Tloj: Alright, let's get the action started off with a lemon! Don't want it? I'll let you know when it's over. :)

Hero's POV

When I wake up the next morning I'm surprised to find myself alone. But the aroma on the air tells me where the best women in my life have taken off to.

I smile and quickly brush my teeth and get dressed, coming downstairs.

"Shade, that's a tablespoon, it only needs a teaspoon."

"Forgive me, but I fail to see the relevance..."

I smile and peer into the kitchen. "Good morning, ladies."

I see them bent over the mixing bowl... in their underpants, and a apron each.

My jaw drops, and my tail immediately starts wagging. "How are you two this morning?"

Sarah smiles, "Good morning Hero. I'm teaching Shade the artform of modern cooking!"

"And being sexy while you're at it." I smile, walking up and wrapping them in a hug.

They both kiss one of my cheeks, and Shade says, "If it's truly an art form then why is there a recipe? There is no instruction list for a sculpture, or painting."

Sarah nods, "Yeah, but those don't get eaten either."

"Sculptures and paintings are made to look beautiful. You don't know what goes into them, meaning they could be toxic or dangerous. Not so with food." I smile at Shade.

Shade sighs, "I suppose..."

I chuckle and give them a kiss each, walking to the fridge, where I assume... yes, Mom had left a note saying she was off to work. No wonder the girls were so bold. Well, Shade at least.

She sees me looking, and her tail wags in my direction as she bends over the bowl for a better look.

I blush and purr more, wagging my tail as I blindly reach for some milk, admiring her.

Is it just me, or did they both decide to wear see-through panties?

...It's not just me, upon closer inspection. I smile more, feeling someone waking up as I pet their behinds.

Have you ever heard two women moaning for you first thing in the morning? No? Try it sometime.

Sarah looks back at me with a smile while Shade pretends not to notice.

I smile and grab their panties, about to slide them down... when my phone vibrates in my pocket.

Sarah pouts, and I see Shade's ears droop a bit.

"One second." I scowl as I answer my phone. "Hello?"

"This is Seis, boyo. We've made the plans, you busy?"

I look at my girls. "Yes. Give me thirty minutes."

"Okay, see you then."

I turn my phone off and toss it onto the table with a smirk. "Now, where were we?"

They smile, and wag their tails at me.

I yank their panties down, admiring their gorgeous asses and pussies with a purr, rubbing their perfect cheeks with my hands.

Shade smiles back at me, "Whom will be pleasured on your spear first this morning?"

I smile. "You. I need you to come with me, so I need you to recover sooner." I purr, unbuckling my pants.

Shade purrs, and crosses her arms on the counter so she can bend over further.

I smile and rub my throbbing member on her delicious ass. "Which hole?" I purr.

"My womanhood," she replies, running a hand over her pussy.

I drool a little, obliging. I push my tip into her, moaning. She was already wet, and she was still tight...

Her moan can almost be described as pitiful, and she looks back at me with half lidded eyes.

I purr and push in all the way, leaning over her and starting to thrust, placing my hands on her hips.

"Aaahh... Ah!" She bows her head as she grips the edge of the counter to brace herself.

I moan happily, humping her hard. Her apron sways, her breasts slowly bouncing their way out of the sides of the barely concealing fabric.

"Yes," she pleads. "Please, show me your love..."

"All I can give..." I pant, thrusting harder and faster. I reach up and grab her swinging mounds, squeezing them with a purr.

Shade closes her eyes, and bites her lip with a long, loud moan.

I slow down and slam into her harder, ramming her pussy as I pound her into the counter with a happy moan.

She moans blissfully for me, and tightens her insides.

I cringe and force my way through her happily, not slowing down more. "I'm... almost..."

"Yes," she begs. "Yes, please!"

I growl and force myself to go faster, panting as my eyes glaze over. I squeeze her breasts harder as I wag my tail, almost ready to peak.

Sarah reaches under us, petting my balls as she rubs Shade. Shade almost screams in joy as she squirts all over the front of my legs.

I gasp, and climax inside her, spurting burst after burst into Shade's pussy.

