We had only been waiting thirty minutes, when I felt the air shift, "sable what's going on? " pepper asked as she shivered
"you know how the air feels when I teleport. " I started to say as she nodded.
"but it doesn't feel this oppressive. "she said just as a rip in space and time appeared.
It started out as only a slash on the wall, then it grew to the height of an average monster.
"that's because sable is only opening a small rip when she teleports. " gaster said as he and the other's walked out of the rip.
"um.. What? "Steve asked
Gaster was about to explain again, when I interrupted him, "dad Steve is originally from the forties, I'll explain it OK. "
"that is fine sable. " he replied as tony chuckled thinking I didn't even know how I teleported.
"first things first, when we teleport we aren't just popping from one place to the next or using worm holes.. " I said, while pepper left to go get some refreshments.
"then what do you use? " tony said smugly
"the void. "sans, stretch, mutt, red, gaster, and myself said at the same time.
"what's that? " Steve asked
"it's exactly what it sounds like. It's devoid of everything. Anyways when we teleport we're only using the void as a door, so you only feel the air being displaced. What dad did just now, would be the same as punching a hole in a wall, so it feels like a blast of air instead. " I said
"oh I get it now. "Steve said as pepper came back in to the room with a cart that held both coffee and tea.
"not that I don't find this riveting, but there was an actual reason, you needed us right? " asgore stated
"yes, earlier tonight, I snuck into mettaton's house and found out a few things." I said as I saw Mettaton hiding behind Bucky.
"now sable I'm sure you had a very good reason for this? "toriel said in a disapproving mother tone.
"when I got back to the house, papyrus was distraught, because Mettaton had canceled their dates this past week, I was supposed to go shopping with red later and we decided to have pap's come with hoping to get his mind off of it. Well it worked up till we were leaving. That's when we saw Mettaton with a blonde haired blue eyed human, both walking into the mall. " I said as I watched sans eye lights disappear.
"OK so what happened then? " toriel asked
"sable texted me and asked if I could keep an eye on him while she calmed papyrus down. " Nat stated
"hold on. I get being the big sister thing, but why couldn't you have teleported back after you dropped him off at your place? "tony asked as I watched Mettaton started to shake in anger.
I leaned back and just looked at tony, causing the monsters to look at me wondering why I wasn't saying anything. I held up my hand all five phalanges showing, I the counted down till only my index was showing, I then pointed towards Bucky just as Mettaton flew threw Bucky and got into Tony's face.
"because if she hadn't papyrus could've died! " he yelled
"wait how would seeing you with another man kill him? " Steve asked in genuine curiosity.
"do you know what monsters are made of? "toriel asked
"um. They are made primarily of magic, I believe sable put it as 90% magic 10% physical. " Steve answered as toriel nodded that he was correct.
"now do you know what happens when a monster dies? "she asked
"yeah. They turn to dust. "pepper answered this time.
"correct. "asgore said
"how about when a monster fall's down? "gaster asked getting a confused look from the humans.
"you didn't tell them about falling down, sable.? " gaster asked
"I didn't think it would ever come up, I didn't even think I had a soulmate. "I replied
"what's falling down? " Bucky asked now worried
"it's when a monsters soulmate either dies or causes some kind of emotional distress. " I explained
"so let me get this straight, when pap's saw Mettaton with another man, he what started to die or something? "tony asked
"not exactly, as we watched them enter the mall, we heard pap's soul start to crack. " I said knowing what was about to happen.
Sans stood up, his bones rattling in barely contained anger. While Mettaton was close to tears thinking how he almost lost papyrus.
"easy classic, sable took care of it. "red said as he tried to get sans to sit back down.
"why didn't you tell me? " sans growled out
"because if there's one thing I definitely know about you sans serif, it's that when it comes to papyrus you would sacrifice all you had to keep him happy. I wanted to find out why Mettaton canceled on pap's if he did it on purpose then I was going to get you involved. " I explained as sans sat back down.
"OK so what happened after you received sable's text? " asgore asked redirecting us back to the reason everyone was here.
