White Bird
Chapter 6
Enjoy the Silence
Danny groaned looking around at the old bedroom. There were toys all over the room. It seemed to be pretty well intact, well for the most part. There was a huge tree sticking out of the ground in the corner stretching toward the window.
Danny slowly walked over to the dresser. Drawings along one side seemed to be perfectly lined along the top. A doll house sat in the corner with a doll still sleeping in its bed. She slightly opened the closet to find lots of little dresses still hanging. Although discolored, and covered in mold. Danny looked down to see shoes. Tiny little shoes just sitting there waiting. A sudden smile on her face.
'Inky wouldn't be caught dead wearing them.' she thought before looking around at the small vanity with fake make ups, and a brush. A doll laying on its side. Her eyes scanning the room realizing a lot of the roof along one side was missing and there was a tree on its side just outside. It must have happened in a storm.
" So you're telling me that your her son...how?" Dareth asked. Danny wasn't to sure what was being said, but she looked out into the living room to see the boy. Yet the boy's body had changed. Markings along the side of his face, and arms. The glass wings, and the tail that kept swishing back and forth. His blue hair slightly glowing. A lot like hers did. Yet she had no memory of having children other then Otto and adopting Inky.
"She wouldn't remember me. Gaya had a habit of wiping her memory before another mission. Happened all the time. Had something to do with loyalty." Aloe told them. Dareth sat down on the couch. She could barely make out Dareths face. His looked unbelieving. It didn't matter.
"Oh stop that, its not like she cheated on you. Literally 30 years before you." He told the man. "My father Glass was a fusion."
"So she's got a thing for fusions." Zane piped up. Danny gasped not realizing just how close her brother was. He must have been sitting on a chair next to her door.
Aloe sipped his tea and put it back on the table.
"Love though…" He looked down at his hands. One was metal, and the other was human. "Love didn't stop my mom from murdering my father." Aloe said looking up at Dareth.
"Are you planning on killing her?" Zane asked. Aloe looked up at him.
"I was planning on it. Not as revenge, but mercy. Living a life of slavery like she was. Not being allowed to fall in love for fear of the other being killed." He balled up his hands into fists and gritted his teeth. "Not...fair." His voice broke. He had to take a deep breath and close his eyes.
"So you wanted to take her out of her misery. What changed that?" Zane asked. Aloe turned to look at Dareth.
"I can't kill her, because she's in love. Has a son. Yes I looked you up...I saw that smile on her face and the child in your arms. How could I take that away? I would be just like Gaya." His eyes opened and looked at Dareth. Dareth stood up and walked over to Aloe. Aloe stood up and flinched away from Dareth. Dareth stopped and reached out grabbing the front of the boys shirt. Aloe was half a head shorter then himself. Yet to Aloes amazement he was pulled into Dareths arms.
Zane had stood up to stop the man from advancing on the boy. But the look up him hugging the boy who seemed to melt at the contact.
"That man has a high capacity for love." Zane slowly turned to see the concern on Danny's face.
"Do you remember something?" Zane asked. Danny nodded slowly.
"He was a movie star, and I was his makeup artist. Went in looking for someone...master of form can be anyone. Glass seemed to come out of nowhere. I was tasked to go in and assess. How could I have been so...blind sided by someone like him? Thick, mean, strong...kind...daring...smart." Danny noticed everyone was looking at her.
"We didn't plan to be parents. I didn't know I could reproduce. Once I lost my original body after Donny shot me...I lost the ability." Danny said sitting down in the chair Zane had vacated.
"But how did you make your other son then?" Aloe asked
"Oh Dr. Borg helped us there." Dareth told him. "Took a major effort, and emotional problems but after the 8th attempt. Well I'm sure you've seen the attempt."
"Blue hair though...your father?" Zane asked. Aloe chuckled and ran his fingers through the curls.
"Yeah...got mom's eyes though."
"Wait...you got that hair from...wait...how did you? Who?"
"Who raised me?" Aloe asked seeing the concern on Danny's face. He smiled warmly at her. "Lets just say we had friends who took me in willingly." He shrugged. Danny just sighed.
"Alright this is a cause for celebration. Danny you've got your family back this is great. Let's go eat." Dareth marched toward the door and opened it.
There was a bright flash...Dareth looked up into the eyes of a very familiar face. Brown eyes, blond hair, and the number 4 written under his eyes. The four only seen on the face of a clock.
Everything moving in slow motion for Dareth as he fell back into Zanes arms.
