They always carried that nickname. But the team had no idea how fitting it was

THE WONDER TWINS

Downtown Los Angeles, Saturday Afternoon

The bustling streets of Downtown Los Angeles were home to a sea of people enjoying their day. Some were working on the weekend, others were sightseeing, and even others were just walking around with no particular agenda in mind. A tall blonde man in glasses and the short red headed woman his arm was wrapped around fell squarely in category 3.

"Such a nice day out today. Im glad we got this chance to just explore downtown." Nell mused as they walked past building after building.

"Yea, It's nice to just let our feet do the deciding." Eric replied.

"Well I don't know about your feet, Wolfram, but mine are making their way for a gyro." Nell smiled up at him.

"My feet are not going to argue there, Rockstar. Lead the way." He kissed her on the crown of the head. She slipped out from his arm and took his hand, their fingers intertwining together. She pulled him down the sidewalk and around the corner toward a Greek place a friend of hers had recommended.

They were just about to cross the street when they heard sirens. Mere seconds after 4 LAPD cars came flying past them at a high rate of speed.

"Woah. Wonder what that is about?" Nell asked as they looked in the direction where the cars went.

Eric pressed a button on the headset he was wearing. He listened for a few moments before turning to her.

"Gyros might have to wait. Looks like a Robbery in progress at First National Bank 3 blocks from here." Eric said.

"How many?" Nell asked him.

"6. They have a few hostages and apparently explosives." He continued.

"Only 6? Last time was 10." Nell smiled.

Eric looked around and found a secluded alley. "There." He pointed. Taking her hand they ran into the alley and ducked into a dark alcove.

"You ready for this?" Nell asked him.

"Always am." Eric replied.

Nell pressed a button on her watch while Eric pressed one on his headset. Around both of their wrists materialized a large cuff with a bezel and a display.

"Wonder Twin Powers! Activiate!" They both yelled out at the same time, twisting the bezel. Two holograms displayed showing Eric and Nell but in different costumes. The brought there wrists across their bodies and pressed buttons on the cuffs.

Eric became covered in a white jumpsuit as pieces of technology unfolded around his body. His legs were covered by large boots with different attachments. His torso was covered, his shoulders and arms were covered and finally his head was covered by a helmet.

"Tecnic! Ready!" He yelled out.

Nell's clothes changed into a black jumpsuit as a ring of fire ignited around her. She held her hands up as the ring of fire climbed up her body. She was left wearing a red pair of boots and gloves over her suit. She had a belt with various tools hanging from it around her waist and a mask covered her face. The most notable feature was her hair had grown much longer, almost reaching the ground as well as glowing red hot.

"Ember! Ready!" She yelled out.

From Tecnic's boots unfolded a jetboard that ignited, lifting him off the ground.

"Come on, Let's go!" He said as he took off toward the Bank. Ember levitated off the ground and flew after him.

"Wait for me!" She yelled after him

First National Bank, Downtown Los Angeles.

The LAPD had a perimeter set up around the entrance to the bank.

"This is Lt Roberts of LAPD. You are surrounded. If you give up now I promise it will look favorably upon you at your trial" One of the men said into a loud speaker. He turned to one of his officers. "Anything from Negotation?" He asked.

"No, sir. There is no contact with them at all." The officer said.

He turned to the SWAT commander. "Entry points?" He asked him.

"There is a back door but we confirmed with an employee of the bank that there are security cameras monitoring that entrance. They will see us coming a mile away." The SWAT commander replied.

"It's the Wonder Twins!" One of the bystanders yelled out and pointed to the sky. Everyone looked into the sky to see two figures streaking through the air and crashing through a window on the 5th floor.

A few moments later the LAPD Radio came to life.

"This is Tecnic. Ember and I will disable the robbers and secure the hostages. Have your SWAT team ready to breach on our command." A voice came from the radio.

Roberts keyed the mic. "Copy that. Be careful." He said.

First National Bank, 5th floor.

Tecnic closed the connection to LAPD before holding his palm out scanning above and below them.

"Hostages are 2 floors down in a conference room. Explosives are in sub level. Security systems are also sub level.

"Ok. You go to the sub level, disable the cameras so they can't know what is going on, and disable the bombs. I'll secure the hostages." Ember said.

