To say that Nico was confused when Max led her to the hangar where their morphable ship was waiting was an understatement. Both of their Mecha were still in it, but it wasn't her birthday, so she was pretty sure that he wasn't just randomly bringing her to kill stuff.
It was possible, but it seemed unlikely since he had told her that they needed to dress up for the event.
Once they were clear of Absolution, Max set a course for a clear spot so he could open a Portal, and Nico started to get really curious about what exactly he had in mind. They were supposed to be back for the light show tonight, so whatever it was, it shouldn't take long, but she was stumped as to what he had in mind.
"You'll understand in a second." Max laughed as Nico's mind raced through the myriad possibilities, right up to and including the chance that they might have decided to wipe out a random planet just for giggles.
