Revenge and Revolution ch. 9

Day 4:
All has been well in the households so far. We managed to set up Minerva's house next door, and it will be suitable living quarters for our intended miniature army. After getting Archibald and Sloane on board it was fairly easy to convince the rest of the best to join our forces. Let's see, so far we have set up Sloane, Archibald, and Jack in the spare room of our house (also referred to as first base), and Minerva has been preparing for Lucy and the twins' arrival over at second base. Columbia is very mature in her nick names for the building names as you can see. Genevieve shall remain living at the castle considering she is still legally DeLordy's adviser, but luckily she was loyal to the queen and the queen alone. Veronica, Charles, and Lucas will most likely float into our head quarters here on occasion until we actually begin to infiltrate the palace.
In other news Magenta and Columbia both seem to reacting well to the prenatal vitamins I created. They are estimated to be in their third week, and genders and estimated due dates seem to be...
"Magenta!" Columbia shouted, "I didn't know Riff Raff kept a diary!" She pounced on the bed trying to glimpse over his shoulder.
"It's not a diary, Columbia, it's a Captain's Log." she responded with a laugh sitting down next to her brother.
"It is a General's Journal. In times like these it is very important for me to track my thoughts, and our progress." He said slightly irritated, putting his spectacles in his breast pocket.
"My apologizes General Vitus. Sheesh this is worse than when I made fun of his Rocky doll." Columbia laughed.
" He was a model! Frank wanted every physical detail and proportion perfect, which I accomplished, he just forgot to mention that we needed to program his sexuality." Riff Raff replied smirking at the thought of his late employer.
" Wait so you made Rocky straight on purpose?" Columbia asked shocked. All this time she thought that had just been an uncontrollable outcome.
"Well he was taken from Eddie, so it should have been expected that he'd be attracted to women." Riff explained with a snort.
" Sorry to interrupt, but a black motorcycle just pulled up." Sloane said from the doorway. The three friends followed the business like man to the front of the house.
Introducing Rea: An Ex-Spy
Rea slowly approached the house with her helmet in hand. She considered rolling down the sleeves on the simple black blazer she was wearing to hide the lightening bolt "birth mark", but she knew General Vitus and the fearsome Sloane & Archibald duo would know it's true origin. That's why they've called me here; they know what I'm capable of. Rea straightened out her short asymmetrical hair cut in the reflection on her black shiny headgear. She didn't see why Lucy insisted that she wear this silly Earth helmet even though it wasn't a true motorcycle but rather a teleporter. Silly girl, first the helmet, and now she is making poor Doe drive her in that yellow bug of hers. Rea couldn't help but think this would be a little easier if her sister and dear Lucy were beside her. You were the number one spy in Transylvania, yet you still are shaken by a few strangers. There are many differences between a normal social interaction and the instinctive spy way of thinking. Firstly, Rea wasn't here to kill any of these people. Secondly, she had grown a custom to blending in. She carefully applyed just enough makeup not to look foreign, but not be noticed in the sea of colorful lipstick, fishnets, and feathered boas Her normal tactics wouldn't help her go unnoticed by the eager faces waiting for her on the porch of her newest head quarters.
"Welcome to First Base!" Columbia greeted with a grand gesture that almost hit Sloane in the face.
"Thank you. I'm not sure how Lucy will feel about me going to first base with other girls without her." Rea mumbled with a smirk.
"Welcome Rea. Long time, no see." Magenta greeted. The two had gone to school together for a short time before Magenta left for Earth. Rea was a year ahead of Magenta, and Lucy and Magenta had a few classes together.
"Come in Rea. Once Lucy and Doe arrive, we'll help you settle in over in Minerva's spare room." Riff Raff said closing the door behind Rea and guiding her to the dining room.
"Yay second base!" Columbia shouted trailing behind.
Meanwhile
"Are we almost there?" Lucy whined.
"We would have been almost there already if you had told me we needed to refuel this hunk of junk you call a teleporter before we left Pansexual."
"You act like I actually drive the thing," Lucy laughed, "And his name is ."
"I swear, I don't know why Rea puts up with you." Doe mumbled, pushing a complicated series of buttons that meant absolutely nothing to Lucy.
"Well, I could name a few reasons that would make you blush." At even the mention of her blushing, the fair, lavender haired woman turned a shade of bright red.
" I guess it's a good thing we're delayed," Lucy said after a few minutes of silence had passed, " I really need to finish this paperwork before we get to Riff's place."
Doe turned to look at her passenger so quickly, she nearly gave herself whiplash, "You mean to tell me that you've been recruited in a mission to take down the leader of the strongest government in all the known galaxies, and you haven't started filling out your forms?!"
"Yeah, but it's not like they're important." Lucy replied calmly, making chicken scratch notes over the front page."
"Lucy, you're the weapons expert. Weapons are a pretty key piece of any revolution! What could you have possibly been doing that was more important?"
"Your sister."
That evening
Doe, Rea, and Lucy were comfortably settled into the spare rooms of second base shortly after dinner. Dinner was quite the sight to see now that the long table in the Vitus' dining room was filling up. At the head was Riff Raff, with Magenta to his right. Then there was Sloane, Archibald, and Jack on one side, and Doe, Rea, Lucy, and Columbia on the other. Minerva took the seat at the foot of the table next to an empty chair. Wait... An empty chair? That means someone was missing!
Shortly after the other residents realized that Ricky hadn't been seen or heard from all day, the missing man walked back into the house holding a large watermelon. "Columbia! I'm home!" he greeted putting the watermelon on the kitchen counter.
"Where have you been all day? You had me worried for a moment!" Columbia said pulling him into a hug.
"You said last night that you were craving watermelon. I had to go all the way back to Earth to get one!" Ricky said sounding exhausted after his day of travel.
"Really? I must have been half asleep. Watermelon is icky!"
Poor Ricky. Hope you enjoyed! Please leave a review, and maybe you can have some of Columbia's unwanted watermelon.
