Cry Little sister

Chapter 10

Helpless

Dane sat on the upstairs bed waiting for Danny to wake up. She had finally fallen asleep. Her worry for her friend and the motion sickness from the ride to the city had her throwing up whatever she ate. So he borrowed the kitchen for a moment and made her some broth. It wasn't much, but she was able to keep it down for a little while. He lay down on the bed next to her looking up at the little trinkets on the ceiling.

Apparently while Midnight's creator was sick he stayed up in the loft. She would look after him until he died. She didn't care much about her father. He was abusive to her in many ways. It caused her to close up, and it took Archie a long time to get her to come out of her shell.

Although the result was slightly adorable, and heart breaking. Midnight loved Archie with everything she was. Yet Archie didn't believe in love, so that love wasn't reciprocated. So Midnight had slowly begun to close up again. Believing just what Archie had said. 'Nindroids, who the hell wants one of them.'

Dane raised his hand over his head and closed his eyes. When he opened them the suns rays hit perfectly on his fingers. He smiled and placed his arm behind his head. This was gorgeous.

He heard something hit the side of the building. Uh oh...was someone mad? Were they trying to break in? This was a bar after all.

"Dane?" Danny looked around sleepily.

'We have to get her out of here.' Zane said he wanted Dane to pick up Danny.

'This room is pretty safe. We had a hard time finding it.' Dareth said watching as Dane picked up his sister holding her close to him.

"Yeah, but it's better safe than sorry." Dane said walking over to the window to go out the fire escape.

"I know you're here somewhere droid! Bring that woman down here! I know you gotta obey orders. I'll give you the count of ten." Dane pushed Danny out the fire escape She gasped when she heard it. The click of the guns, and the bullets going through the floorboards. Dane cried out several of the bullets hitting his metal underside, but there were tender pieces on his back where her brother's skin sat. Danny tried to go to him. She felt every bit of the pain he did. Dane jumped forward slamming the window closed.

"Run..." He cried out through the pain.

Danny shook her head. She didn't want to leave him, but she knew it was the only way she could get him some help. She turned around and ran down the empty back alley. The small oxygen tanks clinked together as she did.

Archie sighed looking down at his hands. He wasn't much of a man, although he considered himself a gentleman. He knew Midnight loved him, but he was figuring she wouldn't for much longer, so shielding himself from the heartbreak he just pulled away. He looked up at her as she had her arm fixed. He knew he made her feel empty. After Spencer was done she sat down and sighed pulling out a cigarette. Poor old woman was showing her age. She exhaled the smoke and shook her head.

"She's old...I donno how much she's going to take Archie. I think she's beginning to ease up." She pulled out a small envelope and held it out to Archie.

"I donno which one it is. I put one in one envelope and another in the other. But when I went to talk to your creator I'm afraid he was fading. He said his memory was going. With the last bit of cognitivity he told me to give one to you, and the other to Dareth. One is Favrile, the other is Plexi. Although...I think your more like Plexi, and Dareths more like Favrile." She sat back and sighed. "Worked on projects with him in the past." She blew smoke out again and cleared her throat throwing it into the tray.

"So dads...gone?" Archie asked. Spencer looked at him squarely.

"Yeah."

Archie stood up throwing the envelope to the floor and walked toward the door.

"Good riddance."
