Chapter Ten- Getting shot isn't so hot
A/N: I like this chapter, although I couldn't exactly word it as it played out in my head. You know how it goes, Action is always cooler in the movies. But there is more FAX soon, I have no idea why I didn't add more when I wrote these.
Iggy's POV
It hurt like nothing I had ever experienced before. Everything else, compared to this, was like a mosquito bite. I felt myself crumple to the ground, slightly dazed and in pain beyond belief.
"Please!" Frenna screamed, at least I think it was Frenna, everything was really loud and fuzzy sounding.
"Oh my god! Iggy!" Max screeched, crouching by Frenna's side over me. Frenna ripped my lab coat and other shirt off, and I have a feeling it did not look good. She let out a gasp, and took her lab coat off and pressed it to my wounds.
"Shit!" I screamed, it hurt so badly. "Oh my god."
"Iggy! Okay, you're still awake. How bad does it hurt?" Frenna looked at me with such concern I wanted to tell her it felt like I was being tickled by daisies, just to make her feel better.
"Well, lets see, um I guess hell describes it well." I told her, less sarcasm in my voice than I had hopped to put in. That's me, the sarcastic blind guy who got shot. Frenna put her 'game face' on, as I call it. You could almost see her eyes go into hyper focus. It's amazing what people can do when their eyes WORK. I was still getting used to seeing in the hallways, because the white paint and white tiles effected me somehow. Everything was really blurry, but I could still see. Not one of the best times to be able to see though...
"Oh...crap." Fang said, and Max whispered something to Frenna.
"His right pocket has mini bombs, only two left, and left has one regular bomb, use it wisely. You sound funny Max, are you sure you're okay? Never mind, I don't have time for this! Fang! Go get me a beaker, a needle, test tube that's hot, scissors, um, a towel, and a syringe." Frenna said hurriedly as her hands pressed on my wound. I wanted to scream in pain. In fact, I just wanted to curl up and die. It sounded so nice right now.
"I'll find it Frey. Max, handle the Pussbuckets." He said, and hurried out in search of my needed supplies.
"Let's play ball." Max said, as she ran for the Pussbuckets.
"Frenna?" I called out for my girlfriend, and boy, my voice was weak.
"Shhh it's okay honey, I'll make it better. That was stupid you know, taking a bullet for me. Well, three, really." She said, and scanned my wounds. I guessed I had been shot in the stomach, into some muscle, and a bit lower than my lung. Damn, I had no clue what Frenna was doing, but she sure did like poking around.
"Um, ouch. Babes, stop that." I told her, and she stopped applying pressure instantly. She pulled the cloth (which was really just my blood stained lab coat) away, and bit her lip.
"Oh god...Why Aren't you clotting?!" she asked, mostly to herself. Oh shit, I was going to bleed to death soon. Great. At least I could Frenna's face in the white halls.
"Frenna I got your stuff, but I think no one is in here. I mean, Max got out so easily...Do You think something's up?" Fang asked as he returned, and before he could get all the words out of his mouth, a girl screamed my name.
"IGGY? What happened?!" The girl shrieked , and I couldn't look around to see her. But I knew from the voice and the light footsteps on the ground who it belonged to. It was no one other than Maximum Ride, in a baggy T-shirt and jeans. And if this was the real Max...then What "Max" had my bombs? The thoughts in my head were cut short by a sharp pain in my arm.
"What are you doing?" I asked Frenna in between gasps of pain.
"I just gave you my blood. You're Welcome. Okay, Iggy, this will hurt, grab my hand." She told me.
"I promised didn't I?" I said, grabbing her hand. Then a pulling started on my stomach, and it wasn't so bad. I had expected a lot more pain for what she made it out to be. I heard a 'clink' on the floor. "You did not just take the bullet out. I'll bleed to death!" I tried to say it with force, but my voice was not as strong as it should have been for that sentence.
"Yes I did, now brace yourself." She said, and tears streamed down her face. What was she going to do? I mean, if Frenna is crying because she's about to put you through pain, then you know it's gonna hurt.
And I was right. It hurt more than getting shot three times, it hurt more than any amount of pain I had ever been in combined. I tried to hold back for Frenna, tried to stay strong. But whatever she was doing, it was enough to make me lose control. Tears streamed down my face as I howled in pain.
"FUCK!" I screamed, I couldn't help it. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" I shrieked at her, and tears poured steadily down her face. Note to self: try to be thoughtful when yelling at your girlfriend, whom is only trying to save your life.
"I'm saving you. I'm searing your stomach so you don't bleed to death. I'm so sorry." She said with a sob, and she pressed harder on my internal organs. Mmmm, nothing like the smell of burning flesh. Even more so when it's your insides.
"GAAAAH!" I couldn't help but scream, I had never had my insides seared together by hot glass before, never hoping to again. I think I'd rather die.
"So they brought you back, huh?!" The real Max screamed at the one with my bombs. Fang was backing her up, but Max2 had Pussbuckets. A crap load of Pussbuckets.
