A Hope in the Dark

@tinysonoflight

I can't do it. I'm supposed to, but I can't. I'm too... flawed. Broken. A bad prototype. I tried to fight but I couldn't do it, so I ran away. I'm not a hero, or Father's symbol of hope. I'm just me. Maybe there's somewhere that will be enough? ((An independent and AU Protoverse... well, Proto/Blues! He's on the run from his world and is all of eight years old, both physically and mentally.))

Where's Mama?

She should watch this with us.

A-ri-sto-cats~

I'M STILL HERE I AM I AM.

I've just been reading lots of things.

Hello ...

Oh! Hello there, Blues. How are you?

Um. Well… I have a Mama now.

And a support unit!

He helps me since my optics don’t work.

Y-You… Have a mother? That’s great to hear!

That’s something I don’t have…

Yeah! She kept me when I told her I couldn't go home.

She's very nice.

I need more hugs.

I am running low on hug power.

This is not good.

I bet my optics look scary now...

Mama!

Hey, Kiddo! How’re you?

Of course sweetie!

Mister Tom is mad because the man who made you was a careless man who didn’t think. He’s not mad at you. Why, I bet he adores you.

Ohhhhh. Um.

Do I look scary?

Mama!

Hey, Kiddo! How’re you?

He sniffles and bobs his head, hugging her and trying to hide against her.

It was so scary Mama. So scary.

I know. Mommy’s seen equal horrorterrors herself. All will be well. Let’s find gasoline.

Yes mama. Please mama.

You need a good book or movie. Or would you like to play outside?

Movie and snuggles.

Something with colors!

Colours? Hmm. I don’t know many movies with bright colours. Princess Bride?

YES IT IS.

Okay!

Will you describe stuff to me?

He leans against her, snuggling and hiding his face against her.

Mister Tom was mad when he saw he couldn't fix my optics...

Mama!

Nova bolts over and scoops him up, cuddling and kissing him repeatedly on his cheeks before rubbing his back. HER BABY. HERS.

He clings to her and sobs, hiding his face against her and shivering.

Why is there a mini me with brown hair in here and where did he come from?

… And why is he bouncing like that?

Oops. He’s one of your alternates. I adopted him.

Blues, leave Joseph alone honey.

But Mama, I like him!

Can he have some cake or candy he should try it it’s really, really, really good.

…No thanks.

I think everyone in here’s had more than enough sweets.

He’s hurt Blues.

And he can eat if he wants but I need to get the food. He doesn’t want to see Mister Tom or The Doctor.

Oh... how bad?

And I was scared of mister Tom at first, too.
