Hello again, lovely people! Keep those reviews coming 'cause I love them a lot! Okay, let's continue the story!
"When did the nickname Hannah come about?" Indigo groaned the instant she recognized the voice. It was lunchtime and they only had a hour so she felt as if Officer Wilson was wasting it.
"I don't believe," Indigo started, "I told you how much I hated these meetings." Officer Wilson walked around the table and took the chair opposite from her.
"Well, you did say that you were going to answer my questions so that's your fault." Indigo gave an annoyed sigh.
"There isn't a long story about my nickname. When my brother started learning how to talk, he couldn't say my whole name so he just said Hannah and it kind of stuck."
"Why not Anna or something like that?" Indigo shrugged.
"I don't know. It just happened like that."
"Now, I remember you tellng me a few days ago that you had an IQ of 181," Wilson said, "Now, is that official or is it made up or...?" Indigo chuckled.
"No, unlike most villains who claim to be geniuses, I've actually been tested as one."
"Really? When?"
"One time when I was three and the other time after I finished my masters."
"Wait, you have a masters?" Wilson asked in shock.
"Yeah, Masters in Chemistry and a minor in engineering."
"But you're only 18!"
"Yeah, I finished school when I was 12," Indigo said in an unaffected tone.
"Unbelievable, what did you test when you were three?"
"I believe I had the IQ of 156 when I was three. My brother tested as well and scored a 160."
"Good for him," Wilson said.
"But he has a 179 now," Indigo said smugly. Wilson sighed.
"How did your parents know to get you and your brother tested?"
"My mother told us that she always knew we acted a bit odd for our age while my dad brushed it off as normal. My mom, who has a degree in childhood development, noticed that we were doing things a bit early but she wasn't sure until after her postpartum checkup..."
"Ms. Godwyn, you look tired." The exhausted Shego looked over to her gynecologist and her eyes narrowed.
"Thank you for stating the obvious, Doc," she sneered then immediately yawned. Dr. Manson smiled.
"Well, it's perfectly normal to be tired, especially with your hands full with twins." Shego nodded and yawned again. "How are they?"
"Just peachy."
"How's the girl? Annabella? Is she having any problems?" Shego laughed.
"You were right about her lungs being strong. She uses them a lot when she cries."
"That's normal as well," Dr. Manson chuckled, "That's good. How are reaching their milestones?"
"Faster than normal. Both the twins are trying to talk and responding their environment faster than a six month old."
"Huh," Dr. Manson said dumbfounded, "Well, they're only 6 weeks so I would jump to any conclusions yet. I suggest you track their progress to see how fast their developing."
"And she did just that," Indigo narrated, "I was beginning to talk at around three months and although I wasn't physically ready to walk, I was trying at 4 months. I was having full on conversations by my first birthday."
"You weren't test 'til you were three, though. What took them so long?"
"They wanted to help us develop at our pace so they did but we weren't walking until we were one and a half."
"I doubt you started walking. I bet you skipped from crawling to running."
"You would be correct then," Indigo said with a smile, "I was not one for walking as a toddler."
"Right," Wilson drawled. Indigo nodded.
"Anyway, they also waited 'til we were about three was because that is almost preschool age which would have determined if we would skip a lot of grades. When they found out we were geniuses, we were homeschooled at a middle school level."
"But you still managed to scare off teachers?"
"Precisely," Indigo said. They sat silently for while as Indigo ate her food before Officer Wilson remembered something.
"Oh, yeah. That one boy you were with when you were arrested. What was his name...?"
"Does it matter?" Indigo said annoyed.
"Oh, well, anyway," Wilson continued, "He had his trial the other day and was found innocent."
"Good for him," Indigo said sarcastically, "Maybe he can bring my bail money."
"The boy is only about 12 and has a miniscule track record. How is he associated with you?"
"Believe it or not, he was my gift for my 16th birthday," then Indigo laughed at Officer Wilson's shocked expression, "Not like a slave but as my apprentice. On my birthday, I was foiled in one of my evil plots..."
"Wait, you had evil plots?"
"Interrupting!" Indigo yelled, "Anyway, I was foiled and I came home..." A younger Indigo stormed into the lair, fuming with anger.
"Defeated by that damn brat again!" She screamed, slamming her fist into the wall. "I am a fucking genius, why is it so damn hard to kill him?!" She threw herself onto the living room couch and screamed into a pillow. Dante just so happened to walk by and saw this then he rolled his eyes.
"Dad," Dante called, "Hannah's having a tantrum right now. This probably isn't the best time." Drakken came from behind Dante.
"Nonsense!" Drakken said, ignoring his son's warning. "Hannah, dear, I have a surprise for you." The pillow that Indigo had suddenly burst into flame then was incinerated. Then she looked over to her father.
"What?" She asked annoyed. Drakken swallowed in fear, know that he could be the next thing she would incinerate. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
"I-I-I have a surprise for you, dear." Then Drakken snapped his fingers and a line of men and women, tall, short, big, little, all sorts of variety, marched in and stopped in a row in front of Indigo.
"Dad, what is this?" Indigo asked confused.
"It's your birthday gift! Happy birthday!" Drakken said happily.
"Oh yeah, that does happen," Indigo mumbled, forgetting that today was her birthday, "But why are these..." Indigo scanned the row of people and scoffed, "...pathetic excuses of humans here?" Drakken laughed nervously.
"Well, due to your interest in villainy, I thought that, for your 16th birthday, you can have your first sidekick!"
