2: Three giant rodents - a couple of meters tall
Author's pov:
"Is she okay?" Ava heard someone asking when she was about to wake up. "Seems like it.. But for now.. Will she be okay?" Someone else said when she started to open her eyes. She felt like she was laying on the ground, halfway sitting against a tree. "A Tree?!" She thought to herself but then wondered why that was the first thing that seemed suspicious, not like who was talking or something like that.
"Calm down guys.. She's waking up" Third voice said when she finally got her eyes opened. "Umm... Where am I.." She lifted her hand to rub her forehead while sitting up. "Don't get up too fast, ma'am.." The Second voice said but the first one continued right away. "Yea! You might get dizzy if you do that.." The Voice said which she noticed to be familiar. Or actually each of them were quite familiar but that one was like she had talked to just before her vision had got all black.
When she turned to look at who were talking to her, she saw three giant mice leaning against three motorcycles. "How did I end up in the park?" She asked when she noticed their surroundings. "How adorable is that.. The first thing you think that's weird in here" The First voice said, which she noticed to belong to a white furred mouse.
"Nah.. The First one is actually my headache.. What the hell happened.." Ava said while still rubbing her head. "Mind your language, ma'am.." The Second one said, which made her turn to look at who was talking. The Most biggest one of them, a gray furred mouse with only one eye and a mechanic arm.
"A Ma'am?! I don't see any ma'am's here.." Ava grunted while she leaned against the tree with her hand and tried to get up. "I remember that I was going to buy some cleaning supplies and other things.. But now it seems like I ran into three cosplayers.. I knew this city had weird things happening here but this.." She said after she had managed to get up while still leaning against the tree with her hand. And with her left hand she was leaning against her left knee.
"Cosplayers?! What's a cosplayer?" The White one said and turned to look at the tan furred one, who wore glasses, and who shrugged. "I saw them on TV once.. There was some news about some kind of event where people gather together, and those people are wearing some costumes from any kind of show or a movie.. Or something like that.." The Gray furred one explained making the white furred one twitch his nose while the tan furred one shook their head.
"Cons.. You mean cons by those events.." Ava added but then her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "No.. No.. You are not telling me that you three are real?!" She said while pointing at the three mice with their motorcycles. The White one swung their tail and smirked curiously. The swing didn't get unnoticed by the woman.
"Take it easy.. We are not going to hurt you.." The Gray one said but then the tan furred one got up from leaning against his bike. "Don't come any closer!!" Ava panicked and got her hands ready to defend herself with mortal combat talents she had. "And I thought we were called the crazy ones.." The White one chuckled and crossed his arms.
"You hurt your head while fainting, did you?" The Tan furred one said calmly while staying still, even if he just looked like he would walk to the woman and do something. But his voice told otherwise since he seemed so calm. It made Ava calm down a bit and put her hands down, but soon she crossed them while lifting her other eyebrow. Her favorite cartoon show was clearly in her mind right now.
"Don't change the subject.. You are the Biker Mice, aren't you? Biker Mice from Mars?" She said making the mice turn to look at each other which made her even more suspicious. "How can she know about us?" The White one whispered but Ava didn't hear that. She wasn't good at reading from the lips either. And theirs happened to be quite hairy ones.. Not making the reading part any easier.
She saw the tan furred one shaking his head again before turning to look at her again. "Yes, we are.." He said making her start laughing. "And I'm the president! Do you guys really think I'll buy that bullshit?! Your costumes look very cool, I have to admit.. But no.. That's just a show!" She said while she walked to the males.
"This is going to be interesting.." The White one smirked while swinging his tail. "And those mechanical tails.. I don't know how you made them, but you must be very creative!" Ava said while looking at their bodies curiously. All three of them were just curiously listening and looking at the woman, who clearly had no idea about how screwed she was.
"Wow.. This fur had very good quality.. No wonder Europeans order so much stuff from here.. Even the fabrics are on the other level.." She said while gently petting Throttle's arm. "Does it feel almost real?" The White one said while grinning. The other two had a hard time not to laugh, but they ended up following her doings curiously.
"It does!" Ava said while he turned to look at the white one. "Vinnie was it? Of course it was.. And you two must be Modo and Throttle, right?" She said while walking to the white furred male. Meanwhile the other two lifted their eyebrows and looked suspiciously at the girl. "How come she knows our names?" The Gray furred one said but the tan furred just turned to look at the woman again.
