"X?" Hub asked, blinking, and then realized why. ".I'm going to name him X," he said in a quiet voice. Zero looked a little pained, but didn't push him away, instead looking down at the little Navi's bright green eyes, which were so full of innocence, curiosity, and wonder. "What'd you name him?" he asked, snickering as the child grabbed a lock of Zero's hair and attempted to stuff it in his mouth. Given that he mostly looked like Hub, and that part of the conditions had been that the non-Hikari parent got to be a huge part of the child Navi's life, Hub had left it to Zero to name him and design the Navi emblem. The new Navi, who was mostly blue with silver and red trimming, had ended up looking like a mix of them both, though the robe design in the proposed adult form had been a little bit of a surprise to both Hub and Zero. While Zero had been surprised, he'd been amenable to the idea, and, dare Hub say it, excited? Soon enough, with the help of a few other SciLab scientists, the child Navi had been created. The red Navi rarely got involved in anything, though he had gotten involved when Nebula had taken over (he'd led Team Zero, though he and Lan hadn't seen them around too often) and during the Hub had asked Zero the next time they had gone to SciLab. Never once had he ever mentioned where he'd come from, other than saying something about Wily finding his data on the net. Zero always seemed amused whenever he saw a Z-Saber battlechip, or would look longingly at the remaining Copybots, and Hub was never sure why. It still bothered the Hikari twins that they weren't quite sure where exactly Zero had come from he seemed older than he should for a Navi, and seemed very happy to live a quiet life as the manager of the Virus Breeder despite how powerful he was. He'd remained in contact with Lan and Hub, and seemed very fond of the shorter Navi. Thanks to Lan's father helping remove Zero's viral state, the Navi had mellowed out quite a bit and had managed to adopt a more humanoid appearance - how, none of the Hikaris were sure. If I'm compatible with him, then I'm probably compatible with any Navi." It was Hub that looked thoughtful this time. "Lan!" The older Hikari twin put his hand on his face. "Anyways, you got any ideas as to who? Please don't say GutsMan, I'd rather not imagine that." ![]() "It's only weird to you because of how humans have children, and I can't do that, remember? Besides, what's wrong with us just being friends?" "Lan!" Hub resisted the urge to hit his head against the wall. ".Wouldn't that be a little weird? Having a kid with someone that isn't married to you?" She had always loved children, no matter whose they were. Knowing Roll, though, she would probably spoil the young Navi anyways. "Where you just want to see if my data is can interact in that manner with another Navi's, right? If the other Navi is willing to be a major part of the child's life, then we can just do that, right? Then you'd get your research, I'd get a kid, and Roll wouldn't have to worry so much about taking care of a kid." "You had that project going on, right?" Hub suggested. Adding a second child for Roll to handle would be a little too much for her. Which was true Patch had been born while Mayl had been early in her career, and now that Mayl was very close to getting it, she and Roll didn't have as much time for Patch (though of course she would once it was over). You know that Mayl is really close to finishing her doctorate, and she and Roll have been working really hard and really can't afford anymore distractions." "Roll doesn't think she's ready yet," Hub admitted. Of course, Lan and Mayl had had no such reservations, had gotten married, and had even had Patch. While Hub and Roll had been wanting to get married for ages, they had agreed to wait until Mayl finished her doctorate in music composition. "I'm sure that you and Roll have been wanting a child for awhile, once the two of you finally tie the knot." "Well, like Dad and I said, the offer is on the table," Lan told him with a shrug. "I want a child," Hub had said wistfully one day. ![]() ![]() Even Lan had noticed that Hub would pick up Patch whenever the two of them were around, and Patch loved his "Uncle Mega". He'd played with him whenever he was in Copybot form, and he loved his nephew immensely. They didn't want to make Hub a father against his will, after all, even if Lan was over the moon about being an uncle.īut Hub had seen Patch, his brother's baby. Of course, Hub being who he was, his father and brother had asked him for permission to perform something like that. It had purely been for science, to see if another Navi's data was compatible with Hub's. The first time that Hub had had a child, he wasn't married.
