Cue Weird title name
I think this was the chapter that took the longest cause it was so difficult to figure out how I would make the whole interaction less awkward but I think it was inevitable. Capture scenes are hard, but I think I somewhat transitioned into nice dialogue. Turns out it was almost as big as the third chapter.
Everything was blurry and out of focus. Miscellaneous items in the room would sway in and out of vision as his head bobbed around. He noticed two people walking around him making remarks as he extended his left arm to get the attention of one of the blurry figures a wave of pain crashed over Jasynne's side. His arm hit the side of the bed as it fell a scream of agony ripped through the small room.
"He's conscious again Eliza. What do you need me to do?" A turian stood above the slightly smaller quarian wringing his hands trying to figure out how to work around the suit. "I am not sure if he is bleeding anymore?" An asari came into view on Jasynne's left side as he rolled his head around in confusion. She was holding a large needle, scalpel, and a small amount of medigel.
"Roll him over on his side quickly, I need to get at that tear the vorcha made. Is Gat done getting the plate from the other male quarian the thugs killed? We will need it in just a moment when I open him up." Jasynne's was slowly drifting off until he heard the asari. He immediately started thrashing around hoping by some small miracle he could escape these psycho's trying to open him up. "Restrain him Taurus!" The asari looked down at Jasynne as he stared in restrained horror. "Calm down you're going to make it worse. I need to remove your left suit plate."
In a swift jab to the turian's nose and mandibles Jasynne was off the bed heading for the door when a female turian walked carrying a chunk of metal. "No you don't." The female turian said as she headbutted the quarian.
"Gat did you have to headbutt him?" The male turian said through his bloody nose.
Hours later the quarian jolts upwards in the bed as a pounding noise is made in the distance. He looks to the turian who is now relaxed on a couch close by. Jasynne grabbed his side as he noticed he was now wearing a white side plate that clashed with the black and crimson of his suit. "What did you do to me?" He kept going back to check that it was really there. 'Was this really Peetar's plate' he thought in horror.
The turian quickly stood up trying to be caring but at the same time cautious as he walked towards the damaged quarian. "We decided that it would be better that you live then both of you being dead so we did what we could. Turns out you resisted an infection though. You'll make it, which is good for your sake and the sake of your mate out there in the other room." the turian pointed towards a rust color door at the front of the room.
"My mate what are... the other quarian? No were not mated, I barely know her." Jasynne's eyes darted around as he looked for the other two that were surrounding him before.
"That's alright I just figured... Well I am not sure what a quarian relationship looks like." The turian looked down at his smg that was resting lazily in his hands. He threw it onto the sofa next to him and looked back at the quarian. "You don't seem as hostile as you should be right now?"
"Its cause I'm chained up." Jasynne held up his handcuffed hand as he struggled out a laugh. A tremor of pain lurched around in his side as he coughed. "Your obviously not here to kill me or I'd be dead. So why am I here?" The female turian and the asari briskly walked into the room as jasynnes sentence died out.
"Were here to help I guess." the turian scratched the back of his head as the two others looked on in amazement.
"Idiot! You dropped your weapon." the female turian shoved at the other as he shrugged.
"I didn't think it was required for a chained up quarian" The male turian picked up his smg and holstered it on the side of his armor.
"Are you going to tell me who you are or just argue." Jasynne felt a bit like he was being held captive by a group of pyjaks as he lowered his head still feeling the pain that the numbing hadn't taken away yet.
"Ah yes, I suppose introductions are in order." the asari stepped forward releasing Jasynne's hand from the cuffs. Jasynne rubbed at his hand where it had been cuffed "Can't be very friendly with handcuffs now can we." the female turian laughed at what the asari said causing everyone to avert their attention to her with skeptical eyes.
"It's Gat, and don't get us killed" Jasynne blinked at the turian who had a dead stare locked on him. "It's enough we have to risk our hides to save you from the multiple vorcha that were ready to pick your corpses clean but now Guy wants to let you join us. Just fucking great."
The male turian pushed past Gat who was still staring at the confused and terrified quarian who was still sitting on the bed; now in a more alerted position. "I'm Taurus, the resident biotic baddass. If what you did to that vorcha is any indication of your training I'd be glad to fight with you." Jasynne put his head in his hands trying to figure out what they were all talking about.
The female asari cleared her throat causing the two turians to turn to her, "Don't mind them dear, their just being average turians. Guy the one who organizes us will explain it all when he gets back just take a while to adjust to your surroundings. If you need anything the names Eliza, and I'll be looking after your friend in the other room." the asari quickly removed herself while the female turian stood strong by the door.
"Can I see my friend, the quarian. Her names Shea, I have to make sure she's ok." Jasynne panicked when he realized that she just lost her best friend and may still be terrified. He tried standing and walking to the door but his side was still to numb, and he fell onto the side of the sofa. "Shit!" Taurus stood up in an instance to help Jasynne. He put a hand on his his shoulder and one on his back to support him as he sat him on the couch and fell down next to him.
"Shea will make it, but you need to take it easy or you'll tear your side open again. The medigel works fast but not that fast for such a extensive wound." The turian looked at the quarian as he examined his suit. "What were you doing in that part of town? Your lucky their was only three of them when you got there." Gat Scoffed and left the room mumbling under her breath.
"It was my new neighborhood. I just recently got here on my pilgrimage and I decided to follow the other quarians thinking we could help each other. We were actually heading to our apartment." Jasynne sat fiddling with his thumbs as he talked trying to be as clear and concise as he could be. He wanted to help answer any questions these people had, because it was the least he could do after they saved him.
'Were did our stuff go' Jasynne thought quickly turning to Taurus who had a wide enough shoulder span to take up half of the sofa."Did we have any valuables on us?"
Taurus nodded happily and walked over to a box that was lying on a table. He grabbed it and handed over to Jasynne. "Sorry but the bag was covered in vorcha blood, we figured it was the stuff that mattered anyways." Taurus stood leaning up against the wall as Jasynne looked through the stuff finally finding the box that was left for him in his fathers home. "If Rannoch is the quarians then why don't you move back there, why still do the pilgrimage and go through the trouble of staying on your ships?"
Jasynne answered matter-of-factually as he set the box aside and continued to look through his belongings. "You're right when you say Rannoch is our home again, but for some they don't see it that way." Taurus nodded and sat down again by the quarian who was still invested in his possessions. "It didn't take long for quarians to get sick while they were on Rannoch. So we had to retreat back to our ships and create a cure. Something similar to the genophage in its method of release but in a way that positively effects the immune system of all those affected. It didn't feel right to just build sealed homes on our planet. A lot of the quarians won't return unless they get to walk around without the suits like their ancestors did." Jasynne set the box of his possessions down and placed the small box Valle gave him in his lap as he relaxed on the.
"You seem to know a lot of the specifics?" The turian asked.
"My father was working on it. Lets just say he couldn't help but bring his work home with him."
"It makes sense though, I wouldn't want to return home unless it felt right. Spirits, I wouldn't want to be anywhere unless it felt right." Taurus nodded and stared up at the ceiling resting his head on the back of the sofa. "I'm glad we found you when we did. I hate to repeat myself but..." Taurus rolled his head to look at Jasynne who was now sleeping next to him. He laughed and closed his eyes. 'Hope he sticks around,' Taurus thought as he drifted off.
