Title: Lest He Becomes Part 2
A/N: Well at least I updated sooner this time, well I did have 'so much' time on my hands because of this stupid strike
RECAP: All Brennan could do was notify Emma and Adam. All he could say was "Kali is in trouble" before complete and total darkness overcame him.
Chapter 13: So Many Burns
Joey had taken Kali to a large hospital type warehouse (no its not a mental institution) and placed her hands and legs in chains, he also positioned a fire scorcher in a place where when Kali opened her eyes it would be the first thing she saw. Joey sat himself behind the scorcher so he would be the second thing she saw; he was admiring how beautiful she was when Kali started to stir.
She could feel the metal around her wrists and ankles and wondered what the hell Joey wanted with her now. She could smell him and he smelt as disgusting and musky, she hated that smell, as ever. She didn't want to open her eyes because she knew he had some type of weapon to torture in her hands.
"Where the hell am I?" Kali asked still clutching her eyes shut.
"No where that concerns you, why don't you open your eyes?" Joey asked coldly.
"Don't want too, if I know you it's really bad, or you're about to hurt/torture me" Kali confessed.
"Oh no I won't" Joey lied with a sadistic grin.
Kali slowly opened her eyes only to see Joey right behind a scorcher and shuddered with fear of the fire. Joey just started to laugh maniacally and almost fell out of his chair. He got up and walked towards her only to be consumed by her spit.
"Oh are you going to be sorry" he spat and picked up the scorcher and pressed the trigger and placed the flame above her skin and didn't stop until she had a 2nd degree burn.
Brennan had been awake for a few hours now and was pacing across the room, worrying about Kali. Lexa had been chasing her sources, Emma was searching for Kali, Jesse had been looking to see if Joey had a mutant file and Adam was trying to look for a coffin for Nick, since he died in his sleep the day before. Emma and Jesse had been checking their sources for at least 10 minutes and finally gave up; Emma was now lying in the lap of Jesse asking herself 'what will Brennan do if Joey kills her?'
"Do you think we will find her?" Emma asked with tears welling up in her eyes.
"I know we will" Jesse answered with a tone of determination in his voice.
"No, I mean do you think we'll find her alive?" she asked again finally allowing the tears to flow from her eyes.
"I hope so" Jess said with a little less determination.
"Ugh" Lexa groaned in anger, stomping out of the computer room and into the lounge.
"Anything" Brennan pleaded.
"No, apparently Joey has done this with a number of girls that are new mutants" she groaned again, almost trying to pull out her hair in frustration.
"Ahhh" Emma screamed as she finally connected with Kali, she was definitely in pain.
"What… What's wrong?" Jesse urged.
"I know where she is, she's in pain" Emma gasped starting to cry again.
"Shh" Jesse soothed, kissing her forehead softly.
They all ran into the Helix and started to listen to Emma's directions. It had been about 45 minutes before Brennan was getting impatient.
"We're there" Emma finally said before helping Jesse land the long vehicle.
They landed at a warehouse type place and they ran to the room that Emma described and opened the door to find Joey with a weapon that uses fire and Kali on the floor with way too many 1st and 2nd degree burns on her body.
Lexa threw a lightning bolt at Joey and it smacked him straight in the chest and then she ran to check his pulse and found none, Joey was dead. Brennan ran to the side of Kali, who's face was filled with 1st degree burns you couldn't really see her freckles, the very few she had. Otherwise she had first and second degree burns all over her body.
It had been a day since they found Kali and they were shocked at what they saw. Kali had been flown to Sanctuary and hooked up to various monitors to keep her alive, her breathing was fine but she lost a lot of blood. Brennan was really on edge, he was very close to lose the woman he loved once again, and for some reason that pissed him off so he took it out on Emma and Lexa. From the time he spent in the lab, which was practically 24/7 (he spent about 2 hours out of the lab everyday).
Brennan had moved into the lab when everyone was asleep and sat beside Kali and placed her hand inside his, and eventually fell asleep. He finally awoke when Kali's hand was pulled from his in urgency. His first thought was that someone pulled her hand out of his grasp because she had an emergency… but what he saw was much different.
He saw Kali standing up on the other side of the med bed with the monitors no longer attached to her, she had woke up and every time he moved toward her, she flinched away and when she had enough she finally ran to her room.
A/N: Oh my god I updated quicker than usual; must be because of the strike. I'm sorry that I didn't really cover Nick's death but I didn't really see the point. Oh and if you want my email address it's Don't forget to review they are really necessary.
