Bioshock

Yena took the bag and opened it, inspecting the food inside "Alright....good enough. thanks...." She was grateful especially hearing Hope's stomach rumble loudly. Some on the ADAM she had consumed before held a little girl with her stomach rumbling and a man getting her an ice cream. She assumed this meant that Hope was defiantly hungry for actual food "Hope....i dont think that is wise....but alright. But please stay close to me understand?" She let Hope out of the cage and looked at the Big Daddy "Alright....now then. I have one rule and one rule only....you try to hurt Hope, take her away from me or do anything to her, i will personally burn you alive and throw you into an ocean trench...got it?" Yena didnt like to threaten alot but it got it's point across. "Now...we have a room in the Sinclair Deluxe...its a little small but your welcome to stay with us for a while...as long as you follow my rules...ok?" She took Hope's hand and walked towards the Sinclair Deluxe.

After a little while they arrived the hotel and went to a room with a keypad. She entered the number and gestured them to go inside. Inside was a play area with pink wall paper, drawing all over the walls and crayons on the floor. Two beds rested on the far corner, one for Yena and on for Hope "Well Mr. B....i guess i figure something out for you to sleep on...in the mean time....take the meat and cook it with Incinerate....then feed Hope. I am going for a nice cold shower" She chuckled loudly and walked into the small bathroom, turning on the faucet and locking the door. Finally she was at peace

"Thanks Mr.B. This is Yena my big sister. I'm hope. Do you have a name Mr.B?" Hope asked. Once again Micheal struggled to find the words. He was shaking from the effort until he finally produced a noise. "Micheal," Micheal was sweating from the effort. It shocked him that he still retained his normal voice instead of those god forsaken moans of his. It was obvious to Micheal that he would never be able to form sentences in years to come. Pleased with himself Micheal noticed that Hope was smiling. It never occurred to him how fulfilling it was to see that smile. Micheal felt like he was on top of the world again. The happiness that smile made Micheal feel also worried him slightly. I have to keep these big daddy emotions out of the way... well the bad ones anyway. Micheal thought as he accepted the feeling that washed over him with open arms.

After Yena's rules were spoken and they had reached the hotel Micheal relaxed slightly. "Well Mr. B....i guess i figure something out for you to sleep on...in the mean time....take the meat and cook it with Incinerate....then feed Hope. I am going for a nice cold shower."

Micheal nodded and embraced his small number of plasmids. Finally successfully activating incinerate Micheal set some canned meat on a nearby counter and began to cook it. After cooking it Micheal made sure it was cooled down. Striding over Micheal sat down next to Hope and placed the plate of food next to her. Sitting cross legged Micheal looked at Hope through his porthole while occasionally observing the room. Content he changed his porthole to green.

Mr. Ducky roared at the giant thing again. It had totally ignored him, but he still felt like Sarah was in danger. He came back to himself as Sarah yelped in suprise. The cold seawater had reached his chest and touched her toes. She banged on his helmet sharply. "Mr. Ducky. I want out of the water now. Its not fun". Mr. Ducky crouched slightly, into a more defensive position and Sarah screamed. The water had reached her waist, and it pinned her small dress to her body. She hit him again but he ignored it. He slowly scooted through the water until he'd managed to follow the giant man through the tunnel and out past the large doorway. He had no interest in being caught in a sealed off tunnel.

Sarah hit Mr. Ducky sharply this time. The cold wasn't really a bother, she barely felt it, but she didn't want to get any wetter. Already water was creeping up her dress, and it clung to her sharply, throwing in sharp relief her frail body. She growled softly as the water reached her chin, and she pulled herself up onto Mr. Ducky's shoulder, pulling herself out of the water. She peered curiously at the giant metallic man who had ignored Mr. Ducky's battle cry. She'd been shocked when he roared. He only did it when confronted with a large number of Splicers, and he thought there was a chance he might lose the impending fight. She assumed it was mostly to reassure himself that he was strong. She smiled softly as she hugged Mr. Ducky's head hard, her frail arm doing next to nothing to impede his vision.

