The following day, the tiny BLU Engineer was still laying on the plush pillow that the giantess got for him to lay down on, without unexpectedly moving any parts of his body as he lay peacefully.
As for the giantess, she didn't budge a single inch from her spot either as she meditated with her eyes gently closed, not even uttering any audible noises either.
After what had seemed to be undoubtedly countless hours, the tiny BLU Engineer finally woke up, slightly groggily from sleeping for a long time, instantly noticing he was inside an unfamiliar room than the hallway that he fondly remembers for the last time before passing out.
Sitting up slightly, he gently rose from the plush pillow that he was carefully placed against, completely taking off the gray lens goggles that he traditionally wears, revealing that he naturally has steel blue eye color, as he had gently placed his right gloved hand on his bald head, looking slightly groggily still.
Confused, he glanced over to the right, to see where he is, but only noticed that he was inside a massive room alright since he is in that condition that he was in after that unexpected explosion, but somewhere where he doesn't know where the hell he is inside.
Standing up slowly, he got up to his feet, while he had his hard helmet in his right hand as he stood up, wobbling a bit to the side as he stood up, but luckily regained his proper balance before accidentally falling off the cleared table, before naturally feeling like he wasn't the only one in the unfamiliar room.
He turned over to the massive bed, and to his genuine feeling, there was the giantess, with her eyes gently closed and meditating as she merely sat there, with her gentle hands on her crisscrossed legs, at the kneecaps with her flexible wrists at the top.
(Luckily he didn't notice the second pair of arms.)
'Is she asleep?' He curiously thought to himself, as he stared back at her in much confusion.
'Well, this might be mah right time to escape…'
After gently putting on his hard helmet, he glanced around for a moment, to look around for anything that he can intentionally create to get down from the cleared table since there is definitely a long way down for him to climb down instead.
But while he was looking around, he didn't even notice the giantess was awake from her meditation, instantly noticing he was awake too.
"Oh, you're awake?" a familiar female's gentle voice suddenly asked him, startling him as he almost jumped 3 inches off the cleared table when he heard the female's voice asked him.
Immediately whipping around, he instantly noticed that she was awake now, looking curious as he was just standing there, looking like he was instantly caught in the direct action of stealing stealthily something from her pleasant room.
Startled, he was going to back up from her, when he suddenly tripped over the visible edge of the cleared table without immediately noticing and fell instantly, before grabbing the ledge with his right gloved hand, gripping on to it tightly as he was dangling over the edge, looking worriedly down at the ground which was miles up away from his boots.
"Oh, crap!" he instantly heard the giantess exclaimed, before uncrossing her legs from the position that she was in and getting up slightly from the decent bed, as he was frantically holding the visible edge with his right gloved hand.
Immediately before he recognized it, his fingers started slipping as he instantly felt his genuine fear grew instantly, worried about getting instantly dropped to the ground if his fingers released, when he suddenly was incaved with softness and it gently wrapped around his body, as his hand was gripping on the ledge, poking through an opening, before instantly releasing it in startlement when he instantly felt the softness encountered with his body.
Panicking slightly, he was going to squirm out of the narrow place that he was inside, with his knees up to his chest, when he instantly felt the entire gentle place suddenly moved, instantly making him jolt again from the sudden movement, before released, landing on another soft object, except cushioning underneath his considerable weight.
"You have to be careful next time." the female's familiar voice softly spoke, as he glanced up at her, looking confused, and slightly startled when he almost killed himself when startled by her suddenly awake.
"You could've fallen down to the ground and probably break an ankle or more if I haven't caught ya just in time before releasing."
Apparently, she instantly surrounded her entire left hand around him as his right arm was gently poking through the top of her gentle hand, as he gently released from the sudden wrap of her hand, and she gently placed him on top of the soft pillow of her decent bed, where she can talk gently to him without typically having to carefully hold him in her gentle hand around him.
"Are you okay, though?" she asked, sounding worried, as she reached over to him with her right hand, startling him slightly as he jolted from the sudden view of her hand.
"I hope I haven't injured you during your rescue."
He stopped himself from moving away from her enormous hand when she said anxiously she was genuinely worried if she had intentionally injured him while she was rescuing him from falling instantly off her cleared table.
"You're worried about me bein' hurt?" he curiously asked, subtly shifting a bit in his pillow like seat that he was gently placed on top of.
