Black's Pov
"Sorry we took so long." I spoke, instantly walking over to the table which Went was already looking at Ralph's broken parts. "What can I do to help?"

Ebony tapped me on the shoulder and smiled "You can look and see if Ralph has any broken parts which were connected to the components- that'd be helpful."
"Okie dokie. May be a tough question but-"
"Can I do anything to help?" Coy interrupted me. Damn it. I saw Went look up at Coy, then to me.
"You brought him here?"
"I thought he might be able to help. He knows spells- he could try and repair things-"
"Fine. Just keep him out of trouble."
"You speak as though I'm not here.. I was only trying to not take another life away Went.. You don't underst-" Coyote was trying to plead his case but of course Wentworth wasn't going to listen to him..
"I do understand. But it's not my fault you've killed millions of people. Black has but you don't hear her complaining about it all the time."
"Went that's enough now.. Let's just get back to work. Coyote can help Black."
Wentworth looks yet again at me "If he so much as scratches him-"
"He won't. Don't worry.."
As I saw Wentworth look down I put my hand on Coyote's shoulder and gave him a somewhat optimistic smile.
Don't worry.. I've got your back. You've had mine plenty of times.
He nodded and gave me a weak smile back as we walked over to Ralph's body, searching for anything even remotely broken.

We ended up working that long that a guard came looking for Ebony and I, making sure that we hadn't gone missing. Apparently we had worked through the afternoon and night. Wentworth by that time looked as if were going to faint at any second- the only thing that were keeping him from falling was his desperation.
"Went.." I walked over to him and made him look down at me "Go and rest. I'll take over from what you're doing. You know I wouldn't dare jeopardise your work on Ralph."
"I'm fine.." He mumbled, looking back down at his work.
I sighed "Ebony can you take him upstairs? If he carries on he's going to hurt himself, one way or another."
"Yeah.. I agree with you.." she looked to Went "Went you can't just stay up forever.. You're human."
"So are you.." He looked down "Almost."
Ebony smiled as she put her arm around Wentworth's shoulders, making him go upstairs- whether he wanted to or not.

"I never thought he'd actually go." Coyote looked to me- he still had a look of discontentment in his eyes.
"Coyote.. Are you alright? Really..?"
He looked away from me, to the floor "No."
I walked over to him and gave him a warm hug "Guilty conscious hu?"
He nodded against my shoulder, to which I patted his back "Don't worry.. I think you did the right thing, if I'm honest. Abyss didn't know what she was doing. She was blinded by love." I laughed "Happens sometimes."
"I guess.." He mumbled- I almost thought he felt better.. Until I felt a warm stream of tears fall down onto my back.
"Oh Coy... It'll be okay! Don't be upset! Ralph'll be okay. Wentworth will forgive you. Trust me- I know how it feels to have him mad at you. Multiple times."

I heard the door open to see Ebony standing there, her what was blank expression at Coyote turned curious.
"Coyote? Are you alright?"
I looked up to her
He feels really guilty.

I can get why.

I know how he feels..

Definitely.

I could hear her small chuckle in her mind. She came over to me and Coyote
"Coyote- trust me, he'll get over it. If it were a different situation- he'd probably do the same as you. You know he isn't heartless. He's just extremely on edge because it's Ralph that got hurt."
"I'm sorry.." He choked out- I hugged him tighter
"Coy.." I sighed

I think he should go for now.

He's not gonna be able to work like this. You're probably right.

When am I wrong?

I'll take him up to his quarters. Are you okay on your own for a bit?

Of course I am.. stupid.

I nodded to Ebony as I teleported Coyote and I up to his quarters- with him still attached to me like a koala.
"Get some rest Coy. If you need anything don't be afraid to ask alright?"
"I'm sorry I'm so useless right now Black.."
"You're not. Don't worry. We all need breaks." Smiling, I gave him another quick hug before teleporting back down to the lab.

"Oh- hey B." Ebony smiled as I put my head on her shoulder.
"I hate to ask this question- but how many things are still broken?"
"Well- Honestly, it's just the memory chip.. But it's seriously frustrating."
I mumbled "This would've been a good time to have another android around."
"I miss Nines sometimes." Ebony spoke up "I mean- he was stoic and cold, but he was a good friend."
"He's safer with Bryan and Connor.." I chuckled softly "We would've probably driven him insane eventually. Especially because we obviously are affectionate towards-"
"You're worse than me!" She laughed "Which I didn't expect, considering you're the one who didn't even want a girlfriend in the first place."
"What can I say- I hadn't dated anyone in quite a couple years.."
"Fossil."
"Shut up you." I smirked playfully and rolled my eyes, looking across the room at Ralph's lifeless form. "Do you think we could repair it with one of Coyote's spells?"
"Possibly. But I don't think he's in any condition to help."
"I could try- but I'm not as experienced in that sort of craft."
"Fair. Alright. Let's see if we can make sense of this chip."

Whilst Ebony was looking at the chip, I decided not to crowd her and look at the scar on Ralph's face.
I could fix this.. Or it'll at least be it's old colour.
From my fingertip, I created a small flame. I grabbed onto some tools. To put into human terms- I was basically cauterising the scar, to see if it was only the top layer that was red, or if it was deep in code. Luckily, it wasn't, and I could see the vibrant blue peaking through, as I burnt at the crimson.
I was happy with my work at the end. The crimson that held onto his face was now gone- that familiar, happy blue scar lay on his face- not broken anymore. And not to boast, but it looked better than it did before. In my opinion.

I was snapped away from my thoughts when I heard Ebony yell
"FUCK I'M A GENIUS!"
I turned excitedly, to see her gorgeous face with a massive toothy grin across it.
"What-"
"I did it!! His memory chip should work perfectly now! All of his memories should still too be intact."
I ran up to her and picked her up bridal style, kissing her passionately on the lips
"You're fucking amazing.."
"Yep!" She laughed "I know."
I put her down and took her over to Ralph, and showed her my "masterpiece"
"I fixed his face! I hope Went approves." I giggled
"I'm sure he will.." she paused then yelled into my ear "LETS FIX THIS FUCKER!"
