Forgotten: No one can escape. A great flash emerged above all of Aronia leaving each with short term memory loss. Years lost to the fog of amnesia. Can no one recall? That appears to be the case. Whom or what is responsible? Panic has stricken the globe. Will civilization collapse? What will emerge from the reset? Only time will tell. To each citizen of Aronia from the Global Gazette, we wish all luck.
Welcome to Aronia. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Misery smiled at Asher's response and moved closer to him. "I think the rain is alright." She said slipping one of her arms underneath his and holding onto it. "Its refreshing and when it leaves, the sun seems to shine so brightly."

Misery looked out at the road ahead of them, "Well, without you I would still be stuck with that man. Who knows what he would have done with me if I stayed. And if all this had happened without you, I would be lost."

She could feel him shaking slightly and she rested her head on his shoulder. "Your...your arm. It doesn't frighten you does it? Or make you feel...maybe as though you were a freak?"

"I am sure it may field strange at first, but you will get used to it. It will protect you too, help keep you safe." Misery added, closing her eyes in thought.

He smiled and tugged her just a little closer, leaning his head a little against hers

"Yeah.... I guess it's just that I've never had any luck during the rain... just bad things so far. I mean look, that cheap knockoff of you showed up just after the rain"

He chuckled a little bit, but his emerald eyes turned serious as he looked back to her

"I'm just glad you're alright.... I'm glad I found you, glad you believed me... gladder still you've stayed with me..."

He looked at his left arm and hand, it was the one grasping the wheel, so he could see his skin, the slender silver slits there....

"A freak? No.... I've always been a little different. Besides... it's a piece of you, isn't it? You know I don't think you're a freak... honestly it's kind of cool"

He laughed, looking to the road again as he took a turn

"We protect each other, Misery... that's why they won't be able to get either of us. Right?"

"Yes, it is a part of me. My blood I guess you can say." Misery stated, watching the road sign move on by.

Misery smiled at Asher's last statement and held onto his arm tighter. "Right! They cant get to either of us, so long as we are together. And even if we do get separated, I wont go down without a fight."

Misery's eyes began to close again, her sentence trailing off as she began to fall asleep. "And...one day...we wont have to fight....anymore....."

Her breathing shallowed as she fell asleep, listening to the sounds around her. She almost wondered where she would be when she opened her eyes again. It was an adventure, in a way. She had never seen this much before besides in books.

He nodded a little bit

"Silver, though, as opposed to blue... I wonder what the difference is..."

He looked thoughtful for a few moments. It was the most curious how the stuff had seemed... attracted to him... Was it possible that the nanomachines had a certain intelligence of their own? Or was it that even such a small amount of them had a connection to her mind? most probably to her subconscious... It made a certain sense... some kind of broadcast control, but using what medium? There were no radio waves or waves of any sort coming off her that were detectable... was it sub-ether? And just how many of those things were in him now...? They obviously replicated at an insane rate... Gods the more he learned about her the more a mystery what she was became to him.... and the more he learned about her as a person... well... he looked down to her sleeping form for a moment, and smiled softer

"Sleep tight..."

He kept driving, speeding up actually, just putting as much distance as he could between them and the others....

---------------------------------

He finally stopped by a beautiful waterfall and a stream, and there was a shallow cave in the rock behind the falls, would make good shelter if the sound of the falls didn't bother her... he put a hand on her shoulder, and shook her just lightly

"Hey..."

Misery stirred when Asher woke her and finally opened her eyes. "Where are we?" She mumbled, rubbing her eyes and taking a moment to look around. "Oh wow! A real waterfall!"

She got out of the car and went over to the stream and looked in it. She could see small fish swimming against the current and smiled, then sun just peaking over the horizon. "Are we going to stay here for a little while?" Misery asked hopefully. "Its a beautiful spot."

She looked around and smiled, "We should find a place so you can rest. It wasn't fair for me to sleep while you had to stay awake and do all the driving." Misery said, looking around. "This time, I will stay awake and watch over you." She said with a smile. "Would you like something to eat?"

She moved over to the car again and began to dig through their things. "Ah, and we have peanut butter and jelly. Some chips too. If we could get a fire going, we could cook the hot dogs we have before they spoil."

