Taken (Closed Story)

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon lay there, broken arm, cuts and bruises everywhere. He had shut down again. He had done it once before in a fight against Unfettered. This time one could say he seemed, Hasty to do it. But he was in the care of a health fascition once again. But he was left alone for a little bit, which wasn'ty good as some thing was lurking in the room. Someone had been watching that battle. someone was collecting from that more than others, and that was bad.

[Oki W. Nanda]

Oki came in, today Yuanji was taking care of the twins- she felt very unsure of herself with this time alone without her children...without something else to do besides inventory and paperwork. She entered her office, leaving the door unlocked having become a very bad habit- her nose twitched and she picked up the familiar scents associated with injury without treatment.

She picked up a chart, looked the student over, Leon Sudeki. Heart issues. Fighter. She sighed, grabbing a few things and going to him, "Seems he's been playing a bit too rough." But yet again she was talking to herself.

Oki was a quick worker, checking what he was allergic to, setting up her needles and materials- she didn't go to medical school for nothing after all. cleaning a spot on his arm, she injected a tiny tiny amount of Morphine. Don't ask how she had it, she just knew a guy and liked to keep her drugs well stocked though she had long got that habit out of her system. She set to cleaning him up a bit, removing any blood she found over wounds. She sighed, "What a mess."

She touched his arm, shook her head as the bones stayed limp. It needed to be set- but since he wasn't awake she wouldn't press it too far. She cleaned it up a bit...then made some tea. Pulling up a chair by him she blew on the tea, passing the warmth and the soft scent of green tea his way. What a pain. he should be awake telling her where it hurt.

[Sean Barker]

And in walked Sean. Brown hair, dark black eyes, tribal tattoo's. Obviousely Yakuza tattoos. Black vest, cargo pants, camo. Zip up boots. fighting gloves. Older than a student. Oh yeah, suspicious. He'd walk towards the injured boy and the female, obviousely she was the school nurse. He'd put his hands on his hips and look over the two. He had an odd looking smile on his face.

"Hello there. Seems you have something that belongs to me."

Well this wasn't always a statement people would like to hear. He nodded in the direction of the injurred boy. Maybe she would be concerned about his injuries, but in all honesty, Sean knew of this kids amazing recovery abilities, so he'd simply say.

"My people will take care of his wounds, but I need him back."

[Oki W. Nanda]

Oki heard the door open, hadn't set her hot tea down but had quite the instead stood up and looked the man over. Holding the saucer with great poise in one hand...Paddle in the other hand as he had been simply waiting by her side. Yakuza tattooing. Bad air around him, despite the smile. She found her nose wrinkling for a moment- then face relaxing.

Oki returned his smile, with her own, "Apologies to you, but you are not of immediate family- nor are you on the contact list- of this I am sure as I haven't called anyone. Oki would appreciate if he waited outside until the duckling has woken up. And expressed his contact wish. If he tells her his name, she'll inquire as such to the duckling."

[Sean Barker]

"I was hoping you would co-operate. Zack didn't tell me how stubern you where."

He'd pat his hip twice, which was the signal. People entered, more of them, and they had tranqualizer rifles. He closed his eyes and shook his head.

"This was a precaution in bringing in the expirament, so I really don't want him awake, and I really dont want to have them to use the stuff on you. Please, back away and let me take whats mine."

They circled around against the walls, keeping distance. Making sure they would be able to hit Oki if she attacked. Sean just stayed the way he was, that cocky smile still on his face. His eye brows in a position to offer concern. As false as that was, he really wanted her to attack, he mite get good data out of it.

[Oki W. Nanda]

Zach...tears welled for a moment...how did he know Zach...why did his name pass those lips? She shook for a bare second- her only weakness...as he...she still missed him. Damn it. Oki's eyes narrowed.

Looking over the situation carefully...she held onto paddle, and her tea. She looked Leon Sudeki over...she was glad for the pre-prepared needle of adrenaline in her pocket. She always carried one with her...but that wasn't the concern. She made only a tiny motion, stepping aside only slightly. Her version of a submit. But she planned something- as she kept all withing striking range.

Zach...Zach hadn't told me how stubborn you were...he had talked about her? To someone...most untrustworthy. She held the cup in the same hand as the tiny needle of the adrenaline shot...quick hands. And look...Leon had a bare foot. If he didn't wake up- something bad may happen to him. She worried...what would Zach do?

[Sean Barker]

"I knew you where a smart one."

He'd comment as he would move towards Leon. He would be inspecting the boy with detail through his black eyes. Oh yes, this other boy, this "Earth Dragon", yes he would be an interesting expirament as well. He'd continue to look the boy over, his injuries where only what he saw happen through the camera. Seemed not much had changed, he was cleaned up a bit though.

