Switching teams

"Yeah, I think it's time to get you out of me," Five said while you pulled out a shirt and panties to dress her in from her wardrobe, which seemed to satisfy her.

You took a hand and caressed along Five's chest. "I'm gonna miss these, though, if you're ejecting me..."

Angel Five snorted. "It's not like you couldn't touch with your own hands! Or with Seven's hands. Or whatever happens. I mean, I'm open to it, and you don't even need nanites in my head to do it."

That sounded fair enough. You slipped on the attire, which Angel Five was merely temporary as she attempted to get her synthetic life form companion back. Once clothed, you returned to the living room area, seeing Angel Seven wiggling her hips clad in some orange lingerie and stockings, which in fact went very well with her hair. She turned, and grinned. "Hey Five! Or, Fives? Tex is really something, huh? Now, beach wear!"

In a flash, the fabric around Angel Seven swirled up, creating a white and orange backless one-piece swimsuit that hugged her frame really tightly. "I'm excited to have subjects that enjoy the clothing possibilities!" Tex exclaimed. "Usually, the Yabusa scientists are not interested in this kind of synthesis, even if I find it the most interesting. Recycling Yabusa components is dull work."

"Well, Tex, you can do that kind of stuff with me all you want," your body-mate said as you strolled closer to the couch. "But I think we need to get Rider Five out of me and then he can keep an eye on Seven for now."

Angel Seven nodded. "That plan sounds good." Of course it sounded good to her, since it sounded good to you. "Honestly, I'm just happy to go with the flow right now. I feel sort of like I should be panicking about everything like missing Riders and Tex and whatever's in my brain, but Tex said it's probably good that I've got a calming presence like part of Rider Five's mind helping me right now. I might end up feeling differently later, according to her, but for now I'm just glad things are stable. Or, I guess, Rider Five is glad, so I'm glad too, if that's how this works."

It was hard to know if Seven really grasped this or not, but Tex seemed to believe she was still mostly herself, other than these extra nanites functioning as the final gateway between her mind and the real world, so you had to assume those were still mostly her thoughts. Angel Seven walked over to you, running a finger along your back where the seam for the Y-shaped hatch existed, causing you to shiver at her touch! That was a surprise, but you couldn't let it distract from your plan.

"Okay, uh, opening now." The hatch doors spread wide, revealing your normal armored Rider self to Tex and Seven, or at least some of it. You were clearly wedged in pretty snugly, with no obvious handles to grip.

Tex flowed off of Seven's body partly, her swimwear shrinking into a bikini to accommodate as Seven stood there, unconcerned. "In some ways, it's quite a feat of engineering to make it so the Rider armor fit perfectly in the Angel frame, for what purpose I'm not entirely sure but it appears intentional. At the same time, it's quite a significant design flaw to provide no obvious means of exit, like those little fabric flaps that batteries sometimes have to pull them out more easily. But this is easily rectified." Tex touched your back panels, constructing grab handles into your back armor with her fabrication wizardry. Seven took the handles and pulled, aided by the deceptively strong Endo that Tex had built to put inside her, and you felt yourself easily sliding out of Angel Five's back! Once you were out far enough, you were able to get your hands out of Angel Five's body and brace yourself to pull your legs the rest of the way out too.

Standing up, you glanced down at your rider form. The sight wasn't nearly as fun as Angel Five's, but at least it was a relief that you weren't permanently stuck. You took off your helmet, looking over at a smiling Angel Seven, who leaned in to give you a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for letting me borrow some of your brain, I guess," she said quietly.

"So, uh, could somebody get me a spare Endo?" Angel Five said, her back still open and her body laying limply on the couch. "One in the garage, or something?"

Tex flowed entirely off of Seven, forming into the floating swimsuit again in front of Five's face. Seven still didn't react, at least not at first. You couldn't help but get a little excited at seeing her suddenly naked as Tex apparently had no concept of modesty, and that resulted in Seven reaching her hands up to lightly touch and caress her breasts again, biting her lip as she shared some of your excitement. She didn't bother to question why...

"Hey, uh, why don't you grab something from Angel Five's room to wear," you prompted Seven, who nodded agreeably and stepped away. You had to stop that before it snowballed, at least in front of your usual partner..!

"I have a proposal," Tex said to Angel Five, the floating swimwear swaying lightly in the air, simulated chest lightly bouncing. "It would be much more efficient for me to integrate with Angel Five's mechanical and biological systems while we are searching for the other nanites. Safer, too. I can provide both Endo functionality as well as biological augments that may be useful. I could go so far as to integrate entirely with the brain in order to share my knowledge in a more direct way, though I'm told this could lead to some unexpected side-effects."

"Side effects, what side effects? You've done it before though, right?"

"...Well..." Tex paused, shifting into just generic orange goop on the coffee table. "My predecessor and big-brother, Lucas, has done it frequently. In fact, he integrated into his best friend's girlfriend and the two ended up marrying. It's a pleasant story which I'll elaborate on later. However, there is the potential for changes and alterations in personality and where one being ends and the other begins, and the like. That's if I do it successfully, I know the procedure but have not tried it. While I would stop before any harm came to you, Angel Five, I cannot say for sure what the final result may be. My only guarantee is that I could enter and exit your body without causing you harm."

Angel Five went quiet, losing herself in thought, as Angel Seven returned in a bra and pajama pants. Seven wrapped her arm around your waist, showing this unusual increased affection that you wouldn't have expected from her if there wasn't this nanite cluster in her head that you apparently influenced. She seemed to feel the need to be close to you because... you felt close to you? You were getting lost on this nanite train of thought.

"Well, uh." Angel Five tilted her head a little to look at Tex more clearly. "Just go slowly. Start with the Endo so I can at least sit up, then if I get uncomfortable with whatever you're doing next I'll tell you to stop, yeah? I can't really tell how far I'd go yet."

Tex flowed from the table over to the couch. "A fair approach. Very well, I will enter your back to form the Endo, and then I shall inform you of the next steps afterward." Slipping inside the open hatch, Tex disappeared into Angel Five's body as the seams closed up. After just a moment, she was sitting up again, looking pretty normal!

Seven and yourself stepped over, sitting on either side of Angel Five, almost synchronized. "Don't do too much if you feel too weird," you said to Angel Five, who nodded as she adjusted her shirt.

"I'll be fine. I really want to close this case as soon as we can, though. If Tex can help better through this whole 'integration' thing, then... I don't know. We'll see."
