AN BTW IDK why, but I like to play with Glitchs heritage
**Raw**
My first mistake, I realized looking back was when I started to care. I should never have stayed. But the waves of fear and confusion coming from DG mingled with her kindness and hope in such a tantalizing ebb and flow of Light. Of Life. Love itself was never so sweet as this girl and her trust in her strange companions.
It drew me in. And I wanted to see the other two for who they really were.
Cains tough facade ran deep. But under it was Love, Hope and Honor. How much of DG he could read, I still don't know. But he sensed something about her. And decided to help.
The 'Tin-man' was Completely obtuse about the 'headcase.
He saw the zipper on Glitches head and nothing else.
Granted, Glitch did hide his shy reserved nature under a constant stream of chatter. But he was loyal to the core. And there was a subtle courage there. The wiry Brunette didn't need a badge or gun to prove he was tough.
It didn't take long before DG saw through their exteriors to who they were.
She neither knew nor cared of their shortcomings in the past. She accepted any help they could give.
She accepted them.
And me.
And fool that I am I stayed. I hung onto DGs every word, learned to tune out Glitch, and help take care of Cain. Try to comfort him when he lost his wife and son. Again.
They were my friends.
My clan.
My Family.
And I was stupid enough to accept that.
And stay with them.
Now Glitch had his brain back. He was miserable. Ambrose, as a Direct descendant of Glinda was some sort of Immortal being. He couldn't feel certain emotions. Love, hate and hope were all lost to Ambrose.
He paced frantically all hours. I sighed heavily.
As his friend, I had to help him. Damn.
I didn't even bother knocking, I just barged right in.
Ambrose looked up and smiled "Raw!"
"Ambrose" I growled.
"Can you just call me Glitch?" Ambrose asked.
"Not Glitch. Ambrose." I hate speech. We viewers use very few spoken words. We use Heart-talk. Its much easier. You just feel
"Glitch mortal. Ambrose not."
"Yes. Apparently, when they pulled out my Cerebrum, they pulled out a strange anomaly on my Pituitary that isn't found in human brains. It Pumps chemicals directly to the Neurotransmitters Shutting off certain emotions thereby..."
I tuned out. Cain was right. Ambrose was no less talkative than Glitch.
"...And now I▓ve gone and hurt the princess-DG" He continued in a more agitated fashion.■ But what can I do? Live a lie? She doesn't deserve that! She deserves someone who can love her! Even If-"
Ambrose stopped and took a great shuddering breath. Pain radiated from him in blinding hot waves.
"Even if its not me" He finally choked out.
"Ambrose does love!" I wondered vaguely if he could feel my shock.
He could definitely hear it.
"But I can't! I want to! But I can't! Have you ever been in love? Its wonderful! Like every things good and the bad stuff doesn't matter. You can feel like you can do anything, skip up mountains if you wanted to. And would if she asked. Just to have someone look at you like you re the only person in the world to ever matter." He finished breathlessly then slumped into a chair. "And now its gone. I cant ever get it back. Id give anything-" He jumped up. A feeling that tasted suspiciously like hope swirled around his heart as he rushed out.
"Thanks Raw!" He waved cheerily
As he disappeared down the hall, I realized my first mistake.
