《Prankster》Prank 52: Where should we go next
Advertisement
Most of the equipment was transported to the island lab, but Penny still had cool stuff to show. Her entire laboratory was covered with hologram projectors and the supporting equipment and worked several times better than Tony Stark’s laboratory in the comics and movies. Also, she still had a few fabricators laying around, the life pod, avatars and more. Little by little, everything was shown and explained to Jenny.
-Just wait until I show you how Earth looks from space. Oh, yes, you will need this in the future.-
Penny swapped the watch on Jenny’s wrist with one containing the clothing inventory and explained to her how it worked. Even if she was new to it, Jenny was still able to crudely manipulate her magic power and activate the device. The next moment she was wearing a new, beautiful dress that came to just over her knees. That is when Penny spotted the cast, still on Jenny’s legs.
-Oh, I still haven’t told you, you don’t need the cast anymore. Not that you ever needed it in the first place. My healing is more thorough than that, after all.-
-Wait, what do you mean?-
-Remember when you woke up after the crash and you remembered it being way worse, than what I told you it had been? Well, it was. As soon as I heard about the crash, I teleported to the hospital, healed your injuries and modified the doctor’s memories about your condition. But I didn’t want to have to make up convoluted stories or modify your own memories about the event, so I left them think you still had injuries to cover why you were in the hospital and stuff.-
-My legs have been itching for weeks and you are telling me it was all for nothing?! Remove them from me this instant!-
Penny complied and a few minutes later the cast was removed, Jenny’s legs were washed and groomed and then the two had a long and pointed conversation about some things. Mainly about keeping secrets if the two of them were going to continue to date. Penny agreed to tell her everything from now on.
-And speaking of which, have you figured out already, that The Prankster was me all along?-
-Wait, so the conspiracy theories online about our company being responsible or helping with the world conquering aren’t actually conspiracies? You staged the break in and stole from all those labs all over the world!? Wait, you took over the world and then just left it alone as if nothing happened!-
-Come on, we both know I have the best technology in this world and couldn’t have been able to succeed without it. But I couldn’t involve the company, so I had to steal everything I had. And the rest was just so no one would suspect me. As for me taking over the world, no thanks. I did the whole thing to pull a prank. For the whole week the world believed I was an alien that came to take over Earth. I even spoke in Klingon and everything. But no, ruling over the planet is too much work not worth the headache. Now, if you will come with me, I want to show you something.-

Penny led her partner to the life pod and the two took their seats, then Penny teleported them in space. The view from up there was breathtaking and Jenny was struck speechless, sitting there and admiring the view. Penny was a little more accustomed to the experience, having been to space several times to install signal transmitters, but she too was enjoying the moment, siting right next to her girlfriend, sharing a moment that few others have lived. But in the end, she had to interrupt the moment and tell Jenny to activate her spacesuit and buckle her seatbelt, then after she did, Penny flew the pod to the asteroid belt between the outer planets of the solar system.
-So, what are we doing? By the looks of things, you are flying us towards the edge of the solar system and I want to know why?-
-You know that one movie in the MCU where Thanos is sitting on a throne made out of an asteroid? Yeah, I want that. Plus, every theoretical space elevator needs an inverse pendulum made from an asteroid or another large structure to function, so think of this as a preparation for when I want to make a space elevator. I will just build myself a cozy space station hideout from several asteroids and furnish it. To be more livable.-
-So, we are going to the asteroid belt, because you want to play supervillain and have space fortress?-
-You know, I could always steal or make you a super suit, maybe Iron Man and we could play super villain and hero. I make something bad, you catch me and then “punish” me back home.-and as she was saying the word “punish” Penny was talking all sexy and wiggling her eyebrows, suggesting something very sexy and romantic was going to take place during the punishing part. Jenny saw the expression Penny was making through her space suit and blushed very hard.
