Miracle's head turned sharply to Frank from the slap. She brought a hand up and rested it on her now sore cheek. 'Okay, I think he is mad enough vith my sassiness...' She then looked at him. "Something Little and absolutely Precious is saved from you." she spoke up, quietly.
"Something little and absolutely precious..." Frank scratched his chin as he picked that up.
Miracle watched him ponder this wondering how long it would take for him to get it. She also knew that even if he figured it out he couldn't really kill her as then he'd never be able to find LP, ever.
"Okay... I'll make you a deal... Tell me the secret and I won't injure you..." Frank said in a gentle voice with a creepy grin. "Just tell me what I want to know..."
Miracle looked at Frank. What was with the creepy voice? She gave an almost smug grin. "LP is now safe from you" she said, her voice low and intense.
Frank got angry. "Safe from me? Why would she be away from me? I'm her father! Her mentor, teacher, lover, caretaker!"
Miracle put her hands on her hips. "No father is that mean to his child except a bad von! And she vas scared, no von should be scared of their parent!" she exclaimed, just as angry.
"I am not a bad father, I perfected my daughter!" Frank growled. "If I was such a bad father, YOURS must be even worse, he tried to kill me before you or LP were born and then LP brought me back to life! I perfected my child and you are nothing but an incestuous accident bound to happen!"
Miracle looked as if he had just slapped her again. She then set a glare worthy of Magenta AND Riff Raff at him. "Hurting and scaring is not perfecting someone! And so vhat if i'm created from incest at least they vere kind enough to save me from ridicule!" she screamed at him.
"Oh please, if Little Precious wasn't terrified of my parenting, she would be a disobedient, back chatty, sniveling little BRAT!" Frank snarled at her.
Miracle, seeing red, reacted like she had with the bullies. She pulled back her fist and punched Frank in the face. "LP vould've reacted even better vith love and kindness!" she snarled at him.
"I DO give her love and kindness, haven't you ever heard of tough love?" Frank rolled his eyes at her.
Miracle looked at him. "That is not tough love, that is abuse." she said, harshly.
"I am not a giver of child abuse, you little bitch!" Frank snorted. "I ought to report you to my mother, The Old Queen!"
Miracle looked at him. "Hitting, shouting, using excessive force, and using in twisted experiments" she started, "counts as abuse in most books!"
"Experiments?" Frank gaped at her. "I don't experiment on my daughter! I'm not a criminal!"
Miracle gave him a look that said 'in any society yes you are'. Plus she knew LP wouldn't lie to her. She flipped her hair from her face and glared at him. "Count yourself lucky my feet are stuck." she told him.
Frank darkly chuckled at her, pondering what to do with her.
Miracle glared at his dark grin. "Vhat are you grinning at?" she muttered, crossing her arms, she didn't want to think of what could be going through Frank's mind.
Frank went over to the bigger part of the Medusa thing and was about to turn Miracle into a full statue. "Say good night."
Miracle looked at him. "Vhat is that machine? Can you explain it before using it?" she asked, wondering if that would lengthen the time she had.
Frank groaned at her question. "Stupid girl..." he grumbled, then walked over. "If you must know, it's a Medusa transducer, it came make the victim into a statue and freeze and I'm able to control their thoughts and actions once I unfreeze them, like in a brainwashing matter. Once the victim is off my influence for a short while I'd say 10 or 15 minutes, they revert back to themselves but find themselves loyal to me."
Miracle nodded. "So, it's basically a brainvashing device?"
Back at the Majors house, Brad took the bowl and cloth away when LP was done.
"Thanks, Ass Hole." LP smiled.
Brad looked at her, and taking a non-violent route, just scowled. "My name is Brad."
"Can I call you ass hole?" LP tilted her head, finding amusement in annoying Brad.
Brad set a firm look and from years of practice with Miracle used his most firm and fatherly voice "No, you can't."
"What can I call you?" LP asked.
