Chapter III

"Hey Auggy where does this bathysphere lead to anyway?" I asked him.

"It leads to Fort Frolic, that place is creepy as shit. Especially that Sander Cohen guy."

"Oooooooh is it like a haunted house! I like haunted houses! Do you like haunted houses Auggy?"

"No."

"Well then F**K YOU!" I yelled and entered the bathysphere. "I'm going anyway!"

Sinclair looked like he was thinking, then he sighed.

"Move over, I'd be guilty for weeks if I let you stroll on out of here by yourself."

"I knew you loved me!" I put him in a bear hug and nuzzled in cozily into his armor. He took his left hand and pushed me off of him by the forehead with one finger.

"No. I just know that your going to do something unfathomably stupid and if I'm not there to stop it we will all probably die. Besides, I have nothing better to do anyway. "

"…."

"….Works for me!" I pulled the lever that activates the bathysphere and sat on the cushioned bench inside of it. Sinclair sat all the way on the other side of the bathysphere. Why would he do that? Everybody knows its cold down here and one of the best ways to warm up is to share our body heat! So I slid over to his side and wrapped my arms around him. I wish I had a camera we look so cute!

"…Do you mind telling me what the hell you are doing?"

"Sharing body heat. Its cold down here."

"Um…I don't know if you noticed but we're stuck in atmospheric suits. We don't need to share body heat."

"Nonsense, Its still cold!" I nuzzled further into his armor.

"Um…I got to say that your really are making me uncomfortable." He then tried to slide over more but found that he could not because of…well the bathysphere wall.

"Can you please get off…umm…uh…wait, was is your name anyway?"

"The one, the only,….ELEANOR LAMB!" As I yelled out my name I pointed up towards the sky…well sea. I mean bathysphere hull, I mean… whatever I pointed up ok?

"Eleanor…Lamb?" he asked me. He looked kind of scared for some reason.

"That's my name, don't wear it out!"

"…"

"…"

"HOLY SHIT! I GOTTA GET OUTA HERE!" Sinclair for some reason went totally bonkers! He ran up to the front of the bathysphere window and started banging on it with his left fist. The window started to spider web crack.

"Auggy, what the fuck are you doing!" I yelled out to him.

"Oh hell nah, get the fuck away from me! Get outta my HEAD!" He lifted his drill arm and smashed it into the window. Water instantly flooded the vessel and we were sent crashing right into the sea floor. Using my teleportation plasmid, I teleported us onto the ocean floor safely before the vessel actually crashed. I looked to Sinclair.

"What the FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" I yelled out.

"What the hell is wrong with me? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME! I'll tell ya what's wrong with me! What's wrong with me is that your family has me under a mind control plasmid, that's what's fucking wrong with me!"

"But-"

"Nah, I don't want to here it. Get outta my head! GET OUTTA MY HEAD!" I took a piece of blunt metal from the bathysphere wreckage and smash it on the back of his helmet, knocking him out cold.

"Geesh, what the hell was he on about. Wait a minute, Eleanor think… Mind control, plasmid, family. That's it! My mother must have him under a mind control plasmid! That won't be to hard to get rid of though but first we need to get back into the city." I picked up Sinclair and carried him to the nearest airlock. I looked above the airlock at a neon sign that said…

"Pauper's Drop…AUNT GRACE!" I hurriedly entered the airlock and pulled down the lever to trigger the drainage systems. I couldn't wait to see Aunt Grace again! She was more of a mother to me then an Aunt really. My real mom is a bitch as you all know. As we walked into Pauper's Drop I set Sinclair down on the floor gently. A yellowish glob formed in my right hand and I threw it at him. That should get rid of my mother's influence on him, when he wakes up he'll be a free man! Well…free Alpha Series.

As I sat and waited for my Auggy to awaken I couldn't help but wonder. How will Aunt Grace react to him. Hell, how will she react to me! She isn't to fond of our kind but I have a feeling that we can change that. As Sinclair awakened I could tell that he was glaring at me.

"What the hell….wait a minute….no… voices."

"Your welcome."

"….You…got rid of the…"

"The mind control plasmid? Yeah, neat huh?" Sinclair ran up to me and put me in a crushing bear hug.

"I can't believe I'm saying this but…I LOVE YOU!"

"Nice to see that my feelings were returned." I said, a grin behind my helmet. He let go of me and stood in a healthy up right posture with his left hand on his hip. So…that's why they always stand and walk like zombies , its because of the mind control!

"Ok let's go see Aunt Grace."

"Grace? As in Grace Holloway?"

"Yeah, do you know her?"

"THAT BITCH KICKED ME OUTTA MY HOTEL!"

"HEY DON"T TALK ABOUT MY AUNTY THAT WAY!"

"Hey, where did you get that bat-OW!"

"That's what you get! My Aunty is not a bitch! Your sister is a bitch!"

"My sister is not a bitch!"

"Then how come she let me fuck her brains out last night?"

"You bitch!"

"You man whore who also has a sister that is a whore!"

"…."

"…."

"You know what I'm sorry for what I said. I didn't mean it."

"Yeah me to lets just get out of this hallway, is giving me an ulcer."

With that said we walked down the corridors of Pauper's Drop, not many Splicer's bothered us though us being at the top of the food chain and all. Although Sinclair's random elemental outburst's were wearing on my nerves though.

"CAN YOU PLEASE TURN THAT ELEMENTAL STORM OFF!" I yelled as I was frozen solid for the fifth time.

"Yeah I can, I just wanted to mess with ya."

"…."

"…."

"….."

"OW! Where the hell do you keep getting these things! A plug in coffee maker, really?"
