Chapter 5:Doctor Greyman, The Matchmaker?
The next day, Greyman went to Laserblast and invited him to spar with him, to which he agreed. The two had just arrived at the training area. They both saw Bianca and Foxtail sparring. Foxtail swung her fist repeatedly at Bianca. Laserblast watched getting a tad bit worried that the strong woman would seriously injure the lo-new member of the team. He was then relieved to see her dodging every punch. Foxtail then started attempting to kick her. When she couldn't dodge, Bianca summoned a shield make of ice that Foxtail would kick instead of her. Seeing her new friend slowing her attacks, she froze the ground underneath the stronger woman and the summoned a pile of soft now for her to land on. This caught Foxtail off guard as she slipped and fell into the soft snow pile. "Great job there kid!"Foxtail praised. "Thanks, you were great yourself" Bianca said as she held a hand out. "Thanks" Foxtail said as she took her outstretched hand and Bianca helped her up. "You know, I've been meaning to try out a new function on the training simulator. Do you think you have enough juice left in you for a quick spar with Laserblast here Ice Queen?" Greyman asked. "Sure" She said. After they got into position, Doctor Greyman pushed a button and group of holographic bad guys came out.
Bianca and Laserblast then got into sparing stance. They then looked at each other and nodded. He shot out a laser from his visor at the same time that she put the bottom of the inside of her hands together and shot out a beam of ice. Suddenly, more bad guys came out of nowhere and started attacking them. "Hey Snowflake does it sound like I have a fever?" He asked her. "No why?" She asked. "Because you are giving me the chills". She just looked at him dumbfounded."Hey, it's snow joke Snowflake, or maybe I should start calling you Snowangel" He said as he blasted another bad guy. She smirked and blasted the rest of the bad guys with her ice. "You know Laser" She said and he looked over at her. "I may have powers of ice and snow but only you can make my heart melt" she said with a wink. She then surprised him by kissing his cheek. "You know angel, maybe we could go out sometime" He said. "What did you have in mind?" She asked "I was thinking. there's this place called 'The DangerZone'. But I don't know if a lady like yourself can handle it" He said, taunting her a bit. "I've heard of that place. What? Don't think I can handle a little danger? She said seductively while batting her eyelashes. "Besides, I'll have a big, stwong, man like you to pwotect me" She said with a baby-ish voice as she walked her fingers up his chest and tapping his nose. "You know it baby" he said with a wink and flexing his arms with a small laugh. They both then began laughing. "I'll pick you up at 6 tomorrow" He said when they both calmed down. "That sounds great" Bianca said "Great" Laserblast responded. He and Bianca kept looking at eachother lovingly while repeating sounds of conformation for their date. Foxtail and Greyman looked at each other smugly and high fived at the success of their plan. "They seem to be in their little world. Shall we bring them back to reality?" Greyman asked. Foxtail let out a laugh and nodded. Greyman held down a button. "Great job you two! Why don't you two go get cleaned up and then go patrolling?" Greyman said. "After you" Laserblast said holding out his arm. "Why thank you" Bianca responded putting a hand on her chest and doing a small curtsy before she walked off. Once she was out the door, Laserblast turned to Foxtail and Greyman.
"Thanks you two. I really appreciate what you are doing. From here on out, could you let me and Bi handle it?' Laserblast asked his friends. "Bi?" Foxtail asked smugly. "Look, could you two just let us take things from here?" Laserblast asked. The two then gave him a thumbs up. "Sure thing" Greyman said. "Now shoo, you reek of sweat and hormones" Foxtail said as she tried to shoo him out of the room. Laserblast laughed. "Are you sure you wouldn't rather have me stay? I thought you liked the smell of sweat and hormones" Laserblast joked. "Go!" Foxtail said with a laugh as she pushed Laserblast out the door. Once he was out the door, Foxtail turned to Greyman. "Phase 2?" Greyman asked excitedly. "Foxtail said. "I'll get Bianca ready, you go prepare Laser" she said. "You got it!" Greyman said with a thumbs up.
