"Woah leave her alone!" said Rio creating a water sheild from the water he'd had in a canteen.
Skye facepalmed when he saw rio, What are you doing?(Btw bold from Skye means he's useing telepathy) he asked.
"Helping her!" he said warding off the crowd as Firiko and Skye came over to help.
Megan said thank you again, trying not to be weirded out as much as the crowd was when they saw the magical water sheild. I wonded where on earth they came from…. I haven't seen anyone like that in my life… She quickly inched through the crowd and was on her way back home.
Tobias barely felt the bounce of her stride as she went, and the noise of bustling people calmed a bit. Where are you taking me??…
Skye nudged Rio, Put the water away and lets follow her, maybe she can give us some answers he told him, making sure Firiko could hear, the two others nodded and the three followed her home.
(Weird, I know but what else am I gonna do?)
(Yeah. Just make things happen. She isn't actually going home. She's going to some sciency mechanical institute to repair him the right way with the right stuff. Honestly, I should've clarified…)
Megan headed down the street down near the Mechanical Science Institute and was about to enter the campus when she heard someone– or rather a few people following her. She flicked her gaze back, and noticed it was those three people who helped her get out of the crowd. "Oh… It's you three…" She said lightly. "I know you're probably worried about Tobias here…." She shifted him in her arms, and he mumbled a little. "…Yet I don't think they'd let people like you inside…"
"Who says they have to see us!" said Skye as he and Firiko caught up with her,
"Guys wait up!" called Rio who was falling behind.
(Firiko and Skye have increased Stamina)
(OooOoh :3)
Megan was a bit confused. "What do you mean?" She glared at them, trying her best not to be rude. Yet, there were cameras all over that place. They'd see them in one way or another. "And besides…. It'd be best if I– er… Took care of him seclusively."
"Eh we're coming anyway" said Firiko with Skye nodding as Rio attempted to catch up.
"aww Skye can't ya give me a ride?" whined Rio
"If you can talk you can keep up!" said Skye, Besides if I gave you a ride here we might attract the wrong kind of attention!
"Alright then…" She was a bit hesitant, yet if they really wanted to…. "If you want." Megan wandered to an alternate door (one that wasn't the main entrance) and struggled to get the key scanned by the sensor. She got the door open with her elbow and allowed the others inside. "I know a way to avoid most of the traffic in this place…."
"W….Will I be…. O…. Okay??" Tobias muttered.
Skye nodded and held the door for Rio so that they could all make it inside, then they continued to follow the woman.
"I'm sure you'll be fine…" Megan smiled, but that broken eye forced it to fade a little quickly. What have I done? What have they done? How can anyone let this happen? Her mind went a little crazy, yet they found the stairs and went up to a high floor– it was hard work, but it was better for the company of three not to be seen by rest of the poeple working there.
The three followed them up the stairs with Firiko assuming it would be better if he didn't fly.
Megan finally made it to the room, and she unlocked it with her key once again. They slid inside, and she set Tobias down on a table in the middle of the room. Hopefully Dad isn't here… It's midday, so he shouldn't be here anyways….
Tobias weakly sat up. "….Wh…. What….??" He glanced around and was a bit startled when he saw that those three people followed him– into a place he wasn't sure they were allowed.
Firiko made sure to stand behind Skye and Rio as they ended up in a room filled with more gadets and gizmos, He was pretty sure wings weren't normal in this world which was why he didn't wanna scare the kid.
Skye stepped forwards, "Is the kid alright?" he asked the woman
"He's…. Hanging in there… He should be…." Megan responded, pulling down a few cords from the ceiling with elecrtic patches, sticking two on his cheeks and two on his forehead. "I need you to lay down…"
Tobias carefully sat back, and the currents channeled into his brain, letting him fall into a deep sleep– or essentially turning him off.
"It might be a little while before he's ready to go… But I'm sure he wouldn't mind company when he wakes up." First thing's first… This eye… I'm glad it didn't damage the internal wiring…
"What exactly are you doing to him?" asked Rio, I can sense that those wires are giving off electricity.
(Water conducts electricity, and he is part air element)
"I have to…. Ermm…. Replace the glass of his eye. And rewire a few things in his abdomen." It must've sounded odd to them, working on a machine that looked too close to a human being. "That car hit him pretty hard… But luckily…. It didn't get the worse of him…" She got a small concave glass piece and set it on the cart next to the table. She used some sort of tweezers to get the old one out. It was badly cracked, but it wasn't broken into shards.
Skye came over to her, watching her carefully as she pulled some glass out of the kid's eye, "Uhm… I dont know about this kid, but I'm pretty sure he isn't human now is he?" he said
"No, he's not," Megan said, taking the untouched glass between the tweezers. "He's what some claim to be the most human-like robot in the world, even though he's modeled as a 14-year-old kid." She carefully placed the glass in, making sure not to touch it with her hands. "Sometimes I'm proud of him…. Sometimes…. He's not really the sharpest knife in the drawer."
"Uh huh" said Skye who was thoroughly intrigued by what she was doing with the kid's robotic parts.
(Since when were you a Tinker Skye????????? MY characters have minds of their own!!!)
(Lol oof that's gotta kinda stink)
Megan lifted his shirt a little where the car hit his side. There was a reddened patch of "skin" where she was sure there was a disconnection. That's what I suspected…. She grabbed a scalpel and cut the skin open, revealing several wires and steel bones. "These just need to be reconnected, and he should be ready to go." I'm surprised this didn't do more damage than it did….
Firiko came over and watched curiously with Skye, being careful to keep his feathers out of the way. Rio slumped onto the floor where he was, yawning as he watched boredly.
Megan heard [Rio] yawn, and she was a tad bit intimidated. A small sweat broke from her forehead, and she took a deep breath. Take your time… What counts is the quality and care…. She soldered the parted wires and repared the worn ones efficiently. Just a little more…. When Megan was finished, she seamed the skin back with a special material to make it look like nothing had happen– scarless.
"I thought this would take longer than usual…." She muttered, leaning back a little.
Skye watched her finish up, "Quick question for you miss," he said, "What exactly is he?" he asked carefully,
"Depends on what kind of answer your're looking for…." Megan shifted a little, proceeding to remove the electric pads from his face carefully. "To some, he's just an ordinary kid… To me though, he's everything. My father made him as an experiment, but be made a terrible mistake, and now… It's like he doesn't want him in his life anymore…" She sighed, watching him as he woke up.
Tobias opened his eyes, seeing everything clearly before him. "Wh… Am… Am I okay now?" He glanced around, and was a little startled to see those three people there in the lab with her.
