A/N Hey glad to see my twist last chapter was cool. I super wanted to get that secret out and completely destroy Tails…..again. To anyone who has fears he'll go all anger issues again just read ahead and you'll get your answer, because I know someone mentioned that they weren't totally into the darker Tails. Not that I have a problem with that, there is a reason I made him turn back, I find it fun writing an angry Tails but I know that's not who he truly is and writing the normal Tails is far better to me. But still wait and see what's gonna happen to his mental state.
Besides that thanks for all the support but I seriously should get working on this because next month I'll probably disappear for awhile. When the end of September roles around I'll be probably playing xcom 2 with all my free time since it's FINALLY coming to consoles. So if anyone reading doesn't know that's happening and likes the xcom series go get it because you won't be disappointed from what I can tell…. Except maybe the fact the game MAY not feature mod support meaning no long war mod.
Some of this chapter was written while on the road, my family decided to go for a road trip and thought I could spend some time on these long car rides to get some writing done. So in stark contrast to my dark desolate and burned world of Mobius I was able to see amazing landscapes of Pennsylvania , DC, Virginia and Tennessee. My family wanted to go to Washington DC and we also decided to travel down to my great aunt and uncle. It is very different and beautiful country than up in Canada, Ontario. Ontario is far more rocky and has either sudden drops in that land like escarpments, like where I live essentially cutting my city in half or has flat/rolling hills. So it was nice. So for my entire travel I went through New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, DC, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan in that order.
So to accompany my (mostly) relaxing drive you might just get some feels and emotions this chapter, hope ya enjoy.
Tails stared at the wreck of metal in front of him and the man who had told him one of the most disturbing things he'd ever heard in his life. He didn't even register the tears escaping his eyes, there was only disbelief, rage and sick feeling in his stomach.
Years of seeing what Eggman would do to take control of Mobius and all the experiments he performed. They were in-human, immoral and dangerous. Sonic had seen it all and to hear that his mind broke and he volunteered to become one of the doctors most powerful weapons. All the guilt and pain and torture must have been so powerful. Tails couldn't even comprehend what his friend had to go through to make him fall so far.
Sadly he knew that people who have been broken or have gone insane rarely make sense to the sane. All he knew was all the stress of not only losing all his friends, but also essentially killing them, the isolation and finally the torture had brought to the darkest of places. And there was nothing Tails could do, nothing he could say to change his mind back thanks to that chip Eggman mentioned.
The thought of it nearly made him throw up, his friend had been there for all his life and saved him so many times, on a personal level and by saving the world. Then he left like the stupid kid he was wasn't there when he needed him, now he wasn't Sonic anymore…. He was just an attack dog.
"Wait!? Attack!"
Tails got to his feet and ran back see how everyone was doing.
Looking out over his vantage point he wiped away his tears and saw that everyone had been either knocked out or temporarily taken out of the fight besides Shadow and Scourge, but it looked like Shadow was close to losing as well. Sonic focused on him the most since he had the chaos emerald back in his possession.
On the other hand any time Scourge was forced back or hit he only came back with more ferocity. The fox couldn't tell why, he was so far away so using his helmet zoomed in for a better look.
To his horror Nicole was still in Sonics possession, even during the fighting he was still holding onto the PDA and was using her as a survival tool. Scourge would attack and be forced to hold himself back when Sonic put the PDA in the way or threaten to crush it. He could see the rage and frustration in his eyes everytime he was stopped by the low tactic.
Whenever Scourge was forced to back off or ease up Sonic would put the pressure onto Shadow, and was slowly witling him down.
Knowing he had very little to help them he turned to the railgun parts and quickly put it back together getting back into the squat he had before.
He aimed and focused but the trio was moving far to fast for him to make shot so broke radio silence "Hold him in place!"
With desperate fervor the two hedgehog lunged at the robot and grabbed at Sonics arms and forcefully sprawled him out facing Tails direction.
Looking into those digital eyes felt so much different now, but…. No it's not Sonic anymore.
