Rain Down


By: KaKaVegeGurl


Author’s Note:

Chapter 12!

In the last chapter we got to see Ram, who was now walking and Slade, who was watching a group of Technos marching into the Mall, including Jack and Mega.

Jack came to Ved and comforted him, obviously we all know that he’s... Lying, hence the title of the last chapter.

If you all were wondering what was wrong with Ebony in the last chappie, yer about to find out.

I hope that all of you are ready to bite into this chapter, sit back and enjoy! Have a nice steaming cup of yaoi!

Side Notes:

Leave me out with the waste

This is not what I do

It's the wrong kind of place

To be thinking of you

It's the wrong time

For somebody new

It's a small crime

And I've got no excuse

Is that alright?

Leave me out with the waste

This is not what I'd do

It's the wrong kind of place

To be cheating on you

Nine Crimes - Damien Rice

Chapter XII: Is That Alright?
Mega glared down at the empty seat above the piles of trash in the dump yard, he felt like kicking it, “Search the area, I want him found!”

The other Techno men around him scattered through the junk area in search for Ram.


Ved didn’t want to get up, he couldn’t stop smiling. This was the happiest he’d been in a long time and he couldn’t help not wanting to move from the bed.

His entire chest seemed a bit lighter now that he was sure that Jack was on their side, it was all just an act, and he could live with that as long as it stayed that way. He only hoped that Jack could continue to fight the power of the Technos, he was sure Mega was trying as hard as he could to get Jack one hundred percent on their side.

He had noticed changes in Jack’s eyes over the course of their previous session, the change from hollowness and hopelessness to complete peace and love. Jack was under Mega’s thrall, but it wasn’t strong enough when he was around Ved.

Just as his thoughts were turning through his mind he heard a knock on the door of his room, but he didn’t have a door.

“Yes?” He turned and smiled wide, sitting bolt upright in the bed, “Jack!”

Standing at the doorway, leaning against the frame was Jack, Techno’d out with his mask and uniform, he was smiling, “I thought for sure you’d be out of bed by now.”

Ved smiled and stood from the bed, wearing only his boxers. He moved to the door and took Jack’s hands in his, “It’s hard to want to get up and away after last night. I thought you said you’d be a while before you came back again.”

“Plans can change,” Jack pulled Ved close and kissed him sweetly, just being around Ved more was his remedy against Mega, he felt the memories locking up and tossing their selves in the trash can and he pushed Ved back to the bed.

“You’re not too sore from last night are you?”

Ved shook his head in complete honesty, “Never.”

Jack grinned, grabbing at the boxers and slipping them down and off of Ved, he laid kisses down Ved’s chest and pulled his leg up onto his own waist.

“I want to be here more with you,” Jack whispered in his ear, “I feel like I haven’t seen you in a long time, and it’s pulling us apart from each other.”

The blond agreed, it’d been a long while since he’d seen Jack, he missed this.


Jay rubbed Ebony’s back as she vomited into the bucket again, this was the second morning now, and he wasn’t slow, he knew exactly what this meant.

She got up and wiped her face with a washcloth, grabbed her toiletries and stormed out of the room.

“Is she alright?”

Jay looked back to see Selene walking into the room, obviously having just dodged Ebony on the way in.

“Yeah.”

“Was she sick?” Selene sat on the bed beside Jay, “She’s not got eating problems does she?”

“Not unless you count eating unusual things at high volumes,” Jay said in a pondering voice, he felt like he was in a daze, but he hadn’t realized what he’d just told Selene and he turned to her, her eyes were wide in shock.

“She’s pregnant?!”

Jay turned away and rubbed his temples, he felt a headache coming on, the last thing he needed was people pestering him about Ebony, and he stood from the bed finally, “Don’t tell anybody.”

Selene stood up too, “You going to her?”

“No, she doesn’t want to be around me right now. I’m going to go see Ved.”

Selene seemed to understand completely, if Ebony knew what was up then the last person she wanted to see right now was most likely Jay. He would give her some time to cool down and then they would have to have a long talk.


Jack pulled on his mask as he entered the Hotel later that day, he walked in, down the hall and into the main control room.

His eyes fell immediately to Mega, who sat at the main computer, typing away.

“How are the figures for the bar coding?” Jack asked, walking up behind him and resting his hands on the back of the office chair that Mega was sitting in..

Mega was startled by Jack’s voice, he closed the program he was working on and turned to his leader, “About thirty percent are bar coded inside of the city.”

Jack frowned at Mega’s reaction and leaned in, “Just thirty?”

“Yes, but we’ve only been werking on it a couple of days,” Mega felt his stomach fall into his feet as he stared up into the mask, “it’s always a slow process in the beginning.”

“Or your not doing your job properly,” Jack glared down at Mega, and pulled him from the seat by the collar of the shirt, “What was that program you were just on?”

Mega’s eyes widened in fear, “J-Just a small prototype, nothing important.”

“Nothing important?” Jack was more angry now and what Mega could see of his face showed it, “Then why are you wasting your time on it when you could be working on the bar coding process? I need all men at hand. Not slacking off with cute little computer games.”

