Disclaimer: I only own what is mine, my OCs and ideas.

A/N: Ok, so I was thinking that this would be like half a chapter and then I would write another half chapter which will end up being the next chapter. I was flipping through Kai's book to see what else I should do. And then I remembered this and I thought I could do something with it, and looking back it was evil but the next chapter will be slightly happier. I promise nothing.

Reviews:

ArtemisBAMF1218- I do have some fun pianos for Anna with K'un-Lun. I want to have fun with that because for her, loving technology and all, she is really just going to be out of her element. I know the crush feeling, I haven't had one but I have a lot of friends and some days it's just... Wow. Kai really is this sweet and overly sensitive person, and he really had the whole innocence about him, and still has it. I really hope you enjoy this chapter.

Nobel Six- I always stride to write the best I can, I am glad that you are also enjoying it.


Chapter 10


It's been about two or so weeks.

I was just walking down the hallways. I was dressed as White Tiger and I was heading to meet up with Hope and everyone else in Kai's apartment to work on his surprise party.

I was in Kai's hospital room to check on him, but he had to have an MRI.

I have to make a quick stop at the court first because I have to get my gym bag. It's way out of the way, but it really beats having the self-dubbed "party planning expert", Sabrina, giving orders about how to prepare things for the party, which won't end up lasting as long as she thinks. Kai will just want to get some rest in his own bed.

I was walking by the detaining area when I heard voices, one was Octavius, and the other was...

"Kai." I mutter softly. He was fuming by the sounds of it. But what was he doing here? Why is he anywhere near that monster!

I feel my own blood boil as I touch my watch to record the conversation. Hope may want to hear this. Coulson and Fury too... Kai's going to be in trouble over this... But considering everything... I need to record it to be on the safe side...

Octavius: "I wanted a weapon, I have always wanted a weapon, an army. Why do think I have spent most of my life playing the villain? I want the heroes. I want their powers. I want the world."

Kai:"You can't have the world, as long as people like me live, the world will never be yours. And if you do wipe this world of her heroes there are always more. The Immortal Weapons, the Asgardians, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Watchers, the Nova Corps, the Wakandans, and the Inhumans; there are so many people who would come and fight you. Even if they were tucked away safely in their homes, unaffected by you. And those I have listed are just the good guys. Imagine all the other villains out in the world who would attempt to kill you for that spot. That top throne."

Octavius: "And that is why I wanted a weapon, an Army. You were perfect. Except one of a kind. No one could survive your powers and you haven't even unlocked them all."

Kai: "What are you talking about? I am certain I can't be the only one."

Octavius: "Oh, you are, you sorry little brat."

Kai: "How could you…"

I hear my own heart stop. Kai's destroyed by these simple words. He has to be, his voice is broken, cracked, and it's painful to listen to. So painful... I lean against the wall where I was hiding, trying so hard not to cry. My hand is over my mouth. My eyes burn with tears.

Kai: "You are so heartless! No wonder you would leave for a long period of time! No wonder you were always so cheerful! I wasn't the only one was I?"

It's worse now. He is just so broken. I want to comfort him... But how can I exactly do that? He's scared and powerful and dangerous.

I stop the recording and bury my face in my knees. I don't know anymore... Kai's a different person now... I don't know what to do...

It's all quiet for a while, I couldn't hear Kai and Octavius talking.

Kai's mind must be on fire. There is no way his world isn't on fire right now. He's dangerous and scared and... I feel like I don't know him anymore.

"I'm going to go get him." I mutter to myself.. I stand up straight.

I turned the corner and Kai was slumped in his wheelchair. "Kai!" I shout. "Kai get up!" I give him a hard shake. "What's wrong?"

I look over to Octavius. He was slumped over in his restraints.

"Spirit." I say into my watch. "Spirit!" I shout.

"What's wrong?" Spirit asks.

"Kai's unconscious. He is in the detaining wing and he's collapsed in his wheelchair in front of Octavius' cell. They were talking and I have it on recording. Octavius is also out of it. Kai must have done something."

"Right." Spirit nods. "Be right there."

I gently touch his neck to find a pulse. He's breathing, his pulse is slower. I touch his forehead too. He is warm, maybe near feverish. I stand up and bend over and wrap my arms around his neck.

"You worry me." I tell him softly. "You worry all of us."

Spirit runs around the corner and rushes up to us.

" 我會殺了你!" She shouts at Octavius before she notice he is unconscious. She looks to Kai. "He's inside Octavius' mind." She says softly. "真是個蠢材."

"What is he doing here?" She demands instantly turning to me. She doesn't seem to be directly mad at me.

"I don't know. We were hanging out and then the doctor said Kai had some tests to be run and then I left." I explain. "I was just walking to court and I heard him yelling. So I recording their conversation and then when it got quiet I looked and saw he was knocked out."

Hopes sighs. "Kocl-dnim." She whispers. I watched the mist slowly come from her hand and enter the cell. It wrap around Octavious head and the man screamed.

"Don't hurt him!" I exclaim. "Spirit, don't kill him!" I plead as I watch his pain. "Spirit!" I shout.

I can't see her eyes, but her expression was unreadable. She seems to be in a trance. "Ecnalgata-ep-a-csdnim." Hope says more. I know she is killing him. I know she is going to end this. She's been through too much.

"Spirit, stop it!" I shout. "You can't kill him. I know you want to!"

She looks over at me as the mists swirl around her, lifting her off the ground. Her eyes plates are glowing. Glowing eyes...

"Coulson." I mutter to my watch. "I have a situation. And I need some help." I mutter meekly.

