"Is she back yet?" asked Vile he had some how got out of Cerebro's room and
into the main room of the back where the girls lived. Up front he could
here the club's music and crowd. "I have absolutely no idea." Replied Rena
who was sitting not far from him watching TV. "You'd better sit down." She
said after a few minutes, not even bothering to look in his direction.
Vile didn't argue, it had taken almost all his strength to get out of
Cerebro's room and down to here. He sat down on the couch next to Rena and
leaned back, letting out a sigh of relief. Rena turned to face him, and he
saw she had a look of fire in her eyes. She reached out her hand to touch
his leg but he slapped it away. "Hands off." He hissed, "She doesn't
deserve you!" Rena hissed back, standing up and walking out of the room she
stopped at the doorway than said, "Do you believe that she will stay loyal
to you? I have my doubts, so you should test yours." With that said she
left. "I do trust her." He said to himself. "Do I?" he asked no one. "Trust
what your heart tells you." Said Zoë, as she came out from behind a
curtain. "Zoë, were you spying on me?" "No, I just like reading on the
window sill." Replied Zoë as she bounced on to the couch next to Vile. "But
like I said before sometimes it's better to listen to your heart and not
your head." Vile pondered her words and came to a decision. "Yes, I do
trust her." He said softly. "Good, now will you listen to me read aloud?
It's one of the assignments Cerebro gave me." "Sure, what are you reading?"
"Searching for Dragons."
"We're back!" called Iris as she stepped into her apartment that she shared
with a human woman named Jessica. Jessica had long brown hair and dark
brown eyes. "Hey," called Jessica as she appeared from the kitchen. "Have
fun? Sorry I couldn't go but I had duty earlier today. Who's your friend?"
she said wiping her hands on a towel as Naomi appeared at the door. "I'm
Naomi." Naomi said as she reached her hand out to shake for Jessica to
shake it. "I'm Jessica." Jessica replied shaking Naomi's hand. "Pleased to
meet you." "Meow!" Cried a little green and yellow cat as it jumped on
Naomi's head. "Tango" scolded Jessica "You know that's impolite." "I am
sorry." It chirped as Jessica pick up the little cat up off Naomi's head.
Naomi stared with wonder at the little robotic cat in Jessica's arms.
"Hello, I am Tango. Class warrior/companion type." Said the little green and yellow robotic cat. "Wow!" was all Naomi could say. "Would you like some tea?" asked Jessica putting Tango down and the cat disappeared as soon as her feet touched the floor. "Yes, thank you." Said Naomi. "Come on have a seat." Said Iris plopping down on a chair. "Yes, please have a seat," said Jessica heading towards the kitchen, "and Iris," "Yes." "I'm only going to remind you one more time, do NOT plop down on the furniture." "Sorry." Naomi looked around the room it room was simple and yet not simple. The walls were an off blue, and there were some wind chimes hanging from the ceiling. There were exquisite rugs all over the floor. There was an oak desk in the corner covered in papers. This place felt comfortable to Naomi but she couldn't figure out why. "It's not much, but it's home." Said Iris, "It's wonderful." Naomi said with amazement at the wonder of the room. "Yeah," said Iris as she plopped down next to Naomi who had sat down on the couch.
"Iris." Came Jessica's voice from the kitchen "I thought I asked you not to plop down on the furniture." "Sorry." Naomi giggled, and then said "You two act like sisters, actually more like mother and daughter." "How's that?" asked Jessica as she appeared with a tray with tea and some thing to eat on it. "Well, Jessica your like the mother. Because you keep trying to keep Iris from doing things she shouldn't. And Iris doesn't want to listen just like a daughter doesn't like to listen to her mother." "You have to admit she's got us there Jess." Said Iris, "Yes," Jessica replied "She's right because every time you go out on duty I can't help but worry about you like any parent would, but I guess that's the price I pay for having you live with me." Jessica passed the girls each a cup of tea and offered them some kind of cookie. Naomi took a bite of the cookie than said, "Wow, this is good. What are they?" "My own secret recipe I'm glad you like them. I used to get Iris's praise for them but she hardly has time to tell me." "I'm sorry." Said Iris, "It's okay, I'm just glad your okay. I would never forgive myself if you got hurt. You see, Naomi I can't have children when I was young I caught a disease called Val-Omega. For some reason if I try to have children they would probably die, just as soon as they were born and if they had lived they would have been born with the disease and also I've never been married. Besides Iris is the only child I can possibly handle right now." "Hey!" said Iris. Naomi couldn't help but laugh, "Naomi it's late why don't you stay the night we have a guest room, if you'd like." Said Jessica. "Yes, that would be fun." Replied Naomi still laughing.
