Cap's POV:
"It's been hours, where is that son of a gun?"

"I'm unsure, you're worried, right?"

"Of course, why?"

"Ok, I just didn't want to be the only one, is all." Dawn is a very protective and shy character. It makes her cute and adorable at times. After RoPo let the lab to find Angel, we heard screaming from down the hall. Dawn wanted to investigate but I decided to wait until I knew for sure. I don't know how strong she is, though being a spirit, she could still die. I was getting the sense to look for RoPo to ease both our worried minds.

"Dawn?"

"Yes?"

"Lets go look for him. I can't wait for him to come anymore." As soon as I got up, the door opened. Dawn got up in a hurry, she... flew over to him.

"RoPo, where were you?" I asked calmly.

"I was telling AJ that I was thankful, that's all," he responded sternly.

"I know there's more going on, what is it? Maybe we can help?" Said Dawn.

"It's nothing."

"RoPo, you don't need to hide your thoughts and feelings," said Dawn as she flew closer to him. She had her hand out, "We are here for your troubles and concerns."

"I said it's nothing."

"Please RoPo, don't hide anything from u-"

"I said... it's nothing, now shut the hell up!" Said RoPo angry, his eyes were visible seen as his .EXE eyes. We were both freaked out. Dawn was very shocked that she was at the point to cry. It was at that moment when RoPo screwed up badly. His face went from angry .EXE to sad and guilty.

"I'm... so very sorry Dawn, I don't know what got to me." Dawn remained silent, she turned away slightly and began to cry. She placed her hands on her face, I guess is to hide her tears. RoPo just remained frozen by the door. After a while, he busted out.

"RoPo, wait!" I yelled to grab his attention, but he only kept running. I only walked over to Dawn to keep her calm. I placed my hand on her shoulder, she then proceeded to hug me. I didn't do much but hug her back. She cried for a while, but it wasn't loud. It was more like whining than loud sobbing.

"It's ok, it will all be ok," I said to calm Dawn a little.

"Don't make promises you can't keep, Captain," said a child-like voice. I looked up but no one was present. I think it was in my head, I'll uncover more later.

RoPo's POV:
I didn't dare to stop, I knew what I have done, I don't deserve their help. I can understand why they don't want to be near me. What has gone in my head for me to say that?! I even saw red after yelling at Dawn. I ended up stopping when I got to the balcony. I was faced with a flashback of what happened here when I was corrupted by Antivort. I walked over to the edge and sat down with my legs dangling off. I cried a little, not only did I feel guilty but I was scared. I don't want him to take control, I don't want others to get harmed by me. It has happened way too many times now! I placed all the guilt on myself, maybe it was better if I just let this inner self take over. It could solve so many of my problems. But I know that's a bad idea. The day has gone by so quickly, it's almost sundown. I'll have even more problems now.

"Huh? Why are you hear?" I knew who was talking to me, I wasn't happy.

"What are you doing here?"

"I come here to moron, but I guess you're taking the spot. I'll just go find somewhere else to resolve my problems." She walked back to the tower, I slowly turned my head towards her.

"Wait! Can I ask you something?" She didn't respond, she only nodded her head, "Why are our lives so difficult?" She sighs and begins to speak,

"I'm afraid I don't have the answer to that. This world decides on our future. We just live within the mess from others."

"Oh..."

"What's the matter? Why are you asking this now?"

"It ain't nothing you want to know, you have more important things to worry about. Like messing up my life even more."

"Why would I do that? Why would I try to ruin the life of my brother?" I was shocked at what she said to me, I knew that this a different side of her I was talking to. I felt more relieved and opened my mind to her.

"Sorry, I guess I jumped to conclusions."

"It's alright, it happens to us all," she said as she walked over to me. She sat next to me and spoke again, "This world is really unfair to us, right?"

"Heh, can't argue with that. Anyway, what's your deal? Why are you here?"

"Like I said, I come here to moron. Usually alone, but I don't mind company. It's actually quite, nice."

"Yeah, I just came running from the lab. I kinda made a friend cry. I felt terrible and booked out of there."

"Bro!"

"I know. I'm just scared so much that I don't acknowledge the people around me and their feelings."

"I know how that feels. It sucks like hell."

"How do you relate exactly?"

"After my corruption by Antivort, my personality change so much. I was rude to others, not caring for others at all. I even fought Harlow because I was mad at her for giving me this scar on my right side. I could have died, but it's scary when you realize that this darkness will live with you forever. It won't leave you alone. You can only conquer them, it's been especially hard for me."

"Dang! That's a lot."

"It happened on my birthday."

"Shit! That's worse!"

"Heh, I know. But, nothing could have been done. I couldn't change the past. I just learned from it."

"That's nice advice. I guess it's nice to have others with you."

"It is." We both looked at each other and smiled. The sun was setting as well, it was such a beautiful sunset.

"Hey, will you be there if I need you?"

"I don't know, I'll try," she said as she slowly faded away.

"Wait? Where are you going?" She didn't respond, she simply closed her eyes as her body faded away, "Come back! Please don't leave me! Please...













... I need you, Angel..."
