Chapter 596 - Touchscreen

"You're only a Kid, once. Worrying is for Adults."

"What are you doing, Ruby? Why are you taking your suit off?"

"Don't you like it? Is it making you too hot?"

"You should do the same."

"Ohhh....uhhh…."

"Here, I'll help you."

"Thank you, Kain; but...…"

"You don't have anything else to turn into?"

"Besides, I don't have any powers anyways; so the risk of me turning into them is slim to none."

"Then why did your Father make you a Suit?"

"I don't you. You should ask him.

Maybe he just wanted it to symbolize something. Represent who we are, who you are; and what we have done together. I don't know?"

"Tai always had a reason, no matter how cruel. I don't think he made that for you just as a late birthday present."

"Then why?

I don't feel anything. My bones are still completely...oh no."

"I got you. What's wrong?"

"My knees gave out. It's nothing."

"See?"

"Guys, I am just tired of walking. That's all."

"Hang on. Kain, help her get out of that thing, and I will whip up some…."

"Make sure it's not Poison Ivy. I am still human, you know."

"No need to worry. Their is a village just ahead. Be back in a flash."

"Elwin, can you touch my hand?"

"Kain, I am not blacking out. Just need some…Wa...some….watt.....some…."

"Elwin. Elwin!!!

*Tap, tap. Tap, tap*

Stay with me, Elwin. I'm right here.

Man, why did Tai make these suits out of Velcro?"

"How much for that shirt right there?"

"That one?

Wait, can I have some drinks; pop, and water as well."

"You're not fooling anyone."

"Sorry, that's not what I meant. I meant…"

"I'll get you them. Wait here."

"Wait, what about that wagon as well?"

"That Wagon? It's just a pile of scraps. Not for sale."

"Just put a blanket on it, and it will make a great stretcher?"

"Ummmm...I'll get you your things."

"Thank you.

Here's my Cash."

"Miss, have you got a screw loose?"

"What do you mean? Is it not enough, cause if so, I have more. Just let me…"

"The fact isn't that this is enough but whether this is right."

"Excuse me?

Is not all the Kingdoms currency the same? Has been since I was born."

"Rules are made, not born; Sweetheart."

"Well, is their a way I can exchange this currency for yours? Then you can…"

"What's the point? We wouldn't be able to use the currency anyways; even if we tried."

"What do you take then? Anything you need?"

"A repairman."

"Haaahaaaaahaaaahaaa aahhhhhaaaa…Haaahaaaa. Good one."

"....Deal."

"Wait, but you..."

"Have no tools."

"I don't need some.

The sooner I help you, the better. In exchange..."

"Yeah, sure. Of course.

We had some neighboring Kids come in. Bunch of hooligans really. They broke a few windows, but that's not the problem. Our Boss wants us to have a security system in place if you...."

"Uhhhh….

Let's see the Glass first, and then we can work on your security."

"Windows are right here."

"....Come on, Ruby. Hurry up. Where are you?"

"....Windows right here, ma'am. Let me go get some parts."

"All I need is a lighter."

"A lighter? Why would you…."

"Here you go.

Not for me."

"Oh. Then?"

"On me."

"On you?"

"My body is all water. Heat makes sand flexible enough to make glass; and with the amount of water in me, I need ten times more fire."

"Wait, you're not making any sense. We're not going to….who are you?"

*Tick….tick…tick…Phueeeeee*

"Ready?"

"Wait, this is absurd. You can't just go around lighting people on fire. That's child abuse. Give me that, before you hurt someone. And come back when you…"

*PHUEEEEEEEEEM*

"Oh no."

"Thanks for the Light, Gentleman."
