You Can Never Turn Your Back On A Drug

AC couldn’t respond but she knew what the answer was, yes.    The children were not near the room.    She squeezed her hand regardless as if to say yes, it was cruel but it was their only way out of the mess.   AC needed her Valeyard to save her again just as he had before.

Her body began to shut down on its own before its own reboot began, her body exploded with golden energy.   She wasn’t much taller in form but after the Regeneration energy cleared, she was breathing hard momentarily.    ”I really hate doing that.” she muttered  as she looked around.   “Vale?”

The Ripper stopped and turned back towards her. He instantly moved over and rested his hands on her face, feeling her facial structures. Ripper met AC's eyes and checked her pulse, then nodded at her. "You seem rather well. Nothing too traumatizing, I hope?"

In a sterile room laid a young blond woman.  She hadn’t been moved in months maybe years.   She was covered in several blankets but hooked up to multiple machines, the only things keeping her alive.    She had no understanding of what was going on in the world, she was just still.   More or less, everything about her was dead and so she would remain unless something drastic happened.

The door opened with a creak and the Ripper made his way inside. He walked over to her side and sat down, his gloved hands reaching out to take AC’s hand. He sighed, pressing it to his forehead. “Here we are again, love. It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I’m sorry for the absence.” He said behind new lips, which proceeded to find his lover’s hand. 

AC showed no response physically, her brain still had no recognition.   However, one of her hearts had an elevated heartbeat.    Even if she couldn’t respond vocally, a part of her knew he was there.    Though in a very small quantity.

"Here we are again, love. It's been awhile, hasn't it? I'm sorry for the absence." He said behind new lips, which proceeded to find his lover's hand. 

Hearing a knock on the door-Gamma

  “What should I say, Gamma? I told you so? Here you are, beat up and I’m the only one you could think of to help you? That you’re dear old Daddy ended up not being the man you fucking wanted? He wasn’t everything he cracked up to be. He mistreated you and now you don’t like it, he’s going to turn on you? Oh, there’s a shit ton I could say, Gamma.”

"Ok, I get it.  I’m a hypocritical shit stain that deserves to just be left to the dogs.  Tell me something I don’t know," he replied, coughing.  "Do you think I wanted you to know what he did?  Do you think I wanted to come crawling back to you?  If I had ANY other option, I would have let you be.  You would never have seen me again.  Hell, maybe I should have done that anyway and let him kill me.  How do you think AV lost his Gamma?  I think the only difference would be that it is what you would have preferred!"

Ripper took a deep breath and shook his head. "No. I would never wish you dead, Gamma."He stated, crossing his arms. "Damn me, but I still have feelings for you I'd rather you be happy than dead. Even if happy wasn't with me."
