Neopolitan: New environment

Neo looked around herself, walking through the next one of the many hallways of the HQ as she exchanged glances with Roman, both of them mutually agreeing they took the right turn and were walking in the right direction. After B, Q, Molly and A2 left for whatever suprise Q's friends prepared for her, both of them went to their new room and left the stuff which was given to them by C and R when they paid a visit to their work room there before going back to their trip around the HQ. 

Their trip around their new home was slowly coming to an end as both of them had visited all of the places in the massive home of the watchers and now only had to visit how the world outside the HQ looked like. If they were honest with each other, they were certain their trip around the outside of the HQ will be as long as their trip around the actual building as they doubted the outside will have anything more than what you'd normally see outside in a normal place.

They stopped in their tracks for a moment, having just walked past the gym as they overheard someone was in there right now. When they checked the gym out earlier, there wasn't anyone there. Someone must have entered the gym after this. Roman shrugged it off, pushing himself back into walk as he didn't really care about who was inside the gym now. Neo was a bit different history, though. Finding herself growing curious over who was in the gym right now, Neo walked over to the door to the place and took a peek into it, seeing two people, a man and a woman to be exact, sparring in boxing on the ring.

From what she and Roman saw earlier, she could tell those two people were one of the watcher. The woman and the taller one from the pair had black hair with an undercut hair and had black eyes. The man and the shorter one from the pair had a short gray hair, black eyes and brownish skin. Neo frowned a bit at the view of his short gray hair. If she was honest with herself, it reminded her a bit of Mercury back in Remnant and she didn't really like the observation she just made.

The man avoided a punch from the woman and shifted his attention away from his opponent for a second as he noticed someone watching them through the slightly opened door to the gym. He stopped himself in his action for a second, glancing towards the door as he stepped towards the edge of the ring.

The woman looked at him with a confused and questioning look on her face, "What are you doing?"

"I think someone is watching us." Her friend replied.

"Really?" The woman asked, looking confused by it as she narrowed her eyes a bit towards the entrance, "I can't see anything there. If someone is there, then I would probably need my helmet to notice them."

The man smiled, "This what happens when you go through training under Snake."

The woman rolled her eyes, smilling back at him, "If you say so."

The man shifted his gaze away from his friend and shifted it back to the person watching them, " "Who are you? Do you need any help or something?"

Neo shook her head, letting out a sigh at being noticed this man as she asked herself internally how did he noticed her watching, despite the distance between the door and the ring.  Letting out a sigh, she knew there was no need for her to remain hidden as she pushed the door to the gym fully open and walked into the gym, showing herself to the man and a woman as she pushed herself into walk towards the ring.

Roman looked over his shoulder, seeing Neo entering the gym and stopped in his tracks for a second, "Neo? Where are you going?"

He received no answer from his partner in crime as Neo vanished from his view, walking further into the gym. He turned around, shaking his head to himself as he pushed himself into walk and followed her into the gym. Upon entering the gym and setting his eyes on the watchers on the ring, he couldn't help but get reminded of Mercury when he caught the sight of the male watcher. He only hoped this watcher won't be as annoying as Mercury. Considering how annoying Mercury could be, he knew being as annoying as him was near impossible.

As Roman and Neo continued to make their way towards the boxing ring with the two watchers on it, both of them allowed themselves to take a better look on them and noticed something about them they didn't notice until now. It was how well built both of them were. Out of all of the watchers they have encountered since they begun their little trip around the HQ, they could easily say that these two watchers were the fittest of them. They looked like they visited the gym every day and none of those visits were short.

They noticed the height difference between them as well. They could tell the woman was taller from the pair, but the height difference between the two watchers became more evident as they neared them. The woman must have been around six feet or was something extremely close to it while the man was about 5'6.. Neo shook her head as she had her eyes set on the woman, finding herself envying this woman a bit as words couldn't describe how she wished as was as tall as this woman was.

The man watched nodded at the two criminal as soon as they stopped in front of the ring, "Hi there. You must be the new guys we've been hearing about from the rest. Roman and Neo, right?"

Roman crossed his arms, "We really became popular around here, huh?"

The man shrugged, "It happens everytime someone new moves in to live with us. You'll know what I mean 

Roman nodded at him, "Alright. If you say so."

"You can call me O, by the way." The male watcher introduced himself as O and pointed towards his friend, "My training friend over here is V."

"Hi there." V nodded at them in a welcoming manner, "What brings you two here?"

Neo pulled out a sign, "We're just giving ourselves a tour across the HQ. We were on the way outside and I overheard you two doing your thing."

"If it was up for me, then I would just walk off and leave you two be but Neo here got a bit too curious." Roman added as Neo glared at him and elbowed him. He glanced at her for a second, "What? It's true."

O nodded in confirmation, letting out a chuckle at the scene, "I see."

V looked at Neo questioningly, "I'm sorry if I'll come off as rude right now. But what's up with your signs?"

Neo flipped her sign, "I'm mute. This is how I communicate with people who don't know sign language."

"I see." V nodded in understanding. She found herself smilling a bit. Neo was mute? N will definitely be happy about having someone like her around here.

O smiled slightly, finding this cool, "Pretty cool if you ask me."

V's questioning look returned to her face a second later, "How are you doing this, though? You literally pulled the sign out of nowhere and it already had what you wanted to say."

"I never paid attention to it to be honest. It just happens. It helps me out a lot, though as not many people know sign language." Neo shrugged as V gave her another nod of understanding.

O crossed his arms, looking at Neo with a slightl interested look on his face, "So. You're mute, huh?"

Neo shifted her gaze to him, "Yeah. I just said that."

Roman narrowed his eyes slightly at him, "Do you have any problem with it?"

"No. I have no problem with it." O replied, wanting Roman to know he had no best with his friend disability, "I'm just happy you will be living with us from now on. N will have someone like her and someone she can relate to living with us."

Neo stared at him for a second. Right. B and Q did tell her one of the watcher friends was mute when they explained their watcher friends to her and the rest back in Kiara's place. Them having a mute among their watcher friends. It was actually one of the main reasons why she came here with them. She flipped her sign a second later, "...Right. They did tell me one of us is mute. Where is she right now, by the way?  I've already met some of you and she was nowhere to be found."

"All I know she's at the HQ right now." O replied, "Have you checked out the infirmary? She's often there because of her being the group's doctor."

Neo nodded, "Yes. Me and Roman saw it during our trip. There was no one there."

"I see." O nodded in understanding. He shook his head a second later, "If that's the case, then I'm sorry, but I won't help you with this as she can be doing anything right now."

"If I were to guess, then I would say she's hanging out with W right now." V voiced her thoughts on this matter.

"Yeah. That's what I thought as well." O nodded in agreement as he wouldn't be suprised if W and N were together right now and were being lovey dovey with each other. It's what they do whenever they have some free time. Unless W is hanging out with M and G or N having a fitness session with V, U, Q, K, R and P.

Neo nodded in understanding at the two watchers in front of her, "Alright. I'll try to keep my eyes open for them, then."

"What's up with your hair, by the way?" Roman asked.

O raised his brow at him, "My hair?"

"Yeah. Is it natural or....?" Roman wanted to know.

"It's not natural. I'm dyeing it." O replied, providing him an explanation to why he dyed his hair afterwards, "I dyed it at first to fit my favourite universe more before I visited it for the first time and I just stick with it after that. Even after my friends learned of what I really am. My buddy Raiden likes my style as well.

"Of course he would." V rolled her eyes with a hint of amusement in them, "You based it after him. Anyone would like your hair if you based them on them."

"I see. You want to do it like this?" O asked, "If that's the case, then let me tell you that P like my hairstyle as well."

"She's your friend. Of course she would say it not to hurt your feelings." V pointed out. Roman and Neo sensed no spite in her words, though and could see she was being playful with O right now.

"Ouch. I'm hurt." O chuckled, "It's still better than your 'I want to appear badass in front of everyone' haircut."

"Yeah. Keep telling yourself that." V once again rolled her eyes at him, "Just to let you know. I loves my hairstyle."

"This doesn't mean anything. She loves everything about you and everything you do." O pointed out.

V grew slightly uncomfortable and saddened by it, beginning to regret bringing I up in the first place, "Yeah..."

Seeing V growing uncomfortable by I being brought up in their conversation, O slowly began to regret his remark about I and quickly tried to change the subject of the conversation to something else, "...You know. It's kind of shame he already left for his world. This way he would met these two as well."

Roman raised his brow, "Him?"

"The Doom Slayer. V's best friend. Really cool guy." O explained as. Roman and Neo exchanged glances with each other, recalling B and Q showing them a picture of V with some guy in a green armor a while back. 

V nodded in agreement, feeling herself forgetting about the stuff about I at the mention of her friend, "Yeah. You're right. I can already see how they would react to him. Probably like everyone else when they met him for the first time."

