The Celestial Vault

???: "Sebastian wake up."

Sebastian slowly began to wake up and he opens his eyes only to get blinded by the bright sun through the window. He sits up rubbing the sleep from his eyes before opening them. He notices that he is in the warehouse which was a shock to him because he was at his home last night.

But then, someone touch his should which he jumps, and he turns his head over to the person and saw that it was Echo crouch down next to him with a concern expression.

Echo: "Are you okay? I walked in to see you on the floor. I was checking to see if you're okay."

Sebastian gave her nod before wrapping his hand around his throat because it was really dry in the inside.

Sebastian: "I'm okay. Can I have two bottles of water? My throat is really dry."

Echo gave him a nod before getting up walking over to the fridge on the other side of the warehouse.

Sebastian: (What happened last night, Zara?)

Zarathos: "Another bounty. It went well no need to worry.)

Sebastian felt a sharp pain on his left arm, and he looks to see a cut that looks like a knife wound.

Sebastian: (How can you explain this then?)

Zarathos: (The person had a knife. I wasn't quick enough to stop him slashing at us.)

Sebastian hears Echo coming next to him and gave him the water bottles.

Sebastian: "Thank you, Echo."

Echo: "You're welcome."

Sebastian chugged the first water bottle down but drink the other one slowly. Echo looks at him with a smirk but faded when she saw a cut on his left arm.

Echo: "What happened to your left arm?"

Sebastian: "I think I was working on my motorcycle last night here. I didn't realize I gotten it."

Echo sighed before walking over to the first aid kit on the wall, then she walked back to him. She crouches down on his left and starts to clean his wound on his arm. Sebastian didn't argue, he knew he wouldn't win against her.

When she was done, Sebastian looks at the bandage around his arm before looking over at Echo with tired smile.

Sebastian: "Thanks."

Echo: "Uh huh. You should probably go shower real quick. Don't worry about the bandages it's waterproof."

He gave her a nod before standing up and he stretches a bit. He looks around the warehouse that was filled with things that they wanted but nothing that they needed except for tools.

Sebastian: (I wish we added a shower here. I should probably go to the Bensons and see if they'll let me use their shower.)

Sebastian: "I'm going to go take a shower at the Bensons. I'll see you and the rest in a bit."

Echo: "Take your time. I'll be here."

Sebastian puts on his shoes before walking out of the warehouse and down the sidewalk to where the Bensons are. A few minutes of walking he makes it and walk into the restaurant and saw Tiffany and Wanda preparing food for today and Sissy is sitting on the table on her I pad. The three looked up and saw him standing there.

Tiffany: "Sebastian! It's so great to see you."

Sissy jumps off from the table then ran up to give him a big loving hug. Sebastian was surprised but he smiles giving her a hug and let go of her.

Wanda: "How you've been? It's been a couple days."

Sebastian: "Been busy. Trying to find a job that pays well."

Tiffany: "Should we call anyone to get you a job? You could work here if you want."

Sebastian: "I don't wish to be a burden from you guys working here. But thank you for the offer. I come here to ask if I could take a quick shower upstairs. It won't be long or anything."

Wanda: "Of course you can. Sissy, can you show him where the bathroom is?"

Sissy gave her mom a nod before she grabs Sebastian's hand and starts to guide him upstairs towards the bathroom. Sissy let go of his hand before stopping next to a door.

Sissy: "Here we are. Let me know if you need anything."

Sebastian: "Thanks, Sissy. See you later."

She went back downstairs and Sebastian walks into the bathroom shutting the door and locking it. He got done cleaning himself up in the shower in under three minutes, but he stood there in the shower starring as the water was drenching his back and he was thinking in his own little world.

He snaps back to reality then turns off the water before getting out of the shower. He gets dried of before putting his clothes back on and went downstairs to leave. Sebastian said his goodbyes to the Bensons and headed back to the warehouse.

Sebastian arrives at the warehouse to see Frostee talking to the camera. He was curious who he was talking to as he looks into the Yoka ball surveillance cameras and saw Tiffany and Wanda talking to Frostee. He went another way so he doesn't get Frostee in trouble for not being at science camp.

He opens the door then starts to walks in as he saw Jordan working on a new weapon as he walks over to him.

Sebastian: "Morning, bro. What you working on there?"

Jordan looks up to his friend with a smile before he starts to explain his weapon.

Jordan: "Morning, man. I'm trying to make a web shooter that actually works."

Sebastian: "That will be real handy to have with you. Since you're a spider man fan and all but since we are working with a secret agency it could help us out."

Jordan: "That's my plan. Man I can't wait to get this done and actually try it. This has always been my dream."

Sebastian couldn't help to admire his friend's excitement. Ever since he met Jordan, he loves spider man, Michael Jackson music, and Batman.

Sebastian: "I hope it goes will for you. You can do it I have faith."

Jordan: "Thanks that means a lot."

Sebastian looks over behind him to see Cisco, Echo working on Tony's car so he walks over to them.