His finger hesitated for not even half a second before finally firing. The electrical charge and gases finally meeting as a single slug was pushed into the barrel and was propelled forward with amazing force and speed. The kickback nearly causing him to fall backwards if not for the stands on his back. His shoulder felt numb for half a second and the force of the blast caused all the ash around him to poof into the around him.
Almost in slow motion he watched as Sonic struggled. The weakened hedgehogs couldn't completely hold it still so it leaned enough to the side that the massive bolt missed it's chest and connected with the shoulder causing the arm holding Nicoles PDA to fall to the ground. His hesitation gave Sonic just barely enough time to fight back and save itself.
The force of the shot still sent all three hedgehogs falling backwards. Scourge and Shadow fell flat on their back totally exhausted but Sonic rolled out of his fall and without hesitation flew away before Tails could charge another shot.
With that their chance was gone… a chance to remove a powerful enemy and end a friends suffering. He failed, he failed everyone.
Tails dropped the gun and cursed to himself, he was gonna have a lot to answer for…. Should he even tell the others that he was really the real Sonic? Could he hide that if he chose to? Not they needed to know.
The fox sadly packed up all the parts and jogged his way back to the group, how was he going to tell them the truth. Maybe he could hide it for a bit until they asked what happened to him.
As he approached Nicole materialized and looked around and she grew a shocked face seeing everyone knocked out or recovering. But she went to Scourge, who was close enough to her PDA to reach.
"Scourge are you alright?" the lynx asked worried he'd been badly hurt somehow.
The green hedgehog groaned in response but nodded his head weakly making the lynx smile and sigh in relief.
Tails jogged over to Fiona who was nursing a lump on her head she had received from earlier in the fight. After Tails failed to fire the group knew they had to save Nicole and knew that Sonic wanted the emerald, which had been in Fiona's possession at the time.
Sonic had attacked her first nearly knocking her unconscious but like before Silver used his powers to annoy Sonic. He wasn't gonna be fooled again so rammed Silver with his hard head knocking the wind from him.
Blaze of course went right into action defending the white hedgehog and harassed Metal for a short time even scoring a scratch on the side of the head, it did pretty much nothing but Sonic made her pay for it. She was currently trying to stand after the beating she received.
"Fi, you ok?" Tails asked kneeling down to her.
"Ya…. Just minor brain trauma right?" she joked for a moment rubbing her head "What happened to you though?"
He looked away and frowned "I…. Eggman knew exactly what e were doing?"
"What!? He had an ambush for you, what happened, are you alright?" all of a sudden she was more worried for him since he'd been alone.
"No… it was ust a floating screen with Eggman talking to me…. He explained that…. That.."
What the hell Tails! What the hell happened to the plan!?" An angry voice asked.
Approaching them was limping Shadow clearly very pissed off. His bad leg was the one he was limping on showing how bad it actually was to everyone, but he was too angry to care.
"We could have died, what happened!?" Shadow asked again.
"I… I was…" Tails stuttered all the information he'd digested in a short time was making him timid and scared.
"Spit it out, I'd love to know why Nicole's life was risked for so long without one shot coming from you. What could have possibly distracted you so much you forgot we were fighting a super powered Metal Sonic.
"No… listen I"
Shadow bared down on the kneeling fox and bore his fangs at the younger Mobian.
"Hey back off Shadow!" Fiona coming in between them trying to push Shadow back.
"No! We had a plan, we had him exactly where we wanted him and Tails wasn't there. WHY!?" Shadow yelled, the stress pain and realization that it was all for nothing put him over the edge.
"Eggman snuck on me with a floating screen and started talking to me, he knew exactly what was happening" Tails finally explained looking away from the intimidating hedgehog.
Most of the anger left Shadow then asked "How the hell did he know, does he have a the hideout tapped?"
"He said it's the place Fiona and I fought Metal Nack, I eve chose the same place he had chosen as his sniping spot" Tails briefly explained feeling stupid for doing something so obvious.