Reaver looked at the Greek symbol, studying it for a second. "That means Epsilon; the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet. So, that's your brand? You're the fifth Big Daddy of your model, correct?" He observed the model closely. "You must be one of the few protective models. You weren't branded to a Little Sister. I've done a bit of research on your model. You're the first one I've seen physically, though. I heard you were all des-"

He was cut off by the thunderous roar of the second Big Daddy. He wasn't sure if it was roaring at him, or just roaring in general. The roar was loud enough to send him into a fit of pain, though. His charred arm from 'Incinerate!' suddenly went back to it's swollen self. His head twisted in pain as his teeth scraped against each other. He grabbed his arm swiftly, before letting go and getting out his shotgun. This pain was worse than what he had normally suffered; his eyed had blurred. He could hear Epsilon and the other Big Daddy, but seeing was just blurs spinning in circles. "Oh God, oh god oh god..." Reaver mumbled to himself, wandering backwards in blindness and pain.

Yena came out of the shower, sighing happily "Ohh that feels so much better" She giggled a little, giving into her Little Sister side and went into the closet, shutting the door. She changed into a clean suit she had gotten before. She left the needle on her bed and attached the spear gun on her left arm "Now then Michael....thank you for feeding my Hope...as long as you keep her happy then i am all for you staying with us....just follow the rule....Hope honey, once your finished, brush your teeth and get into bed....Ill read you a story once im done" She smiled watching the two, feeling almost like........a mother. She shrugged it off and just sat there content with the Little Sister and their new Big Daddy

Sitting down Micheal enjoyed the peace. It soothed him almost as much as being with Hope. Though it pained him to think about losing her. He feared that he had let himself become soft and he may have ended up bonding with Hope like any of the alpha series would. Micheal sighed, and began to wonder if his face was even the same underneath the helmet. Before he could contemplate on taking it off Yena walked out of the shower. She was happy, and that reassured Micheal that he was going to be in this world for a few more days at least. After she picked up her spear gun Micheal froze. What if she was going to kill him? He wouldn't fight back of course. I mean Hope would be better off with Yena any day. "Now then Michael....thank you for feeding my Hope...as long as you keep her happy then i am all for you staying with us....just follow the rule....Hope honey, once your finished, brush your teeth and get into bed....Ill read you a story once im done" Yena finished with a smile. Micheal began thinking if he was capable of actually taking Hope from Yena. Micheal concluded that he would rather die than putting them in harms way. For Hope was Yena's sister, not his. He could never take something as precious as Hope from Yena.

Yes, Hope was safe with Yena. even if Micheal wanted to hurt Hope his big daddy urges would stop him. And if Micheal's big daddy urges wanted him to take Hope for his own. If he was unable to resist he would commit suicide to avoid that scenario. Micheal was a prisoner by his own compulsions, well most of them anyway. Micheal could still resist nearly all big daddy urges, but he was afraid there were new ones yet to come. Micheal could only think of one more way to reassure Yena that he meant no harm. He put a war worn hand on her shoulder, gazed into her eyes through his porthole, and he put his other hand on his heart. There is a man under here.... a kind man. That will never change. Hopefully she caught the meaning of his gesture.

Hope scarfed down the meat. It filled her human side up and made a warm feeling come over her. She looked at the big daddy who was named Micheal. 'that's a good name...Micheal.' She thought to herself. She nodded her head and jumped off of her seat and put her dish into the sink. There was an odd feeling in the pit of her stomach. A feeling that she had become good friends with over time. It was worry. She had just eaten food. Little Sisters shouldn't be able to eat food and she had just scarfed down a plate of meat in front of two people. She knew that Yena wouldn't ever harm her but she didn't trust Micheal yet. He was a Big Daddy. Little Sisters are supposed to be with a Big Daddy not a Big Sister but Hope knew that she could never bring herself to do that to Yena. She loved Yena like...well a sister and if Yena found out and didn't accept the fact that Hope was half monster half girl then well...Hope would be homeless again.

