Hello people! It's Knight, back with chapter twenty one of The Last Power Source! Let's jump in! I don't own anything but my OCs and the story around them. Enjoy!

"Now if you're still watching, you're not so stupid to go charging off to their obvious location, congrats. Anyway, I have a trade to offer you. Ame in exchange for their freedom. You know where to find us, come whenever you're ready."

I was still trying to process what was going on when Bruce busted in from the kitchen. He turned his head toward me with frantic eyes. "You're not going," he said taking me off guard for a second. "Of course I am," I said quickly, lifting myself from the couch, and then falling back down from light headed-ness. "No, you're not. You're sick and have a cast, and this is obviously a trap!" Bruce walked over it kneel next to my on the couch. "Listen Ame, to go charging off is not the best idea, and as much as I hate to say it, Brick was right about the rushing off."

"Well, I can't just sit here while they're in danger! They want me in exchange for five people. I would never put myself above them, not after they so easily accepted me!" I was yelling now, so much built up angry towards the RowdyRuff boys was being released on Bruce. I hated that this was my choice, "how can you not want to save them."

"It's not that I don't want to save them," Bruce said softly, giving me a surprise hug. "It's just that, I don't want you to get hurt." I could only feel one emotion coming off of Bruce at that moment.

Love

Bruce's POV

I don't know why I decided to hug her. I don't know why I decided to say that. I don't know why I loved her so much.

I had only met her least then a week ago. Why was I so attached? I didn't what to see her get hurt, I wanted to protect her. Maybe it's because she was the first to tell me the truth. The one who saved me from becoming evil, like my brothers. The one who gave me a place to stay, or the one who talked the professor into letting me go school.

So I hugged her, the girl I didn't want to see get hurt ever again. This broken arm and burned wrists would be the last injury she would sustain if I had anything to do with it!

Ame seemed to stiffen in my arms as the hug when on, like she had just processed what happened. Though slowly she hugged me back. We stayed like for a while until I pulled back to look her in the face. She had a large blush contented her face.

"I won't be able to stop you from going, but I will not stand by and let you turn yourself in. If you go, we go to fight, and to return with seven people, not six, okay." I looked her intensely in the eyes. She vision seemed to slip off to the side, staring at the air around me. I wondered what she was doing for a second until I recalled she could read emotions through air.

Fish sticks, I though as I felt my face heated up. Her attention snapped back to me, and then she blushed too. "We'll talk later," she mumbled quickly, "as for the charging into battle thing, I'm in."

*chuckles* Those crazy kids, anyway hope you enjoyed, I know it's short but it seemed like a good stopping place. Please tell me if there are any mistakes and Miru Kimi Wa! Have a nice day!
