He'd spend a lot of time waiting. A lot of time thinking. Too much time in his opinion. Rainbow wasn't exactly a patient steve, but he had no other options besides waiting for Hypno Steve. He missed him, grasping onto the memories before everything turned sour and before he forgot everything. Remembering everything after living a life of nothing was painful and overwhelming. But he wished he could at least be accompanied by the people he'd known and loved in his distant yet close past. Sure, he missed other people, but none were as distant, leaving him feeling as empty as Hypno.

He'd yet to see Blue again, he missed him. He'd seen Green Steve and Professor Red again, but it was hard. He wasn't the same as they'd known him, he was older and slightly bittered from the world. He didn't even look like he used to, beside rainbow curly hair he was a completely different steve. Even that had grown to the middle of his back and straightened a bit. Marigold- formerly the Nightmare King -was quite nice. He wasn't perfect, but he was certainly someone Rainbow could consider a good person.

Elemental was with him often, who seemed to always feel guilty and melancholy. Rainbow could tell they got along well, and that Elemental had a lot more to him than he knew. Void was oddly feeble and avoiding, though Rainbow didn't want much to do with him, like most. Memory was fun to be around. Dark was too, who spent a lot of time with Marigold and Reverse. He'd meet many other steves he'd known as he waited. Everyone seemed to be at peace and have a place... but Rainbow Steve.

He'd talk to all the people he knew but none of them were quite his friend, possibly cause his only purpose since creation was to be a hero and there were no heroics for him to do. Maybe Mermory, but they really just fished and gossiped with each other. He was around Light a lot. Light was very much someone he would consider a friend, though he saw him more as a little brother or son. He helped where he could, but there weren't many to help anymore. He only felt like he could wait for Hypno, see if he needed help, or even just a friend. It was a long while till he heard a rumor of his death.

"I heard he killed that Origin Steve guy Sabre told you about," Memory said "Then killed himself"

"Why would he... was he working with Sabre?"

Memory shrugged "I don't think so. He was falling apart, 'cause he wasn't finished if you remember"

"...Right," Rainbow sighed "Tell me if you see him, would'ja?"

"Sure thing, Color Kid"

...

Rainbow wondered how powerful Hypno must have been, killing a god like that. He also wondered if the rumor was just fake gossip like half of the stories Memory would pass on to him while fishing. But sure enough, a day or so later, he ran into Memory Steve again.

"I saw him," Memory said "Hypno, that is. By the pond, north the valley yonder"

"Really?"

"Yeah, he's dead, alright. 'Less I was hallucinating a half-hour-long conversation."

"Damn. I'll be keeping an eye out for him, then."

"...I told him you were looking for him." Memory paused "He seemed real surprised"

"Oh... well I'm sure I'll see him again soon enough. Thanks, Memory"

"...No problem, Rainbow Steve, no problem."

Rainbow found himself going to that pond. He knew where it was, an awfully pretty spot rather deep in the forest. He found it once foraging in the woods with Elemental and Marigold and had returned to it by himself a couple of times. He walked through the valley, flower to flower. He walked through a patch of red flowers and red flower bushes till he was in the forest, looking around like he was lost while his leg took him to where we wanted to go easily. He hoped to find Hypno there and if not probably just sit at the pondside for a while.
