The Call and Deputization

In Middleton, Jessica is at Command Center, telling Norman about her new teaching job. He congratulates her and grins, knowing she'd make a good teacher and crime-fighter at the rate she's going. Suddenly, the monitor comes on and Dr. Director's face is seen.

Jessica smiles and says, "Hey, there. How's it going, Dr. Director?"

She smiles right back and replies, "It's going okay, for the most part. Where are the Stoppables right now? We have an emergency in Detroit, Michigan."

Norman asks, "What's up, Doc? Kim and Ron are there right now, giving a friend a new face."

"Our Detroit asset has learned of a plan by the Sho-Da-Kah to take Cadillac Heights by force, today at four o'clock this afternoon. I just got his report as there is red tape all over the place. How soon can War Bird transport Street Hawk to Ron?"

Bonnie replies as she walks in, "About two hours flying time. But I'm ready to go once I'm suited up. Just need the orders to go into action, ma'am."

Dr. Director nods and says, "You now have your orders, Bonnie. Fly War Bird to Detroit and deliver Street Hawk to Ron's side. Jessica, I cannot, in good conscience, allow you to go out into the field so soon. When you've had more training with driving and marksmanship, I'll put you in the field. I promise you that. I'm sorry, Jessica. I truly am."

"It's all right, Dr. Director. I was just lucky in China. So I need more training. Perhaps then I'd be able to fill my Father's shoes, in one way or another." Dr. Director nods and the screen blanks off.

Jessica turns to Norman and asks, "How long would it take me to fully learn driving Sand Hawk? At least until Kim's off Maternity leave."

"Five months. Of course, Kim has the reputation as the 'girl who can do anything', including driving a fully-armored dune buggy under combat conditions. Some people, however, they gotta learn it." That has Jessica nodding and chuckling.

Norman goes on. "Jesse would agree with Dr. Director's opinion. You may be his daughter, but you have just jumped off the high dive into hero work. If you're not careful, you may wind up over your head."

Jessica grins and says, "Until that moment comes, I'll be training. In the meantime, let's load Street Hawk into the helicopter." Norman nods and opens the bay for the cycle.

As she walks to the cycle, she asks, "Lethal or non-lethal ordnance?"

"Better make it lethal. Given we're dealing with the Sho-Da-Kah on American soil again, we can't afford to lose an opportunity to stop them dead in their tracks. Emphasis on 'dead'. Your Father would want it that way."

"I concur. Those jerks need to die. Lethal measures, coming up."

Reaching the wall for the weapons cowls, she picks up the lethal configuration and takes the item to the cycle. Sliding it into place, she nods and wheels the cycle over to the helicopter.

While she does this, Norman is loading a crate of spare ammunition into the rear storage bin on the helicopter.Norman wraps the strap around the crate and lowers the hook from the winch.

When he gets the hook latched onto the ring, he hoists the crate into the storage bin and secures it when it's in place. He then closes the bin and returns to the console.

When Jessica gets the cycle there, she rolls it up into the rear of the helicopter. She then comes back down and gets Ron's gear from the rack. When it's on the bench inside the helicopter, she hits the door close switch and hops out. At that time, Bonnie's walking out, her barracuda smile in place.

"Are we fully loaded in the pods, Norman?"

"Affirmative, Bonnie. To save time in the flight, you may want to use the thrusters."

"Agreed. The sooner we shut them down, the better." At that, she puts her helmet on and adds, "Hirotaka's not feeling too good today. Could you please tell him I had to work, Norman?"

"You got it, Bonnie. The cycle's loaded up and you're clear for take-off. You also have a load of spare ordnance in the rear. Ammunition mostly."

"Roger that." At that, Bonnie climbs into the helicopter and powers it up while Norman opens the roof access. By the time the collective pitch is high enough, the roof is fully open.

Lifting up on the control, Bonnie lifts the helicopter off of the floor. Once she's clear of the roof, she ignites the thrusters, speeding off into the horizon.

As she clears the screens, Norman and Jessica can only hope she'd make it in time to deliver the cycle. As well as provide air/fire support for Ron and anyone else fighting the Sho-Da-Kah.

An hour and a half later, in Detroit, Nikko is programming ED-209 to defend the neighborhood against all hostile parties.

