Author's Note: Hey everybody… I'm back for another chapter finally. Just as a reminder, I realize that Otto is kind of severely OOC. I know this very well, I don't mind the reviews, But I find it kind of tiresome to those who constantly disregard the fact that I have stated the Otto is going to be OOC. But anyway, I'm back for another chapter. Rating: Well they changed the system, but this is an R fic because of the content. I strongly advise that if you cannot handle the subject matter than to stop reading.Disclaimer: Well you all should know by now… Amber is mine however.
Angel of Darkness, Angel of Light
By Crys Skywalker
Amber awoke first, noticing that Otto was still very much asleep. She gently moved off of him making sure he didn't awake. Looking at she noticed the scars, but mostly she could tell prior to the incident, he wasn't sleeping well. The rings under his eyes really proved the lack of sleep. He curled tighter into the chair leaning back more in the recliner. He snored a bit, letting Amber know he was still asleep. Adjusting to her surroundings, she realized that she was only asleep for about an hour, so she was satisfied that Otto remained in a peaceful sleep. She stepped away quietly looking for something to do. MJ was in the kitchen cleaning the mess.
"Hey MJ, where's Pete?" Amber asked leaning on the door jam. MJ jumped and looked behind her. Grabbing at her chest she started laughing lightly.
"I swear girl you should have been a ninja. Don't sneak up on me. I didn't even know that you were awake. Pete left for work he'll be back. So is this you're day off more or less…" MJ replied. Amber nodded looking absolutely bored. MJ looked at her knowing she was up to something. Being a genius, boredom will hit her easy and then the trouble follows her. Amber smiled and walked over to her bag. She grabbed her tools and headed to the guest room.
As she entered, the last remaining arms that were active moved and went to defensive mode. She looked and smiled. Otto always very thorough in his work. The AI was still working fine, but the two other arms were smashed and broken.
"Hi boys…. Otto is asleep, you mind if I fix you up. Otto might want you back to normal." Amber spoke softly as she patted one of the arms. The arms seem to accept her, so she sat down and began to pull out her tools.

You are so worthless. Look at you sitting there. Are you going to cry Otto, proving to me how pitiful you really are.
Father, no. Don't do this to me. I'm scared. I need someone that will love me.
Love, when did you deserve that. Look at your mother, the wench that brought you into this world. You don't need love, she gave it to you and you walked away.
No… father I didn't abandon her. I love her. She's my mom.
Yes you did, and look now here you are crying wanting protection.
No. No. I'm not weak… I don't need protection.
But I s-s-strive on your f-f-f-fear Otto Octavius…
Oh god, no… Stay away from me. I don't want you to touch me.
O-o-otto you f-f-feel s-s-s-so-o-o good, you taste v-v-very s-sweet. Eddie want's you to f-f-feel his love.
NO! NO! I DON'T WANT THAT… PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM ME. I DON'T LIKE YOUR TOUCH… NO MORE… PLEASE… I BEG YOU….

MJ heard thrashing around from the living room. She went to check on Otto, who was in the middle of a nightmare yet again. Tears feel from his eyes that were clenched shut. He wasn't awake yet, but the sobbing could be heard through the tiny apartment. She gently moved strands of his inky black hair away from his face. Tenderly she tried to get Otto out of his slumber.
"Otto, honey it's okay. You're safe. Please wake up…" she rubbed his arm trying to wake him. Finally he awoke with a scream. Then came the sobs. All he could do is cry. Terror quaked through his body. He wanted to feel safe, but his mind would let it go. MJ pulled him into a gentle embrace, as his crying increased.
"No… No more…. I don't want the pain. Please make it stop." Otto sobbed wildly. He pushed MJ away as hard as he could and ran to the guest room. Even though Amber was in there fixing his arms, he ran into the closet and slid the door shut. His crying and curses could still be heard loudly. MJ walked into the room checking on both Otto and Amber.

Amber was almost done when Otto, sobbing wildly, ran into the closet. She saw the tears that washed his white fear ridden face. It was another nightmare and seemed as bad as the ones MJ explained to her. The arms responded to Otto's cries, wrapping themselves around her in fear. Amber guess that Otto wasn't the only one that was severely effected by the traumatic event. Even his "smart" arms acted unreasonable toward people other than Otto. She stood up unsure of what to do, as the sobbing soul slowly quieted.
The arms gradually released the death grip they held on Amber realizing that she was going to help their creator. Whimpers and sniffles could be heard behind the shut closet door. Gently Amber opened the door. There in the corner some squeezing all of his weight into said corner, Otto cried in his hands. He was hiding from a world that despised him in showing any emotion. He was scared like he was a little kid again.
MJ walked up to Amber and gently laid a hand on her shoulder, with a sad smile handed her the teddy bear that Otto held onto at breakfast.
"He needs this to calm down, right now he doesn't see us, just the abuse." MJ replied. Amber nodded as she took the toy. "Pete told me that Otto hinted a long time ago that his family didn't treat him well. There is a possibility that he regresses when he suffers any trauma. That is why Pete and I are watching him. That and the fear that the authorities my take advantage of his unique situation."
"No kidding, a supervillian raped… yeah anyone would love to get their hands on him." Amber cynically replied. She held out the plush to Otto. He looked at her warily. Then from nowhere Amber laid on the ground having troubles breathing, as a sobbing large man tackled her for dear life. Otto shuffled around so Amber could breath again, but refused to let go.
"I will let you be." MJ smiled as she left the room.
TBC…
