Chapter 11 :: A Note
A/N: Willisheen – Yeah, I wondered if anyone noticed that. This series is not a crossover in any way or form, but I think I may make Lara appear at least once for a few chapters as a cameo. They're supposed to be cousins. Also, I apologize for the immense amount of information I just splashed into your brain XD
As far as this series goes, I will try to explain everything as clearly and briefly as possible. I originally intended to speed up the progression of the story so I could create interesting points at the most appropriate time in the story. However, since last episode was more of filler for information, I decided to try and slow this one down. Can you believe the last chapter took up 10 pages? I can't. Also, I've become inspired to draw OC's :D I think I might draw the OC's of the stories I read :D Look for them on tumblr, may take a few weeks since I don't have my supplies. I actually posted what Auel looks like over there. One more thing, no Gary will not go soft, he's just…complicated.
Summary: Johnny Vincent has been sent back to Happy Volts and saw Leo in the Cerebral Chamber. Luke and Auel have been slaving away for the past few weeks to save Leo. Leo remembers just about everything but is unable to wake up from her slumber. Bif is keeping a secret from the preps. Derby is being possessive. Gary is still creating plans with Edgar's help. Jimmy wants to foil said plans. Petey misses Leo. Christy is making up rumors about Leo. Hyotei and Sven meet up and Sven finds out that she is expendable. So now…
Johnny's POV, A Block, cell 3
Damn, my head… I woke up in my old cell block with what felt like a hangover. I only had one can the other day; so no way this was from that. I held my forehead in both hands as I got up from the mattress I was layin' on. I remembered seein' Leo on the way in. She's in cell 1… There's no way I can get to her without – Oh, spoke too soon. I noticed the lock on the door was really rusty. Just one good kick and I'll be out. I got off the mattress and headed to the door. I looked through the bars in the door window. No one in sight? Johnny, this looks like your lucky day. I smirk and back up from the door. I get ready to bust the thing open and with one kick, its' lock falls right off. I make my way out of my cell sneakily passing through to cell 1.
"Ah, yes, Bambillo, we should have lunch again, soon, before I depart back for Australia. Next time, maybe Leo can join us." I heard some old guy talkin' as he sounded like he was getting closer to cell 1. I could tell Dr. Bambillo headed into the Employee Only door before his friend headed into A Block. Just as I was about to clock him with my fist, he held his hands up.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" He said quietly.
"Name's Johnny. Johnny Vincent. I'm the king of New Coventry." I respond as quietly as he spoke and raise my fist, "I ask the questions around here. Johnny Vincent does the tellin'."
He lowered his hands and his guard, "Ah, I see, a friend of Leo?"
"I said I-, wait, how did you know I was here for Leo?" I ask as I lower my fist.
He nods and smiles, "It's complicated, but follow me, hopefully I can help you understand." He leads me into cell 1. Cell 1 looks a lot different since the last time I was here. Inside, I see her, the girl who's slowly changin' me in a large white room with lights, science equipment and other miscellaneous tools I can't name. Me, the king, changin' for a broad. She peacefully sleeps in the same glass container I saw her in when I was still feelin' groggy on the way in. She doesn't even twitch, but I see her body slowly breathing as her chest rises and falls.
"Quite the specimen isn't she?" A guy my age calls out from the edge of the cell typing on a computer. I think I saw him at school when I accidentally mistook Leo for Lola. He sounds like Leo, same accent.
"She sure is." I say peering through the glass at Leo's sleeping face.
"She's almost ready to leave." The same guy says as he looks at me from the corner of his eye.
"Almost? What are you chumps doin' to her?" I let my anxiety get the best of me.
"We're just restoring her memories, it's a long story. Just relax, we're not going to harm her." He says, which I find hard to believe because I see all these wires connected to the glass containing Leo with electrical charges being sent back and forth. I don't smile, but I'm not upset, all I know is, she's safe, and she's right here in front of me.
"This is Leo's friend Johnny." The old man from earlier says as he closes the door behind him. I raise my hand.
