Bab 13: Edna Mode
Ren followed Rick Dicker out of the facility, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.
They walked to the parking space, where a sleek black car was waiting for them. rick opened the door for him, then got in the driver's seat. He started the engine and drove out of the gate.
"Where are we going?" Ren asked, looking out of the window.
"We're going to see Edna Mode," Rick said. "She's an old friend of mine, and a genius designer. She's going to make you a super suit."
"I see"Ren nodded as he thought 'To think that Edna Mode will be the one who will make my suit is just amazing'
Ren was sitting in the back seat of the car, looking out the window at the busy streets of Metro City. He saw people rushing to their destinations, cars honking their horns, and skyscrapers towering over the horizon. He also saw the almost made Metro man museum.
'The plot of Megamind will also about to start huh.' Ren thought
He wondered how Metro Man could still do superhero things when it was banned by the government though. He then decided to ask , rick, about it.
"Mr. Rick, why can Metro Man still do superhero things when it's banned?" he asked.
Rick glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled. "Well, you see, Metro Man is not just a superhero. He's also a star. A celebrity. An idol. The people of Metro City love him so much that they don't care about the law. They cheer for him, they worship him, they follow his every move. He's like a god to them."
Ren nodded, but he was not satisfied. "But what about the government? Don't they try to stop him?"
Rick sighed and shook his head. "The government has bigger problems to deal with, champ. The crime rate in Metro City is all-time high. There are gangs, robbers, murderers, and terrorists everywhere. The police and the army are overwhelmed and outnumbered. The government knows that they need Metro Man's help, even if they don't admit it. So they turn a blind eye to his actions. They pretend that they don't see him, or that they can't catch him. They let him do what he does best: saving the day."
"I see" Ren nodded in understanding.
"Here we are" Rick said as they finally arrived at Edna's mansion, a large and elegant building surrounded by a well-kept garden.
Rick stop the car at the mansions gate and pressed a button. A voice came from a speaker.
"Who is it?" the voice asked from the intercom, sounding impatient and annoyed.
"It's me Edna, Rick Dicker, I'm here with a promising hero."
There was a pause, then a click. The gate opened, and the car drove in.
"Welcome, darlings. Come in, come in. I've been expecting you."
Ren and Rick walked out of the car then they proceed to go to the door, where a short woman with a bulbous nose and brown eyes, in a stylish dress and glasses greeted them. She had short black hair and a confident smile.
"Edna, it's so good to see you again," Rick said, hugging her.
"Likewise, my dear. You look well," Edna said, then turned to Ren.
"And who is this handsome young man?" Edna asked, looking at Ren with curiosity.
"This is Ren. He's here to get a suit from you," Rick Dicker said.
"Ren, huh? Nice name. And what are your powers, darling?" Edna asked.
Ren felt a bit nervous, but he answered politely. "I have a spider physiology ma'am. Organic web, wall crawling ability, talons, and four spider like legs at my back."
Edna's eyes widened in admiration. "Wow, that's impressive, darling. You must be quite a hero. Come on, let's go to my studio. I have some ideas for your suit."
She led them inside the mansion, which was filled with paintings, sculptures, and other artworks. They followed her to a large room with a high ceiling and a glass wall. There were many machines, mannequins, fabrics, and tools in the room.
"This is where I create my masterpieces," Edna said proudly. "I have designed suits for many famous supers, such as Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Frozone, Downburst. And now, I will design one for you, Ren."
She then asked Ren to sit on a chair and scanned his body with a device. Then she handed him a paper and a pencil. "What do you want your suit to look like, darling?" she asked.
Ren thought for a moment 'Since I have the same powers Spider-man have, let's make my costume be the same as his but I want it to look like the one that Miguel O'Hara have'
Ren then drew a sketch the suit is predominantly black with red highlights, including a large red spider partially resembling a skull as its chest insignia. Unlike most suits, this suit does not have visible eye lenses, but rather red highlights on the mask to indicate where the eyes are. The suit also features red spikes on each of the arms. He showed it to Edna, who nodded approvingly.(Its in the novel's cover)
"Very nice, very nice. I like your style. And no capes, I see. Good, good. Capes are dangerous, you know. They can get caught on things, or get sucked into jet engines, or get pulled by villains. No capes!" she said emphatically.
She took the sketch and went to a machine that looked like something from a sci-fi movie. It had many tiny robotic arms that moved and wove the suit. Edna made some adjustments on a screen and said, "This suit will enhance your powers, Ren. It will be flexible, durable, resistant to heat and cold. I cut it a little roomy for the free movement, the fabric is comfortable for sensitive skin... And machine washable, darling. That's a new feature. It will be the perfect suit for you."
She looked at the progress of the machine and said, "It will be finished tomorrow and delivered to the facility. You don't have to worry about the expenses he government has already paid for this."
Rick thanked her and said, "You're amazing, Edna. You always were."
Edna smiled and said, "Thank you, Rick. You're too kind. And you're welcome, Ren. I hope you like your suit."
Rick Dicker said, "Okay, then. I'll take Ren back to the facility. We'll see you later, Edna"
He and Ren said goodbye to Edna and left the mansion. They got into the car and drove back to the facility, where Ren went to his room and slept after changing his clothes. He dreamed of his new suit and the things he could done with it.
