My New Teammates Pt. 3
After finally escaping from Kamala and her storm of embarrassing and sometimes even concerning questions for what felt like hours on end, Yuno ended up in front of what he could only guess was Viv's room and knocked before suddenly leaping back as he found himself face to face with the synthezoid as she warped through her door, looking at him.
Yuno: Uh...Hi.
He gave her a little wave.
Viv: Hello, Yuno. It appears it is my turn now.
Yuno sighed and chuckled softly.
Yuno: Yeah, sure, looks that way.
Viv tilted her head slightly, observing Yuno with a curious, almost analytical gaze that seemed to pierce right through him. Her expression was calm, yet there was an undeniable warmth even in her metallic eyes.
Viv: In that case, please come in.
She morphed back into the door and opened it from the other side, letting him in. Her room was as basic as can be, the only exception being the bed or, in this case, the lack of one, replaced by a long wire attached to the wall. The desk had a highly advanced computer on it and pictures of her family, which instantly made Yuno wonder how that entire situation even worked. Meanwhile, Viv herself was wearing a green shirt with three yellow diamonds on the front and some cargo pants.
Viv: Welcome to my room, Yuno. What would you like to do?
Yuno: To be honest, I've kinda just been going with everyone's flow. Whatever you wanna do, I guess?
Viv: Interesting. In that case, we can play a board game, watch a movie, engage in kissing, talk about your experiences with the others, or we c-
Yuno: Wait, wait, wait, dial it back a sec. what was that last one again?
Viv: Talk about your experiences with the others.
Yuno: No, before that.
Viv: Oh, you wish to engage in kissing? Very well, then.
Yuno:
Yuno's face instantly heated up, but before he could even think to respond, Viv hovered over to him, gently grabbing his chin, and moved his head up just enough to look at her before leaning in and capturing his lips. Yuno froze, his brain completely shutting down, spiraling and short-circuiting.
She finally pulled back, her face as unreadable as ever, leaving Yuno in a state of shock, his cheeks burning a bright red.
Viv: I hope that was a satisfactory experience for you.
Yuno: Duuuuuuuuh
Viv: Yuno, are you...alright?
He shook his head, finally snapping back into reality.
Yuno: Uh, what the hell was that?!
Viv tilted her head, confused
Viv: That was a kiss, or so my information shows. Was it bad?
Yuno: I mean, no, it wasn't bad, but you can't just do that.
She looked down and then back up at him.
Viv: I understand. Do not kiss you has been added to my database.
Yuno: That's not what I-
Yuno sighs, rubbing the back of his head, trying to find the right words.
Yuno: Look, Viv, you can't just go around kissing people randomly, especially those you just met. You kiss the people you love. People that are special to you. You get what I mean?
Viv looked down and back up at him once again, processing his words to the best of her abilities.
Yuno: Hopefully, she understands me n-
Viv: Understood. I shall only kiss others with consent.
Yuno instantly faced palmed, a faint mark etched on his face as he slowly pulled his hand away.
Yuno: How was that not in there alre...Ya know what, never mind, and yes, Viv, you should get everyone's consent before you kiss them.
Viv: Understood. Now, shall we kiss again?
Yuno just sighs and looks over at the computer
Yuno: Let's just watch a movie.

Two more to go, that was all Yuno could think about as he ended up in front of Torunn's room and knocked on the door...only to get absolutely no response. He tried knocking again, but there was still no answer, and just as he was about to knock one more time, Gwen called to him from down the hall.
Gwen: Hey Yuno, she's not in there right now. I think she went to the training room.
Yuno: Oh, alright, thanks Gwen.
He turned to leave, but before he could go far, Gwen caught up with him.
Gwen: Wait, before you go, there's something you should know about Torunn. She's never really been the easiest person to get to know at first, and she's a little intense, so be careful when you first try to talk.
Yuno nodded, shooting her a soft smile
Yuno: Don't worry, Gwen, I'm always careful.
Yuno made his way to the training room, and in the simplest of terms, it was a total massacre. Dozens of training bots ripped, slashed, and what could only assumed as shocked to shreds, and at the center of it all was Torunn. Instantly, Yuno found himself captivated by her sheer display of power, strength, and, to his own embarrassment...beauty, so much so that he failed to notice her making her way over to him.
Torunn: What are you doing here, mortal?
He finally snaps back into reality, slightly blushing as she looks into his eyes and clears his throat.
Yuno: O-Oh, uh, you were supposed to show me what you usually do in your downtime. I knocked on your door, and when you didn't answer, Gwen told me I'd find you here.
