Chapter 1: Saved
It was early morning and she was going out to check her fishing traps. As she stepped into her boat she stopped for a second and looked up the river.
A frown covered her face. She hated to think about what was hiding in the mountains there, and she was reminded every day. Even though she couldn't see the building itself she knew it was there. Waiting with the men inside to go into action, whenever their leader commanded them to.
God how she hated that man.
She pushed against the side of the river to get the boat out in the water, but nothing happened and she tried harder but still nothing.
After a few more tries she leaned over the side of the boat and she could see there was a branch stuck to her boat.
Great just what she needed.
She went to the front and reached over the side to get the branch off her boat, and she grabbed the first thing she could get her hand on.
Then she froze. That didn't feel like a branch at all. It felt more like a...
With a yelp she let go and stumbled a little backwards, as she was sure that she had just grabbed onto an arm on the branch.
Was there a dead body in the water?!
She moved a little closer again and peeked over the side of the boat.
What she saw shocked her. There in the water with the branch was a man and he didn't look like he was alive at all.
He had this weird mask on his face and he looked like he had been in the water for a long time.
Well, she probably had to check his pulse to see if he really was dead.
Slowly she reached down her hand to his neck. His skin was freezing cold against her skin as she was trying to press her fingers to his neck.
That was when his arm moved a little bit and she ripped her arm away from him.
Oh my god! He was still alive!
What was she going to do with him?! She couldn't let him freeze to death out here in the water, so she grabbed a hold of one of his arms and started to drag him and the branch away from her boat and towards the side of the river.
After a lot of work she finally got him out of the water. She got the branch of him to see if he was hurt anywhere, and that was when she saw what looked to be a gunshot wound in one of his legs. The mask he was wearing seemed to be broken a little bit, but other than that he seemed fine.
She inspected the wound in his leg a little and it didn't look like it had been treated at all.
Crap that meant she had to get him back to her house to get a closer look at the wound.
After about an hour she finally got to her house. Man this guy was really heavy, but she hadn't really expected anything else, since just by looking at him she could tell that his body was huge.
She was just glad that she had kept doing the training her dad had made her do all those years ago. Otherwise she would have been stuck with a half dead guy down by the river.
When she finally got him inside she put him down on the floor, and went to get the fire started so she could warm him up.
After the fire got going she turned to the man on the floor. She had to get him into some dry clothes but she didn't know if she had anything that could fit him. Maybe there was something in her dad's old closet that she could use.
She went to the back room that used to be her dad's room, and for a moment she hesitated to open the door. It had been such a long time since she had been in there, and she knew it would only remind her of all the things she and her dad had together.
The sound of somebody moving around in the other room got her out of her thoughts, and she pressed down the door handle and went inside. She didn't get herself time to look around and went straight to the closet. When she opened the closet she got some sweatpants, an oversized shirt and a thick blanket. After that she hurried out of the room and slammed the door shut and went to the bathroom to quickly grab a towel.
The man had turned himself unto his side, and it sounded like he had trouble breathing. She went in front of him and she could see he was trying to get away from her. What the heck had happened to him?! He seemed lost and panicked, but at the same time he seemed ready to fight her should she try anything.
Kneeling down in front of the man she looked into his eyes, and she could see all the pain he was in. She had to give him some pain meds soon, but first she needed to get him out of his wet clothes. Reaching out a hand she grabbed his shirt and started to move it of him. As soon as she touched him he tried to get away and his hand moved to grab her hand.
"It's alright. I'm only trying to help you and to do that I need to get you out of these wet clothes" she said as she looked into his hard pain filled eyes.
He looked at her for a moment and then he seemed to relax a little. She moved his shirt up over his stomach, and after some time and hard work she got it of him. Next she dried him of and put the blanket around his upper body to keep him warm.
She moved her hand down to get his pants off him and she only hoped, that he was not one of these men that wouldn't wear underwear. Since that would be a little awkward for both him and her, but luckily he had underwear on.
As she dried him of with the towel she inspected the gunshot wound more. It seemed that the bullet had gone straight through his thigh and out on the other side.
The wound itself looked like it needed a very good clean up, and he would probably get an infection if she didn't clean it up now. She went back to the bathroom and got out the first aid kit and got out some disinfection for the wound.
"Sorry but this is probably going to hurt you for a little bit" she said to the man as she started to clean up the wound.
He moved a little bit when she put the disinfection into the wound, but other than that he didn't move an inch. She wondered if he was even aware of what was going on.
After the cleaning she bandaged the wound and got the pants and shirt on him. They seemed a little tight on him but they would do for now.
She got out another blanket and put it on the couch in front of the fire. The man didn't seem to react much when she moved him onto the couch.
In some way he reminded her of somebody but she didn't know who. Maybe it was one of her dad's former patients.
His breathing was still sounding weird and he still seemed to be in a lot of pain.
She knew she had to remove his mask to give him the pain killer, but she was a little afraid to get close to him. But she didn't have any choice if she wanted to get his pain to go away.
So she moved closer to him and started to look at the mask, and she found out that she could loosen it on the back his head. When she loosened the mask she could see the look of panic in his eyes.
"It's okay I'm only going the give you some sleeping meds and pain killer to help your body rest" she said as she took the mask of his face.
What she saw under the mask shocked her.
His face had a long scar on one side of his face, it went from his ear down to his bottom lip. Then her eyes went to his nose where there was a small scar and she could see it had been broken once.
For a moment she forgot about the sleeping meds and pain killer, and it was only when he looked at her for a moment that she seemed to snap out of it.
She quickly gave him the meds and she watch as he swallowed them, and after a few minutes he was out.
This was just impossible it couldn't be him. He was the one who had saved his child. How could he throw him out like this?!
She had only seen him one or two times when she had helped her dad, but she was almost positive that the man lying before her was Bane.
That's it for now :) I hope you guys like it so far and I apologies for the bad gramma and spelling. Please let me know what you guys think of this so far :)
