She had to get this over with. After the first three days (two of which, she was awake for the entire time), she had known that she was right in the first place. There was nothing she could do. It was over. He probably really was gone.

To know anything for certain, there were still some pieces that she was missing... Pieces that only Six had.

After a firm peptalk, she decided to give him a call or something. Beep his communicator or... something. Just as she was about to do it, though, her face met her hands again. How could she do this to him? First of all, she hadn't so much as seen the man since.... whatever his last visit was. Second, she couldn't turn around again and tell him that she wanted the old Six back. She did, but she by no means wanted to force it out of him against his will.

... She still didn't know what he wanted with his life. She knew he wanted the other Six to come back, but was that only for them or was that for him, too?

She sighed. She needed to do this. You can do this... She was so tired and it was already getting late. Maybe he'd be asleep...

AHA! LEAVE A MESSAGE. Brilliant. Sort of.

Alright, after another sigh, she leaves a message on his comm-link. "Six, if you're willing, there's some more tests I'd like to run on you. Only if you're up for it, though. Just come by at any time." And she killed the feed.

And yeah, any time was fine. She was going to be up for a while.

Six sighed, sticking the knife back in his shoe. "So the same."

Lovely.

"...Are you all sure I can't kill Salazar?"

She almost smirks, wondering if he's serious or no-... Yeah, he's serious. She actually does smirk. "I'm pretty sure Rex wouldn't be too happy about that."

Still looking at the screen, though. She'll be staring at this for hours.

Six sighed. "Right. Don't wanna upset the kid."

He still wasn't too sure about Rex, but he knew the kid had been important to the other Six. Best not to poke a potential hornet's nest.

She could hear the doubt in his tone. "You'll figure Rex out in no time. He's a good kid," on a whim, she looked over to him, "You raised him well."

She helped, but he imprinted a lot of his morals on the boy.
sixthdeadliest: I will never understand them. (Teenagers...)

[personal profile] sixthdeadliest 2011-10-22 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Me?" he asked incredulously. "I doubt I had that much influence on him."

...Okay, so the kid had called him his father figure, but he really couldn't see any version of himself as the fatherly type.

Hey, Holiday. What's that knocking on your temporal lobe? It may just be an idea!

"There at last, you two were a whole lot a like. Almost like twins, whenever Rex would decide to be mature about something. I think you'd be surprised the influence you made on him."

So, it proved to just keep an eye on Rex during his 'better' moments. It was things that Six would do.
sixthdeadliest: I will never understand them. (Teenagers...)

[personal profile] sixthdeadliest 2011-10-22 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
"...So during the take down of that first EVO he was like I was?"

That was...surprising.

[identity profile] doc-holi.livejournal.com 2011-10-22 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
"You mean the time where you stole a car?" She still found that amusing. "I'm not sure, but he was sure lecturing like you were once you two got back."
sixthdeadliest: (Leaning against a wall)

[personal profile] sixthdeadliest 2011-10-22 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
"...It was...different."

Had he really sounded like that? Though first getting lectured by Rex and then Knight, the man he still saw as his real partner, had not been in the least bit enjoyable.

She gave a sigh, looking away from the scans again and back to him. "Just don't worry about all that right now. You'll figure it out."
sixthdeadliest: (Leaning against a wall)

"All right."

He finished collecting his weapons and started towards the door. He paused before opening it.

"Holiday, try and get some sleep?"

So at least one of them wasn't a zombie.

[identity profile] doc-holi.livejournal.com 2011-10-22 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
"I will later," she answered him, looking back to the scans.

She would. At some point. Like tomorrow. Or the next day might be better. She had to figure this out and every second she was resting were seconds wasted.
sixthdeadliest: One... (Sad)

[personal profile] sixthdeadliest 2011-10-22 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
"...Please."

There was a faint hint of pleading in that voice. Rex needed one of them to stay steady. And, at the moment, he wasn't sure he could be that person.

[identity profile] doc-holi.livejournal.com 2011-10-22 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
She looked up to him in surprise at the 'please'. Usually, after something like that, she'd just go ahead and pack it in.

But this was too important.

She looked away again, back to the scans. "Later." He was counting on something to help him out, wasn't he?

Sighing, Six walked back to her side...and promptly scooped her up, slinging her over one shoulder like a sack of potatoes. With one hand, he locked the screen.

"I asked you nicely," he told her flatly as he started to leave the lab. "Now where are your quarters?"

Because he sure as heck didn't know.

[identity profile] doc-holi.livejournal.com 2011-10-22 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ever seen a deer in headlights? Well, now you have.

"Ah-... Ie-... Wh-... Six! What are you doing?"

Finally able to make words. Good job!
sixthdeadliest: (Leaning against a wall)

[personal profile] sixthdeadliest 2011-10-22 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Getting you to bed. Now where's yours?" he asked flatly.

Ajisoafuhwanvoejaohfnf.

"I- Wait a minute! I have work to do and- and- This is crazy, Six!"
sixthdeadliest: (Leaning against a wall)

[personal profile] sixthdeadliest 2011-10-22 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Holiday, you have a simple choice." Six stopped in the middle of the empty hallway, in full view of any number of cameras that Knight could be watching from and not caring in the least. "Either you tell me where your quarters are, or you'll be spending the night in mine."

And not in a really fun way either.

[identity profile] doc-holi.livejournal.com 2011-10-22 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
... She's really glad that she's facing his back right now, cause she's suddenly pretty red... And not in a 'really fun' way.

At least she stopped struggling. "Down the third hall on the left. Second door." The cursing was implied. And no, Six, it isn't all that far from yours.
sixthdeadliest: I will never understand them. (Teenagers...)

[personal profile] sixthdeadliest 2011-10-22 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Thank you." He started to walk forward before pausing as something occurred to him, glancing back at her. "You mean your quarters are only four doors down from mine on the opposite side of the hall?" He started to walk again. "At least I won't have problems finding my way back."

[identity profile] doc-holi.livejournal.com 2011-10-22 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Hn." More of a grunt than anything. She doesn't really care right now.

Actually, she was planning on sitting there for about ten or twenty minutes before going back to the lab. Everyone'll be happy, then!

"I humbly request you get at least a few hours of sleep, Holiday. Rex doesn't need both of us off our games."

And he was way, way off. More than enough for the both of them.

However, this wasn't spoken in the least bit bitterly. It was simple, matter-of-fact.

[identity profile] doc-holi.livejournal.com 2011-10-22 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll try," she answered, wanting to awkwardly cross her arms in a huff.

And she would try. Later. When she could afford to sleep.

"If you don't, I'm sure Knight would be willing to back me up if I let him know his top nanite researcher isn't getting proper rest and, therefore, her performance is slipping. Maybe have one of your assistants write a formal recommendation for time off."

Oh, yes, he'll blackmail you. You better believe it.
