In the elevator on the way down,
Waya was quiet. She didn't know how to talk to Penelope about what was on her mind. Suddenly she blurted it out. "You don't know how to sew do you?"
"Yes."
Penelope replied, "Is it your suit?"
"You were right..."
Waya said. "I don't wanna look like a stripper any more..."
"Oi- I didn't mean it seriously." Penelope said with a frown, thinking she had hurt Waya's feelings. "I was just fooling around when I said that. You have a nice body, you should flaunt it if you want to."
"No..."
Waya said. "I first did it just to piss off my mom... Now that stuffs happened..." She trailed off and the elevator doors opened. "I can't put that thing on the way it is now... I just can't."
"Something happen?"
Penelope asked, doubtful she would spill.
"It's... Look... It's not like we're girlfriends...
" Waya told her. "I haven't told anyone since it happened. If you've not noticed I'm not exactly the sharing type... Will you help me?"
"Of course I will. Do you have thread and a needle?" Penelope asked as the elevator doors opened and they stepped out
"There's stuff down here." She said, going to her locker. "I guess I should put it on... We should probably get you set up first..."
"And I was thinking... is there any sort of mic and speaker set that I could fix to a belt or something?" Penelope asked, "The speakers back on Mojo's arena really helped a lot. Nothing extravagant... but with volume and easy enough to move in."
"I think George could set you up." Waya said. "If not, Liz can. Actually, Junior might be able to. He plays dumb but he's really smart."
"Wow... there really are a lot of lockers down here, eh?" Penelope asked, looking around while Waya led the way. "Was it ever busy enough around here to fill all these?"
"Once." Waya said. "In the school's prime there were up to fifty students and ten to twenty faculty members... Here are the spares... They're all pretty much one size fits all." She indicated a cupboard with both men's and women's uniforms.
She frowned immediately and looked sideways at Waya, "Yellow?"
"There are other colors..." Waya said, pulling down a navy blue one. "Maybe I should just think of altering a new one instead of fixing my old one..."
"Taking away fabric is easier than adding it." Penelope said and skimmed through the uniforms. "Oh... this is cute." she said and plucked a uniform that was sleeveless with a large white 'X' on the front. Little did she know the similarity in her recently-discovered Father's uniform.
"That..." Waya winced. "That belonged to Will..." she said. "It should be in his locker... it must be a spare..."
"Really?" Penelope asked, looking from Waya, to the uniform. She brought it closer and sniffed it, "Smells new.... I would like this one." Knowing that her birth Father had one in the same made her smile inwardly to herself.
"Well it's a guys..." Waya said. "One size fits all but that's mens for men and women's for women. This won't be cut right for you... I guess it could be altered, but I duno how good you are at that... and I duno how you're gonna..." She looked at Penelope's breasts, or lack there of. "Never mind..." She didn't want to ruin this... friendly interaction by telling Pen she had small tits when Waya's were... hardly containable.
"Well let me try it on and we'll see what I need to alter." Penelope said and pulled her shirt up over her head, then pushed down her skirt. "What did you have in mind for your outfit?"
Waya turned her back. She had never been one hundred percent comfortable being around other naked girls. "I Duno..." She said. "You can step inside the lockers you know..." The glass would go opaque, providing ample privacy.
"What? I'm not dressing in a bloody locker. Besides it's just you." Penelope asked as she stepped into the uniform. She pulled it up and put her arms in the holes.
"It's what they're for." Waya told her, opening the nearest. It was really a small dressing room inside.
"Meh.." Penelope shrugged and zipped up the suit so it was tight on her body. "Hmm... how's it look?" She turned a bit, then the other way, trying to get a look at herself.
"It's big in places and tight in others." Waya said. "Your ass... is magnificent." Though she said it in a placid voice. Waya felt as if she was lacking in the butt department.
"Pff-hahaha!" Penelope laughed outwardly, placing her hands around her stomach to hold herself, "I don't think I would have ever expected you to say something like that. Heh... thanks though. I can fix this up too before tomorrow, no problem."
"And help me with mine?" Waya asked.
"Sure... just let me get this off." Penelope said and began undressing, "Put your new one on."
Waya grabbed the navy blue one she had chosen and went toward her locker.
Penelope slipped back into her normal closed and folded up her uniform neatly in her arms while she waited for Waya to come back out.
Waya came back out a moment later, covered from neck to toe. "See..." She said. "The guys will know something is up if I just wear this... I don't want to... I don't want to be coddled."
