Starship Overdrive: 9:20
After the group had safely made it away from the tower, Mat grinned at
Throttle.
"Thanks for the rescue. Even after the whole kidnapping thing."
" `I' wouldn't leave anyone to the Plutarkians…" He ran a hand over his
bikes gas tank. "No matter how much I didn't like them."
Mat blinked again as Throttles last comment was directed not at him but at
Fury who'd just come back inside.
"Limburgers goons broke off pursuit." He informed no one in particular,
ignoring Throttles comment. "He didn't realize that the Overdrive was
still air worthy."
Throttle looked around and frowned deeper. "This ship is the one that
stole the weapons from the supply depo last night."
Mat winced and grinned slightly "Stole is such a harsh word."
"And you're the ones that fired on us!" Fury growled.
"Oh-mama." Modo muttered.
"Here we go again." Vinnie rolled his eyes "I swear those two are just
like…"
"Brothers." Charlie finished for him, her eyes flicking back and forth
between the two angry mice.
"Well…ya I suppose you could say that." Vinnie sniffed "I was gonna say
wild howler monkeys but I guess brothers would be the same thing."
"No you idiot." Charlie poked him in the ribs. "I mean it's like they
could be brothers…I mean look at them."
Vinnie shook his head "Not possible sweet-heart."
Charlie propped her hands on her hips. "Then what's your explanation oh
wise one?" She asked, "Look at them…if they were the same age they could
be twins!"
"You self-righteous prig!" Fury exclaimed breaking up the speculation.
"You have no idea what my life's been like!"
"It obviously doesn't come with a moral compass." Throttle said back
snidely.
Mat stepped between the two of them. "Just calm down, both of you…I don't
need to be moping the blood off the hulls."
Modo drifted over to Throttle and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Chill
man, you're acting like Vinnie." He joked lamely.
Fury glared at Mat. "The sooner I drop them off at that garage and get
back in space the happier I'll be." He looked over at Charlie. "We have to
be careful Limburgers goons are about but I'll let you know when we get
there…" He turned and stalked out of the cargo bay.
Mat shrugged "He's normally a rather pleasant fellow." He tried to
reassure them.
Modo frowned at Mat and crossed his arms. "He said he ain't from Mars…
what's his story?"
Mat sighed and shook his head. "I took him in when he was a toddler…his
mother was sold into slavery by Sandraiders."
Both Vinnie and Modo started.
"What is it?" Charlie asked Vinnie softly
"Throttles mom was captured by Sandraiders." He said back softly.
Charlie looked over at Throttle who was still fuming silently. If his hair
was a little shorter, he lost his shades and was a few years younger…."Oh
my god…" She gasped putting a hand over her mouth as they all turned to
look at her.
Mat shrugged thinking she was reacting to his story. "She was a tough
woman." He grinned in memory. "I've never seen a woman, alien or
otherwise, with more spirit then Sable. Beautiful too…never saw that color
fur before or again…almost like Mars sand."
Throttle turned sharply "What did you say?!" He grabbed Mat by the shirt
collar and slammed him against the wall. "What are you trying to pull!?
Who sent you?!" He growled
Charlie gasped. Never in the time since she'd known him had Throttle ever
lost control like that. He looked like he was ready to kill Mat then and
there. Mat struggled under Throttles grip. "Air…necessity to live!" He
gasped.
Modo grabbed one of Throttle's arms. "Ease up Bro….can't answer you if
he's dead." He said worried.
Throttle clenched his teeth but loosened his hold enough for Mat to pull
himself free. "How do you know my mother?" He growled "What kind of cruel
joke are you trying to pull?!"
Mat's eyes widened till they looked like they would fall out of his head.
"Shit…I should have noticed. She never talked about before the raiders…
She's been pregnet when they captured her….I never knew about before…"
The anger slowly leaked out of Throttle and he looked back at Mat. "Do you
know where she is?" He asked hopefully.
Mat shook his head and frowned "No, I went back after…I looked for her…
but she was gone."
Throttles shoulders slumped further. He looked at the door Fury had left
through. "Then that would make him…"
