When the lift reached the hallway to the escape pod, Eleanor ran for it, subject Delta followed close behind.
"Goodbye, subject Delta."
Delta heard Lamb's hatred-filled voice on his radio. Delta turned the corner to see his daughter almost run into a barrel of explosives, one of many in fact. Eleanor turned to her father who was doing his best to stop himself, his gigantic boots making skid marks on the metal floor. Eleanor turned to him and reached out for him, she just wanted to feel his hand in hers once more, sadness covered her helmeted face as she heard the final tick of the timer.
Suddenly the teleport plasmid automatically teleported her away, her expression changed into an odd mixture of pure rage and depression. She had just gotten her father and he was immediately taken away from her. Why was it always him anyway? He'd been so kind, not just to her but to everyone that wasn't spliced out of their god damn minds!
Her thought process was cut short however, when she realised that her father had sunkfurther down the ocean trench.
"There's no way I'm going to just leave him, I will NOT just stand by while he dies again."
Eleanor teleported next to her father, swam under him and began to push him up. he was heavy, heavy enough to break a brute splicer's bones, but thanks to the extra strength that the big sister suit had given her, she was able to get him back into the city. Eleanor took her father to a safe place, that wasn't flooded. They were almost crushed from being exposed to the intense pressure of the trench for so long, but they made it.
Delta woke up in a dimly lit room. He looked around for his child, however he did not find her, he let out a low growl that was recognisable from an Alpha series in particular. He got up as quick as he could, he began to scan to his surroundings. The room was small, with a lone door directly in front of him, there was also a few little candles on a desk at the the back of the room.
Delta tried to open the door but the dirt on his visor and the darkness of the room all helped to prevent him finding the doorknob. When he finally found it, he tried opening it but it refused to open, he took his hand off it and backed away for a brief moment before drill-charging at it. The door burst open and Delta walked through it, feeling satisfied with his strength partially returning.
Delta found himself in Pauper's Drop, the residence of Grace Holloway who he had refused to kill despite her attempts on his own life during his journey through rapture to save Eleanor. While he looked around checking for splicers, he felt something gently tug on his left hand. He quickly turned his attention to whatever was tugging on his hand. "Daddy!" A little sister had found her way to him. He crouched down and let out a small groan of curiosity. "We saved you daddy!" she giggled. Delta picked her up and gently placed her on his shoulder.
"That way Daddy!" The little sister pointed in the direction of the Sinclair Deluxe. Delta followed her directions, hoping it would lead him back to Eleanor. The silent halls were extremely unsettling, Delta was used to hearing screaming, crying and even whispering but was definitely not used to complete silence. As he trod through the corpses he left behind from his last visit. He continued up the building, remaining weary of traps that may have been left behind from splicers.
When they reached Grace's apartment, Delta remembered the secret passage and proceeded to Grace's safe room. He was met with a surprise when he entered the room however, when he entered the room, no one was there. The little sister slowly got herself off of Delta's shoulder and walked around the room. "Where's Auntie!" She said with a frown on her small face.
Finally, I've been thinking of overhauling this story for ages but never got to it. I'll hopefully overhaul all the other chapters and finally continue this story again. So be excited for that I guess. Also if there are any suggestions you have about what I could do to make this chapter better or any criticisms you have, I'm all ears and I won't block you on twitter... Probably.