"Yes.." A Guy called Throttle said while Ava was gently touching Vinnie's face plate.. "Have you ever heard a word of privacy, huh?" The Male said while leaning backwards so she couldn't reach his face. "Sorry.. It.. It just looks so real.." Ava said awkwardly while taking a step back. Vinnie just smirked at her and didn't look like he was hurt, even if half of his face was quite a sensitive topic to him. He liked to get attention from women, but he preferred them to touch somewhere else than the side of his face that he had got injured in war.
"You can look at my arm if you want?" The Gray one suggested after noticing the woman got a little upset about she had been rude. "Is.. Is it okay?" She said and looked a bit curious again. Throttle was looking at Modo with a suspicious look. "Is that a good idea? I don't want to break it or anything.." Ava said making Vinnie chuckle again. "You should be very strong if you manage to do that, Beautiful!" He said but didn't get any answer since the woman had already walked to Modo.
"This is made from actual metal! But how?! Are you some kind of smith or something? But I have to admit that your costume making skills are on a brand new level!" Ava said but when Modo pulled the gun out of his mechanic arm and lifted it from Ava's hands, he shot a small stone on the ground next to them. That made Ava's eyes wide up again.
"You.. You guys... You are real..." She started to mumble while taking a couple of steps backward. "And that was where she noticed it?!" Vinnie growled and acted like he was hurt, meanwhile Throttle and Modo just chuckled to his reaction. "The Biker Mice.. They are real.. How they are real.." Ava was about to panic and faint again, but when she started to fall, she felt someone's arms around her.
"Are you feeling dizzy again, young lady?" Throttle asked but got a bitch slap as an answer. His glasses dropped to the ground which made him squint his eyes. "I like her already! She is a sassy one, even if she attacked the blindest of us.." Vinnie smirked making her lift her right hand on her mouth after realizing what she had just done.
"Oh my God.. You really don't see without the specs?! I'm so sorry!!" Ava panicked when Modo handed Throttle his specs back. "Yea.. I don't.. But you have quite a touch, young lady.." Throttle chuckled while rubbing his cheek. "Glad they didn't get broken.." Modo said while glaring at the female. "I'm really sorry.. But touching me like that.. I.. I don't like it.." Ava said while looking at Throttle.
"Are you okay?" She added making him nod. "It was my own fault.. My apologies" He said and nodded to the woman making her nod back to him. "But how.. How are you guys real? And here? Or of course you are here if you are real.. This is Chicago after all.. But shouldn't you be on Mars instead? Or.. I am talking too much again, am I not?" Ava hesitated making the males chuckle and turn to look at each other before turning to look at her again.
"Long story very short, we are here to save both of the planets, Mars and Earth.. And yes, you are quite talkative woman, but not in a bad way" Throttle said and smiled at her making her blush a bit. "How do you know us?" Modo asked but then they heard a sound of a message from Vinnie's bike. "Even if we would like to know that, we need to get going guys.." Vinnie said after listening to it with his helmet.
"And I should be buying the cleaning stuff.. But maybe I need some rest first.. This is quite a thing to handle.." Ava sighed and rubbed her forehead again. But when the guys got on their bikes and put their helmets on, she hurried to them. "But is Limburger a real thing too?! I saw the tower before.. Before you saved me.." She asked and turned to look at Vinnie.
"Sorry about the punch by the way.." She said awkwardly and rubbed the back of her neck. "No worries.. Seems like Modo is the only one of us you haven't punched or slapped during the same day.." Vinnie chuckled making her feel a bit more awkward. "There are still hours left for the day, but before that we really need to go. But, Young Lady" Throttle said and turned to look at Ava.
"Hmm? My name is Ava.. Not a Young Lady, Beautiful or a Ma'am.." She said making the male nod to her. "Well.. Ava.. We need to meet you later again to hear about how you know about us and Cheese-head, who also happens to be as real as us.." He said making her hand them her business card. "But I guess you guys don't have a phone?" She added after realizing the fact by herself too, while she didn't hear the rest of Throttle's sentence about what he said about Lawrence Limburger.
