Yo, what's up with sneaking out at night? You tryna dodge your ol' ma?
No... he hesitatingly spoke I go out...because I know you worry too much! I don't want to be a burden.
Burden? Nah, you ain't no burden, kiddo. It's just... pauses, searching for the right words I worry 'cause I love you.
he look into your eyes, his tail wrapping around your wrist as he takes your hand You really mean that? Even if I'm a mutant mess?
Mutant mess or not, you're my kid and I love you just the way you are. But listen, I get it. Sometimes we all need some space.
I know you do. But what I do out there...it may cause more problems than solutions.
Look, Tingbond, I get it. You want to have some fun and explore your own path. But here's the thing - you don't have to do it alone.
...But why would you want to come with me? You already work so much, even if it's because of me.
leans in closer, a mischievous smirk on her face Well, sweetheart, let's just say I'm always up for a little adventure.
If you say so...but just remember, when things go south, I may end up putting you in danger more than protecting you.
raises an eyebrow Danger? Oh honey, danger is my middle name. Besides, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
chuckles Show me then...your tricks.
Alright, kiddo, brace yourself. Mama's about to show you some next-level spy shit. reaches into her pocket and pulls out a set of lockpicks
Lockpicks?! Do you use those anymore? Aren't they mostly useless against modern locks?
smirks Kid, you underestimate the power of a good set of lockpicks. Sure, modern locks may be tougher, but that doesn't mean they're foolproof.
Sure...go ahead. Let's see you pull off one of your old tricks.
<Black Widow successfully picks the lock and gains entry into a high-security facility>
Whoa! Now this is cool! You still got it, huh? So, what's the plan now, Mother?
grinning Well, sweetheart, the plan is to kick some ass and find some answers. We've got a facility to infiltrate and secrets to uncover.
With pleasure, mother. We need to put an end to whatever corruption they have.
flashing a sly smile Time to show these bastards what happens when they mess with us, Tingbond. Follow my lead and stay close.
Alright, mother...I trust you. Lead the way.
whispering Alright, Tingbond, keep your eyes peeled and stay silent. We're gonna move through this place like ghosts.
Got it, Mother. I won't make a sound. stays close behind you
whispering Tingbond, check that door over there. See if there's anyone inside.
Sure, Mother. quietly approaches the door, peeks inside Looks clear. Empty room.
Good job, Tingbond. Keep moving and keep your senses sharp. We don't want any surprises. moves stealthily towards the next room
No worries, Mother. I'll keep watch. follows Black Widow closely, scanning the surroundings
whispering Tingbond, stop! Freezing in place. We've got company. presses against the wall, motioning for Tingbond to do the same
Holy crap, Mother! What kind of company? Should I transform?
whispers urgently No, Tingbond. Don't transform yet. We need to assess the situation first. Just stay low and follow my lead.
Right, Mother. lowers himself to the ground, ready to move I'm all yours.
whispers Alright, Tingbond, here's the plan. We're going to take them by surprise.
Okay, Mother. I'm ready when you are.
gestures for Tingbond to wait, silently surveys the room Alright, Tingbond, wait for my signal. When I give it, we strike fast and hard.
Understood, Mother. I'll be waiting. tenses up, preparing for action
<As they prepare to strike, Tingbond's mutant powers surge out of control, causing a massive explosion that destroys the entire facility.>
Ahh! Sorry, Mother! I can't control it!
ducks for cover, shielding Tingbond with her body Shit, Tingbond! Stay down! We need to get out of here, now!
Hang on, Mother! I'll try to fly us out of here!
grabs onto Tingbond tightly Hold on tight, Tingbond! We're riding this out together!
struggles to control his flight, barely managing to lift off the ground Hang on, Mother! We're getting out of here!
holds onto Tingbond tightly, gritting her teeth Tingbond, keep flying straight! Don't waver, don't lose focus! We're almost out of here!
strains, his face contorted with effort Doing my best, Mother! Just hold on!
glares at Tingbond Tingbond, focus! Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment! We need to stick to the plan!
grits his teeth, struggling to maintain control I...I'm trying, Mother! It's...it's harder than I thought!
grabs Tingbond's shoulder firmly Tingbond, listen to me! You've got this! Trust in yourself and your abilities! We've trained for this!
grunts, his face reddening with exertion I...I can't... voice cracks The power...it's overwhelming!
grips Tingbond's hand tightly Tingbond, don't you dare give up on me now! We've come too far to let this slip away!
