Chapter 10: In-A-Fix Felix

"Ow! That hurts!" yelped C.P. as he flew downwards and for the exit.

Calhoun had tied a thin cable between some of his mouth parts and was using it for reins. "Yeah, well the faster you get me to Fix-It Felix, Jr. the sooner I'll quit yanking on it."

"Do you really want to do this? Big can of worms you're opening up here."

"Your Sarge has betrayed me!" said Calhoun angrily. "Of course I'm going to open it up! And I'm going to serve it to both of you for dinner!"

"If you just let it go, he'll never know..."

"Oh I'm sure he'll know. I mean we aren't the same person and he's not blind."

Few heads turned as C.P. flew through Code Blue's staging area, but a whole lot of heads turned as they blasted into Game Central Station and dove into Fix-It Felix, Jr.. The Surge Protector didn't even have a chance to react to the breach.

Calhoun left C.P. outside of Niceland and ran inside. Not bothering to wait for the elevator, she ran up the fourteen half-flights of stairs to Felix's place, whipped out her key, burst into the apartment, and then went crashing into the bedroom.

Startled by the noise, Blue Calhoun and Felix sat up in bed, gasping at the intruder.

"You!" Calhoun spat. "You set me up so you could steal my husband!"

"Tammy?" choked Felix as he looked from one woman to the other.

The one in bed next to him sighed and looked away guiltily.

"You had C.P. keep me away so you could take advantage of Felix in my absence!"

It suddenly dawned on Felix what had happened...the romantic evening had been a set up and he'd completely fallen for it. "Oh no...oh curses no..." he whimpered. "I thought you were really Tammy, well, my Tammy." Felix fell back against the pillows and pulled the covers up over his head. "I just made love to the wrong Sgt. Calhoun," he wailed from beneath the sheets.

"I am Tammy. We're the same character."

"But you're not the same person," snarled the irate Calhoun. "Now get your hands off of him and get out of that bed." She whipped out her pistol and aimed it right at Blue Calhoun.

There was a loud buzz at the window and suddenly there was a large Cy-Bug outside of it, his four blue eyes staring in. Calhoun swung her pistol to the window and fired a few shots at C.P., who screamed and ducked behind the brick wall for cover. "And take your damn insect with you!"

Wordlessly Blue Calhoun slipped from the bed and tugged on the casual military jumpsuit she had arrived in.

"Now get out of here you...you...backstabber," Calhoun hissed at her twin. "I trusted you. You were my best friend. And now this! How could you find it in your Code to betray me?"

Blue Calhoun grabbed her satin robe and went to the shattered window. C.P. edged a little closer as she leaned out. "You wouldn't even listen to me if I told you," she said mercilessly as she climbed up onto C.P.'s back.

Calhoun turned to Felix as the drone of the Cy-Bug Prime's wings faded away. "And you..." she said walking up to the head of the bed.

"Tammy, I couldn't tell. Honestly."

Calhoun yanked back the bedcovers. Felix curled up tightly, trembling slightly, feeling very guilty and vulnerable.

"She has that broken black heart tattoo. How could you miss that!?"

"It was covered up by her robe."

"I just saw it, plain as day."

"It's kinda dark in here...and I wasn't really looking."

With that she slapped him across the cheek. "That's a poor excuse, soldier."

"Ow~" he whined. "But Tammy..."

"I'm going home."

"Hey Sarge! That other Markowski's here," said Blue Kohut as he gestured to the man beside him.

"Oh?" She said looking up from wiping down her assault rifle, something she liked to do in-between players.

The man saluted. "I have a message for you, Sir." He handed Blue Calhoun a note, written in her own handwriting.

Street Fighter

M. Bison's stage

Midnight

Mano-a-mano

Blue Calhoun crumpled the note. "Private Markowski, tell her I'll be there."
