Chapter 2 The Return of Bombshell
My name is Stephanie Michelle Plum and that is what I put the two most important men in my life through four years ago. I had left. I moved to South America where my Dad had army buddies willing to train me. I was trained particularly by a man named Wayne Tudeski, who informed me they were the best in the business. And after an intense four years I was finally ready to go back to Trenton. I wasn't quite ready to face the Burg yet but I could definitely face Trenton.
The night before I left I had spent with Batman commonly known as Ranger. Spending an entire night of long over due sex. He was a six-foot something, Cuban sex god whose normal attire was a monochromatic black that could out sexy Rambo. He had straight hair to his shoulders and always carried at least two guns and at my last count five knives. You do not want to get on his bad side. Apart from being incredibly sexy and dangerous Ranger was also a successful business man with offices across the country dealing in security and bond enforcement, I'm sure they also did other kinds of business but I had yet to find out. And I was still in love with him.
Five weeks after I had left I noticed I was late.
Yup that's what Batman will do to you.
I had already completed four weeks of training when I found out I was pregnant. I wasn't quite sure if I was ready for a baby but the guys said they'd help out as much they could. They gave me advice and psychological training as the beginning of there helping. They promised me that having the baby wouldn't complicate any training, and I took their word. I eventually decided that having the baby would help me. I needed mostly to learn maturity and this would be exactly what I needed. The week after learning I was pregnant I sent ranger a post – it in the mail. I'm pregnant, Love Babe xx. I wasn't sure if he got it or if I wanted him to get it but I did what I had to do.
After my daughter was born I endured the next three years of rigorous training. I suffered through early mornings, intense workouts and rabbit food. In the end, I was impressed by myself. One of the guys training me called Ben said my training was about as harsh if I had joined the army.
Now after my training I sported a six pack, could run a three minute mile no sweat, could pick locks, hot wire a car, could shoot almost any target with my gun and could hold my own in hand to hand combat. I was proud of everything I had accomplished.
I was now on the airplane back to Trenton with ten minutes until we landed. I was sitting in an aisle seat with Diana my daughter next to me, and I was currently having a panic attack.
I have nowhere to stay! I have no car! I have no phone! Where are we going to go? Why didn't I think of these sooner? I tried to calm myself down. Okay when you get off the plane find the pay phone and ring Dad. He has a cab and can pick you up. That thought instantly calmed me down.
Diana, who had been staring at me while I hyperventilated, was now gazing out the window with a grin on her face. Diana was three years old and wearing a pale pink dress. She had skin a shade lighter than her Fathers mocha latte with a few freckles across her nose with crystal blue eyes like mine. Her hair was like mine too. Shoulder length brown and curly. Her face lit up even more when we heard the pilot saying we had just landed.
While we were in South America I had learned Spanish. Diana had learned both English and some Spanish. But from time to time would mix the two together and mid sentence start speaking the other language. Diana was quietly babbling on about how she couldn't wait make new friends. Back in South America she was quite a socialite at her day care centre. She was also quite a bright young girl.
We had now gotten off the plane and retrieved our little luggage. I was carrying Diana at my hip and a backpack at my back walking towards the payphones when I saw someone I knew.
Tank. Ranger's closest friend. I had stopped walking and had thought of the best way to get his attention as he was now facing away from me. I took Diana off my hip and crouched down. I looked through my bag and found a carry box of tampons careful not to lose Tank from my sight. I put my bag back on and picked Diana up again. I walked up to about a metre from Tank's back and aimed the tampon box at his head. Then I threw it.
He turned around and I saw he was with Lester and Bobby brown. They all had a small luggage case with them so I assumed they had come back from a mission from who knows where. I was hopeful Ranger wasn't with them because I had a lot of time on the plane to plan exactly how I was gong to let him find out. The plan I had devised was in my opinion going to be hilarious if I could get it to work correctly.
"What the fuck? - ", I heard Tank say.
"- Oh my god. Bombshell?",Lester questioned.
"Wow", was all Bobby could manage right now.
"YOU THREW TAMPONS AT ME?", came Tank's booming voice.
I smiled innocently and fluttered my eyelashes while Diana giggled. All three men who were currently staring fixatedly at me heard the giggling moved their eyes to the left and finally saw Diana. If possible their eyes dilated further. They each let out a simultaneous gasp followed by a series of "fuck", "ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod" and "holy shit".
"Did you miss me?", I asked. "Hola", Diana said staring just as fixatedly at them as they were her.
Lester snapped out of it first and grinned. "You know it Bombshell. So who is this?", Lester asked Diana.
"My name is Diana", she said brightly.
Bobby let out a loud laugh at this. I figured he recognised the name. "You actually named her after Wonder Women?". Yup he knew. Although it kind of scared me he knew that much about comics to be a mercenary. He continued to laugh when Diana nodded her head. I had told her where her name came from thousands of times and she loved it.
Changing the subject I asked "So what you guys doing at the airport?".
"We just got back", Tank said. I knew if I asked where from he would give me a look meant to say 'if I told you I would have to kill you'.
"Okay, well I'm starving, tired, have no car, no phone and no-where to stay", I stated on the verge of hysterics. Diana noticed I was on the verge of another panic attack and hugged me tight.
"Ranger's out of town til next week you can probably use his apartment -", said Tank
"- Again", added Lester. I just glared at him for that comment.
"Well let's get going then. I think it's past your bed time don't you?", I asked Diana at my hip who yawned in answer. "Oh my god. I haven't been to the Tasty Pastry in four years promise me we can stop there on the way to RangeMan. I am begging you I am in extreme doughnut withdrawal and you do not want to have to deal with that". Diana seemed to perk up at the idea of a doughnut.
