Summery: Susan lends a hand to Dr. Cockroach PhD

It wasn't that her mode of transportation was not comfortable, Susan Murphy just found that she could not sleep. Something was troubling her and she was not sure what. She rolled over at one point while they were crossing the ocean and frowned as she saw him curled up in a fetal position shivering violently. B.O.B. didn't feel temperature, Link was used to the cold, Insecto had a thick layer of fur, she had her own layer of defense but Dr. Cockroach had nothing.

Susan reached out, her fingers shaking slightly as she ran them over the cranium containing the smartest mind in the world before cupping him gently in her palm. He opened one eye at the change of positioning, looked around at his new makeshift bed and glanced up at her, a small tired smile forming over his lips as he kissed the tip of her thumb.

"Your heart is as big as you are my dear Susan," he said and curled up once again, his tiny frame no longer assaulted by tremors. In moments he was asleep; still, except for the occasional twitch of an antennae.

And for the first time that night, Susan felt at peace.