"Yeah. Probably" O nodded in agreement. Out of all characters who met the Doom Slayer, there was only one character who didn't feel either everhelmed by him and fearful of him. This character was Inosuke. The young demon slayer didn't show any fear towards the Doom Slayer when J brought him to the HQ to show him and her other friends from Inosuke's friends around. In fact. He wanted to challenge him into a fight. 

Roman crossed his arms, "He really is so strong, huh?"

O nodded in confirmation, "You have no idea. You should have seen the videos of him and V fighting together. They're a literal unstoppable force."

V smiled a bit, "Come on. You're exaggerating."

"No. I'm not." O shook his head, "You really need to stop with this modesty. Have you seen yourself during the Kaltan Incident? You two kicked some serious ass! Kaltan's soldiers stood no chance against you two! Especially after you turned on your badass mode in your chainsaw. Even Snake and Kaz were impressed by it when I told them about it."

"I see. Good to know I impressed your friends a bit. Hopefully I didn't leave them thinking I'm stronger than you." V's smile grew slightly, becoming more playful in the process as Roman and Neo exchanged glances with each other. If they were honest with each other, it was kind of weird to see V act like this because of her giving off the "I can kick your ass" vibes.

O shook his head with full confidence in hos voice, "It won't happen. As Snake's apprentice, he will always find me stronger. Not to mention it's the case here. I was totally kicking your ass before Roman and Neo came here."

V snorted, "You wish."

"Listen." V and O shifted their attention back to Roman and Neo and saw Roman pointing behind them, "As much as I would love to keep this conversation going, me and Neo need to keep going as we still have to check out some places here and we want to be done before evening."

V nodded at him, "Alright."

"It was nice to meet you two. Looking forward to have you both as our new neighbours." O smiled at Roman and Neo, biding them farewell.  Not wasting any time, two pairs of friends turned away from each other and went back to what they were doing a few minutes ago. V and O went back to their sparring session in boxing, slamming their gloves against each other to start the match as Roman and Neo walked out of the gym, finding themselves back on the hallway.

-----

After their brief encounter with V and O in the gym, Roman and Neo went back to what they were doing and made their way out of the HQ, intending to see how the world outside of the large building look like. Once the two thieves walked out of the building, they were immediately greeted by the sun shining brightly above the building. The weather today was really making it a really beautiful and hot day for everyone. No matter if they were a watcher or a character.

Upon walking out of the mansion, Roman and Neo allowed themselves to distance themselves slightly from it as they wanted to take a look on how the building looked like. They already had a mental image out of it from how B, Q, Molly and A2 described it to them, but they preferred to see witht heir very own eyes. After finding themselves in a good distance away from the building, they stopped in their tracks and turned around to look at it.

Roman and Neo felt their awe filled their eyes as soon as they laid their eyes on the watchers HQ as words couldn't describe just how massive and beautiful the building or rather a mansion was. It looked like one of those mansions you'd see either in history books or in action movies about heists. They were certain even Jacques Schnee would be jealous of it. If they were actually living in it right now and would be still on Remnant, then they would definitely try to come up with a way how to rob it.

Upon getting a better look at how the mansion of the watchers looked like, Roman and Neo wasted no time and allowed themselves to explore more of the outside. They turned away from the mansion and a fountain the middle of the yard immediately caught their attention. They stepped closer to the said construction, allowed themselves to take a better look at it. Upon eyeing the fountain, both of them exchanged glances with each other as they came to a mutual opinion on this fountain.

Neither of them would call it anything extraordinary. It looked like a fountain you'd normally see in a park or in a mansion of someone rich who wanted to show off what they could afford to everyone. The fountain consisted of a few figures and all off them had water pouring out of them. Even if they weren't impressed by it because of it being a regular fountain, both of them had to admit it was well made. They could could tell the person who made it must have been someone with lots of experience. when it came to this kind of stuff.

They walked away from the fountain a second later, having no reason to remain next to it for any longer and continued their exploration. As they went further into their exploration, they saw the other attractions and places HQ of the watchers had to offer to them and Roman and Neo to admit one thing to themselves. Whoever created this mansion, they made sure the watchers will not be bored when they won't be occupied with their duties.

One of the most noteworthy things they saw while exploring was a massive pool. It was surrounded by the stuff you'd normally see at the outdoor pool like lawn chair for example and even had a small bar close to it. It was a second pool they had seen during their exploration of the HQ as they saw one more pool earlier. Only the first pool was indoors. This pool had to be used whenever the observers and the characters living with them wanted to spend some quality time during the summer while the pool inside the mansion had to be used for whenever the watchers wanted to exercise a bit.

Neo smiled at the pool the moment she laid her eyes on it, knowing she will have some fun time in it whenever it will be summer and would definitely use her semblance to change into her swimsuit and dive into it if she wasn't occupied with her exploration right now. After moving away from the pool, she made sure to make a mental note out of this place and made sure to come back here to sunbathe and swim a bit when she won't be busy with something.

The second most noteworthy thing they saw was the tennis court. Neither of them had much to say about about this other than the fact that neither of them knew how to play tennis and probably won't use it this much until they moved further and saw it wasn't the only sport related stuff outside. They saw a few ping pong tables and and even a basketball court and football field. The view of them made them certain about one thing. If any of the watchers or the characters were interested in those sports, then they won't get bored around here.

The third of the most noteworthy things they saw during their exploration was definitely all the nature outside the HQ. If they were honest with themselves, they were suprised by the amount of nature they saw outside the massive mansion. They saw a long lake going down the path and a massive forest. With the forest being so massive, they could only imagine all the things it had to offer. Neither of them intended to explore it right now, though as they weren't really interested in nature.

The fourth and probably the last noteworthy thing they got to know a bit better while exploring was the garden. They stumbled upon it and went along with it for the sake of it even they weren't expecting to see anything interesting her aside from the regular stuff you'd see at the garden. It was filled with many plants and flowers neither of them knew the names of. They had to admit something to themselves, though. They couldn't recall the last time they saw so many plants of various types in one place.  Whoever planted them here must have been really interesting in gardening and really knew their stuff about taking care of them.

Neo nodded to herself after walking around the garden for a few moments, knowing she's seen enough to get to know this place enough. With her interest in plants being slim to none, she turned away and pushed herself into walk in the direction she had come from with Roman as she intended to leave the garden and check out the other attractions this place had to offer. If there were any left at this point as she and Roman having already checked already out was a possibility here.

"...Neo. Wait." Roman's voice rang through her ears a second later, making her stop in her tracks.

The short young woman turned around to look at him, "What?"

Roman pointed his finger upwards, "Listen. Can you hear something or is it just me?"

Neo listened to her surroundings for a bit and overheard someone playing an instrument not too far from them. She raised her brow at the sound of this,, "Someone is playing kazoo here?"

"Looks like it." Roman nodded in agreement. The orange haired thief couldn't help but feel a bit confused, though. Who would play kazoo in the middle of a garden like this? Someone must have been really bored.

Roman and Neo exchanged glances with each other, remaining confunsed and suprised by someone playing a kazoo here out of all possible places as they made their way to the source of all this nose and saw a woman in her late 20's working on some plants in the garden. The woman had a medium length black hair and light brown skin. She didn't notice them at first as she was too busy watering some of the plants.

The two criminals raised their brow at the view, suprised to see this woman watering the plants instead of playing kazoo like they thought she will be. If she wasn't playing on the said instrument, then who was it? They located the source of the kazoo sounds a second later as they noticed a green plant in a pot not too far from the woman. What immediately caught Roman and Neo's attention was the fact that this plant seemed to be alive. The plant seemed to take notice of Roman and Neo and quickly turned towards the woman.

The woman hummed to herself, paying attention to her plants until the plant made the kazoo noise, "What's wrong, Peter?"

"...What?" Roman muttered to himself as she exchanged confused and suprised looks with Neo. This woman could really understand what this plant was saying?

The woman turned around, forgetting about watering her plants for a second and set her eyes on Roman and Neo, "Oh! Hello there. Didn't notice you for a second. You must be Roman and Neo. The newcomers I've been hearing about from the rest."

Neo nodded in confirmation, pulling out a sign from behind her, "Yeah. That's us."

"If I received 100 lien everytime someone said it to us today..." Roman muttered under his breath, having lost the count of how many times someone said something like this or something similiar to this to him and Neo.

The woman put her watering can down and looked at Roman and Neo with a kind welcoming smile on her face. She held her hand out towards them for a handshake, "It's nice to meet both of you. You can call me U."

"Yeah. It's nice to meet you too." Roman replied, taking his hand into hers and shaking it for a second until U pulled her hand away from him and shook Neo's hand as well.

