Chapter 7: Torture, Rescue, and a Decision
Lucy
I sit against the wall in defeat. Jordan was taken by the white fang again and there was nothing I could do. I sat there for I don't know how long until Nicole and Gia show up.
"There you are Lucy. What happened?" Asks Nicole. I just sit there and don't respond.
"Wait a minute. Where's Jordan?" asks Gia and I breakdown. She comes over and holds me till I calm down.
"They took him." I say just above a whisper.
"Who took him Lucy?"
"The white fang." We all just sit there and let it sink in. Nicole looks down the alley and goes to grab something. When she comes back she has Jordan's revolvers in her hand. I take them from her and look at them. I get a determined look on my face and stand up. "We're gonna save him."
"Okay. I know we should but think rationally for a second. He could be anywhere and being guarded by a bunch of people." Says Nicole.
"I don't care! He would do the same for us."
"Then how about we tell Ozpin and form a plan Instead on going on a suicide run."
I think about it and after some debating I agree and we hurry back to beacon. Stay alive Jordan. We're coming.
Me
I breath heavily after getting beaten for hours on end. I slump over and spit out some blood.
"This isn't fun anymore. He won't scream." Says one of the white fang members.
"Then I guess we should take it up a notch." Says another as the door opens. I look up and see them wheel in a rivet gun, monkey wrench, a bucket of water with a rag and… A car battery with jumper cables. One of the white fang members grabs the monkey wrench. He looks at me and smiles. Another one goes behind me and holds my head up. The one with the wrench comes over and slams it into my right knee shattering the bone. I scream out in pain and they laugh. He tosses the wrench aside and grabs the rivet gun next. He walks over to the side of me and shoots burning hot rivets into my right arm while all I can do is scream in pain.
Meanwhile with Lucy
After explaining what happened to Jordan, Ozpin found out his location from Jordan's scroll. Me and the rest of the team went out without waiting for what Ozpin had to say. We went to the location and see two guards at the door. I take out Yin and Yang and put them in bow form. I fired two arrows made of darkness and took down the guards. We go up and go into the compound. We see a bunch of doors down three hallways.
"Okay. We have to split up and find him. Nicole, You go right. Gia, Left. I'll take the middle." They nod and we go our separate ways. I go down the hall looking in every room I pass but couldn't find him. That's when I heard screaming. I ran down the hall towards where the screaming was coming from.
Me
My chair gets flipped so I'm on my back and the rag goes over my face. As soon as it's over my face I feel water start to get poured on my face. I couldn't breathe and kept swallowing water. The rag gets taken off and I cough up a bunch of water. They flip my chair back up and my head if forced back up. I see one of the members grab the jumper cables and spark them together. I try to squirm free but can't at all. He gets closer and plants them on my chest. I feel all the volts go through me and I tense up and scream. He takes them off and I slump over. I forced back up and he sparks them together again. By now I was so dazed I couldn't see straight. All I see is blurs of my torturers. Before he can shock me again, I hear the door get kicked in. I see the one with the jumper cables fall to the ground and soon nothing is holding my head up. I slump over and hear another thump of a body hitting the floor. I feel my wrist get untied and I fall off the chair. I hear my name get called but I felt so heavy. I feel myself get lifted off the ground and pass out instantly.
Lucy
After taking out the guys torturing Jordan I untied his hands. He falls to the ground and doesn't move at all. "Jordan! Jordan stay with me!" I lift him off the ground and tell the others I found him with my semblance. I stumble out the door while trying to hold Jordan up but I have difficulties. The others see me and run over to help me out. Nicole grabs his other arm while Gia covers us. We manage to get outside the facility and lay Jordan down on the ground.
"Is he alright?" asks Nicole.
"I don't know. When I found him they were torturing him. When I untied him he fell to the ground and didn't get up." Just then an airship appears. The door opens to reveal Ozpin, Goodwitch and team RWBY. Ozpin and Goodwitch rush up to us. Goodwitch leans down and checks for a pulse.
"He has a pulse but it's faint. We have to get him to a hospital now." She says and we get him inside the airship.
We arrive at the hospital and once the nurse sees Jordan she rushes over to us. "What happened to him?"
"We rescued him from a white fang stronghold." I said with panic in my voice. We lay him on a gurney and a doctor rushes him to an operation room. We couldn't follow and had to wait outside until the doctors were finished.
