Fix My Mechanical Heart

[grey987]

Mark nodded as he examined Hunter up and down, briefly remembering the fight. "Yeah, the damage looks pretty bad," he noted quietly. "It's not what I'm hoping for, but I'm sure that it's fairly extensive."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and looked at him. "Yeah, let's get going." She said.

 

[grey987]

Mark went to go get some new pieces of metal, detaching parts of Hunter's torso and replacing them with new sections, shaping them based on the mech's original structure. "Don't worry, buddy. You'll be fixed soon," he whispered while he worked.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and started helping him with the mech.

 

[grey987]

Mark rewired several damaged several damaged circuits here and there while replacing parts of Hunter's armor. "I wonder just who that mech user is," Mark thought aloud as he molded another bit of metal. "Either way, I need to be ready in case I run into that person again."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "Don't worry. If I am there, the defense guy stands no chance of catching us." She said.

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled slightly, peeling the external parts of Hunter's headpiece open before fixing the circuits. "Hopefully, that's the case." A bit later, he closed off the mech's headpiece after fixing its circuits before turning to Kiora with a smile. "Shall we go work on Hollow, now?"

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded, and took his hand lightly She pulled him towards her gently.

 

[grey987]

Mark smiled at Kiora, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "And now, I'm going to thank you for helping me with Hunter," he told her quietly.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and kissed his lips.

 

[grey987]

Mark kissed back, holding it for a moment before pulling back and placing his forehead against Kiora's, looking at her with a smile.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled back, biting down on her bottom lip a bit. "You're welcome."

 

[grey987]

Mark chuckled, moving his head back from Kiora's. "Let's go fix up your mech, now."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora nodded, grabbing his hand as she pulled him gently towards her.

 

[grey987]

Mark walked with her over to Hollow, examining the mech. After it had been removed from her body, Mark had made sure to take the mech with him after taking Kiora to the hospital when she was attacked. It was in a fairly bad state, especially when you looked at the missing headpiece and the outwardly-bent metal around the neck area. But it was nothing the two of them couldn't fix.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled and intertwined her fingers with his, kissing his hand before going to grab some more metal for the headpiece.

 

[grey987]

Mark smiled as he watched her go, before turning back to Hollow, moving behind the mech and detaching some of the external plates before fixing a few circuits. Most of the damage was located in Hollow's back, so they wouldn't have to worry much about the front.

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora got onto a ladder, taking the head off by detaching the wires and such.

 

[grey987]

"Once your mech is fixed, maybe we can have another sparring match," Mark said as he worked on the circuits, smiling to himself at the thought of it while reminding himself that he'd have to be careful. "It's been a little while since our last one."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. 'Maybe, but not until you are healed." She said.

 

[grey987]

"I need the practice," Mark insisted as he finished up with the circuits and reattached Hollow's metal plating. "And sitting around doing nothing isn't exactly going to make my recovery any faster."

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora smiled. "But trying to work yourself while sick makes you worse." She said.

 

[grey987]

Mark sighed, before grinning and chuckling at a thought. "You really want me to just stay in the apartment with you, don't you?"

 

[IceQueen]

Kiora blushed. "Maybe a little bit."

 

[grey987]

Mark laughed, reattaching one last plate before moving to the side of Hollow and looking at Kiora. "It's fine for you to admit it, you know," he told her. "It's not like I really mind it."
