Summary: This is an AU for the episode "The man from the edge of Tomorrow Part 2". What if they didn't find Phantom girl when they came back to the 31st century and what if when they did she was in a worst condition then in the show.
AN: First thing a I want to say is that I am putting my OC's in here, I know that they aren't in the show but what I am writing about wasn't in the show either so live with it. Also I hope everyone likes this story and my others so R&R, now on with the show.
Chapter 2: How could I have let this happen
It has been two hours since Timberwolf and Chameleon boy returned with Phantom girl. She was currently in the med bay being treated by Brainiac 5, Shrinking Violet, Aqua lass, and Black rose. She has been unconscious the entire time, but Black rose just put a sleeping sleep on her so she would be asleep while being patched up. Everyone one was worried about her but the one who was the most was Timberwolf. Currently he was in his room, destroying everything in sight.
The reason for this tantrum was that he was mad at himself.
Brin was mad at himself for multiple reasons. For one not noticing that Phantom girl was missing sooner, for taking so long to find her, for taking so long to get her back to the cruiser because the more time wasted the less chance of her surviving, for not knowing that she was so close by when they came back from the 41st century.
Also, he considered her being hurt being his fault.
Because if he hadn't gone to the 41st he would have been their for the attack and made sure that she wasn't hurt or not as hurt. The others may tell him other wise, but he can't help but feel that it is his fault. The more and more he thought about it, the more and more he blamed himself. He couldn't help but think that if he stayed that things would be better.
He continued to destroy his room really just caught up in his thoughts storming around. He then heard his door opening and threw the closest thing to him at it which happened to be a picture frame. He then heard someone say "Gah," and turned to the door.
He saw that Cham step into the line of sight again, probably from dodging the picture frame. He was holding Michelle who was in purple t-shirt and turquoise fuzzy pajama pants with bare feet. and her little barrette was purple. Hex was just hovering above Michelle's head and lowered himself a bit as Cham set down the small child.
"You okay T?" Cham asked worry traced across his face and the little tykes as well.
"Yeah, sorta, no." Timberwolf said taking a seat on his bed resting his elbows on his knees and put his head in his hands. The trio came into the room and stood two feet in front of him stepping around his disheveled room with hex just flying a foot above Michelle.
"Wanna tell us what's wrong Kong." Michelle said sweetly but this comment earned her a death glare from Brin.
"Ugh, what are you guys doing here?" He countered annoyed by the four year old.
"Rokk and Venus wanted us to check on you." Cham informed.
"Yeah, Mr. Pompous because you're making a bunch of racket, and my cous because she could feel all of your sad and negative emotions from the med bay, and that's on the other side of the cruiser!" Michelle exclaimed pointing behind her.
"Well, I'm apprehensive okay." Timberwolf responded stressed taking his head out of his hands and rested his arms on him knees and hung his head low.
"It is okay T, we get it." Cham said trying to ease some of the tension in the air.
"Yeah, what's apprehensive?" Michelle asked tilting her head and Brin glared at her.
"It means nervous." Timberwolf told annoyed.
"Oh, why are you nervous?" Michelle asked keeping her head tilt but raising her head just a bit.
"Why am I nervous?" Timberwolf repeated in disbelief standing up making the little girl take a step back, slightly terrified. "Well let me think, Tinya the girl I like a lot has been hurt severely, most likely in a lot of pain and may even die and it's all my fault! That is why I am apprehensive!"
At the end of his rant, Brin was panting heavily. Michelle and Cham's eyes were wide at what he said and the sheer volume of it, and they will admit that it was kinda scary.
"T, it's not your fault, their is nothing you could have done, what's happen has happen." Cham said hoping it would help but by the angry growl from his lupine friend, it hadn't.
"And you know that you just admitted that you have a crush on Phantom girl right?" Michelle asked raising a brow and when Brin's face turned to a look of shock, she had her answer and smirked at this.
"Just be glad be glad Merliah didn't hear that." Cham added trying to lighten the mood.
"I didn't hear what?" Came said persons voice and the all turned to see her standing their hand on hip while the other held the picture frame that was thrown earlier.
"Nothing, what's the picture of?" Michelle asked changing the subject. Merliah then lifted the frame and looked at it and a smirked came to her face and a short chuckle escaped her throat.
"Well, what we have, here is a picture of Mr. Londo and Ms. Wazzo." Merliah told walking over and handed the frame to Brin. He looked at the picture and a smile came to his face.
In the picture, he was sitting on the couch in the sitting bay with a slight smile upon his face. Tinya was standing behind him and the couch, bent over hugging him around the neck and he had his hands on her wrists and she was smiling very brightly.
"Mind explaining that picture." Merliah interrupted his thoughts and he glared at her but took a seat back down on the bed continuing to look at the picture and started to explain.
"Well, Venus just got a new camera and asked if she could take a picture of us to see if it still worked. She had us pose like this and turned out the camera did work and she took to photos of this and gave us each one." He explained bringing a hand to the photo and focusing intensely on Phantom girl and how beautiful she looked.
A knock then came from the door and they all turned once more, this time to see Venus standing their, hugging a clipboard to her chest and had a nervous look on her face. Brin stood up hoping for good news and didn't ask because he knew Venus could sense that that is what he wanted to know and the reason she came. She walked over to stand side by side to the others in front of the others, lowering the clip board but clutching it like her life depended on it.
"Um Brin, you might want to sit down for this." Venus started, tucking hair behind her ear as Brin sat down fear evident on his face about what the green girl would say Tinya's condition was.
"Good news, Tinya is still alive, but bad news were not sure if she is gonna stay alive." This made everyone's eyes go wide and Brin stood up and shouted: "WHAT!?'
"Please sit down while I give you the rest of the results, please?" Venus begged and Brin complied but wasn't very happy about it.
"Well, she lost a lot of blood, a bad hit to the head, damage to her vocal chords, some broken rips, a fractured ankle, as any one could see multiple cuts, and scrapes, she also has some more injuries but, um, I kinda don't wanna list them. You can see her in a bit but um, Merliah can you come with me for a sec?"
"Sure." And with that both teen girls left the room to head to the med bay. V could feel Merliah's uneasiness and Merliah could tell that Venus was hiding something.
"Okay V, spill, what's wrong?" Merliah asked crossing her arms as they walked.
"Well, it's just that, well their is a good chance that Tinya is gonna live through this but, she may not be as strong as she was before." Venus said. Merliah let out a sigh and thought for a second.
"Okay, we can't let Timberwolf know about this."
"Okay, okay, we can do that."
"Alright it's agreed, we keep this info on the DL." Merliah said and V nodded feeling guilty about this a bit. Hoping that both of her friends would be fine in different ways.
