Sonic Underground: Teagan Fox - Chapter 10

Manic and the others finished destroying the factory and is heading back to base. Manic sighs as he thought of Teagan. He was worried about her at the cubby house. What if something happened to her or worse, what if Robotnik find her? He won't be able to save her. Manic sighs as he looks at his sibs.

"Once back, we can rest for a while." Sonic tells them.

"That sounds nice." Sonia admits and Manic smiles. It did sound nice.

"Well until Robotnik's active settles down around the hideout, I think we should keep our heads low. Not what I normally say, but we have come too far to let him win." Sonic explains.

"That makes sense." Sonia said.

"You okay Manic?" Sonic asks.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Manic asks.

"You just seem quiet." Sonic replies. "Worried about Teagan." Sonic adds and Manic looks at him shock, but sighs.

"A little, but she can take care of herself. I know she can." Manic said, hoping Sonic would drop it.

"She's tough, I can give her that." Sonic said and Manic smiles.

"She has come a long way since I met her. I just hope she doesn't do anything stupid." Manic said and Sonic chuckles. Once back, Sonic walks off and Manic sighs as he sits by the van.

"What is it Manic?" Sonia asks as she sits next to him and Manic sighs.

"Just thinking." Manic replies.

"Let me guess, you want to go and see Teagan." Sonia said and Manic sighs.

"Maybe I should drop by her place, make sure she's okay and nothing is wrong." Manic said.

"She needs to be alone Manic." Sonia said and Manic sighs. "Look, if you really want to go, then go and I'll cover for you." Sonia tells him and Manic smiles.

"Thanks Sonia." Manic said standing up and grabs his board. He then helps Sonia up.

"Just, be careful." Sonia tells him and Manic nods.

"I will, I promise." Manic said and heads off. He made it to Teagan's place and sighs. The ladder was up. "Teagan!" Manic calls, but no reply. Manic sighs. 'Maybe she's out.' Manic thought as he sat down. After a while, he saw Teagan walk over so he stands up. He then notices she was holding onto her left arm. Teagan saw him and goes into shock.

"Manic, what are you doing here?" Teagan asks.

"To see you." Manic replies as he walks up to her and grabs her left arm. Teagan moans in pain as she moved her hand and Manic saw the deep cut. "What happened?" Manic asks.

"I really don't know, I got caught on something, don't know what though." Teagan replies and Manic sighs as he lets her go. "I'll kick down the ladder." Teagan then said as she flies up and kicks the ladder down. Manic grabs his board and climbs up, then pulls the ladder up. With a sigh he walks in to see Teagan taking her bag off and cries out in pain when she hits her cut.

"I got it." Manic said as he drops his board and helps her take the bag off, then the rest of her gear off.

"Thanks." Teagan whispers.

"You're welcome." Manic said.

"Help me take my shirt off." Teagan said. "Don't worry, I have a black singlet on." Teagan quickly adds and Manic nods as he helps Teagan. He then got a better look at the cut.

"It needs stitches." Manic tells her and Teagan sighs.

"My bedside table, bottom draw. That has all my first aid stuff and there should be a sowing kit I picked up." Teagan tells him. Manic nods as he walks over and opens it, grabbed what he needs to clean, stich and patch the wound. Teagan walks over and sits on the bed. Manic then sits next to her and starts cleaning the cut. "Careful." Teagan whines.

"It needs to be clean. As you said, you don't know what you got this caught on. I have to make sure it is clean." Manic explains and Teagan sighs, knowing he was right, like always. He then gets the needle ready and sighs.

"This is going to suck." Teagan whispers.

"Sorry Teagan." Manic said as he starts stitching the cut. Teagan held back tears as best she could. Manic sighs, he knew how much this hurts. Once done, she cleans and wrapped Teagan's arm up.

"It hate this." Teagan said, wiping her tears away.

"I know." Manic said and Teagan sighs.

"Thanks." Teagan said as she got up and starts unpacking her bag. She got more than food. She sat the food in the chest by the white cabinet and put everything else in their right place. Manic helped as much as he could, he didn't want her stitching to rip. "You better go." Teagan said as she takes her shoes off.

"Are you sure?" Manic asks, worried to leave her here alone with that wound. "I mean I can stay." Manic adds.

"And what about you sibs?" Teagan asks and Manic sighs. "No, go, you have a lot to worry about." Teagan tells him and Manic sighs.

"I wish I didn't." Manic said.

"Look, you need to go." Teagan tells him.

"Why?" Manic asks. "Why are you trying to kick me out?" Manic asks worry.

"Because I can't do this Manic." Teagan replies with tear in her eyes. Manic sighs as he walks up to Teagan, but Teagan push him back. "No, I can't do this." Teagan whispers. Manic grabs Teagan and pulls her closer.

"Why?" Manic asks.

"I…" Teagan said and sighs, she didn't have a reason. "Go back to your family." Teagan whispers.

"No, I want to be here, with you." Manic said. Manic then kiss Teagan, wrapping his arm around her waist and Teagan wraps her arms around him. "I won't lose you again." Manic whispers.

"What about everything you tells me about your mother?" Teagan asks.

"I can still look for her and help my sibs, but I want to be here with you too." Manic explains.

"I don't know." Teagan said.

"Hey, don't think about it." Manic said and Teagan sighs, but smiles as she kiss Manic, taking his vest off and Manic smiles.
