Chapter 3

Kai had finally woken up a few days after that one day (last chapter). Agent Carter had spoken to him about what was to be happening and explained everything. Someone from social services would meet Kai every week or so to see how things were going living with agent Carter.

So far, Agent Carter didn't seem too bad to him, she wasn't too interested in the way he acted towards others, wasn't caring enough to irritate him and she never questioned him on what had happened or anything about himself which was a relief since he really didn't want to answer.

Unfortunately, he was made to stay in hospital much longer, it was the one place he hated the most and was rather angry that he was stuck there till all his wounds healed.

---6 weeks later--- (A/N: you want that in months and weeks? One month and 2 weeks)

Today Kai was finally leaving the hospital and couldn't be happier about it. Though he was given some bad news, something he obviously couldn't avoid. He was made to go back to his grandfather's house to get his things. He really didn't want to go there but didn't object to it, he couldn't because he knew it would appear as though he was scared.

His teammates helped him out the hospital doors and Kai felt so much better to finally be out of there after so long. Agent Carter stood leaning against her cherry red convertible, her arms crossed over her chest. She looked up at the Bladebreakers as they walked over to her. She moved off her car and looked in the direction where a black car came up behind hers and the driver stepped out.

The driver happened to be agent Aaron who walked to the group of teenagers, "So are we ready to go?" he asked with a light smile.

'God knows I am!' Kai thought bitterly.

"Ok. Kai will be with me in my car and the rest of you will go with agent Aaron. We will both meet at the mansion in a few minutes." Agent Carter said, opening her car door and sitting down.

They all nodded and got into the cars drove by the agents. Kai sat in the passenger seat, his shoulder pressed against the car door and his head resting against the window glass, his eyes closed but wincing when bright light from the other cars pierced through his eyelids. Agent Carter glanced over at him a noticed his wincing, she ignored it and turned back to the finding the mansion. She pulled up in front of the large mansion, putting the car in park she stepped out and looked up at the mansion waiting for her partner's car to drive up behind hers.

In time, the black car came up behind hers and agent Aaron and the Bladebreakers stepped out and walked up to Agent Carter and Kai. "Best thing to do is to let me go in there first…to make sure everywhere is clear." Carter told them, "You sure you can go in there?" she asked Kai, turning to look at him.

"Yeah." Kai whispered, looking up at the large house that stood before him, the house of so much pain.

"Ok then. If I'm not out in ten minutes then you can come in to look for my dead body." Agent Carter said jokingly, patting agent Aaron on the shoulder as she walked past him and up the mansion stairs. She ran up the stairs and to the door, pulling out her handgun from the holster on the inside on her jacket over her black shirt under the denim jacket.

She readied the gun in her hand and pushed the door open, which was strangely unlocked, she stepped inside and pushed the door closed behind her with her back. She stepped forward, she felt a light hand on her shoulder, and she spun round and hit the person on the head with the gun, knocking the person out cold. She looked down at the body, turning the man over and see that appeared to be the butler. She sighed, moving the man closer to the wall so she didn't step on him. She pulled her cell phone out of her pocket, and dialed quickly and placed it to her ear. "Hey. Can you ask Kai about the butler?" she asked Aaron on the other line.

"He says that guy is harmless," Aaron replied, but then scrunched his face in confusion, "Why?" he asked confusedly and curiously.

Agent Carter shifted uncomfortably a little, keeping her eyes in front of her for any sign of trouble, "I accidentally knocked him unconscious." She said.

"Idiot." Aaron muttered.

"Not like you never did it." The brunette protested, her eyes suddenly caught something and her mouth dropped slightly, "I'll call you back, don't come in till I call you again." She told him, shutting her phone and putting it in her back pocket as before. She kept her gun in her hands, clutching it tightly as she walked forward ahead into the hall. She looked down at the ground, seeing crimson drops on the light wooden floors.

She kneeled down, inspecting the blood more closely, see that trails of the blood was scattered all around the corridors and the entrances to the surrounding rooms. She walked over to a door that was open ever so slightly and pushed the door open a little from the bottom, she looked inside and sighed, shutting her eyes. With another sigh she pulled her cell phone out again and called Aaron, "Get a forensics team in here ASAP." She told him, "Safest you keep the boy out of here for a while though." She added before hanging up.

She walked around the rooms, looking around and taking in a site of everything especially those tainted with the crimson blood. She already knew whom the blood belonged to; it was neither secret nor a mystery. She was surrounded by mysteries, this was just another to add to her list.

---Half an Hour Later---

Within half an hour the first story of the mansion was filled with forensic experts, each one picking up evidence from the area. Amongst these agents stood Agent Carter and Agent Aaron, Aaron who was holding a camera and talking to Carter who looked around a file. "You think it was wise letting them stay out there by themselves?" Aaron asked.

"Why not? It's only for a little while after all." Carter replied, looking through the file and scanning pages.

"Well, maybe but still it isn't safe, for Kai especially." Aaron stated.

