[u][i]A Person in Need[/i][/u]
[u]Alpha and Beta's house, just outside Dojoville, 4:21PM[/u]
Beta sat there, crying. How'd she get this way? well, when your brother's a wanted criminal, with one of the most powerful organizations helping his pursuers, you don't have the most peaceful of times.
Where was she sitting? Oh, nowhere special. Just a pool of blood and sweat and tears, her blue jeans had been soaked through at the knees with red, the joints disabled by a high caliber handgun. JT's handgun.
She leaned against the doorway, JT was still there and Alpha.....she didn't know what happened, one moment he's there, another he's gone, leaving her in pain, afraid, and alone with a man who just might harm her more.
The fur on her face glistened with sweat and tears, some even leaking out from behind the shock of white fur that she'd highlighted with lavender to bring out the same color in her right eye, her only eye. Her half-sawed-off horns shone in the light as she shook, and her fangs caught that same light as she sobbed, scared and frightened.
((open, especially to JT))

"Oh my god! What happened to you? Who did that? Did they vivisect you? My Sun... let me help you. I'm not gonna hurt you. I swear on my life." [b]Ry had an extremely gentle and soothing tone on, as if to try and help her calm down. Ry didn't even have any weapons on her, actually. Just her mini-plasmatic generator. And even then that wasn't much of a weapon. Ry just really wanted to help her out...[/b]
-
She shivered, having heard that tone when her mother talked to her as a child. It comforted her, and she lowered her arms, letting you come closer "I-It hurts.....so....much......" She said between sobs, but the scars looked older, and oddly enough, they all seemed like ((with the exeception of the sterilization)) they had occurred while her body was contorted into varying degrees of transformation, as Ry could see with her own experience with experimentation "H-how.....how b-ad is it? C-can I.....Can I walk? E-ever?" She seemed smart enough to know that.......this might've been the last time she'd ever walk unassisted
-
"If you want my expert opinion..." [b]Ry flips back her hood, trying to look Beta right in the eyes. Ry felt bad for the girl... things just hadn't landed in her favor.[/b] "You're never running again. That's a fact. You might be able to walk with a heavy limp if we use prosthetics, but it's still a risk. It could wreck your nervous system to the point that you can't move anything below your thighs again. Are you willing to take that risk?" [b]Ry's ponytail swished back and forth, her purple hair swaying. She just... She felt so bad for her. She couldn't help her as much as she wanted to, she was a doctor, not a miracle worker.[/b]
-
She bit her lip, and nodded, maybe it wasn't as bad..... But she knew that the odds of her making a full recovery were literally next to nothing, but still, she hoped She lowered her arms, trying to ignore the burning and stabbing pain in her knees as she spoke "P-please.....I......oh god......"
-
"Alright... Listen, I'm going to need to carry you over to my ship so I can at least try to salvage what parts of your knees I can, okay?" [b]Ry tries to pick her up, barely being able to do it. She was determined to try and fix this girl. By any means.[/b]
-
She nodded, crying out in pain, but she was actually pretty light in her arms, helping a little to ease your movement "AGH!" She cried out, the pain kept building as a barely-lodged bullet began to shift, rubbing deeper into the wound
-
[b]Ry shifted her grasp to shift pressure away from the knees, more on the ankles and hips. She slowly trudged over to her ship with Beta in her arms, and the doors slip open. Ry looked down at her.[/b] "You're sure you wanna go through with this?"
