Chapter 2- Raising The Flag
Episode could feel his aching body start to wake, and he prayed for himself to pass out again. He had no such luck however as a familiar leather lash slapped his face. It wasn't as hard as she would normally lash him, but it hurt like hell still the same. "Epi open your damn eyes, and quit scaring the others." He heard Luminis order him, and he realized it must be the gang visiting him in a hospital. Luminis was a sniper, and she would have NEVER uncloaked to care for wounded. Well maybe for him, but that was another story. Slowly Episode opened his eyes to find himself on, yep, a sterile hospital bed. "He looks like shit." Episode heard Remorse mutter tactlessly from behind Luminis, and then the infantry grunted in pain. "Thanks Icefox." Episode said realizing who must have shut the man up. God he could feel her and Gina smile at him. He never found out if that was her call sign or her real name. Hum. Looking up at Luminis he saw the pale, blue white, complexion of a familiar medic behind her. "You the one who patched me up Smurf?" Episode queried, but the medic shook his head as to say no. "I didn't want to TRY Epi." He said, "You were more mangled than a train victim." That's when Luminis' grin faded.
"How'd I make it then?" Episode asked as he looked himself over. Thankfully he was still complete, and he wasn't missing limbs. He did notice the multiple casts he DID have on though. "Well the commander who sent you on this mission, think his name was Joeban, he wanted to make sure you made it. He had a whole surgical team assigned to you." Came the voice of Exo from the bedside chair on Episode's other side. He smiled at Luminis as he reached up with a hand to push some blonde hair from her face. She held his hand before he lowered it, and rubbed her face in it's warmth. "She was pretty worried about you two. Damn crazy bitch came busting into my office to see how things went, and when I told her someone else was working on you she practically went A-wall!" Smurf said as he only slightly exaggerated some earlier events. Luminis gave Episode a winning smile, and he pretended to cough and close his eyes as Luminis reared back and kicked Smurf in the shin. "OOOWWWW!!" He howled as he started to hop around the room. This was hindered as the room was full of people, and the clumsy medic tripped and fell into Gina's arms. She flushed somewhat as Smurf apologized and stood again.
Soon as if by some consensus made between the eyes of the room's occupants everyone started to leave except for Exo. Sensing something was wrong Episode turned to the old friend. "What's up man?" Episode queried. Exo sighed, and he pulled a sheet of paper from his uniform. Episode read it carefully and recognized it as a bio for a Titan soldier. "Name: Derrick Kyles, Age: nineteen, Sex: Male." Episode read blankly then turned back to Exo, "What's the deal Exo?" Exo sighed deeply. "Look towards the bottom under history." He said sadly, and Episode did as told. When he had read it all he dropped the paper. "Derrick Kyles was a graduate of southern Titan High School. He graduated with honors, and had been friend's with several other seniors on the football team. Two being Nicholas Schaa, and Brandon Schaa. Derrick had died under the call sign of Cerberus, while his old teammates had lived through his death. One having been the direct cause of it. "God damn it all." Episode whispered as he sunk somewhat lower into the bed. "My thoughts entirely." Exo summed up as the two slipped into silent contemplation. Exo left Episode to his thoughts about twenty minutes later, and the young jump trooper took in his condition a little closer as he thought.
He would be busted up for months it seemed. He had a broken something in both legs judging from his casts, and his right lower arm was wrapped into him. He also had his ribs gingerly padded and wrapped. 'So I got what, six, seven broken bones?' Episode thought with slight amusement. He had never had anything worse than a weak sprain until now. It would be a change. As his mind started to go over the details of his fight with Cerberus he started to torment himself into coming up with a way to fix the situation at hand. Certainly there was a way to get a communication set up with his brother to safely relay information on who should wear white bands, but just how would they do it? Episode pondered this for several hours before he fell asleep, amazingly enough the answer came to him in a dream about Luminis!

Okay this was MUCH shorter than chapter one, so sue me! I am NOT done yet, and what is Episode's brilliant idea you ask? Well you will have to see the next chapter to find out!
