Guns
They shopped until twelve in the afternoon and returned home by one. The car was pack with clothes and accessories. She chose several bags worth of clothes for him and also picked out a watch. It wasn't a bad watch either. She picked out a Rolex Explorer 1016 finding that it would look quite good on John if he put it on. She froze when she heard that it was about fifteen thousand dollars.
She tried to put it back but John picked it up and paid for it. She stared at John angrily thinking that he was wasting money.
He laughed and thought it was cute.
"Why did you pay for it?" She asked as he was driving
"Since you think it looks nice then why not?" He answered
She opened her mouth but didn't speak
"Relax, I can always make more when I have time" he chuckled "Besides, wasn't it fun?"
"I'm never going shopping with you again" She shook her head in denial
"Fine, we won't go shopping." John smiled "We're going home now aren't we?"
She didn't speak
"Mad?" he asked
She nodded
"It's just money Viviane if you want I can go set up a company right now and sell some of my stuff" He smiled as he put his free hand on her lap.
"Stuff?" she looked at him questionably
"We can go down to the basement" he nodded "I have some stuff there"
He looked at him suspiciously while wild thoughts started to pop into her head
"I wouldn't do anything to you during this time period," He said as if he could read her mind
She became red and looked away out of embarrassment
"You have quite the naughty thoughts up there" he chuckled
She couldn't wait to find a hole to hide in. She didn't even have the courage to look at him.
"Relax" he patted her thighs
She nodded but didn't look at him again.
John felt it was quite cute and didn't bother her until they returned home. He looked over and saw that she had fallen asleep. He drove the car into the garage and carried her inside. He started to unpack the clothes after laying her down on his bed. He used his telekinesis powers to lift the clothes and washed them in the washing machine.
There were still a lot of bags of clothing left and so he left them in the room and had his robots do the washing and waiting for him. In fact, he also knows that he spent quite a lot of money today but he just wanted to spend more time with her as a couple. He reheated the breakfast from the morning and walked downstairs into the basement. He also purposely left the hidden door open for her.
"Jarvis, is the range ready?"
[It is, sir]
"Good, tell me when she is awake. Also, do not stop her, if she manages to come down here"
He took out a pistol similar to the H&K P30L that John Wick used. He had spent some time applying for a firearm license. The gun only has the frame of its original model while the inside was completely taken apart and remade. The ammunition was also changed into a special round he developed during his free time.
The first model he created was that the barrel was made to withstand extreme heat after being created with a special material alloy he created. It was made to hold a magazine that fires blaster rounds instead of actual rounds. He spent some time looking and studying weapons like the blasters from Star Wars and Phasers from Star Trek. He took the time to develop plasma energy and fused it the power from an Arc Reactor. It caused the power to be strengthened and with the unique barrel made for the gun, it became incredibly powerful but the recoil was also a bit too much. One shot was enough to knock the gun out of his hands. The gun would also be warped from the intensity of the heat. In the end, it had to be set to the side as the materials were not enough to completely be resistant towards the energy.
Instead, he used a new alloy composed of steel, iron, and mercury along with other substances to create a casing for the plasma. It would glow but also completely remove the radiation emitting from it. The rounds are also nearly weightless due to the particular effect from plasma not to mention that it was smaller too. The recoil was nonexistent, this also added to the fact that one regular-sized magazine could hold 30 rounds.
It was still a prototype that needed to be tested.
"Jarvis write these down"
[I'm ready, sir]
Ding
"Effective range: 1000 meters"
Ding
"There's an Overheating problem"
Ding
"About 100 rounds could be fired nonstop without the barrel overheating"
He continued to list out all the specs of the gun after some tests. In some area's it excelled over what other pistols couldn't do, while it needed some modifications and further testing in others.
Normally, the targets would have been penetrated by the bullets but Jarvis swapped them out with prototype adamantium plates. It was still in the works as it was too expensive to mass-produce and too big to be carried around. He also threw them all for Jarvis to test and create as he practiced his lightness skill.
[Sir, she has been awakened and is coming down as we currently speak]
He didn't say anything as he was busy practicing his firearm skills. He also wanted Viviane to see as to not scare her later on in their relationship.
"John?" Viviane asked hesitantly.
He stopped and turned to her "What is it?" he asked gently
"Nothing," she said as she looked at the gun in his hand
Seeing her fear of the gun, he beckoned her to come closer "Come here"
She hesitated but slowly and cautiously walked over.
He smiled and held her hands slowly. He brought her hands up to hold the gun. He already swapped it out for a regular version of the pistol.
"Relax just hold it out like this" He began to teach her how to properly shoot a gun. She got the hang of it quickly and he switched to rifles such as AR-15s, Ak-47s, M4s, and all sorts of other weapons. He still felt a little resistance towards the guns and he helplessly sighed as he knew that she simply didn't like it. It mattered little as she lost her fear of guns after firing them for so long.
"Hungry?" he asked as she put the gun down
"en" she nodded
"Let's go eat then" He smiled
It was still 3 and he went to heat up the food again. It didn't take that long and he had two nice and warm bowls of Congee in front of him.
