"Thoughts"
Subject Jupiter: Awakening
Delta lay on the bathysphere's top, looking up at the clouds packed together in the sky. He could almost feel the outside air and could see the sun burning through the clouds. He felt himself slipping from his mortal coils as the searing pain in his body began to dull, slowly, but surely. Hearing a hissing and scrabbling noise, Delta looked over to see Eleanor Scrambling out of the cockpit door, her helmet abandoned as she hurried over to him. She knelt by his side looking as deep into his porthole as possible to see his face. She silently wept as she looked at her father, feeling him slip away from the world. Eleanor lifted her ADAM extractor and trembled as she brought it to one of Delta's IV ports, but just before she steadied it He pushed the needle away. Eleanor stood in shock at his action before crying more forcefully as she hugged Delta, with his physical effort shortening his time even more. Sofia watched everything take place from the cockpit door and finally cracked as Eleanor's dam burst and she showered Delta with her tears as she hugged him. Sofia still felt like she was drowning in the cockpit as she watched, but this time it was a flood of guilt and sorrow. As she watched she suddenly remembered something she had seen and ran into the cockpit. She looked around and finally found it, a green thick looking liquid in a hypo, ready for injection. As Sofia dashed back outside to Delta and Eleanor she thanked and apologized Sinclair, for he was responsible for the disappearance of her newest substance. Stopping and kneeling across from Eleanor Sofia hoped she wasn't too late as she quickly injected the green liquid into Delta's body, through his IV port.
"Mother, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" yelled Eleanor as she saw her mother carefully but quickly stab Delta with a hypo.
"Trying to save him," Sofia responded softly. Eleanor blinked as she looked at her mother. … is she worried about him?
Sofia watched as the hypo was slowly drained and hoped she was not too late. Neither of the Lambs moved, watching the metal armored giant of a man who stands at Death's door. Minutes passed and upon seeing no change Eleanor slowly turned to her mother a grief endowed fury seething in her eyes. Sofia turned to her daughter and watched as she slowly began to stand, shaking from barely-contained fury.
"YOU KILLED HIM!" Eleanor shouted as she lunged at her mother, who fell back in fear. Eleanor didn't make it though as Delta's arm suddenly moved and almost made her trip before she caught herself. Both of the Lambs looked at Delta's porthole which was once again lit with a dull yellow glow that brightened by the second as he lifted himself up slowly, luckily using an arm to brace which saved him as Eleanor lunged and hugged him instead of attacking Sofia. Delta's chest rumbled lightly as he used one arm to return Eleanor's hug. He was so happy to have her back, he felt better just by the one armed contact. In fact, every time he took a deep breath he seemed to feel a bit better. Curious Delta took a deep breath of Eleanor's scent, before gently pushing her off while standing up. His legs felt unsteady but he took another breath and felt them steady. When he stood fully he pushed Eleanor away a couple feet and felt his legs lose their steadfastness. Sofia watched and suddenly yanked Eleanor until she was a few meters away from Delta, who stood for 2 seconds then collapsed onto his hands and knees, suddenly very weak. Sofia doubled back and yanked Eleanor back to Delta, getting on her knees to inspect him.
"I think I see it," Sofia muttered.
"See what mother?" Eleanor demanded, a little irritated at the rough handling.
"Delta is recovering but his activity and physical state depend on your proximity," replied Sofia. "He's still recovering but I don't think you two can be further than 10 meters from each other at any given time until the bond is completely reestablished."
"So our bonds been partially reconnected and we have to stay close until its been fully reconstructed?" asked Eleanor.
