Mr. Virgil Afton

A smile showed up on Virgil's face as he pulled Ballora from her tracks and did his best to carry her to the vent.

Despite only coming for Ballora, Virgil had noticed the other animatronics that were lying around in Ballora's dance studio. He had made the quick distinction to level Ballora in the control room and climbing back into the studio.

He carefully stepped around all the candles and crouched down in front of a pair of Minireenas. "Hey, you two awake?"

The two animatronics quickly sprang to life and looked at Virgil. "Lobit!" The pair exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah, hi. Did you guys wanna come up to the surface?"

"Yeah! Yeah!"

"Alright, then you're going to have to power down so I can carry you two."

"Okay!" The two excitedly shut down in deep sleep, allowing Virgil to pick them up and whisk them away with Ballora.

Virgil and Michael had finally gotten home after Virgil's little adventure. The pair took the 3 animatronics that were taken to a workshop that Michael had set up in a room just off the garage. Virgil set Ballora onto a large metal table while Michael set the Minireenas on a separate table.

"Hey Mike, do you mind if I go shower? I think I'm just gonna go home after breakfast tomorrow." Virgil asked as he turned to his little brother who was standing over his main work-table.

"Go shower, I need to see if I have the blueprints for these guys." He scratched the back of his neck and glanced up at Virgil who game him a smile.

"Alright, don't stay up too late." Virgil moved to the door, wanting to leave the cluttered room.

"I'll try!" Michael called as Virgil left the room.

Virgil walked through the living room to find Henry asleep on the couch and Bella playing with redhead boy while her older brother was looking at his phone. "Who are you?"

The three looked up at Virgil and the red-head gave him a small smile, "Uh, I'm Ezekiel, but just call me Zeke. I'm Michael's boyfriend. You're Virgil right?"

"Yeah, uh well it's nice to meet you. Mike's in his workshop if you need him."

Zeke nodded before going back to playing with Bella.

An hour and a half had gone by and Jeffrey had already taken himself and his sister to bed. Virgil had also gone to bed and so had Henry. Zeke decided that now would be a good time to check in on his boyfriend, so he got up and shut the TV off before making his way to the workshop.

He knocked on the door and opened it, "Love?"

Michael looked up from a now dismantled Ballora and took the screwdriver out from between his teeth. "Hey Zeke!"

"Well aren't you happy to see me." He walked further into the room, shutting the door behind him.

"Obviously I am."

"I'm happy to see you too. Why don't you take a break for the night though. It's really late, and you need a shower love." Zeke smiled and walked towards Michael.

"No, no, I'm fine. I still got a lot to do."

"Which you can do in the morning." Zeke noted as he got closer to him.

"But-"

"No buts, we are showering together and then going to bed." Zeke said to Michael as he pulled the screwdriver from his hand.

In the morning, Michael came back downstairs to work on the animatronics. It was about 8 am by the time he'd grabbed breakfast and headed to his workshop. He opened the door and flicked on the lights. He sat down his breakfast at his workbench before picking up the list of parts he'd scribbled down the night before. Michael ended up having all the need parts and he had begun the repairs almost immediately, taking about 10 minutes to eat.

Michael ended up working on Ballora for a few hours before someone came to find him. Little Bella had been the one to peak into the room looking for her uncle. By this time, he was installing the last part and was going to begin the programming part of the project.

"Uncle?" She murmured out, not wanting to be too loud.

Michael looked towards her and waved her into the room. "Hey kiddo what's up?"

"I just wanted to come check on you." She shut the door and walked over to him, sitting on a neighboring stool.

"Well, I'm almost done with Ballora. I just have to finish up their program." He turned his laptop towards her before going back to programming.

"Can I help with anything?" She mumbled as she began rubbing her hands.

"Can you go grab me two of hologram devices in that bin over there? And then I need you to grab all of these parts." He quickly scribbled down the parts he needed and handed it off to Bella who quickly rushed to get what he had asked for.

After another 1 to 2 hours, Michael was done. He'd redesign, repaired, and reprogrammed Ballora. He also had build a splicer to split the two souls from the animatronic, allowing them to roam separate(think firestorm from the Arrow-verse).

With Bella sitting on a stool nearby, he powered on Ballora. While it did take a moment for her system to fully process her new programming but once that was done, she turned on.

"Michael! It's so wonderful to see you again. Look how much you've grown my Chico."

"Whoa! That's awesome! There's two different voices!" Bella exclaimed as she hopped down from her stool.

"That's cause there's two different souls in there."

"I didn't even know you could do that," Bella stood close to Ballora and smiled at her, "Hi I'm Bella."

"Hello Bella, is she your daughter Michael? There's no way this dear child is Michael's, she looks like... Looks like who Lora? You're Harley's daughter aren't you? And you're father, he's the Valaska boy, Jerome if I remember right."

"Yeah, that's my mama and papa. Though I haven't seen mama in a while. How do you know my parents?"

"Lora is my mum, she's also Virgil and your mum's mum."

"Aah! Jeffrey is gonna wanna meet you! Can I go get him uncle?" Bella bounced on her toes with an extreme amount of excitement in her eyes.

"Not yet, I gotta attach these first."

"What are those Michael? Yes, Clara is right. What are those?"

"This a splicer, it will split your souls apart and allow you two roam freely and be made of solid matter. Just make sure you return to Ballora before you sleep." Michael then attached the splicer to Ballora and turned it on.

All motion made by Ballora ceased as two women who look horrid and very much dead appear in-front of Ballora on the ground. Michael was quick to put a necklace with the hologram device around each of their necks before clicking the button in the middle of it.

"Mum?" Michael called to a woman who had long straight blonde hair.

The woman open her eyes to reveal matching blue eyes to Michael and Bella. Just under her right eye was a large scar that spread from her nose to the middle of her cheek bone. But that wasn't the only scar on her face, her face was littered with other tiny little scars.

She was wearing the same thing that she wore the same clothes she had died in, they just looked cleaner. She wore a frilly white button up shirt, gray overalls, and a pair of pink converse that had once matched a pair that her daughter owned. Along with that she wore a gold chain necklace that read 'Jackson' in the middle.