Torunn: I see. Well, this is my downtime that you speak of, and you are currently interrupting it.
Yuno gulped nervously, feeling a bit uneasy under Torunn's intense gaze. He scratched the back of his head, trying to diffuse the tension.
Yuno: Yeah, I guess you're right about that. My bad, I'll just get out of your hair and...
He turned back and headed toward the door before Torrun's sword slammed into the ground, blocking his path. Yuno stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes widening as he looked back at Torunn, shocked and slightly annoyed.
Yuno: What the hell, Torunn!?
Torunn: Fight me.
Yuno blinked in surprise, not expecting to hear that of all things.
Yuno: What? Are you serious?
Torunn crossed her arms, the intensity in her eyes unwavering.
Torunn: An Asgardian Warrior is never anything but. I've seen your strength mortal and wish to experience it firsthand in combat. Consider it as our time spent together.
She smirked, summoning her sword back to her hand and pointing it right at him.
Torunn: So, Yuno, if you wish to know me, then come at me!
Yuno stayed dead silent, processing her challenge in his mind as he stared at the thundering seriousness in her eyes before he smiled and laughed, gently moving her sword to the side.
Yuno: Alright, Torunn. I don't really know if I understand all the Asgardian stuff, but if it's a fight you want.
He cracks his knuckles, flashing an excited smile right back at her.
Yuno: Then it's a fight you're gonna get.
They both rushed to opposite sides of the training room, and Yuno quickly got into his fighting stance while Torrunn readied her sword, their eyes meeting once more.
Yuno: Ready?!
Torunn: Always!
Yuno: Okay...GO!!!
In an instant, Yuno and Torunn charged toward each other. Torrunn raised her sword before bringing it down, slashing at Yuno with blitzing precision and speed, which he just narrowly manages to block, the blade bouncing over and over off the backs of his Ki-laced hands.
Torunn: That mysterious energy of yours protects you well, mortal.
She steps back...
Torunn: But can it stop this!?
...And in the blink of an eye slams her sword down, shattering the floor beneath as bolts of lightning fire out from the crater. Yuno desperately leaps back to avoid getting hit, but the sheer force of the shockwave and the rippling debris sends him flying back.
Yuno: Holy crap, she's stronger than I thought!
Yuno smiles as he catches himself in midair and lands against the wall
Yuno: This is gonna be so fun!
Yuno launches himself from the wall, rocketing straight towards her, his fist clenched tightly. Torunn raises her sword, ready to block before Yuno seemingly...passes through her?
Torrun: W-what!? Where did yo-
Yuno: Right here!
In an instant, the real Yuno appears right before her, delivering a powerful uppercut that sends Torrun high into the air. Yuno waists no time following through, vanishing into the winds. He reappears above and grabs her by the arm as he flies past before hurling her right back down to the ground and bouncing off the floor like a basketball, her sword flying out of her hand in the process. Torrun tries to recover herself, but before she can even realize it, Yuno rockets down and drives a fist straight to her chest.
The impact sends shockwaves through the training room, cracking the floor even further. Torunn grunts, momentarily stunned by the unexpected blow. Yuno, however, quickly moves back and raises his hand as a ball of Ki forms.
Yuno: Time to finish this right now. Sorry, Torunn, you lose!
As the ball of Ki energy in Yuno's hand grows, Torunn pushes herself off the ground, a determined glint in her eyes.
Torunn: I will not accept defeat so easily, mortal!
She raises her hand, summoning her sword from behind Yuno, forcing him to narrowly leap out of the way of the incoming blade. Seeing the opportunity, Toruun, in a crack of thunder vanishes, Yuno's eyes shot wide before the feeling of cold steel pressed against his throat and a vice-like grip wrapped around his waist from behind.
Yuno: What the fu-
Torunn: Now it's my turn, HYAAAA!
With a booming roar, Torunn raises her sword, and a storm cloud forms within the training room, sending down thunder and lightning bolts from on high, showering down onto Yuno. He gritted his teeth as the electric currents coursed through his body, the intense shocks threatening to overwhelm him as Torrun's grip tightened around him as the storm raged on, the room illuminated by the flashes of lightning.
Torunn: Yield!
Yuno: Not...gonna...happen!
Yuno's body ignited as he powered up, fighting through the rippling pain as he struggled to break free.
Torunn: You will not survive much longer in this Yuno. You must yield!
Yuno: Don't...need...long...only...a...second!