Brad looked at her still. "You can call me Brad,"
"Braaaaaaaaaaaad..." LP leaned over to annoy him. "My Daddy says between you and Janet, you're his favorite." She then noticed he had his mouth gaping open. "Oh, didn't you know before going to you, my daddy slept with Janet?"
"Th-that's not true!" Janet said nervously in defense. "Who wants some snacks, hmm?"
Brad nodded once, agreeing to Janet and the tensed up. "He did what!"
"Brad!" Janet cried with fright.
Brad looked at Janet. "I should've known he would do that." he scowled, slumping down in the chair, near the sofa.
LP pulled her knees against her chest and watched Brad and Janet argue. Brad's yelling frightened her, she clamped her hands on her ears as she nearly began to cry. She closed her eyes tight and had horrible visions in her head as they fought. "Please Daddy, stop yelling at me, it wasn't my fault!" she cried after Brad's voice was very threatening toward Janet.
Brad stopped when LP cried. He took a deep breath and then went and sat next to LP and pulled her into a comforting hug. She was Miracle's friend after all and Miracle had always been his little girl even if not by blood. Especially as him and Janet raised her.
LP looked up at his blue eyes and let out more tears and buried her face in his shirt.
Brad stroked her hair soothingly. "There, there." he murmured, softly.
"I knew it was a bad idea to go to that castle, but you didn't listen!" Janet growled.
Brad look at his wife. "Janet, settle down." he said with a firm, but calm voice.
Janet groaned and rolled her eyes, walking off as she wasn't the center of attention anymore.
Brad rolled his eyes at Janet's dramatics. He then continued fatherly comforting LP.
Magenta walked by Riff's side as they went to the TV Station. Rocky was following them. Magenta, due to them being quick, soon had led them to the TV station. Luckily the McKinley's were at the gate with a car. Nation was sitting on the hood of the car. Rocky looked between both sibling sets. He was flabbergasted by the similarities he could see.
"Riff Raff!" Cosmo cried.
"Cosmo!" Riff Raff replied.
Magenta scowled a little. "Ve don't have time for introductions, Miracle is in trouble!" she exclaimed.
Nation looked at her. "What?" she asked. "How?"
"Frank caught her as she was distracting him, so we could escape." Rocky said.
"Oh dear..." Cosmo put a hand to his mouth. "Thank goodness you came when you did."
Magenta looked at them. "Please, help us save her from Frank."
Nation nodded. "Okay."
Rocky smiled at her.
Nation led them to their car and got inside, opening the doors. "Get in."
'I vonder how ve can repay them if ve safe her', Magenta thought as she climbed in.
Rocky got in just before Magenta, so she would be between him and Riff Raff.
"I know we're gonna be fine, we got doctors with us." Riff smiled at Magenta.
"Trust us, we're doctors." Cosmo gave a creepy grin at the domestic and handyman.
Magenta looked out of the car, still sitting. "That doesn't freak me out!"
Nation was in the driver's seat. As soon as the others were in the the car she set off towards the old castle. Magenta squeezed Riff Raff's hand and Rocky looked out the window. Magenta's leg was shaking in worry, but Nation drove pretty quickly.
"Put some force into it, Nation!" Riff yelled at the female doctor.
"Don't yell at my sister!" Cosmo hissed.
Nation started to drive even faster.
Magenta gave Riff a kind yet warning look. Then she gave Cosmo one that was a bit meaner.
"You don't scare me..." Cosmo said in a shaky voice then looked back out at the road and shook a chill down his spine.
Magenta grinned, feral.
Nation hid a smirk. She pulled up in a spot close to the castle but far enough that they wouldn't be seen until they wanted to be.
Rocky jumped out of the car, scared from the driving.
"You wanna do what we did at his floor show?" Riff asked, jokingly.
"Here, this should show you mean business." Cosmo handed a gun.
Magenta looked at the gun and then looked at Riff. "Scare, not kill." She warned, after all, they would be executed if they killed, or even just hurt Frank.
Rocky ducked behind Nation at the sight of the gun.
