It Begins
Disclaimer: I own nothing from the Mega Man series, nodda, zilch, zippo and know nothing about the series. So I'm pretty much winging this. Only thing that is mine are the characters I made up. Siren is a character I also made up (unless there's a reploid named that then it's totally by mistake) THIS IS YAOI/YURI/HET relationships! Also incest. In other words, guys loving guys, girls loving girls, brother-loving brother, guy loves girl…blah blah blah! And no, I'm not making my characters into a Mary Sue, some chapters will be heavily dedicated to one character. Again not to your liking, then please leave. Flames will go straight to all reploids or bots that are in need of them for energy. And yes characters are OCC (out of Character) mainly because I have no idea what they are like. Also Wily is not the big bad nutcase everyone thinks he is. I believe that something must have set him off painfully to steer him in the dark path. Oh and some time traveling and rape mentions. LOTS OF ANGST (In my perspective anyway.) Well enjoy minna.
^w^ Vampy….P.S. If you don't know the meaning to the Japanese words I use ask and I'll try to answer them.
Su-lea Omega sighed, rubbing at her sore eyes. It was well past midnight on a chilly Friday night in October. The transfer from America to Japan was a horrible moving experience for her family. Her husband had flat out refused to come along not even supporting the idea that the job for robot upgrade would provide anything.
1 "Robots are nothing more but worthless pieces of crap. They cause nothing but trouble and you want to waste your time developing them into more human! Woman have you flipped that blonde head of yours!"
Su-lea sighed, dropping back into her chair. Her marriage was on the line she knew but she had no idea what her husband's problem was with robots. She worried even more about leaving their 6-year-old daughter alone with him while she worked. She had notice that Siren withdrawing more and more ever day. Never coming out of her room unless necessary. It was difficulty for the little girl to make friends. She was the only albino in the family, though she was beautiful. Her white frosty hair was past her back, and it easily covered her body when the wind blew it over her shoulders. Her alabaster skin was so delicate that the slightest bruised showed. Siren was the only thing that could keep her sane in this world at the moment. The petit child would always brighten up her day in any way she could; either with a song, a drawing or just being there always seemed to make her feel better. She was such a talented child, but wasted it on staying indoors instead of sharing it with the world.
Shaking her head, Su-lea decided that she had enough work for the night. * Dr. Wily and Dr. Light are expecting me tomorrow afternoon. I'll need as much sleep as I can get. *
With all her belongings in her briefcase, Su-lea Omega headed home.
~~~~~~~~~~~
1.1 SLAP
A small body is hit from above, losing balance on the staircase it falls. A man with short black hair and a face set in a snare watched as the body tumbled onto the polished marble floor, just as the door opened.
Su-lea Omega stared in shock, as her daughter's body lay lifeless on the floor of her new home. Staring up at her, husband, she no longer saw the man she once loved, the man that she grew up with. This person looming at the top of the stairs was a complete stranger, his face full of rage and hate.
"Mama." A weak voice called out to her. Looking down to the body on the floor, she could she see Siren struggling to rise. Dropping her briefcase she knelt on the floor feeling for any damage. A hiss of pain and the child clenched her eyes shut, a small whimpering escaping her mouth.
"Oh god. What the hell did you do!?" Su-lea screamed not taking her eyes off her daughter. Siren was coughing, blood trailing down her chin.
"Pha, lil bitch deserved it. Can't take anything, hides in that room of 'ers like a fuckin' coward. She as useless as that cocky hair brained idea of yours." Her husband slurred, having to clutch at the banister for support, a sure sign that he was once again drunk.
"Mama, go cough…don't let him hurt you bad too. Cough cough!" Siren tried to reach for her mother only to curl up in a ball as the pain became too great. Su-lea pulled off her coat and wrapped it around the trembling body. Carefully, as to not hurt her any more, Su-lea grabbed her briefcase and ran. She could hear the cursing and threats her...no he was no longer her husband.
Gently placing Siren on the passenger's seat, Su-lea had gotten in and locked the car door when a fist smashed at the window. Screaming she reared her head back frightened. He was pounding on the window trying to break the damn thing. Wasting no time she revved up the engine and nearly hit him while speeding away.
* Almost being the word. * Glancing back at Siren, her face became even more worried. There was no sound coming from the bundle and fear began to grip at her heart.
"Siren hon, talk to me. Please, let me now you're alright."
There was silence for a few moments, it had started to rain, the pelting of the drops of water on the car the only noise.
"I'm just a little…bird…and you can …see me fly. I'm just a little bird my love for you can help me fly."
Su-lea breath a sigh of relief, but that was soon crushed. The hospital was too far away and she worried that she wouldn't get Siren there in time. Seeing a road sign, and then glancing back at Siren, Su-lea turned at the next right.
*****
A banging at the door interrupted the two scientist's research. One with fading wild hair, grumbled about late night visitors. The other a kind hearted man also with fading hair and a beard, chuckled at his partner's annoyance.
"Now who in the world would be here at this unlikely hour?" Dr. Thomas Light rubbed at his beard pondering the thought.
"You mean who would be sane enough?" Dr. Wily smiled at his friend. The two laughed while going to the main entrance to take a gander at their visitor.
"Dr. Light, Dr Wily. Are you there? Please answer me." It was a woman's voice but with the wind howling it was hard to tell what she was saying. Dr. Wily rolled his eyes clicking on the vid screen to see their guest.
"Good heavens. Quick Wily, open the door it's Miss Omega." Dr. Light exclaimed. Blinking in surprise Wily turned to look at the screen. A beautiful women with short blonde hair plaster to her face was standing in the rain, out of breath and carrying a small bundle. Wasting no time Wily hit the door button. Wind and rain poured into the building along with a soggy figure that ran to the side to escape the storm. Once inside the doors closed.
Breathing heavily Su-lea dropped to her knees, clutching at the bundle in her arms. Looking up at the two she tried to smile but couldn't.
"I'm…sorry to …bother you, but I need some help. The hospital… was too far away and I thought I wouldn't be able to make it." She rushed out.
The two showed great concern at hearing that. Dr. Wily was at her side looking her over. "Were you caught in the storm?"
"No..no not me my daughter. Please I need your help." Su-lea raised her drenched face up to Wily's. They were so close noses almost touching emerald eyes staring into onyx ones. A cough brought them out of whatever trance they were in. Dr Light looked at the bundle in Su-lea's arms and gasped. A small child of six, with frosty hair and pale skin had a look of pain pinched onto her face. There was also some dried blood caked to her chin.
"Quickly there's no time to waste." Running ahead of them, Dr. Light opened the door motioning the other's to hurry. Dr. Wily helped Su-lea to stand, the poor woman was shaking from the cold or was it fear?
*No time to think about that. The child needs help. * At the lower level of the complex, the two set to work. Su-lea stayed out of the way while the two men worked. She felt helpless, not able to do anything for her daughter. Sitting on a chair Su-lea watched until her eyes closed and sleep claimed her.
A light shaking woke her up. Cracking open an eye she was met with a man with fading hair, and a mustache. Wearing a confused look, Su-lea looked around to see where she was.
"Where?" she asked.
"At our lab. You came here for help for your daughter." The man said.
"SIREN!" About to get up, the man held her down. She glared up at him but he seemed unfazed.
"Do not worry, we were able to get her stabilized. She will be fine in a few days." Su-lea closed her eyes dropping her head on the man's shoulder.
"Thank you, thank you so much." Hugging closely, Wily petted her hair, noticing it was still wet.
"We should get you dried off. You can become ill yourself you don't take some care." Su-lea looked surprised at this. Wily blushed and coughed into his hand. "There is no point in you becoming ill, if you are to work with Dr. Light and myself."
Smiling, Su-lea lay back down on the chair. "Dr. Wily I presume." She should have known, with the germen accent and crazy looking hair.
"Right you are madam, or should I address you as Dr. Omega?" Wily crossed his arms looking at her.
"If you wish, you may." Her smile faltered when she gazed past him looking at the figure through the large glass window. Following her gaze Wily shook his head.
"I'm quiet curious as to how this happened Miss Omega." Wily mentally smacked himself. The woman was obviously tired and worried, and here he was badgering her. Hearing her sigh he looked down seeing her wrap the coat she had covered her daughter in tightly around herself.
"I was coming home from work late last night. When I opened the door she was on the floor. My husband, pushed or hit did something to cause her to fall down the stairs. I thought something was going on, but I was so busy with every thing and when I asked Siren about it she never said anything. I should have known. Any way when I went to the car my husband tried to break the car window. I was scared; I didn't know what to do. I nearly hit him when I drove away. As I said before I didn't think I'd make it to the hospital, so I came here hoping you or Dr. Light would be here. And the rest you know." Walking over to a closet, Wily pulled something out and tossed it to her.
"We can discuss this over some breakfast with Dr. Light. Then we can check up on your daughter. But for know, please change. The bathroom is through that door to your left. There will be someone here to take you to the cafeteria. Don't take to long though, it tends to get busy when the other workers come in." With that done Wily exited to the elevators. Looking at the clothing in her hands, Su-lea smiled and walked up to the window. Her chest constricted when she saw Siren on the large examining table. She looked so tiny; her right arm was in a sling, tubes feeding latching onto her skin as if it were a part of her. Her left leg was in a cast and the right side was already bruising. Shaking her head, she bit at her hand to stifle the tears she so wanted to let loose.
*No, now's not the time to cry. I have to be strong for her, for the both of us. Forgive me Siren; I've been a terrible mother. I'm sorry. * Turning, Su-lea headed for the bathroom.
Later when she returned to the room she fell asleep in a small silver bat- bot was waiting for her.
"Hiya. My name is Batty. I was sent here to guide you around the complex. Our first stop is the cafeteria. Shall we go?"
Nodding Su-lea followed Batty to the elevator. Once inside he flew into the panel and landed on the floor. Scooping him up she checked to see if there was any damage.
"Why on earth did you do that?" she asked perching him on her shoulder.
"I'm not very strong so when I try to push a button I sometimes have to crash into it." Batty replied getting comfortable on her shoulder.
"I see." The rest of the trip was in silence until they reached the cafeteria. There she saw Dr. Light and Dr. Wily in-grossed in conversation. Spotting the new arrivals Dr. Wily motioned them over then took a sip of his drink. Turning around, Dr. Light smiled at the new comers.
