Darkness Rising (fanfic) (4th book in Destiny series)

chapter 5: Breakout

Atom landed in front of the Asylum. He transformed into human form and observed the place. "It's nicer than i expected." He said as he walked through the the front door. There we two burly security guards, and when he tried to pass them they stopped him.

"Visiting hours are over." One said.

"We are undergoing renovations." The other said.

"But i want to-" Atom stopped talking when a idea sparked in his head, and a sly smile crept onto his face, "i'm here to see my wife." They looked down at him,

"As we said before," They said in unison, "VISITING HOURS ARE OVER!!" And with that they kicked Atom out. Atom stood enraged in the parking lot, thinking of what to do. He looked around and saw a window on the third floor.

"Bingo." He said, turning into a Phoenix and flying up to the window. He turned back and landed on the thin windowsill. He tested the window and it slid open. He hopped inside and closed the window behind him. He looked around and it looked like he was in some sort of office. the first thing that stuck out to him was a umber red tablet on a desk. He picked it up and looked at the screen, it had a picture of Ericka lying on the floor of her cell with her name next to it. It also had some information about her just below.

"She's younger than i expected." Atom mumbled to himself, panning down to the bottom. He saw something that said TRACKING ACTIVE, and clicked on it. it took him to another page. It was a map, it showed him as TABLET and her as C-43. "She's just down the hall!" He exclaimed. In his excitement he clicked on her on the map and she disappeared. "What?!" He said, "no-no, c-come back!" He exited out of the map and saw TRACKING DISABLED. "Oh." He said in understanding, clicking on it to turn it back on. Ericka was just sitting in a corner of her cell thinking about how badly she had messed up when she heard a small beeping. She noticed it was coming from the tracker and looked down at it. The little light on it was flashing and emitting small heat waves. Suddenly felt like she was being suffocated. She gasped for breath, but no oxygen would go back into her lungs. As she struggled to stay awake, Atom walked down the hall and stopped when he came to her cell. When she saw him a weak smile formed on her face and she stumbled over to the glass. With the last bit of her energy and breath she said,

"T-turn off the t-tracking..." She trailed off as she passed out. Or course he thought she had died and turned off the tracking. He saw a panel of buttons next to the cell and looked over at them. Panicking, he clicked the green button that said OPEN. The glass parted and he slid in on his knees. He put down the tablet and hesitated before brushing the hair out of her face. He looked like his heart had been torn in half.

"Drac's going to kill me." He said dryly. Then a light bulb lit in his brain. He put her in his lap and tried to lean in to kiss her, but couldn't man up enough to do it. After two attempts he gave up with a big, "I can't do this."

"Then i'll do it for you." Ericka mumbled. He looked back down at her be she had already started to move. She looped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his. He was a little shocked but didn't fight. He leaned into it and drew her closer. They broke apart with grins on their faces. Then Ericka said, "Don't tell Drac."