Neo flipped her sign a second after ending her handshake with Neo with a questioning look forming on her face, "What are you doing around here?"

U's smiled remained on her face as she pointed behind her, "Just doing my daily routine of taking care of the plants in the garden. Aside from me and sometimes 6O and L, there isn't really anyone around here who takes care of them and it would be a real shame if something happened to them. They're really beautiful. Don't you think?"

Roman shrugged, going along with it as he didn't really care about the plants, "I suppose."

U looked at them with a hopeful expression on her face, "Hey. Would you two be interested in helping out in the garden every now and then?"

"No, thanks. Gardening isn't really my forte." Roman shook his head as Neo nodded in agreement.

"Alright."  U said in understanding, letting out a disappointed, "Looks like I'll have to stick with 6O and L as my only helpers for now."

Roman raised his brow, "L helps you around here?"

U looked suprised by Roman's reaction, "Yes. His help mostly consists watering down the plants and helping me carry a few things, but it's help neverthless. Is it really so suprising to see him helping me out here?"

"Let's just say he never came off as the guy who would be interested in doing something like this from what we've heard about him so far." Roman explained as Neo nodded in confirmation.

"I see." U nodded in confirmation, letting out a small chuckle, "L is helping me out in the garden every now and then as he's a close friend of mine. Hanging out in the garden is one of the ways we spent time together."

Roman nodded in understanding and shifted his gaze to the plant next to U, pointing towards it, "What about this plant? Is it alive."

"It's a 'he' not 'it' and he has a name. His name is Peter." U introduced the plant as Peter to Roman and Neo as Peter made a noise of confirmation, "Before any of you ask, he's a peashooter. I got him from a good friend of mine Crazy Dave a while back. Isn't he adorable?"

Neo shifted her attention from U to Peter a second later and Peter did his best to struck a pose, despite being in a pot to make himself look more adorable. The short young woman shook her head, slightly amused by the plant acting like a child as she flipped her sign, "Yeah. He looks adorable."

"It's a bit weird as well." Roman added his part as Peter narrowed his eyes at him. Neo elbowed him after this, "What?"

"Nothing." Neo signed at to him with a smirk on her face. Just as Roman was about to retort to this, his words died in his throat because a pea hit him in the cheek. He shifted his attention in the direction the pea came from and saw Peter glaring at him.

"Hey!" The orange haired thief exclaimed in a displeased manner, wiping the pea off his cheek as Neo's smirk grew wider. Her smirk was short lived, though as Peter shoot her in the cheek as well, making it fade away in an instant. She shot the living plant a cold look, wiping the pea off her cheek with her glove.

Neo narrowed her eyes at Peter, "Hey! I told you were cute! Why did you shoot at me as well?

"Peter." U called out for Peter in a scolding tone as Peter looked up at his owner and made some more of his noises to defend himself. Apparently understanding him, the female watcher replied to it a second later, "I know you don't like when people call you weird, but it doesn't excuse you shooting them with your peas. Have you forgotten what I told you about it?"

Roman looked at U with a questioning look on his face, "You can understand him? You talk with him like you'd talk with a normal person."

"Not really." U shook her head and shifted her gaze back to them as Peter grumbled something under his breath, "I just had him for quite some time at this point that I can tell what he is feeling at certain times. It's kind of like you owned a dog and got to know it's body language after having them after for a while."

Roman nodded in understanding, "I see."

"I still wish I could understand him, though. You'd be suprised how many times I misinterpret what he wants from me." U told them. She really hoped Peter will gain an ability to speak as he will grew older. If he could speak like Green Shadow for example, then it would make it way easier for him to interact with her and the others.

"Yeah. I can tell." Roman nodded, crossing his arms as he shifted his attention to Neo, "Alright, Neo. I think we should go. If we'll get lucky, we'll find whoever you are looking for."

U raised her brow at this, "What? Are you looking for someone?"

Roman provided her an explanation a second later, "Neo is really interested in meeting them, especially the mute girl as it's not everyday she meets a fellow mute."

"I see." U said in understanding and smiled at them, "Why didn't say so right away? I would have helped you."

Roman raised her brow at her, "Really? You know where they are?"

U nodded in confirmation, smilling at them, "Yup."

Neo looked at her with a pleasantly suprised look on her face, "Where are they, then?"

U pointed upwards, "They're flying with Shay and Skyler right now."

"Shay and Skyler?" Roman raised his brow at the names, having not heard them before as he and Neo looked upwards, seeing nothing but clean sky. He and and Neo looked at each other and exchanged confused glances with each other a second later. As soon as they looked up, they saw two large creatures fly over their heads. Roman's eyes widened in suprise, "...What the hell?!"

Neo's eyes turned white in shock as she quickly pulled out a sign, "What was that?"

U chuckled at their reaction, "A dragon." 

"A goddamn what?!" Roman exclaimed with a suprised look on his face as Neo looked equally as suprised. W and N owned two dragons? They weren't told about by B and Q!

"How about you'll see for yourself." U smiled as she held up her hand. It was when a green vine extended herself from her arm, leaving both Roman and Neo suprised by it. After making sure the vine was high enough, she waved it back and forth a bit and whistled in order to get W and N's attention. Her idea seemed to work as W and N shifted their flying direction and started to make their way towards U, Peter, Roman and Neo.

Roman pointed towards U's vine, "What is that?"

"My super weapon." U explained, making the vine come back to her arm after seeing she managed to gain W and N's attention, "It allows me to form vines around her arms and form them into a weapon like a blade."

"I see." Roman said in understanding, looking impressed by what kind of super weapon U choose for herself, "With it coming out of nowhere from your arm like this, you could easily suprise your opponent or some other asshole trying to get you."

Neo looked equally as impressed by it, "Yeah. It's definitely good for the element of suprise."

"You have no idea idea." U nodded in confirmation, letting out a chuckle, "It saved my butt a few times when I was fighting off zombies in Crazy Dave's world."

"....Zombies?!" Roman and Neo exclaimed in their head at the same time, suprised by the mention of those and how nonchalant U seemed at the mention of them.

Before either of them could make a comment about U's remark about zombies, they stopped themselves with their intentions as W and N made their way to their position and lowered themselves on their dragons. Roman and Neo looked up, finding themselves growing ovehelmed right away as they could tell just how massive W and N's dragon where from where they stood and they could only imagine how massive they will be when they will actually land on the ground.

They got their answer a second later as W and N's dragons landed on the ground with their owners on their backs. Roman and Neo could immediately tell W and N's were different type of dragons from how they looked like. If the dragons had types in the first place. They shifted their attention to the owners of the said creatured a second later. The man they assumed to be W had a short brown hair, brown eyes and lighter skin color. The woman they assumed to be N was a caucasian woman with a long pink hair and brown eyes.

W waved at U, climbing off his dragon and finding himself on the ground, "Hey there, U. Do you need something from us?"

"I just wanted to help someone out as they were looking for you two. N mostly." U explained to him, pointing towards Roman and Neo as N followed W's example and climbed down from her dragon, joining her boyfriend on the ground.

W nodded in understanding as he shifted his attention to Roman and Neo and smiled at the looks they had on their faces right now. He let out a chuckle, pointing behind him towards his and N's dragons, "Pretty cool, huh?"

Roman raised his brow at W's choice of words, feeling suprised and overhelmed by this situation, "Pretty cool? Are you seriously phrasing it like that?"

"Yup." W nodded in confirmation, looking like it was the most normal thing to him.

"These watchers just keep getting weirder." Roman muttered under his breath, shaking his head as he still couldn't believe he was staring at two actualy living dragons.

Neo quickly shook off her suprise and set her eyes on N, signing to her, "Hello."

N looked at Neo with a pleasantly supised look on her face, "Do you know sign language?"

Neo nodded in confirmation, "Yes. Nice to met a fellow mute."

N's eyes lit up a bit as she stepped closer to Neo with an interested look on her face, having not met a fellow mute person like her in a long time, "You're just like me?"

Neo smiled a bit at the interest N showed in her, pointing towards N's pink hair before signing to her, "Yup. In more than ways than just one."

"Actually my hair isn't naturally pink. I dye it. I'm naturally blonde." N explained as Neo chuckled to herself. First O and now N? What was up with the watchers dyeing their hair? She didn't complain about it, though. 

"It doesn't change anything. I dye my hair as well. Do you think the pink part of my hair is natural?" Neo pointed out to N as N stopped in front of her. As N stopped in front of Neo, the short young woman noticed something else about the mute watcher. It how short she was. She was shorter than any of the watchers she had encountered so far. She was still taller than her, though.

"Considering you came from a different universe, I considered this possibility." N admitted with a bit sheepish look on her face as Neo nodded in understanding. N's sheepish look faded away from her face for a second as she pointed behind towards her dragon, "Hey. How about I'll introduce you to Skyler?"

