"Mr.Khan? We will be arriving at Cape Suzette in approximately one hour."

"Excellent. Are my men waiting for my arrival?"

"Yes sir. There will be a limo ready for you as soon as we land."

"And the doctor?"

"He has yet to arrive."

"Notify me as soon as possible on his arrival."

"Yes sir."

Khan leaves the captain to head back to his private quarters. There is a guard standing in

front of his door and allows Khan to pass. As Khan enters there is a medic sitting on the

edge of the beautiful red silk covered bed which Karnage has been bounded to.

"How is he?"

The medic puts a hand to Karnage's head and uses a towel to wipe away the sweat

covered forehead.

"Terrible. He keeps slipping in and out of consciousness; he has a high fever, his eyes

have become diluted, and he's bleeding from the mouth which could mean internal

injuries."

"We can't lose him. Make sure he stays alive."

As Khan turns to leave he is stopped by the medic.

"If you want that than you need to lie with him and keep him close and warm. It's been

proven to help calm the nerves and reduce tension which might bring down the fever."

Khan stares at the medic in all seriousness.

"(Sigh) Leave us be doctor."

The medic nods and walks out. Khan locking the doors goes into his closet and pulls out

a huge thick blanket. He puts on his black silk pajamas and pulls out another pair. He

slowly walks to the bed to find Karnage shaking violently. He walks up to the captain

and slowly and softly caresses his cheeks. Karnage desperately tries to open his eyes, but

can't. Instead he lets out a painful moan. Khan can see that Karnage was still naked. He

lifts the pirates head trying to get him in an upright position. Khan knew this wasn't

going to be easy having Karnage wobble back and forth. As Khan puts the shirt on him

he can clearly see the damages that he has conflicted on the pirate. He avoids eye contact

knowing perfectly well that if Karnage was able to he would have killed him instantly.

As the shirt is placed he slowly and carefully puts the pants on. All Karnage could do is

close his eyes painfully as Khan slowly separates Karnage's legs. This was the worst part

for Khan. The damages here were a lot worst. He knew Karnage would need stitches in

several areas, but now he might even need surgery. When he was done he laid the pirate

down and laid next to him. He covered them with his new found blanket. He turned to

his side to face Karnage. Karnage's eyes were half open and slowly closing. Khan puts

his arm under Karnage and one over to put him into a hug. Khan desperately wanted to

keep the pirate warm. Karnage's face was pressed against the tiger's heart and forced to

hear its beats. He can feel Khan laying a small kiss on top of his. Karnage felt so

humiliated and weak and there was nothing that he can do to fix that. Khan was about to

fall asleep but is awaken when he felt something wet on his chest. He stares down to find

that Karnage was finally asleep…and crying.
