I'm so sorry it took me this long to update this story. A lot was going on my life at the time since I last update and I still have some things going on but with school out of the way, I can work on my stories more! Huzzah! Anyways, I'm sure you want to read the story instead of my Author's Note at the beginning. So enjoy!

To say that Dr. Gilmore enjoyed his 'children's' reactions would be an understatement. He actually chuckled when they learned of their Christmas present.
"Everyone deserves a trip to the city of Las Vegas once in their life. It is quite a fabulous city," Dr. Gilmore was stroking his beard, "I have quite fond memories of it."
"I heard Las Vegas is mostly strip joints, alcohol and wedding chapels," 002 said, a dirty smirk on his face.
007 rolled his eyes at 002's comment, disappointed at the aerial cyborg's lack of knowledge.
"You aren't looking at the true beauty of Las Vegas 002! During the day, the sun shines brightly with clear blue skies warming your body. It may appear dull but when the sun sets, the beautiful colors of orange, pink and even yellow splay across the mountains!" 007 grasped 003's hands, his body morphing into a shirtless man with short, black rugged hair. His button nose was almost buried into 003's hair as his dazzling ice blue eyes shone like pearls. The muscles on 007's body looked perfectly sculpted with a toned six-pack, slightly bulging triceps and biceps they flexed when he pulled 003 into his arms entirely. 003's cheeks instantly flamed, burning against 007's firm yet glistening chest.
"But at night, the young men search for a lovely lady such as the one in my arms to create a night they shall never forget in the city of lights! Every man has a chance of luck of winning what his heart desires in the wonderful Las Vegas! Every woman has the chance to find a man that will let her be wild even if it's only for one night for she has already allured him with her dazzling traits!"
007 reached for Nanu when 009 pulled her far away from him, his ruby eyes warning the British cyborg he would not be touching his woman.
007 felt something hit the back of his head so he turned around to see what was thrown at him. Something slimy fell from his black locks of his hair, dripping down his back.
"What the hell is on my back?" 007 then noticed a small baby spoon floating in the air, an orange glob centered perfectly on it.
"003! 001 is throwing food at me!"
"Who can blame him? After all you look like some man from a young girl's fantasy," 004 commented, a smile of approval on his face as he took the infant cyborg out of his high chair.
"I'll have you know that I morphed into a real person. Rosa sent me a photo of her friend that is part of the Las Vegas show Thunder from Down Under."
"Oh I've heard of that show!" 006 exclaimed, pulling off his shirt. "I hear from many of my female customers talking about them and they showed me one of their dance routines.
006 swung his shirt over his head and tossed it sexily towards Nanu, ignoring 009's glare. The Chinese cyborg started his pelvic thrusts, his fists swinging at his sides. 007 joined him, bellowing out Enrique Iglesias's song I Like It. 006 inched closer to Nanu while 007 went back towards 003.
"You're boyfriend is on vacation and he doesn't have to know!"
Nanu slapped her hand firmly against 006's head, keeping him at an arm's length away.
"Like hell you will touch me Chang," Nanu muttered angrily, her green eyes growing darker.
003 felt large arms encircle around her waist, lifting her off the floor as 007 was close to giving her a lap dance.
003 looked up, finding her teal eyes meeting the nearly black eyes of 005. She sent him a grateful smile when she felt a hand encase around her calf.
"Come on and give me some more," 007 whispered seductively, his eyebrows wiggling.
003's brow furrowed as she planted her foot directly into 007's face. "I have boundaries 007!"
"Mmph fmmp mummhph!" 003 removed her foot from its resting place, her red foot print now there.
"You didn't have to do that 003!"
005 set 003 down, placing a giant hand on her shoulder. "A proper English gentleman would have never done such to a young woman."
"He's right about that 007," 008 chuckled, his fingers stroking the beard on his chin. "An English gentleman knows better."
"But I am an actor; you guys have no appreciation for talent at all. Am I not allowed to show my perverted side for acting just this once?"