Hope snapped out of her thoughts as Yena walked into the room. She grinned at her sister and watched as she walked into the closet to change into a different suit. Hope giggled a bit when she saw her walk out with the spear gun attached to her arm. "Alright Yena and don't worry he doesn't want to break the rule." She said as she looked at Micheal and gave an encouraging smile.

Hope ran off into the bathroom to brush her teeth. She looked in the mirror and let out a gasp. Her cheeks had become a rosy pink. Cautiously she put a hand up to her cheek. The spot was warm instead of cold. She didn't know what had caused it but she did know that she loved that spot. Quickly she brushed her teeth and then gave another look in the mirror. The pink was still there she almost looked like an...elf. She chuckled a bit at the thought of comparing herself to an elf.

Hope walked out of the washroom just in time to see Micheal put a hand on Yena's shoulder. She smiled at them both. It was almost like they were a family...an odd disabled messed up family. She walked over besides Yena. "You can try and decipher that one for yourself." She grinned knowing what Micheal meant. She walked to the back of the room and sat on her bed that was covered in pink sheets...and some blood. She laid down on the bed looking up at the ceiling. She knew that this must be hard for Micheal she knew that he would still have his big daddy urges to steal her and keep her safe. She just hoped that he wouldn't follow his instincts. Because if he did she didn't know what she would do. She wouldn't be able to defend Yena it would be almost impossible. Somewhere deep inside of her she knew what she would do. She would run just like the coward she is.

James looked at the figure that just saved him, the figure had black clothing including a black hood James couldn't make out it's face. James wanted to say thank you but the words didn't come out of his mouth the only thing he could pay attention to was the little sister crying over her big daddy.

The figure picked up the little sister and a white light that blinded James appeared from the figures hand and in a flash the little sister was turned back into a normal girl "thank you" the girl said, and then she ran off. James noticed he had a cramped leg and couldn't move, the dark figure helped James up and helped him to the bathysphere.

The two finally got to the bathysphere the dark figure set James down on a seat, pulled the lever, and walked out of the bathysphere "wait where are you going?" James asked. The figure said nothing just walked into darkness and disapeared.
As James looked at the lever he noticed he was headed to Paupers drop the place he grew up in, the place where dad died.

[OOC: Hey guys, check out the OOC if you can. Lemme know what you think!]

Yena smiled as Hope went off into the bathroom "Man...she is growing up so fast...seems like only yesturday i found her crying over a Bouncer" She smiled and looked at Michael put a hand over his heart "I understand.....thank you Michael" She smiled at him, closing her eyes as she did it. She was still a Little Sister in somethings....her mood sometimes shifted between Big Sister and Little Sister. In this case, her Little sister side came out for a second before Hope came back out and got into bed. Yena got up and walked to her and sat down on the bed, taking out a book "So what do you think of Michael Hope? Think we should let him rest for a while or make him do guard duty tonight?" She giggled and opened the book, waiting for Hope's reply

Satisfied that he was understood Micheal watched as the pair retreated to the corner where the beds were. Micheal was gripped by a bitter yet happy thought. I finally have purpose..... but now I'm stuck in this hell hole as long as Hope, and Yena reside here. Sighing Micheal sat down by the door and took watch duty. It was the least he could do seeing as how Yena saved him before. Micheal began to ponder on why his Big Daddy conditioning was beginning to unravel. I can think again, why is this so? Micheal wasn't exactly angry with the fact that he woke up in the now falling apart rapture, but he wasn't happy about it either. Micheal rubbed the top of his helmet trying to remember some facts other than his name. So far he could only remember common knowledge about the things around him.