"I sincerely doubt you need to be coddled ...and I have an inkling that everyone here knows it." Penelope said, then turned on her heel, "Come on...I think I have a sewing kit in my room."
"Flux material needs special thread..." Waya told her, going to a cupboard in the far side of the room. "The molecules are unstable. It allows a mutant to still use their powers without too greatly effecting the material." She grabbed the small kit. "But it's more comfortable upstairs..."
"Good to know." Penelope said, eyeing the kit in Waya's hands. They headed back to the elevator, Waya still in her suit. "So- did you have a new design in mind?"
"More skin..." Waya said. "Just not... ALL skin... Modest but... confident at the same time. Does that make sense?"
"Hot... but not trashy. I can do that." Penelope said and they stepped into the open elevator. "I already have an idea for yours. If you want, I can sketch it out first?"
"You draw?" Waya asked. "I've not in ages..." Just like she hadn't picked up her guitar or anything else creative.
"No... but I mean, I should probably show you want I am thinking before I just start hacking away at this suit. Just to be sure you like what I am picturing. Unless I can just go at it." Pen lifted her shoudlers.
"I'm telepathic, Pen..." Waya told her. She could easily pluck the image out of her mind.
"Oh..then do it." Penelope said, not caring.
Waya's eyes narrowed as she looked at Penelope, opening the pathways between them to see what Penelope had in mind.
The design had long sleeves wit an 'X' on her belly that would have patches cut out on her waist and hips. The design was sleek and left her shoulders exposed.
<hr<
"That's... not bad..." Waya said, almost smiling. "Can we do it to the shoes too?"
"Like on the tops of the foot? Sure! I think that would look adorable. I mean...hot." Pen corrected.
Waya smirked, but she didn't give pen much more of a reaction than that. For Waya, it was a lot.
Waya stepped out of her locker in the new uniform Penelope had helped her modify. She was showing a lot less skin and felt more comfortable than she would have been in her old uniform. She was a little nervous though. All the worries the twins had voiced were echoing in her mind and she kept going through the mental checklist of everything she had stored in her cache as far as supplies went. They should be ok... should being the operative word.
Junior fastened his belt. His uniform consisted of a pair of long baggy shorts, allowing as much visible skin as possible so he could absorb energy. He knocked on Mari's locker. "Almost ready?" He asked.
The hinge unclicked and Mari stepped out. She tugged at the uniform at her wrists, making sure they were turned the right way and not twisted around her elbow.
Rhydian stepped from his locker, dressed in his rather dapper white uniform. He adjusted his collar slightly and brushed some non-existent dust from the sleeves. He always thought everyone else always looked so plain in their black suits...
"Looks good." Junior told Mari. "Are you sure about this?"
George didn't have a suit, it would have been rather pointless after all, what did he need protecting from? What he did have though was a small can of paint and some time while the others were getting changed. He was sitting in the corner of the locker rooms, staring down at his own chest and casually adding a bit more black to his white exterior. If they did come across the X-men out there, he wanted to make sure they knew who he was working with.
Maribel nodded before signing 'who will keep you in line if I don't go?' Although she knew full well that Junior could take care of himself.
Junior smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Has anyone seen Liz?" Waya asked. She figured since they were getting ready to leave she should at least be here for this.
Maribel looked over at Waya and shook her head.
"Not since yesterday." Rhydian replied, shaking his head. He hoped that she'd at least gotten some sleep. He knew Liz tended to forget about such important things as sleep or food whens he got in the zone.
"I believe Liz to be upstairs." George said as he continued painting "She may be absent minded at the moment... or perhaps she is already prepared."
Waya made a grumble and closed up her locker. "I'll go get her." She said and vanished using the shadow under the bench everyone sat on to put their boots on.
"Hey everyone." Eliza said with a little smile as she stepped inside the locker room. She looked a lot more rested than usual, and healthy perhaps.
Rhydian couldn't help but laugh when Eliza showed up. "Liz... You've got great timing. Waya just headed off to look for you."
"Like, seconds ago." Junior added.
"I didn't see her on the way over." Eliza said, looking confused before tutting and muttering "Shadows... girl needs to learn to use her legs a bit." She moved over towards her locker "Sorry I'm late."
Penelope walked down in her suit already and currently in the process of putting her long white hair into a high pony tail. It was easier to wear her headset with her hair up like this.
George looked around as Penelope came in, giving a little nod "How is the device Penelope? Is it comfortable?"
