Chapter Text
It was storming horribly outside, it was most definitely going to be a rough night for everyone, Sonic sighs deeply as he close the blinds, he despises water, and forever will, water is in predictable, you'll never know when a lightning strike can occur unless you're some good of some sorts.
Besides the dangerous winds and rain outside it was oddly cozy and the shared home he has with his buddy Tails, who was now working on something in his room, he was told by the fox that it was a big surprise for him.
Sure he is glad tails was having fun with the little project for him, but his health was one of his main concerns to Sonic.
So that's why Sonic stood in the kitchen now cooking up some soup for Tails.
That was until he heard a door open he turns his head to the side to see tails with some sort of device now "hey pal, what you doing with that?" Sonic questions, Tails hums "Well sonic, I was about to go out and try to see if I can locate some things with it, I may even find something really cool and strong to help us when fighting Robotnik" Tails responds as he was heading to the door.
Sonic eyes widen and he quickly speeds to the door stopping tails before he could even twist the door nob.
"Hold it up buddy, it's way too dangerous right now to even step a foot out there, I don't want you getting hurt"
Tails rolls his eyes "Oh Sonic, I'll be fine"
"That's what you think..."
Tails were now frowning up at the blue hedgehog "please Sonic I'll be fast!" Tails begs this may be his only chance to be able to get some high readings while it was storming like this, and Sonic was about to make him miss this chance.
Sonic stares at Tails deep in thought, he hates to break Tail's spirits about being able to go out and do whatever stuff with the device but it could get him hurt...
"Please I can't take care of myself...I'm not a little kid"
"Your 8"
"And"
"Don't sass me Tails"
Then there was a long pause, and Tails began to give him the puppy dog eyes or in this case kit eyes
"Fine, just make it quick, please"
"Yes sir!" Like that Tails was out of the small home.
"I hope this is not a mistake," Sonic tells himself.

If the kit was being honest he was somewhat scared but in his mind, he reminds himself of how Sonic would (probably) be able to do this, so he shouldn't be too frightened, right?
He looks down at the device that kept blinking and getting stronger and stronger, he was a bit surprised that it was actually working, and quickly got a mini shovel out of his backpack and marked where he it got stronger to check back on it once morning rises.
'Sonic is going to be so excited at this! I just know it!' Tails thought to himself a small smile rising to his lips.
He was so distracted by how strong the power waves were going to the device and gladly followed where it got stronger at.
That was one mistake he made.
Suddenly loud thunder interrupted from close by, too close for comfort, Tails jumps at this, he couldn't help but wish he listened to Sonic now though.
He found himself trying to get back home now, harsh winds blowing into his face making rain also blow to making it a struggle to see what was in front of him.
But it was too late for the Kit, then with a blink of an eye, a lightning strike hit Tails from the front of his body making him let out a streak of pain.
"Agh!" He fell to his knees holding his chest tightly, it was hard to breathe, and his eyes felt blurry too.
He felt so hot from the chest down that it was hard to even feel as if it was even there or not, his mind couldn't register it too well.
He was in so much pain, he falls down to the ground fully now holding himself tightly as he felt small shocks interrupt in him making him shake here and there.
He was so scared, just begging to himself that Sonic would find him.

It's been over an hour now, and whole hour and Sonic pal still hasn't come home.
"Maybe he just lost track of time," Sonic says out loud to himself.
Tails always lost track of time when he does something he really enjoys, so that's what probably happen, right?
Sonic tapped his foot on the floor waiting close near the door now for him, the soup was now getting cold and the wind was still strong.
After another hour passed Sonic had enough he walked straight out the door and began yelling for Tails.
He even began to call Knuckles and Amy telling them that he can't find Tails.
They immediately questioned the hedgehog as to why he would let an 8-year-old out by himself in a storm like this.
Sonic sighs "I just...I don't know I just worried guys" He states he made his way through the hard rain, making him a bit uncomfortable the longer he was in it.
They told him that they'll help look for the fox the best they can.
Amy shames him for such the action of letting Tails go out by himself of course though.
After many long minutes and walking, Sonic caught the glimpse of a bright body through the wind and rain, horror was written on his face as he sped up to it and quickly turned them over to reveal tails.
"Holy fuck Tails," Sonic says while examining his body with fear, there were obvious burnt marks on Tails, they looked painful and red.
Without a second thought, Sonic picked Tails and ran all the way back home, glancing down at Tails, feeling his own tears build up, but he held them back.
Once he got back into the much warmer place he places Tails onto the couch and looked at him better now, he most definitely got hit by some bad lighting.
Sonic let his tears fall, he got Tails hurt, it's his fault.
