 Right Hand Man's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was walking down the hall holding a folder of paperwork but then someone tapped me on the shoulder. I almost dropped the papers, powered up my laser eye, turned, and nearly vaporized Ellie and the girl beside her. The young girl lept behind Ellie and Ellie said, "Amber, it's ok we just spooked him. Right Hand Man can be a bit jumpy, he is very protective of the clan. Though he mainly is protective of his boyfriend and son." I turned, slapped Ellie in the face, and snapped, "You're not s'pposed to tell an'one not a Toppat 'bout me and Reginald's relationship. And 'specially not 'bout Sven being mah and Reggie's son. 'Hat could be used 'gainst us to get info on the clan." "Hey! don't slap my sister!" The younger girl shouted. "You wanna try me, kid?" I snarled as I shifted my cybernetic hand to a huge sword and powered up my laser eye again. "Don't provoke him, he is a lot stronger than he looks. Right Hand Man is also second in command so I wouldn't mess with him. Also, don't sing anything from Hamilton around him. Last time I did he whacked me repeatedly with a cafeteria table. Don't insult the LBGTQ+ community around him either, Orange Hat Kid did once and he got his guts ripped out and thrown through a propeller." Ellie explained. I shifted my hand back to normal and turned of my laser eye. "Right, this is my sister, Amber," Ellie told me. "She joinin' the Toppats?" I asked. "Yup!" Amber said. "Come on, let's get ya reg'stered," I grumbled, "Follow me." I lead them to Reginald's office and walked in. Reginald looked up from his paperwork and smiled. "Righty, I wasn't expecting you," he said. Reginald blushed when he saw Ellie and Amber and cleared his throat. "Well, uh, who is this Ellie?" Reginald asked. "This is my little sister, Amber. She is 16 and younger than Jacob," explained Ellie. "Well get her a top hat and find her a room. Right, give those papers to Sven so we can work our son to death," Laughed Reginald. Amber looked appalled and Reginald said, "Just kidding, give me some of his work. Sven works too much and he only works a little less now that Burt is back." He shook his head and took the paperwork from me. I sat down in the armchair in the corner. I began to boredly program a new tool for the new mini ship. 

 Reginald's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right Hand Man was programing a missile launcher for our new probe. I heard Amber ask, "Wait, the Right Hand Man's boyfriend is his boss, and they are not married and have a son!?!" "Yeah, it's a bit confusing but they love each other and they are a cute couple," I heard Ellie respond. I rolled my eyes, saw Right Hand Man stand up, and told him, "Don't!" "Fine, fine," he said and sat back down. After a little while, Sven and Burt walked in. "Hey, could we have the weekend off? We want to spend some time in New York City," Sven asked. "Right, opinion?" I asked. "Well, alright I s'pose so. Just wear some disguises, 'cause I don't wanna have to run a rescue op," Right Hand Man said. Sven leaned on the taller, headphone-tophat-wearing male and said, "Thanks, dads!" They walked out hand-in-hand and me and Right Hand Man got back to work. "Aren't they cute?" asked Right. "Like us when we were younger, except for the fact that we had guns and we were robbing banks every day," I agreed. We both laughed and got back to work. I finished filing the papers and got up to refill my coffee. "Do you want some coffee, Right?" I asked "Naw, I'm good," Right Hand Man said. I walked down the hall to the cafeteria and went in. I set my mug in the coffee maker and switched it on. As I waited for my mug to fill with coffee, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and saw Carol, "Boss, about the new recruit, Ellie Rose's little sister," she said, "What about her?" I asked "She, uh, just punched about four other Toppats in the lounge," Carol responded. "Oh geez, well, tell Ellie and have her sent to her room," I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. I grabbed my coffee cup and went back to my office. I sat down and set my coffee cup to the side. "Amber Rose just knocked out four Toppats," I said and slammed my head down on the table. "What, why?" Right Hand Man asked "To assert her dominance, I'd guess," I replied. I picked up my head and rubbed my temples. Right walked over to me and rubbed my back, "Time for a littl' break, eh Reg?" He said. "No- Yes," I yawned.