Neo raised her brow, "Skyler?"

N once again pointed towards her dragon, "That's her name. How about I'll introduce her to you?"

As much Neo hated to admit it, she felt slightly nervous at the thought of approaching an actual living dragon, "I'm not sure."

"Relax. She's friendly. You'll see." N signed to Neo with a reassuring look on her face and held out her hand to the short young woman, inviting her in.

Neo shifted her gaze between N and N's hand with an uncertain look on her face, remaining uncertain about it. She let out a sign a second later, giving in to N's offer as she grabbed N's hand, allowing her to take her to Skyler. They made their way to Skyler a second a later second and stopped in front of the dragon. Upon stopping in front of her, Neo felt herself growing more overhelmed because of how massive Skylar was compared to her. She would have easily crushed her if she laid down on her.

"Relax. Like I said. She's friendly." N signed to Neo, seeing her fellow mute getting nervous and overhelmed by Skyler as Skyler titled her head to the side, looking at Neo with an obvious curiosity in her eyes. 

Wanting to prove her point about Skyler being friendly to Neo, the mute watcher reached out towards N and caressed her side a bit. Skyler smiled a bit, feeling pleasured right now as she felt her owner's and friends hand caressing her scales in a way she loved to. Neo shifted her gaze between N and Skyler, feeling slightly suprised by the way Skyler was acting right now as N continued to rub her scales. If she was hones with herself, Skyler's reaction to her action reminded her to that one of a dog or a cat.

N shifted her attention away from Skyler to Neo, proceeding to rub her hand against N's scales and made a gesture with her head, signalling Neo to do the same. Feeling a bit more certain about Skyler being indeed friendly, she took off her glove and reached out towards her. She slowly began to rub her hand along Skyler's scales, feeling them on her hand as Skyler smiled further, feeling more pleasure from the two hands rubbing her right now.

The mute watcher kept her eyes on Neo, seeing how her fellow mute continued to rub her hand against Skyler with a smile on her face. She saw how all the feeling of uncertanity and nervousness faded away from Neo in an instant and was replaced with an awe. If there was one more thing N could tell about Neo, was that she liked the way she painted her nails. Her nails were painted pink, brown and white. Exactly in the same way Neo's hair was dyed. 

She pulled her hand away from Skyler a second later, disappointing her dragon a bit and signed to Neo, "See? I told you she's nice. It's a nice feeling. Right?"

Neo followed N's example and pulled her hand away from Skyler's scales. She smiled at her, putting her glove back on her hand and signed to her a second later, "Yeah. You were right. If I didn't feel any scales on my hand, then I would forget that I am patting a dragon and would think I'm patting a dog or a cat instead."

N smiled back at her, "That's a common reaction. You'd be suprised how much dragons have in common with cats and dogs. They truly are amazing creatures."

"...See? Shay likes you." N and Neo shifted their attention to W's voice and saw a smilling watcher standing next to Roman who was rubbing his hand against W's dragon who was apparently named Shay with an uncertain look on his face.

"This is so weird." Roman stated, remaining weirded out by the fact that he had just patted an actual dragon like a cat or a dog as he really had a hard time believing it was really happening. Shay stared at Roman, allowing the orange haired man to get used to the feeling of his scales against his hand.

"You'll get used to it." W chuckled, slapping Roman's shoulder in a friendly manner, "Want to know what types of dragons my boy over here and Skyler are?"

Roman looked at him with a suprised look on his face, "What? There are multiple types of them?"

"Yup. There are multiple types of dragons. You could write a book about them." W nodded in confirmation, leaving Roman more suprised as he went further into his explanation, "Shay is a Stormcutter and Skyler is a Dramillion."

"Alright. I'm probably going to forget this information, but okay." Roman nodded, moving his hand away from Shay's scales as W and N exchanged glances with each other and nodded, knowing what to do now.

"Now that you two became acquainted with Shay and Skyler." The male watcher began to voice the idea he and N had for Roman and Neo a second later as Roman and Neo looked at him questioningly, "How me and N will give you a ride on them."

"...What?" Roman asked with a suprised look on his face as Neo looked equally suprised. The saying both of them were suprised by the offer, even if they had just patted the two dragons a moment earlier and suprised by the image of both of them riding on the actual dragons was the understatement of the century.

W nodded in confirmation, "You heard me right. Want me and N to give you a ride on Shay and Skyler?"

N shifted her gaze to Neo and signed to her, "Come on. It will be fun. Don't worry about anything happening to you. Me and W are experts in riding."

Neo looked at her fellow mute with a thoughtful look on her face, seeing N meant her words about being an expert and gave her a nod, "Fine. I suppose I can give it a try."

Roman looked at Neo with a suprised look on his face, "What? You want to actually fly on it? Are you crazy?"

"Yes." Neo admitted without a hint of hesitation on her face.

"If she wants to give this a try, then you should give it a try as well, dude. I'll show you some of my sicks riding skills." W told Roman as Roman shifted his gaze everyone around him, remaining hesitant about it.

"You don't need to feel so hesitant about it." U added, trying to help W in changing Roman's mind as Peter made a noise, adding something to prove U's point even if no one understood it, "W and N have made this offer to everyone at the HQ ever since they brought Shay and Skyler here and everyone had a chance to hide on their backs. Not a single accident happened so far. W and N aren't exaggerating about being experts in it."

Roman sighed, giving in as he set his eyes on W, "Fine. But If I will fall down and die, then I will hunt you and your girlfriend for as long as you will be the watcher."

"I'll make sure to remember it." W chuckled as he turned around to look at Shay, "Come on, dude. Let's get to it, then."

"Yeah..." Roman muttered under his breath, pushing himself into walk to follow W.

N looked at Neo and smiled at her, waving at her to follow her as she pushed herself into walk towards Skyler. Neo nodded back at her, following her fellow mute to Skyler as N started to climb up her dragon's back. With how quickly N did it and with how easy it was for her, Neo could tell her fellow mute had done many times before. Following her example, she slowly began to make her make onto Skyler's back as she copied N's movements to make sure she won't fall down and embarass herself.

The short young woman found herself on Skyler's back a second later, sitting behind N as she adjusted her sitting position a bit, trying to make herself a bite more comfortable. N looked over her shoulder and smiled at how Neo was acting right now, considering it a normal reaction from someone who found themselves sitting on Skyler for the first time. Neo glanced at Roman and saw her partner sitting behind W, both of them sitting on top of Shay right now.

Roman looked at Neo a second later, returning her gaze as the two friends exchanged glances with each other. From the looks both of them had on their faces, they could tell they were dealing with similiar feelings right now as neither of them could believe it was actually happening. Touching and patting a dragon was one thing. But actually sitting on it and bracing themselves for a ride on them was something entirely different. Upon exchanging glances with Neo, Roman looked away from her and shifted his attention to W.

"...It feels weird to sit on him." He commented to W, feeling uncomfortable and awkward to be on Shay's back.

"If if it's because of his scales, then you can make it a bit comfortable to you by rubbing your spit on them." W replied as he spit on his hand and rubbed it against Shay's scales, "See? Like this."

Roman looked slightly disgusted by the thought of doing it, "Does it really work?"

W nodded in confirmation, "Yup. We discovered it with our friend Hiccup after we started to train dragons in his world."

"Hiccup?" Roman raised his brow at the unusual name. Who the hell names their kid Hiccup?

"Yup. Really cool guy. I'm sure you'll met him someday if you'll keep hanging around us." W once again nodded in confirmation, "Are you ready to take off?"

"Would you believe me if I said yes?" Roman replied with a question of his own.

W chuckled, patting Shay's head and signalling to him to take off, "Alright. Let's go, bud!"

W and Roman took off into the air on Shay a second later, getting a suprised cry out of Roman because of how sudden it was as the orange haired thief had to put his hand on his hat to make sure it remained on his head. Normally Neo would laugh at Roman's expense in such a situation if she didn't knew it was ahead of her as well. She and N took off into the air on Skyler a second later, the mute young man clutching Skyler' scales as if her lives depended on it as she didn't feel like falling down from Skyler's back for all the obvious reasons.

Neo held her breath, closing her eyes for a second as she felt herself grow more nervous the moment Skyler's left the ground and she found herself above the ground. She opened them a few seconds later and her eyes widened in awe just a second later as she saw herself and N flying right above the roof of the watchers HQ. Her fellow mute looked over her shoulder at Neo, beginning to smile at how awe filled Neo's expression was.

The short young woman looked around herself, allowing herself to take a good look at everything around from above and she felt her awe increase upon doing so.  She saw everything from the air. All the attractions such as the swimming pool and the tennis court. The nature part of the HQ and everything it it had to offer. The forest and the lake. She could see all of it right now and all of it was enough to make her awe grew further. She felt as if she was a kid again and was once again imagining the world of fairy tales from the stories she read in her room.

