Rivet X Ratchet Novels & Stories

I have just set the plates on the table when Ratchet comes in. While we eat we chat about what we need to do today. He is starting his day with a ride on his bike. He is usually gone for about an hour. Then he is going to go over Frank with a fine-tooth comb. That will take him most of the day. I won’t see him unless I go looking for him. But this is our usual. Another part of our routine is we like to be left alone. We don’t go visit people or have them come over. It helps keep our heads clear to prepare for the next day. After breakfast, I clear the table with Ratchet's help. He heads out and I go out to our trailer. I sit at our desk and pull up my trials. I pull up all the photos we have

I grabbed it from him, dangling to the top of the massive engine, getting covered in exhaust and soot as I bore down on the valve. I thrust the bag toward Javier. "Grab a socket wrench and close the valves on that side!" I ordered. Javier pulled out the wrong wrench. "No! Javi! The socket wrench. SOCKET WRENCH!" I shouted. Fuck, we were going to explode. "This?" he called back. Again. The wrong fucking wrench. "You've got a rover right?" I asked, twisting closed another valve with an exhausted huff. "Yeah." "Looks like a ratchet! Use the ¾ attachment!"

Zach reprimanded them both, and they both fell silent. "This will help us now," said Raven, referring to the black box she was holding. He opened it and we saw that it was a ring. It was six silver rings, to be exact. The design is full of rings with glued diamonds of various colors. The design of the rings is just the same. It's cute! "Here. Those rings will light up when I press the violet diamond. I will press it once I feel something strange, " said Raven. "Don't tell me you invented it too?" Brent asked

> ITEM: High-Tensile Micro-Screwdriver (System Grade). > EFFECT: Bypasses standard mechanical fasteners with ease. > COST: 13 PP. A determined smile crossed her face. *Purchase.* She said to herself. A soft chime sounded. The sleek tool appeared in her hand. Ronan’s eyes widened in shock. “How did you—” “Don’t ask,” Ara grinned, gripping the handle. “The bars are solid, but the frame is held by rivets. If I remove the plate, the whole unit comes out.”

Gripping the titanium wrench tightly, he wedged the flattened handle into the microscopic gap between the panel and the bulkhead. He planted his boots against the adjacent wall for leverage and pulled backward with everything he had. The metal groaned under the strain, but the heavy-duty latches held firm against his initial effort. His lungs burned, screaming for oxygen, but he refused to release his grip on the wrench. He adjusted his stance, channeling every ounce of his remaining adrenaline, and violently wrenched the tool sideways. With a sharp crack, the latches sheared off, and the heavy plate tumbled away into the dark water.

We need to get me out of these chains, and then we need to get out of here without being seen. Ryder nodded, pulling out a set of lockpicks from his pocket. "I've got the chains, Zevran. But we need to move fast." Jax started working on the chains, his hands moving quickly and deftly. I watched as the lock clicked open, and I pulled my wrists free.

River Crap! Crap! Crap! Zach was glaring at me angrily. My blood began to boil, “Stop! I was here last night.” I knew what he was going to ask, his judgy eyes giving it away. “Then why did he ask if your name was Raven? Raven is your bike’s name, Riv’s. How could he possibly know that?” He said, his jaw clenching roughly. Ugh! It’s true though, on the side of my bike and helmet, I have ‘Raven’ spelled out. I composed myself and tried giving him a stern look with a tone that matched.

Rick called from across the parking lot as we climbed off our bikes. “Just ignore him,” Slade said as he glanced at Rick. “He smells different,” one of Rick’s friends said but I still heard him. I turned and walked towards their group as Slade leaned against his bike and Leon watched us. “Leon’s part of our pack now, so I suggest you back off and leave him alone,” I said. “You took in a lone wolf?” Rick asked me. “Your father must be desperate for members.” ‘Just bite his head off,’ Blaise said in my head and stood up.

Kitty offers. “I like the idea of making it stand up, the rest, make it fan out, sort of,” Raven answers while looking back at Kitty who nods with a smile. “Oh, how am I supposed to take care of the twins with this on? I know they’re going to need to nurse soon,” Raven makes a good point, so I look to Eya who smiles. “Ask for help, I just have to unbuckle one side and the shoulder and it’s easy to slip off,” Eya points to the different gold buckles making Raven nod.
