Wrecked..(Open)

[Cody Travers]

His mind a complete blank as he lay there in the hospital bed..He couldn't feel..He couldn't see..He could only breath, as his mind knew nothing short of whiteness..That heating sensation..

Strength..

Courage?

Valor?!

No!! It was a burning sensation! As it raged through his chest, he tried to cough..He couldn't! It was like he was choking on a marble!! He couldn't swallow, nor could he move! His body in some sort of stasis lock! He struggled with his body..

He couldn't move..

Those eyes..And nothing..His world went white..

Rage..

Anger..

Hatred..

Cody's eyes suddenly pried themselves open in a jolt of fury, as he breathed heavily into the air..Rising himself to an upright position..His body raged with pain and conviction..

Constraint..

Perhaps nothing more..

As he raised a battered arm to his head..All he could remeber..Was that older male in a suit..Delivering that final shot to Cody's ribs..

He got one last chance..Before passing out..All..Went white..

He breathed heavily..To the taste of blood in his mouth..Coughing as he couldn't stand it..

"U-ugh.."

He looked around..

The blurry eyes were set in a hospital room..That he was situated in..He looked down..At the sheets..Clutching his fists..His handcuffs..On the table next to him..As large red marks were present from them being so long there..

Hunched over..He..

A tear shed from his eye..As it fell onto his hands..They clenched and unclenched..

Then another..And another..

"Why..Why am I not dead..?"

[Scarlet]

She had only met him a couple days ago. She liked Cody. He was a kind enough guy that made her see life in a different way. She was training in her apartment room when she had a sudden feeling of pain in her gut. Then a vision flashed before her eyes. Cody was in pain. She blinked. She wasn't sure if her vision was right, but she hoped it wasn't. She changed into a pair of jeans and a tight black tshirt. She grabbed a sweatershirt on her way out the door. She leaped from a second floor on to the concrete. She breathed heavily as she ran toward the hospital.

She entered the building casually and walked up to a secretary, and asked if there was a Cody Travers within the building. She confirmed her request. She cursed under her breath, and asked for the room number. The secratary told her, and she headed toward the room number. She found it and saw him laying on the bed. She could feel the pain emitting from the room. She tried walking in, but she was stopped. The doctor came up to her and explained that he was in no condition to see anyone. She asked when she could see him. He told her in about an hour. She sighed, and muttered she would wait.

[Cody Travers]

(OOC: I don't mind at all. ^^)

Cody lay there in the bed..Under the affects of some sort of drug..His eyes could only see circles, as strangely enough it just seemed to be rather..disruptive on him. His head pounded with discomfort as he sat up once more..he was shifting in and out of conciousness.. His brain felt like it was going to explode..

..He heard voices from the one side of the room, one side was a male voice, most likely his doctor..the other..

..A female voice..One that he'd heard somewhere before..So familiar..But he couldn't remember! His head felt like it was going to shatter. Finally a curtain pulled itself open, as a man clad in a large white coat stood before him. He was holding a clipboard..But all Cody could see was a few blurs..

Even his speaking was distorted..

"..Mr. Travers?" The doctor said. "..Can you hear me Mr. Travers?" He asked again for conformation.

"Ye--yes.." Cody replied a little shakily.

"Good..Now..How are you feeling today?" The doctor asked, adjusting his glasses.

Cody knew the ways of the hospital. He knew that when they said "today" that he'd been there for a while. Cody frowned..

"..Today? Doctor?" He asked.

"..Ah..yes..Well..It seems that you had a panic attack of some very threatening sorts in your head. Perhaps a sudden shock treatment..?"

..Not again..

This kind of stuff happened to Cody only when he had thoughts about his father..After all it was him that scarred the young boy for life.

..Shameful really..

Cody looked down..He felt horrible..Until the doctor let out a small cough..

"Ahem..Uh..You also have a visitor here.." He said, pushing a finger up against his glasses..

"..Really? Who?" Cody asked. Looking puzzled.

"She didn't say her name, but she had black hair..And really red eyes.."

Scarlet..

Cody smiled..He was glad, She of all people came to see him..Anyone else..And he would turn them away possibly..But Scarlet, without question..He liked her. She was interesting to him. In many different ways..

