On the boat, Marcy came to wake up the scientists but found Clio already awake with her head down, focusing on something. Walter was still asleep with Lovey on his head and a blanket that Clio wrapped around him. The doves were on top of her head and looking down at what she was doing
The woman slowly peeked at what Clio was doing and in fact, she was drawing a picture. 3 pictures and one thing that they had in common is that they all had Walter in it.
The First picture had him surrounded by pigeons in a tropical paradise. The second picture was of her and Walter based on the Hearts in Seoul poster. The third picture she was currently working on was of the young adults doing chemistry and the birds were surrounding them and the chemicals gave them a cloud of smoke with a heart forming around it.
"That's beautiful…" Marcy whispered. Clio turned to her with a slight startle.
"Thank you, Aunt Marcy...I just draw how I feel…" Clio whispered back.
"Can I talk to you...alone…" Marcy asked. Clio nodded and Marcy left the room. Clio just looked at the sleeping Walter. She bit her lip nervously at what she was about to do. She slowly leaned in and kissed him gently on the forehead, making the young man smile in his sleep. The girl blushed and then followed her aunt outside
"There's something important that we have to discuss…" Clio leaned in to listen. "How did you change James back to normal at the hotel…"
Clio slightly frowned at the question. "Well all I know is that I threw my chemo ball at his eyes and then when I had the knife towards myself, he somehow just snapped right out of it…" She said feebly.
"That doesn't make sense…"
"I know it doesn't but something in the chemicals made him get out of that trance...I don't know what it is either...I...There's something I need to ask you too…"
"What is it…"
"Why did you leave…"
"Excuse me…"
"Why did you leave when I was younger...We...We used to be very close...then you just left…" Marcy sighed sadly
"It's time I told you the truth...Let's just say your mother and I didn't get along too well...I was spending a lot of time with you when she worked...Even when she went on business trips...then I found out that she wasn't doing that...I got mad at her...Then She got jealous of how close we were...You were at least 5 when you said this to me...You're my real mommy…."
"I know that mom wasn't too attentive of me and neither was dad…" Clio mumbled
"Then we had an argument and she told me not to see you again...I was so heartbroken to leave you...then, later on, I found out that you got my number...You sly girl...then I heard about the accident on the news...I just…" Marcy was at the brink of tears just trying to finish her sentence. "Your my only family left...I lost you once...I don't want to lose you again…" Clio had tears running down her bespeckled eyes. All she could do was race to her aunt's arms for a hug.
"You know...I always thought it was my fault you left me…" Clio sniffled.
"What…"
"I sometimes thought that you got tired of me and then you left...I...I just thought it was my fault…" Marcy grabbed her arms and got her niece to face her
"Don't you dare blame this on yourself...none of this is your fault...Sometimes things happen that could change your life...I wish I could've seen your accomplishments…"
"Me too...You know we can be close again…" Marcy grinned slightly
"After the mission, kid…" Clio nodded
"Deal...I'll go work on that cure…" Clio walked away back to the room. When she got there she found Walter awake and glancing at the drawing she was doing
"Walter…" Clio mumbled. He turned to her a little startled.
"Clio...Did you...Did you draw these…" He asked her.
"Yes...well, I tend to draw how I feel and I... well….Do you like them-" before Clio could finish, Walter wrapped his arms around her. Clio gladly returned the hug and smiled warmly
"I love them…" the Clio remembered something
"I made something for Lovey too…" Clio raced to her notebook and took out a doodle of Lovey with a bunch of hearts around her. The pigeon trilled with joy and flew around the girl
"Do you like it Lovey?" Lovey rubbed herself against the young woman, making her giggle. Walter watched on with a grin. He felt himself becoming closer to Clio. He slowly walked over to her and took her hand. Clio glanced at him and a smile formed on her face.
"Ay, we about to arrive in Austria…" Lance peeked through the door.
Inside a van, Clio peeked out of the window with a look of wonder, with Marcy and Walter looking at her.
"First time in Austria…" Lance asked Clio
"First time really anywhere...When I thought of Austria I thought of the movie Sound of Music…"
Walter glanced at Clio who was staring out the window. His cheeks were pink from the pictures that she drew of the two of them together. Lance caught this and began to smile
"Somebody's in love…" Lance comments
As Walter began to stutter, Clio noticed something from the front window.
"Guys look" Clio pointed to a large black building up ahead of them.
"Okay...Time to put your game face on...that's the place where that chemical is going to be supplied...So watch your back anything can happen…" Lance instructed.
"For James…" Clio whispered to herself. Walter got out one of his inventions and turned Lance into a pigeon, confusing Clio
"Just go with it…" Lance told the confused girl before he took off flying. Then Walter gave Clio a red button.
"It's my inflatable hug...Only use it when you're in trouble…" Walter clamped onto her hand. Then Clio gave him her chemical balls
"Just remember to throw them on the ground to protect yourself and throw them at the eyes of the pink people…." Clio told him
"Okay…" Walter nodded his head.