"Sidekick?" Indigo said, "No offence, Dad, actually, all offence, what can these people do that I can't do on my own?"
"I don't know. Why don't you ask?" Indigo tapped her chin in thought then she pointed out the biggest man there.
"You, sir!" She called, getting his attention, "You look like you don't have much going on upstairs. What services can you provide me?"
"Well," the large man started, "I can be a bodyguard."
"Right, but I don't need a bodyguard." Indigo said, crossing her arms, "You see, I can take 6 of you and still have energy to spare. I have both brain and brawn and I don't need anymore brawn." Indigo rose her hand in the air and snapped her fingers, "Dismissed." The large man immediately left the room. Indigo smirked then turned back to the other people. "I don't care about how strong you are or how smart you think you are. Give me something to work with!"
"Well, I can fly." Indigo's vision instantly snapped to the person speaking. She was then shocked by the fact that their was a little red-headed boy wearing a book bag speaking.
"Dad, why is there a little kid here?" Drakken immediately.
"I'm not a little kid!" The boy said defiantly.
"Oh really?" Indigo asked with a raised eyebrow, "How old are you, kid?"
"I'm ten years old!"
"Ugh, not even middle school age," Indigo rolled her eyes. "Stop wasting my time, kid. Go back home to your mommy and daddy." The boy clenched his fists.
"But I can fly!"
"Yeah, and pigs can too," Indigo said sarcastically. She was getting real tired with this kid. Then she heard the kid growl. Aw, the little wittle kid is getting very mad...Indigo thought to herself. Then suddenly a pair of wings and a tail shot from the book bag the boy was wearing, grabbed the handles attached, and started circling around the room like a vulture. Everyone in the room followed the boy's movements as he swoop and dove and glided around the room. When the boy landed, the wings and tail retracted back in the book bag then he looked over to Indigo.
"Who can't fly now?" The boy said.
"You got guts for talking to me like that when I could easily break you," Indigo said, "What exactly can this 'flying' do for me, though?"
"It's a cheaper escape vehicle, easy to repair, and the backpack doubles as storage. Beside you'll have a one month free trial!"
"Free trial?"
"Well, that's for me. You can use me as a sidekick for month for free."
"Wait, I have to pay you?" Indigo asked confused, then she turned to Drakken.
"Yes, you have to pay your sidekick," Drakken explained, "I paid your mother a lot when she was my sidekick. I'm still kind of paying her today..." Indigo's hand went up to stop whatever her dad was about to say.
"Let's not dive into those details, please?" Indigo said then she turned the boy.
"What's your name, kid?" The boy hesitated a bit.
"Um, Avian."
"Avian? Like a bird?" Avian nodded. "Okay, Bird Boy, I'll take you up on your free trial but if you piss me off, I'll be the one flying circles around you. Is that clear?"
"Crystal." Then Indigo turned to Dante, who's been listening quietly to the whole ordeal.
"Dante, can you be a dear and take Avian on a tour of the lair?"
"Why?" Dante asked, "He's your sidekick." Indigo's eyes narrowed.
"My dear big brother," Indigo said with false sweetness, "Do I really have to ask you again?" Dante rolled his eyes.
"You are such a bully but fine! I'll take him on a tour," Dante gestured for Avian to follow him out of the room. When they left, Drakken walked a bit closer to Indigo.
"Hannah?"
"Yes, Dad?" Indigo said, turning around to face her father.
"Um, why did you pick that kid? I was kind of hoping that you would one of the, uh..."
"Female sidekicks?" Indigo asked with a raised eyebrow. When he nodded, Indigo rolled her eyes. "Dad, if you wanted me to pick a female sidekick, you should've only gave me a choice between female sidekicks."
"Well, I'm only trying to protect you from some people in this world."
"Dad, he's only ten."
"Yes, I know but who knows! Maybe in a few years, you might start to feel something for him then you later find out that he feels the same way about you but only after you manage to save the world and get all the fame then you reveal your feelings to each other then a year later, you find out that you're pregnant with his twins child after you hid it from him 'til birth-"
"Dad! Dad!" Indigo interrupted his rant, "You're retelling your life story."
"Oh. Well, but still! It could happen!"
"Yes, I know, it did with you and Mom."
"I just want you to be careful."
"Dad, unlike you, I won't fall in love with my sidekick and rob the cradle."
"Excuse me!" Drakken said, offended, "If I didn't 'rob the cradle', you wouldn't be here!"
"The point is, Dad," she interrupted again, "He's ten. It won't happen. Just don't worry about me."
"I'm just trying to look out for you, dear."
"Dad, love is a feeling that will never come to my soul because I am condemned not to have it. You won't have to look out for me."
"And so, I had my sidekick, Avian!" The present Indigo said with a smile.
"I'm assuming that he's permanently your sidekick?" Officer Wilson asked.
"Doy," Indigo said, "Unless, of course, he pisses me off."
"What did your brother get as his birthday present?" Indigo tapped her chin in thought.
"Honestly, I don't know. I don't even think he got a present." Officer Wilson nodded. Then both of them noticed that prison guards were ushering inmates out of the cafeteria. "Well, it looks like lunch is over and so ends our chat. Let's try to have less of these in the future?" Indigo said before she left the cafeteria. Officer Wilson sighed.
"That girl has some issues..." She said before leaving the cafeteria.
What do you guys think? Am I confusing anyone yet? Does anybody have a question for Miss Lipsky? Anyway, as always, read and review and I will see you next time!
