Book 1: Shattered Harmony

Intermission 5

Odis and Zareth belong to Grumpy-Zane. Actually a lot of art is done by her too...actually about 78% is hers. She's awesome :D

Brand New

It had been raining all week off and on. The ground was completely saturated, and the sky rumbled with promise. Saturday was here, and their wasn't much a little kid could do other then sit and look out the window.

Odis was a young nindroid. A shy and curious thing. One with a family of heros who apparently were much to busy today to play with him. He sighed for the billionth time as he looked out the window. His mother walked by him kissing his cheek to tell him goodbye as she went off to help Borg with some project.

Zane sat down on the couch for a moment to address him. Odis put his arms around his fathers middle and looked up at him.

"Do you have to go daddy?" He asked with that tiny voice of his.

"I'm afraid so Odis. Your Uncles and I have to go to another area and its not safe for you on the Bounty right now. So we've asked Danny to look after you while we're gone."

"Danny...isn't she that android made by that witch woman?" He asked. Zane looked a little iffy about that. He wasn't sure what he had meant. But it did seem to fit.

"I...suppose." He told his son. Odis turned back around and looked out the window. Lightning flashed not to far away and made the Bounty sway.

"Was that Uncle Jay?" He whispered. Zane chuckled.

"Did it hit the Bounty?" Zane asked. Odis nodded his head. "But is it burning?" Otis shook his head. "Then most likely."

"Wow..." Zane picked his son up and walked him off the ship.

The bus ride was completely uneventful and incredibly noisy. Odis pulled his scarf up farther. He had a feeling everyone was staring at him. He buried his face in his fathers sleeve. Zane looked down at him and smiled.

"Its alright son. We're almost there." He told him. He slowly stood up and held his hand out for his son. Odis took his fathers hand and walked off the bus a few block away from the apartment building. Odis kept walking trying to keep up with his fathers long strides. He could smell the ocean not to far from them. When they turned a corner he could see it. Across the street from them was a large white building on a corner. Zane walked his son up to it and pushed a button that had a large brown star on it. Instead of Dareths voice Dannys soft voice called over it.

"Hey Zane. Come on it." Her voice said as the door clicked. Zane walked inside. Their were a lot of security measures in place now. All put in by Ronin. The only two places that didn't have a camera were the bathroom and Dannys room. Although Dannys room used to be a walk in closet. She didn't mind. She called it cosy.

Zane opened the door and looked inside. Their were movie posters, book shelves, and a large tv. Danny walked out of the kitchen and looked around.
Odis looked at the woman. She had on a pair of jeans, converse, and a shirt ACDC on it. She looked more like a teenager.

"Hello Zane." She said walking over and hugging him. Zane gave her a hub back with as much admiration as she did. "How have you been?" She asked. It had been just about 6 months since they seen one another again. She hated their long separations.

"I have been well." He told her. "I see I find you the same." He pulled her back and scanned her.

"Yes, but this...this is a surprise Zane why am I only finding out now? Zareth would be thrilled!" Danny said looking at the boy and suddenly realized something. She looked up at Odis. Her eyes grew uneven for a second and she looked up at Zane and pointed at Odis.
