Author's pov:

After smelling a familiar scent of Plutarkian, especially a certain one, the trio got their guns prepared while positioning themselves around the women who were still sitting on the picnic blanket. But when Ava and Charley were about to get up too, Throttle nodded at them to sit down. Soon his headache tried to come back which made him sway a bit, like he was about to collapse or even faint.

"Throttle, are you sure you are okay?" Charley asked worriedly while she got up to help him to stay standing. Ava got up too while Throttle was only looking at her. "Does this have something to do with her.." He thought to himself but soon heard a familiar voice behind them. "Well well.. Ain't it the furious mice and Miss Da-.. Hmm.." They heard a cunning voice saying which made them turn around right away.

"What do you want, Fishface?!" Vinnie shouted to Lawrence Limburger after stepping in front of Throttle. Modo covered their brother and the women too while their enemy was sitting inside of a purple limo, a window wide open. His scent made the mice close their helmets visors and the women pinch their noses. It was a tough scent to Ava to handle as a new one, and for some reason, her head started to ache again too. It was so painful that it caused her to collapse on her knees while holding her head with her hands.

"Ava?!" Charley gasped making the mice turn around to look at her. "I'm okay.. Don't worry about me.." She said weakly, but soon they turned around just to notice that the limo was gone already. "Why did he come here to just show up?" Modo wondered while sitting back down after Vinnie walked around them to make sure there was no danger anymore.

"And what did he want from us now? His tower is still unfinished.." Throttle sighed after sitting down too. Their bikes got back to calmer parking positions and they hid their guns by themselves which made Ava's eyes widen, even if her head was still aching. "I don't know much about motorcycles or any vehicles but those are amazing.." She said making the males smile at her.

"Thanks.. But how are you feeling now? And you Throttle?" Vinnie said after coming back to them. "Did you see him?" Throttle said while looking at him shaking his head. "No.. His scent went South by wind but there were no trails.." He said before sitting down too. He sat next to Charley who was now between him and Ava again. Throttle and Modo had swapped their places during the wrong alert.

"Why didn't you just follow him with bikes? All of you?" Ava asked making Throttle shake his head. "We are here to meet you now.. And even if we are ready to fight anytime, we don't want to put you two in danger" He explained but then Vinnie continued. "If he had attacked us, wo ho ho hoo! You would have been amazed by our, or especially my, fighting skills" He smirked making the others roll their eyes. "Oh.. Right.." Ava chuckled but then turned to look around again.

"But yeah.. I'm fine. Just some headache.. These women are more important to keep safe, bros" Throttle said while noticing she was still looking away. "Throttle, don't start that thing again.. You know my opinion about it.." Charley sighed and looked at him worriedly making him nod at her after his ears dropped down. "Should we just focus on this meeting now? Huh, Ava? Is everything alright?" Modo asked making the others turn to look at her too.

"That can't be.." She said after a moment of thinking. "What?" Vinnie asked making her turn to look back at them. It took a moment from her to notice that they were looking at her a while. "I think I have seen that limo earlier too.." She said making the males turn to look at each other. Charley noticed that and got worried too, but she tried to stay calm. "Where?" She asked and knew that the guys were curious to know the answer too.

"It drove past my studio that day when you guys saved me from the collapsing Limburger tower.." She said making the males even more worried. Now she saw it too from their eyes. "But.. That can't be only purple limo here.. Chicago is a big city after all!" Ava said but didn't believe that either after remembering the smell back then. She had thought it to be just some city odors but now she was sure that it had been Lawrence Limburger by himself.

"We haven't seen any other purple limos like that here during the time we have been on Earth.." Throttle said seriously before turning to look at his bros. "Yeah! It can't just be possible that another just one pops out of nowhere so suddenly.. It must have been the Big Cheese.." Vinnie said making the other males nod at him. "What does he want from Ava?" Charley asked the question they all were thinking.

"There might be a chance of nothing, but we can't be sure about it.." Throttle said while looking at Ava. He didn't show his headache he got again from remembering the first meeting with the woman. Was there something going on? "But.. I just opened a tattoo studio here? I have nothing to do with him unless he wants some ink on his scales.." She said while she was clearly feeling uncomfortable. "Let's hope that doesn't happen either.." Modo said while gently smiling at her making her smile back at him.

"What if he knows that she is my friend?" Charley said while moving closer to Ava to hug her as a way to try to comfort her, and maybe even herself too. "But how? If these guys didn't know it either, how would he know?" Ava asked but no-one answered her. "Whatever it is.. There might be a chance that you are in danger.." Throttle said while getting up from the blanket. Vinnie and Modo followed his lead and got up too. They walked to their bikes and put their helmets on.

