TY groaned, his head hurt like a bitch and he was freezing
'Son of a bitch…oh…man am I hurting'
Ty groaned, his head hurt like a bitch and he was freezing. His mind was on the sluggish side and he was having problems moving his arms, he slowly realized his arms were chained up behind and over his head. He blinked his eyes and moved his head around to gauge his surrounding and his own health status, 'one good thing manticore gave us'. When he looked down his own body, he found out that he was naked 'not much of a surprised there then! Man these guys just don't learn!'
He leaned to the side to test the strength of the chains when he felt white hot pain blast all down his left side, frantically looking down he saw a small penknife sticking out of his side, in between his ribs, his whole body was covered with small cuts and abrasions that were on their way to being fully healed, Ty hung there for a minute trying to figure out what happened 'we just found out that Max is Sue's daughter, Max pushed me and Sue into the elevator, we kissed, someone coughed, got knocked for six and apparently tortured…um…figures, SHIT! Where the hell is Sue?'
"Sue...Sue are you here with me?" Ty searched around the dark room frenetically to see her but he couldn't, he tried to calm down and focus all of his senses to locate her.
Soft breathing, he could hear soft breathing, granted it was shallow but he could still hear it, he could smell her, she was in the same room as him, he prayed to the blue lady that she was alright.
The lights flashed on in the room and startled Ty, making him blink rapidly. When he opened his eyes again he had to roll them. Of all of the stupid things, standing in front of them was Ames White.
Ames wasn't looking at Ty, he was looking in the far end corner, Ty knew that Sue was in that corner but couldn't bring himself to look at her, he closed his eyes only to open them in shock when he felt the knife in his side being twisted, and from the pain of that he guessed the knife as been in him for a while.
"You're not that smart you know 450, but then again you are a transgenic piece of trash, so forgive me if I'm not that surprised!" White walked around Ty and picked something up from the floor but hidden it before Ty had the chance to process what it was.
"Hey Ames, long time no see. Still got that high and mighty thing goin' for ya huh? I'd hate to tell you this but I don't think it's gonna get you a new woman, but now then it might get you a man or som…" Ames backhanded Ty across the face then pulled the penknife out of his side sadistically
"Transgenics do talk a lot, see, that's one of you many, many flaws" Ames lifted up the knife to Ty's eye level then slowly dragged it down his chest, cutting into his flesh. Ty could vaguely make out what he was carving into his chest, it was Max's designation, 452. Ames walked around Ty and started to carve into back, he counted two more designations and a symbol.
"Un-pure, filthy, vile, unnatural freaks, scum and not wanted, you will all die. You, 452, 494, 328 every one of you foul abominations"
Ames pulled a gun out of his pocket and raised it, pointing it straight at Ty's forehead, he pulled the trigger and Ty closed his eyes, wanting and accepting.
He heard the shot but he didn't feel anything, he could hear cursing and scuffling 'wait…unless I'm in hell I shouldn't be hearing things should I?' opening his eyes he saw Ames being held up against the wall looking like he couldn't breathe, he felt soft hands on his chest, looking down he looked straight into the brilliant blue eyes of Sue, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Sue.
"Ty, oh my… what did they do to you?" Sue was crying now and trying to set him free from his chains
"Nothing much…a cut here…a cut there, you know the usual!" Ty smirked at Sue and wiggled free of chains.
"You know for once I just wish that they wouldn't take my clothes off, not that I have anything to hide, it'd just make a nice change you know?" Sue nodded and laughed with Ty but then blushed realizing what Ty had just said.
"We ought to get you some clothes or something. Can't have you escaping in the nude now can we?" Ty chuckled and walked over towards White.
"I'm thinking maybe I should kill you and make it look like some sort of accident, or maybe render you brain dead, oh wait I can't do that since it's already been done. White, I should praise you for your audacity and superciliousness, also your desire to have your son back, but I'm not, you should learn by now that we ain't going nowhere, like it or not. Sooner or later you're gonna run outta chances, you'll come across one of us that really doesn't mind taking a life if necessary, maybe one like Mole who dreams about killing you, or Joshua who's just looking for that little bit of revenge. The only reason I ain't killed you myself is because Max told me not to"
Ty pulled his arms back and unleashed an extremely powerful punch to White's head, effectively knocking him unconscious.
