Mad at Mouse Part 42

Mickey watched Destiny through the window of intensive care.

For now the machines beeped steadily. It wouldn’t last.

The first time they had stopped, Ludwig and the nurses had rushed in, everyone had been alarmed.

Mickey hadn’t been there, but Riku had come to him in near panic.

That time she had been fine.

The machine wasn’t.

Ludwig didn’t know how she was doing it, but she was draining the machines. A few hours away from Destiny and they were fine again. Not that they were trusted but...

After the third alarm when the machines failed Ludwig started looking into protecting the machines.

There was a method to her draining. Mickey hadn’t even thought to ask. No one had. It had to be unconscious. She had apparently done the same thing before, but no one had taken any note of it. Distance was a factor, but only a minor one.

Living things first. Then magical devices. Then batteries.

She rarely drained something dead, but anything living became sleepy around her after a while. It didn’t explain why he had passed out.

From here she would be draining him. He couldn’t feel it, but he hadn’t felt it before until he touched her. It wouldn’t kill him. She wouldn’t kill him.

They needed to know what she knew.

Minnie was going to kill him for this.

He opened the door.