Roman felt rather similiar to Neo right now. The orange haired thief had a hard time admitting it, but he couldn't remember the last time when he felt so free. Sure. He flew on Bullheads before but flying on an actual living creature which didn'twant to eat you was something completely different. He looked down, setting his eyes on Shay's body and let out a chuckle. If you would have told him last year that he will be riding a dragon, then he would be very skeptical. He wondered what would come next. Riding on an actual Griffon Grimm?

The minutes passed and they continued to fly around the HQ and even extended their zone of action by flying above all the forested area around the mansion. Because of them flying above the forested part of the HQ right now, Roman and Neo saw what the forest had to to offer such as a few caves and ponds even they had no plans of exploring it during their trip. Even they didn't got a chance to see all of those places up close, all of them made mental images of them in their minds.

As those minutes passed, they could have sworn they saw a few people looking out of the windows of HQ at them, but neither Neo on Skyler or Roman on Shay paid much attention to this and those people if there was indeed someone watching them have their flights with W and N on their dragons as what was happening right now was the only thing that mattered to them right now and they intended to make the most of this situation.

------

Time had passed since Roman and Neo had their encounter with W and N and had a ride on the backs of their dragons. The sun had already disappeared from the horizon, allowing the moon to take it's place. Roman and Neo were in the living room, minding their own business as they were trying to kill some time after ending their trip around the HQ. They weren't the only people in the living room right now but neither of them paid much attention to it right now.

Neo smiled a bit, looking at the contact number she received from N after parting ways with her and W. The short young woman didn't have her own phone or whatever the watchers and the characters they befriended were using to contact each other, but she will sure she will put N's number there once she will get her hands on it. Even though they had met just today, they could tell they will become good friends from the pleasant encounter the two mutes had with each other. 

Not only her encounter with N. Neo's entire experience with the watchers HQ was pleasant. Everyone was welcoming of her and Roman and everyone who was aware of her and Roman being criminals or was madea ware of it didn't seem to care about it. All of them treated her like a normal person and didn't seem to mind that she mute. She definitely felt more welcomed in this place than she felt like in Lady Browning's Preparatory Academy For Girls after her mother brought her there.

Back in that school it was hard for her to make any connections with any of the girls attending it back when she cared about trying to be friendly with them as all of them, especially the Malachite twins, treated her like crap. Here the situation was something different because, as she already said, everyone here treated her normally and he could see herself making connections with some of them. All of those things really made her feel like leaving with B, Q, A2 and Molly and giving this place was a chance was worth it.

She pushed herself out of her thoughts a second later as she heard someothing opening the corner of the room. She shifted her gaze to it, seeing it was a portal the watchers create whenever they move between the worlds. She wasn't the only one who noticed it. Everyone in the living room stopped what they were doing and set their eyes on the portal, wondering who was coming out of it. 

They got their answer a second later as B, Q, Molly and A2 walked out of the portal. They must have taken care of whatever business they had with Q's friends and whatever suprised they had prepared for her. They weren't alone as they were accompanied by Pyro. Neo wasn't suprised by his presence as she was aware they were friends with him. Roman wasn't suprised by him either. However what immediately caught Roman and Neo's attention was the fact that they were accompanied by two small robots.

Double D walked over to them with a smile on his face, "You're back!"

"Great. They brought this psycho here again..." Eddy muttered under his breath, looking less than pleased to see Pyro again as he, Ed and Devola followed Double D to B and Q's group. He will never understand why do B and Q like to hang out around him so often. At least Pyro wasn't a bird. He hated birds.

"To be honest I was certain you'll spend the night there after the others told me you left for 2Fort." Devola stated.

"It was our original plan." B nodded as he shifted his gaze to Mimi and Mini, "But something happened and we had to change it."

"Right." Devola smiled, shifting her gaze to Mimi and Mini a few more people in the form of U, C and G walked over to them.

U rubbed her hands with an excited look on her face as she looked at Q, "Q! We saw the picture you posted on our social media! Words can't describe how excited and happy I am for you!"

"Yeah. Congrats." G nodded at her with a smile on his face as C silently nodded at Q with a smile on her face.

Q smiled back back at all of them, feeling touched on the inside by how happy they were for her right now, "Thank you, guys. It means a lot."

"...What's going on here?" Roman asked Neo, confused by what was happening right now as Neo shrugged with an equally confused look on her face. Both of them couldn't help and asked themselves. What was everyone congratulating Q over?

"Now how about you'll introduce your daughters to us?" U asked as she shifted her gaze from Q to Mimi and Mini.

"Daughters....?!" Roman and Neo exclaimed internally, both of them feeling themselves growing more confused by this situation.

"This is exactly what I was planning to do." Q nodded, smilling as she looked down at Mimi and Mini, "Mimi. Mini. Meet U. She's a friend of mom's and a watcher of the multiverse just like me."

"Hello to..." U got interrupted in her greeting by Ed.

"Hello! I'm Ed" Ed cut her off as he greeted the two sisters, excitedly grabbing them and scooping them up as Roman and Neo watched how Ed effortlessly grabbed Mimi and Mini with suprised looks on their face. They were already made aware of Ed's strength from the version of him they met back when they were watching the multiverse with B and Q, but they were certain even that version of him would have trouble in picking up Mimi and Mini.

"Ed!" Eddy cried out after his friend as Ed excitedly stepped away from them, with Mimi and Mini still in his arms.

Ed twirled a bit, smilling at the two robots he was holding in his arms right now, "Hello!"

Double D shook his head at his friends behavior, "Ed!"

"Hello!" Ed repeated himself, doing the same twirling.

Devola chuckled at the scene, "Ed!"

"Hello!" Ed paid no attention to any of their cries and continued to happily twirle around with Mimi and Mini in his arms.Mimi giggled as Ed's behavior as Mini stared at him blankly.

"Should we do something about him?" A2 asked.

Q shook her head, "No. Let him. You know Ed. He won't harm a fly."

"Flies actually like him." Eddy stated, getting chuckles out of a few of them.

Ed stopped and set Mimi and Mini down on the floor with a smile on his face, "Like I was saying! I'm Ed! Nice to meet you too!"

"You already said it Mister." Mini pointed out to Ed.

"Wow! You really are strong Mister!" Mimi said in awe, amazed by how strong Ed was and how he picked her and her sister up without any problem, "Back on 2Fort only Mister. Heavy could pick us up like that!"

"Yup. That's Lumpy for you." Mimi, Mini and Ed shifted their attention to the source of the voice and saw Eddy walking towards them. The others were right behind him. Roman and Neo were on the back of the group.

Roman leaned closer to Devola and whispered to her, "Hey. What's going on here?"

"Right. You're new here and are not on our groups." Devola nodded as she pulled out her phone and unlocked it. She searched on it for a few seconds and showed a picture of Q, Mimi and Mini to Roman and Neo, "See? Q's now a happy mom to these two. It must have been the suprise her friends from that world have prepared for her."

"I see..." Roman voiced his understanding with a suprised look on his face as Neo silently stared at the red haired android with shock evident on her face. Q was a mom now? She just brought them here last night and was now an actual mom to two...?

"Ed. What have I told you about acting like this?" Double D asked, sounding like a disappointed mother.

Ed laughed sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Double D! This is so exciting! Meeting a robot is always awesome! They remind me of Kiara and Devola!"

Mini looked at Devola questioningly, "Hmm?"

"Devola came from the same world as auntie A2. She'a an android. Just like her." Q explained to her daughters.

Devola nodded in confirmation, "Yup."

Mini nodded in understanding, "I see."

"Cool." Mimi nodded, "Who's Kiara, though?"

Eddy shifted his gaze to Double D and explained, "An artificial intelligence created by Double D here. She lives someplace else right now."

"Wow? You really created something like that?" Mimi asked Double D in awe. "You're so smart, mister! Like Mister. Engineer."

"Thank you, but Kiara wasn't entirely created by me. R and C helped me a lot" Double D dismissed it, rubbing the back of his head. Mimi and Mini looked at him with raised brows as both of them, especially Mini, wondered why he was wearing a hat now and how did his head looked like underneath it.

C adjusted her glasses, looking at him, "It doesn't change the fact how much you worked on her and worked on making sure she will come out right and will be a good Ai."

G nodded in agreement, "Exactly."

"It was hard to get you away from her when you were teaching her how to interact with the world around her!" Eddy reminded him.

Devola elbowed Double D playfully, "You're like her papa after all."

"I suppose." Double D replied, slightly overhelmed by what everyone just said to him.

"...Now as I was saying before Ed interrupted me." U went back to her greeting as she leaned down a bit towards Mimi and Mini, "Nice to meet you two! You can call me U or auntie U. Your mom is a good friend of mine! You two are just the cutest things in the world! You're just like my Peter."

