A knock at the door wakes him. His eyes fight to remain close but lose the battle as he

puts all of his attention towards the door.

"Excuse me sir, but we will be landing very shortly."

Khan sits up to stretch as he stands he pauses to find something is weighing him down.

"(Karnage…)"

He stared at the beaten pirate that lay across his lap. Khan slowly lifts the pirate and

shifts him to the other side of the bed. Khan walks and reaches in his closet a suit. He

dresses himself as they arrive at Cape Suzette. There is another knock at the door.

"Sir? We have reached our destination. Please prepare for landing."

With that Khan sits in his chair and buckles up. Khan remains silent as his eyes refuse to

stray away from the pirate.

"(I hate you…)"

The plane slowly lands and arrives at Cape Suzette's airport. Khan's men are in high

alert and rush into Khan's room.

"Sir, these are your bodyguards. Your limo is outside and waiting." Khan slowly stands

and puts on a trench coat with his hat. He passes the bodyguards and walks towards his

bed. He wraps the blanket around Karnage and lifts him from the bed.

"And the doctor?"

"He is waiting for you at your office."

Some couldn't help but stare at the pair. To see Karnage in such a vulnerable state would

seem impossible. Before Khan could step out of the plane a couple of his guards stop

him.

"Sir they're reporters out there waiting for you. I think it would be best if we take

Karnage out back."

Khan stops and slowly faces the guard.

"Karnage is no simple pirate. To hold him would mean his defeat and downfall and if I

remember correctly you had no part in that."

The guards back off as Khan continues to walk towards his limo. As soon as the plane

doors open flash of light bulbs fill the scene. Hungry reporters ambush the tiger but are

push back by his guards.

"Mr.Khan! Is it true that you have waged war on the pirates!?"

"Mr.Khan! Why are you doing this!?"

"Mr.Khan! Is this the end for Cape Suzette!?

"Mr.Khan! What's under that blanket!?"

Khan ignores the wave of reporters as he heads towards his limo.

An enraged reporter pushes through the crowd and he nearly gets into Khan's face.

"HOW DARE YOU! ARE YOU NOT GOING TO ANSWER AT LEAST ONE

QUESTION!? YOUR ACTIONS HAVE ENDANGERED ALL OF CAPE SUZETTE

AND YOU'RE JUST GOING TO BRUSH US OFF!? WE WANT ANSWERS!"

With Khan completely giving him the cold shoulder he reaches out and pulls the blanket.

"Fine you won't give us answers! Then I'll just have to get them!"

With the blanket pulled so are the colors in every reporters face. The enraged reporter

steps back in disbelief.

"Karnage?"

Without another word Khan's guards knock the reporter out. The driver opens the door

to all the tiger to enter his limo with captive in stow.

"Back to my headquarters ASAP."

"You got it Mr.Khan sir."

The drive seemed forever, but soon enough they arrive at Khan's towers. Guards

approach the limo with heavy artillery and follow Khan into the building. The men hold

the elevator but are stopped.

"I will go on here alone."

"But sir…"

Khan ignores them and enters the elevator alone. With Karnage in his arms he presses

the top button. He holds Karnage close as the elevator rises.

"(I hate you…)"

"Why?"

The elevator rings and the doors open. His secretary stands about to greet her boss but is

in shock to see what he brought home.

"Mr.Khan…the doctor is there waiting for you."

Khan ignores her and continues to walk into his room.

"No calls today."

"Yes sir."

The doors close behind him.

"On."

The lights grow power and light up his large private quarters. He walks to his bedroom

and finds the doctor waiting.

"Mr.Khan, if you could lay him on the bed I can begin as soon as possible."

Khan carefully places the pirate on the bed and turns to leave.

"I will make you mine Karnage. I always get what I want."

He lights up the fireplace to heat up the room and leaves.
