Marce and Annalika slipped quietly into the city. Here and there, people were still seen. They still lived their lives amongst the rubble of the fallen buildings. It was dangerous to be here, but they needed supplies. Annalika partly wished that Kyle could have come along…. But Kyle had gone ahead to make sure the way was safe for them. They had to get what they needed and get out to meet Kyle.
The journey in and the gathering of supplies had actually gone pretty smoothly aside from Annalika having to scare a shopkeeper almost to death and having to beat down a few gang-member wannabes who thought that they could take over the rubble-strewn streets and terrorize everyone. Stupid humans! It was a wonder that Biotech had not invaded this dirty hole of a place yet. There were a few people left on the street. Two figures caught Annalika's eye. A mother was clutching a small child close, hurrying off into the night. Marce's eyes seemed to change after the mother and child had passed.
As they left the city, Annalika noticed that Marce seemed…. detached. Was there something on her mind? The sky was starting to darken and the horizon to the west was fiery with the colors of the sunset. Still, though the sky was beautiful, something felt off to Annalika.
She and Marce decided to stop and rest for a little while. Kyle was about a mile away and they could easily make the trip before the sun went down. Annalika was drawn from that thought by a small sobbing sound coming from Marce.
"Little Bird, what is the matter?" Annalika's voice was gentle as she turned to face her friend. She was startled though. Marce never cried, yet here she was, with tears streaming down her face.
"Ann-Ann-Alkey… did you see them?" Marce's words hitched in her throat.
"See who?"
"T-the m-mommy and her c-child. I heard them. The mommy was saying sweet things to her child…"
"I saw them. Why do they make you cry?" Annalika felt her heart lurch for poor Marce.
"I never h-had a mommy! N-nobody ever l-loved me!" Marce cried, her whole body shaking with the surprising force of her misery.
Annalika quickly gathered Marce up in her arms, rocking her back and forth. "Now, now, do not cry! It is ok! I know it is very sad for you, but trust me, you have people that love you. I love you, Marce. So does Kyle, and Romulus, and Hale. You will never be alone again because you will always have us."
Marce nodded, but continued to cry. Annalika continued to rock her, her voice giving soothing words to her poor, brokenhearted friend. With a startled thought, Annalika realized that maybe Marce had never gotten to grieve for her mother before. Maybe she would feel better after being able to do so.
It turned out that they did not meet Kyle before the sun set. Instead, Annalika held Marce all night and let her cry until she fell asleep.
Looking down at Marce's red, tear-streaked face, Annalika made her a promise. "I will be your mother, Marce. I will always love you and I will always protect you. I swear it."
The moon peeked out from behind a cloud, shining down on them both, as Marce fell into a more peaceful slumber.
The setting is in the future. Annalika Lynn, the Cyborg, and her friend, a genetically-altered girl named Marce, have an adventure in the city.

Keep in mind:
Marce is very young and she is also blind.
