---------------------------------------------------------
Kai walked down the halls of the training center. Mr. Dickinson had arranged that he continue his rehabilitation here, instead of at the normal hospital. The training center had expert medical doctors, and was the equivalent, if not better than any other hospital....plus, Kai liked this a little better, even though he wasn't too fond of doctors.
The medical area was on the main level. They also had many exercising machines there too, for use of medical, and training purposes. Kai sighed in relief as he walked past them. He was sure the room was going to be packed full with amateurs. He continued down the hall until he came to a closed door. He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts before opening the door and proceeding inside.
"Good afternoon Kai!" A friendly voice exclaimed. "I'll be right with you!"
The blue haired teen took a seat and waited patiently for his turn. After a few moments, a young boy, about 10 years old, walked out. He had a large cut on his arm, that had been wrapped with layers of gauze.
"Be more careful next time." His doctor told him as he exited. "Alright come on back."
Kai sighed and pushed himself out of the chair. His doctor motioned for him to sit on the small bed at the far wall.
"How are you feeling today?" She asked him as he removed his shirt.
"Peachy...." Kai hated these questions. How did she think he felt with 5 broken ribs?
The doctor removed the plastic brace from his torso and told him to lay down. She brought in a small machine and placed it above Kai so it hovered over his chest. After pressing a few buttons, there was a bright flash of light and a clicking sound. The doctor pushed the machine back into it's original place and looked at a computer screen on her desk.
"Well, it looks like everything is healing alright......" She said after examining the X-Ray of his chest. She turned back around and faced the teen. "I'm going to let you keep that brace off, just take it easy for a while, and don't strain yourself."
"Hnnn..." Kai replied.
"How's that eye doing? Has it gotten worse?" She asked, brushing his bangs away from the scar.
"I still can't see that good with it." Kai admitted. "Everything's fuzzy."
"Hmmmm...." The doctor pondered for a moment. "I'm guessing you haven't told anyone on your team about this, right?"
The teen nodded slightly. Why would he do something like that? It would only cause them to think he's weak. Hilary knew though, but that was different. She wouldn't think that about him.
The doctor started to say something else, but stopped herself. "Well, let's run a few tests, and I'll let you go."
The two stood up and headed out into the workout room. Kai's doctor attached some small sticky patches to the teen's chest. She then motioned for Kai to climb onto the machine and start.
He was beginning to tire of this exercise. All he had to do was run on a treadmill while his doctor accessed his muscles and body's reaction. Kai was used to something like this....Boris always had him run while being hooked up to different machines until he collapsed of fatigue.
After about 5 minutes of running at top speed, something inside Kai's mind snapped, and his eyes dilated and widened in fright.
"Kai!" He heard his doctor cry as his legs gave out on him and crashed onto the machine. He managed to catch himself on the railing as his doctor turned off the power. With a grunt, he collapsed onto the tread and rolled onto the ground.
"Kai! What happened?!" His doctor was right over him, concern covered her face.
His crimson eyes closed as he heard someone enter the room, and then completely blacked out.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"I don't know what happened, he just collapsed!" Kai's doctor told the elderly man."What do you think the problem is doctor?" Mr. Dickinson asked.
"I honestly have no idea! His body seemed perfectly normal." The doctor replied, rubbing her temple with her thumbs.
The two adults sighed. Just when Kai seemed to be healing, something like this happened.
"N..no! St..stay away!" Someone cried inside the room.
Cried of pain were heard, and Mr. Dickinson, along with Kai's doctor turned to look inside to see what was happening. Two doctors were on the ground, in apparent pain.
Suddenly, Kai appeared from no where and crashed into Mr. Dickinson, sending the teen onto the floor.
"Kai?!" The elder exclaimed, taking a step over to the fallen teen, concern covering his face.
The teen's crimson eyes widened in fright as he looked up at the elder.
"I...I'm sorry....Please! It won't happen again!" Kai cried out as he scooted back from the manager.
"Kai? What's wrong with you?" The elder reached out to touch the team captain, but he gasped and curled into a tight ball.
"No...please don't.....I'll be good......I promise.....please.....Grandfather......" He whimpered, his body beginning to shake uncontrollably.
"Grandfather?!" Mr. Dickinson gasped, finally realizing why Kai was acting this way.
Inside his mind, the elder had taken the form of Voltaire, and Kai was obviously reliving a piece of his torment.
The two adults looked at each other in fright. Kai was hallucinating
