Lessons to Be Learned

(ooc: July 5th, closed only to Elastico and Miss Kitty Mouse. I apologize for the sucky title.)

The small, lime green experiment looked down at the ground as he sat down on a log, not to far away from the Heroes' camp. It had been a few days since the strange behavior of his cousins began. His jaw still ached from Kixx knocking him in the face, and some of his burn wounds still stung, courtesy of Melty. It saddened Elastico to see this, the normally impish and playful experiment was now sad, sad to see that his family had been acting so strange, it was obvious they didn't have control, but why where they acting like this? The clown experiment wanted answers, he wasn't certain if Jumba was here, if he was the green experiment would surely go to him.

He then sighed and continued looking at the ground, until a familiar sound caught his attention.

It has been four days since Miss Kitty has seen the lime green experiment. She wanted to find him and ask if it possible that he could help her spy on Scar's army. "I really hope Elastico is okay. I haven't seen him since I arrived at the camp."

She sees Elastico sitting on a log. "Elastico do you think you could help me.....," Miss Kitty trails off when she notices that Elastico is hurt really badly. "Are you okay?"

Elastico looked up at Miss Kitty. "Oh it's just you." he thought relieved. If it was anyone else, he probably would've been embarrassed or tried to shoo them away, the stretchy alien was in no mood to play pranks or cause any mischief what so ever. He then decided to reply to the femme's question. "Yes, I'm fine." he replied. "Cousin, hurt me with fireball." he continued before a smile formed on his face. She didn't want her to worry about him.

Curious to why she was here, Elastico cocked his head a bit. "Um, what you doing here?" he asked. Before one of the burns on his left arm began to sing again. He gently put his green hand on it and gritted his teeth to fight off the pain.

Realizing it might be better idea not to pry to much into what happened Miss Kitty didn't ask about the burns anymore. "You can stretch into any shape and size right?" she asks. "I'm going to be a spy for the Heroes within Scar's army and wanted to know if you want to help."

Elastico got up from where he was sitting. Stretching into any shape and size? Now this was his forte. "What do you think Jumba designed me for, making teddy bears?" the experiment thought to himself with glee. It was about time that he got to show off his fantastic elastic abilities. The last time he did that was back at the circus in Hawaii, and that seemed like a lifetime ago for Elastico.

Elastico grinned and said. "Okay!" he exclaimed excitedly. For Elastico it would've been much easier if he said it in his native alien language, but he couldn't be to sure if Miss Kitty understood or not.

Miss Kitty was glad he said yes. "At least I'll have someone I can trust over there," she thinks to herself. "I'm planning to leave tonight. I can't be away from Scar's army for to long or questions might be asked. Do you have anything you need to do?" Miss Kitty says.

Elastico looked down at his burn marks and melted elastic dried up on his green skin. It's not like he had anything better to do. Unless he wanted to ponder on the events that had happened during the last few days. And that was something he definitely didn't want to think about.

The green alien walked over to the female and nodded his head to the side. "No." he replied.

"Do you know how to get to the Outlands?" Miss Kitty asks. "It would probably be better because you wouldn't be seen with me. If I am seen with you walking toward the Outlands my cover could be blown."

"The Outlands? You mean Scar's territory?" the clown experiment now was a bit frightened. He hadn't even participated in his first battle yet. Of course, Elastico kept a cool demeanor and wasn't worried much about his own well-being, it was Miss Kitty that he had worried about. She was new to this war, it was extremely dangerous for a newbie to go out into enemy territory and successfully spy on them.

Elastico then looked at some of his melted elastic skin, dry on his belly. He sighed and reluctantly said. "Okay, what you need to know?"

"No, I meant do you know how to get there? I know how to get there because my former employer told me," Miss Kitty Mouse asks. "Are you nervous, Elastico?" she asks noticing that green experiment is trying to force himself to remain calm.

Elastico looked up at the female and nodded. "I'm fine." he responded. He then thought about her previous question, the Outlands? While the experiment had heard many rumors and stories about the horrid wasteland, Elastico hadn't ever been there, or even knew how to get there. "No, but we could get a map." he suggested to Miss Kitty, he didn't really have an idea where the Outlands were, and a map only seemed like a common sense idea.

Wait, there was something about what she said that threw the clown off. "Former employer?" he questioned with a raised brow. Former employer, that could only mean, was she,one of the Animal Villains?

"I guess a map would be useful for you," Miss Kitty says. "I won't need the map but I guess you would, do you know where to find one?" Miss Kitty asks. She notices Elastico's confusion at what she said, "I thought I told you, before the war I worked for one of the Animal Villains, it isn't something I am proud of."

Elastico couldn't believed what she heard, Miss Kitty was with those horrible Villains. Since when, why did she come to the Heroes? Despite what he had just heard, Elastico did feel trust for her, and had to focus at the task at hand. The experiment put his hand on his chin as he thought. "Now where could we get a map?" It then hit him like a stack of bricks. "That's it! The one of the General's tents!"

He then looked at the rodent with a grin of confidence. "General camp." he stated.

"Do you know where one of the general's tents is?" Miss Kitty asked. She starts to get an uneasy feeling from Elastico now. Miss Kitty looks down and asks, "You don't trust me anymore, do you?" It wouldn't surprise her if Elastico didn't trust her anymore. "How could I let it slip that I know an Animal Villain, I can't help the Heroes if they think I'm going to back stab them," Miss Kitty thought to herself.

Elastico shook his head. "No, I trust you." he said, forcing a warm smile onto his face. In reality, Elastico didn't know if she could trust her, What if she was a spy, she could be feeding the Villains valuable information. Elastico then looked around for one of the general's tents, wait a minute was that one, the experiment noticed a nearby tent, he had seen one of the generals exit that tent a few times before, it was probably his. Elastico then looked at Miss Kitty Mouse. "There." he pointed to the tent.
