Chapter 2: Magician's Despair and Athena's News
Magician still looks horrible and start crying her heart out. She was not in the mood to see anyone. Omega had picked up the crying sound and knows in his heart that was Magician. He opens Destiny door and saw what he did not want to see when he come back.
"Gwen," said Omega. Magician looks at Omega as he shut the door and locks it. Magician came running to Omega and hugs him tightly. Her tears were still falling off her face.
"Thank you for coming back," said Magician. Omega knows that something is wrong and holds her near him.
"It is ok I am back. I want to know why are you sad," said Omega. Magician knows in her heart she wanted to tell someone what is bothering her but Marone always took people away from her.
"Exactly two weeks ago my cousin Marone decided to drop by. I know her mother and her always treated me differently. Both of them says I should take after my father work and I can't have a life outside. I used to believe that. All that change when I left them and went to do what I wanted to do. I followed my mother and both my mother and father were happy outside of innerspace until the irregulars came I was forced back into my aunts hands and start all over that life. Till this day, my cousin thinks that I should stuck being single and never have a family," said Magician.
"Gwen that is a lie. You know that it will not happen like that," said Omega. Magician looks at Omega still in sadden face.
"That is not all. She almost got me fired from the museum and Illumina kind of watch the entire thing. I took all the blame and it started to take a toll on me," said Magician.
"Gwen it is ok. We can ask Athena to help you out and get you back reinstated to the museum," said Omega.
"Well she kept me there but both Marone and I are in probation until investigators check everything," said Magician.
"Well that is good. I know they will let you back," said Omega. Though he still notice Magician is looking down.
"Three months a go. Some guy had followed me. This guy is a human of brown hair and hazel eyes. He stalks me and harassed me. I run away but he kept following me. Once he got to a place where both of us are alone," said Magician as she started to cry, "He ripped my clothes and pinned me down. He also took his clothes off and …" Magician started to cry and Omega got the message. He is shock to hear this and angry at the same time. Angry at himself for not coming sooner, though he calmed down due to the fact that Magician is not well. Omega hugged Magician.
"It is ok. I swear I won't let anything happen to you anymore. I am going to keep this promise. I also won't let anyone preserver you or your child. If I have to help you raise your child then I will," said Omega. Magician looked at Omega with watery eyes.
"You," said Magician as Omega put his fingers on her lips. She just stared at him with her tears stop.
"Not another word. I will protect you even if it means me losing limbs and being in the scrap yard. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore," said Omega. Omega leaned toward Magician and gives her a kiss. Magician closed her eyes and embraced the kiss. It was something she had miss. She felt her sorrows just melted away from that kiss. Omega and Magician pulled back. Magician hugs Omega.
"I do miss you so much," said Magician. Omega wrapped his arms at Magician and holds her.
"I miss you too," said Omega. Magician did not want to let him go at all and for the first time in years, she is happy. Magician does not have tears anymore and was feeling much better since she talked to Omega. When Magician and Omega got to the door and open it, Marone is in front of the door smile.
"Hey there," said Marone as she smile at Omega. Magician knows that look and knows that her cousin is trying to get Omega away from Magician.
"Want me to show you the innerspace town. A lot of things have change since you left," said Marone. Omega looks at Magician and look at Marone.
"Omega meet my cousin, Marone Tahara," said Magician. Marone looks at Magician with a smile.
"I already met him cousin. Just right before he left the medical ward," said Marone.
"Nice to meet you. Sorry I have to rush out but I just promise Magician something and just want to keep it," said Omega.
"Oh, and you can't do that later," said Marone looking at Omega with one eye brow up.
"I have promised her when I come back she will be the first one who I want to talk to first," said Omega.
"I see. Well, you have time now don't you," said Marone. Destiny was around and shakes her head.
"Omega. Zero has few questions to you and Prairie want a report on your solo mission," said Destiny.
"I have a lot to catch up. Magician I see you later. I will see you around," said Omega. Omega was about to kiss Magician on the cheek and Marone started to pull on Omega.
"Come on lets go," said Marone. Omega did not have time to react and was dragged by Marone. Magician sighs.
"Well luckily, Omega has a one mind when it comes to the person he loves," said Destiny as she was grateful.
"Yeah. Axl is dumbfounded which Rider finds that funny. Harpuia is too serious for Marone. Zero always pushed her if she crosses the line which it is good but Iris finds my cousin a thief. She does not like Fefnir due to the fact he fights too much even though he is Chorus's Father. X passes her off all the time which I find funny. Berserker has this stupid look on him which is another hilarious moment. Dr. Marril likes her company and lord who knows what she does with him. I felt sorry for Girouette for the reason she likes him too much," said Magician as Girouette walks towards Magician and Destiny.
"Well I rather be with any female but Marone," said Girouette, "She is not my type and all she does is making a scene."
"That is my cousin for you. Hey Girouette, I have a question for you," said Magician.
"Ok what is it?" asked Girouette. Magician leaned back on the wall and look at Girouette.
"Have your or Laura have a cousin rivalry where one thinks that the other one is better in all ways," said Magician.