"Shit!" Shadow cursed "Is that it?Is that all he wanted, to gloat?"
Fiona was curious too and looked back to the male fox sure Shadow was done threatening him.
"He… he told me about Sonic…" Tails began already feeling his stomach start to churn.
"Sonic? What? Is he still alive?" Shadow asked hope in his eyes again, even he would be happy to know his rival was still alive. The simple fact Sonic was a threat again could make Eggman make mistakes.
Tails' lip quivered "Yes…. And no…. mostly no"
Shadow and Fiona both adopted questioning and confused faces.
Tails continued "Eggman… he…. He told me that last video we saw of Sonic wasn't the end…. He took him bck to his base and…. He tortured him, mentally and physically and…. He broke him"
His two companions listened intensely now, the sheer realization that Sonics mind had been broken already caused them both to freeze in place but they could tell he wasn't done.
"He said…. He said he warped his mind so much that Sonic…. He …. He saw that Eggman was the true savior of Mobius and decided to work for him…. And eventually volunteered to be what he is now" Tears fell from the foxes eyes.
"No" Shadow mumbled anger rising again "No that… that thing we just fought, that wasn't him?" it was a question more than a statement, but the silence Tails gave answered it.
"Chaos…. Sonic…. Working with Eggman" he mumbled again all emotion escaping his body.
"No that's impossible… but…. Eggmans done even more cruel things before" Fiona spoke to herself trying to wrap her head around the horrifying idea of Sonic being a bad guy. Preaching all the good stuff and being a role model to all…. Turned to evil, she just couldn't believe it.
So far only the three knew about it, Scourge was still trying to even sit up while Nicole tended to him while Silver was tending to Blaze.
Fiona after a few moments of simply trying to comprehend an evil Sonic noticed the amount of pain Tails was in. She was quickly by his side.
"Tails look at me"
He shook his head, not only did he feel weak for not taking the shot sooner but he didn't want Fiona to see the tears in his eyes, to show he was weak in front of her.
"Tails" she said far more softly "Please look at me"
He tried to stifle his cries to sniffles and his head slowly tilted back up to her opening his eyes.
He was met by heavenly eyes. It was enough to calm him down.
"I'm sorry" he mumbled to her.
"You have nothing to be sorry about, we all did our best"
"No…. I hesitated…. Eggman planned it. He planned to tell me and see how I'd react… and I hesitated" he failed, and failed everyone else.
"Nobody is dead, and any injuries we've sustained are minor. Nothing bad happened" Fiona reassured him.
"But what if someone had gotten hurt badly or killed? Look at Shadows leg, the stress is making him limp" Tails was having another bout with his confidence. He couldn't be a leader like Sonic had been.
"We're a team which means not everything is your responsibility. We all have a responsibility to do our best" the female explained.
"And once I'm off my leg it will get better" Shadow commented, although that might have been a lie.
"See it's temporary" Fiona continued to reassure him.
With some time Tails eventually tried to get to his feet, with Fiona's help. He didn't say he agreed with her he just wanted to go home.
The trio looked to the other four and found Scourge prying Nicoles PDA from Sonics severed arm and eventually rip open the fingers and retrieved the device. Nicole just smiled to him covering the fact she'd been actually staring at his muscles as he tried his best to pry her free of the hand.
Silver got Blaze back to consciousness and besides some soreness she seemed fine already on her feet with Silvers help.
"You guys ok?" Fiona asked seeing Tails not in the mood to be the leader right now.
"Just beat up thankfully" Blaze coughed out a little using Silver as support incase she fell.
It was then that Scourge passed the PDA over to the lynx then walked to Tails "What hell was that stunt you pulled, Nicole could have been crushed and you weren't there to end it until we were too tired to keep him still?" he oddly cared about Nicoles safety for once.
Shadow stepped in "He explained it, he was attacked by Eggman right as we got Metal into that stalemate" he lied wanting to keep the secret of Sonic going bad away from the rest.
