Hi again. Jaw finally stopped hurting, so I'm getting some stuff posted.
Once again, kinda short, but I'm starting to get writer's block...HATE when that happens...
I don't own Portal. Enjoy!
GLaDOS moaned, rubbing at her head.
"Huuu-uurts…!"
Chell was beside her in a few seconds, her hand placed on GLaDOS' arm comfortingly.
"Come on, lunatic, we have to go…" the former-AI muttered.
GLaDOS swung her feet over the side of the table, then hopped off.
And immediately collapsed across the floor.
"Owowowowowow!" GLaDOS whined, rubbing her forehead.
Chell half-dragged the woman back to her feet, supporting the vast majority of her weight.
"Hey! Be careful with me! Urg…this body's muscles are weak from not being used…I can't walk…"
Chell raised an eyebrow skeptically, then dropped to a knee and picked GLaDOS up piggy-back style.
"H-HEY! What are you doing? Stop that right this-…oh, you're carrying me. Well, I suppose that will work…" Chell began walking toward the door, throwing a last look at her weighted companion cube.
GLaDOS noticed this.
"Wait. There's something that I need to do. You just reminded me. Take me over to that control panel…" Chell obeyed.
GLaDOS typed in a password, pulled up a small black dialogue box in the center of the screen, and began typing in code.
A few seconds later, panels began shifting.
"Blue? Orange? Come in here for a minute…"
A tube descended from the ceiling, and as Chell watched, two robots tumbled out.
One was tall, and looked like a turret with arms and legs. (Which was enough to make her shudder – the immobile ones were bad enough...) and the other reminded her of Wheatley a bit, with a blue optic set in a round casing.
She felt a small twinge as she thought of her once-friend-once-enemy, now out in space, but couldn't figure out whether she wanted to see him again because she missed the little idiot, or because she wanted to punch him for all the trouble he'd caused her...
GLaDOS glanced over her shoulder, trying to look at the robots, and gave a slight tug to Chell's hair (I am not a horse! *glare*) to make the girl turn around.
"Blue. Orange. I have a new task for the two of you. You are to explore the deepest regions of the Aperture Science Facility, and bring this companion cube with you. You are NOT to let anything happen to the cube, and NEITHER of you are to get yourselves broken, is that clear? The reassembly stations will be offline for a while, so if you break, you're going to stay broken."
The two saluted, running over to pick up the cube, and then leaped down a chute that GLaDOS opened in the floor.
There was silence for a second, then GLaDOS closed the chute.
"There…that should keep them away from Black Mesa until I can get this mess straightened out…now leave through that door over there, and follow my instructions…"
Sorry, that's all I've got right now...
Anyway, hope you liked it, please review, and have a happy and safe New Year!
