Okay but imagine Chiro, and maybe even Otto asking Sparx to charge their electronics, he does it. But when Gibson makes mention of how one of his machines are running out of power. “Well that sounds like a personal problem, get a charger buddy.” Is the first thing that pops out Sparx’s mouth

I’m dying, oh my god. He so would. What a little asshole. I love him so much.

He’d probably charge it eventually, but yeah, he would absolutely bitch more about that then he would helping out Otto and Chiro. 

...I gotta drabble it. 

No one’s reallysure when it starts, exactly. Well, that’s not entirely true. The first timeanyone can remember is when the Moon Buggy breaks down on Ranger 7, as they’regathering fuel for the Super Robot.

“Sprx, do youthink you could jump it?” Otto asks, peering into the engine.

Sprx glanced up. “Uh.Yeah. Sure.” He hopped out of the buggy and activated his magnets. A jolt ofelectricity later and they were back underway.

After that, itwas like a dam opened. When Chiro’s handheld ran out of charge, he turned the doeeyes on Sprx. Sprx rolled his eyes, but complied with the unspoken request. Ottoneeded a jolt of electricity for one of his projects, he looked at Sprx, Sprxactivated his magnets. Antauri looked droopy after a big fight, Sprx gave him asubtle charge.

Small things,things that he didn’t honestly need to do at all. He didn’t mind, really. Itwas nice to use his magnets for something good, after the Fire of Hate. A wayof reminding himself that his weapons weren’t just good for ripping monkeysapart.

‘Course, thatdidn’t mean he was going to do everythingwithout complaint. That wasn’t in his nature, after all.

“Sprx.”

“It’s the middleof the night, Brainstrain. What do you want?” Sprx grumbled.

Gibson scoffed. “Youaren’t even asleep.”

Well, no. He wasn’t.If only because these days, closing his eyes was more trouble than it was worth.He’d napped, though. He’d nap again in a few hours. It’d be fine. He’d be fine.Still, though.

“Well, no, but Icould’a been.”

Gibson scoffedagain, and Sprx was uncomfortably reminded that for all that Gibson spent lifewith his head buried in science experiments and inventions, he was stillobservant. Had to be, to be a pilot—and while Sprx was leagues better than hewas, Gibson was still a good one. (Not that he would ever admit that aloud.)

“Whaddya need,anyway?” Part of Sprx wanted to call him out for not sleeping, but that wouldlead to a conversation Sprx really, really didn’t want to have. Not now. Maybenot ever.

“That new weaponof Otto’s sucked up quite a bit of our power reserves.” Gibson sniffed, miffed.“While it certainly produced… results—” by which Gibson meant a big smokinghole in the middle of a Formless army—“it also didn’t leave enough energy leftfor me to run tests on the new Formless material. I need you to power themachine.”

Sprx, as he alwaysdid, said the first thing that popped in his head, “Well, gee, Gibson, thatsounds like a personal problem. Get a charger buddy.”

Gibson sputtered.

Sprx grinned, androlled onto his feet. “Is this the corruptive stuff?” he asked, as he made hisway to the door.

Gibson’ssputtering increased in volume for a moment, before the scientist closed hiseyes and took a breath. “Yes.”

Sprx nodded. SkeletonKing was back to using that Formless goo of his to infect perfectly averagepeople and make them into his goons. Just like with those circus freaks, backwhen times were simpler. If Gibson could identify what was in the goo, they wouldbe able to scan for it. Maybe even cure it, without having to kick the crap outof them. Probably not, though. The whole thing reeked of magical mumbo-jumbo,and they didn’t have a spellcaster on their team.

Though Gibson did still have that grimoire from the demon-planet.

“Let’s go get itcharged, then.”

“Ah. Yes. I… appreciateit.”

Sprx waved hishand. “Whatever. Just make it snappy, a’ight? We got crap to do tomorrow, andif you’re too tired, I’m tellin’ Antauri that you’re pullin’ all-nightersagain.”

Gibson made anoffended noise that had Sprx grinning again.