Scourge just huffed and turned away. He was still very angry that Tails failed the one job he had which was sit there, watch and shoot but the lie was realistic enough to silence him.
"It seems it has escaped" Blaze commented.
"No shit" Scourge growled picking up the severed arm "He left us a souvenir though" he waved the arm to them.
In a small way Tails wanted to take that arm and tell Scourge off for essentially disrespecting his best friend but kept quiet, odds are he'd have a new arm soon.
"We should keep it, maybe I can find a use for it" Tails mumbled.
Scourge wanted to break it into pieces but took Tails' advice and picked it up. Then turned to Nicole and paused a moment "Hey Nicki… you ok?"
"Yes I'm fine, maybe scared in the moment but I am fine now. Thank you" She smiled appreciative of his concern.
"Good" he nodded, a little awkwardly so he looked off into the horizon.
Silver tended to Blaze but momentarily looked to his mentor and noticed the limp on his bad leg "Shadow, are you alright your leg?"
Unlike everyone else all Shadow had to do was send Silver a warning glare to keep him from asking further. Their relationship and Silver time with Shadow allowed them to communicate better than the others.
Tails walked over to Shadow and quietly said "We are talking about this when we get back" Shadow grit his teeth not liking that but had a feeling this wouldn't be a group talk, maybe just him and Fiona.
"We should try and get back before Eggman tries anything else" Fiona decided, with Shadow limping and everyone hurt besides Tails and Nicole they weren't fit to fight right now, or go fast. Better to get moving sooner rather than later.
Everyone agreed and started heading back for Freedom HQ…
Fiona waited awhile wanting to see if she could speak to Tails but he avoided talking to her for now, he just wanted to be alone for bit. Maybe she could try later one they were back at home.
As they walked Shadow limp became less noticeable, partially because the pain was going away and because he was forcing himself to walk better to hide how bad it really was. The idea that the team would tell him to hold himself back for this made him angry. He wasn't some old man who needed to be told his limits.
Blaze was already normal again, she may have taken a beating but he was fine now, outside some sore spots. If her was any indicator she looked fine.
Silver was still worried over her though, which annoyed her a little, but she still appreciated the concern.
Nicole walked next to Scourge, normally she'd be in her PDA while travelling to conserve on the power ring needed to be in holo-form but since they had a ton at home and plenty of charge left she didn't care.
Scourge walked with his hands inside his pockets, his jacket looking worse than when they found him.
"Scourge?" the lynx asked quietly.
"Hmm?"
"May I ask, why are your jacket and glasses to important to you?"
He sighed and thought about it if he should tell her "Well to be honest they were something that were mine for a long time. Everything I owned was bought through my dads money. Even after I kill…. He passed away it was still all of his money. The jacket and glasses were something that were always mine. And now it's still that way, my only real possessions" during his speech he took off his glasses and inspected them.
Nicole thought about what he said and eventually got what he meant "Then maybe when this is all over you can patch the jacket up?"
"Maybe" he shrugged "So why be a lynx, was it pre-programmed or did you choose it?"
"I can't quite answer that accurately. You know I didn't have a form for a long time, I simply was just that PDA. But I was designed by a man who had lost his daughter, both were lynx's and well….. he wanted me to become his new daughter, to replace her. Apparently I didn't seem to be growing much or at all so he decided to give me over to Sally for her birthday" she frowned, even though her life had gone in such exciting directions and she'd learned to be Mobian it still felt like she had been sort of….. Abandoned by her father "When I got my new holo-form I sort of subconsciously chose this form, maybe it was kind of programmed. I could change it but, I am who I am now and I'd have it no other way. I don't ever want to be my deceased sister, I just want to be me"
Scourge listened, he caught the frown when she explained she'd been passed off, even he found that kind of cruel "Well I guess your life was more exciting this way instead of being a scientists daughter "
"I suppose so, and through it got a real living sister out of it, Sally" she smiled before remembering Sally was gone now. She always knew that would happen, she was a computer, she'd outlive her organic sister, she just ever expected it to be so soon and so suddenly.