She jerks with each spurt, panting hard.

I slowly pull out, her cum dripping off my manhood as she leaks our cum. I pant and sit on the floor, wagging my tail.

Sarah lowers herself to her knees, and start licking my cock clean.

I shudder and moan happily. "Ah...Sarah..."

She smiles up at me.

I purr and reach over, pulling the string of her apron and letting it fall off.

She takes my wrists, putting my hands on her breasts as she rolls me onto my back.

I purr and pull her on top of me, playing with her breasts with a smile.

She purrs deeply as she grinds her hips up, and down my cock.

I moan and kiss her happily.

She kisses me lovingly, and whimpers in pleasure.

I smile and grab her waist, lowering her onto my dick with a moan.

"Aaaaah..." Her moan almost comes out as a sigh of relief.

I purr, rubbing her ass. I want her to go at her pace, I don't want to hurt the baby.

She goes slow, not having sex so much as making love...

I sigh happily and lay on my back, closing my eyes as I enjoy the feeling.

She leans forwards as she bounces on my cock, kissing my chest, and then softly biting my neck.

I moan and bob my hips a little.

She giggles, "Easy, don't scare the baby..."

I smile and nod with a purr.

She winks, and tightens her walls around me like a vice.

"Gack!" I yelp, blushing. "Tell me to go easy, then you go harder? Meanie!"

She giggles, "Keeping you on your toes sweetie." She kisses him, and loosens up a little.

He chuckles and starts bobbing his hips, softer this time.

She smiles at me, and circles a hand on my chest as she bounces me a little faster.

I moan happily. "This is great... but you're not going to get me to cum like this..."

Then I feel Shade licking my balls.

My eyes widen, and I start to squirm. "O-okay... that's better...!"

Shade rubs her tongue back and forth over my nuts, and then draws one into her mouth the suck on gently.

I whimper, shuddering. This was a new experience...

Shade pulls back immediately in a panic, "Did I harm you?! I tired to be gentle!"

"No... don't stop..." I beg with a whimper.

She blinks with a smile, and nods as she sucks one ball while rubbing the other.

I moan happily, going under.

Sarah pants, "I love you Hero..."

"...Love you too... love you both... so much..." I pant, starting to drool as my senses start to overload.

She whimpers rapidly as she collapses on me, her cunt tighter than a nun's chastity belt.

I instantly wonder why I thought that, but shove it out of my mind as I moan and release my load.

She shudders, and makes fists on my chest.

I go limp and pant heavily, wagging my tail. "Geez... you two take a lot of energy to please..."

Shade nuzzles my neck, "Then feel blessed that you have plenty to spare."

I chuckle. "Yeah..."

Lemon over! Back to the action!

I sit up and kiss them both before standing. "Well, I guess I'd better shower and change. I'll be back for breakfast."

"Assuming we can get it right," Shade says.

Sarah smiles, "why not just let me do the cooking?"

Shade frowns, "But that would be disrespectful."

"You'll have all the time in the world to learn to cook when we come back. You also need to shower, I doubt cum is a scent princesses should strut around with." I wink as I pick up my discarded clothes and my phone.

"For a mated one who has undergone a proper ceremony it is, depending on the personality," Shade says as she follows me. "One of the many things I like when comparing ours to modern culture is the liberties we have, most of which you would call taboo. Fortunately we share enough laws to coexist."

"Yeah." I smile. I check my clothes to make sure they're not dirty before tossing them on my bed and stepping into the shower, turning it on.

Shade steps in white me, washing my back while humming to herself what I'm guessing is a folk song.

"What are you singing?" I ask curiously, shampooing my hair.

"Just a song a Bard once sang for me," she explains. "A tale of a remarkable hero who had the power to do as he pleased, but never had to use it to bring peace, nor did he threaten."

"Really?" I blink, "Could you sing a verse for me?"

She smiles, "Very well, but bear with me please, it's a difficult song without the music."

"I understand." I smile and start shampooing her hair.

She purrs at the sensation, and leans into me.

I work meticulously on her hair as I wait to hear this song.