Cody looked up at the doctor.

"..Where is she?!" Cody asked..A little excited..He tried to sit up..But couldn't..His body eased back down in pain..

"Now now, Mr. Travers..You need to be careful..Nothing too straining. Just take it slow for now.."

Cody eased himself up slower this time..

"Now..Where is she.." He asked calmer this time.

"..She's waiting outside..But you can't see her yet." He said a little reluctantly, almost a little pity went from him to Cody.

"Well? Why can't I see her?" Cody asked a little upset.

"..Because..We need to preform some needles and tests..By then you should be fine." The doctor replied.. "It'll only take an hour.." He said, taking a quick needle out..

"..Fine.." Cody said..A little reluctant..But..He would wait..



Cody eased back..His arm felt pretty rough now..As about 3 needles had been put into him..But he was wide awake now..Cody sat up, smiling at the doctor.

"..There..All done.." He said, Taking the needles into a little tray picking up his clipboard and writing down the results..

"..So..Can I see her now?" Cody asked impatiently.

"Yes..You can see her now..I'll let a nurse know so she can call her in.." The doctor replied, getting up from his seat and heading out side the curtain..

Cody was a little nervous..He wondered what he would say to Scarlet if she saw him like this..

[Scarlet]

She sat there patiently, waiting for the permission she needed to enter the room. She watched as the doctors stuck in needle after needle was stuck into him. It was a horrid thing to watch. Her gut seemed to do flips as the needle drew things from his body. It made her even shiver at the sight. She looked away, and then down at the floor. She breathed in deeply, and relaxed herself so it wouldn't bother her anymore. She licked her lips, and then heard a clicking on the floor like high heel shoes walking across the floor.

It seemed to be going toward her. She looked up and saw the nurse there. She smiled. "You can go in now," she muttered. Scarlet nodded her head, and stood up. She held her sweatershirt close to her body. It seemed to give her the comfort she was looking for. She entered into the room, and sat down in a chair next to him. She observed his body. He seemed to be very tired and sore. She wasn't sure what had happened to him, but it didn't look good.

She looked at his face and smiled gently. "Hey there," she whispered tenderly. She grasped his hand gently within in her small hands. She enclosed her hands around his. They seem to be warmer than hers. She felt comfortable, and she smiled. She wasn't sure what to say. She had only met the guy a couple days ago. Now, she sensed that he was in the hospitaly and her suspions were right. She blinked. Her dark scarlet optics seem to emit a happy gentle aura toward him. She wondered if he realized that she entered the room. She hoped so.

[Cody Travers]

Cody lay back in the bed, his muscles all sore, tense..And if not just a bit unmoving if anyone couldn't get the hint. After about 3 needles had been pricked into him. It just felt like someone had just ripped his arm apart..

But that didn't matter.

He looked up a bit, as he could see Scarlet coming in now..He was a little nervous indeed, considering a few things..His current state overall and another thing..That she knew he was here. Did someone tell her?..

..No wait..

..The only person that would know about these breaks would be Dr. Clavering..So unless Scarlet knew Dr. Clavering..Or she was setting something up between the two of them..

..Maybe it was just pure luck? Or sense? Some kind of sixth sense brewing in their heads?..Or feelings rather?

Regardless, he watched as she sat down in the chair next to the bed that the doctor had been sitting in. He smiled, He didn't care how she knew..Or how she got here.. All he was glad about was the fact that she was here now..

"Hey there,"

He was still rather groggy from all the medicine..His eyes were half open. But he managed to just stay awake enough to talk to her. He then felt a sudden cool sensation on his one hand. The one that the doctor had jabbed all those needles into..Cody's eyes moved to his hand..Her hands enveloped his..Looking back up at her..He did his best to speak.

"..H..Hey.." He said with a bit of groggyness. He knew she was there now..Staring deep into those eyes of hers..That scarlet red familiar relaxing him far more than what he could comprehend..He tried to sit up..His body moving slowly..But in pain..He closed one eye to sit up for her..It was rather painful and struggling..But he managed..

"..I'm..Sorry you had to see that.." He apoligized to her..He knew she'd probably witnessed the entire thing..Giving the best smile he could so she wouldn't feel bad.

