"Please. You don't need to be jealous Zen, you said it before you have your head. You don't need the ability to do that."
Ben pep-talked Zenix, and Zenix smirked, "Yeah right, my dumb-ass can't even get a decent grade in math."
Mr. Waltermoor shook his head and smiled, "It's nice to see that. You two haven't changed a bit. You're keeping up the good mood, I presume?"
Zenix and Ben looked at each other before putting their arm on each other's shoulders, "Well, someone has to do it, and to be honest, if we don't have a little humor, they'll be at each other's throats faster than you could say, Zombie," Zenix said, and almost everyone smiled.
Lea then said, "We're just glad you came back safe and sound. The little ability upgrade is also nice, but we missed you guys." Mr. Waltermore nodded and then looked right at Noah.
He smiled at him, "Well, may I ask who that is? I don't remember if we have met."
Noah looked at Mr. Waltermoor and smiled, "I'm Noah. I woke up in a classroom yesterday, and now I'm here."
 Mr.  Waltermoor had a confused look on his face, "Didn't we go to almost all the classrooms and spray them? We surely would have noticed it if someone was still alive."
Loraine then stood up abruptly, and as if forgotten what would have just happened to her, she pointed a finger at Noah, "See, I told you all he was weird. Even Mr. Waltermoor knows it, and to think you wanted to get rid of me for such a nobody." Lea, Cindy, Jay, Roy, and Ted glared at her. Jay then said, "Mrs. Loraine over here was opening old wounds and being a hypocrite. Not to mention that she almost got me and Lea killed. But with her continuing to bully one of our new comrades, it was enough."

"Yeah, I'm sorry if I'm causing a lot of trouble. But I can be helpful, I know a few things about chemicals, and I can help look for stuff other people might forget," Noah said and smiled slightly, bending his eyes like crescent moons. Jay looked at Noah and felt that he was just too cute. He really wanted to pet him. Maison was just watching the interaction between them.
Mr. Waltermoor smiled, "Well then, also from me a welcome to the Team. Yes, I do remember that incident it was the week before we looked outside for supplies. The supplies are outside in a truck we found on the way. Maybe Ben can help us get through the zombies later. But for now, let's rest. All of us. The situation with you, Loraine, we will talk about tomorrow, when I'm well rested." Loraine looked to the ground with a face that screamed, unwilling and a bit of fear. Mr. Waltermoor stood up, and with him, his daughter Steph, they both walked out and probably to sleep.
They heard a, "Have a good rest" from almost everyone before they went out.
Maison walked up to Jay, "Could you come with me for a sec? You just look too much like my lost brother. Maybe tell me about that accident you mentioned before?" He had a somewhat pleading look, his blue eyes glistened, and he bit his lip nervously. Jay had a confused look, but only for a second, as soon as Maison spoke those words, it turned into curiosity. So Jay nodded and walked with him outside.

Ben and Zenix first looked at each other and then at Noah. As soon as Noah blinked, the both of them were in front of Noah. Noah looked up at them with a questioning look.
Both of them smiled mischievously down at him, "You must be so curious about what they're talking about, right?"
Zenix said, and Ben nodded, "Yes, I mean why else would you come to us to ask if we could go with you to look? And maybe overhear their conversation."
Noah blinked and didn't know if he should laugh, "Guys, I'm really n-"
"Very curious, we know, and we are so glad you came to us. We know where the conversation will most likely be and, of course, how to listen without being noticed." Noah was a bit perplexed, and Lea and Cindy tried to hold their laugh back.
"We must hurry if we want to know so..." Ben said, and so he and Zenix positioned themselves on either side of Noah. Taking his arm and almost carrying him out to a room right beside the classroom they were just in. Silently opening the door to a small room with a lot of cables. Noah could already hear the conversation starting. Zenix closed the door silently. All three of them stood side by side in the small room.
