“I don’t have time. I have to… I have to find everyone else… take care of anyone else who’s hurt…”

He was shell shocked. There was no polite or gentle way to dance around the realization; the events of the past hour were only slowly starting to sink in. He had been attacked by his own unit. He had killed his own unit. So much… damage… death… destruction had happened, and it was… their fault…

His fault. He had been in charge of them. Trained them, molded them into the monsters they had become- 

Infected them…

He would have continued to murmur on about everything he had to do, but Rebecca’s sudden movement had him pausing. Zero actually smiled before shaking his head and, with a slight arch of his brow, turned to go sideways through the door, avoiding the issue of fitting her through the doorway entirely.

“You don’t have to worry about anything, baby girl.”

“I wanna make sure you’re okay too though, Papa.”

Her response was soft, but she didn’t ask about it again. She went a little pink when he went sideways, a bit embarrassed she hadn’t thought of that. 

Rebecca then let out a yelp when her leg sparked again because of the movement, a bigger one but nothing that wasn’t fixable. She simply got startled, was all.

She looked over at one of the medics and smiled nervously as her father brought her over to a medical table to sit her down. She’d have to keep her armor on for repairs, but at least nothing hurt much and it could be repaired.

It wouldn’t be as scary as the first time she was in here for repairs. Then again, she had been panicking badly that day.
