If We Go Down Then We Go Down Together (Talenny)

Penny - Solo Missions Explode

My first solo mission! I'm so excited. Earlier, the Chief had walked up to me with a blue mission ball. Turns out Uncle Gadget and Brain were doing something else, and he thought I could handle it so I'm on my way to stop MAD from destroying the White House and killing everybody inside.

The Gadgetmobile parks in front of the White House, and some security guards walk up. I fumbled through my bag pulling out my official agent badge. 'Agent Penny from the HQ,' I say confidently and the guards nod. 'We have intel that MAD Agents plan to blow the White House and President up.' I continue, noticing the look of shock in their eyes. One of them speaks up. 'Come inside Agent Penny, you'll have access to all rooms except the Presidential Chambers.' he tells me. I nod in acknowledgement and we enter the massive building.

Sniff sniff. Hairgel. Talon is here... but where? 'AHA!' I yell, running into the kitchen. 'What's a rat like you doing in a kitchen?' I say with a smirk, as he stands up. Pretty slick Pen, even if I do say so myself.

'I'm not so sure— THINK FAST!' He yells in reply, firing his gumgun at me causing me to have to duck under a table.

He grins evilly holding a lighter that he grabbed from his pocket. Wait... what's that on his arm? I wonder. It's a massive red gash across his forearm. It's been stitched, terribly stitched may I add, and lightly dressed. Did he get that on a mission? I ask myself, as if I'd know the answer. I snap back into reality as he flicks the switch on the lighter.

Crap crap crap... My eyes dart around the room for a distraction, and I settle on a frying pan. 'Drop the lighter.' I say coldly, and he rubs his chin looking thoughtful as if debating it. I have to use all my self control to not get lost in those gorgeous chocolate brown eyes...

'Nah I don't think I will.' he says shrugging, and activating his rocket boots. Now's your chance Penny! I think, chasing him outside and into... a farm? Why's there a farm at the White House?

Now, if I'd remembered anything from Science class about fine particles being explosive I wouldn't have done what I did. But seriously, why would I be thinking about Science class now? I used the saucepan to knock him over, and as he was still flying the momentum sent him crashing into a silo filled with grain.

I run for my life as the silo explodes, setting grass and wood from trees alight. I stumble, tears forming in my eyes.

I killed him... I killed Talon.
