245 On the Road Again

When Max woke up he was curled around a cool metallic shell. It was time to get up, no matter how comfortable he was. Looking at her happy sleeping face, it was obvious that Nico was content to stay in bed and Max contemplated just leaving her there, but that wasn't going to be feasible today.

Sister Lilith would need the Mecha's data from his tests and Max wasn't going to analyze it all himself when Nico had a System Function that would let her do it in an instant. 

So, once he was up and dressed Max picked her up and used Nico's metallic body as a barbell to do curls. 

"If anyone else could see you, they would think you are into some weird stuff," Nico told him, but made no attempt to move, hoping he would put her back in bed. 

"And you think differently?" Max asked, lifting her higher to blow a raspberry on her stomach.
