(Hey guys..! Back with abother chapter! I, somewhat rushed the last chapter just to get it done, but I got plenty of time today! I'm extremely energetic! Hahahahaha! A-Anyways, let's get right into it because sleep is for the weak..! Maybe! Probably! I dunno! Getting into it, now! *Twitching*)

"...Vikkie's right." Serana stared at him, awaiting his response, if he even had one.

John was completely both baffled, confused, extatic, he. He didn't know what he was..! But, he didn't want to upset Serana. What was he supposed to do..? "U-Uh, I'm. Sorry, can. You repeat that, I thought I heard you say."

Serana nodded a bit. "Vikkie's right. There's something about you I cannot understand nor explain. It might not be love, but there is something there." She glanced around, half-expecting a Splicer to ruin the moment.

He gave her a 'Bish wha?' Look. "...Run that by me again? You, with me? How in da holy-hell am I worthy of you?" Serana sighed. "It's okay if you don't feel the same way... I understand." He inhaled deeply. Guilt-Trip. Kill me now... "Gaugh, uhm..! I, you're very pretty!" You ninconpoop..! Wrong thing at the wrong time! Gah, ya fucked up now! Might as well just let her ki-!

''I. Am..?" Serana looked at herself, oblivious to the Little Sister watching them with the biggest grin on her face.

He let out an inward breath of relief, resisting the urge to dramatically pass out. "Y-Yeah, if. If you look past the killing machine part, I. I think somewhere in there is a girl. I've seen her. I'm still seeing her in your. Uh, eyes." D'oh..! Ya screwed up again, ya worthless wa-!

"That's, actually very. Nice of you... You really think that there's hope for me?" Serana stared at him some more.

He nodded slowly. "Y-Yeah, but first..! Let's get out of here before more Splicers-"

"HUGO! DID'YA FIND TH' GI-Sunofabitch, they killed Hugo!" A female Splicer ran at them. She, apepared to be Thuggish. Ugh, they're only stepping-stones. But suck, in more ways than one nevertheless. "I'll avenge ya for that one, Hugo!"

Serana screeched, raising her needle, smirking. The Splicer noticed the needle, skidding to a halt, trying to run.

Serana leapt at her, wrestling her to the ground. John held his hand up. "Hold it. Not yet..."

Serana growled a bit, pressing the needle against the Splicer's chest. "...Let me kill her. I need her ADAM More than she does!" Serana stabbed the needle into her, draining her ADAM.

John sighed heavily. "...I get it you love me now and all, but it's very hard for me to love someone when they're drinking a drug from a corpse!"

Serana turned a valve, completely ignoring what he said, feeling the ADAM Absorb into her. She was fully healed by now, she judged. She stood up cautiously, bending and moving her legs. "Hey, they're healed..!"

He did a Poker Face. "...Grand for you. Welp, go take care of the little one, then." He turned, intending to walk off.

Serana screeched, causing him to turn to her as she slammed right into him, tackling him to the ground. "Don't leave meeee..! You promised!"

He felt his bones crack under her immense strength. For a Nineteen-Year-Old that weight less than a hundred pounds, she was god-awfully strong. Must be the ADAM... Or whatever Lamb did to her. "Can't..! Breathe..! Vision..! Hazy..! Ow!"

Serana loosened her grip, letting him breathe, but keeping him pinned. "I won't let you up until you take me with you..!"

He sighed. "You're acting like a child, now... Lemme go! I'm bein' molested!" A Splicer looked at them, turning and running off screaming 'The Tinnies're in heat..! The Tinnies're in heat!'

Serana's eyebrow twitched. "...Well, now I think I WILL molest you for that stunt..!" He swallowed hard. "...Can I take a rain-check on that? Or, something?" Serana thought for a moment. "I suppose... But you have to promise not to leave me."

He sighed heavily. "Whaaat is your obsession with meee..?!" Serana stared at him. "...One. I already said I love you, possibly. Maybe. I dunno, but. Two. You are my Charge. I need to protect you. Three. You said you'd protect me, making you my Charge, and me yours. Four, I. I have nowhere left to go anymore..."

He thought for a moment. "Ya could go as far away from me as possible, that's an option." Serana gave him a look. "I am supposed to protect you. And Mother She'd, she'd never take me back... I have nowhere."

He sighed heavily. He hated the guilt-tripping with a damn passion... "Fine. If you get off me, and. You stop guilt-tripping me. Deal?"

Serana nodded quickly, crushing him tightly again. "Thank you..! Thank you so mu-wait, what about guilt-tripping? Did you seriously think I was trying to..?! My programming's broken. Mother'll kill me if I return..! Why would I joke about that?!"

He could not breath even in the slightest, gasping for air. "Can't. Breathe..!" Serana loosened her grip, glaring daggers into his eyes. "...Why'd you think I was joking?" He caught his breath, inhaling deeply. "I didn't, it just seemed like you were guilt-tripping me."

Serana blinked a couple times, getting off him. "I wasn't. I was just stating that."

Vikkie was confused to what was happening. She saw Big Sis tackle Big Brother, but that's about it. Then they mentioned a mommy..? Big Sister has a mom?! Luckyyyy..! All I got is a Mister Bub... Mister Bubbles. She, didn't have a Mister Bee no more.

But she had Big Sis and Big Bro now..! They were a family to her! Except Big Sis strangling Big Bro... That isn't family-friendly. "Big Bro, can we go home..?!" Hey, that rhymed! She giggled at her rhyme.

John looked over at her, getting to his feet. "Yeah, but first." He glanced at Serana. "...We-"

"We have to bring you back home. To the vents..." Serana interrupted.

Vikkie stared at them, unsure what to say, so she said. "...Okay. If, we have to." She felt a bit heartbroken, but not as much as Mister Bubbles going to sleep forever. She missed him. He was a great listener. Not so much a speaker, though.

John nodded a bit. "Alright... Vikkie, let's go find a vent for you." Vikkie went out of her thoughts, walking ahead. "Okay..." Serana put her helmet on, sighing a bit and following alongside John.

(Welp, that was something..! Kind of saddening in a way! Anyways, see you guys in the next one! I tried making this one long! Hopefully I succeeded! It seems so..!)
