Chapter 2: The Following Day
Bianca was washing the dishes from her breakfast when she heard the mail slot for her home be opened and closed. She dried her hands and got her mail. She sat down on her couch and she looked through her mail. She then came upon a letter from P.O.I.N.T. She opened it and was startled by a circular robot that came out and enlarged itself. It then showed a holographic image of the three heroes from yesterday. They said that they wanted her to come to P.O.I.N.T. that afternoon to speak about yesterday and that a hover shuttle will arrive for her to take her to P.O.I.N.T headquarters. It then projected two boxes with a 'Yes' above one and 'No' above the other. She thought for a moment before she shrugged and tapped the box under the 'Yes'. Once she did, a check-mark appeared in the box. The robot then made the image disappear and it flew out the window.
Meanwhile at P.O.I.N.T:
Doctor Greyman was levitating a punching bag for Foxtail while she was punching it. Laserblast was pacing around the room. The robot then came into the room and everyone stopped what they were doing. It then projected an image if the 'Yes' and 'No' boxes with a check mark under the 'Yes". "See, I told ya that she'd say yes" Foxtail said to Laserblast. A few moments later the door came open and Ice Queen stepped in. The three heroes were standing in front of the banner. "Hi there! Welcome to our headquarters" Greyman said waving at her excitedly. She giggled and waved back. "Hi." She said. She then cleared her throat and bowed. "Thank you for inviting me. It's a true honor to be here" She said. "Well than, what are you doing down there, come up here. We don't bite" Foxtail said. "Oh um r-right" Ice Queen Said nervously and she walked up the steps and onto the platform where the three heroes were. She then smiled nervously. Greyman then levitated some chairs and placed them behind everyone. "Have a seat. Go ahead, make yourself comfortable" Greyman said as he and the others sat down in the chairs. She then delicately sat down in her chair. Foxtail then pulled out a device and it showed the security video of Ice Queen defeating the group of thugs and also other footage of her defeating bad guys and helping others around town. "You've proven that you have what it takes to be a hero. How would you like to join us here at P.O.I.N.T?" Laserblast asked her.
Ice Queen looked at them in shock and uncertainty. "I'm not sure. The only reason why I'm a hero is to help others and protect the innocent. I didn't become a hero to be part of some team, or get recognition and awards and be one of those heroes who is more concerned about their public image and products then keeping others safe." She said seriously. The three heroes all looked at each other with a large smile on their faces. "Could I perhaps think about your most generous offer?" Ice Queen asked. "Of course, take however long you need. At least let me drive you home'' Laserblast said. Ice Queen nodded. "Thank you for inviting me here, it was really a true honor" she said. Laserblast then lead her out and towards the orange vehicle. Instead of going to the driver's door, he went over to the passenger's door and held it open and held out a hand. "After you" he said half jokingly. She giggled and took his hand. "Why thank you my kind sir" she replied as he helped her into the vehicle. As they drove off, Foxtail turned to Greyman. "I like her. She's got spunk" she said, to which Greyman nodded.
Laserblast and Ice Queen then arrived at her home. "Cute place" He said as he got out of the car and walked over to her side and opened the passenger door for her. "Thanks" she replied. Laserblast then held out his hand and helped her out of the car. He then walked with her to her front door. "Thanks for the lift and the invite." She said. "No problem" He replied. Ice Queen then pulled out her house key and unlocked the door. "Would you like to come in for some tea or something Laserblast?" She asked with a small blush. "As much as I'd love to, I can't. I have things to do back at headquarters. Maybe you could come by headquarters again tomorrow. I can give you the grand tour and then maybe we can get some pizza or something afterwards." He suggested. "I'd like that" she said with a small smile and a blush. "Cool. I'll see you tomorrow Icy" He said. She then looked down. "Bianca" she said. "What?" He asked. "My name" she said and then cleared her throat. "My name is Bianca. Just in case you wanted to, you know, um, call me that" She said a bit nervously. Laserblast smiled at her. "Bianca. It's a beautiful name." He said. "See you tomorrow?" He asked. "Definitely" She responded and walked into her home. Before she shut the door, she called his name. He looked at her in response. "Goodnight Laserblast" She said with a small smile. He smiled back. "Night, Bianca" he said. She then closed the door and he got into the car and drove back to P.O.I.N.T headquarters.