"003 can we please leave?" 001 pleaded, his cute copper eyes melting 003's heart.
003 smiled at the infant, walking over to 004 to take 001.
"003, I hope you don't mind but I would like to talk to you for a bit. It's been a while since it's been a long time since we had a nice talk," 004 said, his silver eyes staring straight into 003's teal ones.
"Albert, I don't want you to stay up if you're tired." 003 had noticed his eyes were a little bloodshot and saw him yawn a few times.
004 gave a short wave of reassurance. "I have gone longer nights without sleep. Now would you deny me the request I had made?"
003 smiled as 004 knew that she would not say no to him.
"Oh! Nanu, I prepped your room first. Professor Gilmore had specially designed walls added to prevent sounds from escaping," 003 said, winking at the blonde girl as she, 001 and 004 left the dining room.
"Thank you Professor Gilmore! I can get sleep now!" 007 exasperated, his arms going into the air.
Nanu's face turned bright red, glaring at 007. "You have no right to say that you old pervert."
"I do when all I can hear is knocking on the walls all night long, you little rabbits."
"007, I'm the fox and she's the rabbit," 009 said a small grin on his face before he grabbed his girlfriend and quickly got out of the room.
"Ew! I didn't need to hear your role-play fantasies you know!"
009 chuckled as he entered his and Nanu's room, setting said girl on her feet.
"Would you like to test out these walls right now Nanu?" 009 had an innocent smile on his face, wrapping his arms around Nanu's waist.
"We'll do your way of testing these walls later. I have a question for you right now," Nanu stared into 009's ruby eyes, her eyes telling 009 that she had a serious question.
"Do you think Françoise is lonely?"
"No. She has 001, 006, 007, Professor Gilmore and us so why would she be lonely?"
Nanu's head cocked to the side, her eyes slightly wide in surprise at her boyfriend's response yet her mouth was set in a firm line.
"Joe…Not that kind of lonely. I'm talking about the kind of lonely that only a certain kind of person can fulfill."
009's brow furrowed in confusion until Nanu pointed to the bed a few times. 009's lips made a small o, understanding what Nanu had meant by lonely.
"Nanu I thought you already tried setting her up on a few dates before," 009 reminded his girlfriend.
"I did no such thing. You were the one who told me that some of your friends from the racetrack that would like a date with Françoise. I just told her the pl-" Nanu did not finish her sentence when she saw the 'If you finish that sentence you'll see that I was right all along' look on 009's face. "The point is that she deserves someone to be with. Françoise will listen to me and Cathy's problems when we complain about our men and I feel horr-"
"You complain about me to 003?" 009 interrupted at his girlfriend's revelation.
"Yes Joe. Now don't interrupt," Nanu covered her boyfriend's mouth with her hand so he would not dare interrupt her again. "She's your best friend so it's only natural for me to talk to her about you. Anyways before you interrupted me, she deserves happiness."
Nanu paused herself for a few moments, making sure her boyfriend would not try to pry her hand off his mouth.
"Françoise has done a lot to make everyone feel accepted. She deserves to feel the same by someone."
009's eyes softened at his girlfriend's words. Nanu did have a point about getting 003 into the dating scene again. 003 accepted Nanu into their little odd family with open arms, happy to have another girl who she hoped would be her friend. After all, being the only female on the team drove her nuts a few times, especially during her special weeks.
Nanu removed her hand to which 009 grabbed, his thumb stroking the back of it.
"You know you did a lot for 003 already Nanu. She's already grateful for that."
"Joe, encouraging her to dress more modern isn't really doing much."
"Nanu, you helped her break out of the shell she was in. Isn't that enough?"
Nanu's mouth was open to retort but nothing came out. God did she hate when Joe did that to her.
"Maybe she could date one of the guys in the former team."
009's brow arched slightly in surprise of Nanu's words. "And which one of the guys would be best for her? 007?"
Nanu frowned at the humor in her boyfriend's voice. This was a serious matter and he here he was joking about it.
"How about Albert?" Nanu suggested, a dainty finger tapping against her chin.
