Always Safe with Daddy

Chapter 1: Daddy Loves You

Delta ran down the hall towards the fleeing Splicer, with Eleanor on his back begging him to get her toy back. It started when Delta and Eleanor had danced and she had laid her syringe on the ground (see FatherDaughter dance, that is the prequel to this) When they had finished dancing they noticed that a Splicer had stolen her syringe. Quickly they had set off after the crazed Rapture civilian.

Ahead of them the Splicer turned a corner. Delta noticed they were heading into what the people of Rapture called the Chaos Zone. It is a part of the city that had fallen into ruin. With some places leaking dangerously and cave ins everywhere. The sane people had abandoned this part of the city and it soon had fell under the control of the Splicers. Andrew Ryan himself had warned the citizens to stay away from Chaos Zones such as this one, which day by day more and more were appearing.

Delta, however, didn't care what Andrew Ryan had said. He could handle himself against a few lunatics. Without thinking twice, he entered the Chaos Zone and headed after the Splicer. No one was going to get away with making his daughter upset.

They were in an abandoned apartment complex. It was at least three stories tall, but part of the floor was missing here and there on the second and third floor. Trash cans littered the first floor, with brightly lit fires in them. Most of the apartment doors were either broken or barely clinging to the doorframe. By the looks of the place, it was one of the first Chaos Zones.

Up ahead the Splicer had stopped and turned to look at them. Delta expected the crazed citizen to have a look of horror across his face, since the thing most likely knew his death was upon him. However, the Splicer looked anything but afraid. He had a smirk on his face and laughed at him. Delta immediately stopped his approach of the man. Something wasn't right here. Delta hissed in anger as he realized this whole thing was a trap!

Suddenly the quiet apartment complex was instantly thriving with activity. Splicers came running out of their apartments, brandishing gun, knives, hooks, and even hacked security bots. There were so many and Delta wasn't prepared for this. Firing up his trusty drill, he roared as loud as he could, causing the whole complex to shake. The outburst caused the Splicers to stop momentarily, unsure if getting the jump on this Big Daddy was a good idea.

Delta took advantage of this and placed Eleanor on the ground. He motioned for her to go hide behind a nearby pile of rubble. She nodded and ran off. Turning his attention to the crazed group, he growled and charged them. He must protect his little girl at all costs, even if that meant dying for her.

Delta slammed into the closest Splicer, a woman with nothing but a handgun to fight with. He crushed her body against the wall and her limp form crumbled to the floor. Another Splicer, wielding a piece of rusted pipe, rushed him. He leaped at Delta and smashed his pipe across his helmet. Delta merely grunted with the minor pain and stabbed the man in the face with his drill. The man screamed as the deadly drill sliced his face to bits. His screaming soon stopped and he fell backwards on the ground, and didn't get back up. Suddenly Delta was knocked backwards as barrage of armor-piercing bullets hit him. He moaned in slight pain as the occasional bullet got through his suit and ran into his body. He knew then that he was in trouble. All he had was a drill against a horde of villains armed with guns. Delta could only use the drill at close-range and he figured he would be gunned down before he could run up to them and kill them all.

Acting quickly, Delta scanned the battlefield. His eyes came across a fallen Big Daddy. The creature lay in a crumbled heap in the corner, with a Rivet Gun resting in his hands. Still being pelted by bullets, Delta made his way to his dead brother and picked up the weapon. He looked and noticed that he had just enough ammo to take out at least the majority of the Splicers. Without, wasting a second, he opened fired on the crazies. He watched with glee as they dropped like flies. Some retreated when they noticed their numbers were quickly depleting. Delta howled as he could almost taste victory.

That was when he was hit with an Electrocute plasmid. He body froze as the electricity coursed through him. He sunk to his knees and the pain started to get to him. Nearby, he heard one of the Splicers laugh as he made his way towards him.

"Not so tough now are ya?" The Splicer taunted, sending another jolt of electricity into Delta. Delta screamed out in pain and fell to the floor.

The splicer laughed and pointed a machine gun straight at his head. Regular bullets would take awhile just to get through his armor, but Delta guessed the madman had armor-piercing bullets. Delta closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable. He had failed as Eleanor's protector and worse than that……he had failed as a father. He just prayed that Eleanor would run away and hide somewhere safe.

I'm so sorry my daughter, Delta thought to himself, just know that daddy loves you

Just then a screamed rang out from behind the Splicer. Delta could only guess that the other Splicers had Eleanor.
