(Well shit, that sucks)

Malcolm watched the two with a disdainful gaze. He couldn’t understand how they got along so well.

“Yes?”he asked when Hiro looked at him.

Hiro shook his head “ nothing important..”

William glared at Malcolm with the same disdain they were shown.

Malcolm shrugged, then snorted at William’s glare. He turned to organize his cabinets a bit.

William gave Malcolm temporary depression. He scoffed and lied back next to Hiro.

( yes I’m still grounded, just replying while I can) hiro nudged William “ chill out, he’s not that mean..”

(Oof. But, quite intriguing, particularly to see Malcolm’s reaction)

Malcolm paused, his thoughts swirling with sorrow. Memories that he had long ago locked away as idiotic came rushing forward, and he realized just how much he actually missed his younger days.

He quickly wiped away a tear from his eye and turned on William.

“Quit fucking with my emotions, you fucking brat!”he snapped.

He walked away, taking the plates off the counter, then vanished downstairs.

Hiro flinched “ he wasn’t doing anything..”

"I didn't do anything that he didn't do to himself." He simply whispered.

" … you guys should stop fighting so damn much"

"He's glaring at us. He doesn't care about us, he only wants to use you…"

“ I believe there’s good in him.” Hiro said sternly. “ if you see danger for either of us then we’ll leave , but knowing about him and how I was made may help reduce my pain.. I could protect you a lot better that way”

"I don't need to be–" William stopped himself, not wanting to be rude. "I just don't know if we can trust him."

Hiro got the sentence William was trying to say “ kit, your the only person who hasn't tried to kill me after the end. So it's only respective if I protect you..”

Malcolm doesn’t emerge for a while, something that seemed oddly concerning.

Meanwhile, down below, Malcolm’s long buried emotions reigned and he couldn’t figure out how to stop it. He missed so much! But, he hated that he missed it!

He missed being whole, being a simple scientist in a lab, being engaged to lovely Emily, all of it! But, the lab had blown up, tearing him apart, and he had never been the same. He had killed Emily, watched her face fade away into a pile of deadly machines. He had killed everyone, whether he knew them or not.

Why did he care? Why had he ever cared? Emily had always been a whiny bitch, the labs had paid him jack shit for his genius, and the world had considered him nothing more than a speck on the wall. So… why did he care?

Malcolm pondered that for a long while, focusing hard pn the question to calm himself down. Unfortunately, though his pondering soothed him, he still had no answers. It nagged at him.

Hiro yawned, snuggling William. “you're so warm..” he mumbled.

"You too…" He lied on Hiro's chest. "I guess you're right. But I'll protect you, too. Let's stay together."

(Is it me, or are the two completely unconcerned by the fact that Malcolm has all of sudden vanished, even though he was in the middle of cleaning up his shop?)

Malcolm started to pace, figuratively banging his head on the wall to figure out why he suddenly cared about his past. He had forsaken all of it decades ago, and had loved every second of it. Why was it bothering him now, after all these years?

( they probably figured he’s off doing some experiment ) hiro had figured it’s been a while since he has seen the scientist , “ check on him.” He said to the ai at the door. His spin glowed green once more.

The AI came into the shop, seeming a bit confused by Malcolm’s unusual behavior. It headed for the back, going downstairs, then knocking on his door.

Malcolm looked up and cautiously moved to open the door. Seeing the AI, he sighed.

“Leave me be. Having a shitty moment, nothing more.”

“Malcolm-Lifeform has had a long ‘shit-ty moment,”the Ai replied

“Okay. Your point?”

“Return upstairs.”

“No. I prefer taking my time, and I will come up when I choose.”

The AI stood there and Malcolm shut the door. The AI didn’t move.

Hiro thought communivly through the bot. “ Malcolm, are you alright. Your Bp is high and so is your stress level..”

Malcolm’s eyes narrowed as he heard the strange questions come from the AI. The kid was talking to it, and it was relaying his thoughts.

“Why are you so concerned? Besides, I know that’s you, Hiro,”he called without opening his door.

Malcolm pondered if the question was aimed at Hiro or himself.

“ I'm concerned because you are a caretaker. Me the same. You should look after your experiments better..”

Malcolm paused, immediately catching on to Hiro’s implied meaning. He had to give it to the kid, he could be sly.

“Most of my ‘experiments’ are self-reliant. I only need to repair them occasionally, unless they request something else. Others, however, are more annoying than helpful.”
