CROWSCHAPTER TWENTY: DIEING HERO'S
Kai noticed how pale she was looking; she had also broken out into a cold sweat, Quinn began to feel very dizzy.
"I don't feel so good guys," she gasped before passing out and falling into Kai's lap.
"What's the matter with her?" he asked concerned
"He's given her a double dose of yellow poison, she won't make it to nightfall if her blood isn't cleansed, we've got to get her home" Cross replied
"Hold on Quinn" Kai muttered placing a hand on her hot forehead.
"Jet!" Cross yelled
"I know you're there Jet, you're my sister's guardian angel," she added
"No need to shout I'm right here," came reply
"I was scanning for more of Chang's men," she added
"Quinn's been hurt, Chang's given her yellow poison" Cross explained
"Son of a bitch must pay," Jet growled
Kai had got Quinn's limp body cradled against him, a few minutes later a truck pulled up in front of them, the truck lowered a ramp the car drove up it and for a short while everyone was suspended in darkness.
"She's going to be okay isn't she?" Ray asked
"If we cure her in time" Cross replied
The truck came to a stop and the car reversed down the ramp into the garage, Jet was stood anxiously waiting for them.
"Follow me," she instructed to Kai
They both stood in elevator.
"Kitchen" Jet ordered
In no time at all Kai was following her through the living room to the study, he noticed all the computers before entering a grand oak panelled library, they walked through to a hospital ward.
"This is the infirmary," Jet explained
There was a glass coffin in the middle of the room filled with water and hooked up to a machine.
"Look away for a minute" she asked
"Quinn can you hear me?" Jet asked softly
"Jet. need Belladonna" Quinn croaked before slipping away.
"Okay" she answered gently
"What's happened to her?" Kai asked with his back still turned
"She's in a coma" Jet replied
"I need you to put her in, there's a good chance she'll make it," she added
Kai turned round and blushed furiously, Quinn had been stripped to her bra and knickers.
"Kai now's not the time to be embarrassed," Jet snapped
He did as he was told though worry and concern was making him tremble, he placed her in and watched the water cocoon her body.
Jet hooked her up before leaving the room and soon there was the beat of Quinn's steady pulse, Quinn looked as if she was asleep or in suspended animation, Kai was half expecting her to wake up.
The dragon tattoo that the Young brothers had talked so much about stood out brilliantly against her paper white skin, as well as her branding mark; he traced his fingers over the glass.
"Please don't die," he whispered he placed a kiss on the glass before leaving her.
Kai found his team-mates in the library.
"She's going to be okay Kai" Tyson reassured
Kai half pitied him he was so innocent to the world, he didn't know anything about death, Kai was almost jealous that Tyson had such a secure loving family whereas the family that should have loved him subjected him to the harsh reality of life.
"It's all my fault," he mumbled sitting down in a comfortable armchair in front of a roaring fire.
"She's done this to save you" Cross said gently
"She went to save you" he replied
"Don't you think we paid her back then" she answered before going into the infirmary
Kai looked up at the huge painting above the fireplace, he knew exactly whom the little girl was; he recognised the unmistakable wild eyes that had captured him the first time they met, her black plated hair rested on one shoulder.
The little girl was wearing a black ghee and stood in fighting stance, he saw a middle aged man standing proudly behind her with his arms crossed and a fatherly grin on his face.
"Quinn almost looked like me when I was a kid" Ray pointed out
"She looked so cute" Max admired
"Her good looks haven't changed," he added
"That's obviously her dad" Kenny said indicating the man
"What I wouldn't give for a dad who could do martial arts like him, instead of grandpa" Tyson said
"Who do you think taught him?" came a familiar voice
"I taught Quinn's dad, he was much harder on her because she was a girl, he often had this rule, if she didn't train hard enough she didn't get fed, why do you think she appreciates what she has? I always thought he was being to hard on the poor kid, until I saw her in action" he added
"Woawh I take back everything I ever said about you grandpa" Tyson replied a little surprised
"That girl is the last in the line of black ninjas thanks to Voltaire" Grandpa went on
"What do you mean?" Kai asked interested
"Voltaire had the black ninja's killed, he massacred the village, but that wasn't the half of it, Quinn's father fought against Johnny Chang, he was a well known kick boxer back then, but anyway Chang won and Voltaire ordered that Quinn's father be crucified the Chinese way, but as you probably know by now Quinn had already been sent from Thailand to Hong Kong" he finished
"Quinn has nightmares about that she told me" Ray said sadly
"There's nothing more we can do except wait," Jet said calmly
"Chang's going to pay" Cross growled through gritted teeth
She could see Chang's face laughing at her in the roaring flames of the fire.
"Don't do anything stupid, you'll only endanger yourself and this time Quinn won't be there to save you" Jet reminded
Cross spent the night in Quinn's bed.
"Angels east, angels west, north and south just do your best to guard and watch her as she rests" Cross prayed
Ray was the first to wake and noticed that Kai hadn't slept in his bed that night.
"Where's Kai?" he asked
"The infirmary" Jet answered
Ray smiled at the scene when he entered the infirmary; Kai was asleep with his arms resting on the glass coffin and his head resting in his arms Ray walked away and got breakfast.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kai stirred and woke up the moment Ray had left, he looked down at Quinn; he couldn't bear to see her like that anymore.
"Quinn please wake up" he begged
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ray sat down eating pancakes and contemplating what Quinn had been trying to teach him.
"Since that fight, I've noticed that my strength is changing, I'm becoming stronger, I can't believe I even pinned her down that time," he thought
Tyson and Max burst into the room.
"Alright breakfast" Tyson yelled before knocking the glass bottle of milk onto the floor.
It smashed loudly, Ray felt a surge of anger explode inside him; and before anyone knew what was going on Ray leapt at Tyson with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes.
"Woawh Ray stop" he begged picking up a chair and acting like a lion tamer.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Quinn please wake up" Kai begged as he beat his fist against the glass
Quinn's eyes shot open and the glass coffin began to crack, she looked like she was possessed she had got up unaware of Kai's presence or the fact that she wasn't wearing much clothing.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Stop Ray" Tyson begged gripping the chair that separated them.
"Quinn?" Max said unsure he was seeing her.
Quinn was soaking wet droplets from her hair were running down her face.
"Stop!" she commanded
Ray felt the surge of anger die and he became his normal self, he noticed Tyson holding up the chair in front of him, everyone noticed Quinn's possessed state.
"Quinn!" Cross yelled delighted
Quinn's eyes rolled to the back of her head then she fell back into Kai's arms, Kai was holding a blanket and wrapped her up in it.
"Hey guys," she croaked shakily
"You've scared us half to death," Jet said calming down
"Scared me half to death too" Quinn replied clutching the blanket.
"No wonder I'm freezing" she dithered
Cross and Jet slung their arms around Quinn's neck and hugged her.
"Just remember I'm not dieing yet, I've got too much work to do" Quinn reassured
She left them and got dressed; she came back wearing her baggy jeans and a blue tight t-shirt, and she had a familiar glow in her eyes.
"You're not going to do what I think you are?" Cross asked
"Come on Cross it's time I return the favour to Chang, it's his turn to die, he killed our father and nearly sent me to meet him" Quinn said seriously
"And you're coming with me Kai" she said looking at him with a piercing gaze.
"But I know better than to go gallivanting up to his offices and blow him up, it has to be planned," she added
Everyone grinned at her happy that she was her old self again.
"Welcome back Quinn" Jet said smiling
"The legend still walks" Cross said proudly
