Earth (Second timeline)
-
Casi still held Termes’ hand and placed her other on Cunneris’ shoulder. The girl leaned down and hugged the cherub the best she could.
-
-Cunneris let go of Termes and forced himself over the body to hug onto her. He was terribly sad, crying silently on her. Eridan left the room to go tell Equius about it. Jade walked over and touched the foot of the cold dead body then walked out of the room. Jane looked down and just felt horrible. She left them in the room alone, making sure to go tell the others.-
-
Casi just held Cunneris, gathering him in her lap and rocked slightly. The girl was crying too, as she tried to comfort her red lover. She placed a hand on the back of his head, and another on his back.
-
-Cunneris cried for a while but when he slowed down, he finally spoke in a sad tone, “I can’t believe… after everything he said that I did to them…. what I would do… he still gave his life for me…” He hid his head against her, he felt like it was the worst thing that could have happened. He gripped onto her and tried to tell himself it was for the best.-
-
Casi gripped him tighter,”I would, because your his son. And he’s your father, who loves you quiet a lot.” She stroked his head,”Just as I love you.” Her voice was soft and watery. Termes’ death hit her hard, but not as hard as it hit Cunneris.
-
-Cunneris stayed close and said, “I love you too… and… I’ll miss him… I will have to go back to a younger version of him… and he’s… just a bit of an ass… To know that he’d be so mature and… caring even… That will be his legacy…” He placed his hand on the chest of the body and he peeked past her to see Equius came in. Equius went over to the body and knelt down beside the bed and placed his hand on Termes’s shoulder. He wasn’t even going to take his glasses back, nor put on new ones. He just stared at the body in shocked silence.-
-
Casi ran a hand down his wings,”At least you know what he can be. Younger Termes might just be an ass because he doesn’t know how not to be. That or he is a ass,” she.cracked a small smile and leaned back from the hug. The girl fell silent and wiped her cheeks.
-
-Cunneris nodded and placed his head in the crook of her neck to hide his eyes. “I will work with… what I got…” He smiled and said, “Maybe… If I show him a bit more attention… he’ll come to be this… or better…” Equius didn’t even flinch at the swearing, he was just staring at the body that intently. He stood up and seeked to remove it from the bed. He wanted to go bury him, his phone going off. He stopped trying to remove the body and went outside the door to answer it. “What?!” Was the only thing he was heard saying before a long talk seemed to occur and he slammed the phone shut and came back in. “Cunneris,” He spoke out loud, “We need to place you under survellance of Jane… Constantly…” Cunneris looked up and said, “What? Why?”-
-
Casi gave the broken horned troll a confused look,”Is there something wrong with him?” The girl hugged Cunneris tighter, with a slightly fearful look. Did the life giving thing have a complication? Or go wrong somehow?
-
-Equius looked at them and said, “He was in close contact with Gamzee, as was Tavros. Tavros had returned to Feferi with Gamzee’s body and he had started coughing up his own blood. She ordered me to alert anyone who was in close contact or in the room with him that they need to be under constant healing survelance. On the positive side, that near death experience may have eradicated it from your system. I would suggest we round up everyone who was in contact with him in the room and as he left.” He left to go start doing so. Cunneris was scared but comforted that he should be in the safe zone. He looked at Casi and said, “If it’s not one thing… It’s another, isn’t it? If I had equipment… I could examine the blood and stop more deaths from occuring.” His mind was working at full force.-
-
Casi.was fearful as she also touched the sick troll,”How would you get that equipment though? Travel through dream bubbles?” The girl let go of Cunneris and stood up offering her hand,”Because if you can fix it, I would hurry as it’s suppose to travel through trolls quicker then huma-” She cut of as she doubled over hacking. Blood dribbling through her lip. “Well, supposed to.” She breathed out and wiped the blood away.
-
-Cunneris was startled when she coughed up blood and his wings fluffed out. He backed away a little bit and siad, “I need to hurry… Make sure he brings everyone in this room. I saw equipment in my elder version’s bubble… I just need to sneak in and bring it back with me…” He released her hand and fell instantly asleep, flopping over with a soft bash on the floor. Jane came running into the room and said, “Are you okay?! Is Cunneris okay?” She saw him on the floor and said, “Is he dead or asleep?” Equius brought in Nepeta, who was coughing only a little bit, no blood yet. Eridan got ushered in as well. Eridan wasn’t showing any signs of illness. Vriska was brought in, still in chains and a mask. Equius had to bring in Karkat, as he admitted Gamzee touched him when he went out. Terezi was in contact with Karkat but neither showed signs. It was to the point the all of the trolls were in the room including Equius himself. Jane looked at the grouping and how most of them showed no signs. Cunneris flew quickly through dream bubbles and found his older version, sneaking through the castle in the dream bubble. He gripped the scientific equipment and then felt it suddenly get heavier. He looked and his older self was holding it down. “Fuck…” He muttered out.-
-
Casi nodded,”Mine will pass quickly, and asleep, he said he might have a.way to fix the illness.” She coughed again,”We should leave so he can work it out, he says he need equipment. And I don’t know how big it is.” She ushered Jane out the room. “I’m going to go to the room with everyone, or should I lock myself in a restroom untilled the sickness clears out?”
-
-Jane saw all the trolls in the room and said to all of them, “We’ll separate into two rooms. My room, all the ones showing symptoms. All the ones who aren’t stay here, one tiny cough, though, you come to my room. We DON’T want to risk it spreading.” She lead the ones showing signs over to her room. Equius watched Nepeta have to leave with her as he stayed put. Vriska was ushered over as well. Equius looked at Casi before she’d have to go and said, “We’ll watch him. Don’t worry.” Cunneris was still in dream bubble and looking at himself as he said, “Look… I need to save people… Let me leave…” His elder self released the equipment and said, “next time…” He wandered away. Cunneris woke up and brought the equipment with him. Dishes, gloves, a mask, syringes, and a full chemical set. He got himself up and looked at the ones in the place and immdiately put the mask and gloves on and prepared the syringes.-
-
Casi nodded and tucked herself in a corner of Jane’s room. The girl didn’t cough up any more blood at the moment and watched the others in the room. She hoped Cunneris could fix this as some trolls in here where rather nice.
