Making Amends (Mechakara)

[Black Lantern Spoony]

(OCC: BLS and Mechakara thread. March 10th, afternoon. A reuniting and friendship patching thread)

BLS was relieved for his friend. He was free and BLS did not have to worry about being wrong about what would happen to his friend. The two were close as ever and their bond was possibly consistant thanks to his determination to see him and his family, as well as Dr. Insano, freed. The lantern though was a bit saddened too, despite proof mechakara had no ill intentions towards anyone including Jim Hawkins, the minute he appeared Jim fled in fear. It took convincing and support from BLS but jim got out and went to see mechakara, resulting in a rather akward situation and ending with jim both afraid and angry with mechakara and the robot feeling rather empty and guilty. BLS assured that everything was fine but the robot took out his guilt by training. Well, things seemed to simmer down during the past couple of days but BLS wanted to have a talk with his friend. Not just about jim but just to talk to mechakara in general. The lantern genuinely missed his best friend. That and he felt guilt for harming seven of eleven and wanted by gones be by gones with him. So he sat on the couch, thinking of how to talk to his friend when footsteps were heard.

[Mechakara]

Mechakara sighed as he walked around. Pinocchio and Jim were both frightened of him. He'd broken Jim's arm and nearly killed Pinocchio. That little boy had once looked up to him and trusted him. And he'd broken that trust. It was a spell thanks to Facilier and the others. Jim and Pinocchio knew that but it didn't change how they felt. And he'd put Black Lantern Spoony and Pinocchio and Jim's family in the middle. He missed chatting with Black Lantern Spoony was his best friend and now he couldn't even talk to him. He walked into the living room spotting BLS. He winced sadly realizing he needed to go. He turned knocking over a hat stand next to him as it hit the ground with a loud thump. Mechakara looked at BLS sadly.

"I'm sorry. I should just go. All I've done lately is cause pain. I won't make you choose between me and Jim. You're my best friend and I'll always treasure that. But until Jim forgives me I'll stay way." said Mechakara.

He tried to walk away when a black energy barrier suddenly rose up preventing him from leaving. He turned around looking at BLS for a moment before looking at the ground unable to face him.

"I'm also sorry for helping capture Goggles. I know you two were close and now you're not together. That's my fault." said Mechakara.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

Hearing a hat stand hit the ground, BLS' head turned to see a sad-looking Mechakara. BLS already knew what the robot was going to do. Apoligize and tell BLS that he was leaving to leave BLS at peace. The lantern heard what the robot had to say and would have absolutely none of it. Althought the robot blamed himself, the lantern wasn't going to choose anyone over the other. Yes he loved Jim but he'll be damned if his best friend was going to go through a rough patch alone. Especially one that wasn't even his fault. The lantern made a quick black energy barrier to stop mechakara from leaving. The lantern rose and saw his friend extremely humbled, looking down at the ground, and it caused BLS to hate Facilier far more than he had in his life. To cause his best friend to be so humble enough for the robot to fear the lantern was something that just did not fly right.

"Now you listen here Mechakara. First of all I'm not choosing anyone over the other. It's awkward as hell but it's something I'm willing to do" BLS said firmly, determined for his friend to not bother trying to leave "I love jim, yes I do, but he will come to like you in time and I'm not going to let him be afraid of you forever, that won't accomplice anything. Yes what happened to jim was terrible but it is wrong to let someone cower for the rest of their life. Especially against someone who was forced to do what they just did. He may not like it and neither do you or me but I will help him naturally. He'll understand my intentions eventually. He knows I only do this to support him and help you"

He then chuckled softly as Mechakara apoligized for capturing goggles. "It was for the best. No not the capture but the fate it lead to. She's with spoony now and I want her only to be happy. Besides, if that didn't happen I wouldn't have the young man I've fallen in love over" He of course was refering to Jim once again but he figured the not-so-obvious route was the easy way to go over for now. He went over to his friend and gave the robot a hard look over before saying in a somewhat annoyed voice "Look at me" When the robot DID look at him, BLS gave the robot a very over-due hug. BLS hugged him tightly and said "God. I missed you man. I was so scared for you. I thought Facilier, once he found out that you escaped, was gonna kill you"

[Mechakara]

Mechakara paused turning around hearing BLS's words but he was looking at the ground.

