They get to Dr. Daafenshmirtz's tower fairly quickly. Fiona's preferred mode of transportation, when on a case like this, was by far a motorcycle. Fiona was good at driving just about anything, after all, and Pippa and Ris certainly had no complaints if a motorcycle got them to their destination in half the time that a car would have taken (rush hour traffic is a bitch in the Tri-State Area. Situations like that require....agility). O.W.C.A. had very generously provided Fiona with half a dozen motorcycles to choose from on any given day, and so that day, Fiona had hopped onto her one with green flames, Pippa following closely behind her, and taken off down the interstate, the wind whipping at her hair.
When they pulled up at Dr. Daaf's ridiculously tall tower, shaped like one of those statues from Easter Island, Fiona saw the car that Ris had taken parked in the front...though Ris herself is nowhere to be seen.
Did she go in without us again? Fiona wonders, briefly, as she parks her motorcycle in the spot next to it. Fiona takes her set of keys, opens the trunk of the O.W.C.A.-issued car, and grabs the equipment that she requested. She hands Pippa her stuff and then follows her sister towards the building.
When they get there, Fiona immediately sees that Ris had already engaged a few of their adversaries. Honestly, Fiona wasn't sure why she expected something else. She immediately goes to help Ris deal with the other men, and even though combat wasn't necessarily her strongest area, she could definitely hold her own against a few Rent-A-Goons that would have intimidated anyone other than three of O.W.C.A.'s top agents.
Once the security guards are taken care of, Fiona silently follows Ris into a side door, which leads to a short corridor with two elevators. Seeing as Fiona doesn't really feel like taking the stairs up however many goddamn floors it is until Dr. Daaf's penthouse, she shrugs and presses the button to go up. The three of them pile into the elevator, and Fiona listens to the soft dings as they pass by each floor.
Finally, they're at the top floor. Ris exits the elevator first, and Fiona follows closely on her heels. She pauses, though, tugging sharply at Ris' sleeve, when she hears voices coming from inside the door that leads to Dr. Daaf's penthouse.
The voices are fairly faint, but Fiona is pretty sure that one of them is Dr. Daaf. The other...
Fiona flushes when she realizes who the other voice belongs to. None other than Vincent Daafenshmirtz-Martinez, AKA the hot dude she met last semester in one of her CS classes, who appreciates her nerdy jokes and doesn't think it's uncool when she knows way, way, way more than him about any given subject. She ducks her head, quickly, hoping that Pippa and Ris don't notice, and sets about finding another way in.
Pippa, however, seems to have different ideas. She unhooks one of the blasters from Fiona's belt and starts messing with the settings, then points it to the door. "No, don't!" Fiona hisses. "Someone's standing right by the door!"
Pippa hesitates, her finger hovering right above the trigger, and that's when the door swings open. Dr. Daafenshmirtz's alarmed voice floats through the air and into the hallway. "No, don't, you'll let in those three agents-"
Vincent, Dr. Daaf's son, is standing at the threshold, giving Ris, Pippa, and Fiona a nonplussed look. He glances at the blaster in Pippa's hand, and lets out a snort. "Oh, they would have just blasted the door down anyway," he says, rolling his eyes. Then he steps outside, holds the door open. "Come on in, you guys," he tells them, raising an eyebrow.
Fiona gives him a guilty look, and goes in first. Ris is next, and then Pippa, still holding the blaster.
"Hey! So you were going to blast the door down!" Dr. Daaf protests, indignant.
Vincent shrugs, waves. "I'll be going now. Catch you guys later." The door swings shut behind him.
Dr. Daaf frowns. "Well, since you're already here, might as well make yourselves comfortable," she says, airily. "No tea for you, though, since you were about to blast down my door for the third time this month."
Ris steps forward. "What the hell are you doing here, Dr. Daaf?" she demands, and Dr. Daafenshmirtz sighs, a tad over-dramatically.
"Well, long story short, I'm covering the Eastern Seaboard in tinfoil, if you were wondering, which I know you were, because O.W.C.A. definitely tracks what I order off Amazon now, don't they? But after I do that, I will move the Eastern Seaboard to the West, by using my Magnetism Magnifer, thereby reversing the rotation of the Earth!"
Fiona sneaks a glance at Pippa. What the fuck is she even talking about?
