Chapitre 99: The Gecko
– Green's Apartment, America - 4:25 AM –
It's been only a day since Rodeo and the gang got their new room in Site-17, although no new lead has come up with the arrows, Stand users or Human Stands it's been quite normal.... for now at least. The mole however, has not yet been found.
Currently, Green and Amelia were asleep on the bed together in the bedroom. Amelia was only wearing in her bra while Green was shirtless, only wearing his gray pants. Both were asleep and hugging each other just after their 'little' night session.
A piece of paper was flying outside the living room window and then suddenly it went through the gap of the window and entered the living room.... strange?
RIII—!
The alarm clock in the bedroom started alarming, as Amelia stood up, she yawned.
"Locked Away. Turn off the alarm."
Following her words, her Stand appeared and closed the alarm.
"Knock. Knock."
"Morning to you as well."
Once her Stand disappeared, Amelia looked at Green who was still sleeping and smiled. Ever since they confessed their feelings for each other, gained a Stand and started a relationship they've been getting along quite happily. While she's happy with it, she still doesn't want anybody to find out, especially her father. She just wanted this to last.... No. They both wanted this love between them to last as long as this world still breathed.
She then calmly says, "Thomas."
Slowly opening his eyes, Green looked at her with a smile and responded, "Morning. You look beautiful when you smile."
"Don't I always?"
"You always do."
They both let out a small chuckle and gave a loving kiss to each other before breaking away from it at the next moment.
"Soooo want me to make breakfast?"
"No, I'll handle it."
"Whatever you say, doc." He said jokingly, causing Amelia to punch him in the chest.
"Ow! I'm just kidding."
"I know. Just don't call me doc. Also freshen yourself up. We have a lot of work today at the foundation."
"Yeah, a lot"
Once the two of them got up, Green went to the bathroom while Amelia went to the living room.
Meanwhile in the living room, the paper was flying around everywhere and then it went for one of the desks in the living room and floated in front of it, suddenly, an arm came out of the paper and opened the drawer. The arms color was purple, perhaps a humanoid of some sort.
As the humanoid continued to search, it heard the bedroom door opening, so it quickly closed the drawer and reeled its arm back in the paper before quickly hiding underneath the couch.
The door opens and Amelia heads for the kitchen to make breakfast for herself and Green. Amelia calls out Locked Away and they both help each other out in making breakfast.
The paper slightly comes out of the couch and then flies into the bedroom. The paper heads towards the closet, both of the humanoid arms come out of the paper and open the closet, only to see multiple clothes, especially a lab coat and a jacket as well which belonged to Green and Amelia. It then checked the pockets of both the labcoat and the jacket and found a wallet in both of them.
"Now let's take a look shall we." It said in an American accent.
Hurriedly closed the closet doors, it reeled its arm back into the paper and hid underneath the bed. The humanoid brought out both his arms and head as well and looked at the wallets which had Scp employee cards in them with Amelia's and Green's name written on them.
'Dr. Amelia Buck and Agent Thomas Green. Scp Foundation researcher & scientist and MTF soldier & Agent. Seems like these are the two the boss told me to keep an eye on, and to find out what their Stands are. And lastly, to find the arrow as well.' It thought.
The humanoid heard the bathroom door open and it was Green who was now wearing a green shirt and blue jeans and was drying his hair with a towel. The humanoid quickly moves without Green noticing, puts the cards inside the wallets and places it on a small desk which is next to the bed before quickly flies out of the room through a gap in the window using the paper.
Stopping drying his hair, Green went to open the closet and took his jacket but noticed that his wallet was missing.
"That's strange."
Looking around, Green saw that his and Amelia's wallet were on a small desk.
"I could have sworn we kept it in the closet."
Heading for the desk and checked his wallet first to see everything was there. He wanted to check Amelia's but decided not to.
'Maybe Amelia must have kept them here.' Green thought he just accepted the fact and headed for the living room to see Amelia had already set the food on the dining table.
"Food smells great."
"Applaud the taste first, Thomas."
"I will. Also the hot water is still running if you want to take a shower."
"You don't have to tell me you know."
"Well I said it, just in case you forget."
"I don't forget about anything."
"I know. Just saying."
"Thomas, just eat your food. It's gonna get cold. I'll be with you shortly."
Watching Amelia heads for the bathroom, Green took a chair and sat in front of a table and started having his breakfast.
"Taste really good. It's even better than my cooking." He mumbled.
Mostly the two would stay in different apartments but due to the fact that Amelia was a target for the Chaos Insurgency and that Spy and his gang knew where she lived and might have relayed that information to the CI. So it was the safer option for her to stay with him rather than apart. And given that they have Stands, they can at least protect each other even if they did come for her.
Cerberus then appeared behind Green.
"War. War."
