Groaning, Bones opened his eyes and looked around. Instantly he realised he was laid on his side in an awkward position. Sitting up carefully, Bones examined his surroundings. He seemed to be in some kind of cell. As he turned to look behind him, he noticed a crumpled figure in a pool of blood. Jim. Quickly the doctor went to turn and move but pain shot through his legs. Looking to his ankle the doctor sore the swelling and bruising. Looks like a break… Swearing under his breath, the doctor pulled himself over to Jim as he muttered curses. As Bones reached Jims side, he noticed the dry blood more. Shit. The kids bleeding a lot. Turning Jim onto his back, Bones felt his heart strings tug as Jim whimpered. He never wanted to hurt the kid but he needed to check on him.
After observing Jim, he noticed a few more bruises and the blood was from his leg. Taking off his blue shirt, Bones used it as a tourniquet. Instantly as he tightened it around Jim's leg, a scream erupted through the cell. Jim had sat up, being brought to consciousness through the amount of pain. Bones quickly put a hand on Jim's shoulder and eased him backwards against his side as Jim fought hard not to yelp or whimper.
"Bones… We have to get out of here"
Jim looked to Bones with seriousness in his eyes, yet somewhere there was fear.
"Jim, we need to sort you out first, you have a hole in your leg, a nasty gash on your back and I can't quite go anywhere with my broken ankle."
Bones studied Jim's face that turned quickly to more fear and worry.
"Bones. We can't stay. He'll kill us. He'll torture us and starve us before killing us slowly"
Jim pushed Bones firm grip aside as he aided himself to stand with a loud gasp as pain shot through his leg and back. Bones stared at Jim with worry. He had never seen his friend, his captain act so irrational like this. Hell, Jim liked to get into trouble, but this was him trying to escape trouble with any means. Using the wall behind him Bones slowly stood, favouring his left leg as he hopped to Jim. Pain throbbed through his legs but he knew he would have to bear with it. As Bones went to try talk sense into Jim, the cell door opened behind them. Jim's face seemed to manage a more whiter of a shade as a man dressed as if he was Shakespeare entered the cell with two security guards.
"Ah Jimmy, it's good to see you awake"
Jim growled and clenched his mouth. Bones watched as Jim quickly turned wild.
"Kodos."
Bones stared at Jim in misbelief, then looked to the main Jim called Kodos. Was he truly the executioner? The man that killed half of his colony in a rational way to save himself and others from starving to death? And how did Jim even manage to know him?
"So good to see you again Jimmy. I know you're a little fighter but I never expected you to receive the rank of captain"
Chuckling to himself Kodos walked to Jim who stiffened.
"Well well Jimmy. Time to come home. Son."
Jim took the opportunity to jump at Kodos throwing him to the ground.
"I am not your son!"
Punches collided with the man's face and body before being ripped off by the security guards who threw their punches and Jim heavily against the wall with a thud. Groaning Jim looked to Kodos with stars spinning around his head. Slowly Kodos got up and wiped his mouth.
"I see you still hold your strong punches and wildness Jimmy."
Bones jumped up to run over to Jim but collided with two strong arms. Kodos laughed as his guards held onto a fighting Bones trying to get to his friend.
"Remember how you ran away from being executed young Jimmy? I saw a wild side of you that day. The flare of fire as my guards shot your family dead. The day you took those children from me and stole from those who needed their food. You were one fighter James. Even when tortured I saw you as a son. And soon I will claim you as a son"
Jim growled and went to attack Kodos again but instead a fist from the man connected with Jim's face. Slamming to the ground Jim groaned as he tried to stay conscious.
"I warn you now boy. You are in for it this time. First I'll torture you slowly as you know. Then both you and your friend will starve before I torture him"
Kodos ordered his men to let go of Bones and to grab Jim. Instantly Bones felt reliable for the kid. He hopped his way ignoring the sheer pain radiating through his right ankle.
"If you are going to torture anyone it's me. You'll leave Jim alone you hear me? You are to harm me and me only. If you even try and harm him anymore I swear to god, I'll kill you with my bare knuckles"
Bones stood in a position ready to fight. He glared at the man in front ready to go with him if it meant keeping Jim from harm.
"Very well, guards bring him. We'll see how easy it will be to break this one. I wonder if he'll scream like our Jimmy did"
Bones followed the guards instantly, cries from Jim begging him to not go echoed behind him.
"No Bones! I'm the one to suffer! Not you. Take me Kodos. You know it's me you want"
Smirking Kodos's men slammed the door behind them before pushing the doctor forwards and yelling for him to walk. Bones took one look at Jim and nodded, before being pushed around the corner.