"Ah, Miss Omega, how are you this morning?"
"Better, thanks to the both f you. I hope I'm not being to much of a bother." Besides her Wily snorted. Three sets of eyes looked at him.
"You were already going to meet with us today, there is no need for that. This way we can now get down to business."
"Ah, yes. Now Miss Omega, I know this is sudden but I'm afraid we must do something about your husband's actions. HE could have easily killed your daughter if she landed incorrectly. I know you love him…"
Su-lea couldn't help but burst out laughing at that. Both Wily and Light stared at her if she were mad. Wiping at the tears in her eyes, she let her head hang low.
"My marriage has been nothing but a burden recently Dr. Light. My HUSBAND has change since my daughter was born. But last night was the final straw, he nearly killed her, and with my being away from home due to my work he is always home before me when he's done with his. I have no idea what else he could have done to her. I'm frightened to find out. Siren never says anything. She's the world to me and I don't want anything to happen to her. So if that means turning against my husband…then so be it." Nodding to Light, Wily stood up and went to a vid screen by the entrance to the cafeteria. Glancing back at the others Wily shook his head. Light was trying to comfort Su-lea. When the screen popped up, a young robot-officer was waiting.
"How can I help you Dr. Wily?"
Mean while Dr. Light was doing all he could to help out the newest addition of their team. Out of her wet clothing Su-lea was dressed in black slacks, a gray shirt and of course a lab coat.
"Are you sure you will be alright?" Dr. Light asked patting Su-lea on the back. Running a hand threw her hair, she smiled at his concern.
"I'll be fine Dr. Light."
"Very well, I assume you'll be reverting back to your original name then. Now what would that be."
"Actually, I never changed my name when I was married. Omega is my maiden name."
"Oh, I'm sorry I never knew. Well then, I guess that's one thing we don't have to worry about. Well is there anything you would like to do before we start today?" Dr. Light asked handing her a cup of tea.
"I'd like to see my daughter if that's alright." Su-lea asked.
"Of course you can. I should have thought of that in the first place."
"Thought of what in the first place?" a voice in front of them asked.
"Ack!" The three (don't forget Batty) jumped at the voice.
"You are going to give me a heart attack one of these days Wily." Dr. Light chuckled. "What we were discussing is seeing Siren. I'm sure she's awake by now."
"Ah, well then shall we." Back down the hall the group entered the elevators. Already people were coming in for work, greeting the group as they went by. When they entered the room that Siren was in a surprise greeted them inside. Siren was awake and trying to dislodge the needles in her arms. Not so much as a flinch graced her face as she ripped the needle out.
"Siren! You leave that in right now!" Rushing over to her Su-lea wrapped the blanket around the bleeding arm. When Dr. Light tried to touch her left hand, Siren rewarded him with a glare and tried to pull away.
"It's ok honey, he's just trying to help." Su-lea caressed the side of her face that wasn't bruised. Glancing at her mother sideways, Siren frowned. It wasn't until she saw Wily that she focused on him instead of what her mother and Dr. Light were doing. The two stared at each other not blinking once.
"There all done. Now you leave that in lil' miss." Blinking, Siren looked down to her arm, which was wrapped in bandages. Looking up to her mother, then to Dr. Light and finally Wily Siren looked back at her arm.
"Did I do something wrong?" her voice was barely a whisper in the large room.
"Don't worry Siren, you're not in trouble. That has to stay on so you can get better." Su-lea smiled at her.
"I… felt, funny, he always…" Siren quickly clamped her mouth shut looking down at her lap.
"He always what?" Wily asked stepping up behind her to kneel down so he was able to see for more closely. The child was very beautiful despite her age, how someone could harm one so young; Wily shook his head trying to get his thoughts organized.
"Siren?"
Being careful of her arm and leg Siren turned so she was looking at all the adults. Fingering the blanket she took a deep breath and glanced up.
"He would always put the needle in and take it out when the bad stuff was put in me. He said it would make everything feel better, that I wouldn't have to hurt. He didn't want you to know cause he knew you didn't do it anymore. You were too busy or tired to do what he wanted. He said 'Well if you mother won't play with me then why don't we play.' I…was scared. I didn't want him to hurt you."
Su-lea's face was pale as each word felt like a stab to the chest. Her knees buckled and if Wily weren't there to catch her she would have fallen flat on the floor. Wily looked at Light, then at the two newest additions to their team. Su-lea couldn't stop trembling, every part of her body shook. Siren looked away from them clearly confused, thinking she had upset her mother somehow. Reaching out for her, Su-lea grasped the edge of the table. Helping her Wily set her on the table so she could reach for her daughter. Gathering her close, Su-lea clutched at Siren sobbing into her hair.
"I'm so sorry honey, I'm sorry. I should have been there for you. I…please I'm sorry." Su-lea could only repeat those words feeling like the lowest scum of the earth. A light touch on her face brought her out of her shock. Siren was smiling at her wiping at the tears.
"You're my mom, I still love my mama." Yawning Siren laid her head on her mother's shoulder looking at the others in the room. Her gaze lingered on Wily a smile appearing on her bruised face.
"Take care of mama." Wily looked surprise at the little girl, but something about that smile melted his heart. Nodding to each other Siren then closed her eyes going limp in her mother's arms.
"SIREN!!!" Su-lea's scream could be heard all over the complex. Wily and Light rushed over to them, checking on the two. Su-lea was sobbing clutching her daughter to her chest muttering apologizes. Wily checked on Siren trying to find a pulse.
Su-lea could feel her sanity being ripped at its seams. Her daughter, precious child was dead, DEAD and all because of her.
"MISS OMEGA! PLEASE LET GO! SHE'S STILL ALIVE!"
*Still alive. * Blinking up in surprise, Su-lea was face to face with Dr. Light, his face showing great amount of worry and concern. Hands were besides her checking on Siren. Su-lea turned to see Wily, face set in determination, applying something to Siren. Looking up from his work, Wily nodded, then went to help the child.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Su-lea was busy typing up the report she was given by Wily. Face grim, she went about trying to keep her mind focused on upgrading the CPU's for robots. She was thankful for the distraction, even though she should have been with Siren; she felt that she could do more at this time. The plane she was working on was going to be a gift for her daughter incase anything were to ever happen.
*Maybe this way I can redeem myself. You grew up never knowing what a real family was like, but I'll make sure you at least have a chance at happiness. *
"I'll stake my life on it." She muttered.
"Stake your life on what?" a voice asked from behind her.
"Dr.. Dr. Wily. I'm sorry I didn't hear you knock. I was so caught up with my work…"
Waving his hand in the air Wily just stepped to see what she was working on. "Very interesting. The circuitry is quite excellent and the external skeletal structure could use some work. You've come along way yes?"
Blushing Su-lea turned back to her screen. "My mother was a doctor who worked to help people who lost limbs in accidents. My father was an engineer and they both worked together to help people. They developed mechanical body parts for people but never got into creating robots. I was fascinated with the both their occupations and started to put two and two together and boom. Here I am. But to work with you and Dr. Light is an honor, a dream I've always had. To be able to give them life and have them as close to human as possible."
" I'm glad someone shares our dream. Humanity is going nowhere fast; we are fools living in a dream world. We thrive to create, but sometimes it leads to our destruction. Maybe with the creation of a robot with human intentions we will better understand each other." Wily stared at the woman in front of him. Blushing, he coughed into his hand grumbling out an apology.
"That sounds interesting. Maybe …we umm can discuss more about it over something to eat, lunch maybe." Su-lea asked looking down at her hands in her lap.
Wily stared in shock. Was she …asking him, no no, they were just colleges nothing more.
"Lunch it is then. Would you prefer Dr. Light to join us…?"
"Oh...I assume that would be better. I'm still new at this sort of thing. Two experts would be better. Thank you Dr. Wily." Turning around Su-lea began her work once more.
Raising his hand about to protest, Wily let it drop.
"Till tomorrow then Dr. Omega." And with that said Wily showed himself out.
Stopping her typing Su-lea let her head rest on the monitor.
*What's wrong with me? Jack is now in jail and Siren is getting better. This is my dream come true but…I don't know. Dr. Wily and Dr. Light are the best teachers a person can ask for. I was never this nervous around my other supervisors. But whenever he's around. I should talk to Siren soon. She's been so tired and sleeping so much I haven't had a chance to see her. *
Su-lea closed her eyes remember the time the police came to take her to the courtroom. Dr. Light had to be present to be witnesses in the trail. Siren was unable to appear to testify physically but they had placed a monitor in her room so she could still tell her side of the story. Dr. Wily and Batty were keeping her company in case anything happened.
Flashback
"Now Miss Omega, would you please explain what happened on Friday October 19 20XX." The judge asked.
"I was coming home late from work tired. I couldn't help but think something was wrong. When I opened the door to my home, I saw my daughter lying on the floor. My…ex was at the top of the stairs he was a mess. I was shocked at what happened. I dropped my bag and screamed at him what he had done. He clutched at the railing, he was drunk, I knew this because he responded in a slurred voice. He told me she was a …"
"Please Miss Omega, though it is hard, try to say what he said to you that night." The judge smiled down at her patting her hand. Nodding, she looked right at her ex.
"he said that she was a , lil bitch and deserved it. That she can't take anything, hides in her room like a fucking coward. And she was as useless as my cocky hair brained idea." Su-lea felt herself boil when looking at Jack. The hatred she had for him was giving her the courage to face him. She then looked to Siren who looked lost in the discussion. The judge nodded and then looked over to the vid screen.
"Thank you Miss Omega. Now Siren is that your name."
Siren looked up from playing with Batty to stare at the screen. Looking at her mother she turned to look at Jack. Her eyes widen a bit and she lowered her head.
"Yes sir." She whispered. The judge motioned for Wily to proceed. Everyone watched as Wily went to a draw and pulled something out hiding it behind his back.
"Now Siren, look at me hon, is this what was used on you when your mother wasn't home? Look at what Wily's hands." Siren turned to see Wily hold out an empty syringe. Siren cringed at the sight and wrapped her good arm around Batty.
"Hai."
