The Final Frontier
The last thing she'd heard before tumbling into the portal of doom had been Andrew letting out a terrified shriek. The last words she'd heard were "Kit, no!" from Dawn. And the last thing she'd felt was Carlos' hand slipping through hers.
The first thing she'd felt after falling through the portal was the hard metal floor, and the painful snap of three of her fingers. The first sounds that she heard was a woman screaming and a man yelling. The first word she heard was "Huh." as she slipped into the black.
When she woke up, she was in a brightly lit antiseptic room. Her left arm throbbed painfully and her eyes started to water. She groaned and tried to sit up, only to hear the faint click of a gun's hammer slip into position.
"Jayne, put that away," a woman snapped.
"No gorram-ruttin' way. That there thing fell outta the ship's hull!" A man replied gruffly.
"Ow, ow, ow, please don't shoot me," Kit groaned.
"I need to check her vitals," Kit blinked at found herself staring at good looking dark haired man in a sweater.
"Check away," Kit murmured.
"Where did she come from?" A brown haired girl asked, peeking around the man that someone had called Jayne.
"Dude, you've got a girl's name," Kit muttered, taking in the impressive size of the man. "Course, you're so not a girl."
"Now that we've got Jayne's name outta the way, mind telling us where you came from and how you ended up face down on my boat?" A man wearing suspenders and a pair of the tightest pants she'd seen in a long time, had his hands on his hips, reminding her vaguely of Buffy Summers.
"You must be the leader," Kit said to herself.
"No, I'm the captain, and you haven't yet explained how you got on my boat," The captain pursed his lips.
"There was a demon," Kit started to say. "I mean a bad guy, and he, he um, threw a spell curse thing-y at me and there was Carlos. My hand it slipped and then I was free falling then I - what's that?"
The doctor, or who she thought was a doctor swabbed at the inside of her elbow. Was he reaching for a needle?
"I don't like needles, please don't I -" Kit started to shriek irrationally, flailing out her legs and her arms, she tried to fight it. But the needle slipped beneath her skin and her shoulders were pushed back by Jayne and the Captain. "No, please."
Kit muttered three words before drifting into unconsciousness.
"Portals, demons." The last word was a breathy whisper, "Carlos."
