*Nosedive's room*
"This is sooo not fair, out of all the people it had to be us, but of course it's us! Why not us, so unfair." Nosedive said to himself as he laid on his back on his bed staring at the ceiling. Wildwing had been trying to listen through the door but got only muffles, it wasn't like Wildwing to listen in, not he was worried and Nosedive obviously didn't want to talk about it. But being the FANTASTIC big bro. He is, Wildwing decided that if Nosedive would rather talk to the shadows on the wall than to him, he walked away and from the metal door and into the living room (sorry, I dunno the names of all the rooms in the pond). As he turned the corner into the huge room he found Mallory and Duke sitting on the couch watching T.V.
"So..are you guys Okay?" Wildwing asked hesitantly.
"Do we LOOK okay?" Duke snapped back at Wildwing, Duke normally didn't usually reply or let alone speak so sharply to them, but then again this wasn't something that any one of the members were happy with, so Wildwing quickly blew it off realizing that Duke didn't REALLY mean it.
"Okay..." Wildwing said looking over to the big screen television, Wing figured, walking around the Pond or outside probably wasn't an option considering the current situation so he settled onto the couch and watched T.V, and did mainly nothing (VERY unlike Wildwing!)
*Meanwhile in Dive's room*
"So bored, so incredibly bored." Nosedive said dully to himself. He wanted to get out of the Pond, he had been there all day, he already read every comic book he owned, beat all his video games, watched every scifi flic he could find, and now he wanted out, anywhere, didn't matter he just needed out of the confinement of the Pond (see folks, this is what happens with an attention span of 15 minutes and being forced to stretching it to 2 hours.). Then it suddenly dawned onto Nosedive that no one knew what had happened, so just maybe, no one would recognize him.
"HEY WING!" Nosedive yelled out for his older brother as he ran down the hallway to tell Wing what he had just learned. Wildwing heard his brother yelling and figured something was wrong, so he took off down the hallway to find him, then the next thing he knew, he was in the middle of ahead on collision.
"OW! Dive what are you doing?" Wildwing asked his brother while rubbing his elbow that had collided with the wall.
"Do ya think anyone would recognize us if we went out?" Nosedive asked his brother sounding almost enthusiastic
"Um, I really don't know, I didn't think of it before." Wildwing answered sounding cautious to the question, he really hadn't thought of it before.
"Well..." Nosedive said turning to poke his head around the corner to face Duke and Mallory, who had remained in their spots on the couch.
"Ummm, well if it hasn't gotton to the press yet I guess they wouldn't." Duke replied to the teen uneasily, not moving his gaze from the television
"Kay, I'm going over to Captain Comics." Nosedive said quickly then ran out the door. There was a short period of silence when Mallory decided to break the ice.
"I thought he'd be a little more upset than this." Mallory stated her opinion to the others, who had actually had been thinking the same thing. Wildwing looked over to her and gave her a nervous look.
"Do you think he's hiding something?" Wing asked her sounding somewhere in between nervous and serious
"Nah, he probably just wants this to go as smoothly as possible. Dive's never been through something like this before, sure he's been through a lot, but this is totally different than the normal bashing we endure. He wants to just regain his normal lifestyle, and act as if nothings wrong, Dive mainly just doesn't want to be locked inside all day away from everyone, plus he ran out of comics." Grin told the group in a long speech, which earned him strange looks from the rest of the team (Wing, Mal, and Duke)
"You ARE normal!" Duke exclaimed, this has been the first time he's ever been able to understand what Grin had said.
"Normal is vastly over-rated." Grin replied to Duke calmly
"I spoke too soon." Duke replied to Grin then walked out of the room and into the kitchen
"Yes you did." Grin said under his breath while suppressing a laugh
"What?" Duke asked turning around to see what Grin had said
"Nothing." Grin said looking up from the floor, he had been looking down to hide the fact that he had been smiling at the fact that he once again managed to confuse his friend. Grin sat indian-style on the floor and began to meditate.
"You think he's okay?" Wildwing asked Mallory again sounding even more worried than the last time.
"I think he'll be fine, we all are gonna have to adjust to this, none of us like it." Mallory told Wing in the most gentle voice he had EVER heard from her. He figured that she wasn't saying this just to make him feel better, but was saying it because it was the truth. So he took her word for it, and went into his own room. Mallory gave a deep sigh and laid back on the couch.
*On the way to Captain Comics*
Nosedive walked up the streets to the mall, he would've taken a duck-cycle, but then people might get suspicious, so Dive decided against it.