"What did you feel when your father used it?" the judge asked.
"I didn't feel anything. I was tired, and sleepy. I was cold at first but then it felt like when my foot falls asleep."
"That's good Siren. Do you know why he did that to you?"
"Because mama wasn't around." Siren nuzzled Batty.
The courtroom was silent, many pondering what she meant.
Clearing his throat the looked to Jack.
"What pray tell does she mean by that Mr. Reynolds?" the judge glared at the man. "You may take a seat now Miss Omega. Mr. Reynolds, take the stand." As the two passed each other Jack suddenly grabbed Su-lea's neck trying to choke her. It didn't take long for the police to restrain him. Dr. Light was by Su-lea's side in a second helping her up.
"Fucking bitch! I swear you're going to regret this. You and that little brat."
The robot and human officers were able to drag Jack off until order was once again retained.
"Miss Omega, I can assure at this moment that Mr. Reynolds will be the least of your concerns. As far as I am concerned this case is closed. Have a good day. Adjourned."
End Flashback
That was a week ago today. Jack was sentenced to life in prison for child abuse, drug abuse, sexual assault on a minor and the list went on. Looking at the time Su-lea decided her work could wait. Saving her files, she logged out and made her way to Siren's room. Upon entering she was surprised at what she saw. Dr. Light and Wily were talking to Siren. Wily was sitting a the side of the bed while Dr. Light was sitting on the bed showing her a model of a robot.
"And soon they'll be able to feel and act just like real people." Light handed her the model so she could feel the texture of it.
"Feel real, like us. My…he never liked the idea. Said it was a waste of time and that robots are useless except for work."
"What do you think Siren?" Wily asked from his position on the chair. Frowning, Siren turned the model over examining it. Su-lea stared in shock as Siren smiled, the first real smile she had in over a month since moving to Japan.
"Can I name him." She asked.
The two laughed agreeing to her terms.
"So what did you have in mind." Everyone turned to see her standing at the door.
'Umm, Blues. Is that ok?"
"That's a fine name, don't you agree Wily?" Light turned to see Wily rubbing his chin as if he was in thought.
"Blues…I don't see why not. " Siren smiled at them, and hugged Dr. Light. Crawling toward Wily she looked at him unsure. Sliding off the bed she looked up to meet his gaze.
"Arigato." And she then limped over to her mother, who picked her up and were thought to ponder what that was all about.
~~~~~~~~~
It was another month before progress started to speed up. Research was sent to Dr. Light's own home. Dr. Wily and Dr. Omega would meet him there working on the new proto-type. Siren would watch as her mother and Wily talked and acted strangely around each other. Frustrated she went to talk to Dr. Light.
"Dr. Light, may I come in please?" Siren was standing outside his door.
"Oh Siren it's you. Is something wrong?" Dr. Light asked peeking his head out the side of the door.
Shaking her head no she stood looking back at the room her mother and Wily were in, currently working.
"It is about your mother?"
She nodded.
"Come in, come in." Closing the door Dr. Light couldn't help but smile. "What would you like to talk about Siren-chan?"
"Mom and Mr. Wily are acting weird. When they talk sometimes they blush and do weird things."
Dr. Light couldn't help but chuckle. Siren was the only one that called Wily Mr. *Ah, so she has noticed. Those two are dancing around each other for so long. And here I thought I was the only one hat noticed.* "I see and what do you think Siren?"
"I think they like each other, but are scared to say something. Grown up's are so confusing. How come they just say what they want." Siren said crossing her arms looking annoyed and irritated.
Dr. Light couldn't help but laugh .The child was too much at times, she could teach adults lessons. Ah youth.
"Because they're scared and stupid. Adults are like that Siren." Dr. Light ruffled the girl's hair, which he knew really annoyed her.
Mock growling she tried to swat his hand away and clutched onto it. Looking at his hand she held onto it.
"I don't want mom to be alone anymore. I want her to be happy, and I think Mr. Wily likes my mom. I like him too he's nice, and funny with his hair and mustache. You both teach me lots of smart stuff and are nice to my mom."
"Siren, aren't you happy?" Dr. Light asked feeling nervous all of a sudden. She looked up from his hand and placed it on to of her head smiling.
"As long as you, mom and Mr. Wily are happy then I'm happy. Well thanks for talking with me. I'm going to go eat something." Hopping off the table she ran to the door. Turning she bowed to Dr. Light and left.
"But aren't you happy?" Dr. Light repeated to no one.
The days past slowly, Siren kept her watch over her mother and Wily and rolled her eyes as the two still shied away from each other, making up lame excuses. Even the patient Dr. Light was starting to lose his nerve.
"For heaven sakes Wily will you tell her already!"
"What are talking about this time Light? I'm quite busy and…"
"Would you ask Miss Omega out already! It is driving me insane, you two walk around each other like lovesick puppies. And I am not the only one that agrees. I must have discussed this with Siren numerous times during the week. For the love of our sanity just ask her." Wily blinked in surprise at Light. He had never known his friend to lose his control even when frustrated.
Elsewhere…
"Mom, do you like Mr. Wily?" Siren asked not looking at he mother from the comic she was reading. The question took Su-lea by surprise and she nearly cut through the circuit she was working on. Taking off the goggles, she peered at her daughter's direction.
"Why do you ask?"
Behind the comic Siren rolled her eyes. Shrugging she flipped to the next page. "Cause I heard him and Mr. Light talking about you."
"Oh?"
"Yup, said how nice and pretty you are. How come you haven't asked him out yet? Is it cause you know…" Siren let the sentence end there.
"Siren, what brought this on?"
Putting her comic down, Siren glared at her mother. Su-lea felt nervous discussing this with her daughter. It wasn't easy to explain…
"Are you afraid that you love him?" Siren's voice was only whisper in the stillroom.
"Now Siren that's enough! I don't know where you're getting this from but I would prefer if we not talk about this. You're too young to understand." As soon as those words left her mouth she wished she could take them back. One look at Siren's face and it felt like a blow to the face.
"You love him, but you're to stubborn and scared! He likes you and you like him! What's wrong with that? You're sad, I know I hear you crying at night!" Running up to her Siren clung to her mother's black pants. "I don't want you to be sad, I hate it, and it hurts. He's nothing like dad, he'll be better! Please mom, please just try."
Su-lea couldn't tear her eyes away from the scene before her. Kneeling down, she scoped up her trembling child and held her close. Siren wouldn't look her in the face hiding behind her long hair, but Su-lea could see the tears brimming at the corner of her eyes.
"Do you like Dr. Wily Siren-chan?" Su-lea asked soothingly.
"His a funny looking man but he's nice to me. Weird but nice." Siren buried her head in the crook of her mother's shoulder.
"Well then I guess I'm ask him then, ok."
In another room…
"Not one word Light, not one word." Dr. Wily crossed his arms blushing like mad. Dr. Light was smiling smugly at his friend watching the scene play out in his and Siren's favor.
~~~~~~~
In one week things changed dramatically in the home of Dr. Thomas Light. Su- lea and Wily had finally mustard enough guts to go out for dinner. Siren and Dr. Light waved them off as the two left. Siren had picked out the dress her mother would wear. It was a long black clinging evening gown with two slits to show off her fine and smooth legs. Light helped to choose a tux for Wily, traditional black with white shirt. Siren also dropped off a hint to Wily of her mother's favorite flowers (Lily).
Dr. Light was busy in his lab designing more proto-types but was stuck on names for them. Loud music blasted from the upstairs room, startling him.
'I love Rock & Roll, so put another dime in the jukebox Baby.
I love Rock & Roll so come and dance with me.'
*Hmm, Rock…Roll...yes yes those would do nicely. Siren you might have very unique taste in music but you always seem to pull through. * With that Dr. Light saved his data and powered everything down for the night.
Su-lea had the time of her life. First the dinner and then Wily had taken her to the opera. On the way home the two discussed more on the production of the proto-type. Entering the house the two had to sneak around so they wouldn't wake anyone up.
"Thank you for a wonderful time Dr. Wily."
"Yes, well the evening was quite enjoyable with you tonight my dear. We really must do this again, if we have the time." Wily stared shyly at Su- lea, blushing.
"Yes, we really should. Goodnight." Leaning toward him, Su-lea gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and walked into her room. Wily stood there, shocked. He placed a trembling hand on the spot she kissed. In a daze, Wily walked to his room to retire for the night.
~~~~~~
Days turned to week as the process of the upgrade continued. Frustration levels grew and love bloomed. Siren's birthday was coming up and the three adults had a very big surprise for her. It was snowing outside, Siren was in her winter wear, building a snow angel with Dr. Light's help. Su-lea was in town shopping for food. Dr. Wily was inside making drinks. The door opened and two very drench individuals ran inside.
"It is freezing outside!"
Wily turned to look at the two and burst out laughing.
"And just what is so amusing Wily?" Dr. Light asked. A pulling at his pants leg made him look down. Siren smiled and crossed her eyes… Looking in a mirror Dr. Light couldn't help but laugh.
"Maybe you should have been Santa Clause at the Christmas Party." Wily said between laughs. Siren watched the two smiling. Just then the vid screen blinked.
"I'll get it." Siren rushed over to the vid screen while Wily and Light got their laughter under control.
"So hehe, Wily when will you ah, ask her?" Dr. Light rubbed at his sides, the laughter almost too much for him. Sighing he flopped down on the chair at the table. Wily handed him a cup of coco and settled down opposite of Light. Taking out a box from his lab coat pocket, he fingered the lining of the small velvety box.
"Today, I'm going to ask her today. You will be there won't you?" Wily glanced `at Light then down at the box again.
"Oh course I will, we have been through everything together old friend."
"Mr. Wily, Mr. Light!" Siren rushed toward the two almost sliding past them. "There's big trouble in town. That was mom, there's some huge fighting going on and people are getting hurt." Siren heaved from rushing out all the words.
"What!" Wily turned on the television and sure enough there was a reporter talking about the battle.
"Rival gangs are been causing trouble since last month but nothing as this. Already we have 3 people that have been shot and 1 robot shot dead. Police have asked civilians to stay indoors where ever they are in the area. More news to come."
Siren looked at Wily then at Dr. Light. Both were silent, but Siren could see Wily clutching his fists under the table.