"Auel Van Der Velden. Leo's little brother Luke is in the back." Auel says, focusing on his screen. "Charmed."
I ignore his last comment, but I let him know I was hearin' the first part. "Good to know she's alright." With that, he pauses for a moment and looks right at me. Do I have somethin' on my face?
To make light of the awkward silence, I stood up and walked to the front of the room near the door, "We should do something nice for Leo when she wakes up."
Auel's face softened and he nodded, "It's Sven's favorite holiday, let's ask him to help out and decorate this place."
"Sven?"
Leo's POV, in the Cerebral Chamber
So...Am I dead? I can't move any part of my body, but my subconscious is still intact. Well, at least I've managed to piece together the fact that I haven't died.
Fsshh….
I can hear something. What's going on?
"Leo?" Someone is violently shaking me. "Leo! Wake up!"
Slowly, I start to move my eyes within my eyelids and then the lids themselves slowly start to open as if I was experiencing tunnel vision. In front of me, I see a set of longing brown eyes, the same eyes I remember from a few days ago.
"Johnny?" I say as attempt to move my arm. No good, I seem to have been sleeping on the same side for a long period of time now. Everything is numb on the right.
"Hey guys, she's awake!" I hear Johnny say as everyone in the room gathers around me.
"How are you feelin'?" Auel says with a sincere smile.
"Well, I've been better", I say as I attempt to move my arm from underneath my ribcage where it had been lying for who knows how long, "Where am I?"
"In Happy Volts Asylum, no need to panic, you're only here because of some further testing that had to be done on that chip in you." As the doctor explained, I felt my side. No bandages, no cut, no pain.
"Feels like old times." Sven said as he walked around the bed-like machine I had been sleeping in.
"What's the date today?" I asked as I saw some decorations up for what appeared to be Halloween.
"Ah, so you noticed." Auel said as he looked at me and the decorations around us all, "It's October 30th."
"THE THIRTIETH!" I exclaim, hurriedly getting up from my position and neglecting to remember that my entire body was practically paralyzed.
"Yeah? Somethin' wrong?" Johnny asked.
After much explanation from everybody about the meltdown that I had and Bif's constant visits to make sure I was alright, I started to feel a bit better. I was more concerned about everyone else than my own self, Auel, Sven, and Luke looked so tired. They stayed up countless hours just for me. Johnny came to 'rescue' me out of his own free will, so I thought that was pretty sweet, but since no rescue was needed, he offered to give me a back massage instead.
Bif's POV, many hours later…
Is she awake yet? Will she be there still when I come back? I was in the back of Derby's limo with him, Pinky, and Gord, the four of us were supposed to accompany Derby and Pinky on a date (forced upon them by their parents) to the movie theatre in Old Bullworth Vale, but I was a bit preoccupied because I wanted to see Leo again. I had our driver drop me off at the Happy Volts Asylum under the idea that one of my relatives had been checked in and wanted to see me alone. I brought flowers as well to play the part. However, as I approached the door to A Block, cell 1, I stopped in my tracks hearing noises beyond the door.
"Ah! Ah! It feels so good. Keep going Johnny…" It sounded like Leo.
"Do you want me to push harder?" I could hear the voice of that greaser scum, Johnny Vincent, on the other side.
"Yes, harder, HARDER!" I could hear Leo moaning in pleasure.
"Guys, you're being really loud!" I could hear Leo's brother, Luke in the background. My eyes widened.
"Just…A little more." Johnny said as he was drawing himself out of breath.
"I can't take any more, it hurts!" Leo screamed.
What the hell is going on in there? With the lack of better judgment, I kicked the door in to be greeted by Johnny straddling Leo. I ran towards him and punched him off, dropping the flowers on the floor. He landed on a table of medical instruments by the Cerebral Chamber.
"Ow." Leo said quietly as she placed her hand on her neck. "Johnny, you okay?"
Johnny got up off the floor and dusted himself off and rubbed his jaw as he picked up the tools off the floor, "Yeah, I'm fine." He shot me a look of hatred.