-
"Just please make it stop!" She was starting to shake, and you noticed something horribly bad about her right leg......the lower half was actually without any blood flow, and unless she was luckier than trump's campaign, she'd lose that leg even with surgery
-
[b]She rushes them both quickly into the ship, past the bedrooms, past the kitchen, past the entertainment room. Into the operating room. She gently sets her down on the table she pulls an oxygen mask from the side of the room, and puts it on Beta.[/b] "You won't last under the stress of an awake surgery. I'm putting you under." [b]Beta felt... Woozy. The sedative drugs taking effect. If she had one more thing to add, this was the time.[/b]
-
"If.....I.....don;t.......tell.....Alex....." She didn't have time to say anything else, her eye fluttering shut as her breathing stabilized, no longer as ragged when she was crying But it was ever so faint, signaling her body was losing too much blood, and her heart fluttered in its cavity within her chest, her body trying desperately to hold on as she went into that limbo that defines the line between living and dead
-
[spoiler]Don't you just love timeskips?[/spoiler] [b]She woke up later, in a bed. A soft bed. A warm bed, very inviting indeed. It was a circle shape, accompanied by red sheets. The room was empty, save for two things. There was an IV drip going into Beta's arm, pumping... Something into her. It was presumably plasma of the blood persuasion, but it could've been something like water, or drugs. There was a circular window off to the side, it was morning now. Either the procedure had taken a long time, or she'd been asleep a while. The other thing in the room was the good doctor herself, Ry. She wore a dull orange set of robes, complete with fire designs. Ry clearly didn't know she came to yet.[/b]
-
She groaned, slowly looking around, her right eye blinking lazily as she spoke in a rather slurred tone "Whurre.......am...I?" She didn't know what had happened, but then it came to her, as sharply and as painfully as the bullets had hit her. "I......wha' happen..did......?" She tried to raise the covers, to no avail, her arm was too weak
-
[b]Ry spun around with a wide smile, clearly satisfied with her work. She had done good things. Things that she'd only had to do once before, for that guy on the water planet. She walked over to the bed.[/b] "You're awake! Let me tell you right now, your legs were quite a hassle! They didn't want to cooperate, but I did it! I fixed your legs! Well, I replaced them entirely, but now you can do all the stuff you used to be able to!" [b]She throws the covers aside, revealing Beta's brand new legs! And the clothes Ry dressed her in after the operation. Let's start with the boring part! Beta was now wearing an orange tank top, and orange shorts. Now, her legs... They were impressive. Ry had done a great job. They were pure white, and had the makings of advanced prosthetics the likes of which you couldn't find this side of the LIMB Clinic.[/b] "One of your legs was too far gone, so it was a better idea to amputate them both and put in new ones."
-
She looked happy, but a little skeptical, eyeing them with a little trepidation as she tried moving one [spoiler]Are they like the same shape as beta's old legs or are they just generic prosthetics?[/spoiler] "Th-thank you, I.....I dunno what I'd do without your help but......I never even got your name I'm Beta, who are you?"
-
[spoiler]They're as close to Beta's old legs as you want. As a default I would say they look as close as they can to her old legs.[/spoiler] "My name's Ry. My real name is way to long for normal people to really remember, so call me that, okay? First, can you tell me what happened?"
-
"I....I was fixing some food up, when I heard gunshots outside.....I went outside and there was that man, standing over Alex with a gun, and....he shot me the moment I walked out of the door, I don't know why" she said quietly
-
"People like that... They're despicable. Don't worry, the Sun will sort people like that out for us. They don't deserve what they have. What reason did he have to kidnap Alph- Alex?"
-
"H-he mentioned some sort of crew. Alex never mentioned a crew.....but....he told me that he'd done some bad stuff in the past, he was going to teach me to shoot....actually he was supposed to do it today"
-
"That... That sucks. I feel for you. Just... I know what you're gonna be going through. It's gonna be horrible. I'll help you through it, though. I'll be here for you, okay? Just... When it all sinks in, try to be calm, okay?"
-
"I...why...why are you helping me? I haven't helped you and you...you saved me"
-
"I don't do much around here. Mostly help people. You needed help, so I did my job. Plus, your brother was super nice to me, even though I hated him at he time."
-
"Why did you hate Alex?" She asked quietly, trying to move her legs a little
-
"I was... I was different. I used to be scared of everyone, terrified. He hugged me. I used to not do well with contact."
-
"Oh.....I.....You scared me because you reminded me of those people that....that....well....I used to be a normal girl....then.....then there was a fire and I was hurt, they took me away in the process and turned me into this....then started opening me up, and taking parts away...like part of those horns and my left eye"
-
"Hmm... I could help you with the eye. I can replace it for you."
