"Shut it!" Crypto spoke.
Mirage took a sip of his cold whiskey.
"Who's the one?" He smile.
Crypto look away ashamed.
"Oh... Its very obvious..." Mirage tease knowing the answer.
Crypto roll his eyes.
"Natalie." Mirage whisper to Crypto ear.
He spit out his drink coughing whipping his mouth with his sleeve.
"Its not obvious!" Crypto spoke.
"Oh, it is, that time when she got attacked by an enemy team. You rush to her aid then you need saving, smart move kid." Mirage teased.
Mirage rub Crypto's head messing his hair.
"Asking people on a date is easy! Knowing what to do is important" He spoke confident.
Crypto look at Mirage quiet.
"First you give yourself confidence, ask them how they feel, be there for them hear them talk about all the voices in there head. For hours... But showing support is super important. Oh! Making sure there comfortable and happy is top priority. Also be honest say the truth or there going to find out threw a voice." Mirage mumble.
"Voices?" Crypto look confused.
"Yeah Wraith always talks about it...-?!" Mirage realized.
"You and Wraith." Crypto look.
"?! You and Wattson!" Mirage tried to give an excuse to change the subject.
"Hey! Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll do fine. She enjoys your company." Mirage spoke.
"You think so?" Crypto look at him in the eyes.
"Hey I seen how she compliments your drone all the time. Plus she's always saying electric puns to you. Both help each other in the arena and she calls you mon cheri which is french for... Uh... Honey or love? I'm not sure sounds adorable when she addresses you." He had an honest smile.
Mirage raised up his posture being confident as always.
"So where is she?" Mirage wonder.
"Drop ship fixing fences." Crypto respond.
After a while of talking to Mirage.
"Maybe you should go. It's getting late and I have to close the bar soon." Mirage respond.
Crypto paid leaving the bar, Wraith walking in.
"H...h..hey Wraith!" Mirage spoke.
Crypto receive a notification on his phone seeing a message.
-💕Watson⚡
Bonjour! Crypto how are you :D
I'm fine,on my way.
Oh hey! Thanks for giving me company.
He wonder looking at the message confused. He felt his phone buzzing, a notification it was a picture. It was wattson with Hack, he smile. He saved the picture then kept reading.
Hacks been very helpful
Oh, I guess I forgot to turn him off
I didn't know Hack could talk
Hack doesn't talk
It spoke in a female voice saying Mila. First I got worried but then excited that Hack can be used as a communication device. 😲
Crypto stop right on his tracks surprised he read the word Mila. As if he didn't believe it, was his eyes playing tricks on him. He felt his body freeze up.
Did she say anything else?
She ask if there was someone called T. But I said I didn't know, she also said that shes alive? Which was very odd? Is hack sentient? 🤔
Crypto ran getting inside the ship then went looking around for Wattson. He found her with Hack on a table charging to a computer. She seem happy watching the drone. She turn around seeing Crypto his eyes had tears running down his face.
"Mon chéri are you alright?" Wattson look at Crypto worried.
She wonder if he was hurt or if something bad had happened on his way. She's never seen him so hurt before.
"What did Mila told you. Is she safe?!" Crypto place both hands on her shoulder terrified.
"She said she's safe she got away from them?" She spoke.
Crypto felt a weight lift up from his shoulders. He sat down on a sofa remaining silent looking at Hack. He began to think getting lost in his own thoughts.
"Are you alright?" Wattson got close to him.
He made a small nod looking away, maybe he wanted to be alone?
"I'll get you some water." She respond walking away.
He held her left hand stopping her, she felt his grip tighten, she notice as his face remained emotionless but she could read him like a book. He seem terrified as if he saw a ghost but it seem different he also revealed he was sad. Wattson saw him with tears running down his face reaching his metallic chin. She open her arms out for a brief moment he just look surprised by her actions, he moved towards her and hug her hiding his face on her jacket. She pat his head softly.
"Its alright Mon Chèri." She spoke reassuring crypto.
Cryptos grip tighten hugging her. She could feel his body shake a bit.
"Do you want to talk about?" She wonder.
He shake his head sideways standing up.
"Qui I know what can get your mind of things! How about cooking or reading a book!" She smile.
"No thanks..." He left.