He would move to kneel next to the boy and inspect the damage done to his arm. It was broken pretty good. The data he had collected from their fight was good, the main expirament would be of great value to him.

[Oki W. Nanda]

She watched him...looking over her work..she moved only slightly, looking as though she was setting the saucer and cup on the bed...when really she was injecting the adrenaline into the boy...and hiding the needle under his pant leg. She spoke softly...respectfully- fingertips nearly embedded into Paddle. Nimble fingers, she had. Nimble and sly was she.

"How did you know Zach...what does this duckling have to do with you?"

[Sean Barker]

"Me and Zack go way back. High school friends. He asked me to help him for old times sake. And this... Duckling, haha. Is my expirament. I own him."

He'd say looking straight at her, with slightly agressive eyes. His smile still there. He wasn't the, uh... Nicest person. But the adrenaline was already working its magic. Alittle longer and the boy would be able to gain conciouseness. Sean looked at the boys forehead, to see if there was any reaction to his skull from being at full power. But it would seem he didn't use that drug Sean gave him. Pity, that would of changed things. Seemed The expirament wasn't too interested in being the greatest fighter anymore.

That girl he seemed to be in love with needed to be taken care of. She was a distraction.

[Oki W. Nanda]

Oki's eyes looked the boy over. She could see the breathing move a bit faster. The man...seemed to be looking for something- and then he looked to her. Those eyes told it all. He was poison. Her Zack wouldn't associate too long....but those drugs he was selling...could this guy be- most likely he was. She gave a small growl...low and unnoticeable, "Oki believes it's not plausible to own people. People own themselves. But cannot be owned by others."

She did not like this young man..and was temped to kick him as he knelt. But she waited, picking up her tea she gave it a small sip..."Mm. Perhaps he'd be kind enough to allow me to finish my check of this duckling before he wandered off with him. As- he is after all, Oki's responsibility."

Her gentle brown eyes were narrowed, lips still pulled into a happy, friendly smiled. She hadn't fought in forever, and hoped it wouldn't come to that or being pumped full of tranqs...that would make the twins meal very unsafe. She hoped Yuanji was alright with the twins. She didn't glance at the boy- but it wouldn't take too much longer...she hoped.

[Sean Barker]

Now, what some don't know about the young blond boy was he had this complex. And a heart problem, so many mental issues his mind was never in one place. His ears turned on first, as he heard the voices. The female voice was mature enough to bring out very subdued memories of his own mother, happy memories. Walking to the store with his mom, learning to ride a bike. Going to the fair. Then, one eye blinked quickly, seeing Sean, then once more seeing Oki. His memories flooding to him, speeding by, to the night he ran away from his real home. His drunk dad beat his mom to death on the table Leon was hiding under.

Immediately his eyes would open, his pupils so small they almost dissappeared. His focus was intense, those dark blue eyes, starring directly at Sean as the unbroken arm grabbed the vest he was wearing and pulled him in. Leon's head smashing clear into Sean's face, breaking the guy's nose, Leon jumping up quickly and throwing a punch, full of electricity into Sean's chest.

The stunned doctors didn't react until just then, when they came to their senses, opening fire, multiple needles finding their places inside Leon's body, sticking out in multiple places. But his focus didn't even falter, they just injected and stayed there. He'd burst forward, and punch another two, before more darts where pumped into him, finally bringing the broke fighter to his knees. Sean on the other hand, was hurting.

The doctors would keep their aim on Oki, seeing as they didn't want any more surprises. Some would help Sean up and check him out. Leon had a dangerous dose of tranqualizer running through his body. The adrenaline wasn't a large enough dose to fight off this powerful juice. The doctors would be pushed away from Sean, his bleeding nose, obviousely broken, and a large bruise/burn aleady forming on his chest.

"Thats an esspecially unruly experiment. Collect the wounded, we are leaving. Ms. Asiv, I must leave, I can't let you treat him anymore."

[Oki W. Nanda]

As flattering as being called 'Ms Asiv' was. The seemingly unaffected Nanda simply sipped her still hot tea, smiled gently- he looked good with a broken nose. Made him seem more...humble and hurtable. She had been smart enough to toss the sheet a bit after Leon Sudeki had gotten up..hiding the needle- leaving it to fate as to the boy getting up and breaking the dear man's nose. Oh she fought to hold in her laugh...but as he told her she wouldn't be allowed to treat the boy, she looked him over.

"And yet that would deem immediate medical attention, Oki would think. Wouldn't be wise to just let a broken nose sit. Or to have a student lying on my floor. At least put him on a gurney and let Oki NANDA have a look at his nose and burn. Could be an easy fix."

Buying time? Sure why not? She didn't need to be shot with those things. Nor did she need to not go home...Yuijima would be losing his mind with the twins..and Dion had been on a bit of a rampage lately. Oh Dear.

