A/N: I might go again on this prompt, as I totally meant to do something else. Still love how it ended up, though.
Truly, Madly, Deeply
Gadget was standing by, watching as Charlie used the virtual data probe to access into MetroNet's datacore, NeuroBrain. She wasn't exactly sure why he needed to use a virtual reality headset to do that, but didn't want to leave him alone while he did it. While at Child Services, she'd seen one too many television shows about Virtual Reality gone wrong and caution was good, even if she couldn't put what she felt into words. Or something... would he have believed her if she'd told him? Probably not.
A sigh escaped his lips and she looked sharply at him to find him more relaxed than she'd ever seen him, and his posture was suddenly not as rigid as it had been.
Later, Charlie would deny that anything out of the ordinary had happened, and Gadget would be left wondering if she'd imagined it.