"My, our second cousin Darrel. He wanted my family to suffered and tries to sweet talk Laura. Laura always smacks him. Sure Laura and I are cousins and great friends. But we treat each other like siblings than anything else. Darrel have thought Laura is out of her mind but realize that she is watching for everyone in the family. Our family tree is pretty huge if you added who has the bloodline of Vent and who has Aile bloodline. We figured out that somewhere in the line our cousins have fallen in love with each other and started again. However, all of us decided who will keep guarding the biometals and who don't. The family only choose one but this time it is two. Laura decided to join me. However, our family has been in the front lines of the irregular hunt. Most of them died. Darrel still survive but most of his siblings and the rest of my cousins have died. It is only three of us left," said Girouette.
"So I am not the only one with a dysfunction family," said Magician. Girouette looks at Magician.
"I think that is the part that most humans has that reploids may or may not have. We always have at least one member in the family that is not cooperating with the others," said Girouette.
"Well I know that Rider, my sister, Dynamo, and myself has one member that put that term to us," said Destiny, "Most can say that our three is evil in a certain degree."
"Well, we all have some point that we call them evil. But most families are not perfect. If they are families that are perfect, then we would want to take notes off of that family," said Girouette.
"Well I will ask Athena if she wants to go with me shopping for baby clothes," said Magician.
"Ok good luck," said Destiny. Girouette looks at Destiny with a serious tone to his voice.
"Can you read my fortune?" asked Girouette as Magician left the hallway and towards Athena's house. Most people do not bothered with the noise of crashing and breaking of stuff. Magician knows that Fefnir is the one breaking stuff if not burning something. Magician knocks on the door.
"Give me a couple of seconds," said Fefnir. Magician sighs as she waited. Fefnir open the door to his surprise Magician was at the door.
"Magician. What a surprise to see you?" asked Fefnir. Magician looks at Fefnir and hope that Athena was home.
"Can I come in?" asked Magician. Fefnir has a huge smile since he haven't seen Magician out of her apartment.
"Sure come in," said Fefnir. Magician walks in and Fefnir pulled a seat in front of her.
"Thank you," said Magician. Athena wondered who come in and it was a surprise to see Magician was at her house.
"Magician. It is a surprise to see you what brings you here," said Athena. Magician sighs a little.
"Well I just want to tell you that Omega has came back. Since last night. I just wanted to tell you that," said Magician. Fefnir was shock to hear that but then give that reploid some props.
"So he came back. I take it he does not know all the things have happened. Like Phantom and Strider are married ninjas. Fefnir and I are engage," said Athena.
"You are???" asked Magician. Fefnir was quiet on the back tries not to hear the conversation as he was turning red.
"Oh, yeah he asked me since two days ago. I haven't told anyone yet," said Athena.
"Congratulations. Harpuia have asked Leviathan two weeks ago. Though I think it is a rumor," said Magician.
"I would not be surprise. Harpuia takes his sweet time asking Leviathan out and I know he took his time again to ask for Leviathan for her hand and marriage. Knowing him, Harpuia's wedding will be way after mine. And probably any other couple's wedding," said Fefnir.
"So do you have a date when we are going to be married?" asked Athena. Fefnir blush and smile.
"Let me find a perfect date and we will get married on that day," said Fefnir as he blushes. Magician was shock to see Fefnir blush.
"But yeah he does not know all of those current events. All he knows what happen to me three months ago," said Magician as she look sad. Athena knows that is not a good sign.
"Oh yeah that. Does he know you are pregnant?" asked Athena. Fefnir has an anger look now as he still wants to know which human has done that to Magician.
"Yes he does. Though he still wanted to be near me and is willing to raise the child as if it was his own," said Magician.
"That is good. He is a strong person if does that," said Athena. Fefnir was not surprise that he stands up and be a man.
"If he keeps it up, he will ended up being like me," said Fefnir. Athena looks at him.
"And what that supposed to mean," said Athena in an angry sarcastic tone. Fefnir looks at Athena.
"Meaning he will do things like holding the child, feeding it, change its diapers and loving it," said Fefnir.
"As well as being the grocery slave, staying up all night, getting puked everywhere from the child, and the taxi driver if the child is sick," Fefnir thought.
"Oh the father jobs," said Magician. Fefnir shakes his head and has a tad fake smile.
"Yeah, the father jobs," said Fefnir as he did not want to show Magician and Athena his true feelings.
"Father jobs alright. Whatever Athena cracks the whip on me," Fefnir thought as he started to walk into a room.
"Hey Fefnir have you finish installing the crib already?" asked Athena. Fefnir looks at Athena.
"No but I am going to finish it today," said Fefnir, "I need to find what language they put this thing in and get it started."
"Well I need to leave and get more clothes for Chorus," said Athena. Fefnir was happy to hear that and hoping she takes Chorus with her.
"Oh I forgot Chorus is at our room," said Athena as she was got up and went to the halls. She finds Chorus having one of the bolts to her crib in their room. Athena grabbed the bolt and hold Chorus.
"Oh no you don't sweetie. That thing is yucky," said Athena. Chorus, a light complex human girl with green eyes and red hair, makes some baby noises.
"Well I might as well take Chorus with me. I have a stroller so at least I can pick something out," said Athena.
