Chapter 26: Suspicions
The next day, Laserblast was heading towards the teacher's lounge for his lunch break while his students were at lunch. When he walked in her saw Chip Damage talking to Bianca. Chip had his back to Bianca and he looked like he was making a point to her about something. Bianca rolled her eyes. "And that's why" Chip started before Bianca interrupted him by running up to Laserblast and giving him a hug. "Everything alright?" Laserblast asked as he hugged her back. "Of course! We were just having a riveting discussion about the nutritious fuel that keeps you going through the day" Chip said. Bianca deadpanned and held up a small bag of 'Double Dip Laser Chips'. "I was just opening this for Greyman to have with his lunch when Chip recommended his 'Chocolate Chip Damage Candy Bar' instead" Bianca explained as she finished preparing Doctor Greyman's lunch. "I'll be off then. I need to give Greyman his lunch before Sunshine and I meet up for lunch" she said after she kissed Laserblast's cheek before she left the room.
"She sure is something, isn't she?" Laserblast commented once Bianca left the room while looking at Chip to see his reaction. "Indeed" Chip said with a large smile. "It's a good thing I married her" Laserblast said as we walked over to the coffee machine and poured some of the dark liquid into his mug and walked off. Later that day, Laserblast was going to get Bianca from her office. He was surprised to hear her yelling and he felt the air getting colder by the minute.
"For the last time Chip, I don't want any of your candy bars!" He heard Bianca yelling. Laserblast raced to Bianca's office. When he got there, he saw Chip with some boxes of his 'Chocolate Chip Damage' candy bars. "Come on Bi" he said, trying to get her to take some of the candy bars. The room suddenly got colder. "It's Bianca! I said no!" she boomed as her eyes glowed light blue as a large blast of ice was released. She then turned away and went back to her work, while ignoring Chip as he continued to pester her about taking some of his candy bars. "No wonder why they call you Ice Queen"Chip commented as Laserblast walked in and walked over to Bianca's side. "She only allows people she likes to call her Bi and she clearly must not like you" Laserblast stated.
He then walked over to Chip and started to usher him out. "Besides, she prefers 'Double Dip Lazer Chips' to your candy bars" Laserblast commented while putting more emphasis on 'Lazer'. With one light push, Chip was out of Bianca's office. "Now to take care of the room before Foxtail notices" he said under his breath. He then walked back to Bianca and lightly kissed her cheek. The room started to go back to it's normal temperature and the ice was slowly defrosting. "You about ready to go?" he asked softly. Bianca nodded and organized all her papers and stood up. Laserblast took her hand and they walked out. "What do you say we head to the cafeteria for something to eat?" Laserblast commented. Bianca nodded happily and the couple made their way to the cafeteria. When they got there, they saw Miss Sunshine running towards them. She then gave Bianca a large hug and ushered them to an unoccupied table. The two girls then began whispering excitedly to each other. Bianca then began to shush her as they both occasionally looked at Laserblast. "Everything okay?" he asked curiously. "No" the two girls responded quickly. "Okay then. I'm gonna go get the food. Sunshine do you want anything?" he asked as he stood up from his seat. Sunshine shook her head and Laserblast walked over to order his and Bianca's food.
"Why haven't you told him yet? I'm sure he'd be ecstatic" Sunshine said once Laserblast was out of hearing distance. "I wanna tell him when the time is right. So far you're the only one who knows" Bianca said. "So when are you going to tell him?" Sunshine asked her. Bianca shrugged. "I'm not sure when, or even how! This is big news and I want to make it memorable. I don't just want to out right tell him. I wanna do something special. You know?" Bianca explained. Sunshine nodded her head. "You know that you'll have to tell him eventually before it becomes obvious" she said. Bianca nodded her head. Unknown to them, a figure lurched in the shadows listening to them. The figure smiled and walked towards Laserblast.
"Hey Chip" Laserblast greeted the hero. "Greetings Laserblast. I assume things with you and Bianca are well?" Chip asked the fellow hero. "We're fine. Why do you ask?" Laserblast asked cautiously. "It's just, I heard Bianca talking to Sunshine. You sure everything is okay?" Chip asked. "Well, they were acting odd. They were whispering to each other when we got here. They kept looking at me and when I asked if everything was okay they both answered rather quickly" Laserblast responded. "Hmmm, that is quite suspicious if you ask me" Chip said. "Bianca would never keep anything from me. We both vowed to be honest with each other no matter what" Laserblast declared, getting a bit louder in anger. Chip raised both hands in front of him. "I'm just telling you what I saw and heard. As your new adversary and friend I want to be honest with you and help you in any way I can" Chip said. Laserblast sighed. "Thanks Chip. I'm sure it's nothing though" he said. He then proceeded to order his and Bianca's food. He then grabbed the food and paid for it. Chip was quick to order his food and pay for it once it was done. "I'm just saying, Bianca just might be hiding something from you and from the way I saw her acting, it must be big and very important" Chip warned. "Thanks Chip. I'm sure Bianca will tell me what it is in due time. I trust her and I know that she would tell me if something was wrong" Laserblast said as he walked back to the table where the two females were still talking.
