Alright! Let's keep this thing rolling! With school starting to come to an end, I'll have a little more time on my hands. So, Enjoy Chapter 2!
BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP
"Ooooh." Susan groaned. "Stupid alarm..."
It was with a quick gasp that she realized she wasn't the only one in the cot she was inhabiting. She turned to look at the unfamiliar man next to her. He was obviously undisturbed by the loud noise. It was then that she remembered the events of the night before. It was with a sigh that she finally relaxed. She looked back at the sleeping doctor. She took in all of him before she shook him in an attempt to wake him. He let out a grunt of disapproval at being awoken.
"Who dares to try-" He was suddenly interrupted by the cot coming out from the both of them. Susan landed on his lap and they stared at each other in surprise.
"S-Sus-Whoa!" He said as the wall pushed them out of the room and out into the open room. They stared at each other with frighten expressions as they breathed heavily. Suddenly, Dr. C started to chuckle.
"What?" Susan said as she felt her own grin coming.
"Y-You should have se-seen the look on your face!" He started laughing. "I-It was hilarious!"
Susan looked at him as he laughed before she soon found herself joining. They sat there on the floor before the sound of someone clearing their throat caught their attention. They turned to see Link, B.O.B., and Insecto looking at them with amused expressions. They scrambled to their feet and stepped away from each other with blushes clearly lighting their faces.
"You guys have a good time last night?" Link teased.
"Oh, please." Dr. C rolled his eyes. "Can't you be a little more mature, Link? Nothing happened. Susan was just locked out of her room and came for my assistance."
"So, you told her to sleep in your room?" Link said clearly amused.
Susan stood uncertainly off to the side as they bickered back and forth. Dr. C was fixing Link with a deadly glare and Link just laughed it off.
"I gotta say, Doc, I didn't think you had it in you." He roughly patted Dr. C on the back. "Respect to you, Doc."
"Well I never!" Dr. C said indignantly.
He was about to say more when another door opened up next to them. Monger flew in on his jetpack. He looked around momentarily confused before he looked down to see a group of people standing below him.
"What the-" He said as he landed next to them. "Who are you?! You shouldn't be here! Top secret!"
"Don't you recognize us, General?" Susan asked.
He stopped his yelling and studied each of them. It was impossible. There was no way.
"Monsters...?" He said questioningly.
"Heh, your age catching up to you?" Link questioned jokingly as he elbowed Insecto in the side.
"Wha...What happened to you!?" Monger demanded.
"Doc changed us to humans!" B.O.B. said as he slung his arm over Monger's shoulder.
Monger glared at B.O.B. as he pushed his arm off of him. He then switched his glare to the doctor. Dr. C was smiling smugly at him with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Told you I wasn't a quack." He declared to him.
"You did what?!" Monger yelled. Even for his short stature, he was able to lift Dr. C easily. "I could easily have you jailed!"
"For what?!" Dr. C laughed. "For changing monsters you had hidden on a secret base into humans, so they can have a life where they aren't being watched 24/7?! Have fun explaining that!"
Monger dropped him in his fury. He started to walk away before he turned around and kicked Dr. C in his stomach.
"You have an hour to leave before I get the authorities." He growled before stomping away.
"Doctor!" Susan exclaimed as she knelt next to the fallen man. "Are you okay?"
He was silent for a while, and Susan stared at him worriedly. Suddenly a dark chuckle started rising in his throat.
"Mwhahahahahahahaha!" He said as he sat on his knees and let the evil scientist in him come out. "I told you I wasn't a quack! You all laughed at me, but look at me now! I did it!"
"Doc!" Susan said as she snapped him out of his rant. "Stop it! You're scaring me!"
He looked at her with regret before he looked back down to the floor in shame.
"I-I'm sorry, Susan." He told her. "I didn't mean to frighten you. I'm not sure what happened. I-I just kind of lost it."
"Hey, now." Susan said as she used her hand to make Dr. C look at her. "We all lose control of ourselves at one time or another. Don't blame yourself."
"Thank you, my dear." Dr. C smiled at her. He helped her stand back up. "We better get leaving, though. I have no doubt in my mind he'll go through with that threat."
They walked off and grabbed what few belongings they still had. When they met back up, the general was waiting there.
"We are about to leave, General." Susan assured. "We just-"
"Hold on there a second." He interrupted. "I don't want us to leave off on a bad foot. I've arranged for the 'copter to drop you off at your parents home."
"Thank you, General." Susan said as she enveloped him in a hug. "It means a lot."
"Yes...well..." He said obviously uncomfortable. "Can you let go of me now?"
"Oh, sorry." She said as she let go.
Monger turned to Link, B.O.B., and Insecto, and gave each of them their own salute. When he got to Dr. C, the two of them glared at each other. Monger gave a stiff nod, and the Doctor returned it.
"Alright, mon-...Alright, let's move out!" Monger said as he led them to the hanger.
They lined in one by one. The helicopter looked empty without Susan taking up all the space. They sat on the assorted military vehicles. It was silent except for the occasional chitchat from Susan as she tried to lighten up the mood. They felt the helicopter jerk to say that it had landed.
"Good luck to all of you. It has been a pleasure knowing you." His eyes slid over to Dr. C. "Some less than others."
Dr. C just rolled his eyes at the response. They got off the plane and watched as it took back off. Susan turned to look back at her hometown. She excitedly looked at the others. She saw Dr. C smirking at her excitement. She tackled him in a hug.
"Thank you, Doc!" She exclaimed. "I can't believe this is actually happening! It's all thanks to you!"
Dr. C was astonished by what was happening. He looked down at Susan who was still latched onto him. He slowly brought his arms up to hug her back.
"I-It was nothing, my dear." He said blushing.
Suddenly aware of the others watching, she released her grip on the doctor. She turned to look at the others.
"C'mon, guys." She exclaimed laughing as she started taking off running to her parents' house. "Last one there is a rotten egg!"
"Yay!" B.O.B. cheered as he went after her.
"See you there, nerd!" Link called back as he and Insecto took off running.
Dr. C just shook his head and chuckled as he ran after them.
