Part 2: New Beginning

The bathysphere was sitting on top of the surface, on the outside of it, there were two forms lying on the top of the sub. There was a silence all through the air, only to be broken by a few faint sounds. The sounds of sorrow.

Delta was lying on his back, as he held his daughter to him, trying to hold on for a few more moments. Eleanor had her head on his chest, gently clasping her father's arm. She had been lying there on Deltas chest for what seemed like hours, but in reality was only a faint few moments, but she didn't care about time anymore. There was what appeared to be a small puddle forming on Deltas chest, for Eleanor had been softly weeping the entire time. She was listening very closely to his heart beat, which was slowing by the second.

Almost out of nowhere, footsteps were heard on the metal floor, coupled by the sound of dripping on the metal. Eleanor slowly lifted her head up, never taking her hand off of her fathers, and turned to see what it was. What she saw brought a shocked and slightly angered look to her face. It was Sofia, her mother, she was standing at the front of the open latch on the outside of the door, she was dripping with the cold sea water. Her body was pointed in their direction, but she did not look at them, her face was fixed firmly to the floor, with her hands behind her back.

Eleanor stood up very slowly, gently letting go of her father's hand and placing it on his chest, and turned to look at her mother. Delta could barley lift his head up, but he managed to do it, and saw Sofia. The man in the suit was unsure what to think of this woman, for he knew that she and Eleanor would be alone soon, for he would soon be gone from this world soon. Eleanor just stood there, glaring at her mother, for she had caused all of the pain that her father and she had endured.

Sofia slowly lifted her head up, knowing what she was going to be facing. She looked her daughter in the face, and she saw the look that Eleanor was giving her. It was that kind of look you get from someone, when you know you've done something wrong and they know it all too well. But the look on Sofia's face was all to different, one of remorse and sympathy, and she slowly approached her daughter. "Eleanor" said Sofia in a voice of guilt, "it may not mean much as an apology to you or Delta, but please take these and help your father" she said, as she took her hands from behind her back, revealing to needles filled with strange substances.

The first needle contained a fluid with a very light pinkish color. The second one contained a lime green colored fluid. Sofia handed them to her daughter, turned and then walked away to the side of the vessel, still looking very depressed and guilty. Eleanor took the vials in hand, unsure of what her mother had given her. She walked to her father side, kneeling beside contemplating what to do with these substances. Unsure if her mother was trying to kill her father fast, or something else, Eleanor looked down on her father and took his left hand in hers.

Delta looked up in silence, watching his daughter look down on him with a look that said I don't know what to do. He could feel his heart beating, it was slowing down rapidly. He felt Eleanor reach down and grab his hand, thinking she was trying to hold it one last time. The next thing he knew, his hand was being lifted upwards. He gave out a very weak confused groan, as Eleanor took out a needle and placed it in his IV tube.

Before she pushed down on the needle to inject the fluid, Eleanor said to him "Father, if this does anything to harm you farther, please forgive me." Closing her eyes, Eleanor injected the pink fluid into Deltas blood stream. Immediately expecting the worst, Delta closed his eyes, as his vision blurred for a short moment, thinking the broken bond was finally going to end him. But, it seemed as if things were not leading him to death, as it he could fell his heart starting to pick up a very slight bit.

Eleanor then injected the green fluid into his arm, that was the turning point. Delta felt a strange feeling go through his body, but strange in a good sense, like his body was restarting all over again. He could fell the wounds on his body slowly starting to mend themselves. He could fell his breathing start to pick up, his heart was at a normal rate again. Delta felt some of his strength returning to his body, and he carefully pushed himself up into a sitting position.
