| Nick looked over at the living avian and made up his mind. "If it'll help..." He murmured, shaking. This is going to hurt... He placed a hand on Mike's forehead, groaning as his fingers began to burn. | |

| Mike's eyes felt like they were being forced open. It took a moment before he realized Nick was looking down at him. | |

| Nick glared down at him as he began to "fix" the avian. He was in pain by now, but knew he could sort it later. At least, he hoped he could. | |

| Mike groaned quietly, understanding what the shade was doing. His features softened. "Thank you," he mouthed. | |

| Nick snatched his arm away as soon as he could, cradling it to his body. "I didn't do it for you." he snarled. "You could - and will - rot in hell for all I care." | |

| Mike blinked for a response. "I know." He slipped his fingers between William's. | |

| Nick continued holding his arm to him, shaking. Tentatively, he pulled back his shirt, staring at the blackened and burnt skin. He held it close again. | |

| Mike's eyes widened. "You shouldn't have." | |

| "Unlike you, I actually value William." Nick snarled, loosening his grip slightly. "He came to me, Carden. Well, to Mikey and Andrew, but they've currently got their own problems." | |

| Mike held William protectively. "I'd give my life to protect him. That's not something you could do." He rubbed the boy's back, knowing his powers would be useless. "I'll take care of my boyfriend." | |

| Nick blanched at the probably unintentional slur on his species. "I've already given my life for someone." He snarled. | |

| "Yes, I know," Mike whispered back, although he didn't quite get how Nick had died for someone. He ran his fingers through William's hair. "Nick, if you think I'm the worst person to be with William, than I entirely agree with you. But I love him more than anything." | |

| "You really hurt him, Carden." But it wasn't a proper response. Nick frowned at his blackened limb, trying to figure out how to get it to revert to normal. | |

| Mike put his cold hand on William's stomach, hoping it would ease some of the pain. "I had warned him," he said sadly, looking down. | |

| Angel moved away from her "pet" vampire, eyes wide with fear. She stumbled and fell. | |

| "Angel," Mike said. He had wanted to catch the girl, but refrained since his touch would have been more painful than the fall. | |

| Nick sighed, moving forward to pick his whimpering daughter up. "Where does it hurt, hmm?" He cooed tenderly, a far cry from the bitter and violent being he had been a few minutes ago. "Papa will make it all better." | |

| Tears started blurring Mike's vision. It hit him that he might have killed William's children yet impregnated Sisky. He had commanded the death of a child before, and killed a father. I'll never be a good father. I can't stay with William. "You're right," Mike finally said, not looking at Nick.

| Angel pressed her slightly burnt finger tips to her father's face. "Angel all better now thank you." She said in her sweet voice. Nick smiled at her politeness. "I love you." He murmured, kissing her forehead. | |

| Mike started crying without a sound. Once William is healed I'll move out of this place. I'll make sure Butcher and Mikey take care of him. I'll send money to Sisky. | |

| Nick turned his head to look at Mike. "Don't leave him again." He said in a tight voice. "He's expecting three children, don't you dare leave him again." | |

| "Oh, because being with me is safe now?" he asked between sobs. "I can't be a father." | |

| Nick looked at him. "That's exactly what Mikey said." He murmured, remembering the time exactly. | |

| "But look at you and Angel," Mike added without thinking. You're dead because of a stupid war. I don't want William to die. | |

| "Things like this happen, Carden." Nick snapped back, stroking his daughter's hair. "It won't happen to you. Mikey won't let anyone hurt William like that." | |
