MPC 43A: From Rustport with Love ['Mon, Digi mon] [Yuuki]

As they got in the car, Owen was sure to make sure that Logan was secure, taking extra care to add an additional safety harness, as well as a large reinforced steel chain. Logan giggled.

"Oh daddy, what's the worst that could happen?" Logan asked. Before Owen could answer, Yuuki had set off before he had belted himself in!

"AAAH!! WAIT!" Owen yelped, thrown around the car as Yuuki madly drove through the streets of Terminus. He had got one arm in before he was pretty much tossed out of the car, bumping into the door and accidentally opening it, holding on to dear life as they sped through the city.

"Ooh, daddy, are you trying to waterski on the road?" Logan asked, watching him mimic that needlessly dramatic scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets where somehow avoiding the train caused one of them to fall out of the flying car.

"N-NO!" Owen yelled back, gradually climbing forward on the seatbelt and finally managing to sit down, just before Yuuki turned another corner, belting himself in. "Whew".

Finally they arrived. Owen staggered a little as he got out of the car.

"Wow, daddy, Yuuki almost drives as madly as you do" Logan observed.

"Hey that's not- oh wait, that's true" Owen said, sighing. He straightened his tie. "Right then. Shall we go see Tadao?"

"Whew, thanks" Owen said to Hikaru, accepting the hotdog for a bite. Honestly, the dorky digimon was used to bumbles and mishaps like this in his daily missions. But no lasting harm seemed to come to him. Logan had learned not to worry about it, nothing could hurt his daddy!

"I have a feeling that Tadao's got something more dangerous in mind for us" Owen answered Hikaru. "I was, ah, just warming up!" he hoped to brush it off without worrying his beloved Doru any further.

In the office, Tadao was seated as they entered, giving them a curt nod, his glasses flashing by the light of the computer monitor as he moved his head.

"Hello you four" he said. "I trust you arrived safely?"

"Actually kinda the complete opposite, sir" Owen said, chuckling nervously.

"Well, at least you're in one piece" Tadao said, turning on the projector, lighting up the wall on the side of a room with a map of the digital world. "I have just received intelligence from Rustport" he explained, pressing a remote control so the map zoomed in on the Western Flatlands. "An illegal facility has been located in the Ancient Ruins area. Reports are patchy, but, it seems that some kind of data is being produced here and sent directly to the human world".

"Any details on the data, Tadao?" Logan asked, climbing up on Owen's shoulders to see better.

"Only this" Tadao said, and a new window appeared on the projection. It was probably the strangest sentence Owen and Logan had ever seen - "Kim Kardashimon made Queen of Space".

"What the-?" Owen asked.

"It appears that this facility is designed to make fake news and spread it to Earth" Tadao said. "Needless to say, I need you four to shut down their operations. The masterminds involved appear to be these two" he made two more windows appear - one of a BlackTailmon, the other a Shoutmon. "Doris and Demitrev. They are armed and dangerous and have enlisted a small army to guard the facility. Information is scarce, so I need you three to conduct things very carefully".

"Will we have backup?" Owen asked.

"Daddy doesn't need backup~" Logan said, proudly.

"Yes, regardless, backup will be provided if asked, but communications must be discreet, I don't want you all in trouble" Tadao said. "So, any questions before you begin?".

Owen giggled happily and wolf-kissed Hikaru in return. Yes it was unprofessional, but, they weren't on an active mission yet. That and Owen found the Dorumon's outfit too cute, undoubtedly Hikaru would think the same of his. His tail wagged, but he regained his composure quickly. Best not get this intimate in front of Logan after all.

Ah, it had been so wonderful since their wedding. Owen had even worn a kilt that day to impress Hikaru, and many bagpipes were playing at their procession. And Logan was skipping between them, holding both of their paws. It was wonderful being a family for real this time.

But now was time for their jobs. And it seemed this was a serious one from Tadao. Owen had no further questions, but he kind of agreed with his husband's plan. But that wasn't to be.

"Alright then. You'll receive the usual suite of gadgets for this mission" Tadao advised, presenting them with various gadgets of subterfuge. Owen particularly liked the computerized glasses that he promptly slipped on his muzzle. "Well then, best of luck".

"Oh you know us, Tadao, we don't need luck" Owen scoffed, turned around, then walked straight into the doorframe. He turned red for a moment, straightened his tie, and turned around again. "I meant to do that" he said.

"Right... best calibrate those glasses first eh, daddy?" Logan asked. Owen nodded, doing so. Logan turned to Tadao. "So how do we get to Rustport? The usual way? Parachuting in from Daedalus?"

"Hmm... I think not" Tadao said, making the display on the wall show an image of a Trailmon. "There is a shipment of Lemonade to be delivered by Trailmon toward the facility. If you infiltrate-"

"We are NOT going by another LEMONADE Trailmon!" Owen declared, incensed.

"Oh... well... I gather Yuuki would be okay with driving there?" Tadao asked, uncertainly.

