Chapitre 139: Chapter 139: First Day Back
[Third Person's PoV]
Early the next morning…
Tony and Melissa slid down the railings in their school uniforms, grinning with the carefree energy of the morning. At the bottom of the steps, Baymax waited in a maid's outfit, holding their backpacks like a diligent servant.
As they reached the bottom, metallic tendrils shot out from their backs, gracefully grabbing their bags and placing them onto their shoulders.
"Thanks, Baymax!" they both called out in unison, heading towards the garage without missing a beat.
Melissa's symbiote burst from her body, slithering like liquid metal toward her motorcycle. With a smooth, organic transformation, the bike became sleeker, shifting to a striking yellow and black design with a bold lightning bolt along its side. The bike looked more like a futuristic piece of art than a machine.
Melissa shot Tony a mischievous grin, throwing up two peace signs as her eyes glinted with excitement. "Third ability: Tech Assimilation and Upgrade!" she declared triumphantly.
Tony raised an eyebrow, visibly impressed but pretending to be nonchalant. "And you didn't mention this ability when we were training yesterday because…?"
Melissa's smirk widened. "I wanted it to be a surprise, obviously." Her symbiote's tendrils shot out again, wrapping around her and pulling her smoothly onto the bike. A yellow helmet formed over her head as if on command, handed to her by the writhing symbiote.
"Fine," Tony sighed, rolling his eyes. "If we're putting on a show, let's really put on a show."
With a fluid, almost acrobatic motion, Tony leaped into the air, performing a backflip. Mid-flip, his symbiote's biomass shot from his hands, forming a motorbike beneath him, tendrils pulling him gracefully into the seat just as he landed. The bike touched down with a perfect bounce, but Tony's triumphant grin quickly vanished as he froze, letting out a strange wheezing sound.
"Tony?" Melissa asked cautiously, amusement flickering in her eyes.
"..." Tony stayed silent for a beat too long, his expression strained.
"I hit my balls... when the bike bounced," Tony wheezed, sounding utterly winded.
"Pfffttt! Hahaha!" Melissa burst into laughter, pointing at him in mockery. She practically doubled over.
Tony groaned, clutching his stomach. "Just… give me a minute."
Melissa, still giggling, leaned casually on her bike, one leg stretched out, watching Tony as he struggled to regain his composure. After a full minute, Tony straightened up, took a deep breath, and put two fingers in his mouth, letting out a sharp, piercing whistle.
Melissa raised a brow. "You're seriously calling him?" she asked as she didn't think they were going to take him to school.
The distant sound of flapping wings filled the air. They both turned in unison to see Master Splinter soaring toward them, his large white wings flapping once before vanishing as he landed gracefully on Tony's shoulders.
"Well, ain't it a blessed morning, partners!" Splinter greeted with his usual drawl.
Melissa sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Mr. Aizawa is literally going to kill you."
A white helmet materialized over Tony's head as he revved the bike to life. "Don't worry. I've got the perfect counter for him. I'm ready. You?"
Melissa's smirk returned, her tone dripping with mock concern as she cooed in a baby voice, "Your balls feeling a wittle better now?"
Tony shot her a deadpan look. "You serious right now?"
Melissa only laughed as she revved her bike, the garage door lifting as she sped out. Tony shook his head, not about to let her get the upper hand. He took off after her, weaving through the early morning traffic with Splinter clinging to his shoulders.
The two of them raced each other to school, darting in and out of lanes, but always staying just under the speed limit—barely. Their symbiotes made the bikes feel like extensions of themselves, reacting instinctively to every move they made.
When they finally pulled up to the school, Tony parked beside Melissa. His bike dissolved into slime, retreating back into his body like it was never there. Melissa dismounted as well, her symbiote receding back into her, leaving no trace of its existence.
Leaning against the bike rack, Melissa shot Tony a teasing look. "As fun as that was, I kind of missed holding onto you," she said with a wink, her tone playful but with a hint of something more.
Tony blinked, folding his arms over his chest. "Are you hitting on me?"
Melissa rolled her eyes dramatically, pretending to chew gum as she doubled down on her teasing. "And what if I am, pretty boy?"
"Pfft," Tony snorted, unable to take her seriously. "I swear, my masculinity just left my body as soon as you said that."
Melissa giggled at his reaction. Before their banter could continue, a sleek black limo pulled up, and out stepped Momo, elegant as always. The moment Melissa spotted her, she rushed over, tackling Momo in a hug.
"MOMO!" Melissa squealed, pressing their faces together in excitement.
Momo chuckled softly, returning the embrace. "It's good to see you too, Melissa," she said warmly.
"I missed you," Melissa said, still clinging to her.
Tony strolled up, his arms wide open. "And this is where I turn it into a group hug. Bring it in, ladies!"
Momo laughed, glancing at the small creature perched on Tony's shoulder. "It's good to see you, Tony. Who's the little guy?"
Master Splinter tipped an imaginary hat. "Blessed morning, gorgeous. Name's Splinter. Master Splinter."
Momo blinked in surprise, the trio headed toward class talking among themselves. As they walked, Momo's curiosity got the better of her.
"So, how was your internship with America's number one hero?" she asked.
Tony grunted in displeasure, while Melissa let out a heavy sigh.
"It started off great," Tony admitted. "Honestly, I was having a blast."
Melissa nodded. "But things got dicey toward the end," she added in a lower voice, so others wouldn't overhear.
Momo's eyes widened as Melissa continued explaining. "You're kidding," she said in disbelief, glancing between them. "That really happened?"
"Unfortunately," Tony grumbled.
As they reached their classroom, they took their seats. Soon after, Kirishima and Denki burst through the door, laughing hysterically as they leaned on each other for support. Spotting Tony, they rushed over.
"Tony! Just… just look at the door!" Denki pleaded between giggles.
Tony turned, eyes widening as Bakugo entered, his usual spiky hair neatly combed down, his expression radiating pure fury.
"BWAHAHAHA!!" Tony burst out laughing, pointing at Bakugo, which only caused Denki and Kirishima to laugh even harder.
Bakugo's fists clenched, trembling with rage, looking like he was about to explode any second.