"Is mom going to be ok?" Wily looked at Siren face confused. Dr. Light couldn't look at her, she looked so lost and small as if her world was shattered once more.
"Oh course she will. We'll go and see." Walking over to his coat, Wily motioned for them to follow.
"Most likely they won't allows too close but we'll try." Dr. Light took the keys from the hook and they headed for the garage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The area was in shambles: windows cracked like spider webs from the bullets or other weapons used. People cowered in shops and watched from their offices. Shots could be heard echoing in the snow covered streets. No one dared to interfere the bickering of the two gangs. Police couldn't even get close enough due to the shower of arsenal.
Siren was waiting in the car as Wily and Light talked to the security officer robot halting their movement.
"I'm sorry but there is no access to this area, it's off limits. Please return home it's safer there."
Siren was getting tired from waiting in the car. Something crawled around inside her shirt, made her pause in her watching of the adults. Pulling her shirt away from her neck, Batty poked his head out.
"It's stuffy in there. What's going on? Are we there yet?" Batty whined climbing out of Siren's shirt and perching upside down on her shoulder.
"When mom went shopping these gangs started to fight every one has to stay inside. We're going to see if we can get mom."
"You're…nuts." Batty poked his head out from his wings then slipped it back inside. Siren shrugged and looked out the window. Seeing everyone was busy talking, Siren slipped out and made her way toward the shops. Peering in through the windows Siren stopped as she saw her mother in Mrs. Takeshi's bakery. Tapping on the window her mother and an old lady ducked behind the counter. Cautiously they peered over the edge of the counter. Siren could see her mother's shocked face and ran to the door. Opening it she grabbed Siren and dragged her inside to safety.
"Siren what are you doing here! It's dangerous, how did you get here?" Her mother glared at her.
"Now deary, let the girl answer before you hack her head off. It's good to see you again Siren-chan." Mrs. Takeshi was one of the nicest people the Omega's new since they had moved. Siren loved the black haired woman. She kept her hair tied to a bun, a few strands falling in front of her face. She lost her husband and daughter to an earthquake and the shop was all that was left in her family's name. She was a petit women average size and as gentle as the breeze.
"Mr. Wily and Mr. Light brought me. It's not their fault; I snuck out while they were talking to a police bot. They don't know I'm gone."
"Not yet anyway." Batty poked his head out from his wings. Siren bopped him on the head for that comment.
"You still shouldn't have come Siren. What if you were killed?" Su-lea was scared and thankful at the same time.
"You can have more kids, but you're the only mom I have. And you and Mr. Wily love each other. You shouldn't die." Siren said seriously grabbing onto her mother's hand.
"Si…Siren." Su-lea didn't know how she should react to that. Instead she hugged her daughter tightly. "We'll both live and be a family ok, a big happy family."
"Promise." The childlike voice sounded so unlike Siren and Su-lea had to look at her to make sure everything was alright.
"Hai, I promise."
All of a sudden an explosion rocked the shop, toppling racks and lights. The glass shattered spilling everywhere in the shop. The three huddled together trying to escape the glass shower. Siren stole a glance from beneath her mother's arms. To the side she spotted a door, hoping it lead somewhere.
"Mom, what about that door." Su-lea looked to where Siren was motioning and spotted the backdoor. Sparing a glance at the other woman she nodded and the two made their way to the door. Every now and then they had to stop as blasts of plasma shot into the shop. Finally able to reach the door, Su-lea let Siren and Mrs. Takeshi out first and then followed. Leaning against the door, they waited until the shooting stopped to speak.
"Siren, how far away are Dr. Wily and Dr. Light."
"Umm, only took me…10 minutes." Siren stood up and ran to the end of the alley. Taking a peek she turned to the others and winked.
"Come on. Maybe if we're lucky we can make it." Getting up they made their way to where Siren was. With the snow and rubble it was quite easy for them to get by the gang members that they saw. At times they were forced to hide behind a toppled car or a piece of a broken building. Siren was watching the lasers and bullets like it was magic. That is until some one slammed against her hiding spot. It was a robot, tall and lanky, wearing a black suit and tie; a business-bot. Looking down at him Siren could only stare. A dark red substance was covering his brown hair and dark rounded face, seeping onto the white covered ground. Soon the snow was mush and the light from the bot's eyes were lifeless.
Siren reached out to touch the substance, pulling it back to get a closer look. She knew what it was wanted to be sure. A scream echoed in the streets, startling her as she placed her hands over her to shelter her, another victim laid to rest. At the touch of the cold and sticky substance she looked down at her self. The blood from the dead business-bot had soaked even closer to her. It seeped into her windbreaker pants and she could feel it numbing her. Looking at her hands she noticed the blood starting to run down and slowly dry up. She didn't know how long she stayed that way. She felt someone shaking her, calling her name. A cold chill ran down her spine and she almost fainted.
"Siren! Siren! Answer me, Siren!" Su-lea whispered to her fiercely. She nearly had a heart attack when she couldn't find Siren's hiding place. When she saw a black speck kneeling in the snow behind some rubble she thanked her lucky stars. But the relief was soon changed to fear as she saw the red staining the ground. Reaching her Su-lea was shocked to see blood smeared on Siren's face and hands. Looking for any injuries it was Mrs. Takeshi that pointed out the dead body to her.
"The poor thing must be in shock." Mrs. Takeshi shook her head sadly.
"Siren! Siren! Answer me, Siren!"
"I'm cold." Siren looked up to her mother eyes blank. "I'm so cold mama." Su-lea crushed Siren's motionless body to her own.
"It's ok sweetheart, every things ok. I'm here, I'm here."
After a moment Siren moved, she looked around in confusion as if wondering where she was. Looking at the arms around her she smiled up at her mother.
"Hi." Siren smiled at the two.
Choking back the sob, Su-lea smiled at her. "Hi. You ready to go." Nodding, Siren squirmed out of her mothers hold and led them to Dr. Light and Dr. Wily.
"Mommy, my clothes are all sticky." Siren frowned at touching her windbreakers.
"We'll clean them up when we get home." A few more blocks and the three could see the police tape cutting off access to the area. More blasts could be heard further in the city, but the group could care less about that. Su- lea could already see Dr. Wily and Dr. Light the two stuck out like sore thumbs in the crowd.
Running along the side of the building to escape being noticed Siren ran ahead of them.
"I can't believe she snuck out of the car, if any thing happens to her I'll never forgive myself." Dr. Wily chewed at his nails with worry about Su-lea and Siren.
"I should have stayed in the car with her, I'm sorry Wily…"
"Don't blame you're self Light, no use putting the blame on…Siren! Look it's her and Su-lea." Wily dragged Dr. Light over to where he could see them and another women with them.
Siren waved to them and ran out from where she was to greet them. Wily and Light ducked under the police tape just as Siren reached them. Giggling she rushed at Wily hugging him. Picking her up Wily twirled her around thanking and scolding her for worrying him. Su-lea and Mrs. Takeshi slowly made their way to the group, exhausted by the day's events.
"Wily!" Su-lea couldn't help the urge to run to him. She saw Siren whisper to him secretively and he blushed. Pulling a small box out of his pocket he showed it to Siren who smiled and turned shining eyes at her. Su-lea felt her heart fill with joy at the expression on Siren's face. Stopping short she looked at the two, her hand going to her mouth. Turning the box toward Su-lea Wily displayed a ring; a blue sapphire, surrounded by smaller diamonds, nestled in a white cushion…an engagement ring. She could hear the surprised gasp escape from Mrs. Takeshi who was a few feet to her left. Tears streaming down her face, Su-lea nodded. Taking her hand down she mouthed yes before running towards her future.
Siren smiled at the way her life was going, a new family, a real family and her mother would be happy. Looking back at her mother, fear gripped at her.
"Look out!!!!"
But alas it was too late. Su-lea was about to look back when pain filled her. The whole area seemed to grow still and gray. A plasma blast forced Su- lea to the ground, drenching the street with blood. Mrs. Takeshi took one look at her good friend and fainted on the spot. Wily and Light both gasped as their college dropped to the ground along with the ring completely forgotten. Siren saw movement behind a building purple metal shining from the afternoon sun, a mask and some sort of blaster on the person's arm. Not caring about that at the moment, she let go of Wily and ran to her mother's side.
"Mama, mama! Please, mama!' Siren didn't know what she was asking of her mother but she knew something wasn't right.
"Si…ren…be str..ong…" Su-lea coughed, blood escaping her mouth, but still she smiled.
"Su-lea!" Wily was at her side, clutching her hand. For once in his life he was speechless, everything making no sense.
"Wi..ly…I…love you, you… were the best thing….that mm..has ever happened to Siren and me. Where…where's the ring?" Su-lea asked trying to show her emotion for the man who stole her heart.
"Here Wily, you dropped it back there." Dr. Light handed the ring to Wily with shaky hands dropping to his knees. Thanking him, Su-lea moved so she could get her left hand out from underneath her body. Hands trembling Wily slid the ring on, fitting perfectly on Su-lea's ring finger. Gazing at the ring, Su-lea turned tear stricken eyes at Wily.
"I am honored even in death to be your wife." Not caring about her injuries, Su-lea reached out to wrap her arms around Wily's neck. Leaning against his forehead she closed her eyes as their lips met.
Wily couldn't believe that this was all happening. The woman of his dreams, other half of his soul was dying. He could feel her body grow cold in his arms. Breaking the kiss he looked into eyes that were once full of life now beginning to fade.
"I love you Su-lea, I love you." Wily whispered to her, trying to hold onto the moment as long as he could.
"Take…care of Siren for me please. I don't want her to be alone anymore. I love you both more then life itself. Take care of each other, live for me."
"M…Mama? You can't leave, you promised you wouldn't!" Siren screamed clutching at the two, tears running down her face. "You lied, you li…"
"Shhh, I'm sorry, but Siren. Know that I will always be watching over you. You'll never be alone. I'll always be with you…all." With her final breath, Su-lea Omega died in the arms of Dr. Wily on February 14 20XX, three days from her daughter's birthday.
End Chapter
Note: Sooo, what do you think? Good/Bad, idiotic...please give an author some fuel…well I'm off to write chapter 2. Ja ne minna!
