Just a small piece I thought up.

This is based in Legend of Heroes - Trails in the Sky (Second Chapter) After Renne + Pater-Mater are defeated by Estelle/Joshua/Agate/Tita.

Renne had never been in this position before.

She didn't know whether to hide or to run.

She knew she was powerless, heck, even her machine - Pater-Mater wasn't fully operational! He couldn't even stand!

Renne felt her purple hair fall in front of her face as she fell to her knees, in front of said Goliath.

Renne couldn't help it but she felt tears start to form in her eyes. It hurt. Her pride was hurt and she was damaged.

"Renne."

Renne lowered her gaze to the floor, then looked to her right, spotting the boots of Estelle in front of her a few feet away.

"What... Do you want?" She muttered.

Estelle was about to step forwards but Tita beat her too it. The blonde haired genius marched past Estelle and without any further warning had put her hands on Renne's head.

Renne blinked. Someone was actually... What was... What was Tita trying to do?

Tita began to rub Renne's scalp and then her hair as she pulled the Purple haired girl into a warm-ish embrace. Well, as much as she could anyway.

"I don't know about you. But I can't stand to see you like this, Renne. I know Estelle feels the same. You, being in a society where... Your choice was taken from you... Possibly at an early age. I don't know about you, but I am NOT happy to leave you like this!"

Renne felt her breath hitch as she felt the warm sensation flow through her body, turning her originally ice cold exterior... Well, it was warming it - Similar to how an ice cube would melt.

"Cry."

Renne blinked and looked up, seeing Tita's Blue eyes looking down onto her Golden ones. "...Huh?"

Tita leaned down onto her knees and stared at Renne in the eye. Every, second, that Tita stared - The closer Renne felt to tears. Tita's warm smile... Her gentle hold... Her calm exterior...

Estelle was right behind Tita and Joshua was next to Estelle. Agate keeping an eye on Pater-Mater and Renne. Partially on Renne to make sure she didn't try anything, but partly on Pater-Mater, to make sure he/it didn't try anything funny.

"You heard me."

Renne almost couldn't breath as Tita rose her head slightly and hugged Renne close to her. Renne started to shake slightly. She was unsure whether she should kill Tita, murder them all while they had their defenses down or... Her brain started to go completely fuzzy. It hurt. It was numbing yet... Unsettling.

"Tita-"

Tita rubbed the back of the Angel of Slaughter, humming. "-Say nothing Renne. I don't know how much the society has hurt you, or anything of your past, but I know that deep down... You can't possibly want to hurt as many people as you have. Your reputation as an Enforcer has already seen to that. However, maybe... Maybe you can turn that around?"

Pater-Mater made some noises which Agate didn't recognise but Joshua seemed to.

"That's right Pater-Mater, she could." Joshua kneeled on one knee in front of Renne and Tita. "How about it Renne? Why don't you think about coming with us? Maybe... Maybe you could be a legendary pe-"

Estelle cut him off. "-You could do so much Renne. We could help you in any and all aspects... Including those of..."

Tita caught on within moments. "-Family."

Renne felt herself start to tear up even further as she then began to clutch Tita tightly. She was now feeling the force of emotions from so long ago that... It hurt her inner core. It echoed throughout her shattered and damaged mind to the point she started to cry. "I... I..." She whimpered as she honestly felt... Trapped yet free. Free to spill her emotions at long last.

Joshua placed a hand on Renne's left shoulder just as Renne's left hand had gone slightly away from her body, as though she was about to summon her sythe again. "Renne."

Renne couldn't do anything, she couldn't fight, she couldn't talk... She could only cry. She was almost helpless... It felt so sad to her that... It almost felt like it did back in...Crossbell.

Just as she thought of the city's name, and all the memories that came with it - From her fractured memories, she fell into Tita's hold - Passed out.

Tita slowly leaned Renne to her knees as she readjusted herself so Renne was resting on Tita's lap. Joshua, removing his hand from Renne's shoulder as Tita did so. "Renne. We all know how hard it's been for you. Don't worry, we're not going anywhere."

Estelle looked to Pater-Mater. "If you can help Renne, take her to the town of Rolent. We won't be long here."

Pater-Mater made some noises again and Joshua nodded. "I think Tita should go with her. To make sure she'll be okay."

Estelle nodded. "Alright." She looked at her orbment watch. "Professor, send Julia and Kloe up here. We'll need help with the last door, most likely."

"What about my grand-daughter?" Came the response.

Tita cleared her throat as she stroked Renne's hair. "I'm going to go with Renne back to Rolent, don't worry grandpa, she's on our side now."

"I sure hope you're right about that Tita." Both the Professor and Agate's words sounding at the same time.

Could be made into more, but for the moment, this is where I put either a TBC or a one-shot finish here. Unsure of which one.
