Skye Prower

"I, er, uh, nothing... like that... I'm just.... a little... nervous about the idea," Melody lied.

"Y-yeah." Skye looked around. "Hope's s-still not a-awake yet? And Uncle Shadow..." Skye turned towards Shadow with a slightly accusatory look, "Why d-didn't y-you t-tell me I w-was stammering?"

"T-that's good." said Skye as he slowly sat up in the bed. "I h-hope she d-didn't sabotage a-anything else." ---------------- "Trying to bribe us eh?" asked Melody with a twisted grin, which then fell away. Her eyes began to study the floor. "Actually I'm... not sure... that would be... a good idea."

"We... g-got the c-chip o-out Uncle Shadow... D-did you c-catch... the person b-behind it?" ----------------------- "If he doesn't calm down you'll need to wait behind me Crowley," hissed Melody getting more annoyed at Prime Glen's (unintentional) insults towards her family. Her hand began moving towards some of the cutlery. (ooc: Good point Shadow. I'll have Skye and Zet meet in a bit, once Skye is back on his feet.)

"You make it sound like being a Mongoose is a bad thing!" contested Melody angrily. (ooc: I was planning to have Skye pay a visit to Zet, but then this little incident happened!)

"Thanks A-Auntie Rouge." Skye picked up the cap and tried it on, making sure it covered his ears. "Heh heh. P-perfect fit."

"This m-might... sound w-weird but... please d-don't t-tell Dad.... w-what happened t-today... He's too... p-protective of Melody a-and Me... he m-might n-not let u-us.... out of s-sight..." Skye lay down on the bed, somewhat exhausted after talked. He raised his head again slightly and gave a weak smile. "One m-more thing... Could I.... h-have one o-of those... caps w-with the GUN l-logo?" --------------------------- "So much for a breakfast with just the family.... Speaking of family, do you know where Skye is Dad?"

"T-thank's... Auntie Rouge... Could y-you... do o-one more... thing for m-me?" --------------------------- "Should we warn her to stay away from the hotel for a while then?" Melody asked. (ooc: No worries Shadow)

Melody rolled her eyes. "At least we don't have to worry about me and Skye meeting ourselves. For a couple of decades or so. But, uh, what's Ziona got to do with Glen?"

Melody paused eating as her ears pricked up. "Did I just hear Glen talking to himself?"

"Aww! Thanks Daddy," Melody grinned, then sat down and began tucking into her breakfast.

Skye groggily came back round. "I g-guess... the p-panic's... over then?" He tried to weakly stand, but promptly slid over again. He clutched his side in agony. "I t-think... maybe I-I... lost m-more blood... than I-I t-thought..."

Skye smiled, "T-thank g-goodness," and promptly fainted.

After several tense minutes of work, Skye slowly pulled the chip free. "Right I think t-that's done it. I-is she okay? Please t-tell m-me she's okay." ------------------- Melody looked wide eyed at the table spread. "Wow Daddy. This is awesome. Thankyouthankyouthankyou!"

(ooc: I don't know because Shadow is running this story.)

(ooc: I've no idea who it is. What's your guess Dylan?)

Wiping away the blood, Skye took a good look at the revealed chip, then used the machines to project an x-ray onto a nearby screen. "Hmm, total c-control and a m-minor burn o-out c-circuit. I-I'll have to be c-careful. I n-need to re-route some c-connections s-so the chip doesn't r-register w-when it's being r-removed." Skye's voice had a tone as if he was commenting on the weather.

Skye took a deep breath. "I'm m-more used t-to putting t-these into p-people." Very carefully, he began to slice open the surface of the bulge. (occ: so is it a chip in there, or something else? And if it is a chip, how scary/advanced is it.

Skye looked unbelievably guilty. "Yeah, I-I, uh, d-did in t-the past. No t-time for that n-now. First t-thing, make sure H-hope is securely s-strapped down. If she even twitches d-during the removal, s-she might be paralysed, o-or worse." Skye quickly set up the magnification equipment he'd taken from lab and picked up some fine manipulation tools.

Skye grabbed some equipment from the lab and started following Rouge. "I'm o-okay. Don't w-worry about m-me until w-we've saved H-hope. I-if it's s-some kind of c-chip in her n-neck I c-can help r-remove i-it. I've h-had e-experience with those. Especially i-if it's booby t-trapped to f-fry her mind i-if removed. T-that what the o-ones I d-designed and u-used were....erm, uh, I mean, I've s-seen those d-designs before." --------------------------------- "Right. Breakfast here we come!" Melody hurried out of the room.

"I d-don't know. S-she just suddenly started a-attacking me. I t-think it's p-probably something to d-do w-with this thing i-in her n-neck. Oh, and d-don't worry about t-the b-blood. Hope i-isn't h-hurt, it's just m-mine." ------------------- Melody tried to picture Skye gong out with a hovering crystal, and burst into another giggling fit.

"If t-there is s-something in y-your neck, t-the last thing I want t-to do is j-just yank it o-out. Thankfully there's p-plenty of s-stuff in the lab t-to analysis it with." Skye went to set up some equipment, then paused by the radio. "I c-can't call s-security, they probably w-won't believe me. And S-shadow is busy. So..." He hit the radio. "Rouge? C-can you c-come to the lab r-right away p-lease?" (ooc: and off to dinner now. See you when I get back)

"I'm really sorry about this Hope but..." Skye began as he prepared to counter-attack, but stopped when she screamed and fell. He swooped down. "Hope? A-are you ok? W-what wrong w-with you?" Skye then spotted the small bulge as he picked her up. "What i-is that?"

"W-what do you mea... GAH!" Skye turned round and only just managed to through himself out of the way, the screwdriver still managing to cut a small gash in his side. Clutching at the wound, Skye took off, hovering out of Hope's reach. "Hope? W-what are y-you doing?"

"Oh D-Darn I-IT! Why d-did no o-one t-tell me?" Skye sighed. "I c-can't d-do anything a-about that now. O-once I get back I s-should be a-a-able to f-fix it." (ooc: Stupid selfish little kid, too wrapped up in his own self)