Giving up on trying to remember Micheal just sat there, closing his eyes and embracing all of the noises around him.

James didn't know if he could believe the radio transmission as he's been tricked before, either way James would head to Apollo square once the gunshots on top of the diners roof disapeare.

The gunshots stopped James was about to get up when he saw a man walking to the bathyspheare James froze.
James was looking at the man he noticed the man had a normal face not a ugly menacing face like those goddamn splicers like himself he thought. What are the odds of meeting someone with a normal face, James got up and ran for the man.

"Hey wait up!" The man turned around pointing his shotgun at James "no,no,no I'm sane" James said. "Then why's your face all fucked up?" "I've only tried ADAM once in my life. So uh you hear the radio transmission for Apollo Square?"
"Yeah, anyway my names Tucker." "I'm James." And the two were off to the bathyspheare to Apollo Square

((I'm just assuming we keep a radio for us all to share or something in our...room thing))

Hope giggled at Yena and shook her head. "Mr.Bubbles. Come over here. You don't need to be alone anymore." She said knowing that she wasn't just talking about that moment. She meant forever. If MIcheal wanted to he could stay with Yena and her. Imagine that, a Big Sister and a Big Daddy. They'd be like...a family. Before he could reply she heard a rustling noise on a radio that was sitting on the kitchen counter. No one had tried to communicate with them in a long time so it usually remained dead but it had started to fuzz. Hope jumped out of her bed throwing back the covers and ran to the radio. She turned the dial until she could hear the voice clearly.

She listened closely to the transmission and then the radio went back to static. she stared blankly at the radio not really sure what to do. Change Rapture? That would mean...that it would be normal. That would mean she would be able to move around as she wished without having to worry about dying. Maybe she could even find someone who could fully cure her. She looked out a window and into the ugly city of rapture. She heard screams and rumbles and the streets were covered and blood and other unmentionable things. She knew what she was doing and she didn't care if her Big Sister didn't want her too she had too. It was something that must be done.

"I"m going." She said no longer using her soft and sweet little sister voice. Her voice was rough and broken and was one that was filled with sadness. It was her girl voice. To some it may sound almost...depressing but it was a joy to her ears to her herself again. Rarely did she ever use her voice but when she did it automatically made her smile a bit. "I would like it if you both came with me but if you don't want to then I understand. Rapture needs to change I'm not just going to sit here and watch it die. So what do you say?" She said, again not using her little sister voice. She stood by the door. She gave a glance down to Micheal and then looked at Yena.

Yena cocked a head at the radio transmission and Hope. She felt her temper starting to rise and she shook her head "Dont think for even a second your going alone Hope. Im going with you.....we need to pack some clothes for you. And some toys.......and i need to gear up on some plasmids..." She put her helmet on and popped the seals on her helmet "Michael.........grab clothes and throw them into the bag underneathe the bed....ill keep Hope with me" She grabbed the radio and Hope at once, putting Hope gently into the cage on her shoulder. She went into the bathroom and grabbed her ADAM needle and slapped it onto her arm. She walked out of the hotel and went to the edge of their defense perimeter and stood their, waiting for Michael to come out of their room

"Hope........we are going together as a family. But one thing you must do.........please do not leave my sight...even for a second. Splicers from all over Rapture are going to be moving and i do not want them getting even close to you...ok? I love you...........and i dont want to lose you Hope...." She smiled inside her helmet and waited for Michael with Hope safely in the cage on her shoulder

"Mr.Bubbles. Come over here. You don't need to be alone anymore." Hope said. Happiness welled up in his stomach as he heard her say those words. However before he could get up, the radio crackled to life. Micheal sat back down and listened intently. After the Radio went silent Hope looked out of the window. No..... please no.... Hope uttered two words that shook him with fear. "I'm going," She said in a normal little girls voice. To shocked to be devastated Micheal wondered, why wasn't she a full little sister. How stupid I have been Micheal thought furiously, as an influx of information about little sisters came rushing back to him. Though the most important info that hit him was that they could be saved! Excited Micheal searched his mind for plasmids. finding a third unknown one Micheal concluded that someone must've given it to him when he was in his trance like state months ago. Finding the plasmid Micheal reached for his inner power that would release the plasmid into his palm, but it slipped away. Blinking quickly Micheal continued to try and activate it 12 more times. After failing the 12th time Micheal gave up. Maybe I'm incapable of using it... Micheal thought bleakly.


