Chapter 4: Welcome to the Team
Back at P.O.I.N.T HQ:
The group all walked in with arms around each other, gleefully talking about the fight they just did. "Great job everyone!" Foxtail praised. "Oh man, that slide was a genius idea Ice Queen. If it weren't for you, I would have been toast" Foxtail said. Bianca rubbed her arm sheepishly."Thanks, but it wasn't just was Laserblast's laser that made it easy for you to slide" she responded. "You know, you two make a great team!" Greyman said as he used his powers to levitate Laserblast over to Bianca. he then put him down next to her. "All of us are amazing together. We all make a great team" Foxtail said. Laserblast cleared his throat. "I think what they are trying to say is, do you wanna join us and be a member of P.O.I.N.T?" He asked. All three of them looked at her in anticipation. "Seeing as how you don't want to be in that much spotlight, you could be an on call member if you want" Greyman suggested. :You could be like our secret weapon! What do you say? This way you can still fight with us and not be that much in the spotlight" Foxtail said. Bianca looked at all three heroes. Her gaze stayed on Laserblast. "I'd love to" she said. Next thing she knew, Laserblast enveloped in a large hug, followed by Foxtail and Greyman. "Oh, before we forget" Greyman said. He then levitated himself out of the hug and out of the room. They all broke away from the hug. Greyman came back moments later with a badge and gum. "Laser, do you wanna do the honors?" Foxtail asked. Laserblast nodded and took the badge and gum. He then cleared this throat again.
"It is my honor and distinct pleasure on behalf of P.O.I.N.T, to welcome you to the team. Your strategies to keep other's safe while facing danger are unparalleled and your crime fighting portfolio is outstanding. Your skills and mind will be a great asset to this team. We can't wait to see what else you can do. Here's your badge and gum." He said. He then handed her a pack of gum and her badge. She gently took it from his hands. "Spearmint! My favorite. Thank you" She said. "Come on kid, how about a speech?" Greyman suggested. "Oh, um" Bianca started. Foxtail then began chanting 'Speech'. Greyman and Laserblast then followed soon after. "Alright" she said. The three heroes then stopped chanting. She then went onto the platform and went behind the column podium. "Let me start by saying thank you all of you. It is truly an honor to be among such amazing and gifted heroes. I hope I can be a useful member of the team. I hope we can all achieve greatness together" She said. It was quiet for a moment. The three heroes then began clapping.
The next day, Laserblast was walking through P.O.I.N.T when he heard a small explosion. He ran towards the explosion. He saw some smoke coming out of one of the lab's doors. He then heard what sounded like Bianca coughing. He quickly lasered the door and kicked it open. "Bianca!Where are you?! You okay?! Answer me!" He hollered. What surprised him was the sound of her laughing. He went towards the noise and saw her hunched over a table laughing. He looked around and saw Doctor Greyman. His face was covered in some purple substance. Laserblast then began laughing a bit himself "Hey Laserblast." He greeted the hero. "What's so funny" He asked. Laserblast then grabbed a nearby glass beaker and held it in front of Greyman. Greyman then touched his face and began laughing. "I must look like a walking purple crayon with eyes" He said as he was laughing.
Once they all calmed down Greyman turned to Bianca. "Would you mind getting me something to wipe this off?" he asked. Bianca nodded and left the room. After she left, Greyman looked out where she exited to see if she was gone. He then looked at Laserblast smugly, who was leaning his back against a nearby table. Noticing his gaze, Laserblast looked over at him. "Something wrong Doc?" He asked. "We all know" He said. Laserblast looked at him in confusion. "Know what?" he asked. "About you and Ice Queen. We can all see how you two look and react to each other. We're not blind. You two clearly like each other. And not in the way you would like a friend. More like how lovers look at each other" he responded. Laserblast was silent. Before he could respond, Bianca walked in with a few towels and a new fedora and scarf. She then handed one to Greyman. "Here you go Doc" She said. "Thank you my dear" He said. He then began wiping the substance off. Bianca then began helping him by getting his back and taking his dirtied hat and scarf and placed them down on the ground. Laserblast then smiled at her kindness. Doctor Greyman noticed his reaction and looked at him smugly. This caused Laserblast to look away with a small blush on his face. After Greyman was back to his original color, he turned to bianca. "Why don't you go spar with Foxtail while I clean up here and talk with Laserblast" he said. "Sure. But are you sure you don't mind?" she asked. "Positive. now go" He said and shooed her out the door. "See? What did I tell you. you two clearly like each other, why not ask her out?" Greyman asked. "You think she'd say yes? I'm not even sure if she even likes me like that" Laserblast responded. "Hmm" Greyman said as he thought. "I got an idea! Just leave everything to me" He said excitedly as he left the room. "Umm... Okay?" Laserblast said