"Are you guys leaving already?" Ava asked while Charley got up too before helping her up. They folded the blanket together while the males were talking about something in a foreign language. "Guys!!" She heard Charley raising her voice which made her jump a bit. She was surprised about it since she had always thought she was so calm.

"Sorry Sweetheart.." Vinnie sighed but the other males looked like they regret nothing. "What?" Ava lifted her other eyebrow and looked at them by turns. "They always talk Martian when there's something they don't want me to know.. And almost every time it's something I definitely should know!" Charley explained but then noticed Ava's eyes being widened again.

"There really is a Martian language?!" She gasped and almost got into the fangirl mode again. "Yes.." Throttle said but continued before she or Charley managed to say anything, which made the mechanic cross her arms and groan. "I think you should stick with us, Ava.. For your own safety" He said making her look like, umm.. He wasn't sure how to read her expression, was she confused, happy or something else. They didn't meet that high leveled fangirls often.

"But I have my business to run! Even if I sleep there too for now, I-" She started but then Charley gasped. "You do?! No no no no no no! We have talked about this, Ava!" She said making the artist roll her eyes. "Yeah.. I asked you to bunk a couple of nights on your couch but you told you had some non local friends over.." She said but soon remembered the rest of the conversation which made her blush.

"Sweetheart I can't believe it! You really said 'no' to a beautiful girl?" Vinnie turned to look at her making her roll her eyes. "Don't blame me! But.. Now since you guys know each other already.. I would have a whole room for you, Ava? If you- what is it now?" Charley said but soon heard her laughing after the blushing. "What is so funny?" Modo asked while the artist was wiping tears away from her eyes.

"I called them cockroaches and you didn't even correct me! Sorry guys!" Ava laughed making Charley burst out laughing too while the males looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces. "What's a cockroach?" Vinnie asked making Throttle and Modo shrug while looking at the women who were still laughing pretty loudly.

After they had finally calmed down and whipped their tears away, Vinnie handed Charley her helmet while Throttle picked another one for Ava. "So.. Is it a deal? Will you come with us?" He asked making Ava turn to look at Charley. "Is it really okay? For all of you?" She asked but soon felt someone leaning against her shoulders. "You seriously think we would say 'no' for a beauty like you?" Vinnie grinned but soon got a full force punch straight to his lower stomach making him groan loudly and fall on his knees.

"I recommend you to not touch me without permission! And that was for calling me a 'girl'!" Ava growled while rubbing her elbow she had hit Vinnie with. "Of course it is! It's better than okay, because now we see each other more often" Charley smiled before helping Vinnie up from the ground with Modo. "Hmph!" Ava huffed to the white furred male making the others laugh while he just rolled his eyes and mumbled something in Martian.

"You will fit just fine in the group" Throttle smirked at her making her smile and nod to him. "Welcome to the group, Ava" Modo smiled at her after sitting on his bike. "You got to choose from these gentle.. mice which ride you prefer" Charley laughed after sitting behind still whining Vinnie who was holding his stomach. "Which one of you drives slower and safer?" Ava asked and took the helmet that Throttle offered her.

"Those words don't belong in Biker Mice vocabulary!" Vinnie laughed making the others laugh too. "Maybe I choose Modo for now then.. No offense Throttle" Ava said making the male chuckle. "None taken" The Tan furred male said and sighed after turning to look away. He had a feeling that, what if his headache got worse if she was as close to him as sitting behind him. Would he be a safe driver for her? If.. If she really caused his head to ache.

"But.. Is this completely safe?" Ava doubted while walking closer to Modo's bike. "I promise you that! Lil' Hoss is the gentlest bike in the whole universe" Modo patted the bike proudly making it beep at him. "Lil' Hoss?" Ava asked while putting the helmet on. "Her name, of course!" Modo said after sitting on the driver seat. "Her?" Ava got even more confused making Charley laugh. "You'll get used to that soon!" She said making Ava roll her eyes while chuckling. "I'm afraid that you might be right, Charley.." She said and sat behind the gray furred male while being still a bit unsure about it.

"Okay all! Let's rock and ride!!" Vinnie shouted while popping a wheelie making Charley scream behind him and tighten her grip around his waist. "Remind me not to take his drive!" Ava swallowed after the males had shouted their battle cry loudly. "I'm sure you won't forget that either, Ava-ma'am!" Modo chuckled making her laugh behind him while the males started to drive out of the park.

