*Line Break*
When Sprx had finally reached the med-bay, he walked in and gently placed the sleeping Gibson on a table. Seeing that he was comfortable, Sprx opened his com-link and called for Antauri.
/Antauri?/
/Yes, Sprx?/
/Could you come down to the med-bay? I need your help with something./
/Shouldn't Gibson be there to help you?/ Antauri questioned. There was a sigh on the other end.
/Gibson is the reason/ Sprx replied. There was a short pause, then…
/I'll be right there./
Sprx closed his com-link and waited for Antauri to arrive. A few seconds later, the black monkey silently floated into the med-bay and over to Sprx, but he gasped when he saw the prone form of Gibson lying on the medical berth.
"What happened Sprx?" he asked while floating over to the medicine cabinets and grabbing some medical supplies out of them then began to treat Gibson's wounds.
"Mandarin" was all Sprx said. Antauri halted his healing and stared at Sprx.
"Mandarin did this?" he asked, he started wrapping Gibson's arms in gauze.
"Yep, but I beat the crud out of him for it." Sprx replied, a smirk in his voice. Antauri gave him a disapproving look and sighed, returning to his current work, he spoke.
"Sprx, as much as I agree with you that what Mandarin has done is cruel and is in need of punishment, I highly doubt that you trying to hurt him will ease his anger towards you or Gibson." Antauri explained. Sprx stood silently for a moment watching Antauri tend to Gibson, a passive look on his face.
"Yeah, I guess you're right" Sprx huffed and crossed his arms. "Still doesn't mean he didn't deserve it."
Antauri smiled slightly at Sprx's comment. He was happy that Sprx would defend Gibson in such a way, especially since they are usually bickering with eachother. He was glad that his siblings still held a love for eachother, and of course, a strong dislike of their current leader. Antauri silently promised that when he was done tending to Gibson, he would make sure that Mandarin knew just what happens when you mess with his siblings.
A groan woke Antauri from his thoughts and he looked towards Gibson who was moving slightly on the medical table. His face scrunched up as if he were in pain.
"Gibson?" Antauri spoke his name gently as not to frighten him. He heard Gibson whimper, his eyes were still shut.
"No…" Antauri and Sprx looked at Gibson.
"Gibson?" it was Sprx who called his name this time. There was another groan as Gibson started to shift slightly.
"No, p-please, no more….no more…" Gibson whispered. Antauri and Sprx exchanged worried glances and were startled when they heard Gibson start to yell.
"N-no! No! S-stop! Please! I don't want to train anymore…leave me alone!" Gibson screamed, his body curled tightly around himself as if he was protecting his frame from being hit. Antauri and Sprx were beyond worried now. Antauri watched as Sprx tried to calm Gibson down, only to have the monkey push away from him as if he would hurt him. Then something in Antauri's mind clicked.
"Sprx, I believe that Gibson is remembering what Mandarin did to him" He said, now also trying to attempt to calm his brother down.
"Say what?" Sprx asked, once again reaching out for his frightened brother.
"Gibson is having a memory purge, a recollection of an earlier event. A nightmare." Antauri explained, "A nightmare that he may never escape from." He added with a sigh. Both monkeys could only watch helplessly as their brother fought through his horrible dream, their bodies never turning away in case the other needed help. Gibson continued to shake and whimper. Antauri watched with deep concern, while Sprx's gaze turned from worry to anger.
I am going to make that no good jerk pay for what he did. Sprx seethed in his mind. Antauri tore his gaze away from Gibson when he heard the med door suddenly open.
"Sprx?" he called, only to see the door shut again, leaving him and Gibson in the medbay.