She gently nodded her head, as she shifted slightly in her seat, before wincing slightly as she instantly felt a cramp from her back.
She leaned down slightly, startling the small BLU Engineer as he jolted, startled that she suddenly moved down to him, as her lustrous hair and wired artfully concealed her face as she winced and whispered gently, "Ow, ow, ow…"
Genuinely worried, he moved up slightly and asked anxiously, "A-Are ya alright ma'am?"
She glanced up slightly at him, with a small smile on her face, as she got up more, wincing softly slightly as she got up.
"It's okay," she replied gently, as she had her right hand up. "Just a little cramp."
Sighing, he sighed gently, in relief that the sudden wince was a cramp instead of something that he didn't notice earlier when he was kidnapped from the BLU team, but yet he doesn't feel genuine to believe in her with her trust towards him.
"Err, ma'am?" he reasonably questioned, instantly getting her considerable attention, feeling confused about her confident feelings towards him as he was just in her room without any weapons.
"Why do ya trust me as Ah don't trust ya with your plans?"
She genuinely thought to herself for a memorable moment, as she had her right hand on her left arm, naturally thinking to herself as the BLU Engineer gazes up at her, looking confused about why.
Why did she want to carefully keep him safe from the BLU team since they are mighty giants compared to him and why did she naturally want to keep him safe from harm when he is in possible harm with the RED team?
"Well," she instantly began, gently pulling him away from his confused thoughts, as he listened respectfully to her modern thoughts about why.
"Of course I wanted to keep you safe, but, actually, I was concerned about your height."
She paused again as she instantly noticed he was smaller than the rest of the BLU team and corrected herself; "I typically meant at this size, not at the normal size that you were at."
Understanding that she wasn't making fun of his modest size when he was normal, but oddly understanding that he positively hated being made fun of his size, so, he felt genuinely puzzled about why she intentionally altered her gentle words.
"And not only that, I was genuinely worried about how the BLU team might act around you, like for instance, if I carry you in somewhere where you don't like to be inside, like a shoe, it might kill you or make you bruised," she adequately explained, as he listened respectfully, curious about what she was explaining about.
"So, I "kidnapped" you," she quoted liberally with her two fingers.
"From your base to my base, the RED base, where we can ask Dell, the RED Engineer for help about your issue and maybe, just maybe, we can get you back into your size before the Administrator noticed that somethin's not up with the BLU Engineer."
"The RED Engineer?" he asked anxiously, sounding worried. "Doesn't the RED Engineer hate the BLU team?"
"If I explain to him about why I have you in the base," she replied gently, glancing over at the door that leads out of her room and into the hallway, where she meets the rest of the team members.
"And… I don't know if I could trust him with you… I have self-confidence over my trusts towards other people. …Not after what happened many years ago."
Confused, he was going to ask about what awful thing happened instantly years ago, before stopping himself, instantly realizing the question would take it too far for him to ask more about.
"Anyways," she instantly began, instantly getting the tiny BLU Engineer's considerable attention from thinking to himself.
"We haven't properly introduced ourselves since I was quiet the whole time to sneak you into the RED base, but my name is Stephanie, Stephanie Nova Rose Allen."
He was silent when she properly introduced herself, but, feeling like he could sincerely believe in her a little, he replied gently to her proper introduction, "Mah name is Francis, Francis Conagher."
"Seems like "Conagher" is really popular 'round here," Stephanie replied gently, as she carefully shifted her considerable weight equally on her legs, as he instantly gripped the sides of the plump pillow that he was gently placed on top of, worried to accidentally fall off the pillow when not getting a grip on the pillow.
"Ah supposed," Francis replied gently, gently releasing his fierce grip on the plump pillow as she instantly noticed that he looked a bit worried.
Curiously, she was about to reach over to him with both hands when she paused, instantly realizing why he naturally went pale a couple of times when she grabbed him.
"Just a curious question," she spoke gently, as he glanced up at her with both eyes. "Are you afraid of heights?"
He blinked in considerable confusion when she politely asked the specific question about him, and he replied gently, "Well, this is mah first time bein' this small, so, Ah'm not that scared of heights, only a little."
"Alright, because I wasn't sure when I wanted to pick ya up and I noticed earlier you were pale-faced when I first picked you up," she explained, as he listened to her as he was getting up slightly from laying back on the pillow.
