"She's a Giant!" Skylar exclaims and looks at Eve's towering form. Aside from the fact that she was probably near 30 feet tall she seemed like a normal human. She had long, straight blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin. She also had a very curvaceous body and her breasts were a bit large. Her cleavage could be seen through the one piece black tank top suit she wore with red on the sides.
"How did she get to be so big!?" Bree asks. "Wasn't she born a normal human?"
"She was." Fiona explains. "But then when they altered her bionics to make her stronger, her body had to get bigger to compensate for the extra muscle mass and that caused her to become a giant."
"How did you even find clothes for her?" Skylar asks, noting Eve's one piece sleeveless and legless suit, so her arms and legs were visible.
"I made this suit for her using some technology I found to create a digital fabric that could cover the parts of her body she'd rather not have people see." Fiona explains.
"My little sister is so smart!" Eve says and bounces happily, causing the three girls to lose their footing as the ground shakes.
"Eve! What did I tell you about bouncing?!" Fiona scolds.
"It shakes the ground and gets people in neighboring towns worried...Sorry." Eve says and looks down.
"How have you been able to hide her?" Bree asks. "There aren't many places that a giant can hide without being noticed."
"That's why we've mostly stayed here in Montana, and other places where there are mountainous regions." Fiona explains. "There's more forests with tall trees for Eve to hide in, and there are so many that not a lot of people go into so we don't have to worry about being spotted."
"And I can stand up straight and not have to bend over all the time!" Eve says and stretches her arms out.
"I also look for areas that have a history of seismic activity." Fiona says. "So this way when Eve walks, no one gets too suspicious and they just think they're having a small Earthquake."
"That's smart." Bree says.
"Well I am the smartest person alive." Fiona says with a smirk and flips her raven hair. Bree laughs.
"Try telling that to my brother." She says and Fiona laughs.
"Looks like he'll have to make room in that big ego of his for another brainiac." Skylar jokes and lightly hits Fiona's arm. She furrows her brow at Skylar.
"What are you talking about?" Fiona asks.
"Well you and Eve are going to come back to Centium City with us right? You're bionic, and we need people to help us fight these villains that are threatening the lives of all the superheroes in the world. You're coming back to help us." Skylar says.
"We never said we were going to help you-" Fiona says but gets cut off by her sister.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! We'll definitely come and help!" Eve says and Skylar's face lights up.
"Sweet! We'll totally crush Roman, Riker and Reese now!" Skylar says to Bree. "They might be at the same skill level as us but no matter how much they transform, Eve could still just crush them with her fist and it'll all be over!"
"Yeah but-" Fiona tries to say.
"Oh I could also burn their entire bodies or rip them to pieces if you'd like." Eve interrupts.
"I really like how this girl thinks." Skylar says to Bree and points to Eve.
"Hey!" Fiona raises her voice. "I never said that we would help you."
"Why not?" Skylar asks.
"Yeah come on Fifi why not?" Eve whines to her sister.
"Because you're 30 freaking feet tall!" Fiona exclaims.
"I am 29 and a half and you know it!" Eve argues.
"There's no way we could sneak you into a city filled with thousands of people! And if their enemies are there then they'll see you coming and be able to prepare an attack against you. We wouldn't be able to surprise them with a giant as an opponent. And where would we even stay?"
"We have a penthouse." Bree says.
"That can fit a 30 ft girl inside?" Fiona asks. Bree bites her lip and looks down.
"Thought so." She says and turns back to her sister.
"But Fiona it sounds like they need help!" Eve says. "Shouldn't we do something? I thought you said you wanted us to start using our powers for good."
"I know and I do but we can't just go running into a fight and making enemies without knowing who exactly we're up against!" Fiona says. "And how do I know that you two aren't the bad guys trying to recruit me and my sister to join your evil forces?"
"Because we're not." Skylar says. Fiona crosses her arms, and even Eve starts to look at them with concern on her features.
"You can probably look us up online." Bree says. "At least me anyway. You'll see all the things I've done in the name of good, all of the lives I've helped save. Believe me, I would never want to hurt anyone. But our enemies are extremely dangerous. And we could use all the help we could get." Fiona looks at the ground and shuffles her feet a bit. A breeze blew by, brushing her dark hair from her fair face. The same skin tone as her sister.
"I'll think about it." She says finally. "It's getting late. You should go hunting Eve."
"Hunting?" Skylar chimes in. "Hunting what exactly?"
"Just some elk and other animals that come through." Eve explains. "The problem with being big is that you have a big appetite." She says.
"Can I come?!" She asks eagerly.
"Sure if you want." Eve says and holds down her hand for Skylar to climb on. She gets on and Eve puts her on her shoulder.
"Sweet! I get to go kill stuff!" Skylar says and she and Eve leave to go find food.
"That girl is really violent." Fiona notices.
"Well she is from a planet where all the women are pretty violent so I suppose that explains why." Bree says.
"She's an alien?" Fiona asks.
"Yeah. I believe her planet is called Caldera." Bree says.
"Do you two have a place to stay tonight?" Fiona asks.
"Not really." Bree says.
"Then how would you like to camp with us?" Fiona offers.
"I'd love to." Bree smiles. "And it seems like Skylar would too." The two girls laugh.
That night the girls had a fire set up in the valley. Fiona and Bree were cooking some hot dogs and Skylar was working on cooking some meat she caught with Eve. "It looks like you two had a successful hunt." Bree says.
