Mercy: Chapter 2

AN: I wasn't planning on continuing this story but I thought, why not! This is the second chapter (Obviously) continuing on from where we left off.

Pulling her up he gently raised her till she was in a standing position, he looked her up and down. Several tears in her suit marked areas that had been affected by his attacks but as he looked closer he found nothing but scar tissue.

He had known before hand of their regenerative abilities, but it had only been when drawing Adam from a splicer, he could only conclude that they had an active supply that worked to fix damage done. As to where this supply was located he turned towards her left arm where a large vial of Adam had been fixed to the mechanism that had been attached there.

Noting her obvious discomfort at his treatment he, with his observations completed lowered into a standing position. Now looking up at him, they both locked gazes… or portholes, and they stood, neither making a noise or move before the sound of insane mumbling echoed around the corner of the concrete corridor they'd ended up in.

As the main passageway between the lower areas of Paupers Drop their battle had attracted the attention of the remains of the local Splicer population, it was one such member that had stumbled upon their 'moment'.

Groaning, sudden anger flaring within the Alpha Daddy he raised his drill only for it to splutter as the fuel gauge hit empty. Giving a surprised yell the splicer at the end of the corridor gave a panicked yell before its simple-mindedness prompted it to attack the angered Alpha.

Raising its pistol, a tiny revolver in comparison to the Daddy's size it fired clipping his armoured bulk and landing several shots, that last of which pierced the weakened area above his knee plate.

Roaring in pain Delta dropped to one knee, weakened by his recent battle with the Big Sister he groaned in pain as several remaining wounds from earlier reopened. Yelling triumphantly the Leadhead reloaded clumsily, using what remained of his wit to avoid dropping any of the brass cartridges.

Unknown to both the Leadhead and Delta behind the wounded giant a creature controlled by all means of mental conditioning was having an inner battle.

Thoughts plagued her mind as inner turmoil threatened to overtake her hardy exterior, Delta, the 'mindless' daddy that threatened not only the future of the family but the mother's daughter herself, had seen fit to spare her, conflicting views tore at the mental conditioning she had endured since childhood.

Yelling in triumph the splicer fired several more times, its aim was tightened and it managed to land several shots on the metal daddy's helmet, the fourth of which impacted the weakened glass of his porthole.

Shattering with a crack the visor's fluids broke free from their glass container and began to leak from the shattered glass. Groaning once more Delta fell backwards, the concussive force of the projectiles bringing on an overdue concussion.

"Not so tough aren't ya you tin shit!" The mad man said, insulting the wounded giant as it approached to finish him off. Raising it's pistol, the Leadhead was on the verge of finishing him off. If only the deformed freak's actions would cause any form of lasting effect on the Rouge Daddy.

But not to say it didn't hurt, and he would've rather avoided this encounter so soon after exhausting ammunition, fuel, hypos and medical kits fighting the Big Sister. A rumbling sigh escaped his crumpled form, his last thoughts pertaining to the Adolescent Gatherer he'd spared.

Now looking up at the barrel of a gun pointed directly down at him he felt himself slowly getting weaker and weaker, unable to prevent his death he was staring at the end of this life.

On the verge of pulling the trigger, the Leadhead let loose a panicked howl as a shriek like nails down a chalkboard tore through the immediate area, the source of which was no less than five metres away, a source which had until this point been ignored.

The sister had made up its mind, mutant man had to go, for he'd hurt daddy.