"But you are. Jim is afraid of me. He knows it was a spell but that doesn't matter. I broke his arm. I nearly killed him and Pinocchio. Why did this have to happen? The only one I wanted was to kill Linkara. And I wanted him to kill Iron Liz, Harvey, 90's Kid, Ensign Munroe, Linksano, Pollo, and the Ninja Style Dancer. All of them have ruined my plans to get my revenge on Linkara. And thanks to Facilier I end up hurting and scaring a couple kids." said Mechakara.

He paused as BLS spoke again that Jim would come to like him in time and he wouldn't let Jim be afraid of him forever. That he'd help him through this.

"I don't know. I've seen how much you care about him. I don't want to come between you two." said Mechakara.

He paused as BLS said it was for the best he helped kidnap Goggles as she was back with Spoony now. And he was with now with Jim. He paused as BLS told him to look at him. Mechakara looked up at him as he spoke. To his surprise BLS hugged him tightly and Mechakara hugged him back as well.

"I missed you too. You're one of my oldest friends. It was you, Judas Liz, and me against the world. Fighting against you and Goggles under their brainwashing was torture. We've become so close. You're not just one of my best friends. You're like a brother to me. For awhile I thought I lost your friendship with us in separate armies. I hurt two people who meant very much to you. Goggles and Jim. And here you are forgiving me. Thank you." said Mechakara.

He hugged BLS very tightly thankful he didn't cry knowing it would make him rust for sure. He then stepped back and gave him a sad smile.

"You've given me another chance and I won't blow it. I won't let anyone tear us apart and I'll make sure you, Jim, Insano, and the rest of our family and friends are safe. No one I care about is going to suffer ever again." said Mechakara.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

"No I'm not. It may look it right now but it isn't. I'm my own person as well as a friend and boyfriend, mechakara. What happened wasn't your fault. Jim and Pinnochio do have the right to be scared but they'll see that it wasn't your fault. They're young, they're afraid, it's understandable but they'll soon learn that you couldn't help what you did. Facilier is the one responsible and he'll pay for what he did" BLS bluntly responded to Mechakara's worried responses to him. He didn't care what mechakara said, he was going to make sure that the robot knew that he was his loyal friend. It may be awkward but BLS was determined. He loved the both of them too much to give up on either of them. There was still hope.

He then frowned sadly as Mechakara said he didn't want to come between them "I really doubt that. I know that Jim will understand. Yes nobody will make me not love him but I can't abandon anyone I care about. Including you" He smiled softly, hoping his words were sincere and they did sound it but BLS had to talk with Jim eventually. He DID love jim but his friend was in need, and what kind of friend would he be if he just sat back and allowed the robot to be shunned?

He definitely started tearing up, tears welling up in his eyes, as Mechakara hugged him tightly and said that he missed him back. That BLS was his oldest friend. That fighting against him was pure torture due to their relationship being so close. BLS completely related to it, fighting mechakara was like pulling teeth out without the medicine to make you feel better, it hurt like hell. He then paused at the fact Mechakara found him as a brother and that he was grateful that BLS was forgiving him. He pulled away as tears finally flowed, BLS sniffed and gave a small sound of hurt before wiping his tears away. "We are still brothers. Not physically or biologically but emotionally. We've handled a lot and we'll handle this too. You, to me, were my only family then your kids came then Jim and it's piled up. I feel human this way and I enjoy it. I'm not abandoning you. Not even for something as terrible as this"

He then saw mechakara respond that he would never blow this second chance, though BLS felt there was nothing to prove, he was glad his friend wanted to set things right. He nodded "Neither will I. I won't let your kids, you, Jim or anyone else get hurt because of some asshole who thought he could break families as well as armies. You're gonna be ok Mechakara. You won't be put through anything like that again. Not if I have anything to say about it"

[Mechakara]

Mechakara paused listening to him.

