Freya

Mia helped me select several outfits, luckily after I spent the three hundred points to unlock the three clothing catalogs my armor could mimic the clothes from them at no additional points. There was just one issue.

“What do you mean I can’t bring my swords?!”

I complained at the ludicrous statement Mia made, and to my surprise she didn’t immediately admit that she was joking but instead simply repeated

“You can’t bring your swords on the date.”

Ok now that I was sure I hadn’t began to hallucinate sound I narrowed my eyes at her and asked

“And why the hell not? You always carry a gun, how is that any different”

Mia looked at me for a moment, I thought that she had been stumped by my amazingly logical argument, but then she replied

“The difference is the gun I carry around with me is just the size of a pistol which means it is concealable, you can not compare it to carrying around two swords the size of you.”

As I opened my mouth to deliver the retort that would have won this argument for me as soon as I thought of what it was, and definitely didn’t speed up my perception to give me time to think of what to say. Titania spoke up

It seems that Miss Stitch’s issue is with your weapons sizes and lack of a way to conceal them. I don’t want to over step but perhaps if you were to purchase more concealable weapons she might be appeased. With your new body we could easily give you weapons that are totally concealable, while they won't be on the same level as your swords they may prove valuable in situations like this in the future. Also I doubt I need to remind you about the fact that you will still have your wings.

Returned my perception to regular and told Mia

“Fine no swords, I will get something that won’t be visible.”

Mia, who had no clue that Titania had talked to me, looked a bit caught off guard by my sudden change of mind and just nodded at me. So I asked titania

“What have you got for me?”

I recommend an internally stored weapon. Perhaps deployable claw-like blades could be combined with gravity manipulation technology which would widen any cut made with them and would make them more effective against heavily armored opponents and make openings for your feathers if they are unable to penetrate the armor.

“I like it, how much would that cost?”

It would cost 30,000 points

“Ok let’s do it.”

Very good, Miss Freya

Purchased- Personal Arm Weapon System (P.A.W.S.)

Cost… 30,000 points

Points Remaining… 1,302,149

I noticed the name which made me remember a few of the previous names, but before I could ask Titania About it, Mia asked

“So what did you get?”

I activated the P.A.W.S. to show her, it just looked like my nails became blade-like and extended to about 6 inches long coming to a viciously sharp point and put off a slight purple glow, they were even the same violet my nails had been.

I still was not happy about leaving my swords behind and wouldn’t be making a habit of it, but these would work as a compromise. I then retracted the P.A.W.S. and Mia said

“Just be careful not to accidentally activate them.”

Which earned her a glare from me. Before I can retort I get a message from Helena saying she will be here in five minutes. So I loudly say

“Shit! She is going to be here in five minutes!”

Mia actually had the nerve to laugh at me before responding

“Why is that an issue, you are ready aren’t you?”

To which I just glare at her again and reply

“You know you aren’t allowed to use logic to calm me down at a time like this.”

Which just makes her laugh harder at me so I tell her

“How about you stop laughing and make yourself useful and hop on your cameras and keep an eye out for her so I know which outfit to wear.”

Mia doesn’t stop laughing at me but gives me a thumbs up and while nothing visibly changes I assume she got on the camera’s surrounding the tower. A few moments of me be extremely anxious later Mia says

“Ok go with the more formal one.”

This made me grumble to myself for a moment as I dislike dressing up. But Mia had gotten me to agree to wearing a dress. The dress was purple with black lace and ended about a hands length above my knee. Mia had tried to get me to make it strapless which I eventually caved into on the condition that I also got to wear my leather jacket, which had absolutely zero knives hidden in it, as far as Mia knew. She had been adamant that I wear a choker, which in exchange for doing that I got to wear my combat boots. The choker was black and had my emblem, of my trench spike swords backed by angel wings, on it. I also had on some simple purple gem stud earrings.

Now dressed, my grumbling was interrupted by a message from Helena telling me she was going to land on the roof. So I turned to Mia and said

“She is landing on the roof so it looks like it is time for me to go.”

Mia gave me a hug and told me

“You got this, I am sure it is going to go great!”

To which I mumbled

“Thanks, see you when I get back”

I then turned and headed for the balcony of my room as I had no patience to wait for the elevator to take me up, so when I made it out on the balcony I launched into the air and was on the roof a few seconds later.

So I was there before Helena, so I watched what could only be her arriving. She was driving an extremely fast looking hover car that could only be vanguard tech. She landed a few feet away from me and a scissor door opened to reveal her to give myself enough time to pull myself back together.

She was wearing a black suit jacket that emphasized her muscular figure and dress pants with a light pink dress shirt with so many buttons undone I was worried all three of my hearts might give out.

Something I had never been able to notice when I had seen her in the past was that she was tall, a little over six foot three inches. So she was taller than the peak of my wings when they were folded on my back and a foot and three inches taller than the rest of me.

When I finally returned my perception to normal speed, Helena smirked at me like she knew what I had done which made me blush very hard. She then said

“Why hello there. You look simply delicious.”

She drew out the last word and I got the feeling she was enjoying making me squirm. But determined to not let her know how much she was succeeding I managed to respond in a causal tone

“Hey, you look great too.”

She smiled at me and said

“Well shall we get under way?”

To which I gave a smile of my own and replied

“Sounds good.”

As I approached the car I was confused for a moment when she came to the passenger side too but then she opened the door for me and gestured for me to enter. Which made me smile until I realized I was once again facing my biggest enemy, fitting inside of a car. Mia’s car was bad enough this was a sports car meaning it was much smaller, but I was determined to overcome this challenge and I steeled myself.

It was about five minutes later that I was finally successful. I was so happy that I let out a cheer of triumph, which apparently was too much for Helena who had obviously been trying not to laugh, so at my cheer she finally started laughing but honestly I didn’t mind she had a nice laugh. While still giggling she said

“I am sorry I shouldn’t laugh.”

To which I waved the apology away and replied

“It is fine, let’s just hope the Antithesis don’t learn about my true weakness. I can defeat hundreds of thousands of them but the moment I need to fit into a car, I have lost.”

Which was rewarded by more laughter this time I joined in. But I also made a mental note to buy a hoverbike already so I wouldn’t have this problem in the future.
