Chapter 7 - If anything else goes wrong, ...
WARNING: IF YOU'RE UNDER 18, OFFENDED BY ADULT LANGUAGE, LEWD OR DEPRAVED BEHAVIOUR, OR JUST LIKE TO FIND SOMETHING TO BITCH ABOUT. GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF AND DON'T READ THIS STORY!
Notice: Partly to do with my long standing within several Online RPG's all telepathic communications will be noted with a ~ instead of normal quotation marks. This seems to make things easier to understand for some people.
Introduction: This is part seven of "Who are we?". Previously in episode 6, we ended with Seb, Kaela, and Zoe walking into Blackthorn, Seb leaking coolant from a shoulder injury.
Who Are We (Part 7)?

"If anything else goes wrong, ..."
We managed to find a hotel and booked two rooms side by side. Reaching the rooms I slumped onto the group, the leak was beginning to bleed my coolant dry, I was really in trouble.
"Kaela you've got to go look for some compatible coolant, Zoe you'll have to be careful cutting me open. Once inside though there should be a small access port which will seal off the section that's damaged."
I pulled off my jacket, undid my jumpsuit and then laid on my stomach and let Zoe get to work, it hurt but I could stand the pain without any hassle at the moment, provided she worked quickly.
"I've found it, and pressed the button. It seems to be sealing the hole now."
"Thanks I was hoping for that to happen. It means that a complete diagnostic procedure was ran and it spotted the integrity breach. Now the fun part, you should be able to see a metal structure running down my spine."
"Yes. What is it? Part of your Cybernetics?"
"Not quite, it's my armor, there should be a raised section high on my back. If you open the panel you'll see 3 buttons, and a few switches. It's the Orange switch that opens the port to accept new coolant."
"Ok. Got it. Do I do anything now, or wait?"
"Either way doesn't matter, until the coolant is added it's seperated from the rest of my systems. Originally I used to wear the armor partially over my jumpsuit, but I figured out that was unneccessary and simply wear it against my skin all the time. Only the Helmet can't be packed away like the rest is."
"Yeah I noticed you weren't wearing it after you returned from distracting the Rockets. But were later on in the cave."
"While I'm wearing it I have a more consistent air supply than if I were simply holding my breath underwater."
I sat still while she stitched up my shoulder, it would be a few days before it healed, flesh was not aided by cybernetic enhancement unfortunately. Just after she'd finished Kaela teleported into the room holding a canister of coolant that could only have come from one place. I groaned if Giovanni had caught her...
"But he didn't, nobody even realised I'd been there, I also have some spares in the bag on my back. Of all the things for you to forget to pack."
I remained seated while the canister was discharged into my system, instantly feeling the systems reinitiate and the warnings in my vision switch off.
"I'm going for a walk now Seb. You and Zoe might as well discuss our future together."
Kaela left the room after that bit of advice, walking instead of 'porting out.
"Future together?"
"Well we can't let you leave. You know too much, which makes you a danger to us and yourself."
"The first I can understand, but myself?"
"If Team Rocket found out you'd had contact with us, you'd be endangered personally. We're top secret remember?"
"I see. So really I don't have any option except to go with you until it's safe to split up."
I nodded.
"Seb I'm curious just what is between you and Kaela? Surely you aren't lovers?"
"We are, and have been since we first met, along with the fact we're both examples of Giovanni's cybernetics research, and in Kaela's case at least Genetic research. Why don't you appreciate that a Pokémon and a human can have sexual relationships, or be in love?"
"Sorry if I offended you, it's just it's so strange, and just a bit kinky if you know what I mean."
"Zoe, there was a time when they said the same thing about white's and black's living in a relationship together. Not much has changed there either though, equal rights are a load of garbage."
"What about kids? Surely you can't reproduce together?"
"We don't think so, but we're not really worried about having kids. I'd sooner not have children while ever Giovanni is about, and that goes for other people like him as well. If you're attempting to come onto me, forget about it."
"Why aren't you interested in your own species? Or am I not your type, etcetera, etcetera..."
"No, it's just unneccessary. Kaela and I have already discussed it. It's just now perhaps isn't the best time. Frankly I need a few hours sleep it seems that rest is impossible most of the time."
"Oh, did she tell you straight out?"
"Sort of, she figured it out right from the start, and when I returned from the lake of Rage we discussed it. We weren't expecting to have to go anywhere with you though. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to get some rest."
I pulled off my jumpsuit after she'd left through the communicating door, I then got into bed and went to sleep. Some time later I felt Kaela slip into bed beside me. I hugged her close and returned to sleep.
Several hours later I was woken up by a voice against my chest.
"Uh, Seb. Do you think you could loosen the grip? It's a little tight."
My eyes shot open as I released Zoe, and promptly fell out of bed my eyes adjusting for the light and telling me everything I probably hadn't wanted to know, including Zoe's lack of attire. I was also aware of what had happened while I was asleep, I hadn't thought I could sleep so soundly as to not wake up while having sex.
"Zoe! I thought you were Kaela when you slipped into bed with me. Where is she?"
"Sleeping in the other room. It's alright, she said it'd help you to relax. I didn't realise you were asleep through out it though. You're a pretty heavy sleeper."
"Only when I'm exhausted. Go to the other room please, and share the bed with Kaela, I'd like some uninterrupted sleep for the moment. I'll discuss this with both of you later. I'm not mad or anything, just a tad upset."
I locked the door after her and sat on the edge of the bed thinking for a while before letting sleep take hold again and collapsing into a dream filled slumber, my memories were fighting to return.
When I finally woke up fully I realised I'd slept through the whole day, and it was now the next morning. As I washed up I wondered just how old Zoe was. I knew she had to be older than 12, but she was still younger than me, I just hoped I hadn't broken any laws. I set my database searching for information on her while I showered.
End of part 7.
Sorry about the amount of dialogue, but I was setting the scene for things to come.
Oh yeah and sorry for not writing this sooner, but between PC problems, and RL hassles I hadn't had the time previously.