"It was my fault. I should have fought harder. I've been controlled by my Linkara, by Insano, and now that trio of sorcerers. All my boasting of strength and power. And I'm just a weakling. No wonder Linkara, Maleficent, Iron Man, and their friends have beaten me so many times." said Mechakara.

He slammed his fist in anger.

"I'll make Facilier, Malachite, and Rita pay for this." said Mechakara.

He turned to BLS and smiled.

"I hope it doesn't. I've lost so much. They didn't just take my mind. They took my self-respect and my dignity. The only thing I have left are my daughters, Seven of Nine, and my friends like you." said Mechakara.

Mechakara smiled as BLS hugged him back and his feelings were the same.

"Thank you. I'm glad you don't hate me or blame for this. But I can't stop blaming myself. I wish I could make it up to you, Jim, Pinocchio, and everyone." said Mechakara.

Mechakara smiled at him.

"Thank you. I'm glad my family and I have you to count on." said Mechakara.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

BLS was extremely shocked to see Mechakara so humble and so hateful of himself. Never before has the lantern seen the robot act in such a way. He had a bad feeling this would happen, it was still mechakara but the confidence that his friend had was pretty much gone. Facilier changed him both magically and personally, and the thought also made him vengeful just as much as Mechakara was. "Look you boast too much but so does a lot of people, you're not the first person to make simple mistakes like that and certainly won't be the last but the magic thing was not your fault. You told me yourself that you never could handle magic to begin with, that's just a part of who you are. Could it have been a different story if something changed before? Probably but what happened happened and you WILL know that overall it was not and will never be your fault. You aren't going to convince me differently" He said firmly and with a hint of stubborness.

"We'll both make the bastards pay, mechakara. I want a piece of them too. Nobody hurts my best friend and lives" BLS said, a very evident growl after he said that came out of his mouth.

"It won't. If I have to prove it to you somehow I will but it won't change. And yes, they did take a lot from you but like I said, it'll get better and I'll make sure you get it back. I'm sure you'll get it back. A lot of people here know you never meant it and the leaders will help you get self-respect back. I'll help you too, in any way, and your kids won't be left in the dark either" BLS assured calmly. Seeing Mechakara so hopeless and hurt was very unsettling for the lantern. This wasn't what he wanted for his best friend but the fact mechakara, above all people, was subject to emotional abuse and trauma was shocking to him too. He knew he had to help. Somehow. Any way.

He hugged tightly as Mechakara thanked him for not hating him or not blaming him "It's totally fine mechakara, after all you've been though I kinda see this coming. But I won't let you feel alone buddy. You're more than my friend, like you said, we're like brothers" He then responded about mechakara's wish to make it up to him "You don't need to make it up to me. Maybe I'll encourage pinnochio and jim to set up a meeting with you or something. Or maybe a little group chat or something. Maybe with me and/or loki or someone there to make sure things go smoothly. That is if you want"

"Of course. We're pals... brotherly pals. You'll always have my support. Now let's cheer up and do something fun, eh? We haven't had buddy time in a while!" BLS said enthusiastically

[Mechakara]

Mechakara glared at him before chuckling.

"You think I boast to much? Ha! You're the one who boasts a lot." said Mechakara.

Mechakara smiled as BLS was cheering him up with words.

"You have a way words my friend. You know just what to say to cheer me up." said Mechakara.

He was in better spirits but he still wasn't back to his old self. It would take a lot of time and revenge on Facilier and the others before that happened. He still felt it was his fault that he should have been stronger but he saw it was a lost cause with BLS so he dropped the subject.

"Thank you my friend. I want to make them all pay. Malachite is still recovering from his wounds that Spoony and I gave him in two seperate fights. So I say we should target Rita and Facilier for now and worry about Malachite later once we're done with those two. Perhaps we should start by taking away Leonardo from them. I heard we lost the other two turtles. But with Leonardo on our side perhaps we could even get the two traitors to come back. Or at least surrender to us. I'm sure they'd do anything to save their brother." said Mechakara.