"Hey, Cerberus." Green pats his head or should I say heads, "The CI haven't pulled a stunt yet nor any Stand factions. So far it's been peaceful, which makes me a bit more worried."
"War."
"Look Cerberus, you're part of me so you know what I feel and what I'm thinking. And what I'm thinking is that the CI is gonna pull more moves on the foundation in the future, possibly even the GOC. They've been quiet. Too quiet. Which makes me think they're gonna do something, and combine that with the Stand factions out there, we have a lot of stuff on our hands."
"War. War." The Stand nodded in agreement.
"Thanks for understanding. Let's do our best."
Cerberus gave a thumbs up, Green smiled at his Stand and was about to continue to eat. But suddenly, a small common house gecko falls on the table from the ceiling.
"Whoa!"
When Green yelled out, it frightened the gecko, causing all the items and things and even Green within a seven meter radius began being thrown around left and right due to gravity being shifted.
Is this the work of an enemy Stand?
No.
This is the work of the gecko which actually is one of the many Scp-1136 instances located everywhere around the world. When an instance of Scp-1136 gets frightened or startled this will lead to gravity shifting and gravity will shift according to where the gecko moves or positions itself. This will keep on going on until the gecko calms down. When it calms down, gravity will stop shifting.
(A/n: Basically it's the Scp version of C-moon.)
The paper in which the humanoid was, was floating outside the window, witnessing the entire thing.
"What the hell is this?"
Meanwhile Amelia who was wearing a dark blue buttoned shirt, long gray pants and wearing a labcoat over her shirt was also being thrown left and right & up and down due to the gravity shift. Amelia gets slammed into a wall and then she sees a small desk about to hit her.
"Locked Away!"
Locked Away appears and quickly kicks it away from Amelia. Then gravity shifts again and she along with her Stand gets thrown towards the door and slammed into it. She quickly opened the door and saw the living room, Green and a buttload of other items being thrown left and right.
"GREEN!"
Then Amelia gets pulled up towards the ceiling and slams into it before slamming into the floor. Green meanwhile gets slammed into a fridge, he looks forward and sees a buttload of sharp utensils heading towards him.
"CERBERUS!"
Calling him out, Cerberus appears beside Green, doing a pose and quickly unleashes a barrage of punches, punching the utensils away. Green saw Amelia on the floor and then said to her.
"Amelia! You alright?!"
"Does it look like it?!"
"Ok forget that. Gravity is shifting and I think it's because of that lizard." Green said, pointing to the table where the little gecko was, Amelia got up but started floating in the air due to the gravity and saw the gecko on the table.
The gecko started to move along the table which it was on started floating upwards, Amelia's Stand floated towards the table and once she touched its body, a keyhole appeared and the gecko got locked in place preventing it from moving. Locked Away holds the gecko with both her hands and gently pets its head.
Even though the gecko couldn't see her, it started to calm down due to her gently petting it, causing the gravity to turn off and all items and furniture came crashing down on the floor including Amelia and Green.
The humanoid who was still outside the window said, "Now... I have seen everything." The humanoid said as it reeled his head back into the paper and flew away from the window.
Meanwhile, as Amelia and Green got up from the floor, Green mumbled, "This is not how I wanted our morning to start." He said while rubbing the back of his head.
"You and I both. Let's take a look at the lizard."
The two approached Locked Away who was still holding the gecko. Amelia took a careful look at it and confirmed her thoughts..
"Just as I thought, it's an instance of Scp-1136. Seems like their population has expanded to cities as well."
"And we were unfortunate enough to almost fall victim to it." Green said.
"True, we should take it to Site-17 with us."
"Ok, buuut this mess isn't going to clean itself."
They both looked at the living room and the bed room and pretty much everything was a complete mess due to the gravity shift.
"We're gonna be late then."
"Not if we use our Stands to clean this mess up quicker."
"....Yes... but first let's keep 1136 contained."
"Any ideas?"
Amelia looks at the gecko and says, "Just one."
Ten seconds later, the gecko was inside a glass jar with a lid on top of it. The lid had tiny holes in it to give air to the gecko, which was currently kept in the bathroom while Amelia and Green were cleaning up the mess made by it.
Sitting in the jar in utter silence, the gecko looks at its reflection being made by the jar's glass, it then mentally says to itself.
'I am lonely.'
———————————————————————
– Outside the Apartment - 4:39 AM –
After cleaning up the mess the two along with Scp-1136 were inside a car. Green was in the driver's seat while Amelia was in the front seat and the jar in which 1136 is kept in the back seat with Locked Away and Cerberus, sitting on the back seats to make sure that the gecko didn't get frightened or startled while they head for Site-17.
As Green starts the engine, he drives down the road and heads for Site-17.
Unbeknownst to them, a piece of paper was following them without them noticing at all, not even their Stands could sense it coming.
