Chapter 7: Recovery
(Sorry about the length of last chapter, i'm getting back into the habit of writing again guys :D so any critique is welcome :D )
Riven rushed over to the ragdoll of Talon. She pulled the pink ribbon off of her leg in a panic and reached over to Talon's right arm and tied a tourniquet around the artery poking out. As she tied away, she began thinking why she was helping him.
"This man was my target, my captive, my controller for awhile…..
Why am I saving him only now when freedom is right there? I could be out the door and traveling to ionia rather than saving my captor." Another 'voice' popped into her head saying
"This man isn't just a captor to you is he? He isn't just a friend or a target. He's grown on you"
"No…. No he hasn't, he held me hostage, brought me into many difficult situations, and put this, SUIT thing on me, i don't really mind it but, i would've like to make a few custom- never mind that, the whole point is, what's he done for me?"
"He JUST saved you, and he's cared for you this whole time you know, it's time to care back."
"Cared? well, er, kinda, i guess.."
"Go, take him to viktor, he can give Talon a stronger arm, that looks just human, but mechanical on the inside, go now"
"You're right, i'm going"
"One more thing….. Keep the bunny suit ;)" The voice said sarcastically.
"Oh boy, men these days,and is that all you do in my mind?" Riven thought embarrassedly.
"It's a possibility, but for now, go"
Riven picked Talon up and proceeded down a hallway higher in the room they were just fighting in. She trotted down the hallway with this carcass until she finally came to a window. She looked down from a frightening height. She gazed down at a sea of people walking to their separate destinations. She gazed at the building in front of her and examined it up and down. The brick structure looked like it'd hurt quite a bit to jump down. Then she spotted a window about 10 feet down from where she was. But she questioned herself…. The space between the two structures was about 2 sword lengths (of her fully extended sword) and 10 feet down.
"Sorry Talon" Riven said as she heaved him backwards. Then she hurled Talon down 10 feet and through the window. The glass crashed and the Talon's body hit the floor of what appeared to be an inn's hallway. "OOooooooh" Riven cringed. Now she had to make an escape. She turned around to see several high ranked officials running towards the window. She didn't have much time, so she went for it. She leapt over the chasm of the buildings landing on the edge of the window. She hopped down by Talon and picked him up again and headed into a room she opened burst through the door and dumped Talon on the bed. She ran back over to the door, shut it and locked it. Then she ran over to the desk and grabbed the chair to prop up against the door. She did all of this while Talon layed at the feet of a very familiar champion from the league.
Riven turned around and saw the female sitting up in the bed with Talon resting on her legs. It was… caitlyn? Riven's jaw dropped.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Riven yelled at Caitlyn.
"I should be asking you that!" Caitlyn screamed back.
"Well! Uh, we just need somewhere for, maybe a day or two! wait, his arm's gone, right, okay we need help!"
Caitlyn looked down at the dismembered Talon and stared.
"I need you to take me to Viktor, i know he's somewhere in the city" Riven pleaded.
"um, alright, but may i ask why his arm is gone?"
"I can tell you later, we need him helped right now."
"Well i know where he is right now, he's at the hospital, he's the head of artificial limbs"
"Can you get us there?"
"Yeah come on" Cait remarked as she leapt off her bed to the closet. She threw on her police uniform and motioned for Riven to come along. As Riven was picking Talon up, he started to wake up. She picked him up and he perked his head up. He saw Riven's face and a strange room similar to the one he had captured her in earlier. He looked over at Caitlyn who was sitting there in her rather revealing police uniform.
"Woa" Talon remarked as Caitlyn started to blush. Riven seeming a bit jealous just brought her elbow back down on his forehead in the same spot from when she captured him. As usual, it knocked him out cold. Caitlyn gave an approving look to Riven as the two proceeded out the door and through the in to the main entrance. They walked outside and called for one of Heimerdinger's little 'cars' He called them. They got in and started heading to the hospital.
"So you two are…. a thing now? or am i missing something?" Caitlyn asked.
Riven blushed. "Well uh, he hasn't said anything of the sort, or done much, other than put this suit on me…"
Caitlyn laughed "Well, it does fit you quite well, i can see you getting whatever you'd like with that outfit around here"
"Same to you Cait" Riven bantered back.
"Well he doesn't necessarily have bad taste, you're a good looking woman"
"I guess, I've just been alone for a long time, and no one's ever really, been this way"
"Yeah i can understand that." Caitlyn said.
"Yeah…" Riven dragged on.
"Has he..… er, tried anything with you?"
Riven blushed intensely hard. Before she could answer the car driver told them
"We've arrived, thank you for taking Heimy's car service"
The two got out of the car and headed to the front desk of the hospital.
Caitlyn demanded Viktor and his assistant for an emergency. The nurse at the desk nodded and took them upstairs right away. They burst into Viktor's work station and layed Talon down on the table.
