Chapter 4- the unveiling
"So, you think she's finished it yet?" Piper asked casually
"I don't know, but she still hasn't changed into the uniform yet" Aerrow frowned.
"Actually...she has, you haven't seen her yet with it on" Stork spoke up.
"I went down to see how she was doing before... she had those other clothes on..." Aerrow replied confused
"She probably didn't want them to get dirty, or felt more active in her other clothes," Piper defended her newest friend... who was a GIRL for once. Then a voice startled them all
"She's ready to show you now," It stated and they looked all around for the voice "down here!" it exclaimed and they looked down to see a small robot grinning at them then it ran off back to the skimmer-bay.
"What... was that?" Finn asked slightly scared
"It appeared to be, Herons little...mechanoid... thing" Stork replied
"I dunno; it looked more like a robot to me Stork." Junko frowned not getting that; that was exactly what Mechanoid meant.
"That's what I meant Junko," Stork sighed then put the Condor in its hammock under a small cliff-like thing, then walked off to the skimmer-bay.
"Well then, the robot called, let's go have a look." Aerrow grinned and was almost swiped off his feet when the little pup and Radarr ran between his legs, it was lucky Junko caught him. Piper and Finn laughed then walked ahead of them and saw Heron standing in front of a sheet covered...something; grinning like a maniac with Stork behind her.
"So, what's this thing you built from Dark Aces skimmer... and the spare parts around?" Piper asked
"I'll show you when Aerrow and Junko arrive." She smiled and as if right on cue, they arrived.
"Also... what was that little robot thing you sent to get us?" Finn asked
"Oh, that was my lil B5 robot; I made him a few months ago. He helps me a lot." She grinned
"Wait, you can remember that, but you can't remember where you came from?" Aerrow asked frowning
"Exactly," She shrugged and turned around, she grasped the sheet then grinned "ready?" she asked
"Yeah!" they all answered in unison as Radarr and Bryn barked and made weird funny noises.
"Ok then." She beamed and pulled the sheet away as they all stared
"You... made that?" Aerrow asked
"Uh huh... I know it's not that good but I specialize in robots and wiring... not putting things together..." she sighed
"No, it's amazing!" Piper grinned. What she'd built was a switchblade/skimmer, the paint job had more of an Interceptor colour but held a blue tint, the symbol on the wing clearly let EVERYONE know which team she was a part of, the bike itself was very well built and looked brand new, considering she used a lot of old parts to put it together...
"Really?" she asked "eh... Stork could do better." She shrugged and he frowned
"How do you know that?" he asked
"I saw photos and stuff on some walls, and Piper let me read her mission log, apparently you beat a Rex Guardian in making a skimmer thing in less than ten seconds." She grinned
"Well...yeah..." Stork replied sheepishly; although he was still unsure about her since she gave him a weird feeling... also because she gave him a small sneezing fit a few hours prior.
"This is... awesome." Finn grinned
"Thanks, if you push that button there, a small gun like thing fires out small crystal energy bolts." She beamed
"How did you do this on your own?" Aerrow asked confused
"Well, I've always been good at mechanics and inventing things... just never putting them together, until I made my lil B5 here." She smiled and opened her palm to show a little waving green robot with a cheeky expression on its face.
"Aww that's adorable," Piper smiled
"He gets bigger." Heron smirked and pushed a very small button on its back making it turn bigger into a more battle-like version, but it only came up to her hip "I made him just like the original Brainiac 5, only smaller." She shrugged
"Who's Brainiac 5?" Junko asked
"Oh... you don't know do you... hmm, he's, if I can remember correctly... he's an Android from the 31st century, also known as Brainy, he's part of a Superhero team." She grinned and Bryn trotted over to her with a black book in his mouth. "My Art book!" she yelped and took it from him gently. She opened it to see all her drawings and designs were in perfect condition... except the front one which unfortunately had been drooled on, luckily, it was only a small doodle of some random bunny eating a carrot. Heron put B5 on the switch-skimmer (hehe) letting him finish off a few minor things inside and got to work looking through the pieces of paper.