Disclaimer: I own nothing from the Mega Man series, nodda, zilch, zippo and know nothing about the series. So I'm pretty much winging this. Only thing that is mine are the characters I made up. Siren is a character I also made up (unless there's a reploid named that then it's totally by mistake) THIS IS YAOI/YURI/HET relationships! Also incest. In other words, guys loving guys, girls loving girls, brother-loving brother, guy loves girl…blah blah blah! And no, I'm not making my characters into a Mary Sue, some chapters will be heavily dedicated to one character. Again not to your liking, then please leave. Flames will go straight to all reploids or bots that are in need of them for energy. And yes characters are OCC (out of Character) mainly because I have no idea what they are like. Also Wily is not the big bad nutcase everyone thinks he is. I believe that something must have set him off painfully to steer him in the dark path. Oh and some time traveling and rape mentions. LOTS OF ANGST (In my perspective anyway.) Well enjoy minna.
^w^ Vampy….P.S. If you don't know the meaning to the Japanese words I use ask and I'll try to answer them.
Su-lea Omega sighed, rubbing at her sore eyes. It was well past midnight on a chilly Friday night in October. The transfer from America to Japan was a horrible moving experience for her family. Her husband had flat out refused to come along not even supporting the idea that the job for robot upgrade would provide anything.
1 "Robots are nothing more but worthless pieces of crap. They cause nothing but trouble and you want to waste your time developing them into more human! Woman have you flipped that blonde head of yours!"
Su-lea sighed, dropping back into her chair. Her marriage was on the line she knew but she had no idea what her husband's problem was with robots. She worried even more about leaving their 6-year-old daughter alone with him while she worked. She had notice that Siren withdrawing more and more ever day. Never coming out of her room unless necessary. It was difficulty for the little girl to make friends. She was the only albino in the family, though she was beautiful. Her white frosty hair was past her back, and it easily covered her body when the wind blew it over her shoulders. Her alabaster skin was so delicate that the slightest bruised showed. Siren was the only thing that could keep her sane in this world at the moment. The petit child would always brighten up her day in any way she could; either with a song, a drawing or just being there always seemed to make her feel better. She was such a talented child, but wasted it on staying indoors instead of sharing it with the world.
Shaking her head, Su-lea decided that she had enough work for the night. * Dr. Wily and Dr. Light are expecting me tomorrow afternoon. I'll need as much sleep as I can get. *
With all her belongings in her briefcase, Su-lea Omega headed home.
~~~~~~~~~~~
1.1 SLAP
A small body is hit from above, losing balance on the staircase it falls. A man with short black hair and a face set in a snare watched as the body tumbled onto the polished marble floor, just as the door opened.
Su-lea Omega stared in shock, as her daughter's body lay lifeless on the floor of her new home. Staring up at her, husband, she no longer saw the man she once loved, the man that she grew up with. This person looming at the top of the stairs was a complete stranger, his face full of rage and hate.
"Mama." A weak voice called out to her. Looking down to the body on the floor, she could she see Siren struggling to rise. Dropping her briefcase she knelt on the floor feeling for any damage. A hiss of pain and the child clenched her eyes shut, a small whimpering escaping her mouth.
"Oh god. What the hell did you do!?" Su-lea screamed not taking her eyes off her daughter. Siren was coughing, blood trailing down her chin.
"Pha, lil bitch deserved it. Can't take anything, hides in that room of 'ers like a fuckin' coward. She as useless as that cocky hair brained idea of yours." Her husband slurred, having to clutch at the banister for support, a sure sign that he was once again drunk.
"Mama, go cough…don't let him hurt you bad too. Cough cough!" Siren tried to reach for her mother only to curl up in a ball as the pain became too great. Su-lea pulled off her coat and wrapped it around the trembling body. Carefully, as to not hurt her any more, Su-lea grabbed her briefcase and ran. She could hear the cursing and threats her...no he was no longer her husband.
Gently placing Siren on the passenger's seat, Su-lea had gotten in and locked the car door when a fist smashed at the window. Screaming she reared her head back frightened. He was pounding on the window trying to break the damn thing. Wasting no time she revved up the engine and nearly hit him while speeding away.
* Almost being the word. * Glancing back at Siren, her face became even more worried. There was no sound coming from the bundle and fear began to grip at her heart.
"Siren hon, talk to me. Please, let me now you're alright."
There was silence for a few moments, it had started to rain, the pelting of the drops of water on the car the only noise.
"I'm just a little…bird…and you can …see me fly. I'm just a little bird my love for you can help me fly."
Su-lea breath a sigh of relief, but that was soon crushed. The hospital was too far away and she worried that she wouldn't get Siren there in time. Seeing a road sign, and then glancing back at Siren, Su-lea turned at the next right.
*****
A banging at the door interrupted the two scientist's research. One with fading wild hair, grumbled about late night visitors. The other a kind hearted man also with fading hair and a beard, chuckled at his partner's annoyance.
"Now who in the world would be here at this unlikely hour?" Dr. Thomas Light rubbed at his beard pondering the thought.
"You mean who would be sane enough?" Dr. Wily smiled at his friend. The two laughed while going to the main entrance to take a gander at their visitor.
"Dr. Light, Dr Wily. Are you there? Please answer me." It was a woman's voice but with the wind howling it was hard to tell what she was saying. Dr. Wily rolled his eyes clicking on the vid screen to see their guest.
"Good heavens. Quick Wily, open the door it's Miss Omega." Dr. Light exclaimed. Blinking in surprise Wily turned to look at the screen. A beautiful women with short blonde hair plaster to her face was standing in the rain, out of breath and carrying a small bundle. Wasting no time Wily hit the door button. Wind and rain poured into the building along with a soggy figure that ran to the side to escape the storm. Once inside the doors closed.
Breathing heavily Su-lea dropped to her knees, clutching at the bundle in her arms. Looking up at the two she tried to smile but couldn't.
"I'm…sorry to …bother you, but I need some help. The hospital… was too far away and I thought I wouldn't be able to make it." She rushed out.
The two showed great concern at hearing that. Dr. Wily was at her side looking her over. "Were you caught in the storm?"
"No..no not me my daughter. Please I need your help." Su-lea raised her drenched face up to Wily's. They were so close noses almost touching emerald eyes staring into onyx ones. A cough brought them out of whatever trance they were in. Dr Light looked at the bundle in Su-lea's arms and gasped. A small child of six, with frosty hair and pale skin had a look of pain pinched onto her face. There was also some dried blood caked to her chin.
"Quickly there's no time to waste." Running ahead of them, Dr. Light opened the door motioning the other's to hurry. Dr. Wily helped Su-lea to stand, the poor woman was shaking from the cold or was it fear?
*No time to think about that. The child needs help. * At the lower level of the complex, the two set to work. Su-lea stayed out of the way while the two men worked. She felt helpless, not able to do anything for her daughter. Sitting on a chair Su-lea watched until her eyes closed and sleep claimed her.
A light shaking woke her up. Cracking open an eye she was met with a man with fading hair, and a mustache. Wearing a confused look, Su-lea looked around to see where she was.
"Where?" she asked.
"At our lab. You came here for help for your daughter." The man said.
"SIREN!" About to get up, the man held her down. She glared up at him but he seemed unfazed.
"Do not worry, we were able to get her stabilized. She will be fine in a few days." Su-lea closed her eyes dropping her head on the man's shoulder.
"Thank you, thank you so much." Hugging closely, Wily petted her hair, noticing it was still wet.
"We should get you dried off. You can become ill yourself you don't take some care." Su-lea looked surprised at this. Wily blushed and coughed into his hand. "There is no point in you becoming ill, if you are to work with Dr. Light and myself."
Smiling, Su-lea lay back down on the chair. "Dr. Wily I presume." She should have known, with the germen accent and crazy looking hair.
"Right you are madam, or should I address you as Dr. Omega?" Wily crossed his arms looking at her.
"If you wish, you may." Her smile faltered when she gazed past him looking at the figure through the large glass window. Following her gaze Wily shook his head.
"I'm quiet curious as to how this happened Miss Omega." Wily mentally smacked himself. The woman was obviously tired and worried, and here he was badgering her. Hearing her sigh he looked down seeing her wrap the coat she had covered her daughter in tightly around herself.
"I was coming home from work late last night. When I opened the door she was on the floor. My husband, pushed or hit did something to cause her to fall down the stairs. I thought something was going on, but I was so busy with every thing and when I asked Siren about it she never said anything. I should have known. Any way when I went to the car my husband tried to break the car window. I was scared; I didn't know what to do. I nearly hit him when I drove away. As I said before I didn't think I'd make it to the hospital, so I came here hoping you or Dr. Light would be here. And the rest you know." Walking over to a closet, Wily pulled something out and tossed it to her.
"We can discuss this over some breakfast with Dr. Light. Then we can check up on your daughter. But for know, please change. The bathroom is through that door to your left. There will be someone here to take you to the cafeteria. Don't take to long though, it tends to get busy when the other workers come in." With that done Wily exited to the elevators. Looking at the clothing in her hands, Su-lea smiled and walked up to the window. Her chest constricted when she saw Siren on the large examining table. She looked so tiny; her right arm was in a sling, tubes feeding latching onto her skin as if it were a part of her. Her left leg was in a cast and the right side was already bruising. Shaking her head, she bit at her hand to stifle the tears she so wanted to let loose.
*No, now's not the time to cry. I have to be strong for her, for the both of us. Forgive me Siren; I've been a terrible mother. I'm sorry. * Turning, Su-lea headed for the bathroom.
Later when she returned to the room she fell asleep in a small silver bat- bot was waiting for her.
"Hiya. My name is Batty. I was sent here to guide you around the complex. Our first stop is the cafeteria. Shall we go?"
Nodding Su-lea followed Batty to the elevator. Once inside he flew into the panel and landed on the floor. Scooping him up she checked to see if there was any damage.
"Why on earth did you do that?" she asked perching him on her shoulder.
"I'm not very strong so when I try to push a button I sometimes have to crash into it." Batty replied getting comfortable on her shoulder.
"I see." The rest of the trip was in silence until they reached the cafeteria. There she saw Dr. Light and Dr. Wily in-grossed in conversation. Spotting the new arrivals Dr. Wily motioned them over then took a sip of his drink. Turning around, Dr. Light smiled at the new comers.
