Only time will tell (FutureShipping)

Chapter 14

Sorry for the last chapter is short, I didn't know what else to put-

It was quite unexpected from the incident just two ways ago, but what's more unexpected is that Acronix recovered faster than anyone would have thought. But though he still had to have crutches due to his fractured leg. But he seemed to be very happy for the fact that he was finally out of the hospital, or for the fact that he was experiencing new things whilst in the car with Cyrus. Acronix keeps pointing out the many buildings and technological things that zipped past him.

He was more entertained by Borgs watch, as he just watch him type or swipe on it. Of course Acronix called it a glass typewriter, being unable to understand much of today's condition. But Borg was happy to reteach him the technology he had with him. But though it didnt really last long due to them arriving at the tower. "Oh wow, that is a really tall building" Acronix said as he looked up at it through the window. Making Cyrus chuckle. "100 floors tall, its actually my company", Cyrus said to the male, who looked at him shocked. "You work here?!"

He questioned in surprise. "Yep!" Cyrus replied as the driver helped him out. Acronix looked at the door quietly, wondering how it would work. "Uh- how do i get out--?" He asked cluelessly. "Just pull the lever", cyrus said as he wheeled himself around. Acronix stsred at the door before he grabbed the handle and pulled it, though he pushed it open. His mouth opened in shock, now curious at the mechanism. But his attention was brung to cyrus who waved him over.

Acronix bit his inner lip and moved his legs out of the car, grabbing the crutches he slowly got out and put them under his shoulders and held on. He was still not use to them. Letting out a shaket breath he started to move with them. Though being slow at it. He closed the door behind him and watched the driver quickly drive off. He looked to cyrus who smildd softly at him. "You're doing good, just take it slow if you need to", he said to Acronix. Who nodded in response as he slowly walked over to the inventor.

Cyrus wheeled up the ramp, though he had to help acronix who struggled a bit. "Since you're staying with me for the time being, and that you really don't know much about today's time. You're going to have to be around me most of the time, unless you think you can manage on your own today. Mainly because I have a meeting in two hours." Cyrus explained to him the best he could without confusing the male. Acronix nodded and smiled. "I wouldn't bother you if you have a meeting, im sure I can manage on my own..i think.." he said, though he muttered the last bit.

Cyrus quietly thought about this, this was going to be hard for sure. With his company and now having to take care of Acronix till he is better will surly cause some stress. "Well, if you don't believe you could, I can call my daughter to look after you for the time being. She is really nice." Cyrus said to him. Acronix looked to him a bit surprised, but he nodded. He didn't expect for him to have a daughter, especially since he is paralyzed. "I don't mind meeting her", he said softly to him.

Cyrus wheeled through the automatic doors with the time twin behind him. Through the taller hated how much his hair was getting in his face due to the small hairs. "Do you know where I could get a banda para el cabello (hair band) or something to put my hair up?" Acronix asked. "A what-?" Cyrus looked back at him confused. "A hair band-", Acronix translated himself with a small blush. Being embarrassed for speaking in Spanish.

"Oh yes, of course I do!" Cyrus said with a bright smile. Though he just realized how his hair was naturally, it was similar to Krux by the bangs, but much longer and more pulled down. Even though some still stuck up. His face heated up by merely seeing his hair fully down than half of it pulled back. Acronix awkwardly smiled and waved his hand infront of his face, which made the inventor blink and quickly look away. "Sorry" was all he could muster.

He wheeled himself to the elevator, though he made sure to go slow enough for Acronix to be by his side. Eventually stopping before he entered a code that had been renewed 6 months ago. It was a simple 4 digit code that is backed up by a 5 digit code. Even if Acronix saw him type it in, he was still ratherly confused on what the code ment. Especially since it made Cyrus smile.

The two got into the elevator, turns put the code itself was to unlock his personal floor, which was the 100th floor. He pressed the button before it gave a starting jolt upward, having Acronix get a sudden wave of fear and held onto the rails. Cyrus smiled a bit by his reaction before he took a hairtie out of his pocket and gave it to Acronix. Who greatfully took it, thanked him and tied back half all of his hair. For the time being of course, since it was still very messy.

"You remind me of someone that I use to know" Cyrus said to break the silence. "How so?" Acronix asked him, curious. "Well..it was this person I use to like, they was the sweetest person I've meet. Acted childish yet they still have a heart to do good." Borg stated with a faint smile, but it faded. "But i haven't seen them in 6 months." He added with a sadder tone. "What happened to them? If I may ask?" Acronix asked as he turned to him slightly. "They disappeared without another word. Only left me one item to remember them goodbye." Borg said as he glanced at Nixy. "Could say they can't be replaced even if i tried." He added and completely fell silent, his emotions playing up again.

Acronix frowned more and hugged Cyrus the best he could without hurting himself. Cyrus froze by the sudden hug, but he greatfully accepted it. He heard the elevator bell ding, which became cue for him to let go of the time twin and wheel himself into the room. Though Acronix was quite shocked at the damage that was displayed infront of him. "Oh my heavens, what happened here?!" He questioned out loud, using the crutches to help him into the room. He looked up at the giant hole in the roof, not recalling a single memory of what happened.

"A experiment malfunctioned, its nothing complete major as the situation was handled quickly", Cyrus lied. Though the longer Acronix stared at the hole, then to the ground. A faint, yet blurry memory came to his head. He blinked before his eyes became teary. "No...it wasn't...i caused this.." he muttered, he now assumed this is where he landed than at the monetary. Cyrus quickly panicked, not really realizing that he gained his memories by simply revisiting somewhere of major events. "Im so sorry...i had no control of where I was ment to land.." Acronix said with a sadden tone.

"Hey- hey now don't cry, it wasn't your fault. I just didn't want you to know it was you. I knew you would of felt bad-" "hey its ok. I'd rather be told things than kept away from them." Acronix interupted him. He gave the inventor a small, yet weak smile. Cyrus still felt bad but just stayed silent. He wheeled himself to his work desk, but took down the old photos. But was hesitant about one. He just stared at the scenery of the mountains and just decided to leave it up and put the other old photos away in a drawer.

Acronix quietly looked back up to the hole, though it held in his head, what else is the man before him holding?
