The New Agent (Penny)
"Penny, there's someone I'd like you to meet: the newest Juinor agent!" Chief Quimby said to me one day and lead me to the door of HQ. He opened it, and there she was.
She had light brown skin and curly black hair and wore an outfit in the HQ colors: A blue skirt, white leggings and a red shirt. She wore a pendant with HQ's logo on it. She looked cool.
But did I trust her?
The last time I trusted a new "agent", It was Talon.Talon!I couldn't take that chance."Aeryn" would need a pretty convincing backstory...and combat skills.
I eyed her suspiciously. "Where are you from? Why are you here?"
Aeryn smiled. "I'm from the Northeastern Paris division. My parents recently passed in an accident and were close friends with Gadget.
"Apparently they said in their will that if they should die before I come of age, I was to come to Metro City to live with him."
I heard a small accent in her voice. If she spoke quietly, you couldn't tell.
Wow. That story was convincing...but she would have to prove to me she was good. She went on her first American mission with me.
Apparently, Talon and Claw were hatching a plan to inject shrinking toxins into sandwiches to shrink people so Claw could rule the world. Clichè, lame, Talon.
"So basically," Aeryn said as we went to the abandoned factory where Talon supposedly resided. "Claw is planning to take over the world via cheese sandwich."
Well put, Aeryn. Well put.
"What would he do, anyway?"Aeryn asked.
"Huh?"
"With the world, I mean. If you could control the world, what would you do with it? Wouldn't you eventually get bored of having no one to talk to, no friends or enemies?"
I pondered that.
Man, that girl was deep.
She also had a codex.
We snuck around a corner and I saw...Talon making sandwiches?! I whipped out my codex. This would be my new screensav-click!
Talon whipped around. I came out from behind the corner.
"Sneakier and sneakier I see."
I rolled my eyes.
"You're adorable, Pen, you really are, but come on! You've gotta get some stealth training!"
Enter Aeryn.
Talon glanced at her. He turned to me. "Wow! Penny's so pathetic she needs a sidekick!"
Suddenly Aeryn was in his face. "Say that again?"
Talon smirked. "Sidekick."
"Oh, you're about to get a side kick!"
Talon blocked it.
Aeryn nodded at me. I nodded back. I ran to the table Talon was working at to get the meat with the shrinking toxins in it. He saw me. Aeryn saw me. She used a codex platform to trip Talon and ran to block him. Then I saw that the meat wasn't even on
/the table. It was above me. I used codex platforms to get to the roof which was very high up. I looked down. Neverlook down. I lost my balance and swung my arms, but still fell. Talon rushed under me.
"Penny!"
He caught me in his arms.
I smirked.
"Gee, Talon, I didn't know you cared!"
He rolled his eyes and put me down. "Hey, your friend is pretty cute...what's her name?"
"Aeryn. And she doesn't like you the way I...the way I think others do."
"Don't be so sure, Pen!" He said as he smirked and saluted and flew away.
Authors Note: Yasss! I'm doing a crossover between this and...well, another show. Aeryn is based in part on *coughcoughMEcoughcough* someone I know, and yes, the characters are a bit OOC.
Ok maybe not Talon. I'm more Talon than *coughcoughPENNYcoughcough* other...characters though. Ok byyyyyyye (pronounced bye-yeeeeee!)
