I Will do Anything for You, Even if I Lose the Stars

It had been two weeks. A half of a month, since his little girl had been washed away before his very eyes. Two weeks since Current had lost her other half, and had lost her own light as well. Two weeks since the last time Voltage had known what to do. Two weeks of Glacier being at his side, every second, every breath, trying to help Voltage through this. But he didn't know. No one knew. No one could understand what it felt to watch something you made, watch a little bit of you, become lost to the world. Twice. How could any of them understand the feelings you felt when you lost a child? It had been a week since Voltage had finally given up, finally understood that his child, that his daughter, was lost to the world forever.

For the first time in a week, Voltage had left the den. He hadn't move very far, no. He had managed to get to the ocean before he fell to his side, cheek to black sand, staring out with dead eyes at the ocean. The waves in their crest had managed to wash over his side but now that the tide was out, it just barely touched his toes with the strongest of waves. There was nothing but numbness as he stared, watching the waves and praying to the universe, to whoever decided that Voltage was not allowed any of his own happiness, to just...save his daughter. To raise her from the waves and return her to him. To give him back his light.

He had lost everything that day. It had been a catalyst, a fatal crack, and Voltage had been lost to the waves as well. Without the light, his energy couldn't shine. Without his family...his family, he couldn't feel. He felt resentful, felt spiteful, but also...felt nothing. Where the hell was his family?! His daughter, his little girl was gone, and aside from that fateful day the only one that was at his side was Glacier. His family that he had laid his life down for. His family that, since the moment he had seen them, had vowed to protect them and care for them and guide them. His family, whom he worried about each and every day, was nowhere to be seen when HE needed them!

For once.

For once, Voltage needed them.

And they were nowhere to be found.

Why, oh why, did the universe hate him so...