He paused and smiled as BLS spoke.

"Thank you. I don't want to lose this friendship. I wished I'd brought you here sooner like I did with Judas Liz. I think she's probably still killing other Lizs in the multiverse. If there is any more left. She wanted to be the only one. But I've missed you. We were seperated for years while I was stuck here. And then this war happened and you showed up. These past few weeks I've been so happy to have you back. Then I lost you again because of that spell and I heart two people you cared about and you forgave me. I don't deserve that but I will make it up to you and Jim and everyone here." said Mechakara.

Mechakara smiled as BLS said it was fine and that he wouldn't let him feel alone. He smiled as BLS agreed they were like brothers.

"No. I was wrong. After all this time you are my brother. Maybe not by blood but by every other way that matters. I want you to promise me one thing. I've been blown up several times over the years but I know there may be one time I may not return. If that happens I want you to take care of my two daughters. They're your nieces now. I don't want to think like this but the last time I died I blew up with the ship. Dark Heart found me and rebuilt me. I still don't know how Terl and Zod survived but that's not important. I just want to make sure Dark Heart and Seven of Eleven are taken care of if the worst happens." said Mechakara.

Mechakara paused as BLS said he'd ask Pinocchio and Jim to talk with him or with Loki or the others.

"I would like to. But I might scare both of them. Perhaps you should talk with them. And I should probably have a talk with Loki, Dark Nella, and Ask That Guy when I get a chance. I don't want a god and a quasidemonic entity mad at me. I don't know if they blame me but I'd rather apologize and make it up to them as well." said Mechakara.

Mechakara grinned and nodded.

"What did you have in mind? I'm not really in the mood for training. But i'd be up for anything else." said Mechakara.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

"Hey I learned from the best" BLS teased as Mechakara responded that he boasted too much. He was enjoying that mechakara was snipping back at him, it was a good sign. He then smiled as Mechakara said that BLS always had a way with words and was cheering up mechakara "Think nothing of it. I'm just doing what any good friend would do. I'm glad I'm raising your spirits, even just a little"

"I agree to everything. Not only should we focus on rita and facilier more but taking leonardo can benefit us from both sides. We weaken Facilier and we get those idiot turtles to try and steal their brother back. But they'll find us waiting to kill them" BLS said sadistically. He was still very bitter about the turtle's escape and betrayal. Raphael and Michaelangelo knew quite a lot about their forces before their escape and it hurt to see them backstab them for the sake of splinter and donatello.

"You're not losing anything. You're my brother and friend for the rest of my days. All the stuff that happened that seperated us is in the past. I knew that you wouldn't hurt me if you could help me, and you didn't do it on purpose. I obviously can't convince you but I don't need your apoligies. There's nothing to be sorry about with me. With jim, sadly that's a different story" BLS said as he and mechakara kept talking about the issues facilier's spell caused. BLS was forgiving but unfortunately the same couldn't be said for the others

"Of course. I adore your kids. If anything happens to you, they're always welcome to be with me. I'll take good care of them. I know we shouldn't think of the worst but you're right. Darkheart and seven of eleven are my family too and they need to be taken care of. I'll make sure they are still under good protection from me" BLS confirmed. He was determined to keep a good eye on the girls. Mechakara, since he was bonded as his brother, depended on himself and BLS to take care of the kids and if mechakara was dead, BLS had to step in.

"That's true. But I'll set up a meeting with loki, ask thatguy and you and I will settle things with them. Loki's not very mad but I want him to not be suspicious of you. When the time is right, maybe loki and I can get jim and pinnochio to eventually talk with you" BLS planned out when the subject about the two fearful kids came into the picture. Then when the subject of doing something else came to mind, BLS pondered "Hmm. That is tough. We normally have training but since you're not up for that.... Maybe a game of some kind? Do you know any?"

[Mechakara]

Mechakara grinned at BLS's words.

"Thank you for the compliment." said Mechakara.

