He went into his room and sat down on his bed, looking down at the money he had in his hands. He let out a sigh after seeing that he barely had $30 dollars in his hands. Lifeline walked in his room and leaned on the frame of the door.
"Hey Silva.."
"Oh, hey chica!..what, uh..what are you doing here?.."
He asked with a raised brow. She walked over to him and sat next to him.
"I just..wanted to see what yuh were doin' I guess."
He chuckled.
"Well, I'm actually happy that your here.."
"Your like a brother to me Silva.. and I'm always here for you.."
She said before leaving something on the edge of his bed. He noticed and reached out to pick up what she put down. He looked down at what was in his hands, his eyes sparkled when he looked at it. He quickly turned back to her as she stood in the doorway.
"But how did you?-"
"Ramya told me."
He looked over at Rampart with a raised brow.
"Th-Thank you chica.."
"Oh, don't get all emotional you plonker! You can repay me with a drink at the bar sometime!"
He chuckled.
"Jaja, deal mi mecánica!"
He ran over and hugged Lifeline. He then tried to hug Rampart but she stopped him before he could.
"Haha, try and hug me, and your legs won't be the only thing missing."
"Jajaja, whatever you say chica!"
He quickly ran out the house, full speed before arriving in town and into the store. It was surprisingly fancy for the childish stuff they sold. He quickly picked up one of the purses and purchased it. It came in a cute box but he wanted to add something else in there to let her know that it was from him. Of course he wasn't going to be to subtle, I mean, it's Octane. He returned home as quickly as he could and ran into his room before peeking his head out of his door and calling for Lifeline.
"Hey, Che!"
"What now Silva?"
"I need one more thing from ya!.."

Wattson was still looking through her window before turning towards her clock. She noticed that it was getting pretty late before Caustic knocked on her door.
"Come in!"
She said before turning towards Caustic who had just entered her room.
"It's time for supper Ms. Paqeutte.."
"I'll be down in a minute Dr!"
He nodded before gently closing the door and walking downstairs. He sat down and waited for her to come and sit down. He let out a sigh, he knew that keeping her grounded was the best option for her. She wasn't ready for the world, and she never would be. He feared for her. She was a delicate and pure woman whose mind he didn't want to be tainted by the simpletons that roam the planet.
She walked down the stairs and sat down at the other end of the table. Steak and broccoli were on both of their plates. She gently poked at her food while he ate his own. He stopped after noticing that she hadn't taken a bite of her food yet.
"Is there something wrong, Ms. Paquette?.."
"Oh, um..yes, I'm alright Caustic.."
"You don't look, alright.."
She flashed a slight smile at him.
"I promise you Dr, I'm just fine!"
He put his knife and fork down on the table and glared at her.
"Natalie, I have known you long enough to know that you are not doing well. Your father had the same expression displayed on his face each time he was in a foul mood."
"Ok Dr..your right but, it's nothing important!"
"If it is involving anything about your personal life it, IS, my business.."
She crossed her arms before returning a glare back at him.
"It's referred to as my personal life for a reason..Dr.."
"Is it about what happened the last time you went out?"
She looked at him nervously, she was shocked by how he managed to know.
"So I conclude that I'm correct?"
She turned away from him feeling angered and annoyed.
"I refuse to answer that query of yours!.."
"Ms. Paquette I insist that you answer that question, immediately.."
"I'd rather not!"
He drove the blade of his knife into the table, causing it to stand upright.
"I'm getting tired of your ignorance. It is growing tiring and I won't stand to let you disrespect me this way. You live in my house under my rules and you have to obey my and respect me without question!"
"If you don't like me living under your roof and not listening to you then why don't you let me leave? I've asked you multiple times if I could leave and go live on my own, but every time you have refused and have not yet let me go!"
"Where would you go? I'm the only person that you have and the only person who would take you in. This world is full of simpletons and we stand above them at the top of the food chain. None of them would take in someone with as much intellect as you! Your mind is to great for then to comprehend."
She stood up and slammed her hands on the table.
"I did though Dr! I did! I met a wonderful man who cares and who would take me in no mater what. He may not be the brightest but he cares and so do I."
"I will not let you dwindle with the likes of whoever he is! They will only hamper your scientific mind and cause problems with your mental health! You will live under my roof until told otherwise!"
"I refuse to let you control my life and you will not let me stop trying to find true love!"
"You don't need love to fill the hole in your heart, besides love is only an illusion created by a complex array of emotions!"
"You would never be able to even comprehend the extent of the emotion love because a monster like you isn't capable of feeling any emotions relatively similar to anything joyous!"
Those words that came out of her mouth made him snap. He flipped over the table in rage, the food and drinks spilling everywhere. Wattson stumbled back in fear, he had never been this angry before. He was huffing and puffing in anger, he even let out what sounded like a growl.
"Go to your room..now."
He said before she burst into tears and ran into her room, slamming the door behind her. He let out a sigh, she was requiring discipline and that was exactly what he would give her. She lied down on her bed and cried into her pillow. After her pillow was drowned in her tears she threw her pillow at her wall. She was full of anger and despair, she just hoped that tomorrow would be better. She curled up into a ball and cried herself to sleep that night.

Quick Note:
1286 words, Woo! 😄
Oh my goodness, that was a lot! This was WAY to big brain for me- I love writing this story but Caustic is just to smart for me- uhm, I hope you enjoyed this..chapter? It took me ages to write but even though it was painful to write it was very enjoyable. I tried to add some drama hope I did well but uhm, I've kinda been questioning if I should do a Q&A but I also think it's still a bit to early to do one but I'll let you decide if I should do one or not.
