"I...why...why are you helping me? I haven't helped you and you...you saved me"
English
-
"I don't do much around here. Mostly help people. You needed help, so I did my job. Plus, your brother was super nice to me, even though I hated him at he time."
-
"Why did you hate Alex?" She asked quietly, trying to move her legs a little
-
"I was... I was different. I used to be scared of everyone, terrified. He hugged me. I used to not do well with contact."
-
"Oh.....I.....You scared me because you reminded me of those people that....that....well....I used to be a normal girl....then.....then there was a fire and I was hurt, they took me away in the process and turned me into this....then started opening me up, and taking parts away...like part of those horns and my left eye"
-
"Hmm... I could help you with the eye. I can replace it for you."
-
"really? Y-you aren't joking? Same color and everything?" her right eye lit up, and you noticed something odd about it that was similar to Alpha's, the pupil was a deep shade of violet, like Alpha's iris was blue, and his pupil was deep azure
-
"Yeah. Might be a little hard to do the unique coloring work, but I can do it. It'll glow a little in the dark, though. Is that fine?" [b]Ry was happy to help Beta. After how nice Alpha was to her, it seemed like the least she could do. She was always looking to use her skills, anyways.[/b]
-
"that's.....frankly that seems a little cool, does that apply to both or just the one?"
-
"Just the one I'm applying. Oh, and you might have to do some maintenance on it. Depends how the operation goes."
-
"Like come on for a check up every now and then? Don't I have to do that for my legs too?"
-
"With the legs the checkups would be more like tuneups. The eye will be synthetic, but it won't be mechanical."
-
"Okay, that works I guess"
-
"Cool. When do you want me to do the operation?"
-
"when you think it's best, you are the doctor after all"
-
"Let's wait a few days, alright? It'll be good for you to rest a bit first."
-
She nodded, leaning back against her pillow, sighing in relief "thank you....but when can I walk again? C-can I ever run again?"
-
[b]Ry puts on a warm smile. She walks to the other side of the bed, and crouches down to look Beta in the eyes.[/b] "You're going to do everything else you could before. I'm just gonna have to give you some physical therapy, your legs aren't used to the metal in your legs now."
-
"T-thank you, really" She looks at her, grateful and with a small smile on her face
-
"It's no problem. I'm just doing my part."
-
She nodded, and sighed, tired. This whole thing took a lot out of her, and she was more worn than she had felt since......well, she'd rather not go into her time as a lab rat
-
"Now, listen, if you want to talk, tell me, okay? About anything. I know it must be tough, not knowing where Alex is."
-
"I....I'm scared, I....I think he's dead or worse, that man is.....doing unspeakable things to him, like.....like they did to me" she said with a whimper
-
"Who was the man? Give me a name, Beta. I can tell you if he's in trouble or not."
-
"I don't know! I wish I did but I don't know! it was some cowboy.....drew his gun faster than anything He mentioned Alpha's crew, so maybe that's why?"
-
"Alpha's crew... Think I heard if it. Arrowhead, I think it's called. Know a guy in it, I'll ask if they know about a cowboy. Would that help?"