"Ah, Miss Omega, how are you this morning?"
"Better, thanks to the both f you. I hope I'm not being to much of a bother." Besides her Wily snorted. Three sets of eyes looked at him.
"You were already going to meet with us today, there is no need for that. This way we can now get down to business."
"Ah, yes. Now Miss Omega, I know this is sudden but I'm afraid we must do something about your husband's actions. HE could have easily killed your daughter if she landed incorrectly. I know you love him…"
Su-lea couldn't help but burst out laughing at that. Both Wily and Light stared at her if she were mad. Wiping at the tears in her eyes, she let her head hang low.
"My marriage has been nothing but a burden recently Dr. Light. My HUSBAND has change since my daughter was born. But last night was the final straw, he nearly killed her, and with my being away from home due to my work he is always home before me when he's done with his. I have no idea what else he could have done to her. I'm frightened to find out. Siren never says anything. She's the world to me and I don't want anything to happen to her. So if that means turning against my husband…then so be it." Nodding to Light, Wily stood up and went to a vid screen by the entrance to the cafeteria. Glancing back at the others Wily shook his head. Light was trying to comfort Su-lea. When the screen popped up, a young robot-officer was waiting.
"How can I help you Dr. Wily?"
Mean while Dr. Light was doing all he could to help out the newest addition of their team. Out of her wet clothing Su-lea was dressed in black slacks, a gray shirt and of course a lab coat.
"Are you sure you will be alright?" Dr. Light asked patting Su-lea on the back. Running a hand threw her hair, she smiled at his concern.
"I'll be fine Dr. Light."
"Very well, I assume you'll be reverting back to your original name then. Now what would that be."
"Actually, I never changed my name when I was married. Omega is my maiden name."
"Oh, I'm sorry I never knew. Well then, I guess that's one thing we don't have to worry about. Well is there anything you would like to do before we start today?" Dr. Light asked handing her a cup of tea.
"I'd like to see my daughter if that's alright." Su-lea asked.
"Of course you can. I should have thought of that in the first place."
"Thought of what in the first place?" a voice in front of them asked.
"Ack!" The three (don't forget Batty) jumped at the voice.
"You are going to give me a heart attack one of these days Wily." Dr. Light chuckled. "What we were discussing is seeing Siren. I'm sure she's awake by now."
"Ah, well then shall we." Back down the hall the group entered the elevators. Already people were coming in for work, greeting the group as they went by. When they entered the room that Siren was in a surprise greeted them inside. Siren was awake and trying to dislodge the needles in her arms. Not so much as a flinch graced her face as she ripped the needle out.
"Siren! You leave that in right now!" Rushing over to her Su-lea wrapped the blanket around the bleeding arm. When Dr. Light tried to touch her left hand, Siren rewarded him with a glare and tried to pull away.
"It's ok honey, he's just trying to help." Su-lea caressed the side of her face that wasn't bruised. Glancing at her mother sideways, Siren frowned. It wasn't until she saw Wily that she focused on him instead of what her mother and Dr. Light were doing. The two stared at each other not blinking once.
"There all done. Now you leave that in lil' miss." Blinking, Siren looked down to her arm, which was wrapped in bandages. Looking up to her mother, then to Dr. Light and finally Wily Siren looked back at her arm.
"Did I do something wrong?" her voice was barely a whisper in the large room.
"Don't worry Siren, you're not in trouble. That has to stay on so you can get better." Su-lea smiled at her.
"I… felt, funny, he always…" Siren quickly clamped her mouth shut looking down at her lap.
"He always what?" Wily asked stepping up behind her to kneel down so he was able to see for more closely. The child was very beautiful despite her age, how someone could harm one so young; Wily shook his head trying to get his thoughts organized.
"Siren?"
Being careful of her arm and leg Siren turned so she was looking at all the adults. Fingering the blanket she took a deep breath and glanced up.
"He would always put the needle in and take it out when the bad stuff was put in me. He said it would make everything feel better, that I wouldn't have to hurt. He didn't want you to know cause he knew you didn't do it anymore. You were too busy or tired to do what he wanted. He said 'Well if you mother won't play with me then why don't we play.' I…was scared. I didn't want him to hurt you."
Su-lea's face was pale as each word felt like a stab to the chest. Her knees buckled and if Wily weren't there to catch her she would have fallen flat on the floor. Wily looked at Light, then at the two newest additions to their team. Su-lea couldn't stop trembling, every part of her body shook. Siren looked away from them clearly confused, thinking she had upset her mother somehow. Reaching out for her, Su-lea grasped the edge of the table. Helping her Wily set her on the table so she could reach for her daughter. Gathering her close, Su-lea clutched at Siren sobbing into her hair.
"I'm so sorry honey, I'm sorry. I should have been there for you. I…please I'm sorry." Su-lea could only repeat those words feeling like the lowest scum of the earth. A light touch on her face brought her out of her shock. Siren was smiling at her wiping at the tears.
"You're my mom, I still love my mama." Yawning Siren laid her head on her mother's shoulder looking at the others in the room. Her gaze lingered on Wily a smile appearing on her bruised face.
"Take care of mama." Wily looked surprise at the little girl, but something about that smile melted his heart. Nodding to each other Siren then closed her eyes going limp in her mother's arms.
"SIREN!!!" Su-lea's scream could be heard all over the complex. Wily and Light rushed over to them, checking on the two. Su-lea was sobbing clutching her daughter to her chest muttering apologizes. Wily checked on Siren trying to find a pulse.
Su-lea could feel her sanity being ripped at its seams. Her daughter, precious child was dead, DEAD and all because of her.
"MISS OMEGA! PLEASE LET GO! SHE'S STILL ALIVE!"
*Still alive. * Blinking up in surprise, Su-lea was face to face with Dr. Light, his face showing great amount of worry and concern. Hands were besides her checking on Siren. Su-lea turned to see Wily, face set in determination, applying something to Siren. Looking up from his work, Wily nodded, then went to help the child.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Su-lea was busy typing up the report she was given by Wily. Face grim, she went about trying to keep her mind focused on upgrading the CPU's for robots. She was thankful for the distraction, even though she should have been with Siren; she felt that she could do more at this time. The plane she was working on was going to be a gift for her daughter incase anything were to ever happen.
*Maybe this way I can redeem myself. You grew up never knowing what a real family was like, but I'll make sure you at least have a chance at happiness. *
"I'll stake my life on it." She muttered.
"Stake your life on what?" a voice asked from behind her.
"Dr.. Dr. Wily. I'm sorry I didn't hear you knock. I was so caught up with my work…"
Waving his hand in the air Wily just stepped to see what she was working on. "Very interesting. The circuitry is quite excellent and the external skeletal structure could use some work. You've come along way yes?"
Blushing Su-lea turned back to her screen. "My mother was a doctor who worked to help people who lost limbs in accidents. My father was an engineer and they both worked together to help people. They developed mechanical body parts for people but never got into creating robots. I was fascinated with the both their occupations and started to put two and two together and boom. Here I am. But to work with you and Dr. Light is an honor, a dream I've always had. To be able to give them life and have them as close to human as possible."
" I'm glad someone shares our dream. Humanity is going nowhere fast; we are fools living in a dream world. We thrive to create, but sometimes it leads to our destruction. Maybe with the creation of a robot with human intentions we will better understand each other." Wily stared at the woman in front of him. Blushing, he coughed into his hand grumbling out an apology.
"That sounds interesting. Maybe …we umm can discuss more about it over something to eat, lunch maybe." Su-lea asked looking down at her hands in her lap.
Wily stared in shock. Was she …asking him, no no, they were just colleges nothing more.
"Lunch it is then. Would you prefer Dr. Light to join us…?"
"Oh...I assume that would be better. I'm still new at this sort of thing. Two experts would be better. Thank you Dr. Wily." Turning around Su-lea began her work once more.
Raising his hand about to protest, Wily let it drop.
"Till tomorrow then Dr. Omega." And with that said Wily showed himself out.
Stopping her typing Su-lea let her head rest on the monitor.
*What's wrong with me? Jack is now in jail and Siren is getting better. This is my dream come true but…I don't know. Dr. Wily and Dr. Light are the best teachers a person can ask for. I was never this nervous around my other supervisors. But whenever he's around. I should talk to Siren soon. She's been so tired and sleeping so much I haven't had a chance to see her. *
Su-lea closed her eyes remember the time the police came to take her to the courtroom. Dr. Light had to be present to be witnesses in the trail. Siren was unable to appear to testify physically but they had placed a monitor in her room so she could still tell her side of the story. Dr. Wily and Batty were keeping her company in case anything happened.
Flashback
"Now Miss Omega, would you please explain what happened on Friday October 19 20XX." The judge asked.
"I was coming home late from work tired. I couldn't help but think something was wrong. When I opened the door to my home, I saw my daughter lying on the floor. My…ex was at the top of the stairs he was a mess. I was shocked at what happened. I dropped my bag and screamed at him what he had done. He clutched at the railing, he was drunk, I knew this because he responded in a slurred voice. He told me she was a …"
"Please Miss Omega, though it is hard, try to say what he said to you that night." The judge smiled down at her patting her hand. Nodding, she looked right at her ex.
"he said that she was a , lil bitch and deserved it. That she can't take anything, hides in her room like a fucking coward. And she was as useless as my cocky hair brained idea." Su-lea felt herself boil when looking at Jack. The hatred she had for him was giving her the courage to face him. She then looked to Siren who looked lost in the discussion. The judge nodded and then looked over to the vid screen.
"Thank you Miss Omega. Now Siren is that your name."
Siren looked up from playing with Batty to stare at the screen. Looking at her mother she turned to look at Jack. Her eyes widen a bit and she lowered her head.
"Yes sir." She whispered. The judge motioned for Wily to proceed. Everyone watched as Wily went to a draw and pulled something out hiding it behind his back.
"Now Siren, look at me hon, is this what was used on you when your mother wasn't home? Look at what Wily's hands." Siren turned to see Wily hold out an empty syringe. Siren cringed at the sight and wrapped her good arm around Batty.
"Hai."
