PoV: Shadow        

"If you ever call me out on another mission before Sonic is healed, I'll personally see to it that you meet your grave early," I growled at this damned commander.

"I run this agency Shadow not you," he remarked.

"Then I quit," I threw my communicator at him.

"You're government property, you can't quit," he sneered.

"If anything I'm a victim of this companies abuse. I have hard evidence and can have you sued. Either you listen to me, or you live the rest of your days in jail," I smirked from his silence.

"Very well. I'll leave Sonic as your responsibly alone, and you will not be ordered for another mission until you see fit," he wrote it down and signed it, "you have my word and writing."

"Good," I left, "now find someone else to send off to find a sunken boat."

--- Tails's House---

  I walked in to find Sonic missing. Everyone else seemed to be minding their own things. Tails came down from the steps.

"Where's Sonic?" I asked locking the front door.

"He's been in his room most of the day. Just sorta laying on the bed. He was up a few times to look at pictures, but he's not eating," Tails gave me a full report.

  I ran up the steps and to his room. I opened the door slowly to not startle him. He had tears streaming down his cheeks as he was hugging a pillow. He noticed me and ran up. He clung onto me making us both fall back. He held me tight as he continued crying.

"Sonic... you're okay, I've gotcha," I smoothed his quills down and his breathing began to calm.

  He nuzzled me, burying his face in my fur. I just held him until he calmed down. I dried his tears and did my best to comfort him. He stayed much closer to me for the rest of the day. He wasn't leaving my side for anything. He missed me, I was gone too long for him.

"Don't worry Sonic, I'm not going anywhere," I placed a hand on his cheek as I started to mix his food.

  He was acting a little more like he used to now. He walked on 2 legs much more often, and started uncurling himself when he slept. Now he just grabbed his own spoon for a change. It took his hand a few moments before the muscles remembered how to eat. He sat up with his legs crossed. Bowl cradled in his left hand and the spoon in his right. He spilled, but that was expected.

  Our only issue was his trust in others and night terrors. He never trusted anyone who came to the door, in fact, Sonic would growl at the doorbell and any knocking. It was hard to deal with him like that, but his night terrors... those took effort sometimes.

  He wouldn't wake up, he'd just scream and cry. If they went past that point he'd throw up and just cry until we calmed him enough to wake him. Sometimes the warm water of the bath would soothe him into a peaceful slumber again. Other times Tails and I would just have to talk to him until he woke up. He was so fragile and broken... I wanted to kill that damn man myself.

  G.U.N was a disappointment. I worked on helping Sonic and they couldn't catch one old man in a lab coat. The man was out there, I wasn't letting him come after Sonic again.

PoV: 3rd Person

"There you are," the musty, rigidly putrid breath of an old man spat.

  The screen in from of his glasses showing a small blue hedgehog, one who was in the warm embrace of a larger ebony and scarlet hedgehog. Both laying on pale azure sheets and white pillows. The light twinkle of strung lights around them and they slept peacefully.

  Yellowed crooked teeth showed as old chapped lips curled up into a menacing grin, "My perfect experiment."

~~~

  Sonic is a messy eater~ hahaha. Oh, he's adorable. Also, G.U.N is in trouble with Shadow, he might just chaos blast the whole place.

  Welp, I'll see ya when I have signal again.

Bye bye~ 😁😁