"I would like it if you both came with me but if you don't want to then I understand. Rapture needs to change I'm not just going to sit here and watch it die. So what do you say?" She said, again not using her little sister voice. Micheal's panic came back again when he realized Hope would be put in harms way. Micheal stood and looked down on Hope. After a pause Micheal nodded his head, and changed his porthole to green. He would defend her with his life, even if it meant sacrificing himself he would do it with a smile. I am her sheild, and Yena is her sword. I will not fail her. Yena will not fail her. We will succeed

Picking up Hope's bag of items, Micheal jogged out to Yena. Giving her a thumbs up he waited for her to lead the way.

James and Tucker waited in the bathyspheare when a british voice came over the radio "attention all of Rapture a man by the name of Joe Anderson once planned on destroying our great ADAM, and now his son James Anderson plans on continuing his work you will bring me his head." After the voice stopped the bathyspheare did to "let me geuss your James Anderson?" Tucker asked "yeah but I have no interest in destroying ADAM."

The bathyspheare door opened in the Medical Pavilion and splicers from everywhere started charging for the bathyspheare to kill him. James shot one splicer only to hear the dreadful clicking sound he had no ammo left. Tucker killed two splicers with one shot then turning around tossing a pistol to James.

Hope smiled at Yena and nodded her head. "I promise." She said as she crawled into the cage and got comfortable at the back. She smiled at the fact that Yena had referred to them all as a family. Yeah, they were a family. At least for now they could be a family. She smiled at Micheal as his porthole turned green. "Good to know your with us Mr.Bubbles." She said once again back in her little sister voice. She wasn't really prepared to fully reveal herself. She knew that it would probably have to happen soon especially if she wanted help being cured. She just needed to find the right time to tell Yena, which she was afraid she might never be able to do. "Alright then. With you two her to protect me and me to keep you two entertained and inline nothing can go wrong!" She exclaimed and she let out a little girly laugh at the end. "So Yena, you lead the way. To a better rapture!" She said as she pointed onwards.

Yena smiled inside of her helmet "Hope....your so not normal...and thats what i love about you.." She chuckled and started to walk "Ok..the transmittion said to go to Apollo Square...that a good distance away. We need to get to a bathosphere and head there...however, i dont know where one is Hope. Maybe we can use our new big daddy to help us find it" She turned to Michael and pointed at him "Michael.......go find a bathosphere. We will follow close behind you..." She turned some knobs on her needle and check her speargun before climbing on Michael's back like she used too when she was a little sister

James loaded his pistol and started killing splicers one by one they dropped, Tucker shot a splicer in the head and a lot of blood filled the room blood on the walls on the ceiling everywhere "they need a new paint job" Tucker said sarcasticlly.

The splicers finally came to an end with complete silence echoing the room. Tucker and Jamse both got into the bathyspheare and left to Apollo Square. "Who was that guy that told all those splicers to kill you?" Tucker asked. "I don't know but if I ever meet him I plan on putting a bullet in his head." James replied. The two finally arrived in Apollo Square.

"So where do we go now?" James asked "I don't know, I thought they'd meet up with us." "What if they do meet up with us Tucker and put a bullet in our brains." James said sorrowful.

