[A/N]: Yes, those things in italics that aren't in the song are like memory snippets so try not to be too confused.

You are my sunshine, my little sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
Iggy's pale eyes had closed as he listened to her soothing voice drift out the door. She was singing to the kids again. Iggy didn't mind, not at all. It was comforting to know they still had one trustworthy person in the entire world. They'd jump off a cliff - err, wait...another analogy (processing...) - they'd take a bullet for her. Iggy knew that. Iggy took a bullet for her once during a combat session after they learned how to walk. (They learned many things, walking, exercising their abilities. Max even picked up on the vulgar language of the frustrated White Coats!) It was painful and Max panicked but everything turned out okay. He smiled to himself, almost as if getting shot happened yesterday. He clearly remembered her shouts and her hands trying to slap him awake. She even gave him unnecessary (and unsuccessful) CPR. Not that he really minded anyway.
"Iggy! Please!"
"Hurry and get your skinny ass up!"
"Get up, Iggy! Don't just lay there y-you dumb log!"
He opened his eyes though he saw nothing in his dark vision.
You'll never know dear,
How much I love you,
Iggy smiled to himself remembering the days he could see. And Max was there in those days. After he became blind, Iggy was scared. So scared he never wanted to walk anywhere again. He hated hearing things he couldn't see. He hated the vast emptiness that was never really empty. But Max...Max took his hand in hers and told him that she'd be his eyes.
"I'll be your eyes, Ig. So don't be afraid. We'll get through this together, okay?"
And sniffling, he found the strength to smile. "Okay, Max."
She was well, his savior of a sort.
So please don't take my sunshine away