Later that day, Foxtail walked to the main lab. She pushed open the doors and saw Bianca working with some chemicals in test tubes and beakers. "Hey Bi. I hope I'm not interrupting anything" Foxtail said.
Looking up from what she was doing, Bianca noticed her friend. "Hey Foxtail" Bianca greeted her. "Anything I can help you with?" She asked. "I saw that you and 'The Living Laser' have a date coming up" she said. Bianca blushed "Yeah. Tomorrow night" she said. "Well then, we only have a few hours to get you ready" Foxtail said as she covered the chemicals. Bianca looked at her confused. "Our date is tomorrow night. I still have plenty of time" Bianca said. "Still" Foxtail started. She then took Bianca and threw her over her shoulders as if she were a sac of potatoes. "You still need to get ready. You are going out with him on your first date. Gotta get you looking nice" she said as she walked out the room with Bianca over her shoulder. "Foxtail, where are you taking me?" Bianca asked worriedly. "To get you ready of course" Foxtail said excitedly as she headed towards the garage.
Meanwhile, Greyman was watching Laserblast punch a punching bag that was hanging from the ceiling. "So, ya nervous champ?" Greyman asked. "Nervous? For what?" Laserblast asked. "Your date. Are you nervous?" Greyman asked. "Not really. Bianca is a (cool) person" Laserblast responded with a small laugh at the pun he made as he resumed punching the hanging punching bag.
Greyman then levitated the punching bag and moved it around for Laserblast to attack. "Any clue what your gonna wear?" The doctor asked his friend. Laserblast shrugged as he continued to attack the punching bag. Greyman then set the punching bag back on the hook on the ceiling and put a hand on Laserblast's shoulder. "Listen Laser. We have never seen you so infatuated by a girl before. Bianca is a good person and we know you will treat each other right. However, this is your first date with her and it should be something that you and her can look back on and remember fondly. It needs to be special" Greyman said seriously. Laserblast was silent as he though for a moment. "I have an idea. I know what I said before, but I might need your and Foxtail's help" He said. Greyman then smiled and nodded at his friend. "Anything you need Laser, we've got your back" he said reassuringly. "Thanks Doc" Laserblast said. "Now let's go get what you need for your big date" Greyman said as he put a hand on Laserblast's back and lead him out the door. "But first, take a shower or something. You reek" Greyman said. Laserblast laughed. "Sure thing Doc" Laserblast said.
(Meanwhile), Foxtail arrived at the garage and went to a smaller vehicle. "If your going to throw me in again, could you please be gentle?" Bianca asked. Foxtail chuckled and opened the passenger door and set her in the seat. "Thank you" Bianca said as she fastened her seatbelt. Foxtail got in the driver's seat and started the car. She then drove off and into town.
A while later they arrived at Bianca's house. "Is it cool if I park in your driveway since it's empty?" Foxtail asked. "Sure. I suppose. My bike is in the garage" Bianca said. Foxtail then pulled into the driveway and parked the vehicle. Bianca looked at Foxtail curiously as they both got out of the car. "So, what are we doing at my place exactly?" She asked as she unlocked and opened the front door. They both walked in and Foxtail went up the stairs. "Where's you room?" She asked. Bianca climbed the stairs and showed Foxtail her bedroom. She then found her closet and opened it. "Foxtail, what are you doing?" Bianca asked. Foxtail proceeded to ignore her while she looked through her closet. After a while of looking, she pulled out a few shirts and pants and laid them out on the bed. "Listen Bi, this is your first date with Laser. I just want this to be special for both of you" Foxtail said seriously. Bianca looked at her in surprise before her expression softened. She then hugged her friend. "Thank you Foxtail" She said. "No problem. Besides, when you two get married, I get dibs on being the maid of honor" she said. Bianca pulled away from the hug and they both laughed.
