Trinity Blood Fan Fiction / Weiss Kreuz Fan Fiction ❯ Darker Angels ❯ Thoughts and Memories ( Chapter 13 )

*********************

 

“Abel, Cain, did you know that all of the answers to any question in the Universe is known to us the moment we come to be in this world?”

 

“How can that be, Domina? If that's true, why do we spend all of our lives searching for those answers?” Abel asked, his eyebrows drawing down in confusion.

 

“Because we grow up. We begin to believe when those around us tell us that certain things are not possible due to their own willing ignorance. We begin to forget all the answers and lose the perfection we came to life with. Some of us spend our entire lifetimes searching for those answers again only to be frustrated when we find a small part of them rather than all. But if you never remember another word I say, remember this. No one is ever fully good or fully evil we are all a balance of both. There is light in the darkest of souls just as there is some small spot of darkness in the brightest.”

 

“You could never have a dark spot in your soul, Domina,” Cain said with a yawn then proceeded to snuggle closer to her.

 

She laughed and ruffled his hair affectionately. “Oh, my darling boy, there have been things I've done in my years that would make all of your pretty hair stand on end without benefit of your Crusnik form. The most unforgiving person in our lives is usually ourselves. You can not hold so tightly to the past that you lose your grip on the future. Nothing can go backward; it must always go forward from whatever point it begins.”

 

 

Blaze jerked back to the present wondering to herself what had brought on that sudden memory. The conversation she'd been remembering had taken place nearly a thousand years ago. Strange that her mind had chosen to have her recall that particular conversation.

 

“Mom,” Takara said from the doorway. “Do you think you'll be okay until Gun gets back? I have a couple of things I need to go check on but I can stay if you need me to.”

 

“Would those couple of things happen to be Dietrich and Isaak? Don't look so shocked, I knew it had to be you or Star. If it had been Star then Jeirn would have been bitching long before now. Getting anything out of them aside from personal satisfaction and entertainment?”

 

“Should have known. Yes, Dietrich is a fount of knowledge and Isaak has let quite a few things slip unbeknownst to him.” She paused thoughtfully for a moment. “You said that some of the nano machines were damaged; that's why he isn't healing properly and keeps popping in and out of Crusnik, right.”

 

“Yes. Why?”

 

“I was just thinking, I wonder if the machines designed to repair the ones that run his Crusnik form were destroyed or damaged as well. They surely have those to guard against damage. It only makes sense because the nano machines weren't designed to come out of his body so they'd have to put something in to fix any problems.”

 

“You're probably right but I don't know that to be a fact. What did you have in mind?”

 

“I wonder if there are blueprints or design sketches of the nano machines that do the repair work.”

 

“If there are they'd be close to a thousand years old by now so who knows what kind of condition they'd be in.”

 

“Hmm. Maybe I can engineer the proper machines. If I can't, I might be able to just pull them from the designs directly. I'd have to practice a little with it though since I don't use that ability all that much.”

 

“I always did think that was a neat trick you and Honey are capable of. Not everyone can pull something directly out of a drawing or make inanimate objects live. I'll contact Seth when Gun gets back and see if she can get a fix on those designs.”

 

“Great. I'll be back in a little bit, Mom,” she said, heading out the door.

 

“Be careful,” Blaze said.

 

“I will, don't worry.”

 

Blaze sighed and waved her on. She looked down at Abel, now resting peacefully with his head on her chest. He was still slightly cold but seemed to be warmer than he had been.

 

 

 

Star was snuggled comfortably in her husband's lap, listening to him plot strategy with Leon, William and Hugue of all people. Typical boys, she thought, trying to kill eachother one minute and best friends the next. Though that analogy would have a bit on the extreme side. It was obvious Hugue still wasn't crazy about them being there, falsely believing that AX could handle all of this by themselves but at least they were making progress. That was a good thing considering the emissaries from the Methuselah were due to arrive in two days.

 

*i want a coin operated boy.

and if i had a star to wish on
for my life i cant imagine
any flesh and blood could be his match
i can even take him in the bath

 

 

As she played absently with one of the many gold hoops in Jeirn's left ear she noticed something odd. Tres had been watching them from the time she had plopped herself into her husband's lap. What was more interesting was that she *felt* his curiosity. Fascinating. She tried mentally poking him a couple of times to no avail. Though she did see his cock his head as though listening for something he couldn't quite hear.

 

coin operated boy
he may not be real experienced with girls
but i know he feels like a boy should feel
isnt that the point that is why i want a
coin operated boy*

 

 

//Hey, Will, what's up with the coin operated boy? Don't say it, just think it and I'll hear you.//

 

//You know, that ability of yours is quite intriguing. However, to answer your question, I upgraded his programming and enhanced his outer casing to give him tactile sensations.”

 

//In English, Doc.//

 

//Meaning there are enough sensors per square centimeter to give him the sensation of touch.//

 

//So, it basically functions like human skin.//

 

//Correct.//

 

//Spiffy. Does he happen to have all the right boy bits as well?//

 

//If you're asking is he sexually functional, yes.//

 

//All I wanted to know.// She sat back and temporarily found the thread of the other conversation again before getting bored and turning her attention back to Tres. A plan was starting to form in her head but she'd have to be careful not to let any of it slip to Jeirn. //Hey, Bitch.//

 

//Yeah, Star?//

 

//You and I need to have a conversation about your little hot bot.//

 

//Dear gods, dare I ask?//

 

//I'll tell you when I see you.//

 

Takara rolled her eyes. Divine only knew what Star had found out. She shuddered and had the horrible mental image of the other woman asking Tres if he had a belly button.

The song used in this chapter is Coin Operated Boy by the Dresden Dolls. It just always makes me think of Tres.