As Yuno pushed his energy even further, his silhouette expanded, a familiar surge of power rushing through his veins. His body vibrated within Torunn's grasp, and his senses slowly began to heighten, and every heartbeat echoed in his ears. His body grew hotter and hotter from the inside, as if his blood began to boil more and more with each passing second. Meanwhile, on the outside, fragments of his pure white aura faded, now replaced by a burning crimson red, until suddenly...his mind went blank.
Yuno: GRAAAAAAAAH!!!!
In an explosion of energy and a blinding red flash of light, Yuno breaks free from Torunn's grasp, completely dispersing the storm with his force as he rockets into the air, his hair now wildly flowing and his aura now a full and complete roaring and firery crimson red.
Torunn watched in awe as Yuno ascended, his entire being engulfed in a fiery red aura. The intensity of his power was palpable, and even she couldn't help but be impressed by the display, even as a small chill crawled down her spine.
Torunn: By the gods...this heat...this power...what in all the nine realms is that!?
Yuno hovered in the air, his body surrounded by the blazing red aura, the intensity of his power causing ripples in the air around him as he slowly looked down at her.
Yuno: It's called...the Kaioken.
Torunn: Kaio wh-GAAH!
She couldn't even finish her sentence before, in the blink of an eye, Yuno rocketed toward her, delivering a devastating punch straight to her gut, sending her flying back. Tourrun tried to catch herself in the air, but Yuno instantly zipped behind her and charged both her and himself, crashing into the ground with an explosion of smoke and debris, shaking the entire foundation of the complex to its very core upon their impact.
When the dust finally settled, Yuno and Torunn lay there, both bruised, bloodied, beaten, and exhausted, gasping for air, yet in a strong silence before both of them...started to laugh.
Yuno: That was fucking amazing!
Torunn: Indeed it was. I've never had such an intense battle before!
Yuno slowly gets up first and offers her his hand, which she happily takes.
Yuno: I guess it's a draw then, huh?
Torunn: It appears so, but don't think I won't beat you entirely next time mort- I mean...Yuno.
He just chuckles
Yuno: Looking forward to it, you're seriously strong Torunn.
Torunn: As are you. That fiery technique of yours is unlike anything I've ever seen before. It felt as if your power had almost doubled from before.
Yuno rubs the back of his head, slightly embarrassed
Yuno: That's kinda because I was. The Kaioken is basically just an energy multiplayer and amplifies anything I use in a fight. Although my body does feel like it's dying right now though, hehe.
Torunn: Incredible.
He smiles at her before noticing pieces of dirt across her face and hair. He gently reaches over and softly brushes the dirt off her face, a warm smile on his lips.
Yuno: There we go. You look a lot more beautiful without all that dirt on your face.
Torunn's cheeks instantly flushed a light shade of pink and she looks down while Yuno blushes and clears his throat realizing what he said.
Yuno: W-Wait, I didn't m-mean for that t-t-
Torunn: Thank you, Yuno.
Yuno: Y-Yeah, no problem, Tori.
They smiled and giggled at one another, but before they could say anything else, a very angry Widow, alongside the others, burst into the training room, seeing the destruction the two had caused.
Widow: What the fuck happened here!?
—————
After a long, long explanation and scolding from Widow, Yuno followed Riri to her room, seeing as she was the last one left. Her room was basically a miniature workshop; lab blueprints coated the walls and the floors, mechanical parts were laid all over the bed, and the desk was absolutely cluttered by mechanical wire.
Riri: Uhh, maybe we should hang out in the living room instead.
The two of them moved to the living room where they now sat and watched tv. Rir was wearing a white T-shirt and black sweatpants.
Yuno: So I'm guessing you do machines and stuff?
Riri: Yeah, or upgrade our gear. It's really relaxing, actually.
Yuno: Did you make that Iron Man suit
Riri nodded proudly
She looked him up and down, his clothes still an absolute wreck from the fight with Torunn.
Riri: Im guessing you don't have yet huh? A suit, I mean.
Yuno: I mean, I have an old martial arts Gi my dad gave me, but I doubt it really fits all that well anymore.
Riri: Oh really? Do you think I can have a look at it then? Maybe make some improvements on it for you?
Hearing that, Yuno looked at her in admiration and surprise
Yuno: Really, you'd do that for me?
Riri: Of course you're part of this team now, plus every hero has to have a suit just tell me anything you have in mind for it.
Yuno: I think I might have a few ideas.
After a few hours of measuring and working, Riri hands Yuno over his new and improved Gi. He quickly gets changed and looks at himself in the mirror, smiling.
Yuno: Not bad, not bad at all.
