Major Disclaimer: This chapter is writen by Alias the Phantom, not me! I would have written more ^^v
"Well, well, well." Ice chuckled to herself. "Look who came! Mister Not-Abandoned-at-Birth Silver the Hedgehog." She then looked at the small dog-lizard thing standing next to her. "What do you think Trouble? It looks like he's got himself a girlfriend!"
Trouble barked in a way that suggested scornful laughter. Ice wavered for a second; she heard in the back of her mind a gunshot and a voice. It was rather indistinct... a name... Maria? She was silent for one second, two seconds, and then she was back to taunting Silver.
"So who's this?" She asked, indicating Leaf. "I didn't think you'd find someone... I thought they'd all run away. Run far away, so far away that you'd never have anyone. Then maybe you'd know how it feels."
Ice reached out to Silver's mind and projected a dark image. Her at age 6, alone in Crisis City, before the timeline was corrected... She was alone because of her powers, the same powers she was using to levitate rocks. She allowed herself a smirk when Silver's mind gave off a small spark of worry.
Silver was obviously trying to make himself look a little less uncomfortable in front of his hostile relative. Secret walked over and fixed Ice with her silver-white glare.
"What is the meaning of all this?" She snapped. "I specifically arranged this to stop hostility between you two."
"I'm only hostile for one reason," Ice growled, then pointed at Silver in an accusing way. "HE has somewhat of a family!"
Silent tears were now streaming down Ice's face as she turned and stalked away to the squid-like alien, which she slapped down to the floor before meeting up with Fusion near the food. Fusion put his hand on Ice's shoulder, a major display of comfort and affection for him. Trouble followed Ice, growling when she passed Leaf.
"I really don't know what to do with that girl." Secret muttered to herself, she turned and looked at Silver and Leaf. "Okay, who's ready to meet Fusion?"
