The other side

It was always colorful in the mornings and evenings. The top parts of the windows were of cut glass and of many colors. It was always when the sun hit it just right that would cascade the bar into brilliant reds, greens, and blues. Sweeping the floor during these times caused shadows to dance around as dust particles fluctuated through the air going toward there new homes.

The sound of the bristles hitting the grains, and sliding across was something Dareth liked to hear. It meant his bar was clean, and that was what he was designed for. To keep this bar clean and up to code.

He placed the broom back into the closet. He looked around the room to make sure there wasn't anything that still needed to be done.

His pump skipped a beat as he saw a shadow out of the corner of his eye. His eyes narrowed as he searched the bar again. He wasn't much for fighting. Actually he hated it.

"Its just me Dareth." A familiar voice said from the bar. Zane sat in a chair his head in his hands.

"Oh Zane, how ya doin?" Dareth asked.

"Its getting hot outside. Summers right around the corner. Dareth pushed some iced water with lemon over to Zane. He thanked him as he took a swallow of the cool liquid. Luckily for him day had only just begun. He looked around at the bright lights flooding the bar.

"You're so lucky Dareth. All of this looks...brilliant. All those colors. All I get to see are wood walls." He said looking around the room again sipping from the straw.

"You ready though? Your appointment isn't far off." He said. It was going to be an uneventful day. Sundays were always that way. Most businesses close on days like that. Which means Dr. Danny Pierces day was going to be full.

"Yeah lets get going. Don't wanna let DP stay lonely for to long, I mean on her own for to long...I mean…" He sighed. Zane smiled at him patting his head.

"Yeah I know what you meant. Come on." He placed his cup back down on the bar.

"Yes sir…" He said following Zane out into his vehicle.

Danny heard his voice before seeing his face. Cryptor walked by in a scrub. He scowled up at her. They were the same size although he slumped, he was growing pretty fast. She calculated that he'd be pretty tall in the end, but right now he was a teenager and worked as her receptionist part time to get some extra cash. How hard could answering the phone, and making appointments be? Hard...apparently.

"Dingbats here to see you."

"Dingba…" Danny growled as he walked back into the window room where he sat back down heavily and pick up the ringing phone.

"What!" He yelled. He looked at the phone like it breathed fire at him before slamming the phone down and grumbled.

"You're late." Danny sang to Dareth as he stood there bashfully.

"Yeah sorry...its hard getting to the 42nd floor when Minny is manning the controls. He pushed all the buttons in a row before jumping out leaving me there to go up the elevator stopping on every floor on the way up." He said looking around at Zane. Zane grumbled nodding his head.

"Dr. Borg definitely has his hands full." He said to his sister. Her cream colored skin matched his, but there hair color differed. Probably because there fathers were different. There mother was Dr. Spencer who worked in a lab at the University of Robotics. It was there that Danny got her degree.

Danny opened the door allowing Dareth in. She watched him as he ran past her a few feet before waiting for her as she closed the door leaving Zane to wait.

"Anything I should know about? Any trouble with your joints?"

"Oh n...nothing to report Doc. I'm just as fit as you are." He realized what he said a little too late. His cheeks turned a silver color. "Sorry." He said. Danny laughed nodding her head.

"It's fine Dareth. It's not like you meant it. I'm fat." She laughed. Dareth gasped.

"You are not!" He exclaimed a bit louder then he meant to. She smiled at him patting the table. Her turn to blush. "Alright open up." Normally that meant to open your mouth. Not on a droid. Dareth unbuttoned his white shirt and opened his chest plate. Danny looked around inside shining a small pen back and forth.

"Seems that you've got a shorting out clamp. Better fix that or you'll have the hiccups until you can get to me." She said plucking the small gold socket and plugged in a new one a moment later.

"Alright swallow." She said watching the clamp work perfectly. "Alls good now." She said and pushed his chest plate closed again running her fingers over his sides counting. To the untrained eye you'd think she was counting bolts or something to the like. Actually she was counting seals. If those seals were broken that meant he had been tampered with. That wasn't desired at all. Well...until today. She plucked his stomach piece off which broke the seals. Within was a large green swirling vortex of a soupy looking thingy. Thingy? You ask? No one knew what it was made of. Just that it was designed to power Dareths weapons. If...he had to use them. Luckily he never had except in practice runs. To Dareth using these weapons meant he had to kill someone and he had never seen anyone need to be shot before. It was scary to think they had been given to him to protect the bar. Luckily a bit of brute force was all he needed to stop people from fighting.

Danny placed the piece on the floor and pulled a brand new one out of a box. Packing peanuts fell to the floor. "Everything checks out on this part Dareth. But we still gotta check the guns." She said holding out her hands. The blush on Dareths face was obvious. Danny took his hand and ran her fingers over his palm. He could feel how warm her fingers were as they slid over his palm and along his wrist.

"Can you pop them out for me?" She asked. Dareth nodded his head and watched as the guns popped out of there hiding spots. Mostly looking like old sawed off shotguns. They were plucked off his wrist and examined this too broke an inner seal.

"Danny I've noticed my seals changed?"

"Yes sorry. Borg has a new material that's a bit harder to break on accident." She said holding up a seal. It was a blue color instead of the stark sunset orange it had been. "Just doing what's right for the environment." She said looking up at him. His smile formed before he could control himself.

"Wow…" He whispered. Yet his eyes weren't looking at her anymore. They were looking at the city. Black smoke plumed over the rooftops into the sky. "Whats going on?" Danny whispered tapping her com unit on her wrist. "Zane?" She jumped looking around at him as he ran inside.

"What's wrong? Is Dareth alr…" He saw the smoke and the burning buildings. He turned to run back toward the door running right into Dareth. The bright flash caught Danny off guard. She saw not Dareth, and not Zane on the floor, but someone brand new.

"What...is going on…?"
