It's What's in the Box That Matters

"The box says 'dildos'." Mitsuko stared at a brown box on a table of skirts and blouses. She crossed her arms of the pink cardigan she wore over a green shirt with a pair of khaki pants drawn together with a skinny black belt.

"Bliss said no one would want to touch a box full of dildos." Erica, armed with a boxcutter tore through the tape on the top of the box. She wore a black and red floral top with a black pleated skirt and a solid pair of pumps. "So, she put all of equipment to us, in a box marked, 'dildos'."

What Danny wore to the shop was not what she currently wore. She picked up a pair of white shorts and a pink shirt. Danny reached over and grabbed the flap of the box back. "Holy Bliss. It's a box full of dildos." The unified look of bewilderment swept over Mitsuko, Erica, and Danny as they all watched their eyebrows shifted. "Wait. Oh-" Danny pulled out a glove. "Those are just that weird bubble wrap. And, it's protecting the gear!"

"That is not a phrase I woke up thinking I would hear." Erica dug into the box, pulling out a vest. "Oddly, covert though. What random delivery guy would go digging through a box full of dildos. Should we dump this out?"

"I don't want to." Mitsuko kept her arms across her chest.

"Summer. We have a job for you to do. For once." Erica yelled over her shoulder while pulling out a boot.

"I'm updating snapchat." Both of Summer's thumbs worked up a storm. The social media consultant wore a pair of jeans and a white turtleneck. "You know, my job."

"Not a job." Erica took a break from finding the partner to the boot.

The pile of gear kept stacking up like a mountain. The most recent find gave Danny a new pair of super gloves. "Sounds like one of those positions Mitsy keeps around because she is too nice to fire people."

Mitsuko shook back and forth with her arms crossed. "I like Summer."

"See! She likes me. And, I have a job I do." Summer kept her feet up on the counter while more gear came out from the box.

Mitsuko came to a halt. "Help get things out of the box."

"Ah!" A Summer gasp!

"Ah!" An Erica mockery!

"Ah!" A Summer offense!

"Ah!" A Danny rebuttal!

"Fine!" A Summer acceptance!

new york city had plenty of neat stuff to see and at the statue of liberty a pipsqueak blonde in a rolling stones t shirt and blue jeans tried to get through the crowd to see, being tiny was annoying in crowds.

she decides to climb up a lamp post to see over the crowd, hanging like a monkey she takes a picture and wonders why the lady was green was she a alien,or maybe she had super powers like hulk if she was a hero that explain while the lady got a big statue.

How long had it been since he had been in New York City? He hadn't been here since even before he had... left. Not with entei no longer here. America was someone else's problem to cover for. Hell, just London was hard to manage back then. He really did need to find some other people to work with again. A hud map popped up on the internal screen inside his mask, a red dot displayed on it.

"So you can't identify what device it is?" Jeisen asked seemingly no one.

Nolan merged from underneath the cloak. "Its energy readings are really quite weak, but it appears to be an old Guardian device. I think it's one of the emergency teleport devices, but it's hard to tell."

Jeisen grunted in response, looking out over the skyline from the high rise he was stationed on. If it was an old teleporter, he needed to retrieve it. Wouldn't want someone accidentally activating it and getting sucked into the old helicarrier. Be a pain to have to reconfigure the teleport configuration and wipe someone's memory. He shot out a grappling hook from his wrist, yanking himself to the next building. The device was close by just needed to get close enough to get a strong signal for it.

"Take stuff out." Summer placed an oddly shaped dish down on the table. "Put stuff down. Am I done yet?"

Erica pulled the flap back and looked down. "The box is half full."

"It's half empty, so I've done my job." Summer began walking back to her station by the door.

"We did most of the work?" Danny looked to the dish on the table, then back to the pile of whatever it was Bliss sent them. "You did one. It is an interesting one."

Summer plumped down and reached for her phone. "Thank you."

"It was also really small." Another couple of oddly shaped packages came out of the box under the tired grunt of Erica.

"Did Bliss give us instructions?" Taking something like initiative, Mitsuko began scrolling through her phone, but could not find anything matching her inquiry. "Or are we just-"

"We're just winging it." Danny grabbed the dish. "I just hope no one knows more about this than we do."

so done with the statue of liberty jeannie wonders what's next sightseeing huh maybe she can find the building the big old monkey climbed up, but first snack time new york has yummy pizza! so she looks for a place to get some.