But the group didn't get far from the park before they saw that purple limo again. "Limburger.." Vinnie growled while driving next to Throttle who was driving at first and in the middle like always as the group leader. Modo stopped on the other side of him while one of the limo's windows opened slowly, revealing the grinning face of one and only, Lawrence Limburger.

"What do you want, Cheese head?" Throttle growled while preparing his bike's weapon system. "I see you have got yourself a new member.. Such a stunning female, isn't she?" Limburger said mischievously, a wide smile on his face. "She has nothing to do with you.." Modo said after preparing his bike's guns and his mechanic arm's one. "So leave her out of this!" Vinnie growled while preparing his weaponry.

"Leave out of what, my dear, noisy rodent? I just wanted to say hello to the new.. possible.. enemy.. As I still am, a very polite business man!" He grinned inside the limo while the mice were growling. "Like we would believe anything you say!" Charley shouted but soon felt Vinnie's tail's grip tighten around her waist. "Sweetheart, don't.." He growled making her slap his helmet gently before the male turned to look at their enemy again.

"What do you want from me?!" Ava growled at the alien fish while she tried to be brave. Even if she knew that she would be more safe around the mice than around that thing, she was still scared for some reason. Maybe it was because everything happened so quickly and she had no time to adjust at all. While she had that being nervous thing, she had some other anxious related mental issues which she didn't want to talk about much.

"Oh.. My beautiful female human.. Avaline was it?" Limburger started very slimy. "My name is Ava! But how do you know that?!" She gasped and Modo could easily feel her being more tense since she was sitting right behind his back and holding tightly the back of his armor. Soon he felt her grip tighter on his armor's red straps which made him more worried about her. He could tell that she was scared, which was a bit new from him since Charley wasn't usually scared in a situation like these. She even wanted to be part of the action which wasn't okay with the guys at all.

"Leave. Her. Alone!" Throttle growled loudly making their archenemy just grin wider. He also had noticed her being afraid which made him even more protective towards their female friends. "I may chance a few words with her, would that be more suitable for you, precious mice?" He grinned while looking at Ava. He didn't even bother to look at the others or be afraid of the mice's prepared weaponry.

"I don't want to talk to you, so go away!" Ava growled but now Charley and Vinnie heard her voice was trembling, which surely didn't go unnoticed by the Plutarkian either. "You might not remember me since I need to wear this mask here.." Limburger grinned while he started to take his mask off. The Trio and Charley turned to look at each other confusingly. That was something their enemy didn't normally do in public places, even if it was night already.

"But do you remember me now?" He said cunningly after taking his human face mask off, revealing his very own, very much fish looking, Plutarkian features. That got Ava's already bad headache even worse. She had thought his horrible smell caused it, but immediately she saw his real face, she felt so much pain it felt like her head would explode right there. She screamed in pain which made the trio's ears ring again, but they were more worried about her reaction. Even Charley was holding her helmet since she couldn't tuck her fingers in her ears.

"Ava are you alright?!" Charley gasped and forced Vinnie unwrap his tail around her waist. She jumped off his bike and ran to her friend, not caring about Limburger's evil laughter. "We'll meet soon, dear Avaline! Ciao!" He laughed while the window closed and the limo drove away. Vinnie and Throttle started shooting at it but got a few shots back which made them focus on defending their friends. Meanwhile Modo helped Ava down on the ground from his bike.

"Ava, Ava please talk to me!" Charley begged her friend while she helped her to sit down but soon she leaned against her hands and was on all fours. "That is not normal.. Does she have any disease that would cause that much pain?" Modo asked worriedly while following Ava's situation and the fight at the same time. "She hasn't told me anything about migraines or anything.. Ava, do you even hear me?!" Charley said and lifted her hand on her friend's back. But she soon felt her back curling up.

"Modo please go to help the others. Now. I'll help Ava!" Charley turned to look at him. He sighed and didn't want to leave them behind but soon nodded and ran to his bros, leaving his bike as a guarding wall for the women. "Thank you, Charley.." Ava managed to say before she threw up. And it wasn't unheard of by the males either, but when Charley glared at them about their actions of disgust, they looked sorry before continuing fighting a few goons that had come to defend Limburger so he could run away.

"It's okay.. Do you feel any better now, Ava?" Charley said while gently petting her back. "Ava? Ava?!" Charley gasped when she noticed that her eyes started to roll back and her body started to feel weak. The Mechanic managed to catch her just before she collapsed on the ground where she had just thrown up. "Guys!! Help! Ava fainted!" She shouted at the males and she was truly worried about her friend.

What had caused her so much pain that she had ended up fainting? What did Limburger want from her? Why did he call her Avaline? And why Ava and Throttle were having those weird headaches..?
