"Iris…c'mon wake up."

Slowly regaining conciseness, iris opened her eyes to find that her friends & her brother surrounding her in one of the recovery rooms inside the Maverick Hunter HQ.

"How did I get here?"

"I brought you her after what happened this afternoon." Replied Zero

"Don't be so proud Zero this all happen because of you!" snapped Colonel

"Brother this is not Zero's."

"Who the hell do you think you are!" Interrupted Zero

"My sister got hurt because of you."

"Actually she's fine." Interrupted the lifesaver

"What?" asked everyone?

"We did tests after iris was brought in & found nothing wrong."

"That changes nothing if you & my sister weren't friends I'd."

"Don't let that stop you!"

Both readied to fight in front of everyone but were stopped by signas timely arrival.

"That's enough!." "Look you heard the report Iris is fine I understand how you feel but fighting is not helping us or your sister Colonel."

"Thank you sir." Thanked iris

"Now I received word from repliforce Colonel they need you back."

"Fine I'm watching you ZERO!" he said leaving

"Now X, Axl & Douglas I want you to investigate the crime scene."

Following orders the three left to fulfill their task, as fast as they could.

"As for you two, I want you both to return to you rooms to rest." "Especially you Zero, Iris may be fine but you took a beating I want you both to rest." He said leaving.

With everyone else one zero finally cooled off speaking calmly to iris he apologized for his actions which she accepted. Taking her back to her room a sudden realization struck her hard.

"My new clothes I left them to think I thought things couldn't get worse."

"Don't worry I'll go & get them."

"But what about signas?"

"I'll be back before he noticed." Said zero racing off

Still worried iris decided to rest & trust zero to do what he promised, stepping into her room iris stripped off her two piece sub armor. Walking nakedly to her draw to retrieve her sleep wear but stopped in her tracks in front of her full body mirror. Feeling a weird urge to admire her body, striking different poses to show off her tits & ass this sudden need to flaunt her body like a peacock felt weird but natural to like this urge has been there all along.

"I never noticed before but I have a wonderful body," she said placing her palms over her nipples & making a kissy face at her mirror

"Too bad you won't let Zero see how wonderful our body is." Replied her reflection

Iris jumped back upon her refection talking back causing her stumble back falling on to her bed with her reflection doing the same.

"Easy you're going to hurt ourselves."

"Who are you!"

"I'm you Iris, well your true self."

"You're not me I know who I am."

"Do you? Because it looks to me that little miss wall flower was just strutting your stuff like a dirty girl a second ago. She teased

"That…that was a onetime thing besides how can you be me your eyes are pink mine are blue." She replied embarrassed.

"That's nothing."

"Okay then tell me where did you come from?"

"I have always been inside you but something happened today that finally freed me from deep inside you.

Iris back tracked the event all the right down to the point where she saved zero from that beam.

"That beam must have done something to me."

"Don't you mean us?" she corrected

"Stop that I'm still not convinced that you're me, if you are then tell me something that only I know."

"Fine we have a tattoo of Zero's emblem on our right ass cheek that we conceal with makeup."

Blushing iris turned her back to the mirror to check wiping away the makeup on her ass revealing the tattoo, to her shock the reflection did the same revealing the same tattoo.

"Okay then how did I get it?"

"A prank from martei."

Iris was still a little unconvinced but at the same time she had to admit the other iris knew a lot about her.

"Okay fine why are you here?"

"To help save our relationship with zero duh." Said the other iris

"What? Our relationship…My Friendship with the commander is fine."

"Really? Is that why you fawn all over him?"

"I."

"Or when get really jealous every time another girl speaks to him ."

"Well I."

"How about all those erotic dreams you have of him!"

"That's none of your business!"

"Yes it is because I'm you." "You say you just want to be friends but is that really what you want to watch him be scooped away by someone else while you just stay friend."

Iris was deeply shocked everything this other iris said was true ever since she first met Zero she felt attracted to him. When she became his navigator her attraction grew to a crush to a full-blown secret love.

"Fine your right I do want to be more than friends but how am I going to make him seem me as more than just that?"

"follow my instructions & he'll be ours forever."
