Chapter 2: Dirty Rat
Sheldon was busy working at the house of Dr. Wakeman. The scientist was out with Jenny having gone to a conference. All that Sheldon had to do as Wakeman's assistant was just keep the house clean. Below his abilities but there wasn't much else to do. He was just sweeping the floor with a trusty old broom when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He spun around to see nothing, no one was there. He scratched his head in confusion, no one else was in the house and even Brad and Tuck wouldn't be out of school for a while. Then he felt another tap on his shoulder and spun again.
"What's going on?" He asked to thin air.
"Oh come on Shell. You're suppose to be smart." Said a feminine and teasing voice.
Suddenly smoke began to rise around him.
Soon the smoke began to take the familiar shape of Misty.
"How did you get in here?! I had the door locked." Sheldon questioned.
Misty raised an eye brow, "Remember? I'm Misty. Like mist. I can turn into mist, I just seeped from under the door. This place doesn't have the best security."
"Why didn't you just knock? I'd let you in."
"Oh I didn't feel like waiting." She waved him off. "Now Shell I have a something for you to do."
"Oh all right."
"Good, let's go the kitchen and you can make me lunch."
"What?"
Misty was hired by Sheldon so she could teach him to be hero but he had the feeling that she was just treating him like a pet or a servant. Sheldon was a push over so he did end up making her lunch.
As they scurried into the kitchen they didn't know something else scurried into the house.
A few minutes later Misty was eating a sandwich made for her by Sheldon.
"This is really good." Misty complimented with a mouthful of sandwich.
"It's just a sandwich. Why did you come here today? Just to get a free lunch?"
"No, your suit was smashed so I thought I'd help you out."
"It's not." Sheldon corrected her. "I fixed my suit up. I even added a few things."
"Let me see this new suit."
"Sure." Sheldon shrugged.
They started to walked towards the back of the house and they talked.
"All right even with a suit you need to learn how to act on your own." Misty began, " You can't alway depend on that shiny suit of yours. It broke once it make break again and you might end up dead. You're not that strong." Misty grabbed his arm and checked his muscle. "Nope, you are kind of fast though. You're smart so use that."
That was when they reached the storage closet in the back that Sheldon kept his Silver Shell suit while he repaired it. The large silver suit stood before them glimmering as it were really made out of silver. The suit was so big and bulky it could easily be mistaken for a tank rather than a robot.
"So what do you think?" Sheldon said smug.
"It's not bad."
"It's not bad? It's easily the best thing I ever built."
"It's great, sure, but technology will always let you down."
"How can you even say that?!"
Her words had some wisdom behind them as the Silver Shell Suit's eyes started to glow taking them both by surprise. Not as much surprise as when the suits hands grabbed them. The suit's hands were big enough that the fingers wrapped around their entire bodies.
"What's going on?" Sheldon asked confused.
That's when a laughter was heard from inside the suit.
"I think someone is in your suit." Misty guessed.
The suit's head lifted up releasing a great deal of steam, the steam eventually dissolved revealing a very tiny head.
"You are correct you purple haired girl." A rat said.
"That's a rat." Misty pointed it out like it needed to be said. "And it sounds Russian."
"Wait," Sheldon asked. "Are you Mister Scruffles?"
"No!" The rat yelled. "I no longer go by that clownish lab giving name."
"Whose Mister Scruffles?" Misty asked.
"Brad told me about it. He's one of Dr. Wakeman's mutated lab rats. He stole Jenny's body and tried to get revenge for being mutated."
"I will not be called Mister Scruffles! I am Vladimir!" The rat insisted. "I came here to destroy Wakeman but I stumbled upon this new suit. Truly a work of art and much easier to work that XJ-9, now I will destroy everything she has built with her own creation"
"Actually I built that." Sheldon spoke up.
"Really? It's very nice. Very user friendly."
"Thanks."
"Girls." Misty told them snidely. "I think we were in the middle of something. Have your chat later."
"Oh right." Vladimir continued getting serious. "Where is Wakeman?"
"She's not here." Sheldon said plainly. "She's at a conference out of town."
"Ok, where is XJ-9?"
"Jenny is with Wakeman."
"Fine, I'll just go with my plan without them. I'll just use this suit to overload the nuclear reactor beneath the house and escape before it blows. Ka boom!"
Deciding to ignore why there was a nuclear reactor under the house Misty decided to act. "I don't think so." She simply turned to mist again escaping from the iron grip. Reforming she reached for the little rat. Just as she was about to reach Vladimir Sheldon was tossed right at her like he was some sort of dodgeball she failed to doge. It was enough for that it slammed them to the wall.