"Oh I love it!" Penelope exclaimed. "I painted it white last night. It's it just adorable?" She did a spin and smiled. "Thanks again. It's perfect. I owe you one."
"Please, do not mention it." George said, something about how stiffly he stood making the words feel more like "Please do not speak to me again after this." But maybe that was just because he was a robot...
Junior looked at Penelope when she came around their side of the room. Her black uniform embossed with a long white X looked... familiar. "Where did you get that?" He asked, interrupting her and George.
"Waya and I found it. I thought it looked cool and picked it out. Turns out it's the same kind your Dad wears." Penelope said, careful to use the word 'wear' instead of 'wore'. "Uh..this isn't weird, is it?"
"Dad was the only one that wore those." Junior said. "No sleeves, it lets the skin absorb more energy." It was why he only wore those long baggy shorts. "It is Dad's, Penelope..." As to whether or not this was weird, he said nothing.
That would explain why it was so big in the shoulders before she altered it, "What?" Pen asked. "No, it's not... I got it in the closet of extras. That one, over there.." she pointed, "On the other wall there. Waya said no one used those."
"Any more..." Junior said. "That's Dad's locker..." If spares had been shoved in there then it meant someone had fucked up with the laundry. It was hard to tell if he was angry, even he didn't know. Maybe he felt more offended than anything.
"Oh god.. Junior, I am so sorry. I didn't know. I'll go get a different one.. I'm sorry." Penelope looked hurt and ashamed, feeling like she had just ripped Junior's heart in two.
"No, stop..." Junior said. "It's ok... just took me by surprise is all..."
Penelope wasn't convinced. "I would never if I knew it was really his. Seriously."
"So what kept you, Liz?" Rhydian asked as he sat on the bench outside her locker.
"Bad as it sounds? I slept in." Eliza said with a weak little laugh "I'm not used to having so much... time to rest you know?"
"You're not used to sleep at all." Rhydian offered with a laugh of his own. She hardly ever seemed to actually sleep.
"Forget it..." Junior said. "It's ok." He turned away from her and his hand found Maribele's.
Penelope winced, not at all convinced by Junior. She suddenly felt insecure about her new outfit and had been so excited to show it off until just now.
Maribel squeezed Junior's hand and gave him a smile. It must have been hard to see that just now.
Eliza emerged from her changing area, smiling to herself and patting down her suit as she stepped out. It had been a while since she'd worn it... she couldn't help but notice it felt bigger on her than usual. Maybe she hadn't been eating properly...
"Looks a bit loose." Rhydian noted as Eliza patted herself down. "I think that means you need to get out of the lab a bit more."
"Trust me, after this, I'm not going back into the lab for at least a month." Eliza said, not really thinking about what she was saying as she grew a little bit to help make the suit fit.
"I'm going to hold you to that." Rhydian assured her with a smirk.
Waya returned the same way she had left. "I just missed her in the k- There you are." She said, seeing Liz. "I was beginning to think you forgot about the whole thing."
"I was a bit lazy, sorry." Eliza said bashfully, looking embarrassed in front of Waya "You know, if you'd walked, you'd have found me... But anyway, should we run some more checks?"
"If everyone's ready, yeah." Waya said. "I've got us packed. You think we should wear respirators just in case? Or go in naked?" By naked she meant of course, without respirators.
"I shall go through first." George said with a little nod towards Waya. "As we agreed. I shall judge the place and return so you guys know what to expect..."
Rhydian was about to say something about how naked would be nice, but he figured that probably wouldn't actually end up being appreciated. He wasn't usually the one to make sexual innuendo jokes either... It felt almost wrong to be doing this without the twins.
"Alright! Let's get this show on the road!" Penelope said, tightening her ponytail.
Junior looked at Maribel. "I have to help Liz power up the machine."
"And you don't want to be near him after he's done it." Eliza said, tying back her long hair and taking in a deep breath. She should get it cut soon, that would be a good idea. "I'm pretty sure he has... control issues with all that humming."
Rhydian looked at Junior curiously. He had problems with the humming?
Eliza winked at Junior playfully, securing herself and looking around at the others. "Everyone ready?" she asked.
"Let's do it." Penelope said again.
"Whenever you guys are ready." Rhydian told them with a nod. He was as prepared as he was going to get. He looked over to Waya, hoping she was ready for this. What if they went through this portal and the twins were right? His mind was full of what ifs, but it was for her that he worried the most.
Upstairs, they headed to penelope's room