"As I walked down the frosty harbor as the sun teased to rise

Who should I see but the strong proud hero framed in the red and golden light?

There he stood with his head held high, and with a smile he made his way past me.

In all my life have I ne'er seen such man as grand as the mighty hero called Zien-Dee."

Then Shade starts to hum a tune that makes me think heavy drums were involved in the telling of this story.

I think thoughtfully, processing the song.

"Late that morn as I walked through town with my laid heavy with wares to sell for my children, three,

Who should I see with an angry monger but the might hero called Zien-Dee?

Though with hate, and spite the monger cried ne'er once did he falter as he weathered the storm.

Then he spoke softly and left the poor monger, and simple fisherman was wiser more."

It was catchy, with her voice the melody was rich and beautiful.

Shade pauses with a blush, "I apologize, I meant only the first verse, and I nearly sang the whole song. We are in a bit of a rush, yes?"

"Er, right." I quickly rinse off and step out, drying off.

She follows suit, dressing in her battle outfit.

We walk downstairs to the smell of delicious waffles. "Mm... smells awesome, Sarah." I smile.

She hands me a plastic container of waffles swimming in syrup, and covered in butter. She pecks my cheek, "Please remember to buy some milk while you're out."

I smile. "I'm pretty sure we'll be out for a lot longer than it takes to get milk... but I will."

She smacks my chest, "No we're fine on groceries, your mother went with me yesterday. I meant grab some for yourself, those waffles won't taste as good without it."

"Oh. I'll get milk anyways." I wink and give her a kiss.

She purrs, "Be safe dear."

Shade puts a hand on my shoulder, "I will do what I can to ensure our return, Sarah."

I give Shade's hand a squeeze. "I promise we'll be back, okay?" I give Sarah one last hug and turn into Chaos Hero.

Shade raises her battle helmet, and Sarah takes a step back with a wave.

"Chaos Control!" I call, warping us away.

FLASH!

"OW! WHY'S IT ALWAYS GOTTA ME?!"

A general laughter roars around me as I quickly hop off of Spike. "Oops, sorry!"

Spike holds his crotch as he curls up in the chair, "Oohhh... I never even got the chance to USE that!"

Sonia giggles. "You mean, you've never used it with anyone else."

I blink. "Wait..." I look around, and to my surprise, Sonic, Manic, and Sonia have somehow joined our party.

"When did you three get here?" I tilt my head.

"Knuckles called us. How can I say no to a baddie bashing?" Sonic smirks.

"Hello...? Balls crushed over here, why is there no ice pack in my hand?"

I roll my eyes and turn into Ice Hero, freezing his junk. "Happy now?"

"B-b-b-bast-t-tard..."

Sonia giggles and kisses his cheek. "You kinda walked into that. Your leader controls elements, genius."

His face goes slack with a dopey smile, "Suddenly I don't care anymore..."

Reave glances at Sonic to read a reaction.

Sonic rolls his eyes, muttering something about a Bartleby to Manic, and Manic snickers.

Crystal taps her chin, "Wait a moment hedgehog... Bartleby? A royal with a pompous-then-some attitude?"

"Yeah, Sonia has a huge crush on him... not sure why." Manic shrugs.

"He's a really nice guy!" Sonia argues.

"Yeah, to you." Sonic rolls his eyes.

Crystal nods, "Sonic is right Sonia, to the rest of the world he has many enemies. There is an assassination contract open on him, worth Trillions of rings pooled by his collective adversaries."

"Trillions you say...?" Manic gains a thoughtful look.

"Don't. You. Dare." Sonia glares.

"I might," Reave says reasonably. "To have such a price on his head suggests he's incapable of coping in this world. Better such power provided by the gold were in our responsible hands versus a man like Robotnik."

Sonia flicks her wrists, energy blades extending from them. "No. I won't let you do that." She growls.

Reave raises an eyebrow, "How can you hold such affection for one so openly hated?"

"Because I love him?" She states stubbornly.

Spike jerks, and the flowers growing on the fourth wall behind him begin to wilt.

