Summary
After the race, abandoned by Rusty, Hydra helps Lumber and Porter untangle Greaseball, Electra and Slick. He has no idea he's about to get closer to the Electric engine than he ever thought possible, and no idea of what he's letting himself in for. Electra's trying to keep their polycule together as Hydra's addition rocks the boat, Rusty's slowly realising he has a huge crush on his racing partner, and Slick and Greaseball just want to make amends after that disastrous final.
--
There’s a moment of gentle silence, broken only by the birds chirping in the twilight sun, and Hydra knows he needs to let them go in. He can’t keep them outside forever, much as he might wish to.
Before he knows what’s happening, there’s a kiss being pressed into his cheek, a squeeze of his shoulder and -
‘Visit me? While I recover?’
‘So dramatic... even when you’re flirting.’ Hydra dares to tease. ‘You’ll be fixed up in no time and you know it.’
‘But think of my ego after that defeat...’ and if the kiss hadn’t already firmly sealed the deal, Electra’s puppy-eyes nail Hydra firmly around their little finger.
‘Not sure that can be mended... but keep kissing up to me, and I'll see what I can do.’
