*???*

Fate turns to Destiny, rage in her eyes.

"You helped that little runt get away from me, and now my baby's world is being destroyed! Bring that runt back! And then my baby can enjoy his endless creation again!" Destiny folds her hands over her chest, staring calmly at Fate.

"You'd have me bring a traumatized and broken skeleton back so you can keep your baby from any consequence for his actions? No. I can't bring Error back, and even if I could, I wouldn't. You and Ink need to learn that your actions have consequences. Consequences you both need to accept instead of shoving the fallout onto another and then trying to end that person's life in a twisted game of blame everyone but yourself."

*FreeVerse*

Everyone gathers around Life's house in ReaperTale, the goddess creature working hard to heal the young and broken skeleton. The Error of the FreeVerse (Acronymed as FV Okay?) is in the house as well, watching Life work hard.

Life sits down, sighing, the sleeping Error of unknown origin sleeping on her couch. The skelechild he adopted, Nova, is currently eating some sort of cookie.

"Nom...nom..." Life looks at Nova, concern on her face.

"Did Error give birth to you?"

"No...some creepy and tall skeleton hurt me a lot...but then I felt a ripple nearby and ran to the source, laying down with the good skeleton. He fed me and clothed me, and protected me from the creepy tall skeleton. He's a good dad...I think that's the word." Life nods, looking at the FV Error.

"Thank you for bringing these two. Nova was it, come here." Nova stands, and walks over to Life, green magic surrounding the two as Life holds Nova's hands, healing any minor wounds on the skeleton.

A familiar and boisterous Blueberry walks in, sitting down and knitting a scarf. Nova sits in front of the blue-tinted skeleton, the former's eyelights shaping slightly into stars. Blue blinks, looking down at the smaller skeleton, and grins, working blue yarn into the black scarf, intertwining the two colors. Once Blue finishes the scarf, he hands it to Nova, who gasps, vibrating softly, and looks at Blue like he's insane. Upon further gesturing from Blue that Nova can have it, Nova takes it, wrapping the scarf around his neck and sitting beside the sleeping guardian, giggling softly. The giggling is enough to wake the other Error, who opens his eyes, and rushes up, running to a bathroom. Everyone looks confused, but the Error comes out a few seconds later. Life studies him, realizing.

"Oh...He'll have to eat food for several months before being brought back here."

"Life, what's wrong?" FV Error speaks, Life looking at him.

"This child hasn't ever had healing magic, real healing magic, applied to him, so his body likely assumes it's all bad and forces the magic out of his system. I imagine he also hasn't had a steady stream of food." The Error shrugs.

"Chocolate from UnderFell, but that was only when I had time to steal some outside of training, destroying AUs, and feeding HorrorTale Sans and Papy." Life looks at FV Error, both holding a look of hesitation and worry. Blue stands up, and the other Error freezes, his eyelights meeting Blue.

"Oh god...hah...you don't know me, do you? I'm...I'm a danger to you all." The Error grabs Nova's hand, leaving the house.

"Error, you should-"

"He can't leave. Nightmare and Reaper will stop him. We look the same after all."

Error, holding Nova's hand, rubs his scarf with the other hand, bumping into a very tall skeleton. Error is the tallest of those in the DeterminedVerse besides the Gaster!Sansi, and this Sansi, a normal one, is taller than him. Error looks up the extra few inches to see Nightmare's purple pupils.

"You must be that Error-look-a-like that caused my lovely boyfriend to not sleep for two-to-three days." Nightmare, in his passive form, hugs Error, causing a disgruntled noise to leave the smaller skeleton.

"Let me go." A second skeleton hugs Error, this one driving fear into Error's mind.

"Hey, Heard you were talking to Life, what happened?" Error starts shaking, releasing Nova's hand, blue strings wrapping around the skeleton holding him and sending him flying.

"D0n'7 70UcH m3!" Error screams, badly glitching, his eyesight black, tears down his face.

"D-d0n' 70uch m3..."

"Dad?" Error looks around, but can't see Nova.

"Nova?"

"Daddy, I'm right in front of you." Error holds up his hands, feeling Nova's smaller ones hold him, calming him down slightly.

"It's okay...I...my vision is just rebooting...I should be able to see in a bit."

FV Error walked out to a mess. Reaper is against a wall, Nightmare is freaked out, and the other Error suddenly has pieces of his body glitching out. FV Error walks around to see Nova holding the other Error's hands, the other Error's eyes glitched out badly. Nova helps the other Error to sit with his legs crossed, Nova sitting on his lap, whispering softly to the badly glitching skeleton.

"Reaper thought he was me?"

"Yeah, and we uh learned he doesn't like Reaper..." FV Error frowns.

"Odd..." FV Error walks over to the Error, kneeling in front of him and waving his hand.

"If you are waving your hand in front of me, or doing something to that effect, I can only see shadows moving. I'll get my eyesight back soon."

"Why didn't you like Reaper touching you?"

"I don't like people, in general, touching me. They're just gonna hurt me. Some people are different...but it's easier to assume they're all going to hurt me."

"But you reacted more to Reaper...why?"

"Oh, because Reaper stabbed me with his scythe once. The wound never completely healed either." The glitched Error moves his shirt slightly, revealing a stab hole wound right near his soul.

"Survived because Fate is cruel. But...uh...I think that qualifies as a good reason, right?" FV Error blinks, looking at FV Reaper. FV Reaper shrugs.

"I've never seen this newcomer before today." The glitching Error just readjusts so Nova is more comfortably seated, while the two wait for his vision to clear up. Blue sits beside Error, humming softly.

"Error, from the other world. How ya doing?"

"Terrible. My vision is fucked and you all seem to not know me...which means I'm either dead, in hell, or in heaven." Nova looks up at the Error and touches his face.

"You seem alive to me. Maybe this is heaven, cause you're my angel." Nightmare, Reaper, and the Error all blush. My boyfriends blushed because that was a pickup line altered. The Error blushed because...FV Error sighs.

It's not hard to see from the way Error is reacting to Nova's affection...the poor guy's likely never had any good attention from anybody...

Nova giggles at the Error's blush.

"Daddy, have you never been complimented before?" The other Error looks away, sighing.

"My history is much more complicated now that this seems to be a new multiverse..."

"Why?" The other Error looks at Nova, his eyesight back by the fact the error signs are gone and his pupils are back.

"Because I wasn't always considered a good person. Half the multiverse I came from thought I was a bad monster, the rest either knew the truth or just thought in shades of gray." The Error's face takes a sad look.

"And some people who believed in me were badly hurt because of their belief in me." Nova looks up at Error, eyes wide in disbelief.

"People thought you were bad? But you've bought me food, gave me clothing, and protected me from Gaster. You are a perfect monster." Error chuckles dishearteningly.

"Nova, not everyone is as good as first impressions dictate." FV Error steps forward.

"Look, I dunno what you went through in your multiverse, but think of this place as a chance to turn a new leaf." A portal opens nearby, as the other Error speaks.

"I can't turn over a new leaf. Ink and Fate will be sure to track me down and drag me back to hell just so they can play their games." A gasp leaves the newly arrived skeleton, a painter with the recognizable ink stains. FV Error looks at the Ink, confusion on the latter's face.

"I've never seen this other Error in my life. I came to deliver some resources to Life." The other Error passed out upon seeing FV Ink, and FV Error picks Nova up.

"What's wrong with daddy?" FV Error looks down at Nova, before speaking honestly.

"I'm not sure. Probably a lot."
