Red vs Blue: Remembrance

Realignment

Epsilon continues limping his way to Blue Base with Caboose standing at the entrance.

Epsilon: Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.

Caboose: Church, you're home! Welcome back.

Epsilon: Yeah, yeah, thanks for helping me while the Red's just shoot me in the goddamn foot.

Caboose: Yeah, well you told us to stay on the cliff and I did...Yeah that was helping.

Epsilon: Oh really? Then why aren't you on the cliff right now?

Caboose: Oh I thought the helping part was over.

Epsilon: Ow, ow, ow, assholes, ow.

Tucker emerges at the top of the base with Rho.

Tucker: You're back already?

Epsilon: What do you mean already? It took me half an hour to limp across this goddamn canyon.

Rho: That's a hell of a lot faster than when what it took you when you ran up to the cliff.

Tucker: Plus, but we thought they were going to kill you, I expected you back never so in my mind you're early.

Epsilon: Shut up.

Caboose: He is right about the two different times.

Epsilon: You shut up too.

Caboose: Alright, now the helping part is definitely over! (walks into the base)

Rho: Oh, great. You made Caboose upset. I hope you're happy, fat-ass!

Epsilon: Damn it. This is exactly what I get for trying to fix things.

Tucker: What are you fixing?

Epsilon: Everything. Us. The Reds. Trying to make things the way they're supposed to be. (groans sharply) My foot!

Rho: Fix? FIX?! Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the last time you tried quote-unquote "fix" something, all you did was just help set everything on track the exact same way? If anything, that should've been a refresher course in trying to mess with things beyond your capabilities!

Epsilon: Beyond my- I'M THE FUCKING ONE WHO MADE ALL THIS SHIT!

Rho: Yeah, and how's that been working out for ya so far? Your fat, stupid, and now you got a bullet in the foot.

Epsilon: Yeah, well, if anything YOU'RE the stupid one, 'cause you're stuck in here with me!

Rho: For the record, Cal told me to come and help your ass with getting Tex out. Didn't have to, but I did. It's called selflessness, Church. Something you clearly wouldn't know a damn thing about if it hit you square in that fucking cobalt head of yours!

Epsilon just groaned, holding his foot.

Tucker: Are you okay?

Epsilon: Am I okay? Do I look okay? Do I sound okay?

Tucker: I don't know you're wearing full body armor and bleeding. That means you're either dying or just whining.

Epsilon: Well, I'm hurt alright.

Rho: When are you EVER not hurt? And I'm speaking in BOTH senses, just FYI.

Epsilon: Rho, I swear to God, if you don't shut up-

Rho: You'll what? Shoot me? You can't even shoot a guy at point-blank range with your pistol. And I saw the rewind of that thanks to Delta.
