Earth Quest 15 Come Clean

You smirked at Fionna. She was asking who you were, but that could mean anything. You looked at her and asked rather pointedly.

"What exactly are you waiting to hear in response?"

She stared back. "At first, I wanted to know what got into you."

"Of course." You shrugged. That was easy enough. Asuka as well relaxed when she clarified but the two of you grew a bit more tense when Fionna began to speak again, adding.

"But, this goes way beyond that. It's like you're a different person. So... I still wanna get to the same point, but I'm gonna need you to explain to me pretty well why you're like this. Because you are literally just a different person, basically. What's going on, are you crazy? Like, seriously crazy?" She asked in a worried tone, which was the only thing that stopped you from responding sarcastically. You scratched your head and thought of a good enough answer that could satisfy her.

"I am a different person. Finn was possessed and now I'm taking over until he can come back." You admitted.

`Djir that is WAY too much information! She's not going to be able to handle that.` Fin complained.

`If she can't handle it she shouldn't have asked.`

Fionna stared at you long and hard. After a few moments she stood up and hugged you tightly and rubbed your back. Since she was a bit taller your face was being pulled into her shoulder.

"H-hey! What're you hugging me for? I just said I'm NOT your brother."

She nodded slowly. "Right. I should've paid better attention. Mom's usually busy and Jacob isn't a dad, no matter how cool he acts."

Asuka and Su squinted at one another. Su mouthed 'cool' at her with a visual question mark of her head being cocked to one side. Asuka shrugged in response and made a cutting motion across her neck, suggesting that the moment should not be interrupted by them. Su nodded in agreement, content to lean forward and watch like someone who needed a bowl of popcorn.

Fionna continued. "I guess that break was worse than any of us thought. I'm sorry for brushing you off, Finn. I was too concerned with my own diagnosis that it biassed me against you. I thought that because I was fine and getting better that you were, too. But you're obviously not fine." She released you from the hug and leaned back.

"Do you actually feel like someone else or is it just you being edgy?"

"I actually feel that way." You uttered indignantly.

"I actually feel like a different person. How many times you gotta ask the same thing expecting a different answer?"

She nodded slowly. "Seems accurate. Normally you couldn't talk to me this way. Normal Finn definitely couldn't talk to girls, either. Let alone bring them home or be naked around them without getting flustered." She turned around.

"What about you two? Was there a change?" You looked at them and shook your head as she turned her back.

"Well-" Asuka was a terrible liar. She was flushed as she tried to express the falsity that you had not changed at all. Su noticed Fionna picking up on it immediately and sighed deeply. She raised her hand.

"Not going to be able to hide it. You're not good enough at that." She said in your direction before regarding Fionna seriously. She looked up and cleared her throat.

"I've had testimony collected about his behaviour before and after. It's not just a shift, it is a marked difference and it seems to be consistent. In asking the school nurse she said-"

"H-hey why'd she tell you!? She's got that oath thing!" You complained loudly before Fionna shushed you.

Su corrected herself. "A... non-specific source said that the change was consistent with an alternate personality. That is what I've been able to gather through my own channels."

Fionna was listening to Su closely, nodding along. "You're the girlfriend?"

"That's right." Su smiled, winking at Asuka in particular. The red-head looked assaulted.

"What colour underwear does my brother wear?" Fionna asked suddenly.

"What the hell kind of question is-" You and Asuka said at the same time, trading a look at the strangeness of the scenario. You and her were the only ones that were really in on the truth.

"There is a gradient package of trunks that your mother purchases on repeat each 6 months. Black to Dark Blue. Now... He does own a few pairs of womens black lingerie but those were purchased by someone else other than him or your mother."

"H-hold on-" You stammered.

"That's all correct. Impressive. But what is his favourite band?" Fionna looked down her nose at Su intensely. In response, Su chuckled and shook her head lightly.

"Trick question. Finn will refuse to state an exact preference. He likes 'all music' and has not shown any new preference. He will also not admit to being a fan of any of the bands he has up on his wall as posters."

Fionna whistled to show she was impressed. "Not bad. Grades are something I don't even have to ask."

"Pfft. Straight A, until recently... Give me a harder one."

"Thought so." Fionna crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot as she took a few seconds to think.

"I know: Who is Finn's favourite woman? Not counting our mom."

"Me." Su claimed.

At the exact same time Fionna answered. "Obviously me... But you answered correct on all the other questions which leads me to believe that you are obsessed with my Brother. Hm."

