Sonic rushed back to his house, carrying Shadow. He needed to hurry. "S-Sonic.", Shadow's voice was weak and shaky
"Save your energy Shadow, don't talk."
"I-I need t-to tell y-you s-some-something." Sonic couldn't hear Shadow over the noise of the wind. He slid to a stop in front of the workshop. He rushed Shadow inside and set him down on the couch. Tails wasn't home, he had gone out to help with damage control on the city. Sonic rushed into the kitchen. There was a first-aid kit in there. Sonic wasn't very good at medicine, but he did know the basics. He came back to Shadow and took a clean rag out of the kit. He dabbed it in disinfectant, and began to clean Shadow's wounds.
Shadow groaned as Sonic rubbed his wounds with the rag. He coughed up blood that had pooled in his lungs. Sonic was done disinfecting the wounds. He put pressure on all the major wounds, to stop bleeding. He then searched through Shadow's fur to see if he missed anything. He took the bandages from the kit, and began to wrap Shadow's wounds. HeShadow looked to his right and noticed a glass of water. "W-water.", he coughed. Sonic grabbed the glass, propped Shadow up, and helped him gulp it down. He set the glass down and finished off the bandaging.
"Done. How you feeling Shads?"
"F-Fine." He coughed up blood again. "I'm h-hungry."
"What do you want?"
"S-Some soup w-will b-be fine." Sonic walked into the kitchen and searched through the cabinets for a can of soup. He pulled out a can and opened it up. He poured it into a bowl and put the bowl in the microwave. The soup heated up, and Sonic hamded it to Shadow. "Bon appetite." Shadow didn't bother with the spoon, he slurped it all down in an instant. "So, what did Eggman want?" Shadow looked ashamed. "Shads? What happened?"
"H-He used a m-machine th-that used m-my chaos e-energy against m-me." Shadow coughed. "He in-interrogated me. H-he got me to t-tell h-him the lo-location of-" Shadow coughed up blood this time.
"Shadow, wait. You can tell me after you rest." Sonic helped make him comfortable and put a blanket over him. "Get some shut-eye." He left the room. Shadow was left to think about the information he gave Robotnik...and what Sonic had said during the battle.
