Tails blinked in confusion as he answered the door. He was fairly certain that the person at his door was Wave the Swallow, but she was wearing a trenchcoat and sunglasses, and was looking nervously from side to side, as if she would be caught at any moment. On top of that, there seemed to be some sort of massive bulge on her chest, as if she'd put a pillow under her shirt.
"Uh... Can I help you?"
Wave seemed to take that as an invitation (it wasn't,) pushing inside and walking directly towards Tails' lab. Tails trailed behind, seeing her drop some sort of bird-carving onto his worktable.
"You know what this is?" She asked stiffly.
"Um... No...?"
"Tch. Figures." She muttered, moving to look over Tails' equipment, investigating. "Don't know why I came here, not like any of this junk could help me."
Tails frowned, putting himself between Wave and the machine she was about to touch.
"What do you want?" He demanded more than asked. He could see past her shades to confirm, but it seemed like Wave had rolled her eyes.
"You have a scanner right? Calibrated for stuff like chaos energy?"
"Yeah?"
"Show me."
"I'm sure you have one too. Or you could build one." Tails pushed back, "Whatever I have would only be 'good for a laugh.'"
Wave stopped, blinking.
"Since when could you sass?"
"It's been a long time since we first raced. I'm an adult now!"
"And you're still bothered by what I said back then? Wow."
Tails frowned, stepped behind Wave, and began pushing her towards the exit. Wave scrambled to stop him.
"Wait! Wait! I'm sorry, okay?"
Tails stopped pushing. Wave waited for more, and sighed to herself.
"Ugh, you're not going to make this easy, are you?"
"Nope!"
"Fine."
She stepped forward and turned around to face the fox, removing her shades.
"I'm sorry. Your Extreme Gear was great, and I wouldn't have come here if I didn't think you know what you're doing." She tilted her head. "Happy?"
"Yup!" Tails smiled, "What do you need?"
Wave walked back to the table, holding up the artifact.
"I found this artifact, and it has some... Weird effects. I know you've dealt with ancient weirdness before, and you seem to know your babylonian history fine, so I came here for help."
Tails resisted the urge to point out that she had "asked" him by forcing herself into his lab and insulting his work, and instead cut to the chase. "What kind of effects?"
"Effects." Wave said, crossing her arms, "Weird ones."
"Wave," Tails sighed, "I can't help you if I don't know what the problem is. Besides, if you want me to look into it, then I'm going to find out eventually."
Wave hesitated, grimacing at the thought. Finally, she fixed Tails with a hard glare.
"Listen, this doesn't leave this lab, okay? You can't tell anyone. If you tell anyone I will kill you."
"I won't tell anyone." Tails said
"Not even Sonic."
"Not even-" Tails stopped himself, hesitating.
"Oh come on!" Wave threw her hands up in exasperation, "You're still stuck to that guy?"
"He's my best friend!"
"Yeah, and Jet's mine. I don't tell him shit."
"Well, I think you and I have different standards of friendship."
"Hey. No." Wave snapped, expression turning hard, "I might not wait on him hand and foot, but I've got his back, and I know he has mine."
"I don't wait on Sonic!"
"Pshh, yeah you do." Wave scoffed, "You'll drop anything to sniff his farts."
"I don't- You-" Tails stammered, flabbergasted.
"I don't get it? Yeah. And you don't get me." Wave concluded, "So don't act like you do. And grow a damn spine while you're at it, yeah?"
"Alright, I get it." Tails relented, relaxing back in his chair, "I won't tell Sonic."
"Good." Wave nodded as she begun removing her trenchcoat. Tails leaned in a bit, curious... And then nearly fell out of his chair when he saw what she'd been hiding.
"Holy-!"
"I know."
"Wave, what on Mobius-"
"You can say 'fuck,' I don't care."
"What the fuck!!!"
"Holy shit never say 'fuck' again, actually." Wave laughed, "It sounds so weird coming out of you."
"Wave!!!"
"I know, I know, and I don't know." Wave said, looking at her own massive breasts, "But it's weird as hell, and Jet will never let me forget it if he finds out. So I need to know what happened and if I'm under some ancient curse or something."
"Okay. Okay. Okay." Tails said, pinching the bridge of his nose, "Umm... Okay. What do you know about the artifact?"
"It's called the Totem of... Something or other." Wave started, "According to some old manuscripts it's supposed to have some great power or something? Jet's Babylonian is better than mine."
Tails' brow grew more furrowed. "So you didn't even entirely know what it was, and you decided to seek it out?"
"I thought the site would have more information on it!"
"Did it?"
"I..." Wave trailed off. "I don't know. I got distracted."
"You got distracted!? By what???"
Wave gestured broadly to her tits.
"Right. Okay." Tails got up, walking up to the table, "So the first thing we should do is run it through the scanner and see what it picks up."
"Sounds good."
Tails reached for the artifact and...