Vladimir laughed loudly finding them knocked out. "No, it is I who does not think so."
Misty was tough but still being hit by someone's full body knocked her out. So when she came to a few minutes later she came to with a ringing in her head. She cracked open her eyes to find that they had a tumble and bounced off the wall leaving her to fall onto Sheldon. She found her head resting right on his chest. She pulled way right back to the wall with a face freshly red when she realized it. It only took her a second to snap out of it before the alien bolt right back to Sheldon's side.
She nudged him worried, "Sheldon! Wake up."
"Uh?" Sheldon groggily came to.
"Shell." Misty sighed relived. "Are you go to go?"
"Yeah, I'm used to getting tossed around." Sheldon started to get up wobbly.
"Good we have to go that lab rat said he was about to blow up a nuclear reactor. That doesn't sound good."
"No, the reactor is what Dr. Wakeman uses to power the house and lab. It could blow the the house, the neighborhood maybe even the city."
"Then stop talking and leading the way to the waiting time bomb."
Sheldon and Misty took of as Sheldon lead the way to the basement. They found Vladimir messing with the controls. The alarms were already ringing and lights were flashing. In the center there was a glass chamber with a glowing chunk in the middle connected to the machine.
"I'll take care of the rat you just make sure the reactor doesn't go boom." Misty whispered to Sheldon.
"Got it." was his unsure reply.
Misty turned back into mist and quickly spread across the floor inching closer to the machine. Seeping over the suit she carefully reached towards Vladimir.
"I think not." Vladimir sniffing his nose at the air and pressed a button on the suits controls. A large fan popped out of the and started spinning, the wild gust of wind newly created blew away the foggy Misty. She did the best she could to struggle against it but that was a loosing battle. She was forced to change back to her normal form or be forced into being dispersed all around the room and she didn't want to do that.
"Thank you for becoming a more solid target." With a quick turn the chest canon popped out and fired at Misty.
Luckily Misty could still fly and that was saved her, Vladimir continued to shot at her but she dodged it, she zigged and zagged the shots.
"It is too late!" Vladimir screamed. "This whole place will go up. You can run right now and you might still survive."
Misty wasn't the idealistic hero she started out as, she didn't save people because it was right thing to do but because she could make a living. The last time she did anything truly heroic was when she joined up with Sheldon and saved the world from a Cluster invasion and that was more out of her own survival than heroism. The reason she stayed was because of him.
"Are you done there yet?" Misty called out.
"Almost." Sheldon told her from the control panel having snuck past them as their fight began.
"Huh?" The rodent turned his head as the alarms began to turn off.
"Done." Sheldon said assured.
Sheldon is very smart and lucky for everyone near that nuclear reactor he smart enough to know how to turn it off.
"You little pest!" Vladimir shouted, like he was one to talk.
Angry he moved the suit's fist to punch Sheldon and it was aimed dead center. Misty jumped at him in a vain attempt to save Sheldon, he might be able to take some damage but punch from the suit at that range would likely leave him in the hospital or the morgue.
Misty had described Sheldon as smart and kind of fast both statement were accurate. Sheldon was smart enough to build the Silver Shell suit and to know its exact capabilities, so he knew how fast the punch would come. He was also fast enough to know how to dodge it. So barely moving out of the way of the punch he let the control panel get hit instead. As sparks shot out, he also knew what else would happen.
The metal fist made a circuit for the electricity to travel and as electricity travel through the suit's shell it hit the small rodent. The suit could take an electrical current but it wouldn't protect the user if the suit wasn't fully covered so bad news for the rat who left the head off. The result was a friend control panel and a squealing rat.
"Ow." Vladimir twitched as his fur was turned black and slightly fried as the current died.
Sheldon climbed up his suit and plucked out the rat. "Now I saw a nice cage for you upstairs."
Misty blinked at Sheldon as he climbed back down the suit. Her heart was racing, she was really scared. She was really scared that Sheldon would be hurt. She calmed down seeing Sheldon smile with the rat in his hand.
"You see? Don't depend so much on your suit." She told him. "Which is good cause it looks like it broken again."
"Yeah. Oh well. I'll just have to make it better."
They made their way back upstairs. Misty followed him. She was trying to figure out why she was so scared of Sheldon being hurt, she had an idea why but that scared her too. For the moment she decided to stay by him. Only time would tell if anything would come from her new feelings. She didn't care about being a hero but she still wanted to protect him.