"Where did you get the gun?" Nation asked Cosmo.
"Glove compartment." Cosmo replied as if they had asked him a stupid question.
Magenta looked at Cosmo and Nation. "Right, let's go and save Miracle." she said.
"Okay, come on then." Nation said, nodding.
Rocky went and led them to the castle. He opened the door and let the others in.
Magenta grabbed Riff's hand and pulled him through the shortcut to the lab. She slammed the door open as she got up there.
Nation followed behind, waiting for her cue.
"I'll... just wait here then..." Cosmo said uncomfortable as everyone else had gone off.
Rocky looked at Cosmo. "Aren't you going to help?" he asked.
Cosmo shrugged and decided to go along anyway.
Rocky followed him.
"GAH!" Frank jumped back in fright and surprise of Magenta.
Miracle looked at her mother and smiled.
Magenta glared at Frank, stepping aside to let Riff forward. "Let her go."
"Do it, do it now." Riff demanded.
"Maybe I should freeze you all and make you into dinner like a certain dope in my life!" Frank huffed as he grabbed the switch, about to pull it.
Magenta threw the shoe Nation handed to her at Frank's head.
Nation had only one shoe on now.
Miracle couldn't help the snicker that escaped her.
"The gun," Rocky gulped, quietly to Riff. He said it so Riff would at least point it at Frank.
"OWW!" Frank fell from the switch and growled at everyone from the room. As he got up, Cosmo and Riff ran to the switch and unfroze Miracle and froze Frank and now HE was glued to the spot. "HOW DARE YOU!"
"How dare you kidnap my baby girl!" Riff growled as he pointed the gun to Frank's head.
Magenta went and hugged Miracle. "Oh, my darling, did he hurt you?" she asked, pulling back to check worriedly over her.
Miracle nodded to her mother and then looked at Riff Raff. Her eyes widened at the anger in his.
Nation came over too. She then saw the way Riff was holding the gun and stepped over to be ready to calm the situation.
Rocky looked, kind of eerily calm, at Frank. "You hurt Little Precious, why would you do that?" he asked.
"She needs to be taught a lesson in listening me!" Frank growled whenever discussion came about raising his daughter. "Even if I had to swallow her whole to get back at her for leaving the house unattended or speaking to me without permission!'
"That's no excuse to harm your own daughter." Riff told him.
"Butt out, what would YOU know about raising children, you FREAK!?" Frank glared at him.
Magenta growled and tensed as if to spring at Frank.
Nation made sure to move Riff's arm so he wouldn't actually shoot Frank.
Miracle clenched her fists. She carefully broke free of Magenta's hug, passed the adults and grabbed Frank's throat. "That is my daddy you are talking to!"
Frank's eyes bugged as Miracle had her grip around him and he gagged, trying to free himself.
Miracle's eyes were cold. Gone was anger and was replaced by complete coldness.
Magenta looked worriedly at Miracle. "Sveetheart?"
Rocky looked stunned at the strength of Miracle.
Nation looked at Miracle and frowned. "Well Frank is stuck so maybe we should get Miracle and leave." she said, quietly to Riff, Cosmo, and Rocky.
Miracle continued to stare at Frank with the coldness. "Is this tough enough love for you?" she asks, her voice thick with some kind of emotion.
Magenta looked at Riff and tried to get to Miracle.
Rocky was so stunned he wasn't moving so it was hard for Magenta to.
Nation stepped back, after all this was a kind of close family matter.
"My mother raised my sisters and I with tough love, even if she had to punch them for threatening ME, their older brother! She told me they were bad, deceitful, and stole my makeup and clothes growing up!" Frank said, he was still angry, but he sounded a little more calmed down now.
The grip loosened a little but not too much. "That is no excuse, i mean if they did steal your clothes and makeup did you ever stop to think they vere looking up to you?" she asked him.
"Of course they'd look up to me, I'm smarter, stronger, more gorgeous, and superior and Mother always said I was her favorite child!" Frank praised himself.
