Here's chapter 4! By the way, here're some replies to the comments given to me.

June: Thank you! I'm glad you like the story. I'm very passionate about this fanfic, so I'm glad you are enjoying it.

Abigail: You guessed it! #TalennyForever.

StarcoForAllEnternity: Yes, I will keep writing this and finish it. Talon and Penny are one of my utmost favorite pairings. I would be crazy not to finish this story. It's going to be about ten to seventeen chapters long, give or take. Also, I'm glad that I do keep to the proper characters. Thanks for the feedback ;)

As for the rest of you, thank you! And I will update more! (Thanks, summer vacation!) Now, time for the story! Enjoy! Go go gadget story.

Is my uncle actually serious?! In all the places to have Penny sleep in this giant room, he actually wants her to share a bed with me? That's it! It's official! My uncle lost it. I'm doomed for eternity. Why did I have to make that bet at this time? Why? Now she's going to be creeped out for life about me and it's all my Uncle's fault. My life is officially over from this point on. Just kill me already, please.

*IG*

Did I hear that right? Please tell me that the phone call was just a huge misunderstanding. Or is Talon’s Uncle mentally insane? If it is insanity, then I pity Talon, and that's the understatement of the year. I just hope Talon isn't doomed for life. The only thing I can do is not be creeped out for life every time I see Talon.

Okay, so I need a plan of action. How about telling Penny why she was kidnapped in the first place. Then to prove things, I'll tell her my biggest secret. I just hope that it goes well. It's now or never. "Um, Penny. We need to talk. It's about why you were actually kidnapped in the first place." I walk over to the couch. "Can I sit here?"

She nods, "Go ahead."

I sit on the couch right beside her. "So, where do I start?"

"How about at the beginning where the idea came from."

"Right, okay. So, this morning when I was getting my mission from my Uncle, he had a plan that was different from all his other ones."

"Different how?"

"Well... First off, it was actually a smart plan. My Uncle comes up with the most stupid ideas, but today he actually had one that was useful." I pressed some buttons on my codex and pulled up the plans. "We were wanting to capture you and hold you for ransom, in exchange for the Gadget 2.0. plans. Also for the Professor's soup recipe."

Penny reads my codex and looks at me. "What else tipped you off?"

"Well, my Uncle was actually nice to me for once. That morning I told myself that if Uncle C came up with an actually good plan, I'd eat my shoe."

"Did you eat your shoe?"

"No, actually. He told me to eat a shoe at the shoe gummy factory instead. Usually, my Uncle is never concerned with my own well-being."

Penny looks at me concerned. "Then why not leave?"

Sighing, I get up from the couch and walk towards my desk. "It's probably best if I show you why." I unlock a drawer and pull out three files. I walk back to the couch and lay the folders on the coffee table. I grab the red folder and show it to Penny. "This is the folder on my parents' death. They were driving back home from work. Despite my Grandma's protests, they decided to stay out of the family business and have an honest living. My Dad ran a technology store alongside my Mother. Hence the reason why I am advanced with technology." I pulled out a picture from my pocket and shown it to Penny. "The ones that caused the crash were some thieves in a speed chase robbery. If I remember correctly, Gadget was the one on the case. This was before he officially became known as Inspector Gadget. The case was called..."

"The Rutherford case."

I looked at Penny surprised. "How did you know?"

"This was the case that caused my Uncle to need cyber electronic surgery to save his life. It was because of this case that he had to become known as Inspector Gadget."

I grabbed a blue folder and shown it to Penny. "In the aftermath of the accident, I had to be put into an orphanage. I wasn't treated like the other children because of my family history. I worked dawn to dusk with my efforts fruitless. The adults would take one look at me and turn me down. Adoption for me was next to impossible. When I turned fifteen, I snuck into the registration office and checked my family profile. The only one who was available to keep care of my was Uncle Claw, but he was frozen in the iceberg at the time. So, I forged his signature and broke him out of the iceberg."

Penny looked through the papers. "Then why did you break into HQ that one time?"

"It was to prove my 'loyalty' to my Uncle, and to make sure that he would not put me back in the orphanage." I grabbed the brown folder and handed it to her. "My big secret is that I'm applying and going through law school. I want to be able to leave this place when I'm of age and leave the family business like my parents did. I want to change the law so that kids like me don't have to go through the same thing I did when I was in the orphanage. Also, I don't want to go down with the ship when my family finally gets arrested." I grab the folders from Penny and put them back down on the table. "You understand why I wanted to keep this a secret now?"

Penny looks at me and nods. "Yeah. But why not join HQ. You could do the same thing and much more. Besides, I don't think an office is your style."

I sighed and looked at Penny. "As much as I would love to join HQ, I can't because of me betraying them and my family history. Law was the only answer I could find and that road's already hard enough."

*IG*

This isn't right. Talon shouldn't be treated this way because of how his family was. But, that doesn't justify his actions against the law. I guess now I have to ask more questions for the answers I seek. "Why do you follow through with your missions then? If you want to work with the law, then why do you try to complete your Uncle's bidding. Also, you seem to enjoy being 'evil'."

Talon takes a breath in. "I follow through to put up a facade. If I don't do my Uncle's bidding I could get kicked out off here. With the whole 'evil' thing, it's for me to both vent out my emotions and helps with the facade." He smiles at me. "Plus, I know that you'll always beat me at the game in the end."

One last question slides into my mind. "How do I know that I'm not part of your facade."

*IG*

That one question hangs between us. I guess I have no other choice but to show my true colors. I gently grip Penny's chin. "Is this part of a facade?" I lean in and kiss her, showing all my true colors to her.

I was fangirling while writing the end. ;)