Mimi smiled at being called cute by U, "Thank you, auntie U!"

Mini raised her brow, "Who's Peter?"

"He's my plant. I'm sure you two will be great friends with him once you'll met him." U explained, smilling at the images of Q's daughters hanging out with Peter.

"Friends with a plant?" Mini asked in confusion.

U smiled at her, "You'll see what I mean once you'll met him."

Roman and Neo watched silently, seeing the conversations everyone had with the two sisters and didn't really involve themselves with it as the minutes passed. Everyone continued to introduce each other to Mimi and Mini, having a small conversation with the two sisters to make them know a bit more about them in the process. Mimi and Mini, especially the former, made sure to make the most of every interaction they had with their moms' friends who they called uncles and aunts. Just like many of them wanted to be called that by them.

"Hey there, you two." Roman and Neo were pushed out of their thoughts as B's voice rang through their ears. They looked towards him and saw him standing next in front of them with Molly, A2 and Pyro.

Roman nodded at him, "Hey."

Neo pulled out her sign, pointing towards Q, Mimi and Mini, "She's a mom now, huh?"

"Yeah." B nodded in confirmation, "I know what you're feeling right now. I was feeling the same when Pyro's team revealed Mimi and Mini to me and Q." Pyro chuckled, "I'm happy for her nevertheless. You already know how she wanted to have a family of her own. Right?"

Neo flipped her sign, "Yeah. I remember her mentioning it to us and the rest during one of the breaks in Kiara's place."

Molly wrapped her arm around B, "Sweetie. I can already tell babysitting these two will be some much fun. It will be almost as if we had our own kids."

"M-Molly...!" B exclaimed in embarassment, feeling himself blushing underneath his mask at Molly's remark.

"Can you stop with this lovey dovey bullshit in front of me?" A2 asked, looking annoyed by it as Pyro said something neither Roman or Neo could understand, "You could have spared this comment to yourself, you psycho..."

"What did he say?" Roman asked. He still couldn't understand how B, Q, Molly and A2 could understand what was Pyro saying.

"You don't want to know." A2 told him.

"I see you're talking with our newbies." Devola's voice brought all of them out of their conversations 

B shifted her attention to her, "Just checking up on them."

"Who are they mom?" Mimi asked as Mini nodded at the question.

"Roman and Neo. My other friends." Q introduced Roman and Neo to her daughters.

Neo pulled out a sign. Despite being suprised by Q now being a mother, she had to admit to herself. Mimi and Mini were super cute, "Well, hello to you two."

"Hey." Roman added his own greeting a second later.

"Hi." Mimi smiled at them, waving her sentry gun at them as Mini narrowed her eyes at Neo, wondering how did she pulled out this sign out of nowhere.

Roman shifted his gaze away from Mimi and Mini to B a second later, "Can we go somewhere and talk for a bit?"

B rubbed the back of his head, "Right now? I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I can."

"What do you mean?" Roman asked as Neo looked at the masked watcher questioningly.

"Me and Molly need to go somewhere and contact her brother." B explained as Roman tensed up a bit at the mention of Molly's brother.

"Why?" Neo asked. If she wasn't looking for this answer from B now, then she was certain she would be chuckling to Roman's reaction at the mention of Angel Dust.

"Tony was interested in visiting a world with us and we have one visit in mind right now." Molly explained.

Devola looked at them with a curious look on her face, "Really? Where are you planning to go?"

"To Terra. To visit D." Molly replied.

"I see." Devola said, her expression slightly twisting at the mention of D as Roman and Neo took notice of this. 

Eddy rubbed the back of his head, "Really? You just came back here and are already planning to 

"I would rethink this if I were you. R and P have been planning to go there tommorow morning." C added.

"Really?" B asked.

C nodded in confirmation, "Yeah. I overheard them talking about it in my and R's work room. They already settled everything down and will probably head out tommorow." 

"I see." B said in understanding.

Molly looked at B, "If that's the case, then we should go talk with them before'll contact Tony."

"Yeah." B nodded, returning his girlfriend's gaze and pushed himself into walk. Molly followed his example and pushed herself into walk as well, beginning to leave the living room. He shot everyone around him a quick look, "I'll see all of you." He set his eyes on Roman and Neo, "Sorry I couldn't talk with you now."

"It's fine." Neo told him as B nodded at her and Roman. The masked watcher and Molly walked out of the living room a second later.

"If you have something you want to talk about, we can go to my room and talk about it there.I was about to take Mimi and Mini there." Q suggested, "I could show you how my room looks like as well."

Neo nodded at her, "Alright."

"Works for me." Roman shrugged, "Are we going now?"

"Give me moment. I need to talk with G about something." Q said, getting nods out of all of them as she shifted her gaze to G and called out for him, "Hey, G. Will you be at the HQ tommorow?"

"Yeah. I have no plans to leave unless Riggs or someone else from Alpha will call for with a sudden new mission." G replied, "Why are you asking?"

"There are some things I want to discuss with you. It's about Mimi and Mini's diet." Q explained.

G nodded in understanding, "Alright."

Q turned away from G and set her eyes back on Mimi, Mini, Neo and Roman, "Alright. Let's go, all of you."

Roman and Neo silently nodded as Mimi and Mini walked over to their mom. The group of five wasted no time and made their way out of the room as Q started to lead them towards her room. The female watcher looked down a second later, feeling Mimi grabbing her right hand and Mini grabbing her right hand. She smiled down at her daughters, shifting his attention back to the hallway ahead of her as Roman and Neo silently walked behind them.

------

Roman and Neo walked closely behind Q, Mimi and Mini, following her to the female watchers room as they saw her holding hands with Mimi and Mini while she held hands with her two daughters who were looking around their surroundings in a curious manner. Curiosity was especially evident in Mini's eyes. The two thieves exchanged glances with each as both of them were still having a hard time believing one of the watchers who brought them here not a full day ago was not a parent. Time really flew fast, huh?

The group of five reached their destination a second later as Q stopped in front of the door to her room and pulled her hand away from Mimi's. Excusing her older daughter for a second, she pushed the door open and signalled everyone to enter it. She and Mini walked into the room a second later and Mimi, Roman and Neo followed them, the former of the three doing it in a really excited manner as she was really excited about seeing her moms room.

Neo allowed herself to look around Q's upon entering and the short young woman was suprised by how simple it was. It had all the furniture you'd normally see in someone's room and a few other stuff such as Q's personal computer, TV or video game console. She also had a bunch of video and manga on split up around the shelves. It really made Neo reassure her in why B and Q were such good friends as they definitely had lots of common interests if that wasn't obvious enough by now. B's collection of those things was more numerous than Q, though.

The female watcher had a poster on the wall as well. It showed three men which Neo had to admit were rather good looking. A black car was visible on the poster too as it was not too far from those men. Neo couldn't tell what kind of car it was as she had never seen a car like this before. It must have come from the watchers homeworld. She knew what was the title of this TV show or a movie, though as it was written on it. The title of it was Supernatural.

The last  thing Neo noticed about Q's room was a bunch of constructions which were split up around Q's room. If Neo was honest with herself, the constructions looked like they were made of blocks for kids like the one she often saw the commercials of in the TV or in the kids stores whenever she and Roman robbed a store near it or tried to hide in one to get away from the police. The constructions were of various sizes and colors. Some of them were hanging from the ceiling and some of them were standing on the furniture.

Q pulled her hand away from Mini's hand and turned around to look at everyone with a hopeful smile on her face, "So. What do you think?"

Roman rubbed his cheek a bit, "Looks cozy I suppose."

Q smiled at him, "Thanks."

"Is this your room, mom?" Mini asked Q, looking around her mom's room with a curious glint in her eyes.

Q nodded in confirmation as she shifted her gaze to Mini and smiled at her younger daughter, "Yes, sweetie. For now it will be your and your sister's room as well."

Mimi smiled up at her, looking excited about having a room with her mom, "Awesome!"

"At least until we will figure something out for you and your sister and prepare a room for both of you." Q added to what she said a second later.

"Still awesome!" Mimi shouted. No matter if she would have a room with her mom or have her own room with her sister, she wouldn't complain about it as both of those possibilities were awesome to her.

"Mom? What are the boxes on your bed?" Mini asked, getting attention of everyone in the room as everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the younger from the sisters standing in front of Q's bed. Much to everyone, even Q's suprise, they saw they were indeed a bunch of boxes and  wrapped packages.

"Weird. I don't remember leaving all of it on my bed when I prepared myself to leave earlier today." Q stated as she walked over to her bed and eyed all the boxes and wrapped packages on it with a confused look on her face. She saw a piece of paper laying on top of of the pile a second later. Seeing there was something written there, she picked it up began reading it right away, finding out what everything on her bed was in the process..