"Well, if you vere the best then you can get yourself out of this." Miracle said, pushing his throat, but letting go so he should land on his butt.
Magenta saw what Miracle was doing and the mental image of how frank would fall made her snort.
Nation looked at Cosmo. "Are you going to ask them for something for us helping?" she whispered.
"What can we do?" Cosmo shrugged, glancing at the scene.
"How dare you!" Frank glared at Miracle.
Miracle just sent him the coldest look ever. One who looked at it would usually stiffen as if frozen.
Rocky went away, wanting to leave now LP and Miracle were going to be safe.
Magenta put a hand on Miracle's shoulder, softly. "Let's go, sveetheart."
Nation took his hand and pulled him towards the entrance of the shortcut. "Well, we'll let Riff Raff and Magenta bring Miracle out." she said, quietly.
"Aren't you gonna let me go!? My baby needs me!" Frank cried.
"No, not until you come to terms vith the fact you need to be kind, like a real father." Miracle says coldly and turns taking hold of Riff and Magenta's hands.
Magenta squeezed her hand gently.
Nation was following Rocky. She smiled at her brother as they reached the door of the castle. "I'm so proud of the way you were quick to help as you could." she told him.
Cosmo gave a smile and a thumbs up in agreement with Nation.
Nation chuckled at his reaction.
Frank couldn't believe he was treated this way. He thought about it for a moment and put his hands behind his back and bowed his head. "Fine... I'll be kinder to my daughter..." he gave in. "Not that she'll notice the difference."
Miracle turned to look at him. Her calculating gaze looked him over. "Make it an oath." she said. She wanted to be sure he meant it.
Magenta looked surprised at Miracle, if not for the explosive anger in bad situations she would make the perfect leader of negotiations.
"An oath? "Frank huffed, sounding exhausted and very uninterested at the moment. "What sort of an oath?"
"Do you, Frank Furter, svear on your own life that you vill be kinder to Little Precious Furter?" she asked him, holding out a hand out a hand; 1) to seal the oath and 2) to help him up after the oath was sealed.
Frank groaned and held up his right hand and kept his left hand down to his side. "I Frank Furter swear on my life that I will be kinder to my baby girl, sweet pumpkin, moon beam, daughter, Little Precious Furter..."
Miracle shook his hand. She then helped him up but the still cold eyes basically were showing that this was truly serious.
Magenta looked a bit impressed.
"She still needs to be taught lessons..." Frank clenched his teeth, squeezing Miracle's hand.
Magenta glared slightly at Frank when he made Miracle wince.
Miracle winced slightly at the tightening of his grip. "Yes but there are effective vays, like keeping in room for a couple of hours, no longer than that, or calmly talking to help her see that doing something bad is wrong" she says, knowing from getting told off by Brad and Janet like that. "And she is 16 so she does need a bit more freedom othervise you vill lose her" she added.
"Why do you think I keep here around here at all times?" Frank said and looked at Riff Raff and Magenta. "Why do you think I locked her in her bedroom when she was little and sent her to bed. If she got out, your parents would receive a whipping they wouldn't believe!" Frank darted his eyes at them.
"You shouldn't lock anyone in, and if you don't let her go out then she vill end up hating you," she told him. "And you don't need to punish others vith vhipping, you'll just make people vant to dispose of you from ruler ship and life" she narrowed her eyes.
"I... I had no idea... I... I've become my mother..." Frank gave in and let go of Miracle's hand. She was absolutely right about him. "My poor baby girl... No wonder she's so horrified to be in the same room with dear old Daddy..."
Rocky was waiting outside.
Nation smiled coyly, looking honestly curious. "So brother, do you have your eye on a special girl?"
"Erm... No, you're the only one for me, my dear sister and colleague..." Cosmo smiled and turned to Nation in a loving way.
Nation smiled at Cosmo, turning it a little sweeter. "I know you love me, Cosmo, but you need to find a nice girl to love in a different way than family love."
"Incest is a game the whole family can play, my dear." Cosmo gently joked.
