Katherine sighed a little, seeing as Desmond having to explain himself to Mike also made him tell them to go back inside, that there was always time for checking out the truck later.
Damn it, Mike. I wanted to see, she thought, grumbling a little in his direction as she started to walk back. She felt a little chilly outside, weird, because it had just stopped raining, wouldn't it be a little humid? Rubbing her elbows for a little warmth, she walked back inside, glancing back to see if Mike was coming back inside with her. Hm.
She thought about what they had been doing before, upstairs, wondering how that was going to turn out. She'd never done anything like that before, mainly because she was never deemed that desirable by many. She never even considered doing that with her squad mates, the only people that were like her. They were like family, and she wasn't too keen on incest.
She chuckled a little because of that thought as she went back inside the garage. "Let's check up on these kids," she said to herself, looking around to pick her SCAR back up. She'd have to thank David for it when this was all over. It had proved quite invaluable. Her Battalion had been supplied with them before, but being in inactive service, she never handled one that much. Now she was realizing just why it was the best choice for the Rangers.
Am I even a Ranger anymore? My family's dead, they'll write me off as dead unless I somehow get back to base. What's the point? They'll fit me in with another squad. A squad I don't know. I won't be welcome ruining their family. She sighed and leaned against the wall for a moment. My only choice is to start a new life...or end this one. Bah, that's a little to drastic for ya, ain't it, Kate? She shook her thoughts away and proceeded back inside, to check up on everyone.
If I had to guess, they're all in each others' pants by now.

The Overseer let out a low chuckle. "It...it suits you." He spared a glance at the younger girl, noting the expression on her face. "I was just joking," he explained. "Better on you then me."
Not giving her time to say anything, the man got up from the couch, then looked back at her. "I don't want to be a jerk or anything, but I still need to get Kate. You see her anywhere?"

"I'm right here," suddenly declared a voice from behind the Overseer. It was Kate, who had just entered the doorway to his left from the garage.
"What do you need, sir?" she asked, propping her gun against her shoulder with one arm. Her other hand was fidgeting a little, flexing and clenching for some reason. She was aching for a cigarette, but because of Faye's asthma and everyone's blatant hate of the smoke, she was out of luck.
She didn't realize that the Overseer had his mask off.

Mike heard Kate grumble, likely 'cause Des didn't much care for being interogated and canceled the weapon expo. He guessed he couldn't blame him. He watched Kate go inside and he wondered what he should do.
After pausing and thinking for a moment, he followed her inside. He saw the jerk with the gas mask talking with Kate and Faye. Might have been more but he couldn't see around everyone. He sighed, unsure if he should join Kate or not. He kept a slight distance, enough to hear what was going on but far enough not to be called upon and absently twisted some of his long brown hair around a finger repeatedly.

The Overseer turned around, a bit of hair going in between his eyes. The man sighed, raising one hand and pushing it out of his face. He let himself glance over at Mike before turning back to kate. "Maybe somewhere without the civilians? It's important."
(She should probably notice Faye just...chilling with the gas mask on. XD)

Faye tilted her head at Kate as she walked in, and giggled bemusedly, probably slightly weird still from the lack of oxygen she'd experience earlier.
"Haha, Kate, you look kinda funny through these lenses," she said, shaking her head back and forth, looking in between the Overseer and Kate, who seemed not to have noticed the man no longer had his mask on.

Kate nodded at him, seeing as this might be something serious and not meant for civilians. "Yes, Sir," she said, turning to go with him. Glancing back, she noticed Faye with something black on her face. A mask. A gas mask.
The Overseer's gas mask.
Kate gave a gasp and looked at Overseer, surprised to see his actual face. He doesn't look that bad, she thought, thinking he would have been horrendously scarred underneath. He was very defined, actually. She couldn't help herself, though.
"Oh my goodness, you actually have a face!"

Gavin got up and headed to the garage to look for the inhaler. David had again fallen asleep in the car so Gavin was quiet. He saw it lying near a wall. He picked it up and went inside. Then he stopped at the door.
'I need to talk to Faye about something' he thought, 'privately'. So instead of just handing her the inhaler he walked upstairs and into Dave's sister's room. As he passed the shower he thought he heard a noise. He ignored it and called for Faye.

Mike was more than a little shocked to see the face of the prick who got him reassigned. He figured the Overseer would be older or battle-scarred or something. I mean, why the hell else would he wear that thing unless...
Anger rising, Mike stepped forward, "Beggin' your pardon, "sir" but just why the f**k were you wearing that mask? Something ELSE you forget to tell us about?" Mike was about ready to throw a fist into the exposed face but was going to at least wait to see if this Slender Man b**tard was hazzardous to breath first.

Faye turned slightly, hearing someone the sounded alot like Gavin calling her from upstairs. Gas mask still on, she trotted out of the room, with a slight wave at Kate, Mike and the Overseer. She went up the stairs slowly, looking for Gavin.
"Gavin, hey you up here?"

He said, a trace of anger in his voice. "It's my mothers genes I expect." He turned to address Mike. "Oh, to be honest, I didn't want to be brain fucked by the things tentacles. Or impaled. Choose whichever you like." He gave a mock shrug, then walked out of the room, looking back to make sure Kate was following him.

"Well, he has a point," said Kate to Mike, glancing back for a moment before following the Overseer out of the room. "What is it that you need, Sir?" she asked him when they were away from the others.

"I wanted to apologize for what I said earlier...I know I can't REALLY apologize for what happened again and that it wouldn't change anything."
The man looked around, thinking of what to say next. "But this? These civilians, and the Rangers? They're the mission now. Getting them out ALIVE. You made me realize that.. I should have focused on that at the start."
Maybe none of this would have happened, he thought.
"You, David and Mike are all I can really rely on right now to keep these people safe. I want to ask if you're going to follow my orders, at least until we get out of here. Because honestly, fighting now isn't going to get ANYTHING done."

Seething with anger, Mike watched him and Kate walk off. ""Brain-F**ked", eh? Thanks for the warning, ya b**tard..." he muttered to himself. Seeing as he was not invited and Kate even took the masked b**tard's side, he let Kate go and decided to storm off to blow off some steam. He needed a fight really bad right now.
He headed off in the direction of the garage as he heard the shower going. He had suspicions that something...naughty...might be going on up there due to Jake and Mai's behavior earlier but he was not about to steal from their time together. He started lookin for a punching bag but, finding none, he helped himself to the pull-up bar he discovered.

Kate scowled at him, seeing him trying to take command. "Look, I'm over it. Yes, I broke down, but it's behind me. What's done is done, sorry ain't gonna change it." She paused for a moment before continuing, "And about orders. Why should we let you in charge? Because you know more about this thing? We need to work as a team, this isn't a squad or a fire team, it's a group of survivors. Someone trying to lead will lead to fights and problems and I see that not helping us at all."
She let her SCAR drop down a little so she could hold it with both hands. "We'll make decisions as a team. No leaders here."