"Hey Sue, we gotta come up with a plan" Sue paused in the middle of what she was doing.
"Um…what for?" Ty picked up the trousers that were put on the table to the side, obviously the Familiars didn't see the need to dispose of his gear. He got himself dressed but decided against putting the shirt back on 'it'll only stick to the cuts and open them back up, no point really!'
"We have to get Max and Alec together somehow, I mean, they like each other but are too scared to admit it, I need to help them. They're my best friends, they deserve to be happy, Logan ain't doing it for Max and Alec keeps himself hidden because of what happened with Rachel, it's killing both of them, so we have to come up with a plan" Ty nodded thoughtfully
"Okay…but how do you suppose we do that?" Sue looked unsure and doubtful
"Sue…we should…um…I think….um…you know what? I dunno know what to do, we transgenics never really are good with personal demons!" Ty shrugged and grinned sheepishly
"Maybe we should just talk to them?" Sue suggested, looking at Ty she noticed he hadn't put his shirt on, she promptly turned her head. Ty didn't notice.
"No it would never work, they're both as stubborn as each other, if anything would work it would be jealousy, it's the whole Mate thing!" Ty said while ripping the shirt up into bandages for his side
"You think Alec would be jealous and angry if say you or Johnny were to get a little closer to Max?" Sue had her head cocked to the side with a thoughtful frown marring her angelic features studying Ty
"Precisely, you see Sue, Alec effectively lives by the 'want, take, have' code, you know, Faith's code from Buffy? Him and his whole boob tube thing, actually I'm surprised he doesn't use the 5 by 5 phrase" Ty was smirking, he too liked that feral and dangerous attention-grabbing character from the extremely popular pre-pulse T.V show
"Wait…why don't you get Alec talking about past girlfriends or potential girlfriends, in front of Max, maybe we'll see her green side too"
"Honestly, I don't see how getting Alec to fess up about past 'get some and get gone' conquests is gonna do anything but piss Max off!" Ty finally managed to bandaged his side up
"Maybe, but I've learn that when people are generally angry, they tend to emit the truth more often then not" Sue looked away as soon as she said that
"Why am I sensing a back story here? Let me guess…you and Reed?" Sue nodded and wrapped her own arms around her mid-section feebly
"Yeah…kinda"
"Well, I'll tell you what, why don't you tell me all about it while we get out of this place" and with that, Ty managed to pry a cover off the window and help Sue get through it
--
Reed was sitting alone in the kitchen just looking out of the window at the New York he no longer recognised, too caught up with all the emotions and the new revelations he somehow didn't notice Ben enter the kitchen followed by Alec
"I'm surprised you're takin' it this well Reed, I mean you love Susie" Reed slightly jumped at hearing Ben's voice but managed to stifle the little yelp that was undoubtedly going to rear its ugly head
"Well I've thought about it Ben, I just don't seem to be able to make Sue happy anymore, and yes you are right, I do love Sue with all my heart and that's why I'm not 'freakin' out' like Johnny said. I just want her to be happy and I've never seen her has happy has she has been this past few days" Reed sighed dejectedly and slumped into his seat
"Ty does seem to have that effect on people, ever since I've known him no one really has said a bad thing about him. All the girls seem to love him back home, but Ty's a nice guy, he don't take advantage of that" Alec added his two cents and sat down next to Reed
"Alec, I swear I heard a lil' bit o' jealousy in there" Ben chuckled which to Alec sounded like a roar
"Maybe, I mean, I love Ty like a brother but, yeah, I'm jealous. Back home people know me as Max's Second In Command, they respect me because of my status back at Manticore, my REPUTATION, that's all. But with Ty, they just…I guess it has something to do with the DNA but still…HE gets what I want…HE gets to be the 'best male friend' and the 'shoulder to cry on' but I'm just the goddamn punching bag" Alec frowned and dropped his head to the table
Ben chuckled again and pulled up his seat and sat across from them, shaking his head sadly
"I though you guys are supposed to be smart an' all that, but lookin' at cha now, I gotta rethink that, do I really have to pound some sense inta ya'. Reed, I get that you're broken-hearted right now but Susie does deserve to be happy an' not play second string to science all the time. Alec get your head outta the sand for a sec and look, Max and Ty are friends yes, Ty can calm Max down and Max talks to Ty about personal things, but if you really look at them, it's more of a family thing between them" Alec grunted and Reed closed his eyes.
