Talon's P.O.V

Watching my older brother Thomas push HQ trainee Penny into my Uncle Claw's ship, my heart sunk. I, once again, had lost the chance to show her that I was bad and strong. But no, once again my glory hog brother had shown up and, well, hogged all the glory! Note to self: I need to be more careful around my Uncle when talking about Penny. Tom's already figured it out (only because he read my diary the jerk) but my Uncle Claw hasn't noticed yet. Ever since I had to infiltrate HQ and met Penny, I have been crazily, madly, stupidly in love with her. It's like whenever I see her smooth, graceful movements or her bright smile or her golden hair or her slim, agile body, my mind just seems to stop. If Uncle Claw or Tom even mentions Inspector Gadget, Penny's uncle, I feel like I must immediately add Penny to the group and when I think about Penny, I start to go weak at the knees and feel faint. So, to have the real thing standing right next to me meant I had to keep under a lot, of control. "Ah Penny." Uncle Claw growled triumphantly. "The very agent I need to complete my brilliant plan." As he started talking again, Tom let out a loud yell. I turned to see that Penny had nipped his hand, hard. "And what "brilliant plan" would it be this time Claw?" She was so angry, I could see the fire blazing in her eyes. Tom quickly clamped his hand over her mouth again as my uncle started talking again. "The brilliant plan, my dear prisoner is to use you as bait to lure Inspector Gadget here, so we can rewire him and use all HQ data on his memory to finally shut down HQ!" I glanced over at Penny, but instead of seeing the normal flame, she seemed sad, maybe even scared… "And you, Penny. You will serve at my nephew's every beck and call and do anything they want. And if they can't find anything useful for you to do, I have a few ideas of my own…" He trailed off with an evil laugh. Now I saw it- the unfamiliar look in the girl's eye was fear. "Tom, Talon, take her away lock her in Talon's room. Right now, it's the best place." Uncle Claw snarled. Her gaze hardened as we led her to my room. I really hope that this goes well, or Penny's in danger.
