Hi! This is my first fan fiction, feel free to review and criticize. I will try to upload one chapter each week. Enjoy!
I don't own Inspector Gadget.
Penny's POV
Yet another boring mission. Nothing interesting really happened so far. It's always the same boring routine. You know - I come here, run into Talon, he blabs about his uncle's ridiculous plan (this time - something about flying a rocket around the earth so quickly, the time will rewind and he will be able to stop uncle Gadget's parents from ever meeting, what a knucklehead) and I have to figure out how to stop him, before he can carelessly drown the entire planet into oblivion - same old, same old.
I'm battling Talon on the top of the rocket when suddenly, everything starts shaking. I see Brain and Gadget quickly jump into the Gadget-mobile and fly away.
"It's going to explode!" Talon yells. "Gotta fly, Penny!"
He winks at me, engages his rocket boots and flies away, leaving me alone on a rocket ship that's about to explode. How nice of him … well, he's supposed to be evil, right? Ughh, whatever.
Anyway, this time, he isn't the only one with the ability to fly. Thanks to professor von Slickstein, I am now able to summon a flying platform with just one quick wave of my hand. It kinda works like a magical holographic floating skateboard - I jump on it and fly to, well, practically wherever I want.
I manage to fly to a safe distance from the exploding rocket before it blows up. I see Talon stop for a second to look back. He has a concerned look on his face, I can't tell why since he didn't seem to care much about that stupid rocket ship anyway. But the moment he sees me flying towards him, he continues his escape plan.
This is it. My chance to finally capture Talon Claw. He won't escape from me this time! I desperately try to speed up my floating skateboard, but it's no use. His rocket boots are just too powerful, it's going to take years 'til my stupid holo-skateboard achieves such speed. But since I only have a few minutes 'til Talon escapes into his evil layer, I guess that's not gonna happen. I could really use a miracle right now … what … what the …
Oh my God. This is actually happening right now. I can't believe it. The purple flames, coming out of Talon's rocket boots, suddenly disappear. I still don't know what exactly is going on right now. It all went down in a flash; he looked back at his boots, gasping, and I think that, for a millisecond, he looked at me before he started falling towards the ground at the speed of light.
I don't have much time to think about what to do. So I start dropping at full speed, trying to catch him. He keeps screaming for help, and I can't help myself but to laugh at how girly his screams are … But that's not the matter right now. If I'm going to save him, I have to think fast - since we're about to crash! While I'm trying to think of a good idea to save him, Talon spots me and starts screaming even louder.
"Penny! Penny, heeelp!"
The scared (and extremely cute) look on his face only makes it worse. From what I can tell there are only a few miles left separating us from the ground. Now I'm starting to panic. I can't just toss him a parachute - I don't even have one. There's literally no way that I'll ever figure out how to fix his god damn rocket boots in time. The only possible way is if I can get close enough to catch him myself. Or ... wait!
I quickly wave my hand and pray it'll work. Yes! it worked! I have successfully summoned another floating holo-skateboard, right underneath him - just in time! Well, his landing wasn't exactly what I'd call elegant, but that's not the point. It was probably at least slightly more comfortable to land on a floating holographic platform than possibly crashing your head on a giant, pointy rock or landing on a cactus.
For a few moments he just lies on the platform, his eyes still closed. He looks like a scared (and extremely cute) little baby. I blink my eyes almost every second to make sure I don't start staring at him. He's just so ...
He slowly opens his eyes and looks around. He notices me floating on a holo-skateboard above him and definitely not staring at him. I'm already prepared for another one of his one-liners. He opens his mouth to say something ... but he doesn't say a single word. He shuts his mouth and looks deep into my eyes, making it even harder for me to not stare at him. Aaaghh, I wish he'd stop being so cute! And than he blushes ... actually blushes!
We spent another thirty seconds just staring at each other's eyes and blushing into infinity.
