I do not own Godzilla.
I have loyal reviewers! And they like me!
Mark- Thank you for the great info. I'll see if I can do a side story once I get some free time. (Though if Gojira and Godzilla meet, I don't think they would really fight. A bit of top-dogging yes, but not a real fight.)
L- Terribly sorry about that, the only dynamite I've ever seen was in a box.
Dolphinology- it's great to know someone besides my sister likes that idea. I think that's what I'll do.
Marina- Oh don't worry, Siseir is here to stay. I like suspense, but hate tragedy, and I'd never do that to Godzilla. You are welcome and thank you.
Thanks to all of you, and I'll try to hurry with this one!
Randy was yawning out on the beach; two weeks of encrypting HEAT's database was enough to drain any computer genius. At least now it would take even Philippe a few years to find any way in without permission. Nick and Elsie had finally gotten done with the report on exactly what that huge snapdragon was just yesterday, and Nick had suggested a day or two off for everyone.
Hey, no problem, that means he gets to see Monique in a bathing suit. Randy reflected with a grin. Mendel was the only one still inside since the robot was more interesting to him that surf, sun, and girls in suits. Granted, he knew Nick would feed him to Godzilla if he ever caught him eyeing Elsie the wrong way.
Speaking of the Big Guy, Randy watched Godzilla and Siseir play so gently in the water with Nick, Monique, and Elsie. Siseir was letting the girls climb all over her in play while Nick watched from Godzilla's forehead, talking with the big lizard in mutters. Randy laughed as Monique dove from Siseir's nose only to be caught by a feathered wing.
"Randy! Randy we have a problem!" Mendel came out of the little house yelling like a mad man.
"What's up Doc?" Randy said, doing his best imitation of Bugs Bunny.
"There is a raft headed this way, and it is Jeff O'Neil and Colonel Hicks." Mendel wound up panting next to the hacker.
Randy blinked, and then decided he should call in the others. "Hey Nick! Nick! We have company!" He saw Godzilla glance his way, then go back to watching the girls. "They are too far away!"
"Then let's have Godzilla bring them to us." Mendel said.
"And how you going to do that Doc? Hold out a giant fish and call 'here lizard, lizard, lizard'?"
"No, I'm going to do this." Mendel drew in a deep breath and cupped his hands around his mouth, "INTRUDER!"
Randy blinked rapidly as Godzilla stiffened and whirled with a roar in the water, almost dislodging Nick from his head. Siseir turned to look at what had caught his attention. Before Randy or Mendel could react Godzilla was right in front of them with one stunned mutation biologist on his head.
What intruder?
"What's going on here?" Nick demanded.
"Hicks and O'Neil are headed this way in a raft." Mendel explained.
Godzilla gave an angry growl and glanced over at Siseir, and the three guys could basically hear the wheels turning in the big lizard's head.
Females should not get involved.
Nick looked at where the girls were playing again and tapped his fingers against one arm, "Maybe you are right this time Godzilla, we don't want to draw them needlessly from their game. We can handle two soldiers."
And if not, I will be there. Godzilla sent smugly. He wouldn't let his parent go into possible danger alone.
Something going on? They heard Siseir's mind voice ask.
We're going hunting. Godzilla said back. It wasn't a lie, Nick had figured out that Godzilla and Siseir couldn't lie. However it wasn't exactly the whole truth either.
Dark one wants to know if we should come?
No, stay and play, will be back quickly with food.
All right. Her voice sounded with a small echo of predatory interest, which was quickly superceded by her desire to play.
Nick and Randy made a big scene of loading some fishing net onto the HEAT Seeker before taking off with Mendel coming along to be computer support and Godzilla trailing along behind under the water.
Once the girls were safely out of sight it didn't take them long to reach the small raft that contained two of their old allies. Nick, Randy, and Mendel dropped the floating platform from the HEAT Seeker's deck into the water. It had been Elsie's idea to make the piece of plywood floating on barrels, as she seemed to think it would be handy when checking up on Godzilla or when one of HEAT rubbed the other four's nerves raw. When all was said and done, it did work.
Nick dropped down to the platform with Randy right behind him, leaving Mendel up on the HEAT Seeker to mind the boat.