Hope's hair flies in every direction and she extends a hand at Octavius. She seems to be completely emerged in what she is doing. "Edis-ni-eht-emwohs."

I have got no clue what I am going to do. I look at my hands. Maybe I could snap her out of it if I scratched her.

"Spirit, come on I don't want to have to hurt you, but I don't know what else to do." I yell at her.

I rush at her and her hand turns to look at me. I feel fear shoot through my veins. Her glare nearly stops me in my tracks. No, Anna. Have to help the situation.

I jump at Hope and take my shot. A clean cut across her upper arm. Her costume tears and I see her blood rushing to the wound.

Hope doesn't flinch or react. "Tcet-orpydob." She says her voice was now many voices she was using so much power. Her free hand points out toward me.

A shock wave shoots out and knocks me into a wall. "Not cool." I mutter.

I notice Kai is still right next to her, he is sitting in his wheelchair. He was unaffected by Hope's magic. I watched him for a minute and I noticed that he was moving, his face was twitching, he squeezed his eyes shut and looked as if he was in pain.

"Spirit! Stop this! Now! This is wrong!" I scream at her. "You're hurting your brother!"

I hear something on the other side of her. "Help." I mutter to myself.

"Tcet-orpydob. Hope says again, her hand that she had pointed at me was not pointed at whoever had just shown up. They had the same shock wave effect that I had endured.

"Dnims-iht-fo-tuoo-tiak." Hope speaks. "Dnims-iht-fo-tuoo-tiak!" She repeats in a yell.

I look over and I can't see Octavius anymore. I watch Hope take a deep breath. I rush at her again I can feel the amulet pulsating. Come on Anna...

The protective mists around her make it hard to get closer to her.

"Yawa-edis-nist-erc-ese-htdnadn-imsiht-kcol!" Each syllable is slow and strong. Everything was said with power.

I feel the amulet getting angry like me. I feel it and feel this cold strength inside of my legs. I watch as I begin to move faster. I smile as I rush at Hope with loads of speed and I grab her arm and try to pull her down.

Ok, I didn't think I would get this far. I was able to get to her, but now how to get her to stop.

Hope's hair stops flying and I let go her body drops to the ground and I let go. I cup my hands over her mouth, can't let her talk anymore.

Hope slowly sits up and I let her move, but I don't take my hands away.

She pulls of her mask and looks at me quizzically.

"Anna?"She mumbles.

I pull back. "Are you ok?" I ask slowly.

"Yes." Hope replies.

"Ok, good." I let out a breath of relief. "WHAT ON EARTH WAS THAT?" I can't help but hear myself scream. "WHAT DID YOU DO? TELL ME NOW!"

Hope sits up and pulls up her legs and rubs her back. She then looked at her arm. She looked at me bitterly. "What did YOU do is the better question." She says calmly pulling back her hand, it was now blood stained.

"Kai was in his mind." Hope pointed at Octavius. "I got him out. And locked Kai out. He shouldn't be anywhere near Octavious, let alone inside his mind. That may be where our answers are but, my brother's safety comes first.

"I think, I have a recording of the two of them before Kai pulled his stunt." I tell her quietly. "It could explain some stuff."

Hope didn't look at me. Coulson had taken Kai back to the infermary. I had just noticed. But Hope's attention was on her arm. She was looking at her cut.

"You attacked me." She decided quietly. "Did you really think I was going to kill him?" She asked me like I was crazy. "Come on."

"I didn't know what you were saying. And I don't know what your spells mean!" I say annoyed, "I had every reason to think you were trying to kill him!"

Hope gets to her feet and puts her mask back on. "我很欣赏你的关心." She says darkly.

I kind of hate Chinese now. She can say anything she wants and almost no one here will know.

"Let's go hear this recording." She says as she starts to walk away.


We were all in the debriefing room, and by all I mean Coulson, Hope, and myself; I think this is a little too sensitive to share right now. Hope had just finished playing the recording for the third time.

"Others?" She asked. "So there were other people being held in those labs."

"Yes, but by the looks of things, none of them would be alive right now." Coulson adds. "SHIELD did not find anyone else when we explored the compound three days after we rescued Kai."

"Nothing?" I ask. I was fiddling with Kai's birthday present. Well the prototype of the actual gift, I'm going to use a 3-D printer to make the finished product. Screwing in a loose screw and making sure it was done correctly. I placed down my Phillips head screwdriver. "Absolutely nothing? No signs of life or where they would be kept?"

"No signs of any other people being in the compound." Coulson says looking at his papers. "But our scientists are looking at what remains of the mind control technology. They think he would kidnap them, take them to another location, do whatever he did and hen wipe them of what happened and send them back to their normal life. This is, of course, all in theory."

"But what was the control?" I ask slowly.

"Again, this is in theory; some of our agents believe that the control device is implanted in Octavius himself, nothing for us to find. No notes in any of his research." Coulson explained. "They had hoped that Kai would have some answers or use his telepathy to get them."

"Kai is not aloud to get near Octavius under any conditions." Hope growls bitterly. "It is for his own good."

"Also, regarding Kai we were going to have a psychiatrist or psychologist to come see him. And assess his state; see if we can learn anything how he is doing mentally." Coulson explained to Hope. I quickly went back to tinkering with my gift. This is none of my beeswax.

Hope doesn't say anything. "Alright."

"Anna, would you mind letting Hope and I discuss this in private?" Coulson asks.

"Yeah, sure. I'll be in my Dad' slab if you need anything." I say gathering my things and getting up.

Kai... You really just need to get better.