She saw him walk out. His actions remind her of the way they meet. He would push people away and was always serious. She was actually shy and worried working with him as a team. She felt intimidated by him all the time even in the arena the sound of his drone scanning the area and patrolling made her worry. It would always take away her fences and traps she would have set up. One time she was with crypto while octane decided to rush. It was so silent, it felt as if there was no way to break it.
Wattson shake her head and look at him as he was crouching down watching what the drone sees.
"I love how your drone has an electro magnetic pulse? Did you design it yourself?" She looked at Crypto smiling.
"Yeah I did" He respond silent.
"What's the name of your little drone?" Wattson look at him.
"Hack." He respond.
"You named your hacker drone hack? That's funny." She giggle.
He look at her making a small smile then looking away hiding it.
"What's your name?" She ask.
"Crypto." He respond silent.
"Oh.... Uh. My name is Natalie Paquette" She smiled looking at him.
"Nice to meet you." He went back to his drone loosing interest.
"Are you always like this? Treating people with a cold shoulder?" She went straight to the point.
Crypto look at his screen then at her.
"What?" He look at her.
"I been trying to find a conversation with you but you just-?!" He cover her mouth catching her off guard.
"Shush." He respond.
Wattson heard footsteps followed by her fences alerting both of them.
"There coming." He spoke.
After a fight they end up winning.
"How shocking was that!" She clapped her hands together.
"That was a close one." Crypto clean some sweat off his forehead.
She smile looking at him. She could have sworn they both look at each other in the eyes for a brief minute. She snap awake from her thoughts and began blushing when she remember seeing his first sincere smile. She notice hack was almost fully charged next to her computer she picked it up going to him. She look worried thinking, what to tell him. She knock on the door waiting patiently for an answer. She held hack and saw the door open.
"You look like you could use some company." She smile.
"I'm fine Nat." Crypto look at hack grabbing it going inside.
"No your not! That look on your face worried me. The woman that spoke must mean something very important to you." She spoke held his hand.
Crypto look surprise at her. Her soft hands tighten against his. He look at his drone and computer.
"I'm here for you mon'chéri." Wattson respond worried.
He took a sigh and let her walk inside his room.
"Forever family." He spoke looking away at Hack.
She look curious as she walk inside the room following crypto.
"Mila is family. I thought she was dead im glad shes alive." Crypto spoke.
"Im so glad those are great news!" She spoke sitting down on the sofa watching crypto.
Crypto place his drone on the desk connecting to the computer extracting all information it had.
"Problem is, shes going to get found out..." He spoke.
"I'm sure she will be fine." She respond.
"Yea..." Crypto spoke.
After a long night of talking Wattson end up falling asleep on his sofa. Crypto look at her placing a blanket on her, he sat down on the computer trying to track Mila's communication. His eyes widen when he saw Kings Canyon. He felt a hand on his shoulder startling him.
"You stayed up all night?!" Wattson spoke surprised.
Crypto look at her. His face had massive eye bags, he look very tired. She got him off the chair drag him to the sofa covering him in a blanket.
"I can't rest now." Crypto spoke.
Wattson look at him in the eyes covering him in the blanket.
"I'll help you find her if you want." She smiled.
"I don't want them to take you, just like they did to her." Crypto look exhausted.
She lied down next to him on the sofa.
"They won't I promise." She spoke.
Crypto close his eyes feeling Wattson up close to his face.
"Thank you." He spoke.
As he drift to sleep he felt soft lips pressing against his forehead.
"Sleep well." He heard followed by a French lullaby.
He closed his eyes.
"Yo wake up!! Crypy!!" He heard his door burst open.
Crypto lift up his head looking at the door pissed.
"?Too loud." Crypto and Mirage both heard.
Crypto straight up forgot Wattson was sleeping with him.
"Oh!? My god?! You champ!" Mirage teased.
Crypto threw his pillow at Mirage, he closed the door laughing. Wattson rub her eyes looking at Crypto.
"Nothing." Crypto spoke.
He lift himself up from the sofa looking at Wattson. She look so adorable. He lock the door going to the computer.
"Rest" She demand.
He sigh going to her back to the sofa closing his eyes. She embrace him in a comforting hug.
"I won." She whisper.
"For now." Crypto respond.