Mechakara smiled again grateful their friendship was restored and BLS was cheering him up a bit. He nodded at Black Lantern Spoony's words.

"I'm just grateful I could get my revenge for Malachite putting me on ice. Spoony already hurt him pretty bad so I just made it worse. But that could be worse problems." said Mechakara.

He paused in realization. Dark Heart was still recovering from her wounds. And he would not let Black Lantern Spoony, his daughters, Seven of Nine, Dr. Insano, Dr. Inusedo, Dr. Smith, and the rest of the army suffer for his actions. He paused looking back at BLS with a frown.

"They will soon retaliate for what I did to Malachite. They'll go after you, the scientists, Seven of Nine, or my daughters. Or Chuckles and the others because they helped us escape. I will not let them harm the ones I care about. There's only one thing to do. I'm going to go back and finish the job. And take out Facilier, Rita, and Malachite once and for all." said Mechakara.

He turned to go and was stopped by another barrier as he realized BLS had stopped him. He turned back to him.

"I have to go after them. Facilier hurt my daughter. Facilier and Rita need to suffer what they they put her through. And I'm not going to wait for them to attack." said Mechakara.

He sighed seeing BLS was just as stubborn as he was. He wasn't going to let him go. He frowned as he listened to BLS speak again.

"I'm grateful I still have you, my daughters, Seven of Nine, Chuckles, Phantom Virus, Rodney, Insano, Insuedo, and Smith." said Mechakara.

Mechakara smiled as BLS agreed to look after his daughters if something happened to him.

"I'm glad they'll have you if the worst happens. They may love Phantom Virus and Rodney but we both know love doesn't last forever." said Mechakara.

He paused realiziing what he said remembering BLS's recent breakup with Goggles. He knew he was with Jim now but the breakup still had to hurt.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to bring up painful memories." said Mechakara.

Mechakara smiled at him.

"Thank you. I think Dark Nella should be there as well. I hope you can try. I want to make it up to those two kids. I don't deserve their forgiveness. If they want to hate me they can hate me. I just don't want them to be afraid of me anymore." said Mechakara.

Mechakara paused shaking his head.

"None that I can remember. I deleted knowledge on games once I betrayed Linkara in my universe. I considered it trivial knowledge that I didn't need." said Mechakara.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

BLS smiled as Mechakara thanked him for the compliment. He then listened to Mechakara comment about getting revenge and BLS was glad. Good, he thought, let malachite pay for his crimes. He then saw Mechakara get nervous and realized that the facilier army would of course retaliate by taking it out on others instead of mechakara. The robot then decided, stupidly, to go out by himself and finish the job. BLS raised his ring in a instance and stopped mechakara "Ok. Now you're thinking rashly. You really want to risk your life and leave your daughters behind so soon with this stupid idea? I want to kick their asses just as badly as you do but giving them a easy target is just going to rile them up more"

"Your daughter needs YOU, not vengeance. She will get her glory day soon, just not now. She needs you to be here, safe, or else she'll worry and do the same thing you will do. She's your kid and she has similar traits to you. If you act rashly, DarkHeart will be right behind you. Now I'm not saying your daughter's a dog, I'm saying she loves you more than life. It'll kill her for you to be dead. Again" BLS responded annoyed, as Mechakara responded about Facilier and Rita forcing DarkHeart to submission by torture. As angry as he was, BLS didn't want to risk anything. "I'd rather have you pissed with me than lose you again. You're staying put. Whether you want to or not"

"You should. I'm a awesome friend" BLS chuckled "I'm kidding. I'm just doing what a real friend does. And your daughters are spectacular, you know this. And the doctors care about you too. Seven of Nine is gaga over you obviously and chuckles and the robot boys are your friends just as much as I am" BLS smiled softly at his best friend as they chatted. It was as if nothing has changed. And that was good.