"What did you feel when your father used it?" the judge asked.
"I didn't feel anything. I was tired, and sleepy. I was cold at first but then it felt like when my foot falls asleep."
"That's good Siren. Do you know why he did that to you?"
"Because mama wasn't around." Siren nuzzled Batty.
The courtroom was silent, many pondering what she meant.
Clearing his throat the looked to Jack.
"What pray tell does she mean by that Mr. Reynolds?" the judge glared at the man. "You may take a seat now Miss Omega. Mr. Reynolds, take the stand." As the two passed each other Jack suddenly grabbed Su-lea's neck trying to choke her. It didn't take long for the police to restrain him. Dr. Light was by Su-lea's side in a second helping her up.
"Fucking bitch! I swear you're going to regret this. You and that little brat."
The robot and human officers were able to drag Jack off until order was once again retained.
"Miss Omega, I can assure at this moment that Mr. Reynolds will be the least of your concerns. As far as I am concerned this case is closed. Have a good day. Adjourned."
End Flashback
That was a week ago today. Jack was sentenced to life in prison for child abuse, drug abuse, sexual assault on a minor and the list went on. Looking at the time Su-lea decided her work could wait. Saving her files, she logged out and made her way to Siren's room. Upon entering she was surprised at what she saw. Dr. Light and Wily were talking to Siren. Wily was sitting a the side of the bed while Dr. Light was sitting on the bed showing her a model of a robot.
"And soon they'll be able to feel and act just like real people." Light handed her the model so she could feel the texture of it.
"Feel real, like us. My…he never liked the idea. Said it was a waste of time and that robots are useless except for work."
"What do you think Siren?" Wily asked from his position on the chair. Frowning, Siren turned the model over examining it. Su-lea stared in shock as Siren smiled, the first real smile she had in over a month since moving to Japan.
"Can I name him." She asked.
The two laughed agreeing to her terms.
"So what did you have in mind." Everyone turned to see her standing at the door.
'Umm, Blues. Is that ok?"
"That's a fine name, don't you agree Wily?" Light turned to see Wily rubbing his chin as if he was in thought.
"Blues…I don't see why not. " Siren smiled at them, and hugged Dr. Light. Crawling toward Wily she looked at him unsure. Sliding off the bed she looked up to meet his gaze.
"Arigato." And she then limped over to her mother, who picked her up and were thought to ponder what that was all about.
~~~~~~~~~
It was another month before progress started to speed up. Research was sent to Dr. Light's own home. Dr. Wily and Dr. Omega would meet him there working on the new proto-type. Siren would watch as her mother and Wily talked and acted strangely around each other. Frustrated she went to talk to Dr. Light.
"Dr. Light, may I come in please?" Siren was standing outside his door.
"Oh Siren it's you. Is something wrong?" Dr. Light asked peeking his head out the side of the door.
Shaking her head no she stood looking back at the room her mother and Wily were in, currently working.
"It is about your mother?"
She nodded.
"Come in, come in." Closing the door Dr. Light couldn't help but smile. "What would you like to talk about Siren-chan?"
"Mom and Mr. Wily are acting weird. When they talk sometimes they blush and do weird things."
Dr. Light couldn't help but chuckle. Siren was the only one that called Wily Mr. *Ah, so she has noticed. Those two are dancing around each other for so long. And here I thought I was the only one hat noticed.* "I see and what do you think Siren?"
"I think they like each other, but are scared to say something. Grown up's are so confusing. How come they just say what they want." Siren said crossing her arms looking annoyed and irritated.
Dr. Light couldn't help but laugh .The child was too much at times, she could teach adults lessons. Ah youth.
"Because they're scared and stupid. Adults are like that Siren." Dr. Light ruffled the girl's hair, which he knew really annoyed her.
Mock growling she tried to swat his hand away and clutched onto it. Looking at his hand she held onto it.
"I don't want mom to be alone anymore. I want her to be happy, and I think Mr. Wily likes my mom. I like him too he's nice, and funny with his hair and mustache. You both teach me lots of smart stuff and are nice to my mom."
"Siren, aren't you happy?" Dr. Light asked feeling nervous all of a sudden. She looked up from his hand and placed it on to of her head smiling.
"As long as you, mom and Mr. Wily are happy then I'm happy. Well thanks for talking with me. I'm going to go eat something." Hopping off the table she ran to the door. Turning she bowed to Dr. Light and left.
"But aren't you happy?" Dr. Light repeated to no one.
The days past slowly, Siren kept her watch over her mother and Wily and rolled her eyes as the two still shied away from each other, making up lame excuses. Even the patient Dr. Light was starting to lose his nerve.
"For heaven sakes Wily will you tell her already!"
"What are talking about this time Light? I'm quite busy and…"
"Would you ask Miss Omega out already! It is driving me insane, you two walk around each other like lovesick puppies. And I am not the only one that agrees. I must have discussed this with Siren numerous times during the week. For the love of our sanity just ask her." Wily blinked in surprise at Light. He had never known his friend to lose his control even when frustrated.
Elsewhere…
"Mom, do you like Mr. Wily?" Siren asked not looking at he mother from the comic she was reading. The question took Su-lea by surprise and she nearly cut through the circuit she was working on. Taking off the goggles, she peered at her daughter's direction.
"Why do you ask?"
Behind the comic Siren rolled her eyes. Shrugging she flipped to the next page. "Cause I heard him and Mr. Light talking about you."
"Oh?"
"Yup, said how nice and pretty you are. How come you haven't asked him out yet? Is it cause you know…" Siren let the sentence end there.
"Siren, what brought this on?"
Putting her comic down, Siren glared at her mother. Su-lea felt nervous discussing this with her daughter. It wasn't easy to explain…
"Are you afraid that you love him?" Siren's voice was only whisper in the stillroom.
"Now Siren that's enough! I don't know where you're getting this from but I would prefer if we not talk about this. You're too young to understand." As soon as those words left her mouth she wished she could take them back. One look at Siren's face and it felt like a blow to the face.
"You love him, but you're to stubborn and scared! He likes you and you like him! What's wrong with that? You're sad, I know I hear you crying at night!" Running up to her Siren clung to her mother's black pants. "I don't want you to be sad, I hate it, and it hurts. He's nothing like dad, he'll be better! Please mom, please just try."
Su-lea couldn't tear her eyes away from the scene before her. Kneeling down, she scoped up her trembling child and held her close. Siren wouldn't look her in the face hiding behind her long hair, but Su-lea could see the tears brimming at the corner of her eyes.
"Do you like Dr. Wily Siren-chan?" Su-lea asked soothingly.
"His a funny looking man but he's nice to me. Weird but nice." Siren buried her head in the crook of her mother's shoulder.
"Well then I guess I'm ask him then, ok."
In another room…
"Not one word Light, not one word." Dr. Wily crossed his arms blushing like mad. Dr. Light was smiling smugly at his friend watching the scene play out in his and Siren's favor.
~~~~~~~
In one week things changed dramatically in the home of Dr. Thomas Light. Su- lea and Wily had finally mustard enough guts to go out for dinner. Siren and Dr. Light waved them off as the two left. Siren had picked out the dress her mother would wear. It was a long black clinging evening gown with two slits to show off her fine and smooth legs. Light helped to choose a tux for Wily, traditional black with white shirt. Siren also dropped off a hint to Wily of her mother's favorite flowers (Lily).
Dr. Light was busy in his lab designing more proto-types but was stuck on names for them. Loud music blasted from the upstairs room, startling him.
'I love Rock & Roll, so put another dime in the jukebox Baby.
I love Rock & Roll so come and dance with me.'
*Hmm, Rock…Roll...yes yes those would do nicely. Siren you might have very unique taste in music but you always seem to pull through. * With that Dr. Light saved his data and powered everything down for the night.
Su-lea had the time of her life. First the dinner and then Wily had taken her to the opera. On the way home the two discussed more on the production of the proto-type. Entering the house the two had to sneak around so they wouldn't wake anyone up.
"Thank you for a wonderful time Dr. Wily."
"Yes, well the evening was quite enjoyable with you tonight my dear. We really must do this again, if we have the time." Wily stared shyly at Su- lea, blushing.
"Yes, we really should. Goodnight." Leaning toward him, Su-lea gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and walked into her room. Wily stood there, shocked. He placed a trembling hand on the spot she kissed. In a daze, Wily walked to his room to retire for the night.
~~~~~~
Days turned to week as the process of the upgrade continued. Frustration levels grew and love bloomed. Siren's birthday was coming up and the three adults had a very big surprise for her. It was snowing outside, Siren was in her winter wear, building a snow angel with Dr. Light's help. Su-lea was in town shopping for food. Dr. Wily was inside making drinks. The door opened and two very drench individuals ran inside.
"It is freezing outside!"
Wily turned to look at the two and burst out laughing.
"And just what is so amusing Wily?" Dr. Light asked. A pulling at his pants leg made him look down. Siren smiled and crossed her eyes… Looking in a mirror Dr. Light couldn't help but laugh.
"Maybe you should have been Santa Clause at the Christmas Party." Wily said between laughs. Siren watched the two smiling. Just then the vid screen blinked.
"I'll get it." Siren rushed over to the vid screen while Wily and Light got their laughter under control.
"So hehe, Wily when will you ah, ask her?" Dr. Light rubbed at his sides, the laughter almost too much for him. Sighing he flopped down on the chair at the table. Wily handed him a cup of coco and settled down opposite of Light. Taking out a box from his lab coat pocket, he fingered the lining of the small velvety box.
"Today, I'm going to ask her today. You will be there won't you?" Wily glanced `at Light then down at the box again.
"Oh course I will, we have been through everything together old friend."
"Mr. Wily, Mr. Light!" Siren rushed toward the two almost sliding past them. "There's big trouble in town. That was mom, there's some huge fighting going on and people are getting hurt." Siren heaved from rushing out all the words.
"What!" Wily turned on the television and sure enough there was a reporter talking about the battle.
"Rival gangs are been causing trouble since last month but nothing as this. Already we have 3 people that have been shot and 1 robot shot dead. Police have asked civilians to stay indoors where ever they are in the area. More news to come."
Siren looked at Wily then at Dr. Light. Both were silent, but Siren could see Wily clutching his fists under the table.