"I wonder if Thrash and Mook'll recognize me?" Nosedive said to himself as he turned to face a humongous comical looking superhero sign.
"Gotta find out eventually." He said after a deep sigh then walked in through the glass double doors. Mookie was standing at the counter and Thrash was playing with a new squirtgun he just bought. Mookie looked up and faced the blonde teen who had just entered the store.
"Haven't see ya here before, are you like, new?" Mookie asked him smiling
"Yeah, are you new?" Thrash asked following Mookie over to Nosedive.
"Um, well, uh, this is sorta hard to explain." Nosedive started but couldn't think of a way to explain it.
"Like, try us." Said Mookie in a playful tone.
"Okay..." Nosedive replied to her warily. "I'm, Nosedive." He said completing his statement. Everyone was silent, Thrash and Mookie looked back and forth to each other as Nosedive waited for an answer, then they both burst out in laughter.
"How could you possibly think we would believe THAT!" Thrash said to the kid loudly in-between laughs
"I'm not lying, I swear!" Nosedive said in a high pitched voice, a little bit louder than he meant to. Thrash and Mookie stopped laughing and gave the kid a serious look, apparently he was either really weird or really stupid...or MAYBE it really was Dive. They didn't know what to think, so Mookie decided to test it.
"Okay, if you really ARE Nosedive, tell us something only he would know." Mookie told him trying to intimidate the kid.
"Yeah, what's your hockey number?" Thrash added as a question, gaining him a strange look a whack upside the head from Mookie.
"Anyone who watched hockey would know THAT!" Mookie mockingly told Thrash. She was tired of the games and wanted to know who this kid was, and what he wanted
"Who's the guy you like, secretly fight?" Mookie said turning once again to the blonde teen, looking him directly in the eyes, letting him know she was not playing. Normally Mookie is good natured but this could be serious and she wanted to get to the bottom of this.
"Dragaunus." Nosedive answered her. Mookie's eyes widened in shock, that IS something only the real Nosedive would know.
"Dive!" Thrash yelled to his friend. Nosedive looked at him and gave him a dirty look.
"SHHHHH! I don't want anyone to know." Nosedive informed them
"Oh, sorry dude." Thrash told Dive, face reddening from embarrassment.
"So, uh, you wanna tell us what happened." Mookie asked Nosedive looking thoroughly concerned for her friend.
"Well, ya know that weirdo who wanted to run tests on us?" They nodded their heads in response. "Well, he got a hold of us and injected something into our bloodstream to do, well, this." Nosedive finished stepping back to give his friends a full view of him.
"Can you fix this?" Thrash asked Nosedive. Thrash was pretty concerned about this and so was Mookie. They weren't used to seeing their friend like this.
"Tanya is working on that right now. As far as she knows, we're stuck like this for 2 days at least." Nosedive informed the two. Thrash and Mookie looked at each other then looked over to Nosedive. Thrash picked up the squirtgun he had been messing with when Nosedive came in and soaked Dive in it. Mookie was laughing hysterically at this, Nosedive jumped because of the fact that this was very unexpected and the water was ice cold, his feathers didn't protect him from that before so the normally fine temperature water to him was now ice cold. Thrash and Nosedive looked over to Mookie, who was still laughing and Thrash soaked her with the squirtgun.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" Thrash yelped, the water was cold, and the gel had washed out of her hair, letting it fall a little farther than shoulder length. Now Nosedive and Thrash had nearly doubled over from laughing, neither one of them had seen Mookie with her hair down before.
"I'm, I'm, I'm bored. Let's go to the arcade." Nosedive told them in between breathes
"My, aren't we the ambitious one." Mookie told him playfully.
"Oh, c'mon no one will know who I am." Nosedive replied to her in an almost pleadingly voice.
"Okay, okay you win." Mookie said
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'YOU WIN'? YOU'RE THE ONCE'S WHO TOLD ME ABOUT THOSE AWESOME HUMAN VIDEO GAMES ANYWAY!" Nosedive yelled to her in an equally playfull tone
"I just enjoy buggin' you." Mookie said smirking at him
"I've noticed, let's go!" Nosedive replied racing out the door ahead of them
"Think anyone will recognize him?" Mookie asked Thrash once Nosedive was out of earshot
"No, why?" Thrash asked her feeling confused
"He goes through enough without added pressure. I just don't want him getting hurt" Mookie replied to him shortly Thrash put a hand on her shoulder, letting her know not to worry.
"He'll be fine, no one knows who he is." Thrash reassured her. Mookie looked back to him, then they both ran out the door after Nosedive.
