The cold air of the spire hit your face as soon as you opened the hatch. Maybe Nelson was right when he said not to wear those tights. You hopped down to the floor, landing with a soft thud. Nelson was already working on the screens ahead, Ben standing off to the side. You approached slowly, glancing at what he was doing.
"Any buttons that blow us up?" You asked playfully, leaning against the console.
"No. But I'm sure you'd find one." Nelson replied bluntly; he never was one to be careful with his words. If anything he made them as mean as possible just to piss you off.
"yeah yeah whatever you say, but you know I'm your favorite employee."
"You're my only employee." He finally glanced at you, his eyes icy blue.
Nelson didn't have blue eyes of course, he had green ones. You only knew that from the old Syntec days before he had died where you spent every meeting staring into them. But now that he was using Matthias as a vessel, he, unfortunately, did not have the same emerald eyes.
"What about Ben over there? He counts right?" You pouted. Being favorite was only fun if it was by choice.
"I control his every move. He doesn't work for me willingly. You follow me around like a rodent. There's a difference." His sharp gaze moved back to the task at hand. He sat down in a stool. There was a bit of metal clinking nearby but you assumed it was just the chair.
"Well, I think we're ready. Ben, why don't you go the surface to see if subject 4 has solved the code." Nelsons voice was low and demanding as he turned to Ben. "Also...deal with her." He spoke as he turned towards the ladder. You followed his gaze and saw a frightful Sam holding a camera. She began going up the ladder hurriedly, Ben followed after her.
You smirked. looking at Nelson who was looking at the screens ahead thoughtfully.
"You gonna take control of me after this is over?" You asked, leaning forwards.
"Please. What's the purpose of taking over any one if i don't have your bratty little self around." Nelson replied, making you a tad flustered.
Ben came back down the ladder, paper in hand. Handing it to Nelson.
"Peppermint. Interesting."
Nelson entered the code and opened the glass covering around the big red button that would give him control over everyone and everything in this timeline.
"You ready?" He asked, looking into your eyes with a hint of fondness.
"You own the future right?"
"No, we own the future." He replied with a smile and pressed the button.
The screens lit up green. He had won, no, you had won. You looked over at Nelson who had a huge grin on his face. He looked at you, and for a moment you could see the real Nelson in his smile.
