Big Daddy Delta -Part Five-

Sinclair dusted off his pants and straightened his clothing as he muttered about the rude types of people in Rapture. When he looked up to the Big Daddy he noticed the bulging bundles of flesh and barnacles clinging to the worn down armor. He reeled back and attempted to shoot the beast when he noticed it still hadn't moved. With hesitation it turned back around and ran before waiting at the end of the hall.

Sinclair hesitantly followed. It ran around another corner before another Big Daddy popped out of thin air. It ran to Sinclair and let out a deep groan before reloading its weapon. "Delta?" Sinclair asked, taking note of the cleaner and full armor around the Daddy's body and triangle on the back of its hand. It groaned again and glanced back at the Subject Alpha. "How do you have control of that-" Delta showed the posh man the Hypnotize plasmid he had obtained. Sinclair nodded and pointed at the temporarily controlled Daddy. "Just be sure you keep that thing under good watch. We don't need it turning on us when we're defenseless."

The Big Daddy groaned and threw the ball at the Alpha, who moaned in response. Sinclair turned, "All right, we need to fix the radio that you broke and figure out a way to the top. When you left did you find an elevator?" Delta moaned sadly before turning and leading the two down the hall and through a series of doors. Sinclair knew that if Delta could talk he'd probably say sorry, but that didn't excuse him for leaving the man by himself when he least expected it.

Delta stopped at a little red wagon and stared at the tonic inside for a good four minutes. Sinclair eased his way forward, "Kid?" he waved his hand in front of the Daddy's face and examined the little wagon. Childish drawings were near the wheels and a jar full of…he picked it up.

"Are these fireflies?" Sinclair turned the jar around in his hand to gaze at the little insects. "I haven't seen these since I came down here." The little bugs blinked and flew around before Delta grabbed onto the cap. "What do you want with a jar of insects?" he asked, releasing the jar, slightly saddened that the Daddy had taken away a sad memory.

He grabbed onto the top and twisted it around, releasing the insects and they flew in every direction, disappearing. "You let them go?" Delta moaned and grabbed onto the tonic as he continued walking. The hypnotized Daddy followed closely behind and stared mindlessly at a wall when Delta paused again, switching to his drill. "What is it?"

Delta groaned and Sinclair turned, a Rumbler was following a Little Sister around and stomping his way over dead Splicers that had wandered too close. He gave the Daddy a push, "We're not here for little girls, we're here to turn on the power and get out of here." Obviously, Sinclair couldn't move the subject and he revved his drill. "Delta!"

Delta pointed at the Rumbler and let out a roar, the hypnotized Daddy bellowed and charged forward, slamming its own drill against the Rumbler's head.

Sinclair couldn't help but want to watch, the two punched and blasted at the other and the hypnotized Daddy was able to slam the Rumbler into a wall. They bellowed and roared in anger as the Little Sister screamed for her Big Daddy to win and tear the other apart. As the battle dragged on both were covered in blood and appeared to be tired. The hypnotized Daddy revved its drill and pushed the Rumbler into the wall as it pushed the tip of the drill into the Rumbler's faceplate. Sinclair glanced away at the last second as he heard the two roar before one went silent.

"Daddy?" the Little Sister ran to her guardian and sobbed. "No! Daddy!"

The hypnotized Daddy ran back to Delta and waited for further command. "That…" Sinclair was speechless and watched as Delta scooped up the Little Sister gently and placed her on his shoulder.

"I love you Daddy…I know I'm always safe with you."

He strode over to the Daddy and scoffed; "Now we have a Little Sister to take care of. I'm not helping you with her." Delta placed his massive hand on Sinclair's head and began to walk as the Little Sister hummed and sang.