009 stood there silently until he bent over, laughing.
"004 and 003 together? Nanu they have nothing in common!"
Nanu frowned at her boyfriend's words.
"They do Joseph Shimamura."
"Oh? And what do they have in common?"
Nanu was silent for a few moments, her mind trying to think of the quickest answer possible. "They both are from Europe."
'Smooth Nanu. The only thing you can think of at the top of your head is that.' Nanu criticized herself, before deciding she should add more to her first statement. "They came from Europe during the time after WWII."
009 smiled at his girlfriend and thought that her persistence was very attractive now.
"I meant interests love."
"They both like the arts," Nanu's voice raised slightly at her own words, making it sound like as if she was questioning herself.
009 pressed a kiss against his girlfriend's head. "Nanu, I know that you care for everyone and want to make them happy but this is something you should leave alone. I'll be right back as I need to make a phone call to my agent about us going to Las Vegas."
009 disappeared from Nanu's eyes, the sound of his accelerator being the only sign he had been in the room a few moments ago.
Nanu stuck her tongue out, making a quiet bleh sound. "You don't realize it yet Joe but I can make the impossible happen,' Nanu thought as a devilish grin appeared on her fact. "Just wait and see."
"Wait and see what?" Nanu looked up and saw a brown spider with 007's head attached to it, dangling on a thin piece of web from the ceiling.
Nanu, with her finger pointed at spider 007, didn't say a word as she grabbed a magazine and began to roll it up.
"GREAT BRITAIN! YOU NASTY SPIDER! I'M GOING TO GET A BIRD AND MAKE SURE IT EATS YOU AFTER I SWAT YOU WITH THIS MAGAZINE!"
004 sighed as he heard the crashes and booms coming from Nanu and 009's room. 003 sometimes left the her bedroom door open in case someone needed her assistance.
"Is it always like this when Nanu and 007 are together?" 004 asked, watching 003 take 001 to the adjacent bathroom.
"Unfortunately yes. 007 thinks his hobby to mess with Nanu as a source of amusement after working with 006 every day is funny," 003 explained while undressing 001. "I told 007 to leave her alone after she got revenge on him by convincing 006 to start doing take out. She somehow made thirty people- in different parts of the city order take out at the same time through the phone."
004's eyebrow rose at her statement. "She did that?"
"Yes though it had backfired on me in some way because 006 begged me to help deliver orders. He gave me all of the orders from men so I took Ivan with me."
"And how did that go?"
003 did not answer; her cheeks tinged with a rosy pink.
"They asked her if she needed a man to help raise me but within their minds, they had other ideas," 001 answered for the female cyborg.
004 glanced at 003 seeing if this was true. When she only shushed the infant cyborg, a way of anger rushed through him.
"And you didn't say anything?"
003 sighed, her slender fingers gently massaging the shampoo into 001's hair.
"Albert, how can I accuse someone for having lewd thoughts about me?"
"Surely they must have had the body language of the lewd thoughts."
"Oh they did." 003 smiled. "When they ordered for delivery the very next day, I insisted that 005 come with me. I didn't expect to be given a lot of tips though."
A small smile of satisfaction form on 004's lips. He was pleased that at least one of his cyborg 'brethren' was protecting 003, not that she needed it of course.
"I'm glad things are going good for you here but 00-Françoise, may I ask you a question?"
003 nodded, grabbing a cup to rinse out the shampoo in the infant's hair.
"Why stay here in Japan when France was your hom-"
"There's nothing there for me Albert," 003 cut in softly, reaching for a hooded towel to wrap 001 in. "My life in France disappeared when Black Ghost lied to my only family and destroyed everything."
004's arms folded across his chest. "Françoise, I found some information for you."
003 glanced over her shoulder, occupying her hands as she patted the water off 001's skin. "About what?"
"Your brother, Jean-Paul."
He didn't need super hearing to her sharp intake of a breath.
"He's still alive Françoise, I was going to save this for your birthday present but I can make the arrangements to depart from Las Vegas to France once our stay is over."