"Roger." They both took off toward the stairs. Flying down the steps Ember split off on the 3rd floor while Tecnic continued his descent.

Ember snuck through the hallways until she found the conference room. Finding two guards in the room she decided a distraction would be best. Seeing a ladder with tools on it she tipped it over, making a loud crash.

"Go check it." She heard one of the men tell the other.

One of them came out of the room and walked toward the darkened hallway where the nose came. Ember took that moment to jump on him, wrapping her arm around his neck and using her super strength, easily subduing the man. The other man came out a few moments later calling out. Ember grabbed his gun from around the corner, swung it up and hit him in the face before sweeping his feet out from under him and raising her fist to punch him.

"Your friend is a little preoccupied right now. " She said as she pulled a length of cable from her belt and tied the man's hands behind his back. She ran into the room with the hostages and untied them.

"It's ok. You all are going to get out of this alive." She reassured them. After freeing them she brought her fingers to her ear.

"What's your status, Tecnic?" She called.

First National Bank, Security Office.

"Almost done with the security. Bombs are disabled." Tecnic reported.

"Did you run into trouble?" Ember asked.

Tecnic looked over at the pile of unconscious bodies.

"Nope." He said. Typing in a few more commands the cameras all shut off.

"Security is disabled." He reported. He activated the radio outside.

"Hostages are secure, Bombs are neutralized, and Security is disabled. You are clear for breach." He reported to SWAT. Ember walked into the room shortly after.

"Are we going to let LAPD have all the fun?" She said with a grin.

"Of course not. Let's go" He said.

Lobby

4 men patrolled the entrance.

"What is taking them so long to get the codes from the manager?" One said out loud.

"I'm sorry to say he is currently being detained by LAPD, who are on their way here." A voice came from above them. Tecnic and Ember both jumped down and landed in the middle of the lobby facing back to back.

"Oh shit!" One of them said.

"Waste them!" Another said. All 4 started firing at them as Tecnic raised his arms and deployed a shield around them, causing their bullets to stop harmlessly in the energy field. When the 4 had emptied their clips Ember smiled.

"Our turn." She said. Tecnic lowered the shield as Ember flew toward two of them, landing a punch on one of them. Holding her arm out a jet of flame shot out, heating up the gun of the other one quickly enough for him to drop it. She spun around and kicked him in the head, causing him to go flying into the wall.

Tecnic raised his fist and shot it at one of the men as the other ran at him with a knife. Blocking each blow he ducked a swipe at his head before a small launcher came out of his shoulder, shooting the knife out of his hand before shooting a taser bullet at the man, knocking him out. Ember and Tecnic flew out of the room just in time for LAPD to enter and find them all out cold.

Alley 3 blocks away.

Ember and Tecnic landed where they started before pressing the buttons on their cuffs again. They both became enveloped in light before the light faded and they stood back in their regular clothes.

"That was fun." Nell said, a smile on her face.

"Yea. But fighting bad guys gave me an appetite. I believe your feet promised me Gyros." Eric smiled as he took her hand.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" She said as they walked out of the alleyway toward the restaurant.

Mission Bullpen, Monday morning

Callen, Kensi, and Deeks were unpacking their things for the day as Eric and Nell walked in.

"Morning everyone!" Nell called out in her usually cheery voice.

"Hey, it's the Wonder Twins!" Callen said.

"Speaking of the Wonder Twins. Did you guys catch the news last night?" Deeks called from behind them as he walked in.

Sam shook his head. "Nope."

"There was a robbery downtown over the weekend. Apparently the Wonder Twins showed up and took out the robbers before SWAT could even breach the building." Deeks said, excitedly.

"I wonder if the Wonder Twins have any relation to our Wonder Twins." Kensi said, eyeballing Eric and Nell.

Both of them blushed and looked at each other uncomfortably.

"We got to go up to Ops. See if we have any cases. Catch you guys later!" Nell said faster than usual as she pulled Eric along with her. The team could only laugh at their reaction.

This episode I had running through my head a while ago but never got around to making it work. I wanted to go into the more absurd realm by making them heroes. I drew on my childhood love for Power Rangers and other heroes of the 90s when I created their alter egos and how they changed. I hope you all find this one as enjoyable as I have.