"Yes, that's exactly it," replied Sofia. Delta sat cross-legged and watched the two, listening to their discussion. Sofia talks like it's a problem, he scoffs in his deep, gruff voice, what the fuck does she think I went through that underwater hell for, to get rid of my daughter? Delta watched as the two women agreed on their analysis before Eleanor smiled and jumped into Delta's lap, snuggling her back into his chest while claiming it was to assist in his recovery. Sofia just nodded and walked back towards the cockpit, hoping to get out of sight before the crushing quilt returns because her distraction is absent. Before getting very far however a medium sized boat appears heading towards the vessel they were all currently on. Delta watched the boat with mild interest and extreme caution, subconsciously wrapping his arm around Eleanor. As the boat neared it cut to the side to get close to the vessel without ramming it. A man appeared on the deck, calling out to them.
"Hey, are you guys the one Tenenbaum sent?" he yelled. Delta waved one arm in consent to the man, while Eleanor gasped in recognition.
"You're Jack Ryan!" She exclaimed. Sofia began walking back towards the armored duo as Jack stepped off his boat.
"Yep, that would be me. Since Tenenbaum sent you I'll trust ya but you keep your big guy under control got it?"
Delta growled at this comment but otherwise let it slide. The 3 eldest passengers gathered the little sisters and boarded Ryan's boat. They fastened a line to Sinclair's craft and towed it west, to New York. As they reached the docks they entered Ryan's personal dock, ensuring the secrecy and security of the bathysphere. After securing both sea vessels the group got into a minibus Jake had rented for this sole purpose and headed to Ryan's home. It was a nice home, three stories, blue paint and at least a half-mile from any neighbors. The house was situated near the edge of a small forest, in a large grassy meadow. The sides of the house had gardens with a variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs growing in them.
As everyone went inside Jack was swarmed for a second by 5 teenage girls around 16 and 17 years old like Eleanor. 2 of the girls were brown-haired and had green eyes. They were twins, named Marsha and Mirana. They were both 5' 5" and their clothes always matched in either combination or color scheme. The main difference was that Mirana wore her hair in a ponytail with 2 bangs framing her face, and Marsha always let her shoulder length hair run free in caramel cascades. The twins both wore a dark blue blouse and jeans. One of the other girls was Jessie, a blonde blue-eyed tomboy who stood at 5'7". Jessie's hair was cut to hang just below her ears, where she tucks it behind them. Jessie wore black basketball shorts and a loose red shirt. The last two girls were also blonde but one had light hazel eyes while the others were a golden yellow. The hazel-eyed one was named Haley, and she was 5' 6" with her hair braided into a ponytail that reached halfway down her back. She wore an earthen brown dress and had on gardener's gloves. The last blonde with the golden yellow eyes was Amanda, who wore a sunshine yellow dress with a white apron on top. She wore her hair in a ponytail that hung to her right side, sometimes over her shoulder and a small chef's hat.
After a discussion on new bedding arrangements, in which the girls and Sofia got most of the 2nd and 3rd floors, Delta and Jack watched Eleanor and jacks daughter's herd the tired former Little Sisters to bed. Sofia went into the kitchen to prepare some tea, with Jacks permission. Jack looked over towards Delta who sat on the floor seeing as how he weighed a lot more than what the couches were designed to hold, even with Delta removing his oxygen tank and storing his weapons in an unused closet, which was locked and he was given the key.
"So, Eleanor is your daughter?" Jack asked.
Delta responded with a sight bow to accentuate his nod.
"But the Big Daddies I've seen weren't so strongly bonded," replied Jack.
"Ryan made a change with production after the Alpha series prototypes. Delta has a physiological bond, stronger than the pheromone bond between Big Daddies and Little Sisters, with his Little Sister Eleanor," Sofia said, as she walked out of the kitchen with a cup of tea for herself and Jack. The adults changed their conversation topic to finding the families of the Little Sisters, which was rapidly finished by the files Sofia had on their abduction. As they looked through her files Eleanor came down the stairs and walked over to them in a plain white dress, swishing it to and fro while Haley followed behind her. Delta saw her and his chest rumbled a she hugged Eleanor with his large arms, tightly but tenderly.
"You look nice," Sofia said with a small smile.