-I will think about your proposal. We seem to have arrived at our destination.-
And so they were. In front of them, in the distance, they could see thousands of asteroids floating in the void of space, just waiting to be collected and turned into Penny’s dream station, in the sense that asteroids could wait for something to happen and didn’t just decide to do it themselves and in the process make a total disaster of some poor planet, not expecting the sudden visit.
So, anyways, the pod approached some of the bigger asteroids and penny parked in, then she left the cockpit and opened her pocket dimension. From there, micro bots started to float and go to the nearby rocks and collecting material from them, then the asteroid Penny was on, started gradually growing bigger and getting in shape. And while that was left on automatic, for her AIs to finish, Penny found some games where progression was just where she needed it and dimension traveled there to steal some space engine parts, solar panels and controls. She could tweak and modify everything later, but for now, she needed a quick and dirty way to steer the giant chunk of rock and other elements. Actually, was there any rock in there? Penny, and by that I mean The Author, should totally look that up.

Around an hour later, when everything was beginning to take shape, penny started installing bulkheads, decompression chambers and everything needed for controlling the course of the “station” and making it livable. She even took out an extra space suit she carried around and made some micro bots make a valve on the suit, which she then proceeded to open. Slowly, the chamber started filling with atmosphere, the pressure gradually rising and started to circulate around. If only she could find a way to control gravity, which would work in the real world, the place would be perfect.
For the next few hours, Penny continued to work on her “little” project, but to prevent Jenny from getting bored, she gave her one of the presents she had prepared for her. A book from the game that taught the principles and basics of the magic system, if the flavor text worked as intended, in the dimension or world the book was currently in. If it worked correctly, every time she visited a new dimension or world with magic, it would be able to teach them that world’s written and spoken magic language and basic spells and everything from there on was all about experimentation. Penny may have just created the most important magic book in all dimensions and realities and she was busy playing with her toys.
When the construction of the basics on the station was complete, Penny programed a course, enchanted it with selective invisibility and programmed it to circle the Earth in wait for her next whim. Then, she and Jenny were back in the pod and on their way home. During the journey back, Jenny asked all sorts of questions about magic and Penny did her best to answer them. She still hadn’t read the book, so she planned to do just that once they arrived home.
When the planet Earth came into view and they were on their way down, towards it, it came to Jenny’s attention that they were not on their way to America, but a small, foggy part of the ocean. Only, as they got closer and closer, she started to see the place was actually an island, hidden in the fog and with construction all over the place. Then, when they parked the pod, Penny gestured for her to exit and presented the place to her.
-Welcome to my island paradise. As you can see, everything is still under construction, but the new headquarters for Tinker Toys Technologies is finished and operational.
-You found an island that didn’t belong to anyone, in this day and age?!-
-Found? Who said anything about finding it? I build it from the underwater up with my own robot’s hands. It took months of work and a lot of battery power, but I think it was worth it, to have my own private island paradise.-
-You build your own island. Ha-ha ha, ha. And I am sure you are not even kidding. And I can bet you even build yourself a supervillain lair somewhere, right?-
-Want me to show it to you?-
Jenny just nodded and let herself be guided all around the building and towards the lair and laboratories underground. Penny was also super happy to show it all and explain what she stole and from where. How it worked, what it did and where she had used it. And at the end of the tour, Penny led Jenny to a big bedroom, where she fiddled with something, before turning around and with intentionally bad acting, started speaking.
-Oh, no, Jenny. Look, a space tentacle monster followed us back to Earth and now intends to breed all of Earth’s women. What should we do?-
She was wearing a control band on her head and before her was a brand new Sextopod, slowly making its way towards Jenny and the bed. Jenny quickly got the idea and decided to play along, just because she also wanted what was about to happen, happen.
-We should sacrifice ourselves and defeat it, by exhausting it. It is the only way to save all of women kind.-
And, for the rest of the day and most of the night, the two women fought the tentacle monster that came to Earth, until they were completely exhausted.