"We gathered all of the gifts you received from us and the rest of your friends after posting your picture with Mimi and Mini and brought them to your room. Once again congrats on being now a mother.

Your fellow watchers."

Q smiled at the message, feeling touched on the inside after finding out all of her friends prepared gifts for her to celebrate her becoming a mother. It really made her happy to have such good friends. Moments like this really made her glad she became a watcher.

"What is it, mom? Does it says what are those boxes?" Mini asked as Mimi looked at Q's bed, something having caught her attentio on her mom's bed. It was Q's light gray cat pajamas. She walked closer to it, eyeing the it interest. She grabbed the tail part of it and began to playing with it, touching the soft fabric with her normal hand.

"Yes. They're gift for you, your sister  and me from your aunts and uncles." Q explained, getting nod of understanding from Mini as Mimi forgot about the tail she was playing it with immediately shifted her attention to her mom.

"Gifts? Awesome! Can we open them now?" The older of the sisters asked with an excited smile on her face as Roman and Neo exchanged glances with each other after seeing the child like excitement from the older of the sisters.

"They really act like kids..." Roman stated, seeing how Mimi was acting right now as Neo nodded in understanding.

"Sure. How about we'll open one now to get a glimpse of everything and open the rest later once we'll be alone?" Q replied with a question of her own, getting an excited nod out of Mimi as she set the message from her fellow watchers aside.

The female watcher reached towards a box on top of the pile and smiled a bit, already knowing where this gift came from from the way it was packed. She grabbed it, placing it away from the rest of the gifts and opened it a second later. She was greeted by the view of the next message which was written paper. It was laying on top of the gift, whatever it was and it prevented her from seeing what it was. She picked it up a second later, beginning to read it.

"Me and Amity saw the post you made on H's social media about you now being a mom to two daughters and I thought about gifting you and your daughters something. Congrats :)

Your friend Luz."

Q smiled a bit at the message, "As sweet and friendly as always, Luz."

"Who is this girl?" Roman asked, having not heard of this Luz until now.

Q turned around to look at them and smiled, "It's Luz from the Owl House. I'm good friends with her. We met through H who likes to hang out in their world when I visited it with B, A2, Molly and Pyro a while back. We stayed in good contact with each other ever since."

"I see." Roman said in understanding as Neo silently nodded in understanding.

"What's in the box, mom?" Mimi asked, dying of the excitement of what was in the box for her and her family.

Q chuckled at Mimi's excitement, setting the message from Luz aside and as she reached into the box and pulled out what was laying underneath the message a second ago. She pulled out a cat hoodie and it looked like it was for a pre-teen girl. The revelation of it was enough to get the next chuckle out of the red haired young woman, "Of course she would get us something like this."

Neo pulled out a sign, "What do you mean?"

"Luz likes to wear cat hoodies." Q explained, "We sort of bonded it over after H introduced us to each other as we have similiar tastes. You remember what kind of pj's I was wearing earlier. Right?"

Neo flipped her sign with a look of understanding, "Yeah. Now I can see why you two are friends..."

"Yeah. I can see it too." Roman nodded in agreement. Even if he didn't met this Luz before, he could already tell she was someone very familiar to Q, "Pretty childish of you to sleep in a sleepwear like this, despite technically being in your 20's,  but I suppose it's still more mature than Neo's sleepwear."

Neo once again flipped her sign, "Roman. Don't you are..."

Q looked at Roman with an interested look on her face, "Alright. Now I'm interested. Tell me. What are her pjs?"

Roman smirked at Neo and gave Q his answer, "Pink shirt and pants with a bunch of ice cream split up around them."

"I see." Q giggled as Neo elbowed Roman angrily, "So the fanarts were right."

"Fanarts?" Roman asked, tensing up a bit at the mention of it as Neo looked nervous by the mention of them as well. Q raised her brow at ther reaction, not understanding where it came from. She shrugged it off a second later, taking another look into the gift from Luz.

"...Wait. There's something else here." The female watcher said, having just noticed something else in the box as she reached into it with her free hand and pulled out the second cat hoodie. It looked exactly the same like first hoodie. Only this one was of different size. This one looked like it was made for a few year old child. She smiled at the view of them and looked between Mimi and Mini "Looks like my friend got you two matching hoodies!"

Mimi gasped in excitement, wrapping her arms around Mini and shaking her a bit with a happy look on her face, "Isn't that cool sis!? Just imagine both of us walking around with those hoodies now!"

Mini nodded in agreement, "It is nice."

"You know what's the best part about it?" Q asked her daughters, still holding the matching cat hoodies.

Mini looked at her questioningly, "No. Can you tell us, mom?"

"Luz once gifted me the very same hoodie. All three of us can now wear the same hoodies together." Q explained, smilling eagerly at the thought of wearing matching hoodies with her daughters.

Mimi gasped, clapsing her hands excitedly, "Really?"

Q nodded in confirmation, "Yup. How about I'll show it to you later?"

"That would be cool, mom. What about the other gifts? Can we open them now?" Mimi asked, now really wanting to see what was in the other gifts after seeing a glimpse of what could be inside them.

"Like I said. We'll check them out a bit later. Okay?" Q asked, carefully putting down the two hoodies on her bed next to her cat pajamas away from the rest of her gifts.

"Fine." Mimi said, slightly disappointed by it as Mini pushed herself into walk, beginning to explore Q's room a bit more as the younger of the sisters found herself interested in the block constructions split up around her moms' room. 

Her younger daughter set her eyes on the large circle construction a second later, "Mom. What is it?"

"My lego of the Death Star from Star Wars. I put it together a while back." Q explained, smilling a bit as she remember the fun she and B had while putting it together.

Mimi's smiled widely upon getting the explanation from her mom on what it was and rushed towards it with excitement evident, "Cool! Can I touch it?"

"You can, but can you watch out around a bit, Mimi?" Q replied, "Those are really fragile and can be easily broken."

Mimi nodded, reaching  out to touch the Death Star with her normal hand, "Okay!"

"I'll look keep an eye for her, mom!" Mini promised.

"Hey! I'm the older sister! I'm supposed to be keeping eye for you!" Mimi pointed out, stopping herself in what she was doing for a second.

Q chuckled at her daughters bickering as she shfited her attention to Roman and Neo, "What is it you two wanted to talk about?"

Roman crossed his arms, "You really are into putting things together out of blocks?"

Q nodded in confirmation, "Yup and those blocks are called Lego in case you didn't hear me when I explained it to Mini. I loved putting them together since I was a kid. It's tons of fun."

"Ain't you a bit too old for this, though?" Roman asked.

Q took the offense, "Hey! You're never too old for Lego! All of the watchers, especially the male watchers, will agree with me if you ask them about it!"

Roman raised his hands in a defensive manner, "Alright. Alright. Just saying."

Q's expression went back to it's usual self a second, "Now. As I was saying. What did you two wanted to talk about? How was your first day at the HQ? How was the rest of your trip? Did you like the place?"

Neo nodded,  "Yeah. It's a nice place you live in. You and B weren't lying to us when you told this place has many attractions. From everything we've seen, I know you can't get bored around here. Or at least get bored for a long amount of time. The trip was nice as well. Everyone was nice"

"Aside from that little plant shooting me in the cheek." Roman added, recalling what happened between him and Peter.

Q giggled, "That's Peter to you. Don't worry. He's a nice little fella for as long as you don't make any comment about him he won't like which something I suspect you did."

Roman sighed, "Yeah..."

Neo flipped her sign, "I even met the mute watcher you told me about. She's a nice woman. She was really excited about meeting her after I told her I am mute as as well."

"I'm sure she was." Q nodded with a smile on her face. From what she was seeing right now, she could tell Neo got along with N and found a common language in her and it made her happy on the inside. She was glad both of them will have someone to relate to in their disability.

Roman crossed, "Why did you forget to tell us one part about N and that boyfriend of hers?"

Q chuckled, already knowing what was Roman talking about, "Let me guess. They introduced you to Shay and Skyler?"

"Yeah." Roman nodded in confirmation, "By the way. Did you and B forgot to tell us about two of your fellow watchers owning actual living dragons."

"We thought we could suprise you a bit." Q explained, "Did it worked? Were you two suprised?"

Roman crossed his arms, "You have no idea. If you would have told me that I will see an actual dragon before I became aware of this multiverse stuff, then I would have been very skeptical. Not to mention riding one."

Q looked at him with a look of understanding on her face, her smile refusing to leave her face, "I see. They offered you a ride on Skyler and Shay?"

"Yup." Roman nodded in confirmation.

"I'm not suprised. It's something they do whenever they introduce someone new to Shay and Skyler." Q explained, feeling her smile grow a bit as she remembered when N and W brought Skyler and Shay into the HQ and asked her and B if they wanted a ride. It was a really fun time for both of them, "How was it, though? Was it fun?"