"Thank you Mother," Eleanor said with a slight tinge of pride to her voice. The phone rang and everyone looked at it while Jack moved over to answer.
"Hello?" he questioned cautiously.
"Herr Jack, it's me und I need your help" said a heavily accented German voice.
"Tenenbaum, what is it?" he asked, slightly worried.
"Splicers are more active than ever down here in Rapture und I need your help. It's hard enough fixing the bathysphere I found but I' also found out there were reserve Big Sisters and they have a few charges. I don't plan on showing myself until the bathysphere is fixed but I will be done in a few days und then I will try to sneak away with the Little Sisters. I hope to reach you in a few weeks," answered Tenenbaum.
Delta grunted loudly towards the phone then turned towards Eleanor who quickly went to the phone and took it from Jack's hands.
"Where are you Ms. Tenenbaum?" she asked.
"Fraullein Eleanor, is herr Delta there with you?" asked Tenenbaum, slightly surprised.
"Yes, although Father can't go more than 30 feet from me before he starts to weaken since our bond is partially fixed," responded Eleanor.
"That is something I can fix if you pick me up after I get these girls. You'll have to wait for a while though,"
"What but you can't do this, they'll be protecting those little sisters more than anyone ever has. If you get one the Big sisters will be after you and the Splicers will help!" Eleanor exclaimed.
"Well I would like some help but you have no way down here so I will do it myself. I must go I've been on for too long anyway. Goodbye fraullein Eleanor, herr Delta, herr Jack" With that, Tenenbaum hung up the phone, leaving Eleanor with a dial tone on her end.
"We do have a way down there." Sofia said quietly. Eleanor looked at her mother seeing regret and concern in her stern gaze. As she opened her mouth everyone's heads snapped around to Delta whose loud footsteps sounded as he went over to hi weapons closet and opened it, re-equipping his weapons and equipment, including eve hypos, first aid its, and ammo.
"Father what are you doing?" asked Eleanor, apprehensive of the answer. She heard a faint gruff baritone voice say in her mind I owe her. Immediately she understood and darted upstairs for her own armor and equipment. Sofia saw the two and decided to prepare herself as well. She turned to Jack when she heard a click, and saw a loaded surface pistol in his open hand, along with a few magazines of ammunition.
"Just for emergencies ok, let those two do most of the fighting. I'll handle the girls you guys have saved. Your files will make it easier to find their families so good luck helping Tenenbaum," said Jack.
"Thank you," replied Sofia, softly.
"This is part of your repentance right?" asked Jack.
"Yes, of course."
"That's enough for me," responded Jack. He turned towards a fully armored Delta and Eleanor who teleported into the living room. "I'll give you guys a ride to the docks"
Eleanor, Delta and Sofia stood in the cockpit of their repaired bathysphere, in the middle of the sea directly above Rapture. They all shared a glance before descending into Ryan's hell on earth once again to find a friend and innocents to take back with them.
"Dr. Tenenbaum, this is Eleanor. Mother and Father are with me, and we're coming to help you," Eleanor said into the vessels radio as they entered the city's docks. They all left the ship as soon as it settled and the docks were drained and entered an airlock, stepping back into the city of Rapture.
In his dark cell he lay there, deathly still, the only movement being his chest rising and falling in sync to his silent breaths. No rustle of clothing, no discernible heartbeat, no sound came from the figure in the dark cell, who lay against the wall opposite his door. He sat like this for ten minutes until suddenly his eyelids lifted and revealed warm brown orbs glowing with a crimson hue. His lips parted, revealing a nice, clean set of strong teeth. The red glow of his eyes intensified as his mouth formed a pleased snarl, and his teeth slowly began to taper to a point as his canines grew longer and sharper.
'Hmm, welcome back Delta. You seem a bit dull right now. It's expected, but I'm sure I can fix it.' The figure laughed, a deep, quiet chuckle that was soft yet drew fear across the whole facility.
