This next chapter gets a bit more interesting. You should read and find out.
Still at the underground lair, all six Loonatics are up against the big bubble headed villain. Obviously, five of the Loonatics weren't just going to let Tech fight her alone, so they've decided to help him.
"We're no match for her, she's too strong," Ace struggled to get up off the ground.
"You're telling me; that big brain gave me a headache," Lexi added as she tried to rub the pain off her head.
As Ace and the others lay there, Mallory was satisfied enough to laugh at the pain of those Acme heroes. Well she did it; Mallory finally won and stole 2000 tons of metal and made her quick get away, before anyone else could notice. Ace noticed a quick sneak peek of Mallory escaping and there was only one thing to do about that.
"Rev," Ace called from across the ground "Go get Mastermind; she is getting away; you must stop her, quickly!"
Rev got up as quickly as he could, rubbed his head and ran off, in his quickest speed ever. As he ran, Rev was right behind Mastermind and then when he caught up to her; Rev jumped over her head and landed right in front. A very shocked Mallory just stared and only knew that she couldn't get away, with that road runner on her tail. Though, for some strange reason; a smile struck her face.
"My my, you are fast," she touched Rev's cheek and drew her hand up and down his face.
He began to feel warm from the good massage that he was getting and he responded distractedly and quite slowly. "I am?"
"Oh yes, you are; very much so. Please do me a favor though?"
"Anything."
"Please don't tell Tech that I have had my eye on you for some time, now. It'll be our secret," she spoke very sweetly and waved to him. Rev just stood there; looking straight ahead, happily and then he sighed and turned back. But, as he barely walked three quarters of the path; Rev bumped into something hard, he soon looked up and saw Tech standing in front of him and he was crossing his arms and giving the road runner an angry look. Rev shook his head and opened his eyes fully wide, to show that he was back to normal. Tech continued to give him the silent treatment for another minute and then he finally took a deep breath and spoke.
"So, you don't like it when I tell the others about a fun fact about you, but instead; you start dating behind my back." He quickly began to walk away; not wanting what Rev had to say.
"Tech-this-isn't-what-it-looks-like-I-wasn't-aware-she-tricked-me," Rev tried to walk around him, to get his attention." Please-you-have-to-believe-me-I-would-never…"
"All I know is that you just want to date Mastermind behind my back! Nothing else matters to you, except for implying that we used to go out, telling me that you like Lexi, when you really don't and then almost kissing Mallory on her giant, swollen head!" Tech yelled louder over Rev's voice and continued walking away.
Back at headquarters, Rev and Tech again did not speak to one another. They were sitting beside each other, but they did not even take one glance at one another.
Lexi got up and headed for her room, when she closed the door; Rev decided to follow her. Once he got up to a closed door, Rev opened it slightly and saw Lexi in the room; once she saw the road runner; she screamed. "Rev, get out! Get out now!" She slammed the door on him and Rev walked back slowly in shock. Ace noticed and decided to get some input out of the road runner, because every time he had that look; there was something shocking or important going on.
"Hey, Rev; you okay?"
Rev looked up at the slightly worried rabbit; with his hand over his stomach and a sad expression on his face.
"Of-of-course-I'm-okay-Ace-why-wouldn't-I-be-you-think-that-I-can't-be-trusted-it's-not-like-I-just-spied-on-Lexi-if-that's-what-you're-implying."
"What'd you just say?" Ace came up to him closer.
"I-said-I-said-Texas-serves-great-pie-don't-you-think-so-best-pie-I-ever-had-I-mean-wow!" Rev darted around quickly, along with his voice and laughed nervously.
Ace tried to look Rev straight in the eye, suspiciously. Then, he turned away and shrugged his shoulders;
"oookay, doc. Wutevu floats yu boat," with that, Ace turned around walked away and Rev was relieved. Tech on the other hand, just glared at him. He knew something was up and he would make sure that Rev was aware of that.
The next morning, the Loonatics were all sitting by the table. Lexi sat as far away from Rev as possible. She just glared at him and Rev just felt so guilty. That meant that Lexi would never forgive him or want to speak to him again. Rev looked away from Lexi and tried to get away from the embarrassment towards her in his eyes. He only knew that what he saw was only common and something that you would see a lot. Rev knew that Lexi was growing up and he knew that he was growing up as well and thought that maybe it was nothing to feel threatened about. On the other hand, Rev still has his innocence lying over his head; so what if he thought that something has happening to him at the worst time possible? He couldn't stop thinking about Mastermind sweet talking him at the underground lair; just to get away with 2000tons of metal. Even so, does it connect to the way he's been acting lately? Is there something going on with his best friend, Tech? Because usually, when someone doesn't like the other, they wouldn't seemed to mind all that much if that person was seen with someone else. Seeing Lexi doing such a habit must be a sign of something. But, what could it be? Could it be stress? Could it be that she would rather be a normal rabbit instead?
"What could it be?" Rev thought slowly and carefully to himself. He tried to put the pieces of the puzzle together; but things just didn't add up.
Rev just shook his and stood up; "I'm-going-for-a-walk," he announced to the team.
Everyone looked up at him with dull eyes and they said; "okay Rev, but be back soon."
Rev waved good bye to all of them and then he raced off quickly. When he got to the front door, Rev unlocked it and then closed it behind him.
