Blueberry Blues: Melissa Danvers

Desire had to have help being driven around. Most cars weren't built with her body in mind, in fact, she had to take an Uber to her sister's circus. That was an awkward drive for both driver and passenger. Thankfully this time she had her nieces Peggy and Charlie to be her driver. Well Peggy drove, Charlie just sat in the backseat for emotional support.

"Where to next, aunt?" Peggy said.

"Turn right then another right at the light here. Then we're here." Desire answered. The three stopped right at the edge of a fair sized building. It was about five stories tall but compared to the other buildings surrounding it, it may as well have been a house. However what made it unique were the stylized symbols across the building's front. It was like a comic book building. The woman's nieces craned their neck upwards but Desire snapped her fingers.

"Give me a moment to get my shawl and follow me." The aunt said. The others nodded before they followed their aunt out the car and across the street. Instead of going through the front door where tons of people were located, the trio went around back where trucks were going to and from it. Without missing a beat, Desire flipped open her shawl and kindly bent them towards the pair of guardsmen.

"Frank, Paul. Nice to see you two again; have you met the girls."

"We're seeing them right now." Paul, a brunette man nearly six feet tall, cheekily replied.

"I meant my nieces, meet Peggy and Charlie."

"Charmed." Peggy replied.

"You're going to meet Miss Danvers, correct?"

"Correct. Give her a call for me." The two guards did so leaving Desire to look at her nieces. Who, after this little stunt, seemed stunned by their aunt's action. "What? It makes those two chuckleheads a bit more receptive of me."

"Will you need to do that again? If you do, don't do that near Charlie and me, Auntie." Peggy looked at her beloved aunt a little different now.

"Don't worry these folks know me."

"You can come in, Des." Frank spoke up.

"Dez you silly man." Desire poked his chest. The trio followed Paul who guided them through a labyrinth of corridors until finally they ended up in a spacious cavern. Two metal doors blocked their views, each one was nearly twenty feet tall.

"Wait, are we underground now?" Charlie questioned.

"I think we are, you remembered that slope behind us? I think that's when we went down." Peggy replied. Desire and Paul ignored their conversation, the guardsman spoke into his walkie-talkie.

"Miss Danvers, your guest is here."

"Give....erm....me...another...five minutes~ oooohhhh..." The voice sounded stressed and in pleasure at the same time. The two young girls at the back seemed weirded out from that response.

"Is she in an experiment, Auntie?" Peggy stepped to Desire. "Is this her lab?"

"Oh no this is her office. She has a little problem." Desire joked. Five minutes later the doors, literally five minutes later down to the last second, the doors opened. There was a hiss of air, and instead of a deafening creak, the doors were eerily silent. Inside was just as Desire said, an office. More sterile due to the fact this seemed like a repurposed chamber for a laboratory, but it was still the same. A single desk, lamps, and other accouterments. A lone woman sat at the desk reading a book, right before she looked up at the incoming folks.

"Desire." The woman was in her early twenties, dressed oddly in a skintight suit, and had her hair in a nice bun.

"Susan, nice to meet you. Meet my nieces. Peggy, Charlie; Susan. Susan; Peggy, Charlie."

"Hello, you're the person our Auntie is here for?"

"No, that'd be me." A voice said from the side. The girls turned their heads and witnessed a scene they've only seen once before. A round woman, dressed in (of all things) a tight business suit, came waddling out of a side corridor. Only Barbara did this before, and this was when she was smaller. In fact, this woman was just about the same size as their dear sister before she suffered her second expansion. Unlike their sister though, this woman was a nearly complete sphere, besides her head, wrists, and feet poking from her body. Her face was different too, it was angular, sharp, intelligent, it didn't fit with how soft her body looked. It was like the most serious woman you could've ever met being put into clown makeup, it was silly.

"Desire."

"Dez-I-ray, not Des-ire." Desire replied. "Peggy, Charlie meet Miss Melissa Danvers. We go a long way back, I knew her before she became Miss Golden Globe. "

"And I knew your aunt before she decided to switch from P.I to Pornstar. Thankfully I could laugh at her accident before my own little fumble."

"And thankfully I can still show my face in public." Desire snarked.

"Are you sure people are looking at your face, Des-Ire?" Melissa snarked back.

"You never told us you knew a blue...." Peggy was trying to be nice and get the conversation moving. She also made sure not to say 'blueberry' it made women, or at least the only woman she knew that had this condition, feel weird.

"Yes, Melissa's over here is very vain. She doesn't like others outside of the corporation knowing she looks like this." Melissa glared at Desire.

"If I knew you'd be having guests I'd have told Susan to meet you instead. In fact Sue, be a dear and grab water for our guests."

"Certainly Miss Danvers." Susan got up and begun handing the group bottles of water.

"Now what can I help you with?"

"Tell me right now if you took my third niece." Desire said, stoic as she could possibly be. Melissa raised an eyebrow.

"Third niece."

The busty Romani dug into her pocket and took out her phone. She showed the clip to Melissa, who's eyes widened in shock.

"When your niece said 'you knew another blue' she meant."

"Blueberry, right."

"Why does she have those small spheres on her?"

"Those are her breasts, Melissa. Things that disappeared from you after you decided to that being a fruit was going to be cool."

"I didn't!" Melissa was about to scream. There was a gurgle and the girls saw Melissa's body got a little bigger. "Deep breaths, deep breaths. Wooh, now then let me say it right here, we didn't take your niece. You'd think if there was a rumor about another one of...me, that I wouldn't be occupied by it? That I wouldn't be in the labs right now studying her? That I wouldn't have called you when it turned out she was related to you?"

Melissa looked the others up and down. "Aren't your nieces part of the circus near the city?"

"Correct."

"Another turd on the shit pile if we were the ones to take her."

"Who else could've taken her then? I doubt its a coincidence that she'd disappear near the city where the only other blueberry I know would be located."

"I tell you right now, Desire." Melissa pronounced her name the right way this time. "I didn't take your niece, nor did anyone in my department, which has a vested interest in this, took her."

Desire walked up to the spherical woman and gazed deep into the blue eyes. Her lip quivered and the Romani woman relented.

"Let's go girls, she's telling the truth."

"What but you just said."

"I've known her for years, she's being legit." Desire clenched her hand. "We need to find another avenue, we're heading back to the circus, then I'm heading out of state. I have a contact up north who can help but I need to leave now while Barbara's trail is still hot."

Just before followed Frank out of the building, Melissa called out one last time.

"Your sister! The blueberry, how did she get that way?" Melissa questioned. Charlie, of all girls, was the one who answered. She politely stepped towards the blueberry woman so she could speak.

"Accident, blueberry seltzer water from a company in Georgia. Don't know why it made her that way." Charlie looked down. "Can I ask how did you get that way?"

"Lab accident. You will not believe have volatile our chemicals can get." Melissa motioned for Charlie to get closer, the young woman did. "If, when your sister is found, can I talk with her? Please."

"Sure." Charlie replied before she stepped away to follow her family leaving the Susan and her boss alone.
