April 10th 2011
Georgia was enjoying her time in the capital. Though today was the day of the award Ceremony.
"Are you excited about the ceremony?" A little girl says
"Of course, I am, though I wonder how the other countries are going to react to me?"
"Parahumans don't belong in the military but can one blame us when she identifies as part of the navy? I mean with that thing you are doing with the museum ships it is hard to deny what you are. Right, Georgia?"
"Of course Mr. President."
"Evans, call me Evans." President Evans corrects.
"Of course Sir." Georgia replies
President Evans sighs as his daughter giggles at the by-play.
"The Crude Oil milkshake was a nice touch though," Georgia says with an award-winning smile.
"You know, my advisors did not want you to stay here with us. "Parahumans are too dangerous" " Evans says jokingly
"We are sir, I'm just too patriotic and will always listen to my commander-in-chief." Georgia answers
"You have been a great guest though, are you absolutely certain you have no clue where our ice cream machine went?" Evans asks
"The ice cream machine has gone missing?" Georgia asks as she starts looking around suspiciously
"Did a destroyer come with me or sneak in?" Georgia asks
"I don't believe that would be possible. Right, some of the guests are here to meet you before the ceremony begins." Evans says
Georgia nods a little surprised to be led by the president himself.
The hallways of the white house made her spotters a bit nervous however what was going to hurt her?
"Captain Evans!" A female voice shouts from behind Georgia.
The battleship jumps in shock someone had snuck up on her. A spin on her heel and Georgia was facing a girl.
Georgia was fairly tall. She is a battleship after all. The girl who snuck up behind her was just half a head shorter than her. Georgia was staring at her radar due to her scale her radar picked up humans fairly easily yet this girl was invisible.
"Really Mary? I told you to just call me Evans." The president says
"I will once you let me call you by your first name." Mary
"Miss Zumwalt, your father was my commanding officer and once we meet again he will never let me hear the end of it." Evans says with a smirk
Georgia blinks several dots starting to make sense.
This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it
"Sir, she is similar to me… I think she stole the ice cream machine too." Georgia says as level as possible.
"Strategic transfer of equipment to an alternate location." Zumwalt corrects.
"Got it, the Ice Cream machine was misplaced," Evans says looking at his friend's daughter.
"You are a Zumwalt class…" Georgia says knowing exactly what type of destroyer was in front of her.
"I saw the paper for that. It was never approved." Evans says
A secretary is running towards them.
"Sir! You're late! The News Crews are all here and you have to speak in 2 minutes." She shouts
==========================================
Off in the Midwest.
The world was watching. Treaties were being broken and a cape was being acknowledged as a member of the military.
The TV turns channel switches to the news station. Georgia is standing on stage a few steps back behind the president while he is up at the podium giving a patriotic speech.
"That's her isn't it." A woman asks
"Yes Faith, There she is right there," Joseph replies
"For her faithful service to the United States and its allies. I am proud to award BB-70 a presidential unit Citation." Evans says with a smirk.
If it had been a purple heart or any other award, they would have acknowledged that she was a member of the armed forces yet with the one given to entire units that leaves room for interpretation. Paired with the fact the cape believes herself to be a battleship it explains quite a bit.
Jacob Seed laughs having seen through the scheme. It was brilliant, if other countries said they couldn't have BB-70 the United States could respond by asking why they couldn't have a ship.
"The move to the bay is still happening right?" Jacob asks
The mentally ill vet is excited to meet the new wolf that will for sure be joining the pack.
========================================
A man in a full red suit with a red hat and orange sunglasses sat on a wooden throne drinking red wine.
"I much prefer Netflix Seras. Though she looks to be a possible interesting fight." The man says
"But master she's getting credit as being the first parahuman to be part of the military. Is the Hellsing branch not part of Her Majesty's special division?" Seras asks
"Of course, we are now let me change the channel again."