"Wouldn't be here either I bet" Scourge said.
"No I suppose I wouldn't, I more than likely would have never met all the people I did and more than likely be used as a weapon or destroyed if Eggman ever found me" Despite everything this life still sounded better than that.
Scourge smiled "Ya, not sure how'd it be if you hadn't been around, would have never broke into that factory without you. Atleast as easily as we did" Considering both of them nearly got taken down by the same invisi-bot they could both only imagine how hard taking down that factory would have been if they hadn't hacked in.
"Yes, that would have been a much worse, I can only imagine what would have become of me if you hadn't been there" she blushed thankful for him pushing through his pain to narrowly save her.
"Oh… ya, it's was nothing" he shrugged dismissing it "I just wanted to make that thing pay for beating me up" he quickly shrugged again.
Nicole just smiled again, despite his explanation having nothing to do with saving her she still was very appreciative.
"I wish I could repay you somehow though" she spoke again.
Scourge continued to avoid eye contact "No you've…. Done enough, you don't owe me anything"
"What have I done?" she seemingly had no clue she'd payed him back so she was curious.
"I don't know… you hung out with me I guess…. Watched me when I was hurt even though I tried to make you go away…. Gave me that back rub" he mumbled the last part, but her big ears caught it.
His explanation made her blush again, she'd just thought she was helping him recover but now that he repeated them back to her it didn't sound quite that way…. Especially the back rub.
"Maybe…. I was…. pushing my boundaries a bit" she apologized "You were kinda annoyed with me" she frowned not liking the idea of him being angry at her.
"No it was fine, I mean… it was nice actually" he scratched the back of his head confused by what he was even doing.
"Really?" the lynx asked a little excited to hear him say that, she had no idea why though.
"Ya… it was pretty good… your hands are…. Soft"
"Soft?" she sounded confused but a weird feeling came in her chest.
He hadn't expected the last bit to come out, but it had "Ya… I guess you did that with your holo-form or something" he tried to dismiss it and guess that she had changed her holo-form to be softer to the touch when she did that.
"Oh, no I haven't done any modifications to my form since I got it besides clothing and simulating growth as best I can" explaining that felt weird, but she still felt good knowing that Scourge had described her fur as soft.
"Ah well then I guess your fur is just naturally soft" he shrugged looking forward to the horizon but slightly to the left so she wasn't in his peripheral vision.
Hearing that made her have a sudden drive to ask "If you liked it you could touch it again?" she clearly didn't think it through as it came out and sounded like she meant something else.
"W-what?" he choked suddenly. He'd heard stuff like that before from other woman, he'd would just smirk and accept the offer, but hearing her say that through off his composure.
His reaction made her heart sink "I apologize if I said something wrong" now looking to the ground feeling like she did something wrong.
"No… you didn't… just…. What do you mean by that…. Because…. I've…. Heard it before and used in different ways" he didn't want to directly say it to her for some reason and hoped she'd deduce it herself.
"I meant just feel my paw again" she frowned.
Scourge sighed slightly seeing just how innocent she actually meant it but then realized what that also implied "My hand is covered in crud anyway, wouldn't want to get you all dirty" he realized how crappy of an excuse that was half a second after.
"No, it'd be fine, my holo form can't really get dirty" she smiled hand extended out to him a little, he could see a bit of excitement in her eyes.
Due to her earlier statement his head was still sort of in the gutter and wondered for about half a second if her holo form could get 'dirty' NO! Stop! He wanted to smack himself but he went back to reality looking to her hand
He'd already seen how disappointed she was when he mistaken her first statement and honestly he felt bad making her feel bad. He looked out to the others of the group, they were all ahead of them either in their own world or talking so he looked to her hand one more time then her hopeful eyes and sighed.
He slowly put out a hand from his pocket and rather gently held her hand.
