Vile felt warmth surrounding him, I must be in heaven he thought. He opened
his eyes to see the worried face of his love. "And you must be my guardian
angel." He said weakly. "Ssshhh!" said Cerebro putting two fingers to his
lips. "You need to rest love, you over did yourself doing whatever you
did." He looked down and found himself lying on a bed with nothing on but
his boxers. "Sorry, I had to remove your armor but I needed to be able to
get to your wounds." Was all she said before forcing him to lie back down.
Vile laid back and closed his eyes relaxing at Cerebro's gently touch.
"OW!" he cried suddenly as she began removing a bandage around his arm. "I need to put fresh bandages on you, so I'm sorry for the pain, love. I will try to be gentler." Cerebro said. Their friends spent the next two hours, listening to Cerebro and Vile as she put fresh bandages and ointment on him. "Honestly you can fight the greatest maverick hunters and survive, yet you can't stand to be bandaged up." Cerebro finally said frustrated at Vile not wanting to stay still. "Have I told you, that you have wonderful hands?" Said Vile. "Yes, about ever time you come here after a fight with those hunters, but answer me this, did you just stand there and let them beat you up." Answered Cerebro. Vile turned to look her strait in the eye, than answered "Yes, and no."
"WHAT!" Cerebro shouted. "I did fight, but I was letting him thrash me. I would never had gotten away from Sigma to take that vacation with you if I hadn't, but I didn't realize he would try to kill me." Vile than said "But it doesn't matter, because I'm with you." He than wrapped his arms firmly around her waist and pulled her close. "Your in no shape to play those games." Cerebro said unwrapping his arms from around her waist. "How's (cough, cough) Zeno?" he asked going into a coughing fit which rattled his whole body. "Zero's just fine."
"WHAT!" Vile said nearly jumping out of his skin, and sending himself back into another coughing fit. "Zeno, love. I was talking about Zeno. One day Zoë accidentally called him Zero, and Zeno seemed to like the name so I call him that as a pet name." Cerebro said pushing him back down again, which took little effort since Vile felt exhausted and had no energy to make her stop. "So don't worry." Vile just lay there as she finished, cleaning and bandaging his wounds. His thoughts were raging through his mind. 'Well,' he thought, 'It could be worse, I could be scrap metal right now. I hope Naomi is doing okay.' Slowly his thoughts and the humming of an unfamiliar tune from Cerebro lulled him to sleep.
"I can't believe it." Protested Naomi, "I just can't believe it. Bro disappears and I'm stuck being Sigma's replacement for second-in-command and I still have my other duties." She checked her watch, "Dame it" she said, "Dr. Cain is going to kill me. I was supposed to be back and hour ago, for that session with the rookies." She was racing across the city when she heard barking. "Tuner!" she called out as the yellow and brown robotic dog. "Hey, girl. Can I get a lift out of ya?" "Ya, ya." Tuner barked. Tuner than transformed into a jet board and said, "Hop on." Tuner barked happily, as Naomi hoped on, and they were off towards Maverick Hunter HQ.
(Note: HQ= Head Quarters)
Vile spent the next two weeks in bed, and Cerebro spent the next two weeks figuring out how to keep him quiet when she had Zero with her. "When will I be able to travel?" "Soon enough love, soon enough." Answered Cerebro as she changed Zero's clothes from his nightshirt to a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. She leaned over and kissed Vile, but she had to break it when Zero started fussing. I think I'm going to be sick all they ever do is kiss. "I'm going into the main part of the city I have to do some shopping. I want you to rest til I get back, Vile. I'm also taking Zeno with me." Cerebro said picking up Zero and headed for the door. "Are you sure?" Vile said sitting up in the bed and he bit back a moan of pain. "Yes, and lie back down now, or you'll just hurt yourself." She ordered. With that said she left the room with her purse swinging at her side and Zero bouncing on her hip.