"Hey. We're the good guys here. Just because no one likes him means we have to kill him. We're not above the law. No matter who we are, what rank we hold, or the powers we wield. We're better than petty murder. Because if we're not... what makes us different from Eggman?" I look at Crystal pointedly. There's just something about her and wanting to kill people...

Crystal looks me right back in the eye, "You forget who we are Hero. Assassins, murderers, thieves, hustlers, and let us not forget vigilantes." She looks at Antonio on that one. "We are ALL leading lives where we put ourselves above the law. While I think it a waste of time to pursue the contract at this time, I will not pretend to be holier-than-thou like most those present."

Smoke looks at Reave out of the corner of his eye, "You Nightshades are some cold motherfuckers..."

I sigh. "Okay, maybe we aren't." I glare at her, and point. "But. As long as you're with me on my group, you will listen to my rules. All of you. When you run off on your own little free time, I don't care, do whatever you want. But when you follow me, you /will/ be heroes. You will set an example for others to follow. And if you challenge me... you'll see just how much of a Hero I. Will. Be." I growl those last few words with clenched teeth, driving my point home.

Sonic takes a step back. "Uh... okay, that's a lot stronger than my usual 'Teamwork solves all' speeches... I think we can live with that."

"Can I still drink?" Seis states.

"Not in front of kids." I state.

"Fiiiine..." He scowls.

Reave watches me closely, and then cranes his neck to see Spike growing mushrooms in a corner.

Sonia sheathes her weapons with a curt nod at me, as Chaos walks over to Spike.

"Something wrong, Spike?" Chaos asks.

Spike looks up at him while looking utterly miserable, "Oh just the girl of my dreams is already with an asshole who doesn't treat her right..."

"Have you tried... oh, I dunno, persuading her to change her mind? Not all girls are like Cinder, you know." He smiles.

"...Thanks dad!" He brightens up instantly, and dashes across the van while the others are in their private conversations.

Spike skids to a stop by Sonic, and Manic, tapping their shoulders, "Got a sec dudes?"

Sonic blinks as Manic says, "Sure, sup dude?"

Spike pulls them to the side, "Look I'm not so great with words so I'm just gonna say it. Ever since I was little I thought Sonia was the best thing to walk this planet. Since you two are the only guys looking out for her I want your permission to try changing her mind about this Beetle-Knee guy."

Manic blinks. "Just how old are you?"

"Um... Somewhere between 17-19..."

Sonic blinks. "Geez, were you stalking her throughout her childhood? You're not like your sister in terms of attempts at attraction are you?"

"Stalking, no, but it wasn't like I was gonna past up a Sonic Underground album or two I found in recycling bins," he shrugs. "Look, I just don't' wanna see her become the trophy-wife to some pompous reject. Even if you say no I gotta try... No one is ever gonna be good enough for her, not even me... I just gotta try..."

They exchange a look. "Well... better you than Bartlebutt." Sonic says. "But don't think this changes a thing between your sister and I."

Spike smirks, "Of course not, ain't no man good enough for my sis neither." He chuckles.

Sonic sticks his tongue out. "Yeah... however you wanna see it. Just don't go psycho on her, or I'll go Dark on you."

Spike tilts his head, "Psycho?"

"I was there when you flipped your lid with Julie-Su." Sonic reminds him.

"Ah yeah..." He looks to the side in shame, "Well... I'll hold you to that."

He smiles and nods. "Other than that... good luck."

"Oh, and wear a condom until you marry her, kay? She IS royalty." Manic smirks.

Spike snorts a laugh, "Dude, if my mom taught me anything it's that you'd better not mistreat a woman." The hair on the back of his neck stands up, "...She's right behind me, isn't she...?"

"Your mom? Yes." They both nod.

Cinder sighs, "At least you had the decency to ask her family."

Spike nods, "Thanks mom, but... What kind of stuff does Sonia like?

"Singing, music, being pretty, cute guys, and punching things." Manic states.

Spike snaps his fingers, "those last two I can definitely help with!"

"Then you may want to learn how to sing. That's the order she likes them as well." Manic smirks.