"Hee, that sounds like fun" Owen giggled, agreeing wholeheartedly with the idea. The red mood had an effect on him too, where his inhibitions tended to disappear, and he grew more confident and romantic in many ways. Especially when his husband was in the same mood. Tadao seemed more uncertain.

"A red moon? Hoo boy, remind me not to keep you up too late, Logan" he said to his partner. Logan pouted.

"But Tadao, red moons are so fun!" the Offmon objected. Tadao chuckled and shook his head.

"Not really fun for those around you though" he said. While Logan had never harmed anyone in this state, he was... rather excitable. Oh well. He'd just have to remember not to give him any Sunkist or any sugary drink like that. Maybe nice mellowing food?

Owen appreciated the kiss, but, Hikaru seemed confused about his mention of the lemonade train. "Ah, well, that was my first freelance mission" Owen explained. "We had to do the same thing, and... things got real messed up". Messed up was right. Owen had to wash himself five times to get the stink of poop out of his fur. "Koharu got the worst of it though, poor girl" he sighed. He hoped her armor protected her from the worst of it, but, he had never asked. Mainly out of respect because he didn't want to bring her trauma up.

So then, Yuuki would drive them? That sounded... okay. Logan chuckled. "Daddy, just put your seatbelt on after mine, you don't have to worry about silly things like chains" Logan said. Owen supposed he was right. That was really kinda dumb of him to do that earlier.

"Alright" Owen agreed. With his gadgets secured, Logan's too, it seemed the briefing was over. And so the road ahead would take them to the Western Flatlands, toward the ruins. What awaited them there, Owen and Logan were hesitant but excited to see.

Indeed, the drive to Rustport wasn't very eventful. Other than Owen got a little tired in the process as what happens when you're in a car driven by Yuuki for an extended period of time. Namely that every time he tried to nod off to sleep in the process, he'd be jarred awake by some obstacle or another. Eventually he fell asleep by blacking out, getting the necessary rest that way.

As they reached the Western Flatlands, Owen smiled at Hikaru as he talked. Then immediately blushed as Hikaru made a proposal to dress in rather visually pleasing clothing.

"Oh god yes" Owen said automatically, then realized Logan was there with them. "I-I mean..."

"Oh please, daddy, I know exactly what you mean" Logan said, scoffing. "I can evolve to Adult you know, I know what you're talking about. Bellamy told me".

Owen resisted the urge to growl. That damn horny Impmon corrupting his son like that. But, well, he supposed that made it easier in the end. Logan could indeed evolve to Adult, so, he saw no reason to keep him uninformed of those sort of things forever.

"Well, alright" he said. "If you know what your daddies get up to, well, maybe not talk about it outside our home please?" he chuckled. That'd make everything awkward, especially in that they were on a mission.

"Okay daddy" Logan said, grinning at him. Well then. That was all sorted. And as much as Owen was tempted, he had a mission here. That was to infiltrate an illegal facility, not infiltrate Hikaru's leather pants. That could wait for another day.

Eventually, they arrived at the point as had been shown in their mission briefings. From here they would have to disembark their car and find a way into the facility, bypassing the guards and security systems, entering undetected. Thankfully, this was why they had brought Logan with them.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, they won't be able to access any live feed of us!" he announced, activating his special Jamming Ray ability. So then, with this active, they would be able to enter the facility without being detected by cameras or any other sensory equipment. Owen beamed at his son, but, he hoped that Yuuki and Hikaru had a way to actually break into the facility. He trusted them though.

OOC: I think we've both got over 1500 words down, so if a mod wants to judge it, that's fine. We might continue this later if Yuuki still wants to.

Logan gave a sheepish, sly grin as Hikaru remarked that he wished he was present for the talk. "Well... it was kind of a spur of the moment thing really, Bellamy and Luke were talking about how they "share" data with their "romantic partners", then I asked if that was how I was born, and Bellamy said "yep" and..."

"As important as this conversation is to our development as a family, we are kind of on a mission here" Owen said, quickly. Honestly what would Tadao say if they all got captured while they were being distracted about talking to Logan about the ways of life? Nothing good most likely.

At the facility, Hikaru evolved to his Armor Perfect form, quite a cute form in Owen's opinion, but then again, by now he loved all of Hikaru's forms. Logan was just pleased to be in the facility.

"Okay, so, here we are" he said, continuing his jamming ability to block the cameras. "I, er, don't know how long it'd take for them to notice something's up with the cameras though, so, we should probably move fast?"

"Right" Owen agreed, consulting his miniature holographic map, which showed an outline of their facilities, complete with small representations of enemy guards and staff. "The more important levels seem to be down below, so we should head downward. The best way should be... this way!"

Owen then ran toward a downward leading stairwell. He was still in his Gaomon form, given that it was the most convenient. Logan happily followed him, waving his arms around like a crazy little cheerleader puppy to ensure his jamming ability remained active.
