Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 93

After returning to the Tower, Felicity, Vincent, Jenny, and Patch went back home. Akito and Estelle yawned and stretched.

"Man, who knew space travel was so exhausting?" Estelle said as she rubbed her back.

"You're telling me and I'm still surprised that I was able to survive in outer space without a spacesuit." Akito said.

"Maybe that was some of Captain Planet's genetics from Mom's side of the family..." Estelle shrugged.

"You kids are very incredible, I bet your parents are so proud of you." Tech smiled.

Rev smiled too, but he seemed a little touchy on the subject of family, so he didn't say anything.

"Yeah, they really are, but, um, can we not mention the P word around Rev?" Akito asked the coyote.

"Oh, sorry, Rev, I forgot you were there." Tech looked apologetic to the roadrunner.

"I-It's okay... Really..." Rev sounded slow for a change. "Um... I'm gonna head to bed..."

"I wish there was a way to cheer him up." Estelle said.

Akito tried to think of something and then got an idea. "I've got an idea." he said.

"You and your ideas..." Estelle muttered at first, but then spoke up as she asked a question. "What's up, bro?"

Akito began to whisper to his twin sister of his plan.

Estelle listened closely and slowly nodded, when he was done, she pulled out. "Are you sure about that?"

"Definitely." Akito nodded.

"Well, okay, but first, you'll have to find out what their phone number is." Estelle said.

"Hmm..." Akito tried to think of how to do that. "I guess I'll look for a phone book..." he then spoke up to the male bunny. "Hey, Ace!"

Ace turned his head.

"Are there phone books in this time period?" Akito asked.

"Yeah, are there phone books in this time period?" Estelle nearly echoed.

"No, sorry." Ace shook his head.

"Oh..." Akito and Estelle frowned then.

"But we got handheld computers that'll give the number of whoever you're lookin' for," Ace then told them. "Who you gonna call?"

"I wanna call Rev's parents and brother and see if they can come over to see of how important being a hero is more important than what his father is trying to let him do instead." Akito said.

"That's a good question..." Ace scratched his head. "Wait right here."

The twins nodded and waited, a little excited about contacting Rev's family.

"How do you know about Rev's family?" Estelle asked her twin.

Akito whispered to her of how he knew.

"Hmm..." Estelle put her hands behind her back.

Ace walked over and gave them the device he told them about. "Here ya go, let me know when yer done." he then walked off and allowed them to make their private call.

"Hopefully this works." Akito said.

"I'm sure it will..." Estelle said, she then saw the name Runner in the device. "Here they are... Harriet and Ralph Runner... They own a... Toy Factory?"

Akito then used one of the futuristic phones and used it to call the Runner family and hoped that they would be home.

"Hello, Runner residence, how may I help you?" a holographic image of a male roadrunner came in front of the twins then.
