An hour later, Natasha came into the room she shared with Sam, to find him with two notebooks full of plans and calculations. A few failed attempts were crumpled up and scattered across the room. He also had his laptop open, doing research on different mechanical components, and where to get them.
"Did you send him our contact info?" she asked as she went to the desk to set her laptop up for her secrete guilty pleasure, known only to her roommate, online gaming. She knew the answer, and not just because they didn't contact her, for someone with such an amazing memory, he tends to be very forgetful.
"Oh yeah..." the boy mumbled awkwardly, proving Natasha right, "give me a minute."
"No, now, or, you'll forget again," sometimes she felt more like his mom than his friend.
Sam got out his phone and sent a text to the brown-haired man, sharing the contacts for everyone in the group. Then, as an afterthought, texted who it was. "Done," he announced. deciding that he was done working for the day, the boy switched browser windows to the manga that he and Rebecca were reading.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ulrich's phone went off while they were watching a monster movie that Odd insisted that they watched, despite the blond texting throughout the entire thing. When questioned, an hour ago, he just said that it was something important.
"Guess who finally decided to text back," the brown-haired man smirked, as he looked at his phone.
"Good, I was starting to worry that he'd forget and Einstein would have to fake another XANA attack!" Odd half-joked.
"I'm putting their contact info in our group chat," he told them while doing just that. Soon all of their phones went off, and everyone added everyone's contacts, as Ulrich sent the boy all of their contact info.
Yumi took the liberty of setting up a group chat for both generations of Lyoko Warriors. Odd was the first to add to it.
"Hello, new Lyoko warriors! This is Odd! One of the OG Lyoko warriors!" he texted.
Chapter 11
I’m writing this chapter chatroom style with several chats going on simultaneously. I’m bolding and right aligning all side chats. The side chat remains the same until a different side chat is declared. And no, Sam’s gender will not be the main plot just one of the subplots I plan on writing for this story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All Lyoko Warriors’ chat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Odd: Hello, new lyoko warriors! This is Odd one of the OG Lyoko warriors!
Yumi: Ok so does everyone have everyone’s number or do we all need to introduce ourselves?
Ruby: no one sent us any of your numbers sam >:(
Sam: They never game me their numbers
Ulrich: that would be my fault I never game him our numbers
Ulrich: This is Ulrich btw
New chat: Sam, Odd, and Jack
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Odd: Hey sam! There’s someone I want you to meet
Jack: I’m Odd’s friend Jack
Sam: I’m Sam, but I’m sure you already knew that.
Jeremie: all of us “OG” warriors have all of your numbers. This is Jeremie Belpois.
Yumi: Yumi
Sam to Rebecca
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sam: can you ask them to send selfies so I know who’s who...
Rebecca: ok, you get nervous about the weirdest things<3
Sam: you're one to talk
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aelita: I’m Aelita, but we have something important we need to talk about
Aelita: (typing)
Rebecca: can the OG warriors send selfies so we can match names with people
*Aelita stops typing and all of the OG warriors sent pics of themselves, Jeremie takes selfies like a boomer*
Sam, Odd, and Jack
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack: Odd told me your trans
Jack: I’m a transman too. I’m trans too I’ve been living as a man for years I’ve been on T for almost seven years. I got top surgery last year too much gatekeeping
Aelita:(typing)
Sam: no need to brag
Aelita: now that we all know introduced ourselves we have something very important to talk to you all about. Since we went to Lyoko again XANA maybe after us so you should check in with us before doing a return to the past.
Jack: What I’m trying to say is if you want I can be ur big brother and help you navigate the world while trans because I was once in your shoes
Natasha: then how will we always know when XANA attacks, the super scan program you left us doesn't always pick up everything. Sam and I worked on it a little but the code is so convoluted that we don’t know how to fix it
Natasha: have you ever heard of commenting your code?
Natasha: Sam I’m talking to you too. I see you typing on your phone.
Sam: IF you know what I go through I could use a big brother.
Sam: My parents practically kicked me out when they found out that I like girls
Sam: There’s no way can find out that I’m not cis.
Jeremie: Well, I wasn't expecting other people to really be working on it and I knew what I was coding so I felt no need. Let’s have everyone involved with coding meet me at the factory at ten tomorrow morning.
Jack: My parents kicked me out when I told them so I know the feeling
Sam: How did you survive?
Natasha: I can't wait I have so many questions!
Jack: I know that this sounds cheesy but it’s true, my friends
Jack: mainly Odd
Odd: mainly!?
Jack: ok, I moved in with Odd for a bit lol
Aelita: will Sam be coming as well?
Jack: I was also almost done which college and managed to land a job quickly
Jack: I haven’t talked to my family in years
Sam: Ok I’ll be your little brother
Natasha: he doesn't seem to be paying attention to this conversation but he’s definitely doing something on his phone idk what’s more important than this
Sam: I’m talking to someone else
Sam: yes I’ll be there
Diana: I’m saying this in the nicest way possible since when do you have other friends?
Sam: I’m just going to ignore that comment
Ruby: lol
Sam: Odd introduced me to his trans friend
Sam: So I’m talking to him
Damian: I’m glad that you have someone that you can talk
Yumi: so was that who you were texting all night
Rebecca: It’s great that he has someone to talk to about this especially since he refuses to use social media.
Jack: I gtg but before big bro needs to know if your binding in a dangerous way
Sam: I can't get a binder because I know I will wear it for too long
Sam: I also do a lot of surprise exercise
Sam: I stack sports bras and wear baggy shirts and hoodies
Sam: but dysphoria still drives me crazy
Jack: Look into transtape it’s a way to bind that you can safely wear all day even when you exercise
Sam: I don’t have any money
Jack: I’ll pay for it
Sam: thanks brother
Jack: I know how terrible dysphoria I can't imagine how bad it is when your not out and are constantly deadnamed and misgendered
Sam: I’m at boarding school I have to use the girls bathroom locker room and showers there are no non gendered options
Jack: I’m sorry Sam but I;m here if you ever need to talk
Odd: I’m so glad I introduced you to!