Neo smiled a bit, "It was pretty neat once you got over the nervousness of doing it for the first time and once you got over the feeling that they can bite your head off for looking at them wrong."

"Yeah." Roman nodded in agreement, "Flying on W's dragon was one of the best experienced I had in a long time."

"Good to know I liked. I honestly envy you two for having a chance to experience it for the first time." Q admitted. The same went for Mimi and Mini. Her smile grew wider at the thought of how her daughters will react when Mimi and Mini will kbe introduced to Shay and Skyler by W and N, "So. I take it you don't regret accepting my and B's offer to bring you here?"

Neo shook her head, "Not really."

"It's still better than what we had to deal with back on Remnant." Roman shrugged, "It was worth giving this place a try. At least for now. We'll be sticking around here for longer."

Q smiled happily as she moved towards Roman and Neo and hugged them, "Alright! I'm so happy you're not regretting your decision to come with us."

"Mom? What's going on?" Mini asked, having turned her attention away from Q's lego sets and looked at the scene of her mom hugging Roman and Neo with a curious look on her face.

Q pulled away from Roman and Neo and turned around to look at her daughters with a smile on her face, "Nothing. I was just showing our Aunt Neo and Uncle Roman that I was happy that they would stay with us."

"I see." Mini said in understanding as Mimi pushed herself into run, running past Q and made her way to Roman and Neo. She hugged both of them a second later as Roman and Neo were both taken aback by the tight hug the older from the sisters gave them.

"Kid. Why are you hugging us?" Roman asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"No reason. I just wanted to hug my mom's friends." Mimi explained as Roman and Neo exchanged glances with each other, both of them thinking about the way Q just called them.

The female watcher called them auntie Neo and uncle Roman. Roman and Neo didn't really knew what to think about being considered an aunt and uncle to someone like Mimi and Mini. The short young woman looked down at Mimi a second later and saw Q's oldest daughter looked up at her with a smile on her face, showing off her shark teeth to them. Neo smiled back at her a second later, forgetting about the feelings she got a few seconds earlier and hugged Mimi back, getting a happy giggle out of the robot girl.

------

Neo looked around her room, bouncing up and down on her feet as she waited for B to arrive at her room. With him and Q having to postpone their visit to Terra a bit because of R and P already going there and neither of them really wanted to go on a trip there with R, knowing how well it end. The mute young woman couldn't blame them for it. Even though her experience with R wasn't as large as these two, she wouldn't agree to go on a trip with this woman as well in fear of her doing pulling off some stunt with her behavior. This postpone would work well for Mimi and Mini as well as it would allow the two sisters to settle down in the HQ.

After postponing his visit by a few days or at least until R and P will come back from Terra, B contacted her last night when she was hanging out in her new room and asked her if they can have their first yoga session as his plans were changed and had nothing planned for tommorow. Neo agreed to his idea and was waiting for him right now because of it. She had already prepared everything for her yoga hangout with B. She had used her semblance to change from her usual clothes into her yoga attire and had set up two yoga mats on the floor.

She shifted her attention from the mats to the door to her room as someone knocked on it a few times. The mute young woman clapped her hands two times, letting the person on the hallway know they can walk in and B appeared in her view a second later as he pushed the door to her room open and walked into it. Upon seeing him walk into her room, she eyed him for a moment and saw him wearing what she assumed to be his attire whenever he was exercising. His mask was present on his face. She wasn't suprised by the view of him having it on even when he's in such an outfit as she more than knew about him and his mask being inseparable at this point.

"Hey. Good day to you." The masked watcher greeted her, closing the door behind him as he walked a bit deeper into her room to stop next to her. From the tone of his voice, Neo could tell he was smilling underneath his mask. Neo nodded at him, returning his greeting as B asked him, "How was your second night here?"

Neo shrugged, pulling out a sign, "Pretty good I suppose. Had a good sleep here and weren't kept awake by my thoughts on how things will look like around here like I did during my first night here. Yesterday was pretty nice as well in case Q didn't tell you about the conversation me and Roman had with her. It was a nice change from having to worried about Cinder for 24/7 like I and Roman to do back on Remnant."

"Really?" B asked, sounding like he was pleased to hear it. He was the one who brought Neo here in the first place. Of course he would be pleased by her liking her stay at the watchers HQ so far.

Neo nodded in confirmation, flipping her sign, "Yeah. Everyone was pretty welcoming of me and Roman. Even if they knew about us being criminals. You weren't exaggerating when you told me and Roman how people around here will instantly accept us after you and Q convinced us to come back with you."

"Why would me and Q exaggerate it to you and Roman? Even if you two are criminals and have done some questionable things, it wouldn't be fair of me and Q to lie to you about our home as we were the ones inviting you to live with us. " B replied as Neo shrugged at him, "I'm glad you're not disappointed by our home, by the way. You'll see. A few days and you'll feel right at home here with everyone."

Neo nodded at him with a hint of smile forming on her face. Something on the back of her head was telling her that would be the case here, "We'll have to wait and see."

B smiled at her underneath his mask as he turned away from her a second later and looked around her room.  Her room was quite empty because it was still in stock's state. It will probably get redesigned more in Neo's style as the days will pass, "What about your room? Are you planning to redesign it a bit as something tells me you won't keep it in the state it is in right now?"

"Yup. I already have a few idea on how to make it look like my room back in Remnant did." Neo nodded in confirmation as she turned around to look towards the electrical outlet in the corner of her room, "I'll definitely get myself a small refrigerator where I will keep my ice cream in. Better to have it under my nose so I'll be able to have my favourite snack whenever I'll wait, right?"

B chuckled at her choice, "Out of all things you could have decided to put in your room, a refrigerator to keep your ice cream in is your first thing you decided on?"

Neo smiled at him, once again flipping her sign, "What? A woman needs to have her favourite snack always close to her."

"I suppose. If there was a way I could keep my favourite snack from my homecountry, then I would definitely keep it close to myself." B once again chuckled as he set his eyes on the two yoga mats Neo had set up for him and her, "Are we starting now?"

Neo shook her head, "In a moment. I need to ask you about something before we'll start."

B looked at her questioningly, "Really? What is it?"

Neo felt herself growing slightly embarassed as she flipped her sign, voicing her question to B in her own way, "I and Roman did some research on your homeworld and we came across some content fans of our world made of us. The kind of content you don't want to see."

B nodded at her, feeling bad for the short woman, "O-Oh, I see. You stumbled upon porn people in my homeworld made of you?"

Neo nodded in confirmation, "Yes."

B rubbed the back of his head, "Well, I'm sorry you had to see it..."

"This isn't what I came to talk with you about, though." Neo revealed.

B looked at her questioningly underneath his mask, "What is it, then?"

Neo provided him her question a second later, "If you used to have a crush on me before you met Molly, does that mean you've ever looked at those arts of me?"

B tensed up slightly, finding himself forming a blush. He was surely glad he kept his face covered by his mask now otherwise his flustered and embarassed expression would have immediately given Neo the answer to her question, "...N-No."

Neo blushed slightly. Considering the pause B had before he gave her his reply, she had no idea whether she should believe him or not. If she was honest with herself she was starting to regret bringing this up to B in the first place as the thought of him having possibly seen her naked will not leave the back of her head mind for a long time. She really wanted to do something to Roman for planting this thought in her in the first place.

B broke the silence between them a second later, "Let's just agree this conversation never took place."

Neo nodded in agreement, "Agreed."

B rubbed the back of his head, still feeling the awkwardness of the topic Neo had brought up to him, "...Alright. So. How do we start this?"

Neo flipped her sign, pointing towards the mats with her free hand, "How about you'll get down on one of those and show me what you can do to show me much work I have ahead of me if i want to make you more flexible?"

"Okay." B nodded as he took off his flip flops and walked over to the mat. Upon placing his feet on it, he wasted no time and began to show off his flexible skills or rather none of them to Neo. Neo crossed her arms with a judgemental look on her face, cringing slightly at the view of B showing his non-existent yoga skills to her. It immediately made her certain she had a lot of work ahead of her if she was supposed to make the masked watcher more flexible.

Even if Neo was cringing slightly at B's absolute lack of flexibility and knowing she had a lot of work ahead of her when it came to him, she couldn't help but smile slightly as she felt like she and Roman will be doing just fine in the new environment they had found themselves in.

Here we go with the next chapter. I'm so glad I managed to get it done before the end of 2023.

Yup. A chapter about a character. This book won't have just chapters focused on the wathcers, but will also have chapters focused on the characters associated with them. With the amount of characters this book will have, not having chapters focused on them would be a waste.

Happy New Year everyone and I'll see you all in 2024! :)
