«We Could be Heroes»

Gage blinked into the bright lights, smell of cleaning fluids, and the sound of shoes on tile. The hospital. Again.
He groaned as he shifted on the mattress, and noticed tubes running from his arms. As he slowly came back into awareness, he noticed the room was the same. As was the nurse with the clipboard who was shaking her head in the doorway.
As he tried to grin, she held a hand up, "Save your breath." She said, "you need to rest."
Gage grinned anyway. "Question. Where are my friends? And the soldiers, are they here? What about Misty? Oh cr-" Misty. When was the last time he had seen her? Was she alright? He couldn't even remember how he had gotten out of the police station.
The nurse cocked her head. The last time he had come in here with a boy, and he had muttered that name in his sleep almost psychotically. She shook her head, "Don't worry about that right now. Go back to sleep."
Gage did not go back to sleep.
 
The rain roared on the balcony outside.

Gage looked her full in the face, all fear gone. "Have you seen death? Have you a criminal record? Have you cried yourself to sleep from killing your first man? Have you heard a grown man cry for his mother? Have you seen a white man's body turn black with death? Tell me. I would love to know."

Tayn's eyes were saucers had Gage Killed some one before she wondered

"Gage! NO ONE IS GOING TO KILL HIM SHUT UP!!!!" River howled and pushed thoughts and memorys from her head "I`ll make him shut up if he doesn`t! he doesn`t evven think! He does not even know..."

"I have all those things" Misty says, "do you know what its like having your ENTIRE, family slaughtered in front of you?!" EVEN YOUR MOST BELOVED BROTHER," I have died Gage, died on the inside but do you see me crying about it? NO I move on!"

Misty looks dead into Gage's eyes as she starts to tear up. "Have you been orphaned since you were three?" she asks her voice breaking, "have you seen Hell with your own eyes? I have" she answers her own question.

River tears had tears in her eye she blinked them away "Shut up, Gage, you don`t even know what I have also been through," her voice was so cold she was shocked

He sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose, and stood there a moment. His voice quivered "I- I'm sorry guys. I'm just... I'm scared. I don't want anyone to get hurt." He let his hand fall to his leg with a slap and he cast an apologetic look to Misty, "I'm sorry for digging up your bones. I just..." he giggled nervously and picked his hand back up again to rub the back of his neck. "I just got all that from war movies." He said quietly.

Misty's tears dissipate and in so much rage she slaps him across the face "YOUR A FREAKING IDIOT" She roars "I have been through hell and back and you try to joke with me?" She now starts to cry she sheaths her sword and transforms into her wolf form and runs upstairs with Rex.

"Now look Gage!" River turned and followed her

He cursed under his breath. "I would have let her beat me up..."
Ah, memories ^_^
 
Tayn picked herself up off the sidewalk. Her legs ached but they needed to get River and Misty to the hospital. Jayne had managed to find a couple of police officers that were willing to drive them over. (How many people need a ride? I dont think we would all fit in one car.)
 
(poke poke poke)

Gage groaned and sat up awkwardly. The weight was somehow different. What-? He glanced back, and all he saw was the bedboard and the wall. He turned his head the other way, with the same result. Face growing hot, he tried to reach back and feel his back. Just a plain hospital shirt. Then a long pause, and he glanced up at the nurse, his face stained with defeat.
"They're really gone... aren't they?" He croaked, at last admitting it. Then his voice lowered to a whisper, "I had hoped it was just a dream."
 
Misty falls to the ground and looks around, everyone either has a look of worry or defeat on their faces. This look, Misty was all to familiar with, Grant had that look once, only once, back on Elemians when Maru was taking over. She realizes now that that look of defeat... That final hug and goodbye... Was his last, Misty didnt understand it at first, she thought it was just a 'see you later' but now she knows, it was a final goodbye. Tears fall from Misty's eyes.
Trust betrayed
Loved ones gone
Even though Maru is dead, something is still missing.
I need to finally finish this
But first
I need to be by a friends side

Misty jumps up and wipes the blood and tears from her face, shifts into Wolf form, and bolts down the route that the ambulance took, following Gage's scent.
