Artificial Countryhuman Part 2

She walked back up to the table and stood in front of UN, she placed something on the table and slid it over to him.  It was an SD card, the entity looked up to her in confusion and a silent message passed between them.  Without saying a word, UN stood up, grabbed a laptop behind him, and put the card in, Zalia snatching his remote and turning the projector on.

"Mis. Zalia," UN said, "before I play this, can you at least tell us what it is?"

"Gladly," she agreed, "this is a series of video documentations that Edward Harrison recorded, videos recording several experiments conducted on Adira."

Poldara gasped, he knew about those videos, and the horrors they held, "Zalia what are you doing, we can't show them those, they are-"

"The only chance Adira's got to stay alive," Zalia interrupted, "if you don't want to watch them again then go wait outside, I'll bring you back in when it's finished."

Poldara opened his mouth to protest but NATO was the one who stopped him, "as much as I hate to say it, she's right, we can't make a fair judgment without all the evidence.  You are welcome to take Adira and wait outside, we'll call you back in when we're ready to give a verdict."

The other full-time entities nodded in agreement so Poldara knew there was no point in arguing, so he sighed and said, "well, in that case, I wish you all luck in making it through all of them, there are twenty videos on that card I and I haven't even made it past number three, most of my agents faint at four and no one has made it past ten, so good luck."

Poldara turned and walked towards the door, nervous murmurs could be heard but he didn't look back, they were about to see the suffering Adira had been put through in the highest definition a handheld camera could record, and he hoped they felt every ounce of pain she did.

About an hour later, Poldara was in a nearby waiting room that had a bunch of kid toys in it, he was helping Adira with the toy that had the shape blocks go in the same shaped holes when Zalia came to bring them back to the meeting room.

"I think it's going well," she declared as they walked, "we managed to get through twelve videos before UN decided we had enough evidence, I think that's a new record."

"I don't care about a record, Zal," Poldara said, "I care about Adira, if they made it through twelve videos then they must not have been affected by them, right?"

Zalia smiled as they stood in front of the door, "you'd be surprised," was all she said when she opened the door.

The first thing Poldara noticed was there were fewer countries in the room, both in-person and face-timing.  The second thing he noticed was the looks of horror, disgust, and sadness on the remaining people's faces, even the ones who were shouting at him earlier seemed at a loss for words.

"Poldara," UN said, though his voice sounded disturbed and like he would throw up at any second, "on behalf of everyone here and who was here previously, I want to apologize for misjudging Adira."

"Um, where is everyone else," the special entity asked, he had a guess but he wanted to make sure before jumping to conclusions.

"Recuperating after what we all witnessed," EU answered, sharing the same expression as his father, "I also speak for everyone when I say that we have never seen such inhumane actions before."

"I don't think anyone here will be able to sleep tonight," America piped up, several countries nodding in agreement.

"And on that note," UN said, "Poldara it is by unanimous decision, of the present full-time entities and countries, that you be officially granted guardianship of Adira."

Poldara blinked in shock, "really?"

"Yes, from here onward Adira is your responsibility, she is also under the protection of the United Nations, no one will harm her or else face international charges."

"Adira, you hear that," Poldara said excitedly, hugging the child tightly, "you get to stay with me, honey, and I promise to give you the best life possible."

"Dadda," Adira gurgled, also hugging him tightly.

Poldara felt his heart melt at the word she used, he started tearing up from it, "yes baby, I'm your dadda, I love you so much honey, so much."

This had to be the best day in his life, that morning he entered that meeting room a special entity, now he was leaving it the father of a little girl who needed him most.  As he left with his fathers, uncles, aunt, and cousins, he was soo incredibly happy that one more member was added to their big, happy family.

The End

(For real this time, thank you all for reading Adira's story, I loved writing about her and I hope you loved reading her sad backstory, but fear not, she is definitely going to get the life she deserves.  Thanks again, and see you in the next one)
