A/N: I Glittery Excuse for a Fae am back! I am dipping into the wonderful fandom of Tin Man and I hope all of you that have me faved on your author subscription list will give this story more than a passing glance when it hops via a notification email into your inbox, plot bunnies are a horrible thing when they strike and this one did right in the middle of chapter ten of NaB (shameless pimping there!)
Anyway onto the…..
Disclaimer: I do not own Tin man the Miniseries, I do however own a copy of the DVD neither do I own Frank L Baum's books (nope sadly I don't!) so I am writing this for my won enjoyment and to prove that I can write for Tin Man so please don't sue me!
Dedication: To Hogaboom! Yes you hiding in the corner! I miss you and want you to come live over here with me! Please say yes?
Glitch walked around Ambrose's lab, he should feel at home here, after all this had been where he had spent most of his time.
He didn't feel at home however.
He picked up a few rusted pieces of metal from the floor and racked his diminished brain trying to think of what these had belonged to
"Daddy, you promised!"
"I know but it's not done yet, have patience please!" he said sighing
The little girl pouted and he picked her up spinning her round and round before setting her back on her feet, her laughter echoing in the Spartan room
"Will it be finished by the weekend, you promised you were coming home at the weekend, Mum is baking like crazy"
He looked at the little girl, his daughter, and smiled "Course it will be finished by the weekend."
"You said that last weekend" the little girl pouted.
"I did yes but I had a commission from the queen that needed my attention, this week I am free to do what I please"
"So it will be finished, you promise, promise?"
"Yes, now scram" he said with a small grin pushing his daughter out of his lab
"Can I not stay and watch?"
"No, it's a surprise!"
"Its not finished yet, I bet you haven't even started it yet!"
He rolled his eyes at her and said "Go home before your mother wonders where you are"
"Promise, promise you'll be home at the weekend?"
"Yes Lidia I promise, promise now go on, home!"
"Love you Dad"
"Love you to now scoot!"
The girl grinned and ran down the hallway narrowly missing colliding with a guard who was coming the other way.
"Hey Glitch, how's it going? Anything going on with regards to memories?" DG walked into the lab and took a look at ruined lab
"Lidia?"
"No Glitch, it's me DG, who's Lidia?"
"What…? oh sorry Deej, who's who?"
"Lidia, you just said Lidia, who is she?"
"No idea, sorry"
"Oh, well I'm sure you'll remember."
"No, I mean yes I'm sure I will but its just soo frustrating, I can't even remember the last thing I was making, or why I was making it, but the pieces of whatever it was are scattered all around this place I just…" he broke off sighing
"Hey, you must have photos right, either in your rooms or in here somewhere, that's what they do on the other side with patients with Amnesia, they get some photos of the person's life and sometimes that helps spark a memory."
"I don't even know if I took photos, if I was the type that took photos"
DG sighed and grabbed him by the arm. "And here I was thinking that Mr Cain was the pessimistic one!"
"What… Where are we going?"
"To go and have a talk with your better half!"
"No Deej, please lets not Raw has enough going on in his life at the moment without me asking if I can have a quick natter with Ambrose."
"You need to have a 'natter' as you put it with Ambrose, or better still do something to help the alchemists that are trying to get your brain put back where it belongs"
"I don't like Him DG"
That stopped the princess in her tracks.
"What do you mean you don't like him? He is you"
"No he is not, he's boring, He's everything I'm not DG, he's proper, he's the type that knows which fork you use for fish, and which for dessert, I don't, I say the wrong things at the wrong time… I forget what I'm saying half the time, he would never do that, he's been brought up to be proper and its scary, I don't want to go back to being that"
"Oh Glitch" DG sighed, bundling him up in to a hug. Just a few days ago she could have sworn that he was happy about the fact that they may be able to get his brain put back where it belonged, now however it was a whole different kettle of fish.
The young princess rubbed his back comfortingly.
"Maybe you and Ambrose could find a happy medium" she suggested
He snorted and then said "Why was I crying?"
"You don't remember?"
He shook his head and grinned at her "come on Doll, let's go and see the medico's about what they can do for my noggin"
DG sighed and nodded, taking Glitch's hand and walking to the medical wing of the palace.
That evening as Glitch lay in his bed inside the palace walls he thought that the room should feel more homely. He got up and looked round the room there was nothing that felt like home, He bent down and looked under the bed, there was a rug under the bed that shouldn't have been there, what use was a rug under a bed? Unless…
The word Trapdoor came to mind. And he ran out of the room and down the hallway to Wyatt Cain's room, hoping that he could help move the bed, who knew what Ambrose had decided to hide away in the secret hiding place, more blueprints, something of a more personal nature.
He was about to find out.
