Delta's Days.

"Okay, I am going to try and communicate with you, if you can understand me, make a noise again." Sweet Jesus, an opportunity. I groaned again. "Again." I did so. "Again." I did again. This went on for at least half an hour, each time the smile on his face seemed to grow a little.

"You're either the luckiest...thing ever, or you are in fact intelligent. I am going to try and realign your bones, if I do it wrong make a noise again." Nope, nope nope nope nope. I lifted my upper body up, with great pain mind you, and then my right hand. I started to make a motion with my hands as though I had a pencil in my hand. "You-you can write?" I nodded my head. "...And you can nod your head...that would have sped things up..." ...Dammit, he's right...but it hurts so much.

"Okay, well I am going to go get a quill and inkwell, I'll be right back." Well...I don't really need to escape, and from what I can see he seems rather interested in helping, or at least preserving me. He came back through a different door than he exited from, this place seems pretty confusing to me.

"All right, where do you come from?" He handed me the paper.

+Fix my bones first please?+ He looked kind of surprised, and then a bit sheepish...what's a sheep? How do you look like a sheep?

"Haha...yeah, sorry. Tell me if I mess anything up okay?" I nodded again. I felt the same feeling as earlier, that flowing water sensation, though this time it seemed more...forceful, like it was trying to guide my body into position, which honestly is what it was probably doing. I felt my bones begin to realign, each one was quite painful. I powered through, I had been through worse pains before, like the time when I was blown up while escaping with Elea-

I searched for the piece of paper. "Don't move!" I stopped. Slowly I felt the water sensation retreat from my body. The pony looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Did I do something wrong?" I shook my head and found the paper.

+You did well, I need to get to water, as quickly as possible please.+ He tilted his head to the left a bit.

"What do you need water for, a lot of metals rust in water." I shook my head again. Then pointed back to my latest written sentence. "Okay...will the fountain in the garden do?" I nodded my head. "This way then." I got on my feet, a little off balance due to my being...incapacitated some many times in such a short time span. "Trouble walking?" I shook my head.

+My guns, where are they?+

"What are guns?" Crap. This is going to be hard to explain.

+The objects I had on my back and on my legs, most had long metal tubes on them.+

"Oh, those. Those are currently stored in the magical research center of the castle, do you need them?" I nodded my head again. "Well, luckily for you that is somewhat nearby the castle gardens." Good, good.

We began to walk, taking left and right turns every minute or so. How on earth he remembered which direction to go I have no idea. If it weren't for the fact that I got beat up a lot here I would say that it was quite beautiful. "Almost there, so why is it that you need this body of water exactly?" I walked over to a wall and began to write down a response.

+I need to be in water to regenerate my eve, it also helps my cellular regeneration.+ He read it, and frowned a little, then looked up to me, then back down to the paper.

"I recognize some of these words, but would you mind defining some for me?" I shrugged. "What is, 'eve'?"

+Eve is what allows me to use plasmids, it is a sort of fuel.+

He got a frown on his face again. "What is a plasmid?" I hope this does not go on for too long.

+A plasmid is...an ability acquired from genetic modification.+

The frown returns! "What is genetics?" Son of a bitch!

+Genetics is hard to describe, it is basically what makes you, you.+ He frowned at that, though it was more of a contemplative frown.

"Does cellular have something to do with genetics?" Huh, this one seems rather astute...astute? When did I learn these words?

+Yes, it does. How did you know?+

"Lucky guess to be truthful." Still though, most things would not have even tried to make that connection. We began to move about the halls again. Each turn taking us closer to the fountain. Each turn bringing me closer to Eleanor.

When we had finally reached the fountain, it was just barely large enough for me to stand in. The water itself was about 4 inches deep, just more than enough. I walked over to it, and put my right foot, then left foot in. I stood there, and slowly felt my eve come back, and my body stitch back together. Unluckily for me, I had forgotten about my natural camouflage gene tonic. It had not activated before because I had always been moving, at least a little bit.

"AH! Where did you go?!" He began to run around, somehow waving his front legs in front of him yet keeping his balance. "Celestia is going to be so angry!" I then took a small step to the left, thus rendering me visible. Rendering? I should really look into my old memories. "Wah? But how did you do that? You don't have any magic in you!"

I felt my eve top off, summon Eleanor first, or explain? Explain, that way I can also tell him about what I am going to do. I walked over to a nearby wall, paper and quill ready. I set down the ink well on a bench...how do these things sit? I put the paper on the wall and began to write.

+Do you remember what I told you about plasmids?+ He nodded his head. +And genetics?+ Once again he nodded his head. An eager knowledge seeking light was in his eyes. +What made me unseen is called a gene tonic, natural camouflage to be specific. When I stand still I turn nearly invisible.+

His eyes went wide, and I could see that he had a million questions for me. "How does it work?" I shrugged. "Where did you get it?"

+Research camera.+ He got a puzzled look in his eyes.

"What's a research came-" I put a hand over his mouth.

+No more questions please. I need to get my little girl. Now he had a really puzzled look in his eyes. I brought up the familiar purple ball of...whatever it is. I suspect it is some kind of pheromone. I closed my eyes for a moment. Eleanor, my sweet loving Eleanor, I would finally get to spend time with her, no more having to fight against her crazy mother, no more splicers trying to get at my Adam, no more Rapture.

I threw it a few feet in front of me and...nothing. I threw it again and...still nothing. I blinked and then looked at the pony to my side. I walked over to the water and began to collect more eve. Once I had enough I threw it down again. Then waited. Once I had enough I threw it down again.

oooOOOo Approximately 30 minutes later. oOOOooo

The pony was just looking at me, an obvious sad look displayed on his face. "It's not working, is it?" I shook my head. "Are you going to be okay?" I looked to him, and took off my helmet. "OH SWEET CELESTIA!"

He promptly began to vomit. Maybe that was not such a good idea. "Oh...ugh...wha-what are you?"

I was at my max on eve already, so I walked over to where I left the paper and quill. +Call me Delta.+
