A Deal

– Amelia Buck's Office, Site-19 - 2:00 AM –

In the first scene, it shows Green entering Amelia's office, once he enters, he sees Amelia sitting on a chair, asleep with her head resting on the table. 

It was an exhausting day for her and the gang, going back to her apartment was risky given she was a target, so it made sense why she would fall asleep in her own office. 

As he began to approach her, he looked at her for a moment. Not gonna lie, he found it cute how she was asleep, he gave a smile and gently patted her head. Furthermore, he couldn't help but look at her beautiful face. 

Suddenly the woman he was patting opened her eyes.

"Green?"

"Hey. Didn't bother you, did I?" 

As Amelia stood up, she rubbed her eyes and replied, "No. Not at all. Just trying to get some sleep, that's all. What brings you here?"

"Just decided to come check on you. That's all."

"I see. How are your wounds?"

"They're still healing but I'll be fine."

"....I still find it hard to believe that we almost lost, thanks to my Stand that has awakened, pretty much it changed the tide of the battle."

"Well I'm glad it happened. Otherwise god knows what would have happened if Albert's blue smoke reached the SCP cells. So basically you saved the site."

"And you took out the leader of a Stand faction."

"Well we both did something."

"Yeah...." As she let out a smile, her expression suddenly changed in the next moment, "Green, what if the foundation really declares us as SCPs?"

"It won't come to that. You gotta trust Emma on this."

"I know, but still."

Green held her right hand and reassured her, "Don't worry Amelia, as long as we have each other's backs, nothing bad will ever happen. Alright?" 

"Alright."

Green nods and kisses her forehead before they both hug each other. 

"Green?"

"Yeah?"

"For now can we keep our relationship hidden from the others, because I don't want 'him' to find out."

"Your father?" 

"Y-Yes."

"I have no problem with it. And hey I'm not leaving you anytime soon."

"Thank you. I'm really glad I met you that day, Thomas. Even though it wasn't the friendliest first meeting."

"Yeah. But hey, not everybody's first meeting starts on a friendly note." 

"True." She nodded.

They hear a knock on the door, which they quickly break away from the hug.

"Come in."

The door opened, which the person who went in appears to be a pink humanoid with a feminine figurr.. 

"Michelle, what brings you here?" Amelia asked.

"I just wanted to, you know see if you were alright."

"I assure you , Michelle I'm perfectly fine."

"...If you don't mind can I see your Stand?"

"Mm..... sure, why not?"

As she calmly called out her Stand, Locked Away, the Stand of Dr. Amelia Buck appeared behind her which smiled at everyone sweetly.

"Knock. Knock."

"Locked Away?" Green questioned.

"Yeah that's the name I gave to my Stand."

"Wow! Your Stand's very pretty." Michelle marveled as her eyes were sparkling.

Locked Away floats in front of Michelle and pats her head. Locked Away's touch was gentle and calm almost like a mother's. 

"You're quite nice."

"Knock." The female Stand smiled.

"It seems to have a personality of its own."

"What do you mean by that?" Amelia asked.

"You see, Stands are like a reflection of one's soul. So pretty much some Stands might have your personality or a separate independent personality but follow the users commands no matter what. So I kind of find it surprising that your Stand is acting happy, rather than strict like you are."

"Yeah, now that I think about it does make sense."

"Let me call my Stand out." Green said before calling his Stand out. Next moment, Cerberus appears beside Green.

"War. War."

"Knock. Knock." Locked Away waved her hand with a smile.

"War. War." Cerberus waved back.

"Uhhh, this is adorable." Michelle couldn't help but feel adore at this interaction.

"Do you think my Stand has a personality of its own as well?" Green asked.

"Hmm... well he is interacting with Locked Away and waving at her, so perhaps. But hey they are part of you. What you feel they feel as well, and just because you have a Stand, doesn't make you different. You're still human."

"That's quite nice of you to say."

"I agree with Green as well." 

"Thanks." Michelle smiled.

The door opened again and this time it was Simmons.

"Dr. Buck, it's Spy." He reported.

"What does he want?" Amelia asked, this time in a cold tone.

"Help."

"What?"

———————————————————————

In a containment cell for SPCs, Spy was sitting on a bed inside his containment cell. His weapons and gear were confiscated, his armor pieces were also in Foundation custody as well. 

The room was silent, including him, who was in deep in thought, thinking he should make an escape plan or lose hope, but why should he? Well, he wasn't officially planning it yet, he got some requests to make first.

As he was thinking in his own world, the cell door of his cell opened, coming out was Amelia, Green and Simmons. 

"Ah, hello again, Dr. Buck." He then looked at Green, "And also Agent Green, please..... go fuck yourself."

"Haha, funny."

"What do you want, Spy?" Amelia crossed her arms and asked coldly.

"Sigh..." Spy sighed. 

'Since when did I get soft?' He thought to himself, it isn't like him but it seemed like this world is changing him not only physically but emotionally as well.

"...Well, I need you to get Jack Barton's family and bring them here."

"What?"

"Look there is a chance my client has gotten wind of our failure and will try to use Jack's family in some way to get back at you or at Jack since he dragged himself into this deal to get his sick wife back in good health."

"But why are you asking us to do it?"

