A Journey Through Time (Tintin x Reader)

'You're pulling our legs!' Captain retorted.

'I'm sorry sir, but there is no Professor Calculus here' the man took of his round glasses.

'Have you seen this person by any chance?' Tintin pulled out a photo of the professor from his wallet. He showed it to the receptionist.

'No sir, I do know Professor Calculus, haven't seen him for years' he smiled apologetically.

'It's no point arguing Captain' I said.

'We got to check all the other hotels in Geneva' Tintin remarked.

'But how on earth are we going to search all of them? There are many!' Captain argued.

'He's right Tintin. It's impossible. Besides, I don't think we'll go much far about this today.' I checked my watch.

'Then we have to find him the first thing in the morning' Tintin stated. 'Alright, we'll spent the night here' he concluded.

'Excuse me Sir, can we book three rooms please?' He asked the receptionist, to which he responded with the available rooms.

Tintin managed to book three rooms for each of us. Which must be quite expensive. A butler carried our bags and took us to our rooms. All three of them are next to each other so, it felt safe.

Captain tipped the butler and turned towards us.

'Well, this is it then.'

'Yes. we can get in touch with the organizers of the congress tomorrow, to find a clue on where professor might be' said Tintin, while opening his door.

'I just hope we'd find him soon' I sighed.

'Don't worry yet (Y/N), get some rest. We had a long day' Tintin smiled weakly.

I was so tired I yawned in reply.

'See ya tomorrow then. Night lads' he opened the door and went in.

'Night captain' we both said together.

I turned towards Tintin.

Guess it's my turn now, good night Tintin'

'Good night (Y/N)'

I closed my door, dropped my suitcase on the floor with a thud, and fell face flat onto the ultra soft bed.

The next day

We all met at breakfast the next day in the dining hall buffet.
Gathering in a table with our meals, we started discussing our plans.

'So what's the plan?' I asked as I took a bit of my toast.

'There's no point in checking other hotels, Calculus only stays here' Tintin started making his coffee. 'We got to find an organizer from the congress...But we have to do it undercover' he concluded.

'How are we going to do that?' Captain asked.

'Remember we met a friend of Professor calculus here? Professor Toplino? I think we should pay him a visit' Tintin stated.

'You think he might know?' I asked.

'I believe so, calculus contacted him for his ultra sound experiment some years back. So he might be a part of this convention too'

'What about directly going to the headquarters and see?'

'No. We have to keep ourselves low profile.'

Captain shot up, surprising both of us, spilling our coffee. 

'All hands on deck! Abandon ship! Alright let's move then!'

A few minutes later, here we are in the reception again.

'Mr Topolini, topolinio, aha! Toplino!' The receptionist pointed out the address from the giant address book.

'Is this the person you're looking for?' He turned the book towards us and looked down from his glasses.

Tintin read the address.
'It's an address in Neon. This is it! Thank you sir' he nodded in regard.

We gave our keys to the receptionist and headed outside.

'Taxi!' Captain boomed and within second a black Citroen stopped infront of us.

'To Neon please' Tintin said as we got in.

It was a beautiful ride in the countryside. The busy streets faded away as we drove through.

We soon entered a quite neighborhood, with beautiful cottages.

Our car stopped infront in one of them. It was a white two storied cottage. It had a large wall and a gate, which was open.

We got out of the car. Captain paid the driver and he left.

'So quiet' I mumbled.

Ha! So was the last time we were here. The next thing we know is the house is blown into pieces!' Captain snorted.

What a welcome.

We went inside the premises and Tintin rang the doorbell.

No answer.

He rang the bell again and looked at us. Me and captain shrugged.

We waited for about a minute and just as Tintin was about to ring the third time, the door was opened by very frail old woman. She was shaking so hard  she could barely even stand up.
She smiled at us and I could see she lost almost all her teeth.

'What can I do for you son?' She blinked at Tintin.

'Oh uh...Good afternoon Ma'am, we're here to meet Professor Topolino' Tintin smiled kindly.

'Merci!' The old ladies face sagged, her hands started to shake like she had a fit.

'Are you alright ma'am?' I asked, worried.

'My precious little boy! He passed away a year ago' She made a cross sign and began to sob.
