Alex X Lucy: Prototype X Elfen Lied

Settling for Something

Holy shit

That was the two words he came up with as he saw Lucy quielty without even a sound of her breathing, playing with the organs of the guy she just murdered. Alex was going to touch her shoulder and get her attention until he heard her humming. She kept staring directly at the bloodied floor with a focus of shock

"Mmhmm...mhmm...mmh...mmhmm-"

'What is she doing?- CAN SHE STOP DOING THAT CREEPY SHIT!?'

Lucy began to smear the organs she touched on the boat's floor and like a chalk, tenderly drawing what looked like..?

A leg

Another leg

8 legs...

A round torso

A round head..

'Oh jesus' He turned a pale white realizing the hums she was singing.

She drew a spider... And with the rhythm in she was singing... 'Welp'

It was the little itsy bitsy spider

The drawing was as childish as it could get but the deep crimson color made it look monstrous

Alex kneeled beside her and unaggressively held her wrist to stop her drawing

"Lucy. I want you to release the kidney and piece of intestine from your hands. Please"

She was unresponsive and kept humming till she abruptly just let the slimy objects fall to the ground, her hands hovering over, her eyes paralized into the blood on her hands

Alex release her wrists and looked at the lost stare that was quickly becoming realization to reality

"You're going to be okay. I swear I'll-I'll help you stop this.."

He looked to the dissambled man, entrails and etc flattening out on the floor coming from the body

"-I'll help you get through it" Alex finished as he saw Lucy pace slightly in her restless seat on her knees. He felt sad for her, he did that shit to eat and maintain his biomass, but for her? It was the equivalent of a stress ball.

Before he could utter words of comfort, suddenly she just passed out. Her eyes turned milky white and in her slight rocking motion fell forward right into the chest of Alex, who saw the eyes of concrete madness become the absence of sight. He grabbed and hoisted her over his shoulders as he cleaned the blood on her skin using his ability, drinking it through his nerve receptors

Alex sadly pouted as he could imagine what she was put throught to the point of this last resort technique to keep sanity rather than feel the things they were doing to you

"How long were those bastards doing that to her..?" Alex snarled, holding her as smoothly as possible. His knuckles cracked but he kept his retrain, instead focusing on the now.

"Sleep Lucy. I'll find a new home"

The biofighter left outside and looked at the massacre she did. It was cruel to see how messed up she was in contact of human presence. However, they did deserve this one way or another

Alex took three quick steps before jumping to the sky that expelled the enough force to sink both the ship and the fisherman's to the bottom of the ocean, flaring Lucy's wild hair while he looked with eyes of a hawk for a possible place to spend the night absent of human presence

The jump was losing momentum as the air was chilly, but right before he was affected by gravity he tightened his grip on Lucy's thighs and burst a glide to maitain air time
