7 Meeting Of The Minds
If Kevin hadn't been running for his life he would have questioned why there were two Jens standing outside the museum when there had only been one that ran out ahead of him. Soon Upchuck and Big Chill were both fighting the Forever Knight Urich in his alien armor but they seemed less coordinated than Jen usually was. They frowned at each other.
"I think it's timeā¦" One said.
"For a meeting of the minds." The other finished and both switched their Ultimatrixes to Echo-Echo before melding back into one and green lights flashed. Jen blinked as though slightly confused about why she was where she was. She had just enough time to dodge a large metal fist. The Forever Knight laughed.
"I see you've chosen to go back to your singular self but has no one told you there's safety in numbers?" She shrugged.
"You would think so yeah. Not always true though." She flicked the dial on the Ultimatrix and slapped it down. Green lights flashed and stayed as her Anodite form materialized around her. She giggled as she took to the air and spun around the armor leaving a trail of green energy behind her. He tripped over it as Jen's green energy hair grew and spread ripping chunks out of the armor. He tried to fire off a laser but Jen raised blackish green hands.
"Contego!" She shouted and a green shield blossomed. Her mana hair ripped into the armor, leaving the knight free. He took off. Jen pointed at him with one hand dropping the shield. "Appendaga Regoria!" The knight froze, floating a few inches above the ground. Jen grinned a glowing smile.
"Go ahead and cuff him Pierce. Careful though, the spell breaks when you touch him." Pierce nodded and knocked the immobilized Knight out of the air and cuffed him quickly as Kevin called for the Plumbers to pick up the offender. Pierce glanced at this transformation and grinned.
"What are you calling this one?" Jen thought for a moment, floating a few feet above the ground.
"Stardust!" She grinned and spun in the air. Kevin grinned slightly then he shook his head.
"At least you seem to be studying that book Gwen gave you." Jen nodded and pulled that same book out of thin air.
"It's gotten to the point I can summon it in this transformation whenever." She landed and green lights flashed again as the Plumbers arrived and loaded up the Forever Knights and trashed armor up. Pierce left with them and Kevin grabbed the back of Jen's shirt and dragged her into his car. He pointed a finger at Jen, very close to her nose.
"Your cousin and I are very happy. And for your information I am respecting her, so you can take your opinion on when we need to 'bone' and stuff them!" He turned to the steering wheel. Jen buckled her seatbelt and buried her head in her hands.
"Fuck I may have said way too much while I was two people." Kevin nodded.
"Yeah, but you get to explain when Gwen's here to yell at you too." Jen nodded and kept quiet as they returned to the stadium. During their fight the final set had ended and Julie had been declared the victor. Gwen had stuck around to watch the game and both girls glared at Jen as she and Kevin made their way to the bottom of the stands. Julie raised an eyebrow and Jen launched into her explanation. She'd had no idea that splitting herself as Echo-Echo would cause a personality spilt too. Gwen nodded.
"That explains the easy emotional unloading you dropped on me." Jen buried her head in her hands Gwen patted her on the back. "It's not a bad thing, more a lot to process." Jen groaned.
"It's like splitting myself completely tossed any filters out the window." Kevin laughed.
"That's true." Gwen glanced at him questioningly. "She essentially called the Plumbers a coward to Pierce's face, and made some other suggestions." He coughed. Gwen looked between the two. Jen glared at Kevin.
"I said Kevin was too much of a coward to take your relationship to the next level. I think the wording I used was that you two needed to bone." Both of them went bright red. Julie burst out laughing.
"That in and of itself might be enough for me to forgive you missing my match. Come on you owe me dinner." Jen nodded and scampered away from her embarrassed teammates as quickly as she could dragging Julie along behind her. Gwen coughed slightly as Kevin avoided meeting her eyes. Neither of them spoke as they made their way out of the stadium.
