She glared at the hardened mass encasing her arm. She glared at it with all the viscousness the world had ever produced. Her lip curled slightly as if she wanted to growl, but she wouldn't let herself stoop that low. But you could tell, oh, you could tell... she wanted nothing more than to rip it off faster that his feet could move. And he was scared of it. He was scared of the hurricane of thoughts that strung through her head. He was terrified, but at the same time...

He had never felt so safe.

She couldn't go out there. Not now. Not for a while. He didn't have to look over his shoulder every second to make sure she was holding her own. Not to say that he thought she couldn't, not at all! He just... couldn't help it...

"I'm useless."

Record scratch. He tore his eyes up from the floor, back up to the glaring eyes that belonged to her. "What?"

"I said, I'm useless."

"Where'd you get that idea?"

Her glare turned up to him. And he was certain that her stare was even deadlier than the mallet- "I can't wield it. I can't do anything! I can't fight, all I can do is stand back and watch now. Don't you see?"

"Ames, come on, that's not true."

"Yes, it is true, Sonic!" She held up the casted arm, "Look at me. I'm not like you! Your main weapon is your legs... mine is... in my arms... I can't swing my hammer with one arm." Her glare fell back to the arm, cradling the broken limb with her other hand. She actually looked fragile for a second, but the glare immediately stepped back up.

"That doesn't make you useless." He noticed her glare soften a bit. "Listen to me. To me, you're not like the rest of the group. And yes, you're especially not like me. We all have our jobs off the battlefield. Tails is the brains. Knuckles protects the Master Emerald. And Shadow... well, Shadow has a full time job of being Edgy McEdgerson."

That's one got a giggle out of her.

"What I'm saying is, sure, you can't step onto the battlefield for a coupla weeks. But that doesn't mean you're useless."

Her eyes rose to him once again, the darkness gone, and only a bright shade of Jade left. "Thanks... Sonic..."

He winked, "No problem."

HEYYYYYYY. I have plans. I promise, I have plans. But... it'll be a while. But I've had this kind of stuck in my head, and I needed to get it out... and this doesn't HAVE to be shippy or anything, I just thought it was a cute idea. Whenever a character has a broken limb, it's usually Sonic, with a leg. But seriously, it's just as easy for Amy to break her arm, just saying. XD
