Chapter 12: Blank Pages

When she awoke, 0016 had changed. 009 and 003 watched their new friend with concern. They had never been able to change an enemy cyborg to their side before. Well, except for 0013, but he had committed suicide instead of picking a side and 009 refused to let that happen to 0016 as well. 0016 looked up at the gentle smile on 003's face. However, instead of reacting with a smile or in shock, she just stared. Soon, the cyborgs came to realize that 0016 was mute. Weather she couldn't speak, or she just wouldn't, they didn't know. Also, she showed a lack of emotion. She sat among them, eyes slowly looking over them. Then, they stopped on 004. Once he realized her intense stare, he returned it. After what seemed like hours, he finally broke it. 0016 took the hint and looked away, now her eyes turning to 002. He was yelling at the group that they needed to do something. It was obvious Black Ghost was still alive and he insisted that they needed to find him and kill him for good. Then, while the group talked among themselves, he looked at her. His bad temper getting to him quickly.

"What are you looking at?" He snapped.

"002, don't." 006 started. 002 looked at him, furious, then back at the girl.

"What? She's just sitting there. She doesn't talk, she doesn't show emotions at all. She doesn't even really show that she understands what we are saying! Who can say she is not dead and is only being run by the machines Black Ghost put inside her? She could be a spy! We don't know anything about her!" 002 yelled, with a more fiery temper than he had had with the idea of attacking Black Ghost. 0016 just continued to stare at him. Her face blank. 002 moved in on her, fury in his eyes. "STOP STARING AT ME!" He yelled. 003 jumped in the way. She glared at the red haired.

"STOP IT! STOP YELLING AT HER!" 003 yelled. She moved over to the girl and wrapped a protective arm around her shoulders.

"She's empty 003! She's like an empty shell!" 002 yelled. 003 shook her head, tears coming to her eyes.

"You're wrong. You're wrong. She's there. I can sense her. I can feel her. She's just confused and scared. We have to prove to her that we are not her enemies."

"We don't have to 'prove' anything!" 002 snapped.

"Stop it, the both of you!" They all turned to look at Professor Gilmore. He stood, holding 001 in his arms. "003 is right, 002, we have to be patient. I believe 0016 will show more emotion and perhaps even begin to talk once she starts getting used to us."

A month later, things were still the same. Though all of the cyborgs, including 002, had tried (in their own ways) to get her to talk or react. 001 tried to talk to her mentally, but he told the others that a very powerful wall seemed to be built around her mind. 002 asked her about her powers, though he didn't really seem to be trying. 003 talked to her about her past. 004 met her at night and told her he was sorry for almost killing her. 005 gave her a gift from his homeland. 006 made her one of his best Chinese meals he knew how to make. 007 tried to make her laugh by turning into several strange objects. 008 took her in the water and introduced her to whales and dolphins. 009 just tried to talk, though he wasn't sure how.

A/N: Just cause 0016 is mute doesn't mean I have to be. O.o Anyway. Yeah...I've lost myself in myself. Come on, really, how many of you can truely say you've never gone mute and emotionless for like a month? ::Watches as everybody raises their hands:: O..k...nevermind then...
