Cut You A Piece

The doctor had been working in his lab for a few hours now when he got a call from agent Stone." Hello Stone." The doctor said as he picked up the call with a smile." How did the interrogation go?" " It was fine, sir. What they had told me was that they were sent by elites from other countries to try and gain your technology. The usual shenanigans that the other countries tag with them, nothing unusual here, sir." The doctor nodded on his side and said," Alright then, you know what to do now Stone?" The agent replied saying," Yes, sir. It'll be done right away." With that, the call was hung up. The doctor liked the agents' serious tone. It was very attention-grabbing and very useful against those who dare oppose the agents' strict ideals. The doctor decided to get back to work as he waited for the agent to come back.

Stone hung up the phone and took out the custom pistol he always had on him. He then turned to the five men who were all tied to a wall, limbs spread apart and help down by ropes so they couldn't move them." Thank you all for your time." The agent began as he faced them." But it seems that your time has run out." He then held his pistol up and shot all five men, his aim and accuracy on point. Once done with that, he went and disposed of the bodies. He did the usual destroying of evidence, clean all the blood with hydrogen peroxide, Burn the bodies to make sure they were untraceable and, made sure to destroy everything they had on them. Once that was done, the agent began to head back to the lab to meet up with the doctor.

The doctor was dancing to his music when the agent entered, catching the doctor off guard and startling him." Agent Stone!!" The doctor shouted, swiftly stopping his dancing." I thought i told you to let me know of your presence when you decide to come and see me?!" " Apologies, sir. I knocked, but you weren't answering so i thought it appropriate for me to come and check on you." The agent replied." It was not a precedent choice to enter without your approval. I'm truly sorry sir." The doctor sighed and said," It doesn't matter. You've ruined the moment anyhow." The doctor fumed to his seat. As he went through, he could see a tang of regret and sadness within the agent's eyes. The doctor sat down and went back to work as a silent agent stood behind him watching him work.

It was a while until the agent left the room causing the doctor to exhale sharply. The doctor sat there with a stern look on his face. He felt a harsh pain in his chest from the events that had taken place earlier. He had felt bad for telling the agent off in such a manner. He sat there his face in his hands as he sat there contemplating and silently scolding himself for what he did. He was so upset at himself that he ended up wiping everything off his table and causing him to stand up. He stood there and had deep breaths as he had the emotional turmoil ruin him inside. The hatred he had inside for himself, the feelings of going and consoling the agent, the feelings that he should be punished and apologize, things that he could not do on his terms.  He then saw something surprising to him. Tears were falling onto the table below him. The tears belonged to him. He was crying. The estranged, brilliant, and creative Dr.Robotnik was crying. It was truly a dumb reason to be crying and being so upset over. He didn't know why he felt this way. This usually always happened and he never got this emotional about it. Why did it affect him this way now?

Stone had walked out of the lab when the feeling of regret filled him vigorously. He could not stand the feeling of regret that he experienced standing there after what had happened minutes before. Stone went and sat down in a private room that was made for him and sat down on the small bed within the room. The room was made back during his second year of working with the doctor. The doctor then was doing all-nighters and the agent had to stay with him to make sure the doctor would be safe. That was his duty, after all, to make sure the doctor was safe. The doctor had seen the agent fall asleep while leaning on a wall and felt that it was 'his duty' to make a private sleeping quarter for him.

The agent sat there, head in his arms as all of his regrets and depressing thoughts consumed him. He felt himself tear up but stopped himself from going into a full-on sob. This usually happened before. Where he would come in unannounced and cause the doctor to tell him off, but for some reason it hurt this time. Why did it hurt? He let himself sit there and collect himself before going back out. He had collected himself enough and went to make lattes for the doctor.

The doctor sat there looking at blueprints to try and distract himself from the previous thoughts. The man was working when the agent came in with the lattes. There was no talking. The agent simply placed the latte next to the working doctor and turned to leave. The doctor couldn't take the guilt much longer and said," Stone." The agent turned his head looking to the doctor nervously." Y-yes?" The agent said cautiously. The doctor stood up and walked over to the agent taking both his hands shaking." Sir, is something wrong?" The agent said concerned. The doctor shook his head and said," No, Stone, there is something i need to tell you.." The doctor took a moment contemplating what he was about to do for a moment before speaking again." I'm... I'm sorry, about earlier." The doctor said feeling very hesitant with what he had said.

The agent shook his head, " no, sir it's fine. It was my fault it ever happened anyway." The agent responded." But I didn't have to be an overgrown child about the whole circumstance." The doctor replied. The doctor sighed before saying, " could you.. forgive me...for being such a fool?" The agent looked at the doctor a little surprise before saying, " of course, doctor. It was a simple mistake on both of our ends after all." The agent responded. The doctor sighed happily to get that over with.

The doctor looked at the agent and said," how about I make this day up to you? How about...dinner?" The doctor asked nervously. It was strange for the doctor to offer such a thing. This was his first time trying to be 'human' and he was hoping he would do well. Besides, something deep inside him wanted him to make it up to the agent for spoiling the man's day. The agents' eyes lit up seeming happy and excited for such an event." If you would be willing to do one, doctor! You don't have to do this if you don't want to." The agent replied feeling nervous about how the doctor would react with trying to be with other humans and doing humane tasks.

The doctor nodded and said," Yes, I'm sure. Don't speak to me as though I'm a child Stone. I can handle an event out of this lab and our usual private locations." The agent gave a soft smile and said," whatever you say, sir." With that, the two began to discuss where they would be eating. The doctor was thinking of very high-end restaurants, but the agent ended up picking Olive Garden." Why there of all places?" The doctor had asked curiously." I'm not sure, sir. I guess I simply enjoy the food and the place in general." The agent replied simply. The doctor nodded and said, " Fine. We will head there tomorrow. It is our off day tomorrow after all." The agent gave a big smile and couldn't wait for the day to come.
