So, the Weasel Queen interlude is over. Is this Storm King opera another one?

Plot withdrawl has induced me to commit fanfic/art.
Imagine, if you will, our beloved characters hearing the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

That's a good one. Here's another. http://archiveofourown.org/works/3168293/chapters/6879506
Mmm not a bad thought on the fan art creation, but perish the thought for now at least for me... got stuff in the fritz that needs to be worked upon. Besides It is not like the mint hedgehogs and Gil can be made into a product....
Well here goes nothingShrug. One way or another, she's gonna end up riding the Beast out of there. Maybe whatever it wants is in Paris, too.
The Mansion of EThe train is too strong a card to be casually discarded.
Girl Genius now has a hard-coded deadline. In two years a temporal guardian will reach Mechanicsburg. Klaus is the main attraction but it is not hard to imagine it taking an interest in The Other as well.
Agatha needs the mobility and speed, the presence and authority the train has to offer. It is way of saying that the young-Heterodyne-in-exile is still a force to be reckoned with.
With the Jager mostly pinned down in Mechanicsburg, it wouldn't hurt to have Konig's bears around to back that up.
I can't wait to hear Agatha ask Krosp why he skipped around the part about being the secret master of an army of his own.
Konig, of course, will have questions of his own....
I think we have the Law of Narrative Causality starring us in the face. Westlake's take on the future of the Heterodyne-in-exile strikes me as almost inevitable. I really want to see Agatha leaning out the cab window, her blond hair streaming in the frosty winter air, with a mad gleam in her eye and heavily armed bears bristling from the passenger cars.
If it moves, eat it. If it doesn't move, kick it—then eat it!![]()
I've been working from the assumption that Krosp doesn't even know about the bears. The most obvious explanation is that his creator waited too long to tell him, and then got brain-cored or whatever by Klaus.
I've also been assuming Krosp was in for a surprise — if he knew he was the master of the bears, he might have said something to them.
Westlake — That's a compelling line of reasoning. I had considered the bears as substitute Jaegers, but not Agatha's power base or the possibility the interdimensional beasties would be interested in the Other.
Bear — Are you hearing Born To Be Wild in this scenario, or is it just me...?
Agatha is being quite intelligent on the uptake, she knows that the Heterodyne beasts aren't used to being ordered and a small dose of diplomacy can go a long way but then again Chewy might not have a big opinion since it might have been working only with "one of the fun ones" that was her grandpa and the Heterodyne Boys didn't take Chewy for many joyrides so it might be a bit sore on that area.
Besides can you picture Bill picking Lucrezia for a ride inside Chewy?
Well here goes nothing
