Author's Note
New story! This story is based off of the elements of Finding Love, by Dragons Darkness, so if you enjoy this story, go check her's out! Also, be sure to leave a review telling me which champion I should match Lux up with first.
Heimerdinger, the revered inventor, was working on his best invention yet. He would be known everywhere for this one. Ecstatic, he ran out his lab at the institute, which doubled as room, to find a test subject for his project.
He only got two steps out his room before realizing something... he had no clue who would willingly test his glorious invention. It required a female subject and he has had bad experience in the past with the fairer sex. Apparently, women did not take to kindly to being asked to try a breast enlargement serum, despite his honest intentions.
After that incident, he has been branded a pervert by most of the female residents, except for Ahri, who was delighted to try his serum. But he would never ask her to test his new invention directly, she scared him. He shivered at the thought of what her dreams were like.
What was the inventor to do? He needed a subject. "Hmm," he furrowed his furry brows in deep thought. As he stood in front of his lab thinking, he saw Ezreal walk by. Perfect, he thought, I can use Ezreal as an assistant. Although the inventor knew Ezreal was just as bad as him when it came to women, he figured that he could use Ezreal as bait; Using Ezreal, he could see how each woman that they asked would react, without him suffering from it. Heimerdinger personally preferred to keep both his face and his genitals intact.
He scampered over to the explorer who was calmly whistling as he strolled along. He caught up and called out to the blonde.
"Ezreal!" He paused a moment to catch his breath, "I require your assistance!"
"My assistance? With what professor Dong- er, Ding- erm, professor Heimerdinger," Ezreal replied, stumbling over his words in an attempt to not offend the temperamental professor by using his infamous nicknames. He was lucky the professor did not notice his slip ups. The last time he called the professor Donger, or Dinger, he was subjugated and was forced to take a gender swap serum. He still had problems convincing people that he was a guy.
"I need a woman!" Ezreal had to catch himself from laughing. Heimerdinger apparently did not catch the double meaning behind his statement.
"Um, professor. I can't really help you with that. Have you tried talking to one? Or maybe you can build an artificial one?"
"What? Oh..." The professor realized the problem with his sentence. "Not like that, and besides, the robot didn't work. She hated me for some reason. Anyways, I need a female test subject and I need your help finding one."
"Oh no you don't. I remember the breast enlargement event. Kat, Sej, and Fiora kicked your ass ten ways to Sunday. You ended up in the hospital for week, haha. What made it worse was the fact that the Institute's best healers are all women, and they refused to treat you to the best of their ability, cause they were insulted too. I'm pretty sure they didn't give you any pain relievers either, did they? Hahaha," Ezreal laughed at the professor, who only frowned in response.
"I'm sorry professor, but I like to keep my balls, and the rest of my body."
"Preposterous! I would never have the audacity to willingly subject you to excruciating pain that would cause the loss or degrading of your genitals-"
"You're using big words and rambling again. You were definitely trying to use me as bait, weren't you."
"Ah-yes. Yes I was." The blond was smarter that the professor thought.
"Well, while I won't let you use me as bait, I do know someone who could help you. And it is someone who knows the female species well, as she is one of them. She will just need some convincing. Heavy convincing"
"Splendid. Let's get to it, shall we? Who is this wonderful being anyways."
"Caitlyn."
"What! She would never help us. And I'm pretty sure if we insult her, she could lock us up"
"As I said, she would need convincing. And she would never lock us up. The Institute wouldn't allow her anyways. All we have to do is phrase your request to sound like there a crime is happening and bam, we got her. By the way, what do you actually need?"
"Oh, I need a test subject for my future relationship viewing machine, or as I call it, the FRVM. And I need someone to get the DNA of subjects to operate it."
"Erm k. We can get Caitlyn to get the DNA, but what does your machine do."
"I was hoping you would ask! It takes the DNA of a sample and the DNA of the testing subject then materializes the thoughts and personalities of the two subjects into data. Then I take the data and process it into a virtual reality that the subject futuristic experiences, allowing them to witness a possible relationship with the sample subjects. I then use the machine to view this vision to analyze the testing subjects reaction."
"...Can you repeat that for me in a way that Gnar could understand it?"
The professor sighed. He forgot that not everyone was an intellectual like him. "Simply put, the machine lets the testing subject have something akin to a dream, where they are in a relationship with another person. Only it is not a dream, but actually is a possible future."
"Really, thats pretty cool. So it shows you the possible relationships between the subject and other people." Ezreal was really interested, and actually wanted to help.
"Basically. However, it only takes female DNA for some reason. So both subjects must be female."
"So we need lesbians."
"Yes, at least the testing subject must be homosexual."
"Hmm, maybe I can get Lux to do it."
"...Miss Luxanna Crownguard is homosexual? I never would have guessed, what with her being in a relationship with you a while ago."
"Yeah…that was only because she thought I was a girl. She dumped me after that stupid serum you made me take wore off, and she realized I was a guy the whole time."
"Well, that must have been an unpleasant experience for you. At any rate, do you truly believe you can get Luxanna to be the testing subject, and get Caitlyn to get the hair samples?"
"Sure. It shouldn't be that hard."
"Splendid! Bring them to my lab once you convince them. I will set up the machine in the mean time."
"CAITLYN! I NEED YOUR HELP!" Ezreal shouted once he saw the sheriff, who was calmly sitting at a table in the Institute's lunch hall. Immediately, she sprung up, giving her full attention towards him.
"What, what is it?! Is someone in trouble?"
"No, but there has been a crime. Someone broke into Institute's records, and messed with the spawning system. They deleted the records of the female champions, and the Institute needs their DNA samples to respawn them."
"Ok, what do you need me to do." Caitlyn questioned why the Institute sent Ezreal to find her, but did not voice it.
"I need a sample of each female champion. Bring them to Heimerdinger's lab, so that he can input them in the Institute's system."
"Alright, I'm on the case."
"Great." Once the sheriff left, Ezreal grinned to himself. He could be quite devious when he wanted to be. 1 down, 1 to go, he thought.
"Hey, Lux," Ezreal called out, as he caught the Demacian mage on her return to her dorm. She had just finished a hard fought game, and was looking forward to relaxing in her room.
"Oh hey Ez. What do you want?"
"I was wondering if you could help me and Heim with a project," He said truthfully. He saw no need to trick Lux, like he did Caitlyn, and figured she would simply agree. If not, well he did have a backup plan, one that Lux would not like very much.
"What kind of project."
"Oh, you will see. It's pretty awesome to be honest." Ezreal did not want to trick her, but he did know that she would need some manipulating to actually come. And Ezreal knew the best way to get Lux to want to do something, was to make her curious about it.
"You're not gonna tell me, so that you can get me to do something aren't you." Dammit, he forgot how smart she was.
"Maaaybe. Trust me though, you will enjoy it.
"Fine, you piqued my curiosity enough. I will be there. Let me shower first."
"Great!" He left her to return back to Heim's lab.
"I got them. Lux will be here after her shower, and Caitlyn is gathering the samples now," Ezreal reported to Heim, who was currently fiddling with his machine some more.
"Brilliant! Now we can see my spectacular invention in work!"
"Well, we have to wait a little, then we can see it work."
And so, they waited for the girls to arrive, while planning their course of action.
