Water and Ice
As Maka was getting ready to leave CHS Headquarters she noticed something interesting.
She sees someone typing away at a computer in a random room she just happened to be walking by.
She stopped by the door and peered into the room quietly so she wouldn’t be noticed.
After getting a closer look at who it was Maka felt a shiver go down her spine.
‘What the Hell!’ Maka thinks to herself. ‘Why is Calder here?’
As she tries to get an even closer look she accidentally trips and falls over a trash can near the front of the room.
“Shit!”
“Huh! Who the hell was…” Calder turns around. “...Maka…what are you doing here?!”
“I could ask you the same damn thing!”
“Like I'd tell you anything…” Calder says as he turns around to get back to what he was doing before he was interrupted.
“Hey!” Maka yells as she walks behind Calder and spins his chair around so that he is staring directly at her. “Answer me punk!”
“...I don’t have to tell you anything…” Calder says with a smug expression.
“That’s it!” Maka grabs Calder by his shirt collar. “It looks like I’ll just have to make you talk!”
Calder spits in Maka’s face.
“You motherfucker!”
Maka slams Calder into the desk, knocking over and breaking the computer screen in the process.
“You’re crazy!” Calder says. He is actually getting scared now.
“You’re an asshole!”
Calder grabs the hand that Maka was using to hold him and begins to freeze it.
“Shit!” Maka says as she drops Calder and grabs her own hand.
Calder quickly pulls a flashdrive out from the console of the computer and bolts for the door.
“Where do you think you’re going, you little shit?!” Maka says as she makes a buzzsaw out of water and hurls it at Calder.
Calder quickly ducks and it grazes the doorframe. He then scurries out the door and starts running down the hallway.
“Oh! No you don’t!” Maka yells as she sprints out of the room and after Calder.
Maka runs after Calder until she eventually catches up to him. When she does so she tackles him to the ground.
“...Now answer my question!” Maka says while trying to catch her breath. “...What…are you doing here…and what’s on the flash drive?”
“Bite me!” Calder says with a sneer.
“Oh! You think I won’t?!” Maka says as she bares her fangs and growls at Calder.
“God Dammit! Fine!” Calder finally submits. “You win! Are you happy now?”
“Not until you tell me what I want to know!”
“Alright!” Calder screams. “Let me up first.”
“Why should I?”
“Because this is incredibly uncomfortable.”
“You know how many people would be dying to be in your position right now?” Maka says with a smug grin.
“...Pervert…”
“What did you just say?!”
“Nothing!” Calder says with his hands up in front of him to defend himself. “I didn’t say anything!”
Maka still doesn’t trust him. Calder sighs.
“...It’s not like I even have the energy to run away right now…”
Maka thinks it over for a moment before finally letting him up.
“Fine, but no more bullshit. Alright?”
Calder stands up and dusts himself off.
“...So…” Maka slams her fists together. “What are you doing here?”
Calder crosses his arms and sighs.
“...I…was trying to hack into the CHS security system.”
“Why?”
Calder glared at Maka.
“Because I wanted to try to find some dirt on you and all of your dumb little friends!”
Maka’s anger comes roaring back.
“What did you see?!” She says while holding Calder’s collar again with a raised fist.
“...I think you know what I saw…” Calder says with a smug grin.
Maka punches Calder in the face.
“You have no right to look into my past!” Maka screams.
Calder just shrugs, his smug look returning to his face.
Maka throws Calder to the ground in a fit of rage.
She gets ready to punch Calder again who flinches in response.
She doesn’t actually end up punching Calder because she knew it wasn’t worth it, but she has to punch something right now.
She speedwalks over to a nearby water cooler and tips it over, kicks over a filing cabinet, grabs and throws the same filing cabinet, and punches a nearby wall about thirty times.
Calder tries to use this tantrum to his advantage to escape undetected, but Maka notices this.
She grabs a chair and throws it on the wall right next to Calder.
“...You missed…” Calder says.
“...I missed on purpose…” Maka says while slowly walking towards Calder. “I may be furious at you right now, but I don’t want to kill you. Hell, I don’t want to kill anyone. I may seem like a mindless brute, but I do have a code of honor.”
Maka then holds out her hand.
“...The flash drive…”
Calder sighs and places the flash drive in Maka’s hand.
“Thank you, ice prick!” Maka says with a shit eating grin.
Maka begins to walk away, but Calder stops her.
“You know this isn’t over right?” Calder states.
“I know.”
“Once I get into contact with my dad you are going to be in so much trouble.”
“...Really…” Maka turns around. “...I am sure that the CHS, the school, and your father are going to love hearing about how you broke into a government facility for your own personal gain.”
“...So…you just did the same exact thing…”
Maka walks up to Calder and gets right up into his face.
“If I'm going down, I'm taking you down with me!”
Calder takes a step back.
“...Whatever…” He says while putting his hands back into his pockets.
Maka starts her walk back to SUPER while flipping the flash drive in her fingers.
Maka goes back to her dorm room, goes to her computer, and plugs the flash drive in.
A chill immediately goes down her spine. She can’t believe what she is looking at.
“...What…what the fuck…”