"Well for teens no, but for you and me maybe that's not so true. I don't know. I both agree and disagree. Who knows? Maybe the boys will still be around but my offer will still stand. I'll be more than happy to take care of your girls if anything should happen" BLS responded, somewhat hesitant to what he said. He didn't entirely know thanks to his love for Jim. While goggles was proof that some loves didn't last, Jim proved that with a lost love came a new one, a stronger one, one that made a bit more sense. Yet mechakara's statement DID sting more than was allowed

"It's ok" BLS lied, his expression surprisingly calm "Not everything lasts. But it's ok. I've moved on" He shrugged it off and continued with the situation about Jim and Pinnochio. "Sure Dark Nella too. And they will stop being afraid. It'll just take some mending, patience and a whole lot of time. And don't you dare say you don't deserve forgiveness. You didn't have a choice. Pinnochio and Jim once they understand, will be aware of this"

"Then let's watch TV. That's something everybody can do. I got nothing else to offer" BLS responded about the fun issue.

[Mechakara]

Mechakara frowned at BLS.

"I have to. I have to stop them. I can't let them hurt my daughters. Or Seven of Nine. Or you. I'd rather it be me than one of you. I've already died several times before and been rebuilt. I can be rebuilt again but I don't want anyone else I care about to get hurt or get killed. Especially because of me." said Mechakara.

He paused as BLS said his daughter needed him not vengeance.

"I know she needs me. But they hurt her really bad. We were able to repair her some but we didn't have a lot of tools or time before we escaped so I'm not sure if it was a full repair job. They hurt my little girl and I can't let them get away with it." said Mechakara.

He frowned as BLS was being stubborn about not letting him go. He guessed he wasn't going to have his revenge. At least not now. He smirked at BLS.

"I know I have friends and family here. Maybe you're right. Maybe I should wait." said Mechakara.

He smiled at him as he would be happy to take care of his daughters if anything happened to him.

"Thank you my friend. I knew I could always count on you. Even brainwashed and under their control I always knew that. I'm just glad I didn't hurt anyone else especially you." said Mechakara.

He frowned seeing BLS was calm but he knew his friend better than that. He paused hugging him.

"You don't have to lie to me or try to appear strong around me my friend. I know you remember? I know Goggles was important to you. You may have Jim now but that doesn't mean you regret losing her either. But if you don't want to talk about it that's okay. Just don't feel like you have to hide something from me." said Mechakara.

He let go and grinned.

"I hope Jim and Pinocchio can forgive me and their families too." said Mechakara.

Mechakara smirked at BLS's offer of television.

"Tv doesn't interest me that much but I guess it's better than nothing." said Mechakara.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

"No, you don't have to, you WANT to. And I don't blame you for that. I want to do that more than anything. You think I want to allow Facilier to get away with what he did? Fuck no, but I'm not going to let you or myself risk our lives for somebody who is right now way too powerful and ready. He'd expect you to come alone, that's what he wants. He wants you to come running to him to make killing you far easier. And what if Facilier kills you enough to make sure none of us build you up again?!" BLS snapped, impatience evident in his tone. He didn't want to fight so much since he and Mechakara never fought with each other willingly, but this was starting to become the first time BLS was ever impatient with his robotic friend.

"Well she's going to be a hell of a lot worse if you aren't around to protect her for future battles. And it's not just her who needs you. Seven of Nine? What about her? She loves you and I know that. She volunteered to spy for you, risking her life and maybe her willing mind because all she wanted to do was to see you and the girls safe. And me! I can't lose you again, not after all I had to go through!" BLS said, impatience slowly turning into fright. He didn't want to lose his friend. He cared about DarkHeart a lot but he knew deep down DarkHeart just wanted her father to be alive, not going out to fight for her. He sighed softly, trying to sound more pleasant "I'm sorry. I know it's hard to not kick the asses of those who hurt DarkHeart, I know that, but if you know her and we do, she's going to go hell-fire on them once she's healed. Trust me, she'll get her revenge, your daughter is a good kid, and a badass one too" He then grinned as Mechakara changed his mind and would not go. He nodded "Yeah, you should"

"Like I would change my mind if you hurt me? No way. I knew you weren't thinking clearly, so I wouldn't be scared of you if you did. I'm your friend and brother, dude, don't worry about stuff like that. I trust you mechakara, and nothing will change that" BLS said sincerely. It was true. Mechakara done MANY good things for BLS. He was his confident when everyone else just saw him as a monster or villain. Jim of course was one of those people but Mechakara was the first person to EVER accept him for who he was.