"Hey, you two are insanely jealous of Ty" Johnny chose that moment to walk in with Max, he had his arm slung over her shoulders and Alec had to control himself from launching at Johnny, Max laughed and pushed Johnny away from her and went to stand next to where Ben was sitting.
"What are they jealous about—?" Max was cut off as Sue rushed past them to get at the extensive first aid kit from under the sink, she got then ran straight back out. Dazed and confused the rest of them followed her out and into the living room seeing Ty sprawled out on the floor. Sue was gently removing the make shift bandages and cleaning the wounds, Max squatted down next to her and got the suture kit out of the box.
"Ty, what the hell happened to you?" Max started to stitch his side up and started to frown at the colour of his skin, he was pale, too pale
"Mom, how long has he been bleeding?" If Sue wasn't so upset at the condition of Ty she would have been shocked to hear Max call her 'mom' but she was too concerned with trying to help
"Umm. For a while now, about an hour or so" Max swore under her breath, she leaned over and kissed Ty on the forehead.
"I know you told me never to do anything like this but, with you being dumb enough to get into a situation like this, I'm gonna hafta" Max again leaned over and grabbed a transfusion kit from the case, setting her self up she gave Ty blood. Sue sat watching everything. After a while Max began to fall asleep so Alec walked forward and stopped the flow of blood, he picked Max up and placed her on one of the sofas, he walked back over to Ty.
"Hey, Johnny? Could you help me here?" Johnny walked over to his side and help Alec place Ty on an adjoining sofa. Sighing Alec walked into one of the bedrooms and returned with a couple of blankets tucked under his arm, he covered Ty in one then patted his head
"Hey Ty, you gotta get up soon, there showing them Angel episodes where Faith tries to kill him tonight, you promised me we'd watch them, so get your ass up soon" He smirked then walked over to Max, he gently covered her and tucked her in
"Jesus Max, I know I told you that you had a problem, that you had to save everybody but…I wish that you'd start to do it in a way that wouldn't cause you harm, I could of gave blood"
He turned around and beckoned Sue closer.
"I'm gonna stay here to look after Max, maybe you could stay and make sure Ty wakes up in time to see Faith kick some ass!" Sue smiled and settled down next to Ty, Alec turned on the TV while the rest of the group left them to it. Alec sat next to Max but didn't notice that she was awake, she snuggled into his side
"Faith huh? I would have thought that you'd prefer Buffy" Alec let out a startled gasp, opening his mouth to answer he was interrupted
"Nah…Buffy's no fun, Faith's much more entertaining and better to look at, and half of the things she says make me roll!"
"Ty you're awake, how you feeling?" Sue looked at Ty and Ty smiled back shifting slightly so Sue could get more comfortable.
"Five by Five Sue"Ty added and Sue laughed at the little joke
"Maybe so, Ty, what season do you prefer Faith in anyway? For me it's got to be the third one" Alec asked, they always got into things like this with stuff they've seen or heard
"Well I liked her in the seventh one" Max threw her thoughts into the mix
"Hey but do you like the character or the Actress?" Sue decided to join the game of Twenty Questions.
The whole night ended up them discussing Buffy and other projects that the Actors and Actresses have done in their careers, they never did see the Angel episode.
