Confidence
Gemma closed her diary and glanced at the trash barrel Flynn had thrown all of his projects in. Gem asked if she was going to bed, and she quickly told him to go ahead. Vaguely aware that she had promised to follow him soon when she knew she probably wouldn't. She crossed the room and picked up the invention that resembled a wheel that was sitting on top. It looked intriguing. Should she work on something that belonged to Flynn? He did throw it away, and on top of that he also read her diary. It seemed like an even trade to her. She raced to the nearest computer and hooked up the tiny wheel. She was going to figure out how this thing was supposed to work and how to MAKE it work even if it took all night. As she glanced over the plans and the configurations she became more and more impressed with Flynn. She thought it was complex before, but now…she was certain it was genius! And Flynn made this without all the training that she, her brother, and Dr. K had.
She definitely did not find him so simple anymore.
She was so wrapped up in uncovering the secrets of the wheel that she didn't hear Ziggy, Dillon, Scott, and Flynn coming up from behind her. It wasn't until Flynn spoke directly to her that she was even aware anyone else was nearby.
"You going to bed, Gemma? Hey! That's my stuff you're messing with!"
She heard his footsteps rush forward and she turned toward him, "What do you call this thing?"
"it's a self deploying combat weapon. It never really made it to the naming it stage on account of it not being 'sanctioned', but-"
"But nothing!" Gemma exclaimed in excitement. "it's brilliant!"
She felt a shift in the gaze Flynn had focused on her as if he were trying to figure something out, "Alright, what's your angle missy?"
"No angle," She said simply. Why would she have an angle? Was no one ever just curious about Flynn's creations? She turned back to the screen to continue investigating the "self deploying attack vehicle". She already noticed a few things that might make it better, faster, and stronger. Her eyes widened eagerly as she had an idea, "How about…we give your little weapon some upgrades? Just you and me?"
Flynn was staring at her suspiciously again. Did he really think she was up to something? This was just her way of apologizing for calling him simple. She wanted to show him that he was right. He wasn't simple, and that he should have totally confidence in his talents. After studying this thing…she certainly had confidence in him.
"You and me?" He asked. She nodded. "Not you and Gem?"
She shook her head, and couldn't help but wonder why he asked. Didn't she say "Just you and me"? She didn't say "Just you and me and Gem." She was certain of that. He looked around and then turned back to her.
"You're not gonna, um, finish my sentences are you?" He asked.
She furrowed her brow at him and grinned, "No." Her brain moved past her initial worries about his tone when he asked that questioned. He seemed afraid of the idea of her finishing his sentences, but that wasn't her concern right now. She had a name for this invention of Flynn's.
"How do you feel about the name…Road Attack Zord?"
Gemma felt relieved as Flynn's confused expression melted into an excited grin. Was he finally ready to work on this thing now? She didn't know if she could restrain herself for much longer. She was dying to get to work.
