Meeting an Idol

(Closed starter for @0mnitrixter )

Amanda couldn’t believe it when she was asked to deliver a piece of tech to Ben Tennyson. Ben, freaking, Tennyson. A hero she’d always looked up to, but even more now with the Fusion invasion.

Maybe he could give her pointers on fighting aliens. Specifically the Fusions.

She quickly spotted the hero and smiled, waving at him. “Ben! I got you somethin’ from Dexter!” As she hurried over she pulled the device from her inventory.

“Can I just say, I’m a huge fan of yours and it’s an honor to meet you~”

Ben was looking at his phone, sitting on the border of the fountain in the middle of the Offworld Plaza square. It had been a quiet morning, few recruits were around, and fusions seemed to be tamer than usual.

The, a voice made him raise his head. He smiled at the girl, putting his phone away and getting up, walking up to her.

He took the device and smiled brightly at her. “Oh yeah? That’s awesome!” Oh man, how many times had he heard that from the kids running around? At first, it was flattering, then it became almost… annoying, for how many times people started talking to him like that. Still, he pulled his best hero attitude out, looking all proud and confident.

“I’m glad you managed to arrive here in one piece!” he joked. “If you want, there’s something to eat in the building. You can have a little rest while I ask Dexter what he needs.”

She gave him a bit of a shy smile, though a bit of excitement came over her when he mentioned food. “Oh man. I’m starving.” Honestly? She had forgotten to eat all day. Though this was normal for her, seeming she’d gotten used to using her Nanos to just heal her along with eating a protein bar when she was starting to feel fatigue or hunger pains.

“Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.” Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth she headed straight to the building and got herself something real to eat and plenty of it.

Lenny looked over at the girl, trying to imagine what kind of information the files contained but he refrained from staring at it for too long. Instead, he turned to face her, his brow furrowing as he noticed a hint of unusual anxiety in her voice. This must have been a big deal. The boy listened to her words carefully as she explained the seriousness of the situation. If what Amanda said was true, then he knew she would probably have to go in hiding for some time.  “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re trying to say goodbye to us.” He began with what would be considered a frown, most of it hidden behind his helmet. “I do know, yes..And I have learned to appreciate y-you too. That includes the choices you make.” Even if it was a decision he was afraid of her making. “As long as you’ve thought it over for some time, I don’t see why you shouldn’t turn in the files.”

“I hope not...” She honestly didn’t want to have to leave, but it might just come down to that. It’s one of the outcomes she feared.

Hearing him say he appreciated her made her smile some, but all in all it made what she had to say even harder.

She looked at him, turning her attention away from the file. “It’s something I’ve known for a long time I’d have to eventually tell you and Father... I’ve just never known how to. I still really don’t but... it can’t wait any longer.”

She took in a deep breath, trying to steady herself. Trying to find her words. After a few moments she pulled a sheet from the file. Information on the Teens Next Door and it’s mission, how it works and how recruiting decisions were made. After giving him a chance to look it over she spoke again. “I’m a traitor... all because I met you... and I don’t regret it.” She looked and sounded serious. “Honestly... I’m more scared of hurting y’all than anything they could ever do to me after I turn this in.”

Amanda needed a break. This last long term mission was exhausting and she hurt. She planned to ask for a vacation as payment for this one. Even though she’d probably spend most of it around there, it wouldn’t be on duty and that’s what mattered.

She was heading towards Father’s office when she got a sudden chill before turning a corner and running right into… FATHER?! “I am so sorry, sir! I didn’t see… why are you cold?” Wait… He didn’t look right. The color. She internally just button mashed before getting her thoughts together. “Apologies. I didn’t mean to run into you. I’m Amanda. Is Father in his office?”

Of course she was much more aware of her surroundings than most other teens, even Teen Ninjas. One of the reasons Father trusted her with stealth missions like the last one. Especially lately, since her reports have been increasingly more detailed over the last few months. She played with the thick manila folder she held. Her report.

Brother? She had found out through the grape vine that Monty Uno was Father’s brother because of what happened with Grandfather a couple years back, but she hadn’t known they had another... Although to pry into that wouldn’t be professional or proper so she left it alone.

When she was informed she’d missed Father her nose scrunched a bit, even if she was early for their meeting. She wasn’t being rude nor impatient, she just hadn’t expected him to not be there today.

“Oh. Well... I’d really prefer to hand this directly to Father so you don’t have to worry about any extra work.” Honestly she had a LOT to explain along with this report and she’d rather him hear it straight from her.

Ben was trying to tend to his mother’s roses as he talked with his twin. “Ow!” He stuck his finger in his mouth. Again. He kept pricking himself with the thorns. He always did while tending to the roses. His small hands didn’t fit the gardener’s gloves.

“I wish the staff trimmed these properly…” He complained. Again. He always said that at least once while tending to the bushes. He was right though. They neglected the roses since she died. Other than keeping them shaped, they never trimmed the dead pieces anymore. Being in the back of the garden they were left to die. And they would have already if it weren’t for him and Benny.

He opened his mouth to continue their conversation but was interrupted by a crash closer to the pond. It sounded like a jock had trampled through the hedge.

“What was that?”

Amanda was exhausted. She held a manila folder, a report, in her hands. It was thicker than any other report she’d ever written. Since she’d talked to Bruce about being a part of the TND and her feelings about the Next Door organization her reports had been getting more and more detailed, getting Father to send her on more and more missions.

This last one was long and fully stealth and info gathering. Info being held by Numbuh Infinity and a few other high ranking KND members.

She saw Lenny sitting in the living room as she passed it. She looked at her phone. She didn’t meet with Father for another hour. As always, she was early. Normally Father allowed her to turn in her reports when she arrived, early or not, but today... She’d missed her friend.