"Is mom going to be ok?" Wily looked at Siren face confused. Dr. Light couldn't look at her, she looked so lost and small as if her world was shattered once more.
"Oh course she will. We'll go and see." Walking over to his coat, Wily motioned for them to follow.
"Most likely they won't allows too close but we'll try." Dr. Light took the keys from the hook and they headed for the garage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The area was in shambles: windows cracked like spider webs from the bullets or other weapons used. People cowered in shops and watched from their offices. Shots could be heard echoing in the snow covered streets. No one dared to interfere the bickering of the two gangs. Police couldn't even get close enough due to the shower of arsenal.
Siren was waiting in the car as Wily and Light talked to the security officer robot halting their movement.
"I'm sorry but there is no access to this area, it's off limits. Please return home it's safer there."
Siren was getting tired from waiting in the car. Something crawled around inside her shirt, made her pause in her watching of the adults. Pulling her shirt away from her neck, Batty poked his head out.
"It's stuffy in there. What's going on? Are we there yet?" Batty whined climbing out of Siren's shirt and perching upside down on her shoulder.
"When mom went shopping these gangs started to fight every one has to stay inside. We're going to see if we can get mom."
"You're…nuts." Batty poked his head out from his wings then slipped it back inside. Siren shrugged and looked out the window. Seeing everyone was busy talking, Siren slipped out and made her way toward the shops. Peering in through the windows Siren stopped as she saw her mother in Mrs. Takeshi's bakery. Tapping on the window her mother and an old lady ducked behind the counter. Cautiously they peered over the edge of the counter. Siren could see her mother's shocked face and ran to the door. Opening it she grabbed Siren and dragged her inside to safety.
"Siren what are you doing here! It's dangerous, how did you get here?" Her mother glared at her.
"Now deary, let the girl answer before you hack her head off. It's good to see you again Siren-chan." Mrs. Takeshi was one of the nicest people the Omega's new since they had moved. Siren loved the black haired woman. She kept her hair tied to a bun, a few strands falling in front of her face. She lost her husband and daughter to an earthquake and the shop was all that was left in her family's name. She was a petit women average size and as gentle as the breeze.
"Mr. Wily and Mr. Light brought me. It's not their fault; I snuck out while they were talking to a police bot. They don't know I'm gone."
"Not yet anyway." Batty poked his head out from his wings. Siren bopped him on the head for that comment.
"You still shouldn't have come Siren. What if you were killed?" Su-lea was scared and thankful at the same time.
"You can have more kids, but you're the only mom I have. And you and Mr. Wily love each other. You shouldn't die." Siren said seriously grabbing onto her mother's hand.
"Si…Siren." Su-lea didn't know how she should react to that. Instead she hugged her daughter tightly. "We'll both live and be a family ok, a big happy family."
"Promise." The childlike voice sounded so unlike Siren and Su-lea had to look at her to make sure everything was alright.
"Hai, I promise."
All of a sudden an explosion rocked the shop, toppling racks and lights. The glass shattered spilling everywhere in the shop. The three huddled together trying to escape the glass shower. Siren stole a glance from beneath her mother's arms. To the side she spotted a door, hoping it lead somewhere.
"Mom, what about that door." Su-lea looked to where Siren was motioning and spotted the backdoor. Sparing a glance at the other woman she nodded and the two made their way to the door. Every now and then they had to stop as blasts of plasma shot into the shop. Finally able to reach the door, Su-lea let Siren and Mrs. Takeshi out first and then followed. Leaning against the door, they waited until the shooting stopped to speak.
"Siren, how far away are Dr. Wily and Dr. Light."
"Umm, only took me…10 minutes." Siren stood up and ran to the end of the alley. Taking a peek she turned to the others and winked.
"Come on. Maybe if we're lucky we can make it." Getting up they made their way to where Siren was. With the snow and rubble it was quite easy for them to get by the gang members that they saw. At times they were forced to hide behind a toppled car or a piece of a broken building. Siren was watching the lasers and bullets like it was magic. That is until some one slammed against her hiding spot. It was a robot, tall and lanky, wearing a black suit and tie; a business-bot. Looking down at him Siren could only stare. A dark red substance was covering his brown hair and dark rounded face, seeping onto the white covered ground. Soon the snow was mush and the light from the bot's eyes were lifeless.
Siren reached out to touch the substance, pulling it back to get a closer look. She knew what it was wanted to be sure. A scream echoed in the streets, startling her as she placed her hands over her to shelter her, another victim laid to rest. At the touch of the cold and sticky substance she looked down at her self. The blood from the dead business-bot had soaked even closer to her. It seeped into her windbreaker pants and she could feel it numbing her. Looking at her hands she noticed the blood starting to run down and slowly dry up. She didn't know how long she stayed that way. She felt someone shaking her, calling her name. A cold chill ran down her spine and she almost fainted.
"Siren! Siren! Answer me, Siren!" Su-lea whispered to her fiercely. She nearly had a heart attack when she couldn't find Siren's hiding place. When she saw a black speck kneeling in the snow behind some rubble she thanked her lucky stars. But the relief was soon changed to fear as she saw the red staining the ground. Reaching her Su-lea was shocked to see blood smeared on Siren's face and hands. Looking for any injuries it was Mrs. Takeshi that pointed out the dead body to her.
"The poor thing must be in shock." Mrs. Takeshi shook her head sadly.
"Siren! Siren! Answer me, Siren!"
"I'm cold." Siren looked up to her mother eyes blank. "I'm so cold mama." Su-lea crushed Siren's motionless body to her own.
"It's ok sweetheart, every things ok. I'm here, I'm here."
After a moment Siren moved, she looked around in confusion as if wondering where she was. Looking at the arms around her she smiled up at her mother.
"Hi." Siren smiled at the two.
Choking back the sob, Su-lea smiled at her. "Hi. You ready to go." Nodding, Siren squirmed out of her mothers hold and led them to Dr. Light and Dr. Wily.
"Mommy, my clothes are all sticky." Siren frowned at touching her windbreakers.
"We'll clean them up when we get home." A few more blocks and the three could see the police tape cutting off access to the area. More blasts could be heard further in the city, but the group could care less about that. Su- lea could already see Dr. Wily and Dr. Light the two stuck out like sore thumbs in the crowd.
Running along the side of the building to escape being noticed Siren ran ahead of them.
"I can't believe she snuck out of the car, if any thing happens to her I'll never forgive myself." Dr. Wily chewed at his nails with worry about Su-lea and Siren.
"I should have stayed in the car with her, I'm sorry Wily…"
"Don't blame you're self Light, no use putting the blame on…Siren! Look it's her and Su-lea." Wily dragged Dr. Light over to where he could see them and another women with them.
Siren waved to them and ran out from where she was to greet them. Wily and Light ducked under the police tape just as Siren reached them. Giggling she rushed at Wily hugging him. Picking her up Wily twirled her around thanking and scolding her for worrying him. Su-lea and Mrs. Takeshi slowly made their way to the group, exhausted by the day's events.
"Wily!" Su-lea couldn't help the urge to run to him. She saw Siren whisper to him secretively and he blushed. Pulling a small box out of his pocket he showed it to Siren who smiled and turned shining eyes at her. Su-lea felt her heart fill with joy at the expression on Siren's face. Stopping short she looked at the two, her hand going to her mouth. Turning the box toward Su-lea Wily displayed a ring; a blue sapphire, surrounded by smaller diamonds, nestled in a white cushion…an engagement ring. She could hear the surprised gasp escape from Mrs. Takeshi who was a few feet to her left. Tears streaming down her face, Su-lea nodded. Taking her hand down she mouthed yes before running towards her future.
Siren smiled at the way her life was going, a new family, a real family and her mother would be happy. Looking back at her mother, fear gripped at her.
"Look out!!!!"
But alas it was too late. Su-lea was about to look back when pain filled her. The whole area seemed to grow still and gray. A plasma blast forced Su- lea to the ground, drenching the street with blood. Mrs. Takeshi took one look at her good friend and fainted on the spot. Wily and Light both gasped as their college dropped to the ground along with the ring completely forgotten. Siren saw movement behind a building purple metal shining from the afternoon sun, a mask and some sort of blaster on the person's arm. Not caring about that at the moment, she let go of Wily and ran to her mother's side.
"Mama, mama! Please, mama!' Siren didn't know what she was asking of her mother but she knew something wasn't right.
"Si…ren…be str..ong…" Su-lea coughed, blood escaping her mouth, but still she smiled.
"Su-lea!" Wily was at her side, clutching her hand. For once in his life he was speechless, everything making no sense.
"Wi..ly…I…love you, you… were the best thing….that mm..has ever happened to Siren and me. Where…where's the ring?" Su-lea asked trying to show her emotion for the man who stole her heart.
"Here Wily, you dropped it back there." Dr. Light handed the ring to Wily with shaky hands dropping to his knees. Thanking him, Su-lea moved so she could get her left hand out from underneath her body. Hands trembling Wily slid the ring on, fitting perfectly on Su-lea's ring finger. Gazing at the ring, Su-lea turned tear stricken eyes at Wily.
"I am honored even in death to be your wife." Not caring about her injuries, Su-lea reached out to wrap her arms around Wily's neck. Leaning against his forehead she closed her eyes as their lips met.
Wily couldn't believe that this was all happening. The woman of his dreams, other half of his soul was dying. He could feel her body grow cold in his arms. Breaking the kiss he looked into eyes that were once full of life now beginning to fade.
"I love you Su-lea, I love you." Wily whispered to her, trying to hold onto the moment as long as he could.
"Take…care of Siren for me please. I don't want her to be alone anymore. I love you both more then life itself. Take care of each other, live for me."
"M…Mama? You can't leave, you promised you wouldn't!" Siren screamed clutching at the two, tears running down her face. "You lied, you li…"
"Shhh, I'm sorry, but Siren. Know that I will always be watching over you. You'll never be alone. I'll always be with you…all." With her final breath, Su-lea Omega died in the arms of Dr. Wily on February 14 20XX, three days from her daughter's birthday.
End Chapter
Note: Sooo, what do you think? Good/Bad, idiotic...please give an author some fuel…well I'm off to write chapter 2. Ja ne minna!