"Alright, it's time to go...I got back up at every exit so everyone watch out and be careful...You two are staying with me…" Marcy directed her attention to Walter and Clio.
"I just hope Lance is okay…" Clio whimpered.
"He'll be okay Clio...You just gotta trust him" Marcy reassured her niece. When the team walked into the large building, Eye placed night vision in her glasses so she can watch out. Clio looked around for any trouble. Walter noticed her fear and took her hand in his, telling her that he's here.
"I just have a feeling that something's not right…" then at that moment, something grabbed Clio and the lights clicked on. Walter saw Lance inside a birdcage that one of the people was holding and the husband and wife were there, and the group was surrounded by citizens with pink eyes.
"We've been expecting you…" the man spoke in an icy tone
"Mr. and Ms. Burnswell…" Lance said inside the cage.
"I see one of you has cracked the code of our chemical…You young lady…" Mr. Burnswell inquired, looking at Clio.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about…"
"Now come closer…" Clio took small slow steps towards the middle of the circle.
"I...I just threw some chemicals in his eyes...I didn't do anything else…" Clio stammered.
The husband and wife looked at each other and nodded. The husband snapped his fingers and one of the people came with a knife to threaten to slit Walter's throat.
"Now we have a simple arrangement… you will create a new supply of our H2R57...We will in turn release them…"
"No...she will not do this…" Marcy declared.
Then the husband drew a gun and shot at Clio. She flinched a little thinking that he injured her but instead, she felt her hair falling down her back: he shot her scrunchie off.
"Now now wait a minute, what you want her for...she didn't do anything wrong...she's just a kid…" Lance asked the couple.
"She may be the key to making more-" Before the husband could finish, Clio took one of her chemo balls and threw it on the ground. The husband tried to shoot her but it deflected back and it hit his eye, blinding him.
Then Lance pecked at the man holding him in the cage and Walter threw the tie at him, turning him back into a man. Backup came around with a bunch of Walter's weapons. Walter handed Clio and the others the weapons and the battle began.
Eyes and ears used a sound deficient weapon to fend off the zombified people while Marcy and lance fended off Mr. and Ms. Burnswell. Clio threw most of the chemicals She made at the people's eyes and then turned to see the supply of the chemicals and ran towards the cart holding it, and began to roll away with it
"After her…" Mr. Burnswell yelled. A few people went after Clio.
"CLIO NO…" Walter yelled.
Clio saw that the people were after her. She turned to find that she was about to hit a wall up ahead and began to turn.
"It's gonna be a maze…" Clio thought.
The group chased the girl throughout the darkened maze with Clio ducking and dodging every wall and obstacle that hit her.
Then she hit a dead end when there was a ravine. She luckily stopped and the people stopped.
"Stay back...I'm begging you…" Clio had her chemical balls ready from her mobile lab on her back and she threw them at the three people's eyes and she quickly dropped the chemical supply down the ravine.
Then the three people then rubbed their eyes.
"Where are we…" a woman asked.
"No time to explain...You need to get out of here now...Follow me…" the young woman led them away from the ravine and back inside.
Half of the people inside the building lost control of the chemical inside them and then they escaped. Then the husband and wife team then snap their fingers.
Then a sound from up above came, alerting Lance and Marcy.
"Uh oh…" Lance spoke out loud. Then a helicopter burst its way in, the driver had pink eyes. Walter and Clio went after the couple and Lance called all of the pigeons and they all flew inside the building, making a bird tornado around the couple. Walter and Clio placed something on the couple while they raced away while the helicopter flew away with the husband and wife and a large rectangular box. The quartet raced off into a van and drove away from the scene
"That was epic...Did you see how I threw those chemicals at them?" Clio excitedly said
"Yeah...It was like...NO and like AAh and a bit of poof poof, Woah…" Walter replied.
"They still got away with the supplies…" Lance said solemnly.
"Not exactly...During that chase...Half of the supplies are gone...I threw them in the ravine" Clio declared.
"You did what?!" Lance and Marcy said together
"Half of the supplies are gone…" Clio repeated
"And during the whole bird nado...I put a tracker on them...and Clio placed the camera on them"
Then a satellite was in the van and then Marcy pointed.
"There...that's Mr. and Ms. Burnswell…" Marcy said
"Uh-huh…" Clio said.
"YES...Atta girl….Nice job you two…" Marcy told the two young scientists.
"Yeah That's our peeps…" then suddenly Marcy and Lance grabbed hands. They looked at each other for a second but they smiled, not minding it one bit. Clio and Walter grabbed hands and smiled too.
"Ooh…" Eyes interrupted.
"I guess a Lil' love is in the air" Ears added
Then Clio and Walter looked at each other and tried to kiss again but Lovey and the pigeons flew in and so did Princess and Prince.
"You guys are okay…" Clio whispered. The two doves trilled and Clio smiled, nuzzling herself against them
The others had some relaxation while they were on their way to stop the couple.
