildered look, "Do you not remember the mission?"
"Yea? What about it?"
Nogla frowned, "The girl? Lesters niece?"
"Oooh, okay, yea- wait- holy shit." It came back to me. His niece, the girl who turned out to be an actual player.
Moo nodded, "Yea, so now its coming back to you, we found out her name. When we got everyone back here, after taking care of you of course, we interrogated her."
His bluntness in that kicked me, "You interrogated her?!"
He seemed taken aback by my reaction, "yeaaa? What else-"
I stood up, "If she isn't an AI, that means she is a player, like a human player. You guys saw how-" I took in a deep breath, remembering the condition we found her in, "-how horrible she looked. Imagine how she was treated and tortured. Aaaand you interrogated her?!"
Moo held up his hands in surrender as my outburst shocked everyone speechless. I cleared my thoat, "Hellooo?! Who thought that would be a good idea? I mean-interrogated as in interrogation room, interrogated?!"
I flinched as I felt Tyler's hand land on my shoulder, "Blue chill out, we didn't hurt her or anything."
I closed my eyes, frustration filling every fiber of my body, "Sorry- Its just, Oh god. I can't believe it."
He started rubbing my shoulders, something I didn't realize i needed so much until then, "S-so," I tried to forget about Wildcat's hands working on me, "What did we find out?"
"Not much, just a name. She didn't seem very comfortable with us. So after two hoirs in the interrogation room we gave her a room. Currently we are taking turns on guarding her."

That's when I noticed something missing, I quickly filled in the blanks, "So thats where Ohm is?"
Tyler nodded, dropping his hands, "Yea,"
"Is it really needed though? Is she a threat?"
Luke sighed, "As far as we know, she could be fake. Or a gave dev." He shrugged, "We don't know much right now. Actually... We were hoping you could help with that."

My eyes widened, "With what now?"

I walked to the spare room that sat next to Lui's, finding Ohm standing outside the door. He didn't notice me as he looked hard at the floor. I stopped a foot next to him, infront of the door, "Ohmie?"
I caught his attention, his head shooting in my direction, "My mystery girl! How are you feeling?"
I sighed, a smile creeping on my lips, "I'm better bunny boy. Now~" I nudged his arm, "I was sent to talk to Cassidy." He nodded, letting out a small sigh, "Yea, its like talking to a brick wall."
I nodded in agreement, whether I knew or not, "Well, I personally think she might have been scared. I mean- come on! You guys took her from the only place she has, I assume, been the entire game and suddenly start interogating her?"

I rolled my eyes, "Ohmie, I thought you of all would know better, ya softy."
A pink shade settled over his cheeks at my small tease, "Oh shut up, get in there."
