Me: Welcome to Chapter Eighteen!

Antauri: My poor son…

Nova: He'll be alright.

Otto: If he can't see we'll help him see.

Sprx: And we'll get him a sight dog.

Gibson: He'll pull through this Antauri.

Antauri: I know. But it's my fault he's blind and…

Nova: And Chiro doesn't blame you. He knows you wanted to help but you had ton stop TV Monster first. He doesn't blame you for anything Antauri. I think he blames himself. Not just for his blindness but for the stress your under.

Antauri: It wasn't his fault…

Sprx: It was Old Bone Bags fault. Not yours or the Kid's; his fault!

Me: This is going to be in Gibson P.O.V. Since I haven't let him have the spotlight since Chapter Eight.

Gibson: Thank you Aunna.

Otto: Aunna doesn't own SRMTHFG!

Sprx: Read and Review.

Chapter Eighteen: Leading the Leader

I sat in the Command Center patiently. Today was my day to led Chiro, which I AM NOT happy about. I have to design Chiro's glasses and with me watching Chiro I couldn't do that.

I sighed. Antauri was supposed to have giving Chiro to me about thirty minutes ago. Was it really that hard to pick out Chiro's outfit.

They showed up a minute later, Chiro stumbling behind him. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Chiro had a nightmare last night," Antauri said. "He didn't get a wink of sleep last night. It took me a hour to calm him down. I'm sorry for the hold up,"

"It's okay Antauri," I said. "I'm going to take your hand now, okay Chiro?"

"Okay," Chiro said. I grabbed his hand and Antauri let go. Antauri gave Chiro a kiss on the check and looked at me. I nodded and smiled. He smiled back and left the robot, leaving Chiro and me alone.

"What do you want to do?" I asked. Since Chiro was blind we normally had to help him with activities.

"I want to sleep," Chiro said. "But I'm afraid the nightmare might come back," I looked at him and embraced him into a hug.

"Your safe now," I said. "That nightmare doesn't exist. It will never happen as long as we live,"

"That's the point!" Chiro shouted. I drew away from the hug. "In my nightmare all of you guys died and I was all alone and being chased by Mandarin. I couldn't activate the power primate and Mandarin caught me! He hurt me Gibson! He killed me in my dream and, before he killed me, said that he had killed you guys!"

Chiro's shouts had become sobs, tears streamed down his face. I held him close and muttered words of comfort and encouragement into his ears. Otto had told me two days ago Chiro looked at me like a uncle and it hurt me to see my 'nephew' like this.

We might have been like that for hours or minutes. I didn't care anymore. The only thing that mattered was Chiro. I needed to make sure my 'nephew' was alright.

The sobs stopped and I looked at Chiro. He had fallen asleep in my arms. I smiled and carried him to his room.

His room was surprisingly clean for once. I tucked him into his bed and sat in a chair. I knew that he might have another nightmare and will need comfort if that was the scenario. I was beginning to see what the others were seeing. They were seeing their little boy growing up slowly but still being the little boy they loved.

Chiro woke up screaming a few hours later. I held him close as he cried into my chest. He eventually stopped. "Feeling better?" I asked.

"A little," Chiro said. His stomach growled and I laughed.

"Let's get some lunch," I said, nuzzling his nose. Chiro smiled and we went downstairs to find everyone at the table. "I thought you all would be out all day?" I said in a questioning manner.

"Gibson," Nova said. "It's six o'clock. Otto's just finishing up dinner. I blushed and helped Chiro into his seat in between Antauri and Nova. I took my normal place next to Otto.

Otto came out with some chicken and salad. We all smiled and Otto served us. It was delicious. I even had a little bit of salad which was excellent. Chiro ate a lot that night and that worried Antauri. "Gibson," Antauri said.

"Yes Antauri?" I asked,

"What happened today?" Antauri asked.

"Chiro and I had a little talk," I said,

"It felt like hours," Chiro muttered.

"Chiro then took a nap," I said, ignoring Chiro's statement. "I guess it was so long that we forgot about lunch. Sorry Antauri,"

Antauri looked at Chiro. "Do you feel better with your nap?" Antauri asked.

"Yes Antauri," Chiro said. "I'm going to beat your butt in that new video game when my glasses are done Sprx!"

"No your not!" Sprx shouted back. It became a heated debate over who would win until Nova punched Sprx in the head. This caused massive laughter from Otto and Chiro. Chiro laughed so hard he started coughing. Then he couldn't stop coughing. I got out of my seat and went to check on him.

As I got closer I noticed he was coughing, he was choking. I quickly performed the Heimlich Maneuver and Chiro coughed up a piece of salad and a little bit of chicken. Antauri rubbed his back and took him to bed.

I rubbed my temples and went to my lab. I hadn't even started designing Chiro's glasses. But after today I had the perfect idea. The glasses should be finished in two days tops after this.

Antauri came in and smiled. "You know how Chiro prays right?" he asked.

"Yes I do," I said.

"He included you tonight," Antauri said. "He prayed that you get back at Sprx for all the times he called you Brainstrain and that this God he prays to sends a guardian angel to protect you,"

I smiled even harder. I finished the blue prints to the glasses and went to bed. I did something I thought I'd never do.

I prayed long and hard for my teammates. Especially for Chiro, my blind nephew.