All men took a step away from me except Lester who probably heard what happens to me when I don't get sugar. All of my sugar hormones turn into sex hormones, which isn't to good for any man around me. Lester who was a joker gave a wolf smile and took a step towards me. I walked past and gave him a friendly slap on the shoulder.
"Well what are we waiting for let's go", I said walking towards the exit.

It was Monday morning and I was lying awake in Ranger's bed on his seventh floor apartment with Diana curled up next to me still asleep. The alarm clock read eight thirty in the morning. Last night I had decided that today I was going to go visit everyone I left behind when I went away. Only my Dad knew of my exact location and if Ranger got my post – it only he had known I had been pregnant. Until last night when on the drive here when I was bombarded with questions by Tank, Lester and Bobby. There such girls when it comes to gossip.
"Wake up Honey", I said lightly shaking Diana.
"Hi Mummy", came her sleepy reply.
"Do you want to go meet my friends today", I asked her. She nodded her head franticly opening her eyes. Why did she get to be so energetic this early in the morning?
We got up out of bed and did our morning ritual of showers, clothes, make – up, breakfast and were all ready to go by ten when we finished our breakfast.
Today I was dressed in low rider hipster jeans and a singlet with my hair in a loose ponytail. I had put on only lip gloss this morning for make – up, the sun had done wonders to my skin and I was confident I didn't need much today. Diana had cosen to wear her favourite dress today. It was orange and had a heart cut out of the back exposing her skin. Her hair was loose and dangling around her face with a few clips to pin it back from her eyes.
"Let's go see everybody downstairs first before we leave", I said smiling. Something about looking at her always made me smile. Probably because she looked so much like her Father and reminded me of him every time I looked at her.
She looked happy and grabbed my wrist pulling me towards the elevator. We walked past the silver tray on the sideboard and I saw all of Ranger's key's sitting there. Surely he wouldn't mind if I were to borrow his Porsche while he was away. I quickly grabbed the keys and my bag and got into the elevator Diana still tugging me along.
"After we stop by do you want to see your Grandma and Grandad?", I said inside the lift giving a finger wave to the security camera.
"Si", Diana was overly excited and rambling on in Spanish asking me what they looked like and if they would like her.
The elevator doors opened and we walked hand in hand over to the control panel. Junior and Bobby were on duty and saw us coming. I looked around the offices and was meet with familiar faces of Woody, Hal and Cal. Those who hadn't seen me last night starred openly at the two of us. I picked Diana up and sat her at the edge of the control panel.
"Looking good Bombshell", came Junior's surprised voice. A couple of cat call's followed from other areas of the offices.
I smiled sheepishly. Diana turned around and faced Junior, "Mi nombre es Diana".
"¿Hola Diana habla usted inglés?", Hal said coming closer. From past experiences I only knew Hal spoke Spanish.
"Yup", Diana smiled brightly.
My eyes flittered over the office as the guys and Diana continued their conversation in English. I saw Tank and he made his way over to see what we were talking about. I turned my focus back to the control panel and came a familiar hamster in an aquarium.
"Rex!", I opened his cage and held. All the guys smiled. Diana's eyes widened, she had never seen a hamster so I showed her how to hold him and rested Rex in her arms.
"Ranger brings Rex down here when he knows he'll be out of town for a while. Besides he reminds us of you and we usually remember to feed him", came Tanks loud voice behind me. I smiled at this. That's a comforting thought that they hadn't forgotten about me.
"So guys tell me all the gossip. I know you are all as bad as Connie and Lula when I comes to gossip. Besides I was going to see them later and thought I might get a head start", I said. I put Rex back in his cage and grabbed a swivel chair for me to sit in. I picked up Diana and pulled her into my lap while she was giggling. It took half an hour for the guys to fully inform me of all the Burg's latest gossip. My Grandma Mazur had gone FTA four times. Three of which, had been handled by RangeMan. All of which somebody had been hurt. No one had blown up any cars. Joyce had slept with someone else's husband and got aids. But my favourite piece of information was that Joe Morelli had married Terry Garzolli. This information was awarded a "wow" from me.
I was beginning to get fidgety and stood up placing Diana back down on the chair. I stretched and fixed my hair which was beginning to come loose. I knew doing both of these would flash the guys my abs and my belly button ring but oh well. Diana giggled when she saw my pink belly button ring. She always found it amusing for some reason.
"Bombshell has a six - pack!" and "When did you get your belly button pierced" were the main comments made along with bulging eyes and dropped jaws and a couple more whistles.
"Yes, I have muscles. And Lester I got it pierced the same time I got my nine other piercing's". Back in South America after Diana was born I had suffered from depression so by way of training the guys insisted every time I gave up on my self I had to get something pierced. In total I had gotten ten piercing's in the space of one month.
I poked my tongue out and they now knew where eight out of ten were and none of them were going to see the other two. Ever.
I heard a cell phone go off followed by a simultaneous ruffling of clothes as everyone but Diana and me checked their cell phones. It turned out to be Tank's who's had rang.
"Yo", he said. I heard the muffled reply through the phone. A massive grin spread across his face and an evil glint showed in his eye's. "I'm gonna put you on speaker phone their's someone I think you should talk to. Besides I really wanna hear this conversation". I instantly realised who must be on the other line when Tank sent a smirk in my direction.
"I'm going to kill yo- ", was all I got to say before he pushed the button turning the phone onto speakerphone.
"Who is it Tank?", came Rangers voice over the phone. Everybody in the whole office had stopped to listen. The only noise was the deafening hum of Tank's mobile.
Since no one was talking I let out a long deep sigh, "You better start running now Tank because as soon as I finish talking to Ranger I am going to kick your ass". I saw an expression cross over Tank's face that resembled fear. Diana giggled.
"Babe?", came Rangers voice only as loud as a whisper.
