The Blue Beetle was an AI in its own league. It might not be able to surf the internet like JARVIS or Sigret, but it could connect to the brain waves of the host, Robin, in this case. With just a thought, blue and black nanoparticles converged to form a suit covering Robin's entire body. And of course he could change the shades of blue and black in his suit. He is completely covered by the armor which was not only bullet proof, but could also withstand missiles, provided the host could withstand the shock wave. And not only that, the suit also gave him a huge boost in strength and agility. In the game, Blue Beetle even took out Super Girl in story mode so one could imagine how powerful he was.
After donning the suit, he commanded Blue to to change the armor covering the hands to sharp spears. This looked cool and Robin couldn't help but smile. Now all that was left was to fly and check the back thrusters and the wings that should emerge once he wished for it.
After checking out his armor, Robin took the nano armor back to the Blue Beetle at his back. He couldn't normally understand what the Blue Beetle spoke to his mind but he could understand the general functions of the AI.He was more than happy to have Blue Beetle as the companion.
"JARVIS, I think it's time to bring the TARDIS to play." Robin said as he could think of only two things that could transport him from one place to another quickly and in the most secretive way possible.
One was using portal technology from different games like Portal and using them to move from one place to another but for doing that one needed to have another person or equipment at the destination. He didn't have that access yet.
Or he could take the burden of calling a ship that would allow him to travel from one place to another in the stealthiest way possible. What ship would he choose, if not TARDIS. Sure, other ships might look cooler, then again it came with parking space constraints, whereas TARDIS could just fit inside his bag.
"Sure sir, but I would like to warn you not to alter the internal functions of the TARDIS. My recommendation would be giving the pilot seat to Miss Sigret here."
"Do you think so lowly of me JARVIS?" Robin asked, feeling insecure.
"No sir, but humans tend to commit more mistakes and in this case, a small mistake could cost your life, sir. As an AI who is here to serve you, that would be rather tragic."
Robin just shrugged while his laptop loaded the latest Doctor Who game which had TARDIS. There were TARDIS in all Doctor Who games but Robin went for the latest. In order to make sure that they had enough space for placing the TARDIS they came to an open space in the family room, the biggest in the house.
Both Myrene and Sigret were curious about this thing that was supposed to break the very fabric of physics that they had known in their life. In no time, Robin brought out the TARDIS and kept it on the small open floor. It gradually became large and took the shape of a typical old British style phone booth.
"I will go in first and you can follow me." Sigret suggested as her prime instinct was to safeguard Robin and Myrene. Robin didn't refuse and, Sigret opened the door and walked in, followed by Robin and Myrene.
It would suffice to say that Robin was beyond thrilled and his knees were shaking as he slowly walked in. This would be his very first spaceship. Of course, it wasn't anything like the typical spaceship but in the end it was one and it could even be a timeship if he wanted it to.

Robin and the girls were welcomed by the famous circular console. The room had multiple doors on all sides and even a small staircase and balcony that led to different rooms and other places where they could live and enjoy their time. Of course, Sigret would be the one piloting TARDIS. She had already gone through all the episodes of Doctor Who and also watched the whole gameplay on the internet so she was the best pilot they had.
"This is amazing. Much better than I thought."
"Much bigger than I expected it to be." Robin was very cautious not to go near the station and mess things up. He would actively avoid that and go over to other places where he could rest and sleep.
Myrene too was excited as she was already checking the different places that TARDIS offered and Robin joined her. Sigret was busy looking over the whole station and making sure that her knowledge was sufficient and if there were any gaps in it.
Robin spent the next hour touring the whole TARDIS. This spaceship had everything, starting from multiple luxury rooms, to swimming pools, a botanical garden, power rooms, kitchen, a wardrobe which could replicate clothes of any design and even a fucking zoo!
Gengar who had accompanied them was beyond excited seeing such a huge place and even a zoo where he could always have fun.
"Gengar, now you can live here and have unlimited fun."
"Gengar... Gengar.."
TARDIS was even more amazing than they thought. Finally after a long walk, they returned back to the main control room where Sigret had opened an interface that allowed them to view outside in a 3D hologram.
"Is everything all right?"
"The game didn't do justice to TARDIS, there are features that are more consistent with the comics and the series."
"Of course, a game could never show the true potential of a spaceship."
"I have locked the storage room which contains dangerous items and under no circumstances the room would be opened."
"Aye.. Aye... Ma'am."
Sigret and the rest spent some more time inside TARDIS while she explored the various functions of this miraculous ship. Her eyes sparkled with awe and glee. Robin was hungry so Myrene went to the well stocked kitchen in the TARDIS to cook some food for him. Robin was still taking time to absorb knowledge about this new world that he was pushed in. TARDIS was like a world inside of its own. He couldn't ask for more.
"Are we done with admiring this place?" Sigret smiled mischievously.
"It was you who was busy tinkering with the control station. We were just admiring this place."
"I have locked on the coordinates of the place where we need to go. They are in a small three storey building just outside Cairo. Since this ship has a cloaking mechanism we can just step on their roof and carry out our mission while also avoiding detection by surrounding people."
"Yes. That would be great."
"When do we need to go?"
"There are still a few hours left and I want to strike at midnight."
"Okay. Until then I am checking the rooms."
Robin said as he hungrily ate the pasta. Myrene had already learnt how he liked his food and he loved her cooking. He had already decided to keep her as his cook forever.
Few hours went by and Robin took a nap in the master bedroom. The room was huge with a king sized bed with just the right cushions and all the luxuries one could ask for. Maybe his own home in the Netherlands paled in comparison to this glorious master bedroom.
Of course he had to take the Blue Beetle off before sleeping. Having a metal backpack on his back didn't bode well for a restful sleep. The only downside was that taking the Blue Beetle out forced it to go into sleep mode. It always needed a host to function.
It was 10 pm when Sigret came and told me that it was time to go. He took the Blue Beetle and came to the control station.
"You are not taking the Zenith sword?" Sigret asked when she saw him with only the Blue Beetle on his back.
"I told you, I am not here to be a serial killer. I would handle it in the most non-violent way possible."
"Yeah.. Yeah... We will be leaving now." Sigret said as she pulled a lever.
If anyone was outside TARDIS looking at it then they would see that the phone booth had just vanished from its spot.
When the TARDIS appeared again, it was on a different continent altogether. This was the first instant transportation for Robin and maybe for humanity itself and he didn't feel any jerks or discomfort. The only thing that changed was the 3D hologram which showed that the scenery had changed outside.