He let out a light cough to the side, before asking her..

"..I'm glad you came..At least.." With a smile.

[Scarlet]

Her face seem to fill with worry as he tried to sit up. She gently pushed him back. She couldn't bare to see him in pain. Her heart seemed to do twist and turns. She sighed. "Don't hurt yourself anymore. Just relax," she said gently. She continued to hold his hand throughout this ordeal. She hoped that maybe her strength could transfer into his body. She smiled, and shook her head. "How'd you get stuck in this mess?" she asked tenderly.

She rubbed his forearm gently, trying to ease his troubled mind from the pain. She knew what this was like. She had moment where there was so much pain that she wanted it all to just vanish. That's when she learned about her Jujitsu bloodline. She learned that she can learn the secrets of the art of Jujitsu. She could learn to several things. Basically, she spent three years building up her sixth sense as some people quality it as.

[Cody Travers]

He slid back into his position only slightly..As she now pushed him back into his bed. He didn't bother to resist, but he continued to look at her. She was being so kind, so gentle..It was certainly..Different from what he was used to. He'd never been treated like this before..

Such kindness..From those eyes..

It was..

Nice..

"Don't hurt yourself anymore. Just relax,"

Her words were soothing to Cody's mind, as he lay back..He nodded to her. The feel of her hand..It felt right..He didn't know what to say, just that looking into those eyes, it was like looking into something new. Something that he'd never seen before..

..Maybe it was the drugs?

Regardless, Cody had that heavy head of his pried towards her face. He really was glad to see her. After all..He'd just promised himself a death wish earlier, anyway..But maybe it was all just a bad dream..

No..It couldn't have been.

It happened too often.

"How'd you get stuck in this mess?" She asked..

Cody froze, taking a couple of breaths in between..He didn't answer right away. For fear that she would suddenly become too worried. But with her holding his hand..It was just..He couldn't help himself. Moving his head back to face hers, he began mumbling to her..

"..It seems I've had another panic attack." He said, quietly.

"..But these aren't normal panic attacks..As my body's nevous system shuts down.." He continued to talk about..

"..They...They're triggered by memories.." Looking to the side, His smile went to neutral..

"..Bad..Memories..My worst ones.." He sighed, He hadn't told anyone his story. Specifically because nobody seemed to care..But perhaps he would share with he now..

Cody trusted Scarlet.

..It was just hard..To reveal something that had been long since hidden..

"..Memories of my father."

[Scarlet]

She blinked. It was time. She had to look inside his head to see what he was talking about. It seemed that it was too painful for him to talk about. She couldn't bear to see him in that pain. She placed her left hand and cupped his cheek gently. She concentrated and felt her mind beginning to wander. She caught certain images. Horrible memories. Cody's past. She was watching Cody's past before his eyes. Everything had to do with his father. She breathed in deeply. She caught the last part of the memory before going to Public High School #259.

She withdrew her mind and blinked. She smiled tenderly. So this was the pain that haunted him. She nodded her head. "I understand," she whispered and smiled tenderly. He wouldn't have to tell her anything. She learned everything by simply appearing into his head. She had done this several times before. She looked inside numerous minds just to get information. Everyone she looked inside of, they would never she had. She smiled. It was a nice thing having jujitsu abilities.

[Cody Travers]

He never really understood the advanced abilites of people alone. Let alone the fact that he didn't even understand his own strange abilities..Making raw energy out of his kicks and punches..Nobody could ever understand.

But then again..

He knew that Scarlet was a unique girl, especially to Cody. The fact that she alone was talking to him was a mystery in itself. But he accepted it with open arms..After all.. He likes this young lady, even though they'd only known each other for a few days.

But even so, she was giving him happy memories now. As she sat by his side, he lay in the hospital bed. More or less in pain, over the fact that his father was a madman..A maniac, more or less so, to prove that he wasn't just some two bit trainer.

But the sudden feeling of her hand, slowly making its way around his cheek..It would bring both soft feelings, and sudden breaks of unwanted memories..

Those long rigorous beatings and amounts of training to win by his father..

Losing to Barry..

Beaten to an inch of death..