"right. Took me a few minutes to get to the mall. I found them coming out of an electronic store, I found out that they bought a few motherboards, some spools of wire, and a 49-in-1 electronic tools set soldering welding kit. I followed them to a restaurant, some hole in the wall Italian place. I observed both of them flirting, but the main thing that was off about Mettaton was his movements. "Nat said
"that's when she texted me, I snuck to his house, and saw the man come out of a closet, he called Mettaton over and he communicated with someone on a screen that came out of Mettaton."I said
"what did they talk about? " Steve asked
"their looking for me, I don't know if they want Bucky or not, he was also to give weekly reports on frisk. "I said
"ШHΔT ШΩULD THΣΨ ШΔΠT ШITH THΣ HUMΔΠ ҒRISҜ. " blackberry asked
"I don't know, but I don't think it's to cause her harm, if that was the case they would've done so by now. "Steve said
"so then what happened? " gaster asked
"I waited till the house got quite and entered through the window. Once inside I decided to check out the closet, and that's where I found mettaton's body. " I said
"w what what h h h happened to I I it? " alphys asked
"I remember coming home from my date with papyrus, I was about to lay down to charge, when this human came out of the closet and started to attack, I was down to I I think 10 hp when I decided to play dead. He crouched down and started to take measurements of my body. Then he went out of the bedroom. "Mettaton said
"so w where I is it n n now? "alphys asked
"both mettaton's body and the replacement's are in starks lab. "I said
"why did they replace Mettaton? "undyne asked
"simple he's the easiest to replicate. " tony said
"what's that supposed to mean? " Mettaton asked
"OK Mettaton what's easier trying to build an anthropomorphic monster or elemental, or building a robot? " mutt asked
"ohhh. " Mettaton said
Papyrus kept looking between Mettaton and his lap, as the rest of us digested the information. It was quite enough for those dark voices that like to make your life miserable start to rear their ugly heads in my direction. ᴵᵀ'ˢ ᴬᴸᴸ ᵞᴼᵁᴿ ᶠᴬᵁᴸᵀ, ᴵᶠ ᵞᴼᵁ ᴴᴬᴰ ᴺᴱᵛᴱᴿ ᴮᴱᴱᴺ ᴮᴿᴼᵁᴳᴴᵀ ᴮᴬᶜᴷ ᴵᴺᵀᴼ ᵀᴴᴱᴵᴿ ᴸᴵᵛᴱˢ ᴺᴼᴺᴱ ᴼᶠ ᵀᴴᴵˢ, ᵂᴼᵁᴸᴰ'ᵛᴱ ᴴᴬᴾᴾᴱᴺᴱᴰ. I shook my head to clear my thoughts when pap's spoke up for the first time since he got here, "I ΠΩШ ҜΠΩШ THΔT IT ШΔSΠ'T ΨΩU, THΔT RΣD, SΔβLΣ ΔΠD I SΔШ ΣΔRLIΣR βUT I MUST ҜΠΩШ. ΔRΣ ΨΩU GΩIΠG TΩ βRΣΔҜ UP ШITH THΣ GRΣΔT PΔPΨRUS.? "
The look that came over mettaton's face when he was asked that was crushing, "no papy darling I don't want to break up with you, I I want to spend the rest of my life with you, so papyrus serif would you make me the happiest monster on this planet by being my mate? "he asked as the whole room got quite almost as if we were all holding our breath, as papyrus' eyes filled with bright orange tears. He nodded his head yes a few times until he could finally talk, "ΨΣS I THΣ GRΣΔT PΔPΨRUS ШΩULD LovΣ ҒΩR ΠΩTHIΠG MΩRΣ THΔΠ TΩ βΣ ΨΩUR MΔTΣ MΣTTΔTΩΠ! "
We all breathed a sigh of relief at that, and smiled as Mettaton and papyrus kissed and cuddled each other. Only to have fell ruin the moment by saying, "ΔS MUCH ΔS I LovΣ ΔLL THIS CUTΣ SHIT IT'S ΔLMΩST 3 IΠ THΣ MΩRΠIΠG, ΔΠD I ШΩULD LIҜΣ TΩ RΣST Δ LITTLΣ βIT βΣҒΩRΣ THΣ SUΠ RISΣS! "
"oh, I didn't know it was that late, fell's right we all need some rest, then we can figure out what to do about hydra then. "Steve said
"I have some spare rooms available for you guys so you don't have to try to teleport when your tired. " pepper said
"thank you pepper that would be greatly appreciated. " asgore said as pepper got up and ushered the monsters to the elevator.
"ya, comin doll? " red asked holding the elevator doors for me.
"nah, I'm just going to shortcut to my room."I said as I walked towards the wall and disappeared.
I reappeared on the other side of my floor's door, I took a shuttering breath as I slid down the door, my face buried in my knee's as the voices came back ten fold. ˢᴱᴱ ᵂᴴᴬᵀ ᵂᴱ ᴹᴱᴬᴺ ᴺᴼᵂ ᴴᵞᴰᴿᴬ ᴴᴬˢ ᴱᵛᴱᴺ ᴹᴼᴿᴱ ᵀᴼ ᴴᴼᴸᴰ ᴼᵛᴱᴿ ᵞᴼᵁᴿ ᴴᴱᴬᴰ. ᴼᴴ ᴬᴺᴰ ᵂᴴᴬᵀ ᴵᶠ ᵀᴴᴱᵞ ᴴᴬᵛᴱ ᴬ ᴷᴵᴰ ᴸᴵᴷᴱ ᵀᴴᴱ ᶜᴼᴹᴵᶜˢ ˢᴬᵞ ᵀᴴᴱᵞ ᴰᴼ ᵀᴴᴱᴺ ᵂᴴᴬᵀ? ᴰᴼ ᵞᴼᵁ ᴿᴱᴬᴸᴸᵞ ᵀᴴᴵᴺᴷ ᵞᴼᵁ ᶜᴬᴺ ˢᴬᵛᴱ ᵀᴴᴱᴹ, ᵀᴴᴬᵀ ᵞᴼᵁ ᶜᴬᴺ ᴷᴱᴱᴾ ᵀᴴᴱᴹ ˢᴬᶠᴱ. ᴾᴸᴱᴬˢᴱ! ᵞᴼᵁᴿ ᴺᴼᵀᴴᴵᴺᴳ ᴮᵁᵀ ᴬ ᴷᴵᴸᴸᴱᴿ, ᴰᴼ ᵞᴼᵁ ᵀᴿᵁᴸᵞ ᵀᴴᴵᴺᴷ ᵀᴴᴬᵀ ᵀᴴᴱᵞ ᶠᴼᴿᴳᴵᵛᴱ ᵞᴼᵁ.
I shook my head again hoping to get them to stop, but not this time. "please. Please. Just stop stop. "I whispered in the darkness.
Hoping someone would come help me.
But nobody came.