Colonel Hicks pulled up to the platform and climbed out, leaving O'Neil in the raft. His gaze spoke volumes. "So. You seem to have a comfy little place over there in that farmhouse."
Nick silently willed Godzilla to stay hidden for now, and for patience. Randy thought Nick's voice sounded cold, "It is."
Tony Hicks surveyed the mouse of a biologist for a moment, "Listen, I don't need to tell you that the top brass are royally pissed about the other lizard's break out. They know your team had something to do with it. That France claimed you and has you under protection has not helped matters any."
Nick gave a snarl that sounded suspiciously like Godzilla's, "Your government has gotten in our way too much. We work to save the world, but we are sentient beings."
"So you include that lizard in those 'we's?"
"Yes." Nick watched the dark shadow under the water change direction, Godzilla was making true on his promise of fish while still keeping an eye on his parent.
Tony frowned, "If you are seen on American land, you'll be arrested for terrorism."
Nick's voice became laced with steel and ice, "If the USA has a mutation problem, they can solve it themselves."
"I was afraid you were going to say that." Hicks sighed heavily and pulled out a gun, "Doctor Niko Tatopoulos and Randy Hernandez I am under orders to arrest you and bring you back to America."
"You've got to be joking." Randy dropped a waterproof and blinking red light into the water carefully so Hicks wouldn't notice.
"I am afraid I am not. My superiors want your heads on a plate guys." Tony said, and gestured to the raft.
Nick and Randy stepped back and off the platform, onto the head of one very annoyed and territorial multi-story lizard. Godzilla raised up out of the water so his parent and his parent's ally could jump down to the deck of the HEAT Seeker.
"I'd suggest you get back on your raft colonel." Nick said as Godzilla growled.
Hicks dropped the gun and climbed back onto the raft with O'Neil.
These are intruders? Godzilla asked his parent.
"Yes Godzilla, and we want them to be chased away." Nick muttered.
The mountain of scales hurled the raft skyward somehow in one piece. Randy couldn't even see how far away they landed.
Two hours of fishing later the HEAT Seeker and Godzilla returned to the island with two full nets and a full gullet in Godzilla's case. The water was empty, and the guys returned to the beach to see all three girls sound asleep in the sun.
Godzilla saw Siseir asleep and gave his version of a smile. Her feathers ruffled in the slight breeze off the ocean, showing that she had been out of the water for at least half an hour.
Siseir smelled Godzilla's approach and woke from her nap when she felt him nuzzle into the feathers on her neck.
They were home. Good. She raised her head and yawned, then bowed her neck to gently nudge awake her two companions.
"Hey Siseir." Elsie yawned. Monique got up and stretched.
Males are home. Siseir yawned again and inclined her head to Godzilla.
"Always a good thing." Elsie got up to go track down Nick while Monique just leaned back against Siseir's foreleg. It was funny, how one got used so quickly to responding to telepathy out loud. It really did help that Godzilla and Siseir were so social.
Godzilla gave a rumble and nipped Siseir on the neck, nudging her back to the water. Monique lost her backrest when Siseir complied.
The French agent wondered for a moment, and then went in to the security office. Slim hands flipped a few switches and plugged a feed into a keyboard, causing three monitors in front of her to buzz to life with footage of what was going on underwater. Dark eyes went wide, as she pressed the intercom button, "Doctors Tatopoulos and Chapman to Security, your children are doing something you might want to see."
(A/N I'm not writing the lemon… If you want the lemon then I'll write in a second time, but you'll have to tell me via reviewing)
Elsie and Nick came running in, "What is it Mon- Oh my gosh!" Nick tripped over his own foot and face-planted into the floor. Elsie stared in slack-jawed wonder at the screen.
"This is recording right?" she breathed.
"Oui." Monique nearly forgot the other monitors, staring at the three monitors that held the image of the two intertwined shapes. Her training took a moment to kick in and she checked the monitors, all clear. Good.
"When I asked Godzilla when I would be getting scaly little grandchildren he said maybe soon. I didn't think he meant this soon." Nick muttered as he got up.
"Maybe he doesn't expect you to get scaly little grandchildren this soon." Elsie countered.
Monique broke up any argument. "One way or the other, we will know soon."
