Boonboomger plus Cross

5: Can't keep a good cop down

"Akuse Jou, reporting in for observation duty!"

The recently minted lieson between the police, the goverment, and the Boonboomgers saluted the pit crew in the Boon HQ with entusaim to show his commitment.

Pink, aka Shifu clapped and showed her approval with egerness.

"Well, you're basically a go-between," Blue, aka Cheshiro, was more reserved, "You can just relax."

"About that..." Jou took a long breath, remaining professional with his hand behind his back as Taiya glacked back and forth from his work to Jou's introductions. "I don't intent to remain just a point of contact."

"What do you mean?" Shifu asked curiously.

Jou looked to Taiya, the leader, snf bowed deeply, "I'd like to join the Boonboomgers!"

"Oh i get it!" Shifu was always eager and excited.

"I want to protect the people as impressivly as you all! I've looked up to superheroes as long ansd i can remember. I'll look just as cool as you all, taking down the bad guys! A pleasure to work with you all!" Again eager to please Jou bows low.

"You heard him," Cheshiro called to Taiya as the pair stood up.

"No way." He glanced over without much attention and a casual response.

"Huh?" a caught off Jou looked up.

"Right now, you couldn't cut it."

"Huuuuuuh?!" Jou exclaimed with shock as Taiya continued his work casually and the pair looked on curiously.

At the Hashaliens HQ they were grousing over how only the BoonBoomger robo made they news, despite them being the cause of all the trouble only the "giant robot who fights with a screwdriver," made the headline. Their annoyance at being ignored, not saught for interview, and generall treated as a byproduct had them fuming and that fuming was expressed with fustration at darts in the tavern they had coopted, it's owner tied up and bound in a back room so the invaders could have some fun. Fun that culminated in the created of a new Automonster from the dart board and their newest plan to wreak havok.

Back at Boom HQ BoonBoom and Taiya reveal their latest mecha, a pair of police cars, as Cheshiro coments on Taiya not just randomly recruiting the new guy, like he had down with Shifu.

"He had the same kind of energy you are drawn to."

"Not really," Taiya says calmly "you could tell he wasn't reall cranked up, not the way you or Shifu get."

She muses, "Awe, I was looking forward to not being the new girl any more."

A comotion from behind drew their attention as a young blue haired girl, probably half Shifu's age, one still in high school, stepped in with a tablet in hand.

Shifu imediaty ran to her side, onlt to comically slip and fall on some random berries scatted about the floor.

"Oh sorry! Sorry!"

Cheshiro smiled, watching the exchange as Shifu picked one up to look over curiously. Then narrowing her eyes she peered into the girls hair, "You have a blunch of them in your hair."

She reached in to pull them free but the new girl pulled away, "No wait please do~"

Taiya was already there catching Shifu's hand before she could get closer, holding back her hand, "Not in her hair, are her hair."

Shifu tilkts her head curiously.

Cheshiro joins them, "This is Andrea," he reached off softly, ruffeling her hair as blue cat ears and a tail splug out.