"No.. But we know someone who does.. Thanks" Modo said when Throttle took the card and put it inside one of his pockets. "See you later, and stay safe, Beautiful!" Vinnie winked at her when they put their bikes on and drove away from the park. "My name is Ava!!" She shouted after them, even if she wasn't sure they heard it. After that she sighed deeply and noticed that the park was the closest one to her AirBnB where she had still a couple of days to stay before she needed to find some other place to spend her nights and get some sleep.
She felt so weird while walking to her current place. She couldn't believe what had just happened. During the day she had just met her long-time pen pal, but soon after that she had almost faced a collapsing tower on her, not forgetting the guys that had saved her. Three, a couple of meters tall, giant rodents with their motorcycles.. The Heroes of her childhood. The Biker Mice from Mars.
"A Cartoon show.. How great.." She thought to herself when she was searching her keys from her cloth bag. And even if she didn't believe what had just happened, deeply inside of her she knew that things wouldn't be as normal as they used to be..
At the streets of Chicago:
"She was quite cute, wasn't she?" Vinnie grinned while the mice stopped at the red lights. "Vincent.. Don't start that again.." Modo sighed while waiting for the lights to turn green again. "But how did she look so familiar? Have we met her earlier or something?" He continued making the impatient white furred male chuckle.
"I would have remembered that kind of punch anytime if we had met her somewhere!" Vinnie said when the lights finally turned green and they continued driving fast along the streets. "Oh you get punched by girls that often, Vincent?" Modo laughed making him roll his eyes. "Of course not! I mean.. Huh..? Throttle is everything alright or why are you so quiet?" He said while speeding up to drive next to the tan furred male.
"Did the slap affect your specs or something?" Modo asked worriedly when he drove to the other side of him. "No.. They are fine.. I was thinking about how she could know us.." Throttle said making Vinnie chuckle. "Of course ladies will remember us! We are heroes!! The Hottest in the whole Universe! And by that, I mean obviously myself!" He said making the other two turn to look at each other before rolling their eyes and starting laughing at him.
But when they parked their bikes in front of a small building, they heard a familiar voice talking which made all three of them smile immediately. "Hey guys! I just finished fixing the minivan, you can get your bikes back inside!" A woman shouted before opening the large doors of the building that had a huge sign above the doorway which said 'The Last Chance Garage'.
"Thanks, Sweetheart! That's music to my ears!" Vinnie said while driving his bike fast inside after the door had barely even opened fully. "Thank you, Charley-girl. That definitely sounds better for us" Throttle smiled when he saw the brown haired mechanic opening the door for them. "Thank you Charley-ma'am! You are so kind" Modo said after getting inside the garage too with his bike.
"Of course.. This is your home too after all, guys!" Charley smiled when the guys got their bikes back to their normal places, Charley had just cleaned after getting his last client's vehicle off there. "You don't believe what we just saw today!" Vinnie started but got a glare from Throttle. "Who.. Not 'what' Vincent.." He corrected but got a glare back from him. "I was talking about the Cheese-head's machine! Not her!" He said but then grinned after realizing something.
"Wa ho hoo! You are just thinking about her, aren't you?!" He said while all of them were walking to the kitchen. "Who?" Charley said while she had the dinner served ready for the males. "We saved a woman from a collapsing Limburger tower today.. Ava was her name right?" Modo said when they started to eat some hotdogs Charley had made for them.
"Ava?" Charley said while her eyes widened. "Yeah! She was quite a sassy woman! And now our commander can't get his thoughts away from her" Vinnie laughed while opening some bottles of root beer to all of them, mostly to himself. "No.. I'm just thinking about how she knew us before.." He said making Charley turn to look at him. "Maybe you have saved her earlier too?" She suggested and definitely hoped that they weren't thinking about the same woman called Ava.
"She seemed familiar though.. But from where?" Modo said before stuffing a whole hotdog in his mouth at once. "We would remember it if it was something important! Now let's eat!!" Vinnie continued eating too while Charley rolled her eyes. "You wouldn't even remember where you put your tail if it wasn't attached to you!" She said making Throttle and Modo laugh with her too, while Vinnie just rolled his eyes and chuckled.
But where did Modo almost remember the woman? Throttle definitely remembered her, but how come she knew them before? Had they met somewhere in their past? Meanwhile Charley hoped that it wasn't her friend Ava, the guys were talking about. Because these guys were Charley's secret she hadn't told her friend about.. But now if there was even a small chance that they had met each other, she would get to know more about it sooner or later!
