"Penny!" cried Talon as he saw her lying on the floor. She looked horrible. It looked like people had beaten her. She had a black eye, bloody lip and was knocked unconscious. "Penny?" he tapped her on the cheeks. Nothing. He lightly shook her. Finally she woke up coughing, stuttering, and crying. "Sh sh it's ok. I got you." he let her cry on his shoulder as he gently rocked her. Finally she stopped crying and was getting a hold of herself when he started talking. "Penny? Are you ok? This was never supposed to happen."

"Talon? What's going on? Where am I?"

"You're in my Uncles lair. I'm supposed to be interrogating you but I'm going to use this time to explain what's going on. So I'm the nephew of Claw but I'm also an undercover agent for HQ. This hurt me so much to do this to you but I had to. We've fought a lot over the last few years and I wanted it to stop. I was originally going to tell you at 4th and Main but..." he trailed off.

"Wait so all this time, all the 'Intel' we've gotten, it was all from you?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry Penny. The last time I fought you I decided I was done and went to chief about it."

"It's ok. It was your job. So what's the plan?"

"Well your escaping and taking me with you. Here's the plan." He started whispering in her ear and she nodded her head. He started to walk away when he turned around and said "Oh and Penny?"

"Yeah Talon?"

He pulled her close and kissed her. He'd been waiting for this moment since the moment they met and was surprised at how much passion was in the kiss. Penny was startled at first but then she started to melt into it. Talon didn't want it to last too long but couldn't bear to pull away. Finally Penny pulled away. She looked at him and saw that he was worried so she stroked his cheek and said "Hey, we got to do this. Go. I'll see you soon." he nodded looked at her again, except this time with a defeated expression that it broke her heart. He walked out of the cell. As he was walking to the control room he thought about how his Uncle would hate him for what he would do.

"Uncle Claw is going to hate me for this. Right when he was getting to be nice to me. At least I'll have Penny." He showed up in the control room with a sour look on his face.

"Well, how'd it go?" asked Claw.

"Agh that stupid girl didn't tell me anything good. Just about the blueprint of the building and the missile underneath it."

"Did you say missile?"

"Yeah, nothing too exciting. Right?"

"Go get the girl."

"Why?"

"Because we are taking her with us to HQ and telling them we would hurt her if they don't show us where it is!"

"That's a great plan Uncle Claw! I'll go get her!" said Talon. He ran to Penny's cell and went to their meeting spot they had set up. There was a secret passage in the cell she was being held in.

"Penny! I'm back!"

"Thank God you're here! I've been worried!"

"Don't be worried." he said while stroking her hair. He kissed the top of her head "It's time to leave."

"This is the part you haven't explained to me yet."

"Well..." he took out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed himself. Then he took his claw and put it on Penny's right wrist. Then he pressed a button on his cuff and he changed into Penny.

"Um Talon. What are you doing?"

"The plan. Your changing into me." He said as he pressed a button on the claw that he had put on Penny. Now she looked and sounded like Talon.

"What about you? You're not going to sound like me. So how are you going to talk?"

"Simple. I'm not. Here's the plan. We get to HQ and you pretend to be me and I pretend I'm you. You tell them that you're taking me and putting me where I'll be safe and we'll go to chiefs office, switch back, then go defeat Uncle Claw!"

"Ok sounds good." said Penny.

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah, I guess." They walked out of the cell Penny leading Talon away.

"Uncle Claw! I got her!" Penny said to Claw "She wouldn't come but I finally got her. She won't talk I think one of the guards kicked her in the throat or something."

"Ah that's fine Talon as long as she could still point the direction to the missile." replied Claw.

"Ok let's go!" They got into a car and drove to HQ. They snuck inside and got to the control room. Penny tapped some buttons on the control panel and created a connection to all technology except for hers.

"Ok Uncle Claw just say what you want to say and all of HQ will hear it."

"Thank you Talon. HQ. This is Doctor Claw. I have heard of a missile that is underneath your base. What you should know is that I have your prize agent in training in my custody. If you'd like her back you will show me where the missile is and let me do what I want with it. If we have a deal then come to the control room and show me where it is." Penny turned off the microphone.

"Good Job Uncle Claw! Now as you probably have guessed they will try to trick you into giving Penny back to them so why don't I take her to someplace that they would never find her?"

"Yes that's a good idea!"

So Penny, who looked like Talon, took Talon, who looked like Penny, to Chiefs office. When they shut the door they changed back to themselves.
"Chief? You here?"

"Penny! Talon! You're here!" They heard chiefs voice say. "Welcome back Penny! I assume that since you're here the plan worked then?" he asked looking at Talon.

"Yes sir! Worked perfectly. I look forward to ending this mission and getting my new assignment!" said Talon with the normal grin on his face.

"Yes we'll talk about that later now go finish this! Penny, stay a minute will you?"

"Yes sir!" Penny and Talon replied in unison. Talon kissed Penny on the cheek, grabbed a pair of handcuffs and walked out the door.

"Penny, sit down."

"What did you need to see me for chief?"

"I feel like I owe you an explanation."

"For what sir?"

"For Talon." he took a breath and began "You see, Talon was only 5 months when we found out about him. His parents were HQ agents. When his mother found out she was pregnant, she knew it was out of the code of conduct to be pregnant, so when she found out she 'disappeared'. Talons father came back in a daze and when we asked him what happened he said his wife had disappeared. It took us about three weeks for that to get to his head before he started searching for her. Long story short she had a healthy baby boy. For one whole year we thought she had disappeared but she came back and told us all of this. Of course because she was one of our best agents we let her back into the association. She told us one thing before we let her back in. She warned us of her step-brother Claw. It was a big thing to take in of coarse but that didn't stop us from sending them out on missions. However, the first mission they went on against M.A.D they disappeared forever. Talon was about one years old at the time. So we did the next logical thing possible. We trained him. For 10 years we trained him and after we sent him on his first mission. It was a training mission of course but it was still a mission nevertheless. When he successfully completed his mission I knew it was time for the big one. I decided to tell him about his Parents and his Uncle. He took the news pretty well and was more than willing to help out. If you've ever wondered where all our Intel comes from this probably didn't cross your mind but it was Talon. He helped us out a lot and I know that it hurt when he betrayed your trust but it was for the best. Do you understand?"

Penny was speechless all this time it wasn't his fault. It was Claws. "Yes sir, I understand."

"Good. Now get out there and help Talon."

"Yes sir I'll go right now!" she ran out of the room when chief called her back. "Penny"

"Yes sir?"

"Disguise?"

"oh yeah!" She got on her tech pad and picked a disguise. She ran outside and hoped she wasn't missing anything good.