"Way to start an afternoon." Luke said as he helped Johnny pick up the broken scraps of glass from test tubes.
"Bif, can you massage my neck." Leo says as she rubs the side of her neck she's been sleeping on for the past month.
"Massage?" I looked around the room at everyone who looked at me in silence, Auel and Sven had smirks on their faces.
"Yeah, what did you think was going on in here?" Auel said as he leaned back in his office chair.
I turned a deep red color. It all started to make sense. So…she was getting a massage by Johnny since her neck got stiff after sleeping in the same position for the past month…
"It's alright, mate, I'm sure anyone could've made that mistake if they passed through here." Sven said as he patted me on the back, clearly aware of what I thought.
"So, what're you doing here grease ball?" I barked at Johnny whose glare was not phased by the comments.
"What's it to ya?" He shot back, "I don't owe you trust fund fairies any explanations."
I felt bad for being out of line so I held back my rebuttal.
"I'm just toyin' with ya kid!" Johnny said as he propped up the last of the supplies that were spread across the floor. He seems unusually happy today.
"Thanks for stopping by John. I'll drop you off." Sven said as he picked up the keys for Auel's motorcycle on the hook near the cell entrance. Everyone left to escort Johnny home except Leo.
"Behave while we're gone, you two!" Sven said as he closed the door behind everyone. Johnny and Auel had given me these reluctant glances as the door finally shut.
"Bif, if you don't mind?" Leo said as looked at me pleadingly, pointing to her neck.
I made my way over to her, "sure. Sorry, I thought- Nevermind, how are you feeling."
"Peachy." She said unable to move from her stomach, "Johnny managed to relax the rest of my body except my upper back and neck."
"I see, how'd he find out?" I asked as I began to pour some soothing body cream on my hands.
"I'm not sure…I think the doctor told me he was sent here under the false accusation that Duncan believed Johnny had taken back all the bikes Clint stole." Leo says as she rests her face in a pillow.
"I wouldn't put it past that Greaser to steal bikes." I say as I rub Leo's upper back with her shirt pulled up to expose her entire back torso.
"…You really should apologize to him." Leo says quietly.
I run my hands down her sides and around her slim shoulders a bit in a daze, "Leo, I won't let you get away from me. I'll make you mine."
"Bif?" She says as I continue to massage her underarms and glide my hands past the side of her breasts.
"Yeah?" I ask as I shut my eyes while I feel every inch of Leo's upper body.
"Thank you for taking care of me and watching me." She said as she turned over to expose her front side.
The bandages were all gone, she was all healed up. I wanted to take every bit of her, but I was afraid to corrupt something so surreal and untainted. Leo lay there with her bra just barely covering herself as I reached to massage her stomach.
She smiled at me, "I know how much you care about me Bif. I want you to know that I feel the same. Everyone kept telling me how you would come here every day to make sure I was alright."
In the heat of the moment, I took those words from her lips and placed mine on hers. We were the only people in the room, and everything was silent as we shared a passionate kiss. I didn't know if she felt the same before, but now it was obvious. She kissed me back and before I could stop myself, I pushed her down on the chamber bed.
She shook her head, "Not here."
I had forgotten we were still at Happy Volts. This is definitely the least romantic place to do this sort of thing, but hey, I'd do me.
Leo let out a quiet laugh and took a piece of paper and started writing something down. "Let's go", she said as she jotted down the last of her thoughts. "I wrote them a letter saying we'll be out. We don't have much time, we should go."
I smiled as she dressed herself and took my hand as we ran out the Asylum doors. I couldn't help but notice that her eyes were two different colors, one was the jade green that I remembered seeing her with, the other was a icy blue. Regardless, she still looked great.
With a simple nod, we were out the doors hand in hand, the only thing left to trace us was a note.
A/N: Sorry, this one is rather short, I did intend it to be longer, but I'm currently having eye/contact problems. I will try to update ASAP. This incident was truly uncalled for T-T