For Nicole it was something she'd never felt before, the small feeling in her chest only intensified, it felt great. Ideas of touching more than his hand came to her mind and seeing if this feeling restricted to just holding his hand or if it intensified with more contact. She clearly had no understanding of what was really going on, Her inexperience making her think much more innocent thoughts and reasons for what was happening. Luckily she was in control enough to know any further would be crossing boundaries.
For Scourge it felt much more strange, he knew what was going on and frankly…. He was scared. He'd had these feelings before, hell Fiona and him felt this way for awhile but unlike with Fiona he was now scared. Because now he knew it was more important… and maybe real.
With Fiona he had always had the feeling that she used him to escape from her friends. Why? He had a few theories but he never dared asked. He knew Nicole had nowhere to run from, she wanted to be here, with her friends doing what she could to save the world. She wasn't gonna leave them. There was no reason for her to be doing this outside of real emotions.
"Those emotions were directed at him…. Him of all people, he could tell she didn't even know. That only scared him more. After everything he hated the idea of hurting her, she'd been so good to him. Such a nice girl had given him the time of day knowing he was a murderer, a jerk and a villain. He didn't know why it started but knew now why it continued.
He was scared because in a way…. He didn't care anymore, ever since he'd been kicked out of Moebius he'd come to the conclusion he had no home, no friends, safe place to go and was trapped in a universe that knew he was a bad guy.
He'd thought about it, a lot, and hid it well. Why was he even alive? But now he meant something to somebody now. She didn't even know it but if he were to…. Go away or die, she'd be devastated. She'd only recently learned all her friends, and sister were gone. Her few friends left were in constant danger of death and now the guy she seemed to have feelings for didn't care about his own life anymore.
Yet he cared about hers.
He wouldn't tell anyone that but he didn't want to see her hurt. She gave off a feeling of innocence and wanting to be a genuinely good person. So much so that it was affecting him too. He hated seeing her frown, he hated seeing her afraid. He hated seeing her in danger. When he got angry with her he felt guilty for doing so and felt the need to apologize afraid she wouldn't come back if he didn't.
He'd gotten used to her presence, he refused to leave her behind when the base was attacked. Everyday he felt like he needed her more.
But he was Scourge the anti Sonic, the bad guy. He wasn't what she needed. He would only hurt her, but he didn't want to. He was stuck now, unable to hurt her but would hurt her by pushing her away.
So right now he decided to just hold her hand and walk, she was smiling and her paw was soft.
The group continued to walk silently after that oblivious to the hedgehog and lynx. They were able to make good time. Apparently Eggman was content with revealing Metal Sonics true identity and seeing how that affected the group.
They arrived back late afternoon sneaking through the city like before and made it back safe and sound. Any soreness anyone felt was either gone or turned to a dull numb feeling.
Of them all Blaze was the most hurt and as soon as they got back Silver got some medical supplies to help her out. Blaze had sat up against the wall by the time her friend came back.
"Silver you do not have to worry over me, I can tend to myself" she hated feeling like a child and requiring help.
He just chuckled "Don't worry Blaze, Shadow taught me a bunch of first aid I promise I won't hurt ya"
"It is not that Silver, I just don't want you worrying over me when I am able to take care of myself" she looked away though finding his willingness to stay by her side somewhat….. charming.
"No that wouldn't be very fair right? When I got hurt you were there for me. Besides I just want to make sure you're ok" Silver explained rummaging through his supplies.
She sighed and nodded pulling up her first sleeve where she'd take a bad hit and was still sore.
Silver gently put a small amount of pressure where she directed eventually getting her to hiss a bit and said "Hmmm, hope that's just a lump and not something wrong with your bone. Either way, here's something to relieve the pain"
He got some cream and rubbed a small amount on the area. He got a relieved sign, the cool gel already making her feel better already.
With that done he did the same for another spot on the other arm then asked "Ok, so anywhere else?" he was sure there was but he wanted to ask anyway.
"Uhh… yes… my side" she said nervously because she'd have to lift up her top and then feel him rub his hand along it. It wasn't because she didn't want him to but more because she wanted him to. His hands touching her arms felt really nice it made her skin tingle, she had to hold back purring when he did it.
