Maven Agent E and me!

by Night Owl

Somehow my now is years into the future. I'm all grown up and can fly. But, I'm not all grown up. Inside I'm still Dee Dee. I'm scared. It must have been that explosion that aged that man? Sent me into the future. If so now what? Oh I can hear. I hear really well. So bad it hurts? No. But.... I hear something behind those buildings. I don't want them to see me first. Flying up to the rooftop. Than move silently to the end of the rooftop. Backwoods skills like moving quietly and listening. WOW. Real world assets here! Now Now, little girl let's not get frisky and slow it down. Looking down. A strangely dressed man with a cattle prod. Looks like a dirt bike rider carrying a ?? What kind of world is this? Maybe you need a weapon to walk down the street? Like the crossroads where the Essex and Bullware's live? Never seen any kids run so fast as we do whenever we ended up nearby? I watch him for what seemed like an eternity. I decide to call down to him in English. He looks up. "I say don't be scared homie. I'm a friend." Poor guy looks like he doesn't get to fly? I tell him "I hear a strange sound it's coming this way. Doesn't sound like you sound." He tells me he is "From the Irea" and asks, "Are you?" I say, "Of course I'm from the Irea." He doesn't ask any follow up questions. Which is fine! He does start to get really bossy and says "I'm Agent E." I say "I'm the Night Owl." "We have orders to capture any wanted energy abusers." Agent E reports. I respond "Okay" I mean What else should I say? I don't know where I am or when and Agent E speaks English and isn't after me? Better be on the lookout Dee Dee no telling what is going on. I like this new side of me really cautious. Okay Night Owl me says Dee Dee I'm going to play this smart! I stay airborne but move out after Agent E.
 
I don't know what that is? But it's what nightmares are made off? Agent E and me move in together. Before I know it Agent E is on the ground on the corner. Kinda like a Sunday morning after the Duck's win a big football game? Except this ain't from PBR. It's from the creature. I try to make it's acquaintance at full speed but this is flying! I'm not that good at it. Not good at all. I barely avoid hitting the pavement. That would be about the way my day is going? Having to get scraped up off the pavement after trying to do a flying into a Gorn straight outta fugton. Managing a U-turn. "I'm coming for you Agent E." I fly over and try to help him up. He says something to me. Shaking my head. "Bossy for someone lying on a corner ain'tcha?" Agent E tells me to help him up. It's up up and away. Right up onto the nearby roof. He doesn't look good. Godzilla jr. got him good. We talk out a little plan.
 
I'm going to fly over the rooftop and try to keep the creature from the bogeyman lagoon busy. Agent E is going to try to sneak up on it using the ladder on the side of the building. Great plan. Love it. Ready? Break. Over the rooftop I go! I do some passes. To get the feel of flying. That's when I make another dive bomb. Same result. Don't let chicken little kid you. Flying ain't easy. It's not like falling out of the sky. More like falling off my bike into 2072? The creature goes into the building. When Agent E comes around. I'm waiting. He gets bossy and demands "We're going in after it!" I just shake my head. Y'all crazier than than an exploding cabin outside of Bend Oregon and not good way either. "What if there are more of them in there?" I ask. He looks confused. Stammers something bossy. Tells me, "We'll return to base now that we've made contact. We can get another agent or two and finish the job." I nod. He act's like this was nothing but another day at the office? I've met Agent E. I'm thankful to get a place to stay. I hope to never see Maven again. Once is more enough.