"Frenna, hurry, we need to help them." I managed to gasp out. She looked at me like I was crazy.
"You arwen nouts hewlrpinhfg thfgem" She said, and I knew I was slipping away. "NO! DAMNIT! CLOT!" Frenna screamed, and stuck a needle in her arm.
"No, Frenna. Please don't do that, that's too much blood." I tried to say, but it came out in almost a whisper. A whisper that could never express how worried I was, or scared.
"You need it, so I'm giving it too you." She stabbed my arm with the needle again. All of a sudden there was a loud boom, and Max and Fang were blown into me and Frenna. Ouch.
"So I'm guessing that didn't go as planned?" Frenna asked them, but her face looked crazed with worry.
"God, Bitch. I think we have sworn more today than our whole lives put together." Fang said, and Max nodded. They shot up and ran off to fight again. I silently thanked god they were unscathed.
"Okay, I'm gonna stitch up the other ones. They aren't as bad." Frenna said, and then looked me in the eyes. "Iggy, I'm so sorry, I just can't, god, I mean... All that pain..." She started babbling, and tears streamed her face even harder.
Frenna was NOT an easy person to get to cry, but sometimes she lost it. I braced myself for the pain, and I reached my hands up and pulled her lips on mine. It hurt like the dickens to pull her down towards me, but I didn't care. She tried to break free so she could sew me up, but I wouldn't let her go.
"Taking a bullet may seem noble, but it hurts like hell. I'd do it any day for you Frenna." I whispered in her ear, and she closed her eyes and kissed me back. She pulled away after about 30 seconds.
"I don't have any more blood I can give you, so I need to sew you up." She said, and I automatically longed for the feel of her hair, and her fruity smell. But I nodded, and she sewed me up as fast as she could. She then picked me up and ran around in rooms looking for something.
"I think I can walk you know." I told her, not exactly feeling the manliest I could being carried by my girlfriend. Frenna gave me a funny look.
"Yes well, you're not walking until you have to. Suck it." She said, and smiled at me. Her hair was afly, she was splattered with pussbucket parts and blood, but she was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
"What are you looking for?" I asked her, gritting my teeth at the pain.
"Pain meds, you can't tell me you don't feel like crap." She replied, and obtained a syringe full of a blue liquid. I stared at it before realizing what it was.
"Oh, That's nice." I said, kinda dazed. I must have lost more blood than I thought. She shot it directly in my stomach, and I felt so much better. She looked at me, and closed the space between her lips and mine. She kissed me for a full minute, then pulled away.
"Be careful, take it easy, don't try to escape. We will come for you." She whispered hurriedly. Huh? What did she mean? Right then Max and Fang ran in the room.
"We blew her up, accidentally." Fang said, and you could tell they really didn't try to kill her. We had never killed a real person on purpose before. It just kinda...happened.
"Hey, she's given us more than she's worth in trouble anyways." I said through gritted teeth, and they looked at me shocked.
"Whoa, so, what happened?" Max asked. She looked a lot more like Max, still in her bloodied T-shirt and jeans. Fang and Frenna hurriedly explained what happened, and she took it all in without much surprise. Max, used to blood and gore? Shocker.
"Look guys, while I was working on Iggy, I was seeing something. Itex security are coming, they have all the entrances and exits blocked off. Hope you liked your bit of freedom Max, because were gonna be separated. About a day from now I'll break my bars so I can get out and I'll come get you guys. Try to get out without me though. But not you!" She pointed to me. "Stay still, I'm only waiting a day so you can heal. You need it." She said, and a pained look came across her face. She closed her eyes and searched for more information in her trance.
"Wow, she did really good with stitching you up, Iggy." Fang said, and looked at my wounds. And I had to admit, I couldn't have done much better myself. I nodded, in pain and extremely exhausted. Frenna opened her eyes, and flew around the room giving everyone hugs.
"They are coming, we have 45 seconds." She said. Max's eyes opened wide, and Fang grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close.
"Iggy, you need to hide your wounds, don't let them know your hurt. They will kill you." Frenna said, while tugging my old shirt over my head.
"I got it!" I yelled to her, and she stepped back and let me adjust myself. When I was done I took in as much of her as I could. I am always blind, so when I can see, it's amazing for me and her. She was bleeding, and was pale from lack of blood, and she had chunks of Pussbucket all over her. She was Perfect. I didn't care if Max and Fang were right there. I grabbed her and pulled her close to me, I stroked her cheek, and she let her tears fall.
"I...I lo-" She started, but security works in lab coats like ours came in and threw orb in the room.. They then ran out, sealing the door behind them. The bomb released a purple gas, and I felt myself slipping. All my muscles felt like Jell-o, and Frenna fell out of my grip. I collapsed on the ground, and Fang dropped like a anvil. Frenna looked at me with great effort.
"I love you." She whispered. And then we all passed out.
