"Hey Jasper, do you th-", the door swung open in the middle of my sentence.
"PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR YOUR HEROINE PEOPLE." K'satri ran through the door throwing herself a mini-party.
"We don't need your drugs."
"Not that kind of heroine, the female hero kind. You should be grateful, I just got done kicking ass for you two."
Jasper clapped from the side. "I'm grateful at least."
"You see, Jasper knows how to be a proper gentlemen."
HOW COULD SHE. I am Charles the charming. Never could anyone find more gentlemen a fellow. "You're lucky you are destined to be my true love, or I'd be offended right now."
"My true love just died in a fire."
Her love is dead!?! This means I have a chance. "You know what would take your mind off him? A lovely evening with me."
Jasper gave a facepalm, and whispered something about me under his breath.
"Idiot!" K'satri gave a kick to my face, hurt her foot, and fell backwards over into a wall. Her head struck hard against the vents opening a large one near the floor.
"K'SATRI MOVE, THERE ARE STILL LEECHES IN THERE!" Shouted Jasper.
Some started to spill out onto K'satri. At that point everything seemed to go slow. I panicked, and ran in there to save her. She was stuck in tight, but I was able to get her out. Then I blacked out.
--------------------------------------
I woke in a hospital bed. Rei was sitting in a chair watching one of the three stations still airing in Magnate. The blinds were barely open, and it was either dawn or dusk by the looks of it. There was a din of noise coming from outside. Sounded like a riot.
The room was decorated blandly, with a few medical charts on the walls. It was a bit cramped. This seemed to be part of an ancient hospital.
I leaned on my left arm, and felt off balance, but ignored it. "Hey Rei, see your little furry heart must have really cared to be here when I woke up."
He looked over, he appeared more mellow than I'd ever seen him. "Hey, are you-", He cut himself off, and put on a more stern face. "I'm not a furry, and I'm only here because it was my shift to make sure your alright. I wouldn't care if you never woke up.", he seemed really half hearted compared to usual.
"What you watching furry?"
"Not a furry, and the news." He put the remote on my bed, and headed for the door. "Des says were suppose to contact her when you wake up. He opened the door, and gave a peak back at me before leaving. I heard something along the lines of, "Who is he calling a furry." , through the wall.
I laid on my side watching the news for a few minutes. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. My entire body felt numb, and stiff.
The T.V. had a news anchor on the street talking to some people. There was something about a squad at the power plants on. Probably celebrations of our accomplishments. I tried to pick up the remote, but I couldn't grab it. My arm wouldn't move, and I took a look at it. Then I tried to feel it.
All of a sudden the beeping on my heart monitor increased. It's gone. What happened to my arm.
I couldn't believe it. I kept checking. "DAMN IT, DAMN IT!" Des, 'Satri, and Seth ran into the room.
"WHERE THE HELL IS MY ARM!"
Seth came over to me. "CALM DOWN, EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT!" I grew quiet, as did everyone else. It seemed so silent even with all the background noise.
Des finally broke the silence, "You got stuck in some of the leeches trying to get K'satri out. They were able to pull you into the vents. Do you remember any of this?"
"..." I sat for a second. "Only the first part of that."
Des continued, "Jasper was able to get you out, but you sustained severe burns, and all the living tissue in your arm killed." She seemed like she was trying to act like a leader in saying this, but she obviously just wanted to sink into the background right now. "It... It had to be amputated. We can use genesis techniques to grow you a new one, but not here."
"Wait, what happened to K'satri." K'satri was standing partially out of the room peering in.
Seth looked over to her. "I know you're not shy K'satri, and he ought to know." She stepped in through the door.
The left part of her face was bandaged, as well as her left arm.
Des spoke for her. "She got 3rd degree burns on her arms, and a concussion from hitting her head. The burns can be treated."
She looked around the room. "The hospital were in right now is pretty old. All the equipment is pre-genesis age. So we can't treat you here. While we were here, Service and Magnus's diplomatic relations have completely broken down. The populous of Magnus is panicking and rioting due to this, and... due to power shortages." A look of guilt was plastered across her face. She inhaled for the final stretch of her speech. "The rioting is why were in the primitive hospital. We'd be lynched if we go out there. We have two people guarding the entrance at all time in case someone tries to come in."
I looked over at the T.V., they had a picture of us. "I guess they know what we look like."
"Yeah. Also, don't believe what Rei will be saying. He sat here longer than any of us." She gave me a smile, and left with the others. "You need your rest."