He smiled softly

"You like it then? Good I'm glad"

Asher yawned widely as he got out of the car, pushing a hand back through his hair.

"Nah, don't worry about it..."

He walked back to the trunk and opened it, looking around a little

"Okay, well... I have a torch here to start the fire... ummmm no axe but I have a monofilament scythe"

He pulled something that looked a little like a small flashlight out, and walked over to a fallen tree. He pressed the switch up, then swung it, being extremely careful about it. There wasn't a visible cut or anything, but then several of the branches just fell off, and he shrugged

"Guess it still works..."

He wnt about chopping the wood then, more like cutting wood with a scalpel really than an axe...

Misery smiled as she watched Asher work. Leave it to the scientist type to cut would in that way. She could help but laugh at him as he did so and looked at the torch.

She brought out some food, wondering about the color difference. Perhaps maybe, that there was a great concentration of pure nanites as opposed to...whatever she had as blood? She went over and filled a jug with water from the stream, then ran it through a filter to make sure it was safe to drink.

She collected the wood Asher had already cut and paused, standing over him. She gave a laugh then, and moved off, putting the torch to the wood until it could burn on its own. She set up a collapsible grill type thing over the fire and placed the hot dogs onto it and began to cook them.

She looked up, looking serious, "Would you like peanut butter, or jelly on your hot dog?"

Misery waited a few moments and then gave a wide grin, producing some ketchup and mustard and the like. "Just kidding."

Energy surged within Solace and finally she sat up. "Must return for repairs...." She rose into the air, returning to her 'father' where he extracted all the information from her.

"She regenerates too quickly." He said, pondering. "The only way to get to her is to stop that regeneration, but how?"

He turned and looked at Solace, watching her charge and smiled. "Hmm, I might have an idea that could work. If she has no energy, then she cannot heal herself....."

He cut the whole thing up, then he looked to her and smiled, watching her carry a load back before he carried one back too, and lay down on one of the pads

"Sorry, think I'm pretty dead tired... the nanites must have drawn on some of my energy... body's electric field or something... either way I've been wiped out ever since..."

He shook his head a little bit, looking apologetic before he put his head back on the pillow.

"Jelly..."

He said, unfazed by her question, though he looked to her eyes and finally broke out laughing

"I'm actually wondering if that wouldn't be too gross after all, you know?"

He smiled then and closed his eyes

"Thanks for cooking again..."

Misery smiled, knowing Asher had to have been tired. "You rest then and I shall keep the food warm for you."

She was a little startled about the jelly remark, but she would let Asher sleep for now. "I dont mind cooking at all. Sleep as long as you want. I will wake you if anything changes."

Misery watched Asher for a little while, then made herself a hot dog eating it in silence, listing to the water fall. Curious she slapped on a little peanut butter and tasted it. She thought about the taste and smiled, putting peanut button on her whole 'dog.

"Not too bad." She said to herself. She silently moved over to the stream and began to break of little bits of her bread and sprinkle it onto the water and watched as the fish gobbled it down. Misery put one of her birds next to Asher, then began to explore the area as the sun rose. It wasn't long before she found the place behind the waterfall.

"Wooow!" She exclaimed, listening to her voice echo. Slowly but surely, Misery moved they camp to the hidden cave, figure it would be safer. She put out the fire and made sure the evidence of it was well hidden, then his the car.

Once all that was done, she sat on the ground next to Asher and moved his head to her lap. She gazed down at him for a little while, then looked up at the sun, letting it give her more energy. It felt nice after a long, cold and wet night.

Misery then just waited for Asher to wake up, enjoying the scenery and wildlife around her.

He nodded a little bit, watching her sit there and cook for a while as he finally drifted off. When he opened his eyes, he looked up at her, and smiled softly

"I knew you were here with me... I didn't have any bad dreams..."

He nuzzled against her slightly, yawning and closing his eyes again

"Did you go and try it after all...?"

He laughed a little bit, sleepily. He knew he should get up, but... somehow he didn't really want to move away from her at all... the closeness was really nice...

"Still any food around...? I'm starved..."