She had never felt that way with someone, in fact she had spent awhile with him now and was sure she liked him. He was kind, caring, selfless and she admittedly like his chest fur a lot.
"Oh, ya, ok" the male said trying to cover up that he was also nervous.
So with a really bad blush and shaky hands Blaze lifted up her shirt enough to reveal her stomach and side then pointed to where it hurt. From what the hedgehog could tell, she had bruised bad and had now turned darker under her fur. He frowned at the sight somewhat forgetting he was gently touching the girl he liked.
"Unfortunately besides the cream there isn't much I can do here either" he was already getting the cream.
"Oh, well I guess that's bad…. I'm sure it will help though" she said secretly kind of waiting for him to apply the cream.
When he finally did the combination of his soft touch and the soothing cream forced her to purr this time. Neither noticed at first until Silver pulled away.
"Oh… I'm sorry" she scratched her head nervously avoiding eye contact.
"No t's right, I guess it's some good stuff" giving all credit to the cream.
"Oh ya, that… ya" Blaze nodded taking the excuse.
"Is that all you're gonna need?" he asked kinda wanting to stop pushing his boundaries.
"Yes I believe that's all that really needs tending to…. Do you want some help? I remember you taking a hit or two?" Blaze nervously asked.
"Well I guess my chest kind hurts from the head-butt he gave me but-"
"Here let me assist you, I want to return the favor" she said sitting up on her knees swiping the cream from his grasp before he could protest. She had no idea what she was doing but she heard his chest hurt and the idea of running her fingers through his chest fur spurred her to action faster than she even realized, like a primal want. She'd never lost control like that and she wasn't quite done yet.
"No Blaze you really don't have to" her was too nervous, his heart was pounding. She had something in her eyes he couldn't quite figure out and he had wanted to get out of here and end the awkward situation sooner rather than later.
"No, fair is fair" she grabbed his wrist, just a little too tightly than she wanted "Just be still" she ordered.
He wanted to cringe feeling her claws poke at his skin but kept it together "I… ok"
She got some cream in her hand and began gently applying it under his chest fur actually wanting to sooth some pain, she doubted the cream would actually work through all the fur so avoided it for now.
Despite his anxiety the stuff did feel good and his breathing slowed watching her hand like at any moment they'd stab into him, of course they never did as they slowly drifted up into his chest fur slowly digging in.
For Blaze it was new, different and exciting. It was soft and warm. So much so that her other hand drifted over and began playing with the fur.
"Uhh… Blaze?"
"Shhhh" she cooed slowly leaning forward, her brain not controlling her anymore.
Her fingers needed at the soft fur her eyes focused on the task, an inexperienced lust in her eyes.
Now only about an inch away from him from leaning so close her eyes slowly drifted up until she met his eyes.
She gasped and quickly stopped ripping away her hands "I am sorry!" she got to her feet and walked fast away from him.
What the hell just happened? She lost control, she didn't lose control. She wasn't like that, she never let her emotions beat her brain. What happened?
Mean while Silver just sat there dumbfounded, he had no idea what was going on with her either, meeting his eyes with her in that moment his whole body froze and he didn't even register her leaving.
When he finally came to she was long gone. All he could wonder was why did she run? Did he do something wrong? What even happened?
All these questions in his mind but no one to answer them. He was too afraid to talk to Blaze about it, what if he had crossed a boundary with his first aid and it made her not like him? Maybe he could ask Shadow?
He tried to shake the worries away but couldn't so he packed up the medical supplies and put them away feeling like thinking things over for now before asking possibly stupid questions would help.
So I feel like this is a semi ok spot to end, I wanted to get this particular chapter out because well…. I feel like if I didn't now I'd want to add more later and now that my trip is over I may lose track of time and take awhile so here's a new chapter for you guys out there.
Hope I'm still doing everything right and am up to par. Thanks for taking the time to read.
Live long and prosper