Cody blinked as he was brought back to reality, but throughout the entire split second of that..He saw Scarlet's smile..And those scarlet eyes of her..She was just what kept him there..Smiling..

"I understand"

Cody smiled..he was glad now that she understood. She must've used some sort of mind reading technique on him..Sure, it was the first time he'd ever experienced something like that..

But..

He didn't really care..He had his own odd abilities to deal with.

He sighed.

"..He..My parents never treated me well.." He suddenly spoke with a smile, using what strength he had left in his hand to hold onto Scarlet's..Offering that soft smile of his once more..

"..Did you love your parents, Scarlet?"

[Scarlet]

Did you love your parents? She pondered. She couldn't say that she did. Her parents tried to love her, but the closer they tried to get to her the farther away she drifted. Her mother couldn't do anything about it, and she was a psychologist. Her mother assumed that they should just get her the things she wanted and she would be happy. Scarlet wasn't happy. She felt unhappy, and she wanted to run away from her parents and home. Then she had her little incident freshman. Her parents brought her home for the year and taught her themselves for her father was a teacher.

Then, she came here. She thought it would be the same old school, just in a different place. Then she met Cody. There was just something about him that quite put a finger on it. So long had she been independent of the world. She managed to care for herself when her parents couldn't. "No. They've tried, but I can't seem to do it," she replied finally. She sighed, and looked at him. She smiled gently. "I can't seem to love. My heart always seems so empty and I don't know why," she replied. But, at the bottom of her gut, she could feel a...happiness brimming when she was around Cody. Something couldn't explain. "Until now..." her words trailed off into nothing. She couldn't say anything more.

[Cody Travers]

He watched as she took her time to say something. Reply to his question, if you will, but he was a patient young man..Curious, but patient. He lay there, curious about what she would say..How she would answer..Did she truly love her parents? Unlike Cody did?..

It was all in the manner of questioning, and yet..There was something about this girl..

She was different.

"No. They've tried, but I can't seem to do it,"

Cody didn't move, He could only look up at Scarlet..So she was sad too, just like Cody. Although the only difference between them being that his parents didn't love him, and Vice-versa. It seemed that her parents tried to make her happy..

..But not everyone loves their parents..Cody could tell her that..Hell, he was one of the prime examples.

"I can't seem to love. My heart always seems so empty and I don't know why,"

He held onto her hand tightly, with whatever strength he could, as he felt sorry for her..She must've been so lonely, as she didn't feel accepted with her parents..Just like him..It seemed that they shared something in common..They were both lonely..

"Until now..."

Her words touched Cody..As though she had just told him something that he'd never heard before..A bit of red made it's way across his face, as he smiled.

"Scarlet..You're different from everyone else.." He began..In his softest voice possible..

"Believe me..I felt the same way..I always thought that there was nothing in this world that had anything for me..Just betrayal..That everyone was out to get me.." He smiled at her, to get her spirit up..But on the side..He debated with himself..What should he say? How should he say it?

"..Until I met you.." He finally said gently..Moving his free arm over, his free hand covering that small cold hand of hers..

"..You're special to me, Scarlet..I trust you..You're probably the only person I'll ever trust.." That red on his face became more crimson..

"Scarlet..I Know..How you feel.." He gulped hard..Even he couldn't explain his feelings..

[Scarlet]

She felt something burn on her face. The bottom of her gut was burning. She had never had these feelings before. Words seemed to come out of her mouth that she couldn't seem to control. Its not like she hated her parents. She tried to love them, but for some reason there was nothing there. Her heart was beating faster. His words were true. She could see it in his face. She had never felt so vulnerable. This was completely different, very new to her.

She couldn't say anything. Her mouth wouldn't work. "I tried to love them, but it couldn't happen..." she muttered. What was she saying? She couldn't speak. Her mind wouldn't allow her, too. Betrayal a word spoken way too often in her house. She blinked. She felt her face still burning. "I trust you, too," she replied. What else could she say? Her mouth wouldn't work quite right. You're special to me... The words echoed in her head. This was so different for her. She couldn't remembered at all feeling like this. What was it? No. It couldn't be. Could it? Could it be...

Love?

