Chapter Text
Standing as time goes by, customers going in checking out the new tea place that opened.
Eggcellent Tea is the name of the place. Robotnik runs it, as he waits for Dr. Stones arrival back. Waiting, hes not sure how long though, it feels to long though.
He got the message, more like he found it. The Doctor seemed to have known something was going to happen to him. At night when the store is closed, he goes upstairs to where he is living. Laying in bed hey plays the recording.
"My sycophant, just in case something happens to me I need you to put that brain to work. When I come back, I'll need bots. Unsure what G.U.N will do to all my things for when I'm gone, but don't let them get to it. You Robotnik are all I have when it comes to loyalty. Do this, and do it right."
Its ends there. He replays it, like other messages hes saved in the pasted. When Stone talked into the watch to tell him something, every message was saved. He knew if his Doctor found out, the man would kill him.
He just loved his voice, it makes him smile knowing he needs him. Even for small things.
Now Julian Ivo Robotnik lays there, in bed waiting for the day his Doctor will come back.
Robotnik waits, waiting for the day he comes back. Thinking, how the hell he got here. Looking out the windows he sees the blue flash of Sonic. The hedgehog enjoying his life, smiling with his family. While he stands alone, as he lets himself go.
He could catch that hedgehog himself, all those bots, flight ship, every tech that Dr. Stone used was made by Robotnik. Him. He could just move on, get the damn creature himself. Closing his eyes in anger.
Hes made his way to working with G.U.N with no help, he learned languages, coding, he made Egg. With no ones help, he doesn't need anyone.
No.
What is he thinking, leaving Dr. Stone. Moving on, he can't. Stone never left him, even when angered, even when Ivo got kidnapped, when he did make mistakes. He stuck with him. Something no one eles did.
He relaxes his body, as he opens his eyes. He sees a man walk in. "Hello! I've never been a tea person" he's in uniform "but I'm always willing to try new things!" He smiles, a dumb looking smile.
"What would you like?" He looks down at the name tag. Wade, is the mans name.
"Hm, what's your best seller?"
"Lemon tea with honey" its not the best seller. Its Stones favorite.
"I'll take that" he look excited for something like tea. Ivo felt the same, but now making tea thats not for his Doctor feels. Off.
Once done, Wade pays and goes off with his tea, saying bye as he waves, thanking him. Robotnik looks back down at the table, feeling empty.
Standing in the bathroom, looking at the mirror he sees himself. More like a hallowness of once was him. His hair has grown long, his ginger hair grows in. The black that he dyed on the ends on his hair, same for his mustaches that getting wild. He just can't find it in him to care.
Walking into bed, he sees Egg laying in bed, looking like a perfect egg that she is. When he enters, she opens her legs and turns to Robotnik. Cute chirp like noises escapes her.
"Hey, girl" he says laying in bed, placing a hand on her head. She closes her eye, walks closer to Robotnik. Pushing, as close as possible. Turning on her heating, knowing how much Ivo loves it. The man smiles, as he wraps his arm over her. "Thanks my sweet baby" she chirps before closing her legs and closing her eye.
