Benefits Of Bilocation
"Booster?" Beetle asked in a loud, slightly shrill voice. "Why is your glitchy evil robotic duplicate trying to molest me?"
"I don't know!" Booster replied tensely. He was tired and stressed from fighting the pseudo-Booster. (Ro-booster? Roboster? Where was someone good at naming things when you needed them?) Whatever his robotic duplicate was or should be called, Booster was tired and stressed from fighting it and was currently trying to figure out how to shoot it with his wrist blasters without hitting Beetle.
As Beetle had pointed out, Booster's double was trying to get into his tights and, in the process, making itself a difficult target to hit. It didn't seem aware, however, that it was using Beetle as a human shield.
"It's supposed to have a duplicate of your brain downloaded into it!" Beetle snapped, squirming in the robot's grip. "It can't be an information overload, so why is it making with the inappropriate touching?!"
"It's malfunctioning!" Booster snapped back.
"Oh good," Beetle said sarcastically. "For a minute there I was worried that you were harboring a secret desire to have your wicked way with me."
"He is," Booster-bot suddenly spoke up for the first time. Booster and Beetle were so surprised that they just stopped and stared at it for a moment. Up until that point they hadn't been aware it could talk.
Not-Booster took the opportunity to get a better grip on Beetle. Specifically, certain parts of Beetle's anatomy. Beetle yelped in surprise.
"Me too, only not so secret," Robo-Booster continued cheerfully. Peering over Beetle's shoulder at Booster, it leered. "But I'm willing to share."
Beetle went very still, then narrowed his eyes at Booster. "You narcissist," he accused.
Sighing, Booster decided to just go with it rather than protest. At least now he would finally be able to claim that he had thwarted evil with sex.
