SPM: Generations

As promised, I led Mavric, Charlie, and Addy all back over to where Origana, Onyx, and Timpani were waiting. Timpani looked a little curious but concerned while both Onyx and Origana seemed extremely on edge. Those two can hold quite a grudge, so it might be a looooong day.

"What are you three doing here?" Timpani asked with a smile as we neared. "No offense, but I was kind of expecting your parents..."

Timpani chuckled at this, probably trying to show that she didn't want to be mean about it, but she was probably hoping for someone more qualified to show up for help. Honestly, I didn't blame her much.

"Yeah, sorry, Mrs.Timpani. Our parents were all kinda already called over to help from some guy with a green bandana and black jumpsuit..." Addy sheepishly replied.

Origana and Onyx both turned and looked at me, their eyes narrowed as we probably all shared the same thought. Timpani sighed, running a hand through her hair as she did.

"Well, at least we know that Mr.L has been busy, heheh," Timpani pointed out. "In all honesty, he's probably going to be tied up for the next few hours trying to explain everything to them."

I looked at Timpani in horror at the thought and she quickly shook her head, holding up her hands in defense.

"Not literally! Not literally tied up, don't worry!" Timpani reassured.

I took a turn letting out a breath of relief as Charlie stepped up with a grin on her face.

"That's why we decided to help out instead!!!" Charlie cheered.

Timpani smiled in response, walking up to them and giving them all hugs.

"Thank you all, really, I appreciate the sentiment," Timpani told them as she pulled back, "but we don't really need the extra help from you three..."

"HA!" Origana blurted out, pointing a finger at them.

I quickly smacked Origana's hand, earning a yelp from her as I glared.

"Why not? We came all the way down here to help out!" Mavric practically whined.

Timpani chuckled again, shaking her head with a sheepish expression.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not even going to let Onyx or Origana here come with us for this," Timpani stated.

"WHAT!?" Onyx and Origana immediately exclaimed in response.

Addy snickered at the two of them a little, earning another round of glares from my fellow villain kids. I flinched a little when I suddenly felt Timpani's hand on my shoulder. Looking over, I could see her cheerful expression aimed toward the others.

"DJ here is the only exception, and that's because he was specifically told to go down there for this..." Timpani replied.

Origana arched her eyebrows at Timpani, giving her a quizzical look.

"So, you're telling me that you're sending DJ to deal with that psychopath ALONE?" Origana questioned.

Timpani quickly shook her head, laughing with a sheepish smile as she waved the thought off.

"No, no, no, no, no. Definitely not, ha," Timpani awkwardly replied with a laugh. "I will be going with him down there."

She placed her hands on my shoulders, smiling as she pulled me closer to her.

"I think just the two of us will have a shot!" Timpani cheered.

Onyx lifted his hand, an arched eyebrow underlining his expression.

"You don't need to raise your hand to ask a question, Onyx." Timpani chuckled.

Origana snickered at Onyx as he simply rolled his eyes, blushing in embarrassment as he cleared his throat.