Agent Carter smirked, putting the papers back into the file, "I never knew you were such a squealer. If you are so worried then go look after them yourself." She told him.

Agent Aaron's phone rang and he rolled his eyes, 'It's like the fifteenth time this thing has rung…today.' He thought angrily, pulling out his phone and staring at the screen.

Agent Carter's eyes suddenly softened, looking at the screen suddenly terrified look on her partner's young face, "The hospital?" she asked, her tone below a whisper.

"Yeah." The blonde whispered, still staring at the screen, "Do you mind?" he asked, holding up the camera to her.

"Not at all. Go ahead." Carter whispered, taking the camera and nodding.

"Thanks." Aaron whispered, walking off with the phone to his ear as he spoke to someone on the other line.

---20 minutes later---

Forensics where finishing up and had already started departing, leaving behind the evidence on Agent Carter's demand. She walked outside, seeing Aaron leaning against his car, his eyes cast on the Bladebreakers that all sat in Carter's car. Carter walked up to him, seeing his eyes rather sad, "They've been like that for a while now…trying to cheer him up." Aaron whispered, not looking at her.

"Go home, get some rest." Carter ordered, gently and caringly yet sternly.

"No way, I want to stay to help." Aaron replied, looking down at her with his large green eyes.

Agent Carter shook her head slowly, "You've done enough for now. Go home and get some rest, I'll see you tonight." She said.

Aaron sighed, turning and opening his car door and getting into his car and without another word, he drove off to the end of the street till he was out of Carter's sight. Carter turned round, her attention returning to the four boys seated in her car. She leaned against the car, "You guys coming, or what?" she asked.

They all rushed out of the car and each of them ran up the steps to the mansion door, Kai still not accepting help up the stairs but Carter walked behind him anyway in case something happened. They arrived at the door again and they all walked inside, all felling fear wash over them. "Go get your things, I'll wait here." Carter said.

All the Bladebreakers walked up the flight of stairs to Kai's old room to help him pack his stuff while Agent Carter walked further into the house, she walked into the kitchen looking around the room in amusement. She walked into a fancy sitting room from there and looked around the room, as she did with the kitchen, she sighed, 'Nothing else.' She thought, leaning against the wall. She pushed back and the wall opened, allowing her to fall down a shoot and onto her ass. She sat up, blowing her hair out of her face, "What the fuck was that all about?" she asked herself, her tone angry and frustrated.

She eyed the room strangely and suspiciously, looking for a source of light. She placed her hands out in front of her and fingertips came in contact with the cold stonewall, she felt around for a light switch but found none. She tried to fish around through all her pockets for a flash light or something. Finally she found her key chain that held a small camouflage torch, she turned it on and scanned the room with it. A bookshelf stood next to an oak desk that was covered with files and papers. Curiosity got the best of the young brunette and she sat at the desk, looking through some of the papers, finding bills and random letters that seemed of no interest or use to her.

She opened the drawers of the desk and looked around that too, looking for something interesting or even something that would make her laugh in the most of depressing of moments. Finally, she found something of interest to her, but nothing that made things any better, something that just scared her, terrified her even. She pulled out a batch of photos that were bound together by an elastic band. The first photo was the first she saw, the first pang of fear clutching painful at her already broken heart.

The first picture was of a young boy, Kai, huddled up in the corner on his bed, a cover being tightened and clutched around him with the boys fear and panic. Trickles of blood being printed onto the white sheet that the boy hid behind in fear, looking in pain from the cuts on him. His eyes. His eyes are what she couldn't even look at. Tears welled up in them, they held everything she feared. They held the pain, the fear of whoever was there with him, some anger with all the tears glazed over them, the wetness falling and washing over his cheeks.

She sighed, closing her eyes and holding back dread and fear. She picked up all the photos and looked through them, each one was almost the same as before only in some Kai looked far more hurt then the one before. She took the photos with her, looking for a way out of the underground room but finding no staircase.

She put the photos in the pocket on the inside of her jacket and stood at the bottom of the slide that had dropped her into that God forsaken of a room. She loosened up a little and gripped the sides of the slide and took a good grip with her feet trying to pull herself up. She was almost at the top when she tried to grip the top of the shoot, but lost her footing and missed the top and slipped back a little, stopping herself in time before she moved further down and hit the floor. She breathed a sigh and tried to pull herself up again, finally gripping the top and hoisting herself back up into the sitting room.

She rubbed her hands, trying to get the feeling back into them, "What a day." She muttered, pulling out the photos from her pocket, "But I think it was worth it." She added. She picked up all the evidence, items that had been placed into bags, the cameras and files with notes. She walked out of the house and ran down the steps to her car, gently placing all the evidence in a box for safety.

Locking her car again, she walked back up the steps and into the house, locking it behind her. She ran up the stairs and walked through the halls trying to find Kai's bedroom. She heard voices in the distance and a door was open and walked up to it, knocking lightly on the door frame, "May I come in?" she asked.