"Viktor, we need a new right arm, stat"
Viktor chuckled. "And how did this come about?"
"He got it chopped off by a big axed brute" Riven replied.
"Ah, the dunkmaster himself. I'm going to have to ask you to leave now so i can create this arm for him 'really quick'" Viktor replied back.
Caitlyn and Riven left the room.
"Shen. Akali. Come, we have an arm to build" Viktor spoke to himself it seemed like.
Hours passed that day, Caitlyn and Riven just sat outside in the waiting room. Once the Time came, Talon walked out with what looked like a normal arm.
"Talon!" Riven jumped up with a gleeful face, ran to him and gave him a huge hug.
Caitlyn giggled at the sight of the two.
"Where's my blade? That one's my favorite.
Riven motioned to Caitlyn, as she held up the black bag they had when tensions were still high between each other. Talon gave a smile.
"HAH , you do smile!" Riven rubbed it in his face.
"Yeah yeah yeah" Talon lost the smile immediately
"So uh" Caitlyn said curiously "Are you sure there's nothing going on?" As she motioned to the two who were still hugging.
"Uhhhh what?" Talon said with his face starting to turn red.
"Yeah, what?" Riven echoed.
Caitlyn gave a stare.
Awhile later, the three headed back to the inn that they had crashed into earlier and started talking.
"So today was a bit interesting eh?" Talon said with an exhausted but shaken breath.
"Yeah, for you? I had to run you down a hall and throw you from the window, then carry you some more."
"Did you get your arm chopped off? I don't think you did, but in all seriousness, thanks for the save, I owe you one."
"Yeah, but uh, you only got your arm chopped off for me…" Riven said gratefully.
"Yeah, I'm kinda the knight in shining armor here, ya know, you're welcome" Talon winked at Riven.
Riven gave a huge blush.
"Ohhhhh so that's what happened here now huh?" Caitlyn glanced over at the now red faced Riven.
"Maybe, uhh, just a bit, uh yeah" Riven turned bright red.
"I can handle myself you know, he didn't have to save me" Riven snapped back.
"I didn't have to" Talon said.
"Then why did you?" Asked caitlyn
"U-uhh" Talon chuckled a bit.
"I'm tired, uhh, time for bed? yeah, yeah, it's time for bed" Talon stammered as he jumped over to one of the two beds. Caitlyn and Riven eyed each other with a smile on each of their faces.
"He's hiding something" Caitlyn whispered to Riven.
"I think i could tell." Riven whispered back.
Now there was the problem at hand. 2 beds, 3 people.
"I have an Idea, Ill be in this bed, and you go with Talon and see if he tries anything" Riven whispered to Caitlyn.
"Ummm, alright" Caitlyn replied with a nod.
Caitlyn proceeded over to the bed and crawled under the sheets. Only to see Talons face with the most dumb expression dawned on it. Caitlyn froze and broke out in laughter.
"Oh, you're not Riven, well hai" Talon chuckled.
"You were expecting her?"
"Kinda, i mean, the sheriff of piltover residing in Noxus? i thought you'd just leave us." Talon said lightly.
"Well I didn't, and I think I'm going to be here for awhile."
"Oh, Alrighty" Talon remarked while still under the sheets with Caitlyn.
Riven just sat there staring at the bed with the two under the sheets.
"Oh and if you're gonna do something, just make sure you two keep it down" Caitlyn gave a wink.
Talon went wide eyed and got a nervous look on his face.
"Well, uhhh" Talon mumbled.
"Go get er'!" Caitlyn gave a light tap on his shoulder and crawled out of the sheets to see Riven intently sitting there listening. Talon emerged from his cave of sheets ever so slowly with the same buck toothed expression on his face and stared directly at Riven. She laughed as soon as she saw his expression. Talon went back to normal and said mockingly "So you do laugh huh?" .
"Maybe I do" Riven played back.
"Are you cold?" Talon randomly asked. Caitlyn's head popped up and she responded with
"Yep I am".
"Oh, alright" Talon chuckled then said "Get over here" as he motioned his hand towards him. Caitlyn smiled and hopped over to the bed.
"Hold on, why are you cold?" Talon asked.
"Look at what I'm wearing, that's why"
Talon looked at Caitlyn's outfit and saw why. She was hardly wearing anything except for the short skirt, hat, and short police shirt.
"Alright, good point" Talon said kind of embarrassed Caitlyn snuggled up next to Talon who was laying on his side. Riven got a look of jealousy on her face as Caitlyn cuddled up next to Talon.
"No fair" Riven pouted.
"You wanna come too?" Talon taunted.
"Well, yeah!" Riven told him.
"You were the one i originally thought would come, so yes, come here" Talon told her.
Riven jumped up to the other side of Talon and snuggled up as well. For now all was well inside of the inn.
