Chameleon is slowly crawling up the Crimson-Cloud hotel, a skyscraper with almost only windows… or at least where she is climbing, or for most of the climb.
Showing of her enchanting and curvaceous figure while crawling and Nightknight shows up floating next to her.
(Nightknight:)”Hi, do you need some help getting up?” (Chameleon:)”No, I am fine on my own. I can stick to the windows and climb.”
(Nightknight:)”Yeah I believe you, but you are kind of slow and the disaster is going on while you waste time. Actually why are you so slow?”
Chameleon turns around looking at the casual Nightknight behind her, his cape flowing in the wind behind him and dark burning clouds below his feet holding him up.
(Chameleon:)”I can climb perfectly, but windows… are slippery and scary. I did not expect to actually slow down like this from fear of falling.”
(Nightknight:)”But you are not going to slip, so why?” (Chameleon:)”The fear of falling and that I am not built to survive a fall like this is slowing me down.”
(Nightknight:)”OK, then I am gonna pick you up.” (Chameleon:)”Wait, I have not-!” Before she finishes, she is picked up by Nightknight and he flies at an extreme speed up the skyscraper.
And Chameleon screams. (Chameleon:)”I was not ready! Don’t just pick people off of scary places without their consent! Aaaaaaaahh!”
In an incredibly short time, like a rocket up the building; they appear at the top, where Brightman is slowly working on some doomsday device trying to disarm it.
Brightman looks over at Nightknight and Chameleon. (Brightman:)”What are you guys doing?”
Nightknight still holding the limp Chameleon as a bag under his arm and Chameleon slowly regaining clarity of mind, feels ashamed for screaming and almost crying.
(Nightknight:)”I picked up a crocodile skin purse, probably really expensive.” Nightknight jokes and Chameleon feels even more ashamed but kind of interested in the sociality of her idols.
(Brightman:)”That is definitely not crocodile, Chameleon why are you here?” Chameleon still feeling really weird and still being held by Nightknight.
(Chameleon:)”Uh, I was in the neighborhood?” She says the first excuse she comes up with. (Brightman:)”Lies, and Nightknight drop the purse, someone might be looking for it.”
Brightman jokes back and Chameleon almost laughs before she is suddenly dropped on the floor with no warning, but with her reaction speed she lands perfectly on her feet.
(Nightknight:)”I found her climbing the building at a snail’s speed, so I picked her up thinking that she could help deactivate the doomsday device.”
Brightman glances at Chameleon. (Brightman:)”You know about mechanical engineering or bomb disarming?”
Chameleon nods while observing the radio tower like machine, quickly sitting herself down and starting to pull out wires after wires unplugging what she knows she can.
Brightman is glad that there is another science geek amongst the heroes of Farlong, while Nightknight looks on embarrassed while being almost useless.
Chameleon finds it kind of fun being around Brightman and Nightknight, they are much more fun than they seem on TV; still disturbed by Nightknight probably knowing her identity.
(Chameleon:)”How about you do the programming and I do the simple engineering/dismantling?”
Brightman nods before sliding his finger against a main power box of the doomsday device and golden light flow into the box.
And with an explosion of holy power, a golden screen hovers above the box; another explosion of holy powers and a golden keyboard hovers above the box slightly below the golden screen.
Not expecting this holy programing method, Chameleon widens her eyes at this unscientific method before shaking her head ignoring the crazy ways of superheroes.
And while feeling too useless, Nightknight decides to pull a random wire royally scaring Chameleon, but not able to stop him she stands frozen waiting for an explosion… and nothing.
Looking oddly at Nightknight before. (Chameleon:)”Do you understand how this thing works?” Nightknight shakes his head and Chameleon panics slightly.
(Brightman:)”Don’t bother about him, he can succeed without knowing what he is doing. A random action of his boosted through luck enhancing spell.
He won’t fuck up ever, or almost never. It truly is insane and unscientific how stupid he can be yet accurately work with scientific tools.” He mutters, but all those around can hear.
Chameleon glances at Nightknight and then back at Brightman, still programing with his holy hacking ability?
(Chameleon:)”Says the guy who is using miracles to program a looping script to break the functions of the program.”
(Brightman:)”Wow you understand and… I love science, he is the one that always break the laws of physics and has no remorse for it.”
Brightman sulks like a child, being compared to Nightknight’s unscientific ways. (Nightknight:)”Ha! See you are just as unscientific as me, actually even more than me.
Magic is just science which is not understood yet, I promise that magic will be understood by science long before miracles are. I guarantee this with my future sight.”
Laughing uproariously at Brightman’s plight while Chameleon watch their childish argument, it all feels so surreal and dreamlike.
Who would have thought that Brightman loves science and that he would argue like a child with Nightknight about it.
Nightknight continues pulling random wires or just ripping parts off the doomsday device, while Brightman and Chameleon works on disabling the device.
Working while joking and arguing about magic and miracles, now finally Nightknight will have his revenge for all the shit he has got for his magic.
Chameleon supports him in many of his argument against Brightman, Chameleon enjoys arguing with them; it was a great day for Farlong to almost explode.