Spike strokes his chin, "Well unless she likes heavy rock then I'm outta luck there. Best songs I can sing are Welcome to the Masquerade by 30 Seconds to Mars, and Indestructible by Disturbed."

"Dude, have you seen what we sing? Anything, that's what." Manic sticks his tongue out.

"Wouldn't want that in my mouth either," Spike mutters. "Thanks for the blessing guys, wish me luck!" He walks off with a wave.

They watch him leave. "Thirty rings says he gets kicked in the nuts." Sonic states.

"Fifty." Manic states back.

"Deal."

Cinder eyes them coldly, "You're both terrible..."

Spike walks over towards Sonia, "Excuse me gorgeous singer, can we talk?"

Manic shrugs. "Want in, or not?"

Sonia blinks. "Sure?"

Cinder glares at Manic.

Spike clears his throat, "Just curious, because you see, I've never been in a relationship before. How do you keep yours alive even with all that distance?"

"What? I know you're like his mom, but you've seen him try for more girls than we have."

"Staying alive helps." She smiles.

"Yes, none," Cinder says. "However he's spent much time with Smoke who has no doubt given him tips. I'm only allowing you two to manipulate him like this out of curiosity for the outcome."

Spike smirks, "That's a given... So what's he like, your man? He treat you good?"

Manic shrugs. "Okay. Any takers?"

"More like... I treat him good. He's kind of a weenie." She giggles.

Cinder shakes her head as she watches.

Spike frowns, "That... Doesn't seem right to me. I mean, I grew up around badass women so I'm not being sexist here, but shouldn't the guy be taking care of the girl?"

"He's a prince who was raised a prince. I'm a princess who was raised a princess until I was ten, then I became a warrior." She smiles.

Spike rubs his neck, "Can't say I relate TOO much. I've lived on the streets since I was seven, and brought up a warrior."

She frowns. I'm sorry..."

Spike tilts his head, "What for? You didn't do anything."

Cinder smirks, "Sonic, Manic, I may actually take you up on that bet."

"I know... but you've been fighting since you were SEVEN! That's most of your childhood, gone!" Sonia frowns. "No one deserves that..."

Spike sticks out his tongue with a cheeky grin, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"

She smiles. "I guess just because you became a warrior at seven didn't change you too much. You're a very nice man."

He smiles, and pulls an album out of his quills, "And your biggest fan..."

Her eyes widen. "Really?" She recovers and smirks. "Then you don't mind if I quizz you then?"

He crosses his arms, and does a Shadow impression. "Challenge accepted."

"When was our first album released?" She smiles.

Spike looks up as he roots around in his quills.

She blinks and tilts her head.

"October... 21st, three years ago," he says with a smile, and pulls a karaoke machine out of his quills. "Trade you this for an autograph!"

Her jaw drops. "That's... a vintage! Just my autograph for that? Sure! What do you want me to sign?"

Spike starts pulling albums from his hair, six total. "Took a while to collect these, and I had the machine restored with Smoke's help."

Her eyes widen. "Six albums?! You've managed to save six of them?!"

"I know! I was totally ticked, and overjoyed when I found the whole box set in the garbage behind this one pawn shop in downtown Westopolis."

She pulls a marker from her hair and signs each and every one of them. "You should frame these. These are the first six albums we did, I'm pretty sure this is one of the last sets left."

"I was actually hoping to glass-case them once I get my own place somewhere," he confides.

She smiles. "That's good. Hold onto those, okay? They're worth a lot now, since Sonic became world famous and all."

He nods, wrapping them in a plastic bag before putting them back in his quills. "Speaking of, what have you been doing since Underground went underground?"

"Besides babysitting Manic?" She rolls her eyes.

"Hey!" Manic scowls.

"I've taken on the search for Mom myself. I know she's still out there, the prophecy still lives." She says seriously.

"Oh yeah..." He taps his chin, "Well maybe I could help. There are circles in Crime City that the Demon of Poisoned Rose has keys to."

"Really?" Her eyes sparkle. "That would help a lot!"

He rubs his neck, "It's not much, but..."

