6 - New Costume

[neverlookbackdarling]

Is your hero looking for a new costume? Or do they just need a repair? Edna is ready to make you look fabulous.

[stalksindarkness]

He sits in the waiting room, his costume in his jaws, leaving him in his birthday suit, which is fine since he's in fur.

This costume of his though is less for fashion, more for function. It's supposed to help support him so he can stand on two legs and have more flexibility in fighting.

Even so, one would wonder why his costume is in shreds.

[forgottendecade]

Joji wasn't sure what happened to get him to actually think about a costume. He wasn't a hero, he wasn't really interested, but yet there he was, sitting in the waiting room, cracking his hand ever few minutes and pondering the merits of just leaving. After all, there was nothing wrong with regular clothes the way he fights, right?

[neverlookbackdarling]

Tiny Edna comes bursting through the door and looks the young man over quickly.
"Oh! Joji darling, good to meet you! Bob told me many good things, but what are you wearing?. You go out like this? NO! I cannot allow it!"

[forgottendecade]

"He.. did?"

She was a lot tinier than he thought she would be. Joji thought someone who could boss around entire teams of Golden Age superheroes to dress for battle would at least be up to his shoulders. He also was mildly surprised that Bob - Mr. Incredible himself - actually had any good words about him that did not include '...IF he stopped firing that ray gun in my general direction'. He glanced down at his clothing -regular clothing really - and then looked up.

"I guess. I never expected to get involved in any of this." As if that would explain anything.

[neverlookbackdarling]

"Life is full of the unexpected, and favors the prepared, darling!"

She scampers over to a chair and hops into it, then gesture to the one across from her.

"You will sit now. Sit! Sit! Relax!"

[forgottendecade]

Unexpected... well, that was something he should be expecting considering everything that had happened to him. He nodded and took a seat next to her, glancing around the room and quietly assessing everything. It wasn't the kind of place he expected but still, he could appreciate the taste behind it.

[neverlookbackdarling]

"NOW... obviously, we will cover the basics. Bulletproof, flameproof, the usual, of course. BUT, it must have STYLE! Style that matches the soul of the WEARER! So, tell me, what is the essence of Joji??"

[forgottendecade]

"Of course," he replied, settling easier into his chair. Business was something he understood, though he usually was the one to initiate it. Then again, that was in the past and he wasn't making weapons, he was getting armor of a sort.

"My right arm can't be covered by any material." The mechanics always acted a little strange even when they weren't covered and he really did not want to struggle with cloth when trying to switch out attachments. "As for my essence..." why not borrow a phrase off of his former employer? "I'm just a Kamen Rider passing through."

[neverlookbackdarling]

"Nothing over the right arm? Lucky for you, darling, asymmetry is in this year!"

Edna pulls out a notebook and scribbles something down.

"The 'Kaman Rider' thing means nothing to me, though. Tell me, what are your powers?"

[feelingincredible]

Ahhh, the glory days. Back in the 80s. Mr. Incredible, AKA Robert Parr has just come back from his latest battle with Professor Death, which left his super suit in tatters. This will not do at all.

His car pulls up to the front gate of Edna's post modern mansion. He leans out to the speaker. "Mr. Incredible, here for a patch job."

[neverlookbackdarling]

A bored-looking security guard appears on the screen at the gate. "Do you have an appointment?"

[feelingincredible]

Bob paused.

"...You heard who I am, right? She always makes time for me."

(Going to try and NOT make this just a repeat of the movie.)

[neverlookbackdarling]

"If you don't hav-"

Another security guard - this one a woman in her 30's - pushes the first guard out of the way of the monitor, while loudly 'whispering' at him "are you new or something?"

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Incredible. We are always honored to have you here. And can I just say, I'm a huge fan of... of... well just everything about you."

Heh yeah I realized I was treading a little too close to that

[feelingincredible]

"Haha, yes, well. I'm just trying to help people."

He fingered the remains of his super suit. It wasn't actually made by Edna, and while it had served him well, it was time to move on. "Listen...this might actually be a bit more than a patch job."

Re: Heh yeah I realized I was treading a little too close to that

[neverlookbackdarling]

"Oh right, of course, I'll let Ms. Mode know! Please, come on in."

There is a buzzing sound, and the laser gates part before Mr. Incredible's car.

[feelingincredible]

Bob drove in, looking around. Square trees, huh? Those were new.

Soon enough, he found himself at the front door, looking for a doorbell. He didn't like to just knock, since he tended to leave dents if he wasn't careful.

[omnitrixter]

Ben walked up to the gate in his usual jacket, sneakers, jeans, and T-shirt. In his pocket was as much of his allowance that he could save up. (Boy, had he struggled to save since the newest set of Sumo Slammers action figures came out.) But since he couldn't sew, he had to hire someone, and anyone who knew superheroes knew Edna was the superhero costume designer.

Thinking of the woeful forty bucks he had in his pocket (thanks to a recent bulk purchase of bandages, a first aid manual, and other medical goodies), he groaned. "She's just gonna laugh. Or I'm gonna be running errands forever to pay it off."

Still, he needed something to disguise his identity in case his luck ran out and he transformed back in front of people.

He pressed the intercom button. "Um...hello? Is anybody there?"

[neverlookbackdarling]

The face of a bored-looking security guard appears on the monitor at the gate. "Do you have an appointment?"

[omnitrixter]

"No, I don't," Ben said honestly. "But I need to talk to Miss Mode! It's about a...suit."

Wow. He'd hoped he'd at least be able to talk to her before getting kicked out.

"Everybody says she's the best."

Maybe if you look pathetic enough someone will take pity on you?

[neverlookbackdarling]

"Beat it, kid! No appointment, no admittance!"

The monitor flicks off.

Or he could try busting in. XD But that'll probably just make her mad, huh?

[omnitrixter]

"Come on, please!" He pressed his hands up against either side of the monitor, hoping to get the guy back on the line. "I just need to talk to her for a few minutes! I don't know what else I'm supposed to do at this point!

"Just give me five minutes! I don't even have to come inside! She can tell me to get lost via monitor!"

[neverlookbackdarling]

Just then, a long black limo pulls up the driveway. The driver rolls down his window to tell Ben off, but he is cut off by a fast-talking woman from within the vehicle.

"SHUT UP! STOP THE CAR! That boy, I must speak with him."

The door to the limo pops open. The fast-talking voice from within the limo calls out, "well, darling? I'm a terribly busy woman, I have no time to waste on kids like you, so get in now before I change my mind!"

[omnitrixter]

He straightened up at the woman herself barking orders, giving her a hasty salute because, wow, that is one commanding presence. "Yes, ma'am!"

He climbed in, nearly catching himself in the door as he does so. He gave a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Miss Mode."

6 - New Armor

[johannesthetraitor]

The Gray Knight wasn't one to get out of his armor, but he knew he was needing a new set of steel. He decided that someone obsessed with fashion might make him something more functioning for the modern era. It was only magic that kept his thousand year old armor half way effective.

"Do you do work with steel and metal?" He asked her when he came into her office.
