Insert usual disclaimers here. Sorry this one is so short, but it kinda fits in with the plot. More soon!
"Allura!"
Keith bolted upright, frantically trying to figure out where he was.
"Keith! Keith! Take it easy, you're safe."
Keith ignored the voice, and struggled to get the wires and tubes off of him. "I have to find Allura! He wants us dead! I have to find her!" The machines connected to him started to beep wildly.
He felt hands pushing him back down and fought against them. "Keith! Calm down! You're on Arus, in sick-bay!"
"NO! Stay away from me!" Keith pushed himself up again, fighting free of the arms holding him back.
"Get me a sedative, MOVE!"
"No, wait, let me talk to him." Keith felt some one take his hand. "Keith, honey, relax. Don't make us sedate you."
Keith started to relax, marginally. "Aunt…Aunt Brenda?"
"Yes honey, it's me. That's it, relax." She said soothingly.
Keith waited until the room started to come into focus. "Where…where am I?" He asked hoarsely, his breathing still ragged.
"You're in the Castle, on Arus. You're safe Keith, you're safe." Brenda told him.
Dr. Gorma switched off the monitors. "Have you got this under control Brenda?" She nodded. "I'll let you be then. General, welcome back." He left the room.
"How?…When?…I don't…"
"Easy honey." She took his wrist in her hands and took his pulse. "You're all right Keith. What do you remember?"
Keith frowned in concentration. "The battle…There was a Robeast, no two...Dad! Where's my father!" Keith struggled to his feet again, but Brenda held him back down.
"Keith, you stay down on that bed or so help me, I'll sedate you again." Brenda's tone booked no argument and Keith relaxed. "That's better. Your father is going to be fine. He broke his back in the crash, but we repaired his spinal cord and expect a full recovery."
Keith shook his head, trying to clear the cobwebs. "Lance…Lance, Dorma and Allura. They rescued me. Where are they?" He demanded.
"Keith, they're fine. They're up in the Control Room, wrapping things up." She told him.
"Haltor…Haltor! He wants revenge! Haggar's alive, she's been helping him plan this for years." He pushed himself up again, only to discover he wasn't wearing a stitch of clothing. Red flooded his features. "Aunt Brenda…"
"Please Keith, I am a doctor, not to mention I've been seeing you naked since the day I delivered you. Now sit back down." Keith sat down, carefully pulling the sheet up around him. Brenda chuckled. "The battle is over. Haltor set off some kind of self-destruct and destroyed the base. Jeff has his Team out searching the rubble for any survivors."
Keith looked up sharply. "Jeff? What's he doing here?"
"He's been here since right before this all started. He was planning on taking the kids back to Earth, but instead, got thrown into our mess."
"The kids…Wait a minute, Troi! Troi was hurt! Where's Aria? And Allura?" Keith demanded.
"Honey, calm down. You've been through alot and you need time to recover. The kids are fine. All of them. Troi, in fact, helped with your rescue mission."
Keith lay back wearily. "This is all so confusing…"
"I know it is honey." Brenda smiled and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. "Just lay back and rest. I've got a few more things I need to check on. Can I get you anything?" She asked, starting towards the door.
Keith lay still a moment. "Aunt Brenda?"
Something in his tone made her pause. "Yes honey?"
"I can't see."