"Every little bit helps. Thanks Spike." She leans in and kisses his cheek. "And when you find the demon and he finds out where my mom is, thank him for me."

He rubs his cheek, "Uh... Sonia, I'M him, the Demon. It was my nickname back running with Smoke, and Cinder here."

She blinks. "You? You're the demon? You're so nice, how are you a demon?"

"Well... I'd rather not go into specifics. Let's just say I can kick serious butt, and enough people know it that I'd have Adolf Hitler crapping himself."

She nods slowly. She smiles. "You're cute when you're nervous, Mr. Demon." She giggles and walks over to her Bike-Type Gear.

"It's just Spike," he says.

Cinder smiles, holding her hand out to Sonia's brothers. "I win."

"So... he's not gonna say something incredibly stupid and ruin the moment like what Manic does?" Sonic frowns.

"Okay... Spike." Sonia smiles.

Spike waves, "See you in a bit then, gotta talk with the cats about our way into Crime City."

She giggles. "Okay then."

Sonic and Manic sigh and each give fifty rings to Cinder.

Cinder smirks, "A pleasure doing business with you."

Sonic shrugs. "Meh, I'm sure we'll collect more. It's weird how many people drop rings for me to pick up. It's like they know Prince Sonic is gonna go down a path. Like a stupid video game."

Millie stretches, "So how ARE we getting to Crime City?"

Smoke raises a hand for attention, "I got my guys on it. The reason it's such a hotspot for criminals is because it's so hard to find. It's completely underground, and the tunnels leading in and out of it are changed constantly. It's been a few years since my last visit so the place could be on the other side of the world by now."

"And once we know, with you as my Navy Gator, we shall ride my awesome van into the city." Antonio smiles.

Millie pats his arm, "Navigator, sweetie."

"It sounds cooler if he's a Navy Gator! Then he can throw torpedoes at people and stuff! Chomp!" He smirks.

Millie giggles, then kisses him. Smoke points at them, "When we get there you two had best stay in the car."

Antonio shrugs. "Sure. But why?"

"Even criminals have etiquette, and bringing a known superhero into the capital of all crime is a big violation. Hell, I'm hesitating about even bringing Sonic there unless we dress him like Scourge. Manic looks stoned enough we could say he's getting into the Weed/Pot business, and Sonia is just there on an information trip."

"Hey!" Manic scowls.

Sonic rubs his chin thoughtfully. "I've dressed up before, I can do it again."

Antonio smiles. "Like you said, known superheroes. All superheroes have secret identities, remember? And since I wear a mask and change my voice, it's impossible to know that I'm also the Tails Doll. I'm just an undercover detective following a hunch."

"You, shut up," Smoke says to Manic. Then he turns to Antonio, "And you, there are going to be things down there that will make you wanna pull out the mask. Sorry, but for Hero's sake we can't take that chance."

Smoke then addresses the group, "One more thing; no lady ever sets foot in Crime City. Instead we see women like Cinder, sluts with a rape fetish, or the newest attraction: the slave trade. Not all countries are accepting it fully yet so there's a big market on them underground. My point is that more than likely anyone who sets foot outside this van WILL be attacked before we leave, just be ready for it."

Antonio looks thoughtful as Seis states, "So why don't we just send the mangy ones out, like me, you, Cinder, and Spike?"

Counterpunch states, "A wise plan. However, with our large group, there is no way most everyone will stay in the van. It's a stupid little heroic thing people do."

I frown. "We need to disguise ourselves more, just to get down there."

Spike reaches into his quills, and starts tossing out clothes. He pulls out some green spray-paint, "AHA! BANZAI!" Then he jumps at Sonic.

Sonic yelps, startled. He starts running, but Sonia grabs him, rolling her eyes. "So us girls should dress up as sluts to be less suspicious?"

Spike skids to a stop, falling on his ass with wide eyes. Then he shouts at Smoke, "That is the stupidest plan ever!"

Smoke sweatdrops, "Actually I was gonna suggest the ones here who can actually fight dress in red, and pose as Cinder's students. Dressing as a slut will just get you screwed over."

