Hi guys! Stebba stud 28, I know that the first chapter is pretty hard to decipher(my worst) and so I'll try to make my writing clearer. Thanks for giving me that. If any of you others feel that way, I'm working on it! :) Also, this is the Netflix series, not the original, so that might be why you're having trouble there. I also understand that Penny and Talon are way,way out of character, so I'll keep that in mind while writing this chapter.
Penny's POV
I can't believe I said all those things to Talon. Well, serves him right. I've been waaaay too nice to him lately...but still, I feel bad for him. So maybe I'll be nice to him today and do same old same old tomorrow. I'm still getting over the shock that I actually kissed him. I kissed Talon Claw. And it was...pretty nice. I'd like to do something like that again. I just don't get my feelings for him. It's so up and down! AUUUGGHHH I WISH I NEVER MET TALON CLAW!
Talon's POV
This is day four of Penny's prison sentence. Less than sixteen days before her death, because dad's most likely gonna shorten it. Here he comes now.
"Talon, your yellow-haired girlfriend's time has been shortened. it is now ten days before her death."
"Dad, she's not my girlfriend."
"Good. I don't want you to go around kissing random HQ agents. Next thing we know, she'll have a bouncing baby with the last name 'Claw'." What?! My cheeks turn red. It's not like I'm ever gonna do it with Penny, that's disgusting! Even though I have pictured her in a bikini multiple times…
Penny's POV
I hear Talon's dad talking to him and then Talon gets dragged over to my cell. Which was way dirtier than the SuperCell and a lot more empty.
"Turns out that there are a lot more dungeons than we thought, huh?"
"Is this another thing you're gonna rattle me about?" I sigh.
"Talon…" I start, but I stop.
"Remember the second night of the SuperCell?" he asks.
"Yeah," I say.
"Good, 'cause I was beginning to think it was a dream."
"I remember it so vividly, because I'm sure it won't happen again." He laughs.
"Pretty Penny, it'll happen again if you want it to." What was that supposed to mean? Was he teasing me? I snarl and tackle him. He tries to get me off of him but with no avail.
"Please, Penny, get off me!" he pleads. I laugh and release him.
"Don't tease me like that anymore, you understand?"
"Oh, Pen, I'll surely tease you like that again."
"Good." I smile. "Can we be friends?"
"We can be more, if you want." I blush. He grins and continues, "Because I have pictured you in a bikini more than once." I blush even more.
"Shut up, Talon."
"Okay, we'll have this talk later."
"Waaay later."
"Way, waaaaay later."
"No, not that much!"
"Okay, okay, waaay later."
Talon's POV
I'm glad that things have been patched up between Penny and me. But still...something's wrong. I don't know what, but something is wrong. I'll be back working with SEVS in less than three days, but I have different feelings for Penny now, and I just don't know what to do. AUUUGGGH I WISH I NEVER MET PENNY GADGET(that is her last name, right?)!
Penny's POV
Talon and I talk until noon, when they give us mushy green stuff. It's disgusting. I don't eat it, but Talon scarfs it down.
"Mmm,good" he says through a mouthful. I gag.
General POV
Talon and Penny eat their green mush(well, at least Talon does) and chat with each other. Meanwhile, a man watches them from the opposite cell.
"I know true love when I see it," he says, a little louder than he had intended. Talon turns around, and Penny scans the area behind him.
"Talon, there's a man in the other cell."
"What? That can't be right…"
"I see him. He looks-Talon, he looks a lot like you!"
"Penny, I need to tell you something."
"Talon, we need to get that man out of there, he's malnourished and dying."
"Penny!"
"What?"
"Before he put the chloroform cloth under my nose, my dad told me that he's not my real father."
"So that could be your father."
"That could be my father!" With surprising strength, Talon pries the rusted iron bars apart and runs towards his father's cell.
"Dad?"
"Tal?"
"Dad!"
"Tal!" A touching reunion between father and son occurs and brings tears to Penny's eyes.
"Quick Talon, get him in our cell!" Talon gently places his father inside the cell and Penny gives her bowl of uneaten slop to him.
"Eat up, . Or should I say, the Real Lord Claw."
You like? The next chapter will be something like what pineapplefish suggested, but a little different. Thank you to all my reviewers, followers, and favorite-ers.