Su closed her eyes and shrugged before opening them to stare up at Fionna competitively.

"The fact that you know that I am correct on ALL of the questions means that you are obsessed with him in equal parts, no?"

"More obsessed than-" Fionna tried to say before Su interjected while standing up and facing off with Fionna.

"I don't think so. I never undertake any effort half-heartedly which means that I am currently Finn's biggest fan." Su claimed.

Su lifted her brows as she cocked her head to one side and asked in a bitchy tone.

"Currently? When are you planning to drop him like he does to his 6 month old underw-"

Fiona's eye twitched. She got close enough that they were both breast to breast and practically nose to nose.

"I miss-spoke. I will always be his biggest fan, so to speak."

Su lifted a finger to her chin and asked with a wide grin. "Oh... Well, I wonder how much good that will do you when we are husband and wife and you are still just his sister." She taunted.

"Blood's thicker than water." Fionna snapped back.

"Water's thicker than blood when water does things with him that a sister can't." Su offered suggestively. Fionna gulped, blushing deeply.

"W-who says I can't?"

"Hoh. Maybe I was wrong about you."

"Maybe..." Fionna stared back.

"What the fuck is going on?" You uttered from the background.

"Uhm... G-guys." Asuka raised her hand.

"What do you know about my brother?" Fionna asked her, looking down at the flushed girl that was sitting very strangely and squirming a bit where she sat. Without looking up Asuka answered.

"I-I dunno much, but there's something going on downstairs that we might want to look into."

"What? Where?" Fionna questioned.

"The kitchen. That guy and Su's Guardian are-"

Fionna gritted her teeth. "What the fuck? Now way! How do you know something's going on down there? Did you set up cameras in our house?" She sounded offended at first, then leaned back and nodded acknowledging.

"Nice."

"Nothing that weird I promise!" Asuka shouted, standing up.

"I'm sure if we go down quietly we will see." She looked at you with a determined nod. You nodded back, giving her a thumbs up.

You all made your way down the stairs quietly, avoiding the bad steps upon Fionna's direction. When you reached the bottom you all turned the corner and peaked into the kitchen to see Maria on her back on the table getting blasted in her cunt by Jacob, who was making subtly patting noises as his lap slammed into her rear. He was panting and holding her hips. You did not have to point out the obvious. Su whispered.

"She looks completely out of it? Also, this is completely unlike her. She's a very loud lover."

"Do you just know everything about everyone?" You whispered at her accusingly.

"Only the ones I care about." Su winked.

Fionna was seething. "Cheater..." She was about to step out, but you grabbed her.

"What? We need to confront this prick." She whispered to you.

"Gather evidence, then." You advised.

"But also... This is the tip of the iceberg. You didn't listen to me before, but you might now. Why's that Guardian so out of it and acting outside how she usually acts while getting railed?" You inquired in a leading fashion. Recognition washed over her face, but then she quickly added.

"It doesn't matter. He's just a scumbag. We'll show mom." She pulled out her phone. You let her, but warned her.

"See if that video's on your phone tomorrow, or if you even remember it."

"What are you talking about?" She squinted. You rolled your eyes as she kept questioning it. You realised she was never going to just take the hint and listen to you. Even if she did, she could never put it together since she had no idea how deep it went. It was almost as deep as how Maria was getting fucked while you all watched. Her tits continued to bounce up and down on her chest until he grabbed them and groped them while you all argued. You opened your mouth to speak, but Su unexpectedly came through.

"Found something in his SUV that might be related to this." She claimed. You all looked at her as she held up a little drive.

You all went back upstairs and crowded around your computer. As you fumbled with how to get it in and use it, Fionna finally just impatiently took your place at the seat and you, Su and Asuka looked over her shoulder at the screen. Fionna looked back as it loaded and smirked at Su.

"Do you know what type of porn my brother has sa-"

Su rolled her eyes. "He doesn't save porn on his computer. Nobody does. He has an easily invaded cloud storage file where he names and itemises every link. His most viewed file is-"

"Please fucking stop." You begged. You were not Finn, but you were beginning to feel second hand embarrassment as a result of sharing his soul.

"Fiiine." Fionna sighed, opening the drive.

"Let's see what we have here. Where'd you find it in his ride?"

"When I was in the middle seat I felt something beneath the cushioning at the back. When I dug my nails into the seam it opened up and I found a pouch with this in it, and some money." Su explained.

