Jethro lets out a nervous/tired growl as Duck approaches him with a plastic cross. He cringes at the metal is placed above his skin and cries out it is placed on his arm, burning him yet again.
Duck jumps and removes the item before taking notes "Well...the crosses in all shape and form work in burning Vampires but doesn't kill them"
The Vampire snarls as he tries to break out of the chair only to still in fear as the blind is slowly drawn, causing Sunlight to sneak into the room. He begins to panic as the light slowly edges towards him and he frantically tugs at the metal bonds, that hold him in the chair, while a bloody tear of panic falls down his face. His head snaps up as he hears Jack finally waking up, after a week of being out cold and he calls out "Jack! Quick Jack!"
Jack stumbles into the room at the sound and his eyes widen in shock at the sight before him. He quickly shakes himself out of it and quickly runs over to draw the blinds "What is going on here!? I thought that you weren't going to kill him!?"
Ducky shakes his head "I wasn't going to kill him...I was just wanting to watch his reaction to Sunlight as I have tested all the other methods of the Myths"
Jethro looks up as Jack approaches him and smiles "Y-You ok Jack? D-Do you still hurt?"
Jack sighs "I'm fine...it's just a bit tender to breathe too deeply" with that he lifts a hand to wipe away the bloody tear, only to narrow his eyes in anger as he spots the burnt crosses on the Vampires skin and decides that enough is enough.
Ducky watches in shock as Jack releases the Big Bad Bat and he steps back as the Vampire stretches out before walking over to nuzzle the mans neck.
Jack chuckles at the gesture and pushes at the strong chest "Do to bed...it's past your bedtime"
Jethro yawns and nods but before he goes, he turns to glare at the Doctor in hate and only then slinks off.
Jack watches him go before turning back to the Doctor "You are lucky that I woke when I did...otherwise he'd have broken that chair and promptly ripped you apart before going on a killing spree!"
Ducky frowns "He has already attempted to break free of the chair and has failed"
The man sighs as he glances at the blinds "He is afraid of the Sunlight...not just from being a Vampire" he lifts a hand to run it through his hair "It when he went through the ten years of torture...he associates Sunlight with unimaginable pain that he still doesn't understand how he survived" with that he turns to face the man "You see, his torturers came at Dawn and began the torture right up until Dusk...he only found peace in darkness"
The Doctor gives him a thoughtful look "He told you about this?"
Jack smirks "I found out the hard way" he takes a seat as he begins his Story
'He gazes at the sleeping Vampire and sighs at the peaceful look on his face. He gets up and gently stokes the cold skin of Jethros face while whispering "I never Thanked You for saving my life last year" a smile crosses his face "Thank-You Jethro" with that he backs away and leaves the dark room.
Jack hums to himself as he begins to tidy up the house and smiles as he catches sight of the Sunlight through the window. He decides that as it's such a lovely day, he'll open up the house and let the light in to freshen up the place.
Jethro twitches in his sleep as he notices the room lighten. He slowly opens his eyes and freezes at the sight of the yellow Sunlight. He snaps his head up go look at the other bed and begins to panic as Jack is nowhere to be seen.
Jack jumps as he hears a cry of anguish and sorrow. He runs into the Bedroom and stills at the sight of the powerful Vampire, curled up into a ball in the furthest corner of the room and watches as he begins to rock. He moves without thought and runs over.
Jethro stills as he feels hands tugging at him and he lets out a sob as he roughly pushes at the person "NO! I'm not going back! I'd rather kill myself then go through that again!" with that he dashes under the bed and begins to rock once more.
Jack grunts as he hits the opposite wall and slowly picks himself up "Jethro? Jethro no-one is going to take you!" he cautiously peers under the bed to watch the unfocused bloody blue eyes gazing into nothing. He bites his bottom lip and clicks his fingers as he tries to get the gaze to focus on him.
The Vampire snaps out of his memories and looks up, only to quickly reach out and tug Jack under the bed with him.
He grunts as he hits the floor and yelps in shock, tinged with pain, as he is squeezed under the Vampire while Jethro places a hand over his mouth
"Shhh! Don't let them hear you!" he looks up as he hears someone approaching the front door and jumps as he hears a noise but calms the footsteps leave "You won't survive the pain they will inflict on you!"
Jack inwardly cringes at the slightly crazy bloodied blue eyes that gaze down at him and slowly nods, sighing in relief as the hand is removed from his mouth and he spends the rest of the daylight hiding under the bed with a nervously twitching Vampire'
Jack sighs as he gazes in the direction of the Bedroom where Jethro is now sleeping "After that day...I always closed the Bedroom door and blocked the Sunlight from disturbing him" he turns to Duck "It's the only thing he fears...it's not the burning and death...it's the fear of his torturers returning for him" he runs a hand down his face "Even though there's none of them left alive, as he killed them all...including his Sire" he shakes his head "He even wiped out the nearby Village in his hurry to get far away from his terrible memories...but Thankfully there was no children involved, it was only men who lived there...they were getting ready to go to War"
Duck sighs as he looks over the Big Bad Bats file "None of this is mentioned in his file...it states that General Jethro Leroy Gibbs was held captive and tortured for five years, not the ten, before being turned and killing his captors" he shakes his head "He has gone through hard times...but it is no excuse for killing Innocents"
Jack nods "I've been trying to stop his killing sprees...it has worked up to a point"
He nods in agreement "Not as many deaths are caused by him any mo-"
They both go quiet as they hear a sorrow filled howl that echoes through the rooms.
Jack sighs "And it starts" with that he stands, gesturing for Duck to stay behind him as they approach the door.
Jethro snaps his head up as two men enter his vision. He lets out a strangled sob before dashing across the room and onto the floor, he curls up and begins a rocking motion as he covers his head with his arms in a defensive gesture.
Ducky watches in shock "He does this every time he catches sight of Sunlight?" at the other mans nod, he turns back to face the rocking Vampire "Amazing...I have never heard of anything like this!"
Jack sighs "Come lets leave him to it...I'm not as young as I once was and I can't hide under the bed until Dusk anymore"
They turn as one to face the door as a pissed Tony stalks in.
Tony storms past them both and heads for the Vampire, only to pause at the sight before him. He rolls his eyes as he reaches out and tugs at the arm.
Jethro snaps and roughly pushes at the strong chest "NO! I'm not going back! I'd rather kill myself then go through that again!" with that he scrambles away and dashes under the bed.
Tony grunts as he hits the floor. He lets out a growl and heads for the bed. He bends down and narrows his eyes at the nervous hiss that greets him before shaking his head as he reaches under the bed and tugs out the freaked Vampire out by his leg.
Jethro panics as he tries to escape but fails as he is tugged out. He goes to attack his torturer...only to end up pressed against a strong chest and held tight while a hand pets his hair before being lifted onto the bed and into someones lap. He frowns and tries to pull away but is unable to get himself free.
Tony sighs in relief as Jethro stops fighting and softly smirks as he feels him begin to relax against him. He looks down and silently chuckles as he kisses the silver hair "You back with us now?"
He starts at the voice and carefully looks around while repeating in a slightly crazy voice "The light...beware the light...The light...beware the light"
Tony frowns and holds him close, to stop him from hurting someone...and to settle an unknown need that has awaken within his chest.
Jethro feels himself drifting off but tries to fight it...but fails and slowly sinks into a deep sleep, as for some reason...he feels Safe within his Predators arms.
The Hunter smirks as the weight becomes heavily and he gently loosens his grip as he gazes down at the Vampire with a warm smile...not noticing the two men that are watching him, one with a joyous smile while the other has a look of worry written across his face as they both gaze at him with the Big Bad Bat.