She sipped her tea gracefully, putting on the Nanda family charm with the brilliant smile that had one over nations ( Regina, Oki's niece- age 7, was a beauty pagent queen ), extending her graceful neck a bit, as he was a bit taller than her, "What's a few more minutes with a school nurse and a tranquilized boy on the floor?"

She met his eyes with her own amber ones, big-shiny-full of motherly love and trust. After all, she only wanted to help! Paddle..disagreed but he'd have to hold his tongue.

[Sean Barker]

What did Zack ever see in this woman? She didn't even take his name, how unfortunate. It was of no interest to him, but she was pushy, she was lucky to not be captured and taken away like this boy. The guy had already taken another boy and a young girl just because she was a witness, it was beginning to be a better and better idea, just to tranqaulizer her and take her to save time. But she was right too, the burn hurt, and his nose burned. Leon was an expirament he was well versed with, and with that many tranqualizer darts in him he was no threat.

With as many guns where pointed at the woman he doubted she would be a threat either. So he shrugged and took a chair, the others with the weapons simply stayed their ground. Weapons at the ready.

"Very well."

[Oki W. Nanda]

Oki set her tea next to her new patient. Paddle contested to being set aside- but he was placed out of reach of the dear man- which she now leaned over...he smelled terrible...though burned flesh did have that usual effect on her.She however reveled in her bamboo lotions and green tea body washes...gave her a hint of Asia. She had seen the momentary grit against the correction of her last name. Why should she have changed it? She and Zach had never been married...and the twins carried his name. It was enough for her.

"Oki certainly wishes, they'd put the duckling on a gurney. She would happily report it as stolen." She didn't want the boy being more hurt beyond what she and they had done...keeping a side glance on the boys breathing for but a brief moment.

Maintaining the most calm of expressions, she would look his nose over...and perform the ancient technique of, 'exhale' and oh look! I fixed your nose with one hand movement! That's right 'snap'- fixed nose. Woo! If he'd yelp or flinch she wouldn't waste any time on sympathy...simply give him a very nice clean up of the proboscis and a bit of a medical tape bandaid sans stitches.

"He's very lucky. Clean breaks like this are so rare to come by. He should see some of the messy breaks which pass through here. Though she would guess he's seen more than enough- especially if Zach was his companion."

She carried on a little conversation, whether or not he responded was his business. She went to her shelves..stepping over the unmoved boy. Pulling one or two things from the shelves, then returning to the man. Pulling up a stool and looking over the wound.

"Oki remembers Zach mentioning him...once or twice...not much to say beyond what was happening in a picture. Oki isn't one to pry..though she has little to tell anyone about or anything from the brief relationship. He passed far too quickly to be well known."

As she spoke her hands would gracefully, painlessly remove dead flesh, clean and cover the injury with a salve which smelled of earth and fresh water. A homemade remedy. One that would leave little to no scarring from the healing flesh.

"Though Oki would guess- his friend would rather focus on his own wound or the lack of name taken. Both of which have a simple explanation," she completed the perfect bandage. She was a master at this by now..with so many students to heal and maintain, "his wound will heal cleanly. Keep using the salve until it's all gone. It's all natural and 100% effective. Should be perfect for someone so concerned with a duckling like that."

She picked up her tea, sipped it and sat back, the Nanda family charm shimmering brightly, eyes flashing lightning, but none attaching to him, "And the second part- why take a name which isn't offered. Certainly it's just like owning a person. They come and ask to be owned instead of captured and manipulated."

Sunshine smiles, "Agree or disagree. Oki will not bother to say anything about this- but requests not running into him again." She got up- dumped her hot tea in his lap...and would proved him with a kick strong enough to send him out the open door. As no one closed it.

All this provided he didn't jump up at the moment the tea hit him- or if the tea had met it's mark at all. Paddle would be protesting to the lack of handling but- there was enough powder set aside for the babes...if the man opted to act.

[Sean Barker]

She seemed concerned for that expirament... It was interesting to him, just a little. Leon was an oddity, the information Sean had on him said the kid should of died at least 50 times over by now. Which is why Sean didn't much care about his well being. He'd survive or die, was the way of things, but he would wave a hand at the others with the guns to collect Leon onto a gourney and ship him out after the nurse stepped over him. Leaving a few with guns and Sean.

The story of Zack not saying much about him made his eye twitch and his response was simple.

"Thats like him, to leave me out of things."

He would end up staying quiet the rest of the time. He didn't knwo why she was acting like he was taking Leon, the boy was admitted tot he correctional facility by the state of New York school distract for excessive violance, and reformation. Sean was simply reclaiming what had gotten away.

He did not expect the hot tea, or the kick, both of which doing a successful job of getting him out of the room. The guys with guns would aim for shots on her body, but Sean would get up from outside, and order them otherwise.

"Leave her.. We have what we came for."

And they would leave.