The punkish 'Realtors' had finally gotten the message soon as their friends had started dying. As she finishes the programming, she hears the sound of Police sirens.

She turns around and sees fifteen Interceptors, five Impalas and two Hummers heading their way, all moving Code 3. She goes inside to get Marie and the others outside.

Once they're outside, they see the Police vehicles spreading out into a diamond formation, with a Hummer in the lead.

When all vehicles had stopped, they see Robocop and all the Officers step out of the vehicles, carrying the bulky body armor vests on their shoulders while clad only in their jumpsuits.

The Officers with the Hummers open the tailgates on the vehicles and start bringing out Police-issue weaponry along with extra vests.

Nikko runs up and asks, "Won't your Officers need these vests more, Murphy?"

"Actually, we've got an upgrade in body armor. These vests are for those that wish to fight for their homes."

He then turns his P.A. on and says, "In two and a half hours, the goons with China Sun Incorporated and the Sho-Da-Kah are coming to throw you out of your homes. I want you to get your families, anyone that shouldn't be fighting and children down into the basement. The rest of you are hereby Deputized by the Detroit Police Department. It's time to show them how real cops kick ass."

Behind him, Sheila primes a Mossberg 500 'Persuader' shotgun and savagely grins.

At that, the denizens of Cadillac Heights proceed to arm and armor up. At the second armoring and arming site, Davis turns around and sees Luke donning a vest and picking up an AR-15 carbine.

"Luke Sagara, what in the world are you doing?"

Luke sighs and says, "When my cousin and his family died, they were helping the needy in Afghanistan. Those people were not much better off than this neighborhood. This is my way of remembering and honoring them. Besides, I served in the Military. Best I use the skills I have so they don't go to waste."

Touched, Davis asks, "What was your cousin's name?"

"His name was Sousuke Sagara, Elizabeth. He never had a chance. He was eight years old when he died. Cruel thing was, his body, as well as his parents, were never returned for burial."

"Do you think he may have survived? Or at least hope."

Luke sighs and says, "I don't really know off-hand, Liz. I really don't." Davis pats his hand and gives him a hopeful smile.

Suddenly, ED-209 powers up and says, "Unknown aircraft approaching. Rotary wing type. Armed with twin gatling cannons. Request clearance to engage."

Robocop says, "Hold off on that, ED-209. Let me see about something first." Switching to non-vocal communications, he asks, "War Bird, is that you?"

"Affirmative. I just got word from our Global Justice Liaison Officer. Where's Ron at?"

"He's at the house with Kim. How'd you find out about the situation here?"

"According to Dr. Director, GJ has an asset in place here. She didn't say who it was, nor did we ask. I'll get the cycle to Ron and come back with him."

"Roger that, Bonnie. Good to hear your voice again."

"Likewise, Commander. Likewise."

Switching back to vocal communications, he says, "ED-209, record transponder on aircraft as a friendly."

"Recording transponder as friendly. What is designation of friendly aircraft?"

"War Bird." Robocop allows himself a full blown smile and nods, knowing the odds on the home team just went up with members of the visiting team helping.

Suddenly, he hears another voice behind him. "Commander Murphy, we wish to assist our sister in defending her new hometown." Hego and the others are standing firm with Sheila, having had been briefed by her before she left the house for the Station.

"Hego, how did you find out?"

"I called them, Commander. They've been getting bored lately. So, I figured it was time for Team Go to work together, once again. Just for old time's sake. And this time, I'm on the right side of the Law."

"I too shall fight, Commander. I'm quite eager to kick some ass." Smuntz had seen the courage of the Officers along with the denizens and elected to participate in the battle.

Robocop sighs and replies, "I hope you're ready to end lives then. Because out here, it's kill or be killed. Especially when it comes to the enemy we're facing today."

At that, Team Go and Smuntz nod their agreement and proceed to the armoring and arming areas.

Sheila sighs and says, "Heaven help us if Hego decides to do his spiel about 'Go-operation'. If he does, I'm going to be really annoyed."

Robocop shrugs and asks, "What's the worst that can happen?"

"I don't think you want to know." At that, the two Officers leave it lie, at least until after the war is over. Big question for them is, will they survive it?