Yena turned to Michael and pointed at him, "Michael.......go find a bathosphere. We will follow close behind you..." She said as she climbed onto his back. This shocked Micheal, it was also very new to him. He never had a sister of anykind on his back or shoulder before, but now he knew why big daddies liked their pair bonds on their shoulders. Carrying the weight easily Micheal trudged forward. A few steps forward his big daddy haze that coated his vision slowly lifted, allowing him to recall where things were in paupers drop.

Micheal lumbered down a series of hallways in search of the bathosphere. Micheal concluded that the bathosphere was on the other side of Paupers drop after he sifted through his memories. After trudging past the restaurants Micheal began to hear jittering coming from dark corners. Soon after that he saw the twisted shadows moving rapidly in the corners of his vision. Micheal broke into a jog once he confirmed the splicers were converging on their position.

Micheal stopped once he reached a long hallway with a door at the end. This door should lead to the bathosphere room. Micheal quickly thought. Stopping once he noticed the splicers were closing the gap between them Micheal picked Yena up off of his back and gently set her down. Pointing to wards the door Micheal motioned for them to run. They can run faster than me. I can't afford to slow Hope, and Yena down.

Loosing a war cry Micheal sent a bolt of lightning at the first splicer that turned the corner into their hallway. Micheal's porthole turned red as he began to back pedal to the Bathosphere room while unleashing sporadic bolts of lightning at the horde of splicers.

James and Tucker sat in front of the bathyspheare to eat and rest when a voice came over the intercom "Attention Rapture I offer 10,000 ADAM for the one that brings me James Andersons head." The british voice said.

"This guy doesn't give up, I have no interest in ADAM I just want to get outta here." James said hastily, just then the bathyspheare started moving down " wonder where thats going?" Tucker said. "Well it's probably those goddamn splicers let's get movin." James replied.

"You have no idea." yena said underneath her breath as Yena commented on how she was different. She nodded her head as Yena explained where there where they were going to have to go. Yena told Micheal to go find a bathysphere and climbed onto his back. It felt a bit weird to be on someones back who was on someones back. Hope sat in the back of her cage and played with the bows that she had tied onto the bars. Hope started to worry once they were in unknown territory she could hear scattering and she told herself that it was just her imagination but she knew better then that. For the first time since her half transformation she wished she was a full little sister. Then she wouldn't have to listen to all of this or see all this ugliness.

They came to a long hallway with a door at the end of it. Hope froze when she saw the splicers she looked through her cage and shuddered as she saw the ugly monsters. They were getting closer and the light hit their ugly mutated bodies. All of them wanted one thing, ADAM. Hope was a great supply of that. Micheal took Yena off of his shoulder and set her down on the ground. Hope looked at Micheal through the cage and shook her head. "We're supposed to run Yena." She said, her eyes still glued on Micheal. She stuck her hand of the cage and managed to just barley touch Micheal before he went off in a rage. "Be safe Mr.Bubbles." She said, returning to the back of her cage.

Yena gave a loud shriek as she bolted away from the fight. But before she ran she fired off three spears from her spear gun and a bunch of fireballs, hoping Michael could take care of the rest. She ran into the door that Michael pointed to and down a series of long corridors before she came to a fork "Damn......which way......" She took a chance and went through the right fork and ended up in the bathosphere chamber "Yes......0k....now for Michael" She took a hand to the cage and undid one of the ribbons and went back to the fork, tying the ribbon over the hallway. If Michael saw it, he would know to take the right fork "Come on Hope, lets go and wait for Mr. Bubbles in the reception area" She took off her helmet again and smiled sweetly at Hope, her sickly yellow eyes looked at Hope fondly and happily

James and Tucker arrived at Fontaines home for the poor to look for supplies "hey James I'll look down stares you look upstairs." Tucker said. "Got it" James replied. James walked up the stares with his pistol in hand checking room after room.

James saw two splicers searching a body one of them turned around and charged at James, James shot him then the other one turned around he shot that one too. Searching their bodies James found: potted meat, sardines, and potato chips. "Jackpot" James said to himself, James started his treck back to Tucker.