"Look, Jack's Stand is incredibly dangerous in its own way and no doubt he will use his Stand to escape this facility and go back to his family. But still, it won't change the fact our client might try to tie up loose ends. One of those loose ends being me and my team. And you can use Jack's family as a way to keep Jack fully cooperating with your Foundation."

Spy stood up and continued, "So please. Help him. And believe me this is not a trick."

"...then will you tell us who your client is and how you got the Stand arrow if we do this?"

"You uphold my end of the bargain first. Then I will uphold yours."

"Alright. We'll do it your way."

"Excellent. Now I suggest you get a move on." 

Amelia and Simmons leave the cell, leaving Green who continues on glaring at Spy for a couple of moments.

"If it's a trick to get to Amelia and the Arrow, I will end you." He threatened.

"Just go, mon ami. See if it's a trick or not." Spy said. Green tried to see if his words had any hidden intentions, but he couldn't help but feel his words were being serious.

Sighing underneath his breath, Green leaves the cell as it closes.

 – In a Hospital Somewhere in America - 2:23 AM –

In a ward room, Martha was lying on the bed fast asleep, until a zipper opened on the ceiling and from it came Jeff. Jeff lands on the floor quietly and approaches her.

"Hey, wake up!"

Opening her eyes a little bit, when Martha saw Jeff, her eyes widened but Jeff quickly said. 

"I know your husband, Jack."

"What? How do you know him? And what are you!?" 

"Look, you'll get the answers to your questions later. But right now, there is a chance that very bad people might come after you and your son."

"What?!"

"So please.... trust me."

Martha took a deep breath and sighs, she thought for a moment, why should she trust some strange creature that he is talking to her, but hearing his words made her feel she needed to trust him.

"Ok. But the only reason I'm coming with you is to find out how you know my husband and seeing my son safe."

"Fair enough."

———————————————————————

Outside a restaurant, Jake, Jack's son exits from the back door of the building while holding two bags of trash in his hands as he heads for the trash bin. 

He dumps the trash into the trash bin and when he looks to the left, he sees a van with its lights turn on all of a sudden, blinding him for a bit until a purple colored figure approaches him. It was Kreig and inside the van were two Foundation agents. 

"Holy fuck! What in god's name are you?!" He exclaimed.

[Just a guy. Now come with us.] Sane Kreig said.

"And why would I do that?" He said cautiously.

[Because we know your father, you and your mother are in danger.]

"What?! Why are we in danger?!"

[Come with us if you want to live.]

Looking around him, Jake sees there is a deadend behind him, the door leading to the building is closed and if he wants to get in quickly, he might not be fast enough to outrun that strange purple creature just a few meters from him. Second of all, there are two guys with guns behind him, no doubt that he has nowhere to go.

With no choice, Jake sighs, "Alright. But I'm only following you because I want to know whether my mom and dad are safe."

[Good. Now get in the van.]

———————————————————————

Back to Spy's containment cell, the door of the room opened, appearing to be Amelia. Spy, who was lying in his bed in silence, turns his gaze at her. 

"So did you do it?" 

"Yes we did. Now Spy, tell me everything."

".....I found the Arrow in a cave located in Canada, months ago." He began to explain, "Because that is where I first appeared before entering America to sell it to someone. And that is until... he found me."

"Your client?"

"Yes..." He nodded and continued, "He offered me 12 million dollars in exchange for the Arrow and.... you, Dr. Buck. And since I'm a mercenary, I obviously took the offer so that I could get paid. Then I met Alvin, the one who has become this Stand called Chilli Pepper from what he had called it, and pretty much he told me what the Arrow is capable of, including how Stands work and with the Arrow well... I made Stand users, such as Albert, Josh and Jack. I told them about the deal and they accepted it. I didn't manipulate them, I just told them about the deal and they gave their reasons why they want to do this and well I accepted them into it."

"Why are you telling me this?" Amelia asked, couldn't help but questioned why Spy is giving up some information and never resisting. Including his behavior, from she had heard from Rodeo who explain everything about him, she felt he didn't seem to be very care, especially towards a family from a person he just met for weeks.

Listening to Amelia's question, Spy simply answered, "Because you have captured us and our client is smart. Whenever I see that man's yellow eyes, or hear his voice on the phone, I see a man who is ready to go many lengths to get what he wants and is ready to kill, or get rid of anybody who is a failure or a loose end, like me and my team."

He continued, "But now you have the arrow, which means he will try to get his hands dirty to get it. And I'm pretty sure the other organizations and Stand factions out there have found out as well. The winds are shifting doctor and trouble will come right at your doorstep. That is why I'm telling you this." 

"I see. But who is your client?"

"The ones who breed chaos."

When Amelia heard the word Chaos... She knew who Spy was talking about. 

The Chaos Insurgency. 

"So I suggest you better be careful out there."

"Says the one who almost killed Rodeo and the rest."

"I was just doing my job."

".....Thank you for your cooperation, Spy."

"You're welcome."

"....I will say though, you made a mistake in making a deal with the CI."

"Like I said. I was just doing my job, and I had no info regarding the CI until Alvin told me how they work. Which only made me suspect my client more."

"....Did your client give a name?" 

"No."

"I see. Goodbye, Spy."

As the last of her questions were answered, Amelia left the cell. 

Once she left the room, Spy returned to lay in his bed and murmured something in his thoughts.

'Dr. Buck, you better get ready for the next wave of events that will happen.'
