I wish I could fly.
I wish I could grab on to something.
But all I grab on to is empty air as I fall.
Time seemed to slow down as the thing glanced back at me.
And I hit the ground.
Hard.
I can hear my bones breaking from the impact and I can't move.
It jumps down after me, it's robotic face inches from my own.
It opens its mouth wide...
And D-4 kicks it.
I stare at the scene, shocked.
It shrieks and goes after him.
D-4 sends punches and kicks towards it and he struggles for a while, looking for a weapon. Soon enough, he finds a bit of concrete and stabs it into the things head.
It lets out its last ear piercing shriek and I feel myself slipping.
I glance up at the now rising sun, feel myself being picked up by D-4, then everything goes dark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm lying on something soft, Brian's footsteps echo in my room at the lab.
It was a dream..
"Would you like some lemonade?" His voice is distant, as if it's a memory.
And I open my eyes.
I'm not back at the lab and the people who stand above me don't look like they're asking if I wanted lemonade.
I still can't move as I try to lift my head.
"Don't, you'll only break yourself more." Says B-4.
A hand touches my forehead lightly. It's rough and yet, comforting.
The hand is coming from A-4. He's smiling sweetly.
"A hot temperature still." He says this softly, as if I'm still asleep.
Another hand holds my own. C-4's. D-4's hand goes on my shoulder, Brian's holds my other hand, B-4 on the other shoulder.
A texture of touches, faces all smiling.
"Your move next. Boss." Says C-4 quietly.
I smile with them.
"Defend until I heal."
They look disappointed.
"I don't want to miss out on the fun."
And they all grin as I do.
