BATIM AU: An Angel With Wings

Hide and Seek

Sammy held Susannah's hand tightly.
"Bendy?" she called, the Ink Demon appeared in front of them. "Good, you're here."

He nodded, Henry tensed from behind her.

"Henry gave me a great idea last night," she let go of Sammy's hand and held Bendy's arm. "He said that we could go and try and fix your limp."

How? He wrote in the book.

"Using extra thick ink," she began to walk forwards, pulling him along with her.

Sammy frowned at him, he was the one she usually trusted, along with Henry.

"What level did you say they were on?" Susannah asked.

"Eleven," Henry replied, fiddling with his sleeves.

"Can you make a portal there?" she questioned him, Bendy nodded. "Hold onto my arm."

Henry walked forward and held hers, Susannah looked at Sammy questioningly.

"I'd rather make my own," he said coldly, Bendy shrugged.

Henry swiped a blob off the swollen searcher, it emitted a deep moan and retreated.

"Okay, let's see if this works."

He crouched next to the Ink Demon's leg, Bendy lifted it up.

"It's like a suction cup," he murmured, as he poked it onto the demon's foot.

Bendy scrunched his eye up and balled his fists.

"Does it hurt?" Susannah asked him, he nodded slowly.

When Henry was satisfied with his job, he moved back.

"Try it out."

He gingerly put his foot back on the ground, and started to walk around. His eye widened with happiness, and it reminded Henry of something.

When his son first stumbled around in shoes.

Wait... Did he have a son?

He was lost in his thoughts, Henry was brought back to the present when Susannah spoke.

"Does it feel better?"

Bendy nodded eagerly, scrawling in his notebook.

I can finally walk!

Sammy looked pleased, but he still had a hint of venom in his face.

"Hey, Henry? Sammy?" she looked at them both. "Is it okay if... Bendy and I have some alone time?"

The music director went to respond, she interrupted him.

"I don't need to be protected all the time."

Sammy's face fell a little, he slid his mask back on. "O-Okay. Come on, Henry."

"Just be careful, Susannah," the other man warned her quietly.

The two teleported back to the safehouse with hesitation.

"So... Want to play hide and seek?"

He nodded again.

"Okay, we stay on this level. I'll hide first, you count to sixty."

She ran off before he had time to write a note.

Damn. Okay, come on Bendy, you can do this.

He stood still as he began to count.

One, two, three, four, five, six... What was next? Eighteen?
