A/N: Been a while, hasn't it? Well, this is a surprise gift to Son-Neko of deviantart who not only draws such fabulous Code Lyoko fan art, but she also drew a fantastic image that inspired this fic and drew art of my fic "Switch". Thanks, Son-Neko! I look forward to drooling over more of your art in the future!

Jeremy was beginning to regret materializing Franz Hopper.
Especially right now.
They got along well enough. He supposed. At least when they were in front of the super calculator. There the twelve year-old could be a colleague of sorts. He'd figured out on his own just about everything Hopper knew on how it worked. With their combined intelligence, they made quite a team in the fight against XANA.
In the rest of life, there were…issues.
Specifically, the pink-haired one happily hugging Jeremy's arm.
Now, under ordinary circumstances, Aelita snuggling against him with a delighted smile on her face was a good thing. At the moment, however, this was decidedly bad since her dad was currently sitting on the other end of the bench.
Glaring.
And giving off that creepy "If you so much as look at her the wrong way, I'll send you directly to the Digital Void" vibe.
The young genius had to admit that Hopper had a tendency to unnerve him at times, but the combined glare and implied threat scared him to death.
He flashed a toothy grin across the way, sure that it looked disturbing by how forced it was. His finger tapped uncomfortably at the arm rest of the bench.
The gray-haired man frowned even deeper. If it were possible, the mustache drooped even more.
The toothy smile collapsed into a toothy grimace. Jeremy turned his head away though his eyes remained focused on the laser-like stare being magnified by those thick lenses.
He was definitely having second thoughts about materializing the man.