"It was so much fun! I got to snap an Elk's neck!" Skylar exclaims. "And Eve killed one by hitting it! She's super strong!"
"Aw it was nothing really!" She says and takes a swift bite out of some meat she was cooking in her hand. "They're just so fragile." She says with her mouth full.
"Hey don't talk with your mouth full!" Fiona reminds her sister. "Your food particles are bigger than ours remember! We're getting rained on by dead elk over here!" She says and the girls wipe their hands.
"Sorry..." Eve says and hangs her head low. "I guess sometimes when I'm with you guys I forget that I'm so different from you. Even though I'm towering over all of you, you include me and make me feel small. Make me feel normal. No one aside from Fiona has ever made me feel like that." Bree and Skylar look up and smile at Eve. "And that's how I know I can trust you." Fiona smiles. She wished she could be as trusting as her sister. But sadly, life had proven that there were a lot of people out there that you can't trust. She took her hot dog off of the fire and let it cool.
"How did you two escape Krane?" Bree asks. Fiona stares at the fire. Fiona reached over and gently stroked her sister's side. Fiona smiled up at her, thankful for the comfort.
"Well, after he upgraded our bionics more, I overheard him talking to one of his assistants about us thanks to my bionic hearing, which was an ability he actually didn't know I had. Ever since he upgraded our chips, we were discovering more and more new things. But since I had began to distrust him, I decided to keep them a secret. I overheard him say how greatly pleased he was with my progress. He said that if he kept experimenting, one day I'd be an unstoppable force, a weapon of evil that was both super intelligent and super destructive. Eve on the other hand, had gotten too big. She could never do covert operations because of her size. And even if she could overwhelm ground soldiers because of it, she still wouldn't stand a chance against an all out assault by multiple missiles and things like that. So he wanted to kill Eve and install a triton app on me. It didn't take super intelligence to know he was bad news. As soon as he started upgrading our bionics I knew he was up to no good. But after hearing this, he had just confirmed my suspicions that I had to get Eve and I out of here. I told the nurses that had taken care of both of us since birth what his plans were and they devised a plan to get us out. While Krane and his back then robot soldiers were away they let us out of our cells. Back then when we were still little, Eve could still fit in the hallways although she nearly hit the ceiling. We had to fight some ordinary guards. But they were no match for my intellect and Eve's strength. But then once we got outside we found that Krane had returned. And he brought his soldiers with him. He thought there was no way that two kids could ever take him down or his soldiers. He ordered them to start attacking Eve. They started hurting her, and then that's when something in me snapped. A bunch of red wisps came off of me and started messing up the wiring in the robots. But it didn't stop there, it traveled back to the lab and triggered a lot of the equipment in there to blow up. Next thing I knew, the entire lab behind me was all flames. My eyes were glowing red. I approached Krane and he was begging for mercy. I was disfiguring him with my mind. I warned him to never come near me or my sister again. And we left him, broken and near lifeless. And we've been living on the run ever since."
"Damn." Skylar says. "That sounds rough."
"The sad thing was, the story I told you is one of the happiest memories I have of that place." Fiona says and eats her hot dog. Eve played with her thumbs, remembering her own hardships.
"It's getting late. We should all go to bed." Bree suggests.
"Agreed." Fiona says and Eve placed her palm over the fire to smother it. For her it was practically like punching a candle. She lays down on her side and curls up. Fiona takes her place in the secluded space created by her curling her legs in towards her body. She instructs Bree and Skylar to do the same. It was the safest and warmest way to spend the night out here.
"Is it just me or does she sound a little bit like Chase?" Skylar whispers to Bree.
"Well they both have super smarts. So I guess constantly informing people about things and telling them what to do comes with that." Bree says.
"Bionic hearing." Fiona says. Reminding them she could hear them. The two girls roll their eyes and go to sleep.
The next morning the three girls walked out of the valley to go find breakfast in town. This time Bree offered to pay so Fiona wouldn't have to steal like she used to. "So how do you two not glitch without a capsule?" Bree asks.
"Oh we do. It's just that we've learned to control them since we haven't had a capsule to do that. But every now and then they do slip..." Fiona says and trails off and looks straight ahead. Suddenly she hears a strange noise. "What's that?" She asks. Bree and Skylar's eyes widened. Suddenly two suspicious looking boys appeared out of dark clouds before them.
"Riker and Roman." Skylar says and gets into a fight stance. Bree does the same. After looking between the two girls, Fiona decides to mimic their actions.
"How did you find us?" Bree asks.
"We noticed you girls left the city yesterday and decided to try to find out where you might be going. And that search led us here. To you." Riker says.
"Well look what we have here. A new girl has joined your ranks." Roman says and smirks, surveying Fiona.
"Let's see what she can do." Riker says and prepares to fight but then the boys both freeze when they feel the Earth shaking beneath them. Their eyes nearly pop out of their heads when they see Eve.
"What are you rats doing here threatening my sister?!" Eve says sternly and Roman's mouth opens and closes, trying to come up with something to say to the giant. "If you're not going to speak up I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave." Eve says and quickly swipes the boys up in her hand. She aimed south and threw them as hard as she could then watched them disappear in the distance. "I think I got them far away enough! They won't be bothering you for awhile now." Bree and Skylar smiled at each other. Even though they lost the super hero list, they had just found new hope in Eve and Fiona.