Mega backed away, pulling his collar from Jack’s hands, and glared back at him, “You could be doing more too, you know. Instead of going to that stupid Mall Rat, every time you get done with me, and screwing his brains out.”

Jack hissed and grabbed Mega by his collar again, “That’s a very brave notion. And you have nothing to prove it. It’s not like you have anything better here to offer me.” He pulled Mega flush against him and forced him into a kiss.

Mega gasped and melted into the action, grabbing Jack by the hair and pulling him into a more crushing lip-lock, that could’ve bruised their mouths.

Jack pushed Mega down onto the desk and unbuckled his belt.


“Are you sure he means what he says?”

Ved frowned at Jay’s words and stood from the bed, his hair was messy as he ran his hand through it out of frustration. His brother was wise enough that for Ved it was his ‘banged senseless hair of disarray’; Jay had seen it more then enough times in the past when Jack was still a Mall Rat and was working at the Hotel under Ram, “What do you mean by that?”

Jay put up his hands in defense and shrugged, “I just think that, if Mega has programmed him, then there might be a few things that you’re not noticing. Things that you should’ve noticed and that you might be overlooking.”

“Like?”

“Like Mega’s reaction when you showed up yesterday and Jack saw you.”

Ved raised a brow at this as he pulled his black techno pants on, “He reacted at all?”

“Very much,” Jay put his hands down and walked to Ved, putting a hand on his shoulder, “When Jack saw you and discarded everything else Mega got angry. And when Jack told him to leave as well, he stormed off. I think something might be going on between Jack and Mega.”

“Never,” Ved said without missing a beat.

“You don’t know that for sure,” Jay countered, “Things aren’t always what they seem.”

“I’d say that.”

Jay and Ved both turned to see Ellie standing at the bedroom door.

“Ellie?” Jay turned to her fully now, “What do you want?”

“Ebony’s up there in the bathroom puking her guts out and refusing to leave, and no one can use it,” Ellie was glaring, her arms closed over her chest, “And you’re in here trying to play ‘two brothers’. Maybe you should think about someone besides Ved for a while.”

Jay stepped to her and glared, “Maybe you should think about someone besides yourself, Ellie. It gets old after a while.”

Ellie gasped as the blond stormed off from the room, her shock only lasted a sort moment when she turned to Ved and smiled, “And what are you doing, still moping?”

“I’ve got better things to do then mope,” Ved said and pulled on his shirt, “like keep my energy up for the next time Jack comes to the mall.”

Ellie frowned at this and her arms fell from their closed position, “Sounds like he’s only in it for the sex to me.”

“Sounds like you’re a desperate old hag that can’t get anybody, to me.” Ved smiled at her and left them room for the café.

Ebony sat at a table in the café sipping a warm cup of tea, she watched as Ved stormed up the stairs with Ellie right behind him.

“You know he’s only using you, Jack doesn’t care about anyone besides himself.”

Ved shook his head and ignored her, taking a seat in front of Ebony, “Go bother someone else for a change and leave me alone.”

Ellie crossed her arms again, “I’m just trying to help you, all he’s going to do is break your heart. And you’ll have no one.”

“Like you?” Ebony said with a raised brow, “Oh wait, I must’ve got my stories mixed up, that was what you did to Jack. Not the other way around, silly me.”

“It was nothing like that, I was ready for him and he still didn’t want me.”

“Because you’re garbage girly,” Ebony turned to Ellie and stood, “You were only ready for him after you fed his heart to the dogs and Luke left you. Jack’s not like you and he won’t do that to Ved. Now shut your trap and go wallow in all of your self misery.”

Ellie looked as though she was tearing up when she turned and stormed away from the café.

Ved smiled wide at her retreating back, “Thanks for that.”

Ebony nodded and sat back down in her seat, “No problem, she just a miserable bat these days. Can’t get any enjoyment in life but trying to ruin other’s.”

“I see that.” Ved said and stood up, walking into the kitchen to make himself a drink.

“How are you and Jack since everything happened?” Ebony asked curiously.

Ved walked back in and sat before her once more, “We’re great. It sucks having to be apart but he’s doing what he can to save the tribe.”


Jay watched a few guards walk through the hallway as he hid on the other side of a wall, he moved out as they left and he started up the way they had come from, he took a few turns and knocked on the main office door, no answer.

But there was always someone in there, he knocked again, nothing still. Finally he opened the door and looked inside. His eyes went wide in shock.

At the main computer and against the desk was a sight that not only took him by complete surprise, but it completely proved everything he had been saying to Ved before. Neither Mega, nor Jack had noticed him though. They were too busy with each other at the moment and Jay slowly and quietly closed the door back.

He squeezed his eyes shut as he heard Mega let out a loud moan from the room. He had to leave, he couldn’t be seen here. He rushed back down the hallway and left the Hotel at a fast pace.

His only thought as he walked from the building was: ‘What do I tell Ved?’


Ending Notes:

Sorry Chapter 12 took so long to come out guys!

Jay walked in on Mega and Jack, oh no. Poor Ved? What do you lot think? Do you think Jay will tell Ved about what he saw?

And OMG, Ebony’s preggy? Le wow.