Nation chuckled gently. "I know, but maybe brother and sister is a tiny bit far from us, I love you, brother, but that is just family love, I want you to be happy with someone not as close as me." she said softly. She wanted her brother to find a nice girl, not in close family at the very least.
Miracle's face softened. "You still have time to change that," she glanced at her mother. "Can you or Daddy let him go now?" She looked back at Frank. "It vill be hard, but I can see that you really do care for LP, so I know you'll be able to do it."
"Shall we fetch my darling bay-by?" Frank asked with a sincere smile.
"Just as long as you don't lay a hand on her unless you're giving her a pat on the back." Riff scolded.
Magenta came and took Miracle's hand. "Okay, let's go then."
Miracle gave a tiny smile to Frank. "Vhen ve get there, I'll go let LP know." she said, knowing it would be better for her or her mother or father to let LP know about the change.
"True..." Cosmo glanced at Miracle.
Nation looked in the direction of Cosmos glance and smiled. She hugged him, and to keep their situation light though still loving "Of course, I'm right, I'm always right." she gently joked.
"Sure you are, sure you are..." Cosmo chuckled and gently patted her on the head. He then smiled as Frank was released.
Nation smiled back. She then waited for the others to go first.
"I just hope my girl isn't mucking up about with those Earth monkeys." Frank crossed his arms. "Earth people are easy..."
Magenta rolled her eyes but walked ahead holding Miracle's hand still.
"Easy, in vhat vay?" Miracle asked, having never heard that expression before.
Nation smiled at the innocence of Miracle's question.
"We'll tell you when you're older." Frank chuckled darkly.
"Frank, please, that's my daughter." Riff cringed.
Magenta pulled Miracle away before Frank could scar her mind.
Miracle looked totally confused.
Nation rolled her eyes at Frank's lewdness.
Magenta soon had her outside.
Miracle looked at her mother. "Should I ask?"
Nation had followed. "No, dear." she told Miracle.
"Hey, my mother taught me when I was half her age!" Frank insisted.
Magenta nodded. "Exactly." She stated as it if it is obvious.
Miracle looked disgruntled. She saw the car and wondered where they would be sitting. "Who is sitting vhere?" she asked.
Nation looked and frowned in thought. "Well, I am driving." She said, as she was the slightly safer driver.
Magenta frowned, slightly. "Vell, von could go in the drunk and then the other could sit in somevon's lap."
Miracle nodded, still asking. "Okay, so vho's sitting vhere?"
Nation got in to let the others decide amongst themselves.
Frank eerily grabbed Miracle to sit on his lap, but Riff gave a disapproving look.
"Bad move, Furter." Cosmo scolded.
Magenta sent a chilling glare at Frank.
Miracle flushed from the contact, she had never sat on a man's lap, except as a young child when Brad read to her. But that was fatherly.
Magenta continued to look at Frank. "Are you going to let her go?" she asked, her voice deadly calm.
Miracle crossed her arms, anxiously awaiting to see what would be done.
Nation was in silent giggles.
"Fine..." Frank removed Miracle and laid back, crossing his arms. "Crimson red-headed bitch..." he grumbled under his breath.
Magenta glared at him. "Right, Riff and Cosmo can go in the back vith Frank, I vill go in the front and squeeze in vith Miracle, and I am afraid Rocky vill have to go in the trunk." she instructed.
Rocky shrugged, got out and got into the trunk.
Miracle gave a small nervous cough, still blushing.
Nation wiped her eyes, it was pretty funny.
"Maybe we should've taken a minivan like for soccer or bake sales like those weird mothers." Cosmo mumbled.
Magenta sat in the front and managed to fit Miracle next to her.
Miracle held her mother's hand.
Rocky was actually rather happy.
Riff smiled at Magenta and Miracle. "My two favorite girls..." he hummed.
Magenta smiled back at Riff Raff.
Miracle offered a shy smile to the people in the back, mostly her dad.
Nation set off once everyone was in the car.