"Woah. That's some drug-dealer shit..." Fionna commented.

"Real sketchy..." Asuka agreed.

As it opened you were all treated to a secondary security failsafe that kept the drive from being read without the password. Fionna groaned.

"We're just stuck. Unless anyone has any ideas."

"Also, we probably need to get this back to where we found it before we leave." Su advised.

"Good call. But the encryption also scrambled the data unless it's unlocked. We can't just copy it for later."

"Is it a normal password?" Asuka looked at it closely.

"Looks like it should just be normal letters and numbers."

"With 7 digits? Got a better chance of winning the lottery." Fionna threw her hands up in the air and threw her head back in frustration.

"Got any resources we can call upon, rich girl?"

Su shook her head. "Not this quickly."

`Fin, anything? Anything in Finn's memories for this?`

`I'd have to have help from Finn... I can only pull something if I know what I'm looking for, otherwise we'd need him to produce it.`

`Shit.` You grumbled internally. Suddenly you heard an intonation of surprise from Fin inside your head.

`He- he said something!`

`Okay! Great! What'd he say?` You asked hurriedly.

`Jacob apparently gave the wrong number for his birthday one time when he was first coming home with Finn's mother.` He listed off the 6 numbers. You repeated them out loud to Fionna.

"What? Is that a birthday? No way... besides, it's 7, not six."

"This was a number he gave as his birthday at one point. It's different from the one he decided on later with us. Why don't you just try it? Try... J and those numbers."

Fiona shook her head. "I entered it and it's not that."

Asuka asked hesitantly. "Well... Is it worth a try since we have 6 out of 7 why not try every letter in front of the numbers until we get something."

Fionna shrugged and began to try. After a lot she added. "This is actually still a lot by the way. It could be in front or in back, and we're not even considering if it's capitalised." While she was saying that she got to S and the check mark turned green. She stared at it dumbfounded.

"It worked? Jacobs real name starts with an S and he has a different birthday? Who would-"

"Foreign agent." Su pointed out.

"Those are status reports in Cyriilic. And they're dated using the Orthodox Calendar."

"I could've figured that out eventually..." Fionna claimed, opening a few of the reports.

"You can read Russian?"

"Yeah? You can't?" Su stuck out her tongue. Fionna gritted her teeth. The girl continued to read, her eyes widening as she took in the information. Once she had it she said it back to you all in english.

"He's talking about your mother. The first ones have him using her as an easy source of information and access. But... Later things start to get strange."

"Strange how?" You asked.

"Well, at some point the reports start to get vague. He is talking about an artefact of some kind and is describing tests using said artefact on... The family of the woman he had targeted. As of the last report, results are shown as 'promising.'" She looked at you and Fionna.

"So... What the hell does that mean?"

"He stole something from our dad that has some effect that..." You tiptoed around the truth.

"That kind of looks and behaves like magic."

"Fuck that." Fionna stared at you sharply. You were wondering if she was going to rebuke you, then she added.

"Our ancestry was some type of occult figure. That's what our family is known for on our mom's side. You're too young to remember, but our dad also practised some occult stuff when you and I were very little."

"Oh... Okay. Yeah, it could be magic, then." You shrugged.

"Could be..." Fionna furrowed her brow.

"Do you both think we're crazy?"

You shrugged at Asuka. She responded passively. "I think there might be something to this."

Su chimed in. "It's strange to me, but I'll follow whatever the evidence shows. I just know that Maria was acting like she was hypnotised." She stepped back.

"The question we need to ask right now is: What are we planning to do about it?"

Fionna pushed back from the computer and pulled the drive free. "Way I see it we can either take this to the authorities and let them handle it. This shit is damning on it's own since Jacob is basically evidenced to be a spy. But... it doesn't say much about the artefact and-"

"It'd be out of our hands at that point." You clarified. Fionna pointed to you and nodded.

"Exactly. There's my smart bro~" She winked.

"It doesn't tell us anything, it just gets Jacob out of the way."

"So long as we can guarantee he doesn't have ways to make this drive disappear from whoever we go to. What connections does he have in Suez?" Su asked seriously.

"That's not impossible... If we work together on this can we do any better? Also... Are we willing to work together on this without going to the authorities? It would mean all of us swearing a pact to keep each-other's secrets until this is over. Full cooperation. Nothing less." Fionna stated, giving a hard stare to the two girls before resting her gaze on you.

"I'm in regardless, Bro. What do you say?"