"You're good." Piper smiled
"Thanks, I've seen better though." She shrugged and finally came to one she seemed to have taken a long time to do, "Hey B5!" she called and a little head popped up from a small compartment "lookie." She grinned and his optics went wide and grinned
"Yay you drew water girl again!" he grinned (not your typical Brainiac 5... is he? XD)
"Water girl?" Stork asked confused
"She's a human/fish, a thing I made up... actually I made up the entire race... imagination rules." She grinned
"Half human half fish?" Aerrow asked then she showed him the picture "wow, any pictures on her...fish like form?" he asked interestedly and she smiled
"Uh huh." And she ran off to find her bag. She found it in a small cupboard then brought it back down to the Skimmer-bay. She dropped it to the floor and shuffled through it until she grinned and brought out a small black device. She pressed a few buttons and a picture came up with a fish girl looking angry with an energy ball of some type spinning round in her hand.
"What's she doing?" Junko asked confused
"Oh, it's an element ball, all elements congregate into one sphere and obliterate anything in its path, really cool actually." She beamed and everyone jumped when the phone started playing some random music "wow... I still got music on here!" she grinned and shuffled through the bag again "oh I know I had them in here!" she growled "AH HA!" she cheered and brought out a wire of some kind, she plugged it into the black device and the music started to come out of the end of the wires only... quieter.
"What's that?" Piper asked
"Your salvation from Finns music," she grinned having heard a loud argument over whose music was better.
"How?" she asked and Heron put the wire ends in Pipers ears allowing the music flow through into her ears as she grinned
"Cool," she spoke
"What is that?" Aerrow asked raising an eyebrow
"Heh, they're called earphones, and the device is a mobile phone... it allows me to talk to people who are a long way away, and listen to music," she explained "I wouldn't suggest trying to talk to her at the moment though," she sighed
"Why?" Junko asked confused
"She can't hear you," she shrugged as Piper took the earphones out.
"Where did you get these from?" she asked
"Probably the same place I came from... I don't remember," she sighed, she was really starting to dis-like lying to them; they'd treated her like family... except Stork whom she noticed was quite withdrawn from everything.
"So what exactly do you remember?" Aerrow asked casually
"My name... my gadgets... my technology skills...and how to fight with or without a weapon," she shrugged "oh and how to draw," she grinned
"Challenge... draw stork," Finn grinned and she frowned
"One sec," she grinned and sat down on her switch/skimmer and took out her pencil case and took a blank piece of paper from her art book and began sketching as he tilted his head in slight confusion as to why she agreed to draw him. A few minutes later she began colouring with multiple shades of green, pale yellow, black, brown, grey and blue. Her eyes shifted from the paper to him multiple times as she sketched. Piper grinned as she noticed in each look a small smile graced her features, "done," she smiled and gave the paper to Stork whom took it uncertainly thinking it was going to explode or something... he looked at it and actually smiled,
"Wow, it looks just like him," Piper grinned as she handed the phone back over to Heron.
"Thank you," she smiled and looked to Stork who nodded in appraisal at her, thankfully she was furry and brown... so nobody saw her slight blush. "You can keep it," she smiled at him
"Thanks," he smiled "but I've got to get back to the bridge," he spoke and walked off with paper in hand. When the guys had gone, Heron started making a few adjustments to the bike
"So..." Piper grinned "like Stork?" she asked and Heron banged her head against the metal out of shock
"Ow..." she mumbled then got out from under the bike "what makes you make that assumption?" she asked
"Well one, you haven't tried to scare him yet, two every time you look at him you smile, you drew him, and you compliment him, it's obvious," she shrugged
"Erm..." she gulped
"S'ok I won't tell him," she winked and Heron smiled
"I do... just, i'm not that good at the whole... relationship thing..." she blushed
"I doubt he's any better," Piper grinned "go see what you can gather about him... without letting him onto anything, just have a chat while the Condor's still in it's hammock," she smirked, "but change into your other clothes,"
"Oki diddily doki," Heron giggled then ran off with her pup and the little robot following her, then she poked her head back round the door "just for the record... I also think Aerrow's gorgeous too" she giggled then scat to her room.
"She's a strange one that girl," Piper smiled then walked to the bridge.