"So what do you think of Jessica?" asked Iris later. Both girls except for Jessica were in the living room sitting on the floor, Iris in her pajamas and Naomi in a borrowed pair, with some popcorn watching a movie that Jessica had aloud Iris to rent. "She's awesome! How did you meet her?" said Naomi grabbing a handful of popcorn. "You know she actually saved my live once." "Really." Asked Naomi surprised, she then looked towards the computer room, which Jessica had disappeared to earlier. "How?"
"Well, I've never really told any one this but I trust you, at one time I did call her mother." She stopped and stared at the computer room door. "It was right after a battle with Sigma, there was a huge explosion. I was knocked unconscious and it cased me a temporary loss of memory. I had just removed my armor, when the explosion happened. So when Jessica found me I looked just like some teenager that had been at the wrong place at the wrong time. She brought me back here and tended my wounds. When I awoke I didn't remember anything. Then Jessica came in and I don't know why but I asked her, "Are you my mother?"
I think it surprised her that I asked her that. She then asked me my name, and I told her I couldn't remember. So I asked her if she was my mother again. This time she said yes and I called her mother. She taught me to cook and" "You cook?" cut in Naomi. "Yes, Jessica as you've tasted is an excellent cook, she can also sew. She taught me to sew as well and a few other skills. Then one day while she was making a deliver to the hunter Head Quarters for a friend I was with her and I happened to see Zero and he saw me. He rushed forward and hugged me so tight I thought I was going to suffocate. I finally was able to say, "Who are you? And why do I think I know you." Zero gave me a hurt look I've never seen on his face before than said "Iris it's me, Zero I thought you were destroyed by the explosion, but when we found your armor I realized that you must have just gotten hurt by the explosion. ""Maybe if you showed her around she would remember some thing." Jessica had said putting her hands on my shoulders.
"And who are you?" he had said threatening. "She's my mother." I had said pushing him back. "Only because I found you and that's what you started calling me. You friend here seems to know you at lest find out if you are this Iris person." Jessica said squeezing my shoulders reassuringly. "Okay." I said reluctantly. That's when Zero started showing me around, my memory began to slightly come back to me. All of a sudden an explosion rocked the building. It was Vile leading an attack on the head quarters suddenly I heard a scream it was Jessica. One of the mavericks had Jessica by the throat and was going to kill when without thinking I summoned my armor and blew up that maverick and fighting the mavericks again appeared to make me regain my memory the rest as they say is history."
The doorbell then rang; Jessica poked her head though the door "I ordered pizza girls hope you don't mind." She went to the door and got the pizza then turned and asked, "Who's hungry?" "We are!" both girls chimed. "Maybe I should let Iris have friends over more often, what do you think Naomi?" "So long as I'm welcome." Naomi replied biting into a slice of pizza. "Of course your all ways welcome. So don't be a stranger." Jessica replied. I have a feeling she needs to be welcome some place. She's so lonely, I feel it.
"Hello, I am Tango. Class warrior/companion type." Said the little green and yellow robotic cat. "Wow!" was all Naomi could say. "Would you like some tea?" asked Jessica putting Tango down and the cat disappeared as soon as her feet touched the floor. "Yes, thank you." Said Naomi. "Come on have a seat."
