Give the Knife Back

Author's Note: Based on a conversation with Aqua. It let to this little oneshot. Enjoy.

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

 S's POV:

 " Mighty please!" I called out as my tail twitched. Mighty sat in the cat tree and chewed on the handle of a knife. I... I wish I knew how this happened. One minute, Mighty was herself and fine. The next? I'm dealing with a wolftige hybrid that is chewing on a sharp object while sitting in a cat tree. 

 I reached my hand up to where Mighty was sitting. The hybrid started to growl until she dropped the knife and drove her sharp canines into my hand. I pulled back as the hybrid remained dug deep into my hand. 

 Okay, it... Ow... Ow. Ow! Okay, maybe I can just get the knife now? I reached my free hand up to the black handle causing Mighty's ears to perk up. She almost instantly moved her head and drove her mouth into my other hand while slapping the left with her claws in order to keep it pinned. 

 " Okay, okay.. Let me go!" I growled as I slowly pulled away. My tail thrashed as Mighty hissed and let go of my hands. Mighty, almost immediately, went back to chewing on the knife handle. The blood on my hands splattered to the ground as I sighed, " I... I can't do this alone..." I sighed as Q came in, " How's getting the kn- oh my god! S!" he hurried to my side and looked at the holes that also went through my hand. 

 Q looked at Mighty with a tired look, " Look, after I get your hand fixed, you need to call one of Mighty's friends." he sighed as I nodded. Q's tail thrashed as he got a needle, thread, bandages, and other medical equipment. 

 I frowned as he worked on my hands, " Ugh, I know that I probably should've had help, Q...." I sighed as Q nodded, " Yeah obviously.... You just didn't want to put others in the way of Mighty's bite..." 

 My tail twitched as sighed. Q finished working on my hands as I tried to bend them. One hand bended, but the other remained stationary, " Yeah, that one is going to be like that for a while... Mighty had a death grip on that one." he sighed. Q took my less bandaged hand, " We're both lucky that you didn't get the magical bite. I don't know what'd I do with two wolftigers rolling around." he laughed awkwardly. 

 I smiled slightly as I crossed my arms, " Oh come off it Q, you've handled me as a penguin before." my tail shook as Q nodded. Q looked up at Mighty as the wolftiger hissed down at us. Q's tail shook at he sighed, " Let's call one of Mighty's friends alright?" he looked at me with a pleading look. I nodded as Q took out his communicator. I watched as he called up one of Mighty's friends. I sighed. As much as I wanted to do it, I cannot feel a majority of my hands.

 Q nodded and hung up, " Good news... Aqua is coming over, but I have bad news." he sighed as his tail swished. I tilted my head as he fixed his glasses, " It seems like a certain group of dragon-like hermits have been changed into children..." he remarked as I blinked.

 " H-How?" I questioned as Q shrugged, " I'll find out when I get there." he kissed my cheek as he left the room. I sighed as I waited for Aqua to arrive. I was not going to risk getting my hands ripped up again. 

 ((A few minutes later brought to you by a dragon!False being nuzzled by baby dragon bros))

 Aqua came in with a small frown on her face. The siren looked at my hands, " Oh S... Q really made only a small glimmer in how bad your hands look." she looked at my bandaged hands. I shrugged my shoulders, " It's not a big deal..." I sighed as my head shook. 

 The siren shook her head, " I'll see what I can do about our fuzzy friend here..." her tail shook. Aqua walked over to the cat tree and looked up at Mighty, " Hey, can I please see the knife? I've been looking for some alternatives recently for my trident, y'know? " she spoke in a calm voice as a blue magic started to come from her eyes, " 

 Mighty hissed and swatted at Aqua's hand as she reached up. I took a step forward, but Aqua stuck a finger up to me in order to keep me back. I stopped as the siren continued to charm the small fluffball, " I'm sorry Might.... You're okay. I'm not going to hurt you. You want to remember that, right? I don't wish to hurt my friends..." she smiled as Mighty's ears slowly started to go back.

 The wolftiger slowly let go on the knife as her eyes reflected the same glow that Aqua's eyes had. Mighty quickly moved to the ground before running around like a chicken with no head. Aqua handed me the knife as I slid it into a carrying case. The hybrid watched Mighty with a sigh, " One knife, acquired from a fluffy wolfpup, anything else that you need?" she questioned while still not looking at me.

 My tail twitched, " I... I honestly can't think of anything." I rubbed my chin. I looked at Mighty as the hybrid rammed muzzle first into the wall. She staggered around like a dog wearing boots until she flopped over. Aqua walked over and scooped Mighty up. 

 " How about I take Mighty until she turns back? You seem a bit... frazzled..." Aqua frowned as she started to scratch Mighty's neck causing the hybrid to purr. I nodded at Aqua slowly, " Thank you..." I sighed as she nodded. 

 I looked at the knife carrier as Aqua carried the tired and slightly hurt Mighty out of the room. How can a bloody knife change someone to this degree? I sighed as I looked at my hands, " Does it choose who it affects? Does it have that sort of sentience?" I rubbed my eyes and sighed as I took the knife holder and moved it into a small safe in the meeting room. It would be safe here, after all. 

 I crossed my arms as I sat down in one of the chairs. My tail twitched as I put my bandaged hands onto the table. I wanted to scratch at them so bad, but at the same time I just wanted to sleep. My tail twitched again as I stood up and looked towards the safe. I should probably call Q and tell 'm that we got the knife. 

 I held my communicator up and gently typed the call to Q. Q answered with a sigh, " S, you wouldn't believe how insane a bunch of baby dragon hybrids are!" he groaned as I snickered. My tail twitched, " Well, you can tell me about it when you get home love... For right now, I just wanted to call you and say that Aqua got the knife back for me." I told him as he sighed in relief. Q let out a yawn, " Good. Good. We can figure out more about it when I get home. Which should be soon. For right now, get some rest." he told me, " I will, Q... Love you.." I smiled as Q let out a small laugh, " Love you too..."

 My tail twitched as I hung up the communicator. Aqua came in with Mighty in her arms as I put my head down. Aqua sighed as she sat down in one of the nearby chairs. The siren looked at me, " Mighty refused to go through the portal to the point where she would try and bite my hands off..." she scratched the underneath of Mighty's chin as the hybrid purred. 

 I nodded as my tail twitched, " Eh, she gets like that..." I yawned as I sat down and curled up in my chair. Aqua frowned at me as I started to fall asleep. The siren shook her head as she draped a blanket over me, " Sleep well, S." she sighed as I nodded and fell asleep.