"Sure." Kai replied bluntly, rummaging through his draws and tossing cloths into a bag.

Carter walked inside, suddenly realizing that the room in the pictures was the same as the room she was just standing in. "So you all most done?" she asked, looking down at Kai who pulled something from under his bed.

Kai scrunched his face in confusion at the box, not remembering what was in it. He pulled the lid open slightly, he put up the lid and looked inside, memories all coming back to him. He suddenly remembered that everyone was watching him and he quickly shut the box again and put it into a large box that agent Aaron had brought up for him earlier.

"What was that?" Agent Carter asked curiously.

"Nothing." Kai said angrily, trying to push himself off the ground.

"Didn't look like nothing." Carter noted with a smirk.

"I said it's nothing." Kai yelled angrily.

"Fine. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the hospital bed." Carter said, retreating and ignoring the box.

"Whatever." Kai said, grabbing two of the bags and walking out of the room into the corridor.

"You're doing a great job so far." Tyson teased Carter.

"Shut up kid!" Carter hissed, walking out of the room.

Carter walked out of the mansion, seeing Kai tossing bags and boxes into the trunk of the brunette's car. She walked down the steps, arms crossed firmly across her chest as she walked up behind him, "I'm sorry." She whispered.

"Forget about it." Kai told her roughly.

Carter just nodded, "I'm going to go get the rest of your things. Wait in the car." She ordered, walking up the stairs again.

Kai sighed, walking to the car door and opening it and sitting down in the passenger seat, waiting for his team mates to come out of the hell hole he wished he didn't know as well as he did. He sat back in the seat, moving forward again when he winced because of the burnt and torn skin on his back. He rested his head in his hands when he felt a headache coming on, shutting his eyes to keep the sun light out of his eyes.

He survived. He couldn't believe he lived after all he had been through. He would have much rather have died after that. He couldn't stand the thought of having to go through it all again. He didn't want that, if he had died then he wouldn't have to deal with that all again. He knew his grandfather would be back for him. He always came back; just to try making Kai scream or cry. The sun on his head was hurting him now and he would have done anything to shield it, before he got a migraine.

As if it were a sudden miracle, he felt cool again and the sun seized shining on him. He opened his eyes and looked up, seeing agent Carter pulling the sun roof back over to keep the sun out. She opened her car door and moved her seat forward to let the other three younger bladers get to the back seat. They all got in and Carter glanced at Kai as she put on her seatbelt, "You ok?" she asked.

Kai sat back again, "Yeah, I'm fine." He whispered.

Carter didn't seem too convinced but nodded anyway. She drove away from the mansion, occasionally glancing over at Kai to make sure he was ok. They drove through many streets and finally pulled up to a large manor, she hit a button on a remote that opened the front gate. She pulled into the driveway and got out of the car and pulled back her seat to let the boys in the back seat out again.

She closed the front gate again while the others pulled all Kai's things out of the trunk. Carter took the box of evidence and walked up to her front door, unlocking it and stepping inside, holding the door open for the others and closing it behind them. "Mama's home." A little girl yelled, running down the hall way and into agent Carter.

"Hey Gwen." Carter greeted, placing the box on the floor and picking up the three-year-old girl.

"Mama, Mike wasn't feeling too well when he got home." Gwen whispered, her arms around her mother's neck.

Carter's eyes widened slightly, "He's here? I told him to go home." She said, "Where is he?" she asked.

"Lying down on the sofa." Gwen replied softly.

"You guys wait here, I'll be back in a minute." Carter told the boys, placing Gwen on the ground again, walking off, leaving Gwen to stare up at the older boys and leaving the Bladebreakers to stare down at the girl, was this little girl Carter's child? Carter was a mother? So many questions unanswered.

Agent Carter walked into the living room, looking down at Agent Aaron, "Mike, I thought I told you to go home and rest." She practically scolded.

"I wanted to stay here, besides, your place is closer I couldn't drive more so I came here. Gwen opened for me." Mike replied, sleepily, dropping his head back against a pillow again.

"Fine. Just relax here, I'll show Kai to his room." Carter told him, walking back to the door.

"Lee," Mike called, gaining her attention, "Thanks." He whispered.

Agent Lee Carter nodded and walked out of the room and back into the hall, seeing Gwen talking to the older boys still by the door, "Gwen?"

Gwen turned round and looked up at her mother with an innocent smile, "Yes mama?" she asked.

"Can you go keep an eye on Mike please, call me if something happens." Carter told her, her voice kind and gentle, like nothing the others have ever heard before, from her at least.

"Sure. Bye guys!" Gwen said, running off happily to the living room.

A/N: I know this chapter was based more around the agents but it's best find out about the agents. It shows more into their character. Next chapter you see Kai's reaction to some things, you see less of the Bladebreakers and more on Kai and how he feels. I hope to have the chapter up soon but my exams start on Wednesday and I might now be able to write as much but I'll be writing and updating all the time after exams so don't worry. Please tell me what you thought of this chapter. Bye for now!
