Agent Di in "Attack of the Saucers from Glorp" Part 5
In the medical lab Zeeltor was happily fiddling around with some gauze as Yazmine patted down the dried blood on Agent Di's shoulder. She had to be careful not to press too hard for fear of opening the wound again. "My but you two took quite a beating," she murmured.
"I think my jacket came out the worse for the wear," Di muttered, inspecting the tear on the shoulder.
"V can probably sew it up for you." Yazmine suggested.
Agent Chase was tugging off the mask to his human suit. Di glanced down at the mask as he tossed it onto the examining table. "That thing is so stuffy!" he complained.
The mask was pale skinned and had sandy blonde hair. It was actually a bit on the brownish side until the light hit it just right. Di had never noticed this while they were crawling through that dark pipe. Another thing, the mask made two of his three pupils disappear and gave him a forest green iris in each eye with streaks of neon green. V must have went all out when she made that human suit.
"Well, I think I've got you all bandaged up," Zeeltor announced, "now the only problem will be repairing the damage to that human suit of yours."
"Leave that to me." a voice announced from the lab entrance.
"Agent V," Yazmine smiled, pointing to the tear in Di's jacket, "we were just talking about you."
V wandered over to where the two rookies were sitting on the examining tables and inspected their suits carefully. Holding Di's jacket up to the light she smiled, "I should be able to sew this tear back together in two minutes flat."
She then looked at the damage to Chase's human suit with dismay. "But I'm afraid it'll take a while to fix that. It's going to take me around fifteen minutes to patch that up."
Chase and Di glanced at each other, "That's what you consider to be a while?"
V nodded sadly, "Sorry, but that's major damage."
Chase shrugged, "I'm sure I can wait that long."
"Alright then," V perked up, "no time like the present. Hand it over."
Chase stared at the human's outstretched hand, "Hand what over?" he asked nervously.
She rolled her eyes, Di's jacket draped across her other arm. "Your human suit, silly!"
His eyes grew wide. Glancing at the two other women in the room he spoke, "But-"
Hands on her hips V tapped her foot impatiently. Di snickered, he'd never do it.
To her surprise though, Chase reluctantly slipped out of his human suit. After handing it to V and watching her leave he turned to the two women.
"I'll get you a hospital gown to wear until she's finished." Yazmine smiled and headed off to the medical supply room.
Chase was standing there next to Di wearing nothing but his bright yellow happy face boxers. Di couldn't hold it in anymore, she burst out laughing. "Careful Chase---Don't want ya to catch a cold!"
Chase eyed her for a moment, "It's not my fault you're a slow crawler. This never would've happened if you'd learn to pick up the pace."
Di stopped chuckling and glared at him, "Oh please! If I didn't have to worry about you peeking up my skirt every time I made a move in that pipe-"
"Who said I was peeking up your skirt?!" Chase demanded.
"Not that this view is bad or anything!" Di sarcastically mimicked Chase's previous words.
"Oh try and give your partner a compliment and all the sudden you've got just one thing on your mind!" Chase retorted angrily.
Zeeltor stood back and watched the whole feud, it was rather fascinating the way the two new agents bickered. Similar to X and Elle's fights. Maybe it had something to do with underlying emotions that were contrary to those being expressed? Either way, it was fascinating!
Yazmine entered with the hospital gown and handed it to Chase. "Thanks," he muttered, snatching the gown and pulling it on over his head. "Can't believe I agreed to be partnered with you." he snapped at Di.
Di just turned her head away from him and scoffed, "This is me, Agent Di. You don't like it, go back to your cushy little peacekeeping job in the JeeDarn Galaxy!"
"JeeDang!" Chase corrected.
"Whatever." Di slid off the table and was about to leave when her communicator beeped. Sighing she pulled it out and opened the connection, "Di here."
Zed's image filled the small screen, "Agent Di, Agent Chase. I've got a new assignment for you."
"Yeah, we know." Di replied, "We'll be up to get it as soon as we finish our paperwork."
"Forget the paperwork for now." Zed spoke with a hint of concern in his voice. "I've got another assignment for you that takes priority over everything else."
"What's that?" Di questioned.
"Just get down to Central Park on the double," Zed instructed, "Agent Kay will fill you in once you arrive."
Di nodded as the connection was cut off. Turning to Chase she noticed that he'd heard everything. "Come on," she moaned, "we'd better get down to Costumes & Wardrobe and see if V's anywhere close to finishing those repairs yet."
"Way ahead of you." Chase mumbled, pushing past Di and heading for the door. Di's eyes widened as she watched him leave.
"Aren't you going to tell him?" Yazmine asked.
"Nah," Di snickered, "I think he has this little embarrassment coming to him."
She quickly left the room, following her partner down the hall. Chase turned for a fifth time to see his partner walking behind him a short distance away with that same mischievous smirk on her face. "What?!" he finally demanded.
"What do you mean 'what'?" Di inquired innocently.
"What's so funny?" he snapped, "Why has every agent we've passed started snickering? What's wrong with you people?"
Di mused over this a moment before strolling past Chase and calling over her shoulder, "Nothing's wrong with us, we all know better than to walk around with the backs of our hospital gowns wide open. Nice boxers!"
Chase's face went red, he felt behind himself and noticed that the little human was right. "Aaahhhh!!! Why didn't you tell me?!"
Tying the strings tightly he dashed into the Costumes & Wardrobe Department. Di was already there inspecting the work V had done to his human suit. "Can I have that back now?!" he gasped, looking up at his snickering partner.
"Almost done," V informed him. She glanced at her watch, "Record time for a repair like this too, it's only been seven minutes."
Di slipped on her newly repaired jacket and sneered at Chase, "Ladies first you know."
Chase glared at her, "Next time we're about to be some slimy creature's lunch, I am NOT saving you!"
"Save me?!" Di shouted, "I'm the one who iced that thing before it ate you!"
"Not before I blasted it off of you!" he countered.
V groaned and finished working on Chase's suit, "You two are worse than X and Elle."