001 remained quiet as the thoughts of 003 hit him hard. Each thought had the same feelings: longing, loss and love. However, he didn't understand the last feeling he felt. Guilt.
"004, she's feeling guilty but I don't understand why," 001 sent the information to 004's mind directly.
004 didn't express the shock he felt after 001's revelation. "Françoise, what's wrong?"
"Albert, how can I face my brother nearing his 80s but I still look the same as the day we said goodbye?"
"You can say plastic surgery!" The voice of 007 shouted out, creating a frown on 003 and 004's faces.
Nanu burst through the bathroom door, a rolled up newspaper in her hand.
"I knew you would come in here you pervert! Wait until I squish you," Nanu glared menacingly at the ceiling, causing the three cyborgs to look up. There they saw a brown spider with the head of 007.
003's eyes grew wide, her hand on 001's covered head tried to cover more of the infant.
"How did you get into my bathroom?" 003 demanded in a higher pitched tone.
How many times did 007 do this and did he ever come in here while she was undressed crossed her mind.
"003, I assure you that this is the only time I've been in this bathroom of yours. I was running away from that-that scary woman over there," 007 pointed at Nanu with two of his legs. "She was going to kill me!"
Nanu rolled her eyes at 007's explanation. "You came into my room I share with Joe as a tiny creature so no one would be able to see you unless they looked up. I have every right to squish you."
"But 003 won't let you will you mademoiselle?"
003 smiled at 007, brightening the transforming cyborg's smile.
"Nanu maybe you can teach him how to behave because 006 must be too busy to keep him in line."
003 turned away and left the bathroom to dress 001. 004 watched her walk away before turning towards Nanu. She was smacking the newspaper in her left hand, glaring evilly at 007.
"Albert, if you don't mind, I need to kill this little spider that's on the ceiling. I hope that the rain won't bother you once I'm done."
A small smirk donned the arsenal cyborg's face, watching his 'brother' tremble in fear.
"Try not to make it flood Nanu. We won't be able to store a male and a female of the same species onto the Dolphin once you're done with 007."
"No promises Albert," Nanu said, pushing 004 out of the door and quickly covering every escape route.
007's eyes grew big as Nanu's eyes grew darker, revenge on the woman's mind.
"Nanu, Albert and I will be in his room until you're done with 007," 003 called out to Nanu.
"Alright Françoise but it may be a while!"
While 007 was thinking of a way to get out of this situation, Nanu listened for the shutting of the door.
"Great Britain, I need your help with something," Nanu said to 007, the revenge in her eyes completely gone.
"For someone who has never done acting, you are wonderful at pretending you're calm now."
Nanu puffed out her cheeks, swinging the newspaper in the air. "I am not pretending to be calm Great Britain," Nanu yelled, the flash of revenge in her eyes again. "I really do need your help."
007 pressed his belly button and changed back into the original shape of his body, landing on the edge of the sink.
"Now what kind of help do you need Nanu? I do know some great positions you could try out with Joe in the bedr-"
Nanu whapped 007 on the head with the newspaper. "My bedroom life with Joe is none of your business!"
"You sure do hit hard Nanu," 007 muttered, rubbing his baldhead. "What kind of help do you need then?"
"The help to get two people together," Nanu smiled as she said this.
"And who would be these two people?" 007 asked because he was confused as to where this was going. 'I should have gone into her room sooner!'
"Oh, just two teammates of yours."
"But Nanu, none of us are gay even though sometimes I think there is something going on between Dr. Gilmore and Dr. Koz-"
"No you ninny! Albert and Françoise or as you like to call them by their codenames 004 and 003."
007's eyes grew wide before saying a long 'Oh'.
"Wait, are you sure you're not thinking about Dr. Gilmore and -"
"NO!"
So what do you think? I apologize once again for being so late with this update. The junior year of high school is the hardest and I learned that you should always learn from your upperclassmen unless they are idiots with no common sense. Anyways, I need to work on other Cyborg 009 stories so adios for now!