Hours passed until the doctor finally came out. "I have good news and bad news." He said. "The good news is we managed to save him." I breathe a sigh of relief. "The bad news is he's in a coma and we don't know when or even if he will come out of it."
"Is it alright if we see him?" I ask with my head down. The doctor nods and I walk into the room he was put in. When I enter I see his knee wrapped, His entire arm bandaged, stiches all over his body, and his side bandaged up. I sit down in a chair next to his bed. The others come in and I hear Nicole and Gia gasp at his condition. They come over and sit next to me. We all sit there and stare at him, Hoping he would wake up if we did. I feel a hand on my shoulder and see Ozpin.
"I'm gonna excuse you guys from class. You don't have to worry. He's tough. I'm sure he'll pull through." I nod and him and Goodwitch leave. Please wake up Jordan.
My mind
I look around and see I'm in between a black and white scene. "Well fuck." I say and my eyes go wide. "I can talk!" I say raising my hands in the air.
"Of course you can talk." I hear behind me. I turn around and my eyes go wide.
"Hopper?" I say as I stare at the man before me. He was Bald, white, and had green blue eyes. He had a light brown goatee and wore all white.
"Good to see you too J."
"But how?"
"Apparently we all share the same afterlife. But that's not why I'm here."
"Then why are you here?"
"To give you a choice. You can come with me to the afterlife and never feel pain or have to fight again. Or you can go back to your team. To influence this I'll let you listen to what Lucy wanted to say to you when you were alone." We get teleported to the room where my body and Lucy are. Gia and Nicole left a while ago apparently.
"This feels so weird."
"What? Looking at your body?"
"Like this yeah."
"Well listen to what she has to say." We listen in as Lucy starts to talk.
"Please wake up Jordan. I don't think I can lose you. You mean everything to me. What I was trying to tell you back before the explosion was that I love you. I love you so much and I don't want to lose you. So please come back to us." She says as she crys into my chest.
"Well… Didn't see that coming."
"That's because you're so dense." Hop says.
"Hey!" I say and he just laughs. "Well I wouldn't expect someone to confess as soon as I'm in a coma."
"Actually you've been in the coma for 3 days now."
"Wow. Time flies when you're dead."
"I know." We get teleported back to the black and white room and Hop looks at me. "So what do you choose J?"
I think about it and come to my final decision. "Take me back with you." He reaches out for me and I back away. He looks confused and I continue. "When the times right." He smiles at me and I head into the darkness. As I walk I notice pain coming back to me. I fall to my knees and black out.
I wake up to something heavy on my chest. I look down and see Lucy passed out. I smile a bit and raise my left arm. I place it on her head and rub gently. She stirs a bit then opens her eyes. She looks up and her eyes go wide as a smile creeps on her face. "Jordan!" She says as she wraps her arms around me. I groan in pain and she lets go. "I'm sorry. I'm just glad you're awake." I smile and I motion for her to come closer. She leans in closer and I take the moment to grab the back of her head and pull her in for a kiss. She's shocked at first but relaxes and eases into the kiss. We stay like that for a while longer until she breaks away. I smile up at her.
"I love you too Lucy." She hears in my head. She smiles and the door opens to reveal Gia and Nicole. They see me awake and rush over.
"You're finally awake huh Jordan." Nicole says smiling.
"Ozpin was right. You're one tough son of a bitch." Says Gia as she slaps my leg. I grunt in pain and she recoils. "Whoops." I glare at her and she rubs the back of her head.
"It's good to see you awake Mr. Stack." Came a voice from the doorway. We all look to see Ozpin standing there sipping his coffee. "Now that you're up we can transfer you to Beacons infirmary knowing how you don't like hospitals." I nod and he walks off. I yawn and the others laugh.
"You tired?" asks Gia.
"Being in a coma is not like sleeping." She just smiles and shakes her head.
"Then we'll let you sleep. Come on guys. Our leader needs his rest." Gia and Nicole leave the room and when Lucy gets up I grab her wrist. She looks down at me.
"I don't want to be alone." I say like a child. She just smiles and lays down in the bed next to me. I snuggle up to her and close my eyes. I still feel uneasy until I feel her start to rub my head. I start to relax and fall into sleep. Knowing I was safe for the night.
Hey hey hey. It's not fat albert. It's stack. But tell me what you thought of the chapter. I was originally gonna have this be two chapters but combined them. As always till next time. Stack OUT!
