|| Diamond in the Rough|| The Nearly Deads ||
Like an angel sent from Heaven, Nyx had arrived. Jarvis jumped off and cradled Black Jack who was out cold from Firis's attack. Io was stunned as her girlfriend helped her stand, she couldn't take her eyes off of the winged android. Who was Nyx and why was she so palpably familiar? "Be careful. We don't yet know the full capabilities of an Angel Unit yet, Io." Firis warned, holding her protectively. Nyx's wings seemed to vanish as she landed on the ground, graceful, elegant, like a beautiful little bird. "Io." Nyx held her hand out for a shake. "Don't you remember all of our good times together? You used to take care of me and protect me, back before I became like this."
Io's head hurt, she didn't understand. She had nothing to say to Nyx, what mattered right now was taking Jace home to see her lover. "J-Jace." Io swooned, it seemed being attacked by Jace hurt her balance sensor in her body, it was hard to stand up now. "Careful." Firis warned, her words full of passion. "I told you she wouldn't remember." Jarvis said with a cruel chuckle. "Io has always been the disappointment." Nyx's eyes flashed in disapproval. "Don't say that." She murmured quietly, lowering her hand. "No one's a disappointment. Everyone has a meaning in this world, I'm sure Io's doing her best right now." Yes, she was, Io really was doing her best. She just wanted to bring Jace back to the base so that Callisto would smile and be happy. Was that too much to ask for?
"Her intentions are pure, Jace, I can tell." Nyx said after scanning Io with glowing eyes. Jace grimaced, dusting her fist with her free hand. "So Grover was telling the truth, Io's human body really did die." It did? Io didn't know that! Or maybe Callisto had told her already during storytime? She didn't remember. "Please." Io whimpered, feeling sick and tired. "Callisto wants her lover." Why wasn't Jace listening? "Then explain why I got a message from Cali the other day." Jace snarled, crossing her arms, it was clear she didn't want to cooperate. "She was asking for help." Io didn't want to tell her the plan with Firis right here, Io was hoping to convince Firis later on when it wasn't a combat situation. Right now she had to avoid it while still convincing her.
Nyx sighed, looking closely at Jace. "I think we need time to consider the offer." The angel unit said, trying to find a compromise. "Why not let Jace think about it, and in the meantime, Jace send home a message for Cali to hear?" Io looked at Firis, would that be acceptable? "Yeah, we accept." Firis said quickly, it seemed the blue combat unit knew that they couldn't win a fight while this outnumbered. So Jace told Io the secret message in special encrypted code that only Callisto would be able to decode. "You should go home now and deliver the message." Nyx said kindly, patting Io's back with a tracking device made of Grover's state of the art technology. "Who are you?" Firis asked weakly, knees buckling from her balance sensor being broken.
The angel unit gave her a hug. "Most people call me Nyx." She explained, lowering her voice to a whisper. "But you may call me Minnie Reiss."
