first words
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"how is he?" Blank asked Luna who just entered the lab
"he's ok, he is speaking now"
Blanks eyes widened "speaking? what do you mean speaking? he just woke up"
Luna shrugged, "i guess he over heard us and learned a few things"
Luna looked over at 72's case that was now being cleaned, a scientist came over to Luna and Blank holding a small test tube of 72's blood, a blood test was part of the procedure
"sir, we did a blood test on him, we still dont know why he has transformed like that"
Blank took the tube in his hands, surprising of how warm it is
"then find out why" Blank barked
the scientist nodded and ran back to his station
"it was that transfusion"
Blank looked over at Luna, who's eyes were locked on the test tube in Blank's hands
"here take it, you are responsible of him" Blank said holding out the test tube
Luna frowned and took it from his hands
"its both our responsibility for him" Luna said holding up the tube
Blank shrugged and walked away
Luna knew that something was not right, he was dying to create both 72 and 62, and now that he has them... its not his responsibility anymore? its just like pleading for a pet and never feeding it when you get it
Luna looked at the tube filled with 72's blood, she knew that she needed to find out why he changed
-----------------------------------------------------
Luna headed back to the room 72 was in. the moment she entered Blank was there. hovering over a resting 72, curled up in the blanket Luna gave him
Luna knew not to talk back to her boss, but how badly she wanted him away from 72
"sir?"
Blank tore his gaze away from 72 and onto Luna, he smirked
"fine creature isnt he?"
'hes no creature' Luna thought
Luna watched Blank reach down and touch 72's hair. 72 stirred in his sleep
Blank grinned and reached down to hold 72's face, suddenly, 72's eyes opened
they both stared at each other for a while when Blank moved away from 72, 72 locked his eyes on Luna, wanting to be with her
"some eyes he got there" Blank said gazing at the machines that were around 72
Luna felt 72's eyes on her. she waited until Blank left the room to be with 72
"hey there, had a good sleep?" Luna said
72 stared at her, she could see that he was angry
"d-dont like" 72 said, his voice almost a whisper
"what dont you like?" Luna asked
72 pointed to the door
"you dont like the door?"
72 shook his head and jerked his finger at the door again
"oh you dont like him"
72 nodded
"dont like" he repeated
"yea, i dont like him either" Luna agreed with him
Luna took out some items from a drawer and held a small flashlight up to 72's eyes
"stay still" Luna said as she flashed the light into his eyes
Luna watched his eyes as she shone the light into them, 72 stood still as he watched
"good, now follow" Luna said shining the light in a different direction, his eyes followed every direction Luna gave
"fast learner" Luna said, as she was about the put the flash light away, 72 gently picked it up from her hands
"hey give it back" Luna said
72 ignored her and fiddled with it
gently, Luna grabbed the flashlight form his hands and pulled it away
"give" she said.
"g-give' 72 repeated
Luna smiled and placed the flashlight into his hands again
"give" she said, and 72 gave her the flashlight
Luna smiled, knowing that he has learned his first command, but he has many more to learn and do.
"Luna" he whispered
"yes?"
"like" he said pointing at her
"like me?" Luna said
72 nodded
Luna placed the covers back on him, 72 held it in his hands
"blanket" Luna said
"b-blanket?" 72 said
Luna nodded "yes blanket"
72 smiled and closed eyes, Luna pulled the blanket closer to him
"get some rest, we have a big day tomorrow" Luna said as she watched 72 doze off in another sleep.
Luna headed back into her office and laid down on her bed. thoughts about 72 filed her head. she knew that she had to find out how 72's DNA has been altered, and the transfusion was the only answer
