Description
The lights dimmed a bit as Deb and Greta rod in the elevator. Deb eyed the illuminated glow of the old lights.
"You're not from this century are you?" Great asked shyly.
"Hm?"
"Your tools and the way to take in everything suggests you are not used to this sort of advanced technology. I wonder though, in all fiction I've read people from past times normally fall apart mentally in some way."
"Does this elevador still operate under a basic pulley system?"
"I believe so."
"Then it's not that impressive, just more shiny."
"I'm a machine." Great said looking Deb fully in the eye, "Do you have a problem with me?"
Deb huffed, "I didn't mean-"
DING! The doors slide open to reveal a crowd of armored men standing all around a lantern. As the door slammed open, some of them turned and raised their weapons in alarm.
"FREEZE!"
Deb glared at Great, "I thought their'd weren't gunna be no damn guards on the fuck'n 15th floor!"
Greta rushed into the room in less time than it takes to drop a needle. She nabbed the closest guard's face, twisting him around, up into the air, and smashing into two others who were too slow to react. Next, she swung around grabbed one's jaw and rolled him through several of his fellow guards. Two of them, and the last who were still standing, fired on the intruder, "Protect the light!" but a quick kick sent one of the many fire arms into the air and clipping them both in the back of the head. No one groaned, no one moved, the only sound was Deb remembering she could breath.
"Damn." Was all Deb could say.
Greta's cogs in her chest twitched and shifted, slowing it's momentum. "Something is wrong." Greta said staring at the lantern that was still sitting on the box, "Why were they protecting this? What about the Intel?"
Deb, getting over her shock, moved to the center of the room, "Don't much matter. We gatta do our job then get outta here."
Greta nodded in agreement, pulling out a small box. "Oh what delightful music it'll bring." She handed the box to Deb with care.
Deb just placed it on the floor and started adjusting a few of the bolts. The box popped open and several wires and gears started to vibrate. Deb took a deep breath and removed some of the pieces. She fired up her blow torch and used the last of it to meld the final two metals. The box sprung shut and all was quiet.
"There," Deb said, "Fuck. That was easy. Let's get to the roof."
Greta sighed, "But I wanted to stay here and watch it."
Deb entered the elevator, "Fine but wouldn't you be letting everyone down or whatever?"
Greta considered this an followed Deb. The doors slide shut and continued up. The numbers went up from 15 to 16 to 17 then to 11 then 9… before Deb or Greta could say anything an alarm went off, then WAM!
"What the hell!?" Deb yelled, grabbing for something on her belt.
"Something landed on us." She pointed to the corner were a small hatch opened up. Deb drew her blow torch and Greta wiggled her fingers preparing herself to grab whatever entered.
Down popped a young girl, both Greta and Deb stepped forward out of impulse but stopped themselves, sighing in relief.
"Doctor? Oh how lovely it is to see you." Greta chimed, her overzealous excitement made the girl pull away.
"GET AWAY!" she screamed.
Deb looked the girl over more closely. She looked like the Doctor but she was lacking the white coat and her hair was down rather than in a ponytail.
Deb sat down next to the girl, and look her full in the eye. "As far as I can tell the Doctor is an oblivious danger prone idiot. This one actually looks scared. You al'right?"
The girl nodded, "I-I…yes…no. I don't know! Things are happen so fast."
Greta patted the girl on the shoulder, "It's ok. Take your time sweetie."
The girl took a few deep breaths, tears dripped from under her goggles, "We failed."
The elevator shook and halted. The lights went out.

Dr. A stopped on the staircase. Sweat was streaming down her face and her breathing was heavy. Her two companions, Chad and Jimmy, stopped at the upper level looking down at her.
Jimmy straightened his stripped suit, "Think it was a good idea to bring her along?"
Chad gave his usual stone faced answers, Jimmy continued on regardless. "Yeah, I'd of left her too. She isn't well enough. You'd think broad's like her would get it. We had this mission covered easily without her. She might as well be dead weight. Know what I'm saying?"
"She did save you." Chad stated.
Jimmy rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah. Keep bringing it up would ya?" He grumbled.
The Doctor stopped on a lower landing, gazing out the window.
"Hey doll face!" Jimmy yelled down to her, "We ain't got time to sight see, right? Whatever pretty scene ya be eyeball'n ain't getting us to the 25th floor any easier."
She turned to look up at them. "It's raining." She whispered. The sky was pitch black yet light illumined the area just below the clouds as if it were a bright sunny day. However, in their hearts they knew the sun was long dead in this world. Never before had they seen such rain, all falling in clumps of blackened tears, almost as if the sky was bleeding. Bled all over the city, melting the once dirty city to nothing but large dark clumps. The scratches ripped open, cutting through the air The window itself began to frown, drooping to the floor.
Dr. A started to laugh. It was deep, hardy, and oddly refreshing. Chad and Jimmy couldn't help but look on her with great concern. She raised her arms up as if to stretch them, "This! Yes, this is what I live for! Oh how glorious. We have only moments before our ultimate demise. Isn't this exciting? Come, come let us revel in this moment of uncertainty!"
Chad appeared behind her and took hold, moving her up the stairwell as best he could. Jimmy waited at the top then grabbed her by her other arm and pulled her as well. "Oh ok ok. We'll continue on. Although, because of the earliness of the rain our initial plan to distract the guards for…for…oh boy."
There just above them stood a blur of a being, You three. It spoke without moving what could have been a mouth. It jumped, or merely stepped down to their level. There feet away he said One. We are not one but we will. Come be one.
Jimmy let go of Dr. A and fired on the gentleman but nothing happened. The bullets could of hit him but he stood there unphased of even the idea of being shot at. The gentleman snapped, what looked like his fingers, and the gun was gone.
"Chad! Use your vampire super speed to-"
"I'm NOT that kind of vampire." Chad yelled, which shocked everyone. He raced to the blurred figure, and as the gentleman raised his hand to touch Chad, he evaded it by jumping up over, and landing behind the gentleman. Before the man could turn, Chad had already taken hold of the man, raised him up over the railings and tossed the gentleman off down to the ground floor.
Everyone had a sigh of relief and even Chad looked paler than usual. Jimmy, in awe, gave Chad a thumbs up. Both Jimmy and the Doctor talked up passed him and for the first time Chad smiled. It was also the last. Because that never happened.
It does not matter.
Chad was no more. The window melted open and dust blew away. There stood the gentleman as if he never moved because he didn't.
Just at the landing above Dr. A took out a device. "This is for Chad! Even though nobody liked him anyway…" She pressed the button.
Jimmy looked at her, confused, "Who's Chad….?" But his question didn't matter as countless men and women stood around him all carrying devices big, small, and some even oddly shaped. All of them mysteriously seemed to be dressed exactly like Dr. A.
"Meet The Society of Science!" In her mind they all stood around her in a cool pose and at those words they could have attacked the gentleman but what she thought and what she saw are two different things. For when she said these words her head had started spinning, her eyes rolled back into her head, and whiteness was clouding her vision.