Cisco: "Look dude, I'm just saying, you can't use your car to stop a speeding, and then complain when you have transmission problems."

Sebastian: "Well it's the other way around. Jordan is the one who stopped the train to save Layla, two, it was a bullet train and third how in the heck did you even get your transmission damage again, Toretto?"

Sebastian told them before standing on Echo's left putting his hands on Tony's car looking down at the engine.

???: "I told Jordan I'll be fine."

Cisco yelps from the sound as he jumps hitting his head on the hood making him groan in pain. Sebastian looks over to the voice to see Layla behind Tony.

Layla: "Oh, I'm sorry."

Tony: "Don't worry. He done that six times today."

Cisco is holding his head before explaining to everyone.

Cisco: "Yeah, but someday, I won't think right no more."

Echo: "That day has come and gone."

Sebastian hears footsteps coming behind him but he didn't look because he knows it's Jordan who wants to talk to her.

Jordan: "Hey, Layla."

Layla: "Hey, Hot rod. How's your day going?"

Jordan: "Can't complain."

The two talked for a bit and Sebastian is glad to see them having a nice chat. He then felt something heavy on his shoulder. He didn't have to look because he knew it was Echo and didn't mind her leaning on him.

Layla looks over at Tony to see him working on his car and she walked up then asked him if he needs help.

Layla: "Need a hand? The big thing is called 'the engine' by the way."

Tony: "Ahh... Thanks."

Layla: "Here let me hold the wrench and you tighten."

Tony: "I didn't realize that you got your hands dirty like this."

Layla: "I got enough dirt under my fingernails to plant potatoes. You're the one with the baby hands."

She grabs Tony's wrist and felt how soft his hands felt and thought of teasing him.

Layla: "So soft. What kind of moisturizer do you use?"

Tony: "What? These mitts are like leather on iron covered in barbed wire."

Layla: "Oh please. You probably couldn't hold a cup of tea without squealing like a piglet." [squealing like a piglet sound].

Tony: "Shut up."

Echo: "Uh, you here for any reason?"

Layla: "I came to tell y'all the next event. We're going on top Mount Zebulon."

Cisco: "What's that?"

Layla: "It's Shashi's dream rally. He's been talking about it ever since I've known him. The whole mountain is owned by some tech billionaire. Those codes we stole from the Russian unlocks the security."

Tony: "So is there a Diamond mine or something?"

Echo: "Is it hollowed like a giant vault?"

Cisco: "Ohh! Is it a volcano?"

Everyone looked at Cisco confuse on why would Shashi ever want to rob a volcano. Sebastian thought about it for a minute and it wouldn't be that bad to rob one.

Echo: "Why would Shashi want to rob a volcano?"

Cisco: "To get the pumice. You know the corner of the soap market. Shashi loves cars, and nothing gets grease out from under your nails like pumice."

Everyone looks at Cisco wondering how he knows these things. Sebastian jumped a bit when Echo put her hands out and he backs up next to Jordan.

Echo: "Everybody step back! I'm gonna slam the hood on Cisco's head, see if we can get it working again."

Sebastian: "Jesus Christ."

Jordan [Whispered]: "How can you even handle her?"

Sebastian [Whispered]: "I don't even know bro. I don't even know."

Layla: "We're not stealing anything this time. Apparently it gets him really mad when one guy can own a mountain. He wants this to be the biggest SH1FT3R rally ever."

Echo: "We'd better adjust your fuel mix so this thing can run at altitude."

Layla: "Get your cars ready too. Shashi wants everyone racing in this one."

Echo and Shashi looks at each other and they both gasp.

Echo & Cisco: "Yeah!"

Jordan and Sebastian watched them with a smile before looking at Layla.

Jordan: "We will see you later at the mountain."

Sebastian: "Yeah, we got some upgrades to do."

Layla: "Alright then. See you all later."

Layla left as Sebastian and Jordan went over to their station to work on their vehicles and Sebastian is starting to have a bad feeling about the race. He thinks that Shashi knows that they been to his house a couple days ago.

Sebastian looks at Jordan to see him working on his weapon upgrades on his vehicle and putting others on it too.

Sebastian: "Hey, J."

Jordan: "Yeah, S?"

Sebastian: "I need to speak with you. It's urgent."

Jordan nods before putting his tool back in the box and followed Sebastian outside so no one else hears.

Jordan: "So what is it that you need to tell me?"

Sebastian: "I love you."

Jordan: "What?!"

Jordan takes a step back from his friend and Sebastian couldn't help but to laugh at his friend's reaction.

Sebastian: "It's a joke man. I don't love you that way."

Jordan: "Aw, dude you gave me a damn heart attack for a second."

Sebastian: "But on serious note here. I think Shashi knows we broke into his house a couple days ago."

Jordan: "Crap. So you want me to load our vehicles with slippery land mines, spikes and paint ball guns?"

Sebastian: "Just you and I. We can't risk compromising things with the others yet."

Jordan agreed to what Sebastian is saying and he nodded and they both went back inside to get their cars ready.