"Heh. You're right. I can't lie to you. And I try not to. It IS regretful that Goggles isn't with me but I'm happy with Jim regardless. I understand that it's hurtful but I'm not that upset over it anymore" BLS insisted but his tone was far less calm and much more of a sincere pleasantness. He knew Mechakara didn't mean to make him upset and that he was his friend first and war ally second. He hugged mechakara back, enjoying that his friend was here

"They can and will. It will definitely take time though. Once you two are in the same room, I won't address it so bluntly, but I'll try to help you guys get together without pushing either of you" BLS promised. He then grinned as mechakara said that he was ok with TV despite not interested in it "It IS better than nothing. I'll try to think of something that'll pass the time but not by killing us with even more boredom" He then turned his body to indicate Mechakara to follow him and sat on the couch, patting the seat next to him to invite mechakara to sit.

[Mechakara]

Mechakara winced as BLS yelled at him and tried to talk sense into him.

"I need to make them pay. They hurt her. They hurt me. They froze me ice and left me there for hours. I still can't look at ice. Just hearing the word causes me to panic. I wasn't afraid of anything before. Not even death. But now I have two daughters and I'm afrai of being frozen again." said Mechakara.

He sighed looking at him.

"You're right. He'd be expecting this but that's never stopped me before. And if I was really gone for good at least I'd take those bastards out with me and keep my children safe. Besides after what I did to Jim and Pinocchio maybe it's better I go out with a bang." said Mechakara.

He smiled as he thought of Seven of Nine.

"She's wonderful but I can't stop just because people will miss me. I have to make them pay. To make them suffer." said Mechaara.

He sighed realizing BLS wasn't giving up and Mechakara had decided to stay. At least for now.

"I guess staying is a good idea after all." said Mechakara.

Mechakara smiled at him.

"I'm so lucky to have a friend like you. You've always there for me and even stop me from being a fool." said Mechakara.

Mechakara noded. He knew BLS was happy with Jim. He sighed thinking of Jim and Pinocchio.

"I hope they will. I nearly killed both of them. I'm lucky Ask That Guy and Dark Nella haven't killed me or thrown me in prison." said Mechakara.

He shrugged as BLS said TV was better than nothing.

"Just nothing with robots. They never win in these movies." said Mechakara.

[Black Lantern Spoony]

"We WILL make them pay, Mechakara. Just not now. Not like this. You need to be here now. Facilier can wait and once we're ready, we'll bring hell upon him. I know you want to give yourself some peace and not be afraid of being frozen. I do too. I want to help you get that revenge and some peace. But it's not the right time for you, for me and especially not for the girls" BLS replied. He was insistent. Because as much as Mechakara was understandable, he was not ready.

"You still have a lot going for. Sure it would stop something but it will leave you out of it. Whether you defeat them with your life or you get beaten up and they give up, nobody wins. Facilier has loyalty on his side so they'll come back eventually, your kids will miss their father, I'll lose a brother and you'll lose your life" BLS insisted. His heart ached for his brother in bond to just call this thing off. To just wait longer. To not be so rash and risk his life.

"Making them suffer always comes at a price. They'll come back in the end. And they'll want the same revenge you do right now" BLS replied stubbornly. He then was relieved to see Mechakara finally gave up. BLS nodded as Mechakara admitted that staying was probably the best idea. He then smiled back "That's what friends do. Make sure you get a swift asskicking when you're being dumb, and helping you up when you aren't"

"That's because they understood your situation. Jim and Pinnochio are younger and they'll get to the same understanding eventually. They just need time. We all do" BLS replied. He then nodded with a thumbs up "Right no robot movies got it. How about Zombieland? That movie has violence and it's fucking hilarious"