His conscious thoughts stopped instantly when she said gently she was going to carefully pick him up from the pillow, but stopped because of his concerned condition about heights.
At first, he felt anxious about being in the air again, but relaxed slightly and said, "You may pick me up, but carefully please than last time!"
Gently nodded her head, she carefully reached over to him with both hands, as he naturally felt his stomach twist in worry again as he fondly remembered those mighty hands that snatched him a couple of times.
Instead of grabbing his entire body like last time when they'd first met each other, Stephanie's hands instead cupped around him after scooping him up from the plump pillow that he was gently placed on top of, as a cupped motion to keep him from falling out of her hands if in a flat hand motion.
At first, he genuinely wanted to yell out to her to stop instantly, when he instead stopped himself as he felt the entire moving platform started to move up, feeling his heart beat faster in well-founded fear as he was moved up, up to her chest as he was anxiously staring eye to eye with her pair of eyes, instantly noticing that her left eye was metallic.
Of course, he hasn't noticed the metal eye before when he first met her, because of how scared he was when he was first shrunken down to 6 inches after his default machine that exploded without any warning.
Curious about his puzzled, but curious look on his face instead of a terrified look on his face, she asked wonderingly, "What's wrong?"
"Your left eye," he replied thoughtfully, as he carefully stood up from sitting down in her hands.
To keep himself from falling forward, he had his right hand on her metal thumb of her right hand, as he thoughtfully stared eye to eye with her, carefully observing her left eye and pondered how it functioned efficiently with her average body than the rest of her body and right arm.
"What's wrong about my left eye?" Stephanie asked, sounding confused, but, slightly worried since people have been looking judgemental to her.
"Ah didn't even notice it was metal," he replied gently, correctly answering her worried question.
Perplexed, she gently shifted him down slightly as she got into her standard position, as the grip of her thumb tightened a bit, as he felt the hand moved down carefully, worried about being dropped, although the both of them are on a bed, he still doesn't feel right about being dropped again after what happened before.
She carefully moved Francis to her right metal hand as she cautiously moved her left hand up to her metal eye in considerable confusion and gently poked the side, not even wincing from the genuine feeling of the human finger, as she gently stroked it, before sighing gently.
"Well…" she instantly began, before pausing and drifting off, as if she fondly recalled something because of the shaking feeling that he is naturally feeling underneath his feet.
"I just remembered too many things that are too many to remember back then."
When she said those words, at first, he genuinely wanted to ask another question about why she said that about her past that he asked again which he felt foolish about asking gently about her eye, so, he unanimously decided to typically prevent anything that typically includes about her bionic parts.
"Just forget that Ah asked about that." he carefully avoided. "But, the real question is that how am Ah gunna survive bein' this small? I don't think Ah can do mah machines if Ah was back in the team."
"Well, that's one of the things that I was goin' to do for you is to explain some things about being smaller than us," she replied gently to his direct question. "And I hope you can remember any of this that I have to explain everythin' 'bout it."
He was silent for a moment when she gently said that, so, he approvingly nodded his head, ready for the lessons about being at 6 inches.
Throughout about half of the day, Stephanie carefully explained a few things about being little, and the good things about it along with the bad things.
She also added little hints about being smaller than the rest of the team members that he could do if he was fit, (which she humbly apologized about her rude remark, and he gratefully accepted it), she carefully explained everything to him as he listened carefully to her, properly understanding every little detail that he needs to understand.
After she was done, he politely asked if he could stay in her room for a while until his height returns after he refixes the machine that he created once to instantly regain his considerable height.
She happily accepted and said she is okay with having a roommate with her and to be really careful with him around so that she wouldn't do any stupid things with him.
Stephanie also loaned him the plush pillow that she had carefully placed for him when he was knocked out and one of the hand stitched blanket that she made for him while she was talking with him.
He also asked her if she has rules about the room, knowing precisely about the BLU Spy whenever he was in his room, which she replied gently she does not have any rules in her room, and he felt slightly relieved he doesn't have to follow every rule that she has to carefully explain to him.
Right now, he has to come up with an economic blueprint for the machine that he created and perhaps another one for an escape plan if necessary if feeling like he is being keenly watched, to properly fix his considerable height and keep an eye out for her suddenly attacking him.
If he survives to be at 6 inches tall around giants.
