Chapter 3
"Kami! What the hell happened here?" Bulma walked in cautiously, taking in the state of the lab. Tables were overturned, papers were strewn everywhere and bits of metal and electronic parts were scattered in every direction. The computers were broken and… "Dad!" Bulma yelled as she ran over to where her father was laying on the disarrayed floor. "Oh Dad, please be alive!" Bulma checked her father for his vital sighs. He was unconscious but still breathing. He had a gash at the back of his head, which was sticky from the blood. The corner of his mouth was bleeding as if he had been hit. Bulma choked back her tears. Her father was obviously in a struggle. He had bruises all over his arms and face. Kami, she needed help. Turning she ran for the door and to the nearest building. It had stopped raining, but the ground was still wt and pools of water laid everywhere in the yard. Normally, this would have been a beautiful sight to her, but Bulma didn't even notice it. She started hammering on the door of the GR. 'Please, let him help me! Kami, please let him help me!' Bulma was now crying as she prayed and banged on the metal door.
"Dammit! I am training. Can't you meddling Humans leave me alone?" Vegeta fumed and screamed at the unknown person behind the door. He focused on the ki and realized it was the woman. Smirking he went to the switch the gravity off. 'So, she came to apologize? Good, about time to.' As he opened the door, he stared at her shocked. She was crying and was obviously panicking. "Please, Vegeta, You have to help me. My father…" She choked on her words and placed her trembling hand on her mouth as if to hold back more sobs. Her other hand pointed shaking to the lab. "Woman, what the hell are you talking about?" Vegeta stared at her confused. 'What the hell was wrong with her? She never fell apart like this?' "Kami! Vegeta just help me!" She screamed with all her might. Vegeta pushed past her and took off to the lab. Something must be seriously wrong. The woman completely lost it! Running in, he stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of the lab. This is not good. Finding her father, Vegeta toke in his conditions. 'He was attacked.' Vegeta picked up the bruised man in one swift move and headed for the door. Bulma stood in his path and was still crying. "Dammit woman, go open the door to the house! Pull yourself together!" Bulma lifted her head up slowly. "His my father, Vegeta." She whispered slowly. "Then make yourself useful and ready the med lab." He replied quietly. She looked Vegeta in the eye for a while. She then nodded and ran to the house.
Placing the old scientist on the bed, Vegeta noticed that Bulma was now in control of her emotions. She cleaned his wounds and checked his pulse and blood pressure, all the way taking notes on a bad of paper. After ensuring her father will be all right, she turned to the door where Vegeta stood leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest. Walking over to him she stopped only a feet away. "Thank you Vegeta. I didn't know what to do, when I saw him there…" Her voices trailed of as silent tears rained down her cheeks. Vegeta just stared at her. 'What do I do? Do I comfort her? Do I just leave? Ignore those watery emerald pools staring at me? What am I suppose to do?' He struggled with his feelings. In the end he settled on "You're welcome" then turned and left her with her father.
Walking down the hall Vegeta sensed Bulma's mother up ahead. Turning into the kitchen he now not just saw her, but heard her to. "Hi, deary, you are in quite early! She exclaimed enthusiastic. Snorting, Vegeta replied. "Your daughter needs you in the med lab." With that he left the house again to go train and headed to the GR. He had a strange feeling that his dreams would not be plagued by Frieza nor his home planet anymore, but rather the way Bulma looked at him. Her eyes were haunting as it is, but he was quite sure nothing would erase the way she looked at him with those eyes so full of tears. This woman was becoming a problem. She made him question his actions. Never before would he have to think of what to do in a situation. Quick actions were a necessity if you wanted to keep the upper hand in battles, whether they were of the battlefield or verbally with other fighters, or leaders of kingdoms. He actually thought of comforting her! No, this will not do. He would have to make her think that he did it for other purposes. A grin spread across his face. 'Little woman, thinking she can have a hold over me? Ha! I will show her!' He tried to justify his actions to himself even though he knew Bulma never claimed such a thing.
"I don't know mom." Bulma tried to explain her mother what happened. "All the security cameras are broken. Vegeta short-circuit them when he blew up the GR, but I have been so busy that I haven't fixed them. We can't even use them to see what happened. We will just have to wait till daddy wakes up." She shrugged. She suddenly didn't feel like doing much. Her mother must have seen this. "Why don't you go take a long relaxing warm bath? I will fix you some hot chocolate to help you relax." Her mother got up with a smile. Nothing ever seems to bother this cheerful woman. Giving her mother a sad smile, Bulma stood up and hugged her. "Please be careful mom. We don't know it the psycho who did this is still around nor do we know what he wanted." She let her mother go and wandered to the bathroom. She was just about to open the taps when a thought hit her. She turned and dashed out of the bathroom, down the stairs and out of the house. Running in to the lab, she scanned the place. "Just like I thought! The telescope is missing!"
