"Him?" was her curious reply. Dr. Gero then turned himself and Raven towards the trees. "Raven I would like you to meet your new guardian and protector!" he announced as a man in armor came out of the trees. He came over, took Raven's hand, and kissed the top of it. "I'm Cell, your guardian." Raven couldn't help but blush, he was so cute. "Charmed." was all she could get out.
(Cell's P.O.V.)
I'm supposed to protect this girl, but I can't help but focus on how cute she is. Uh oh, I think my armor is trying to come off. "Um, Cell are you ok? You look nervous." Oh, why did she ask me that. Best think of an answer quick. "Yea, I'm fine, just when I heard I was going to be protecting the daughter of Dr. Gero I wasn't expecting someone so pretty." That was close dodged a bullet on that one.
(Raven's P.O.V.)
Oh my gosh. He is supposed to be protecting me? I know I should be focused on my work, but I can't help but focus on how cute he is. He looks nervous better check to see if he's alright. "Um Cell are you ok? You look nervous." Why did I ask that? Stupid, stupid, stupid. "Yeah, I'm fine, just when I heard I was going to be protecting the daughter of Dr. Gero I wasn't expecting someone so pretty." wait he thought I wasn't going to be pretty, I guess that's ok.
(Nobody's P.O.V.)
"Come, it's time we get back home. I have lunch waiting." "Alright, coming daddy." "Yes, sir" and so they flew off. Piccolo didn't know what it was but there was something about this guy he didn't trust. (one short flight later) As they landed in front of the house Dr. Gero began searching his pockets, but couldn't find what he was looking for. "Daddy is everything alright?" Raven asked her father with concern in her voice. "I think I lost the key." he told her. "Oh, well we can just use the one you keep under the mat." Once the door was unlocked, all three were greeted by the smell of smoke and motor oil. "The macro-forms!" Both Raven and Gero yelled as they both rushed down the stairs to the basement. The moment they got down there Raven began to help her father find the source of the smoke. "Dad, I found it it's pod 2!" Dr. Gero nodded.(After the pods are repaired) "I just don't understand it. Those were brand new hoses. And they were strong ones too, they just don't burst like that." Raven informed her father and Cell as she cleaned off her tools. "What surprises me most is that even though there was no damage in the other pods they both shut down" Gero told Raven as he and Cell tried to pry the hatch on the control panel open to see if there was anything wrong inside it. "What I don't understand is why you have a lab under your house. It makes you both look like mad scientists." Cell told them and earning a wrench to the head from Raven that also caused his helmet to come off. "Cell there's one thing you need to learn about Raven. If you do anything to upset her you're gonna' get a wrench in the head. And I tell you this from personal experience she never misses." Gero told Cell while still trying to get the door open. "Darn right. But still doesn't make sense. As far as we know this could have been staged. Because for some reason pod 2 is still working but because of the damage the macro-form will need constant monitoring, yet even without any damage the other two pods still shut down and we lost both forms." Raven told the guys. "Raven this is getting serious this is the second strange thing that's happened to a Red Ribbon quality lab this week." Gero told his daughter as he broke a crow bar trying to get the panel open.