[Cody Travers]

She had an odd look on her face, one that Cody hadn't seen on any other women when they looked at him before..It was..Different..Something he hadn't seen or felt before..Maybe he looked the same she did. After all, the feeling like his face was numb was all over his cheeks..

The feeling in the pit of his stomach was mutual, like someone had just punched him, Like he wanted to scream at the top of his lungs whatever words came to mind..And the words on his mind right now..Would be his feelings..His direct undivided feelings..

Those that he'd never felt before.

Sure, they started out as simple butterflies, but over time they grew..Between them some sort of bond had formed..As though, each time Cody saw Scarlet..He just had to run to her..

"I tried to love them, but it couldn't happen..."

Cody moved close to the edge of the bed, where she was sitting. Still holding her hand. Cody's face burned with some sort of heat..As he would try to find the words to comfort her..

"I trust you, too,"

Cody gulped down hard..His head feeling like a hot ball of fire. He looked deep into Scarlet's eyes. They were so close..Only a small arms length seperated them from each other now..The heat..It was so close..

And with that..He took his arm, and that hand..Extending it out to her, he's stroked a few bangs from behind her ear, before gently resting his palm on her cheek..Moving it downward gently to her chin..His fingers lingered on her chin, so he could see her..

"..You..You're cute..When you blush.." He said softly..The red on her face..

They were so close..Only a small ways away..

"..It brings out..Your beautiful eyes.." He smiled softly..

He held onto her hand tightly..Their faces ever so close..

"Scarlet..I.."

[narakunohana]

OOC: DID SOMEONE SAY MUSH?! =D?!

... Well, that mushy scene didnt' last very long. A loud thump would slam by the door. "O-oh! It was shut!"

That voice was very familiar.

A few clicks later, the door revealed no one other than PHS259's Layla Clavering. It was her shift today, considering the fact that she didn't have that much classes. Well, considering that she didn't have her glasses on (despite it being on her pockets)... and she forgot to wear her contacts again after her nap just an hour ago at the doctor's lounge -- this would be an interesting way to start the last 12 hours of her 48-hour shift.

All she saw were a blurred image of a male and female close together. Squinting her eyes for focus, she got a better image. "Mr. Travers, am I correct?" she placed her chart right by her face, "... so this is your... wife?"

She queried. Her glasses were at her pockets, but of course... she was still half-conscious.

Silly Miss Layla Clavering, she was mostly upset that the hospital didn't allow her to wear her cosplay outfits while on her shift, so... she had to spend money on normal clothing. Well, right now she thought of it as cosplaying as normal people -- which wasn't as interesting as it probably would.

"Am I disturbing something, ...Mr. and Mrs. Travers?"

...

Oh look, she misread 'single' for 'married'. Well, knowing Layla... I ask you a question now?

Was all of this just a coincidence?

... or maybe... everything that looked like a funny coincidence, part of some strange experiment...?

[Scarlet]

Her throat felt dry, and she felt her entire body stiffening up. She could hardly move, but she couldn't move away. She noticed him inching his way toward. What was he doing? She wondered. She felt his hand placed strands of hair behind her ear. Then his fingers gently glided on her skin on her cheek and chin. Everywhere his hand touched it seemed to make that piece of skin burn with an invisible mark. It was a loving mark, and she had never had these feelings before. They were so incredibly strong. It was so new, but so...wonderful.

You're cute when you blush. Those words only made her blush more. Her eyes kind of casted down toward the ground. She could hardly keep his glance. It brings our your beautiful eyes. She felt her heart pounding faster and faster. As a drummer, you are able to play incredibly fast if you work your hands enough, but this tempo, she was sure she could never play that fast. She felt his face coming closer and closer. Her breathing increased. She was breathless. It was an incredible feeling running through her body.

Her body jointed when she heard the door open. She released Cody's hand and spun around. She saw a tall blonde lady standing there. She blinked. Wife...? Her eyes seemed to blug out of her head. She could hardly speak. Mr. and Mrs. Travers. This lady thought they were married...? The thought some what startled her. She licked her lips, and replied,"No. We were not married." Her heart was beating so fast that she could feel it pounding against her ribcage. This was the first time this ever happened to her. She was so close to receiving her first kiss. So close.