I nod. "So all of them... except for June."

June gulps. "Haven't I trained enough, Smoke?"

Smoke pulls June to him around the waist, "She'll be going with me. I know enough guys, and have enough respect they'll tease, and taunt but essentially leave her be."

She sighs with relief.

"How about you, Jane? I know you're great with guns, how about hand to hand?" Counterpunch asks.

"I been in enough barfights," she replies. "Plus I got a rep as a bounty hunter."

Smoke mulls that over, "...Yeah, Jane you should stay here. We don't wanna risk some buffoon wanting to show off on you."

Counterpunch says, "Actually, I was asking so she can help me. You have an assistant, I think I can have one too. I'm just as known as you, plus I have a rep that my bro has access to nukes." He sticks his tongue out. "Not sure when or where that rumor started, but it helps."

Jane smirks, and stands by him, "Makes sense that he'd hire a fast gun down there."

Smoke nods, "Alright. Assassins do what you do best, stay hidden. We should assign groups so they know who to support."

I nod. "Okay. Who wants to go with who? Then we'll decide how good of a fit that is."

Antonio says, "Millie and I will stick with the van as a neutral contact point. If you guys need backup, I'll reroute teams. And if Hero finds Fear... I'll have everyone converge, and we'll go. By that point, the element of surprise will be gone anyways."

Spike steps up beside Sonia, "I said I'd help her find information on Queen Aleena so we're going together."

Cinder looks to Chaos, and takes his hand, "You may want to morph into a more... rugged form."

He nods and closes his eyes, shifting into Pachamac in battle armor. He shifts his color scheme to blue before opening his eyes. "Better?"

Julie-Su and Mom look at each other. "I suppose we'll dress up as students, then."

Knuckles punches his hand. "I'll stick with Hero. There's gonna be more fighting with him."

Sonic nods. "Me too."

"I'll stick with Antonio." Manic shrugs. "I can help him drive the van."

I look at Shade. "With me or Cinder?" I ask gently.

Shade kisses me, "I promised Sarah Id' do what I could to bring you home."

Reave nods, "Then I shall cover Sonia, and Spike from the shadows since they are the smallest team."

Crystal adjusts her blades, "Since Hero is our main priority I will watch after him."

Seis shrugs and lays back. "I'll stick with Antonio. More drinking time."

"And you, Honey Bunny?" Antonio kisses Millie.

"You hafta ask?" She raises an eyebrow.

Spike puts on a long tattered black Duster. "Let's make a move people."

Smoke laughs, "Easy, we still gotta find a way in."

I nod. "When do your contacts show up Smoke?"

"They don't, I got untraceable phones they call me by."

I nod. "Very well." I look through the clothes and grab a ratty jacket, slipping it on before grabbing some knuckle guards. There, I hope that makes me look a bit... less nice.

Spike dives into the pile, and comes out with a long tan jacket, a bit cleaner than the rest, "Here ya go Sonia, and I know there's a hat for it in here someplace..."

She smiles and slips it on. "Thank you, Spike."

I look at Shade. "Maybe you should put something less threatening on over your armor."

She nods, and fishes through the clothes, "Something red... something red..."

I finger the rings that I wear. It only occurred to me now that I have two rings... and now two soon-to-be wives. I should get Shade a ring when we come back.

Shade selects a red vest, and slips it over her black unitard, "Will this do?"

Smoke tilts his head, "So long as you keep your helmet down it should."

I think it's not much of a disguise, but hey. Antonio tells me all the time villains are stupid, it should work. "Yeah, I think you'll be fine." I nod.

Cinder starts picking at articles of clothes, and holds up a red sash. "Lien-Da, will this restrain you at all?"

She looks at it before wrapping it around her waist. "No, I don't think so."

Shade blinks as she notes Cinder's proximity to Chaos. "Waverider... are you... WITH the god of destruction?"

"Wait, what's wrong with me?" He blinks, not understanding.

"I... You are a GOD, Chaos, and... I was merely taken off-guard."

"Oh. Well, even gods have feelings. Ask Thor." He smiles.

"Whom?"
