Dee Dee Ponderosa - Night Owl

Rocky mountain way.

by Night Owl

I get to go out to help locate a power source. With Agent E and Axiom. Got my little recorder com unit. My energy reader tricorder. Both snug in my Pikachu pack. Now for the best part we get dropped off. Its up up and away for me. Nothing else like it. There is no better feeling in the world than this. Not even the swimming hole in the Deschutes! The world gets smaller faster and faster. Than I'm on the roof. Landing. Check up on coms. Oh boy. Agent E and Axiom broke in? This is going better than trying to catch piglets in a barn at nighttime? And about as dirty? Well, if they can break in. So can the Night Owl! But first I wanna look around. Make sure there ain't no one around. Looking to jump up into my business! My move quietly and listening skills take top billing. Over everything but my flight. I don't hear anything out of the ordinary. Not much is happening in or around the atrium. Not that I can hear anyway. I decide to hide again up in a crevice of the building. I'll wait here for the others to climb the stairs. They sure take their sweet time in that stairwell. Like waiting in line for a soft serve at the county fair. In the summer heat! Except without the sweet ending. Or is it?
 
Along, comes a little boy blue. In a suit of armor. Flying! But so do I. Dad gum it. If he didn't try to zap me. Looks like fire and rain in the Colorado rocky mountain sky. Lucky I was on the defensive from the get out. Blue boy has some sort of body armor? Looks tough! But....He shot first. Safe to say he opened fire? No reason not to see what he has. Later, I wake up in a small room. Might say he found the key to the door. And it was me.
 
"Well I ain't never" Feel like that time behind the old barn when that boy Thomas and my sister were...... um...... and they put the whooping on me faster and harder out in the old pasture than Uncle Buck could run out that old fox from a chicken coup, for watching them from the old tractor. Like I knew any better? Next, it's Axiom in my little recorder. This is just not my day! Or year or decade or half a century? That boy Axiom sure gets bossy. "Understood" I get up. Bust out of some sort of gift wrap? Dust myself off. Must be what getting married feels like? Miss Muh pa right now. My life is filled with wonder, but my hearts still filled with fear. Enter the building. See a man sweeping. We have a good talk. He's telling me this. He's telling me that. What's he trying to say? Says it doesn't matter. Until Axiom is on the recorder again. "Understood." I take my energy tricorder from my trusted Pikachu bag. Still works. Tough little gizmo ain'tcha? I scan the floor as directed. Not long before I find a power source. It's a big stone. All this is new to me. Aw shucks. It's better than the way we had?
