Stress and Fear

A small mistake can lead to a big problem. Like right now, Ludwig is in trouble. With Train being in a coma, he had been distracted on the mission. It had been a month since his partner had been awake

Ludwig was slammed against the wall, grunting in pain. He kicked Connor's chest and dodged an attack.

"Ludwig, get back to the ship," Wolfabelle commanded him. He groaned as he was pinned against the wall again. Connor pinned his hands behind his back and grabbed Ludwig by his hair.

"You get to come with me," Connor hissed. Ludwig squirmed.

"Fuck off," he growled. Connor looked annoyed before he grabbed something from his belt. Ludwig yelped as something pricked his neck.

His brain went fuzzy and he went weak. Connor dragged him onto something cold and metal and Ludwig landed on his back.

He found he couldn't move and became slightly panicked in his sedated state. He grew more tired and slowly fought to stay awake.

Wolfabelle became worried when Ludwig didn't answer his comm, it being very unlike him.

"Ash, track Ludwig," she ordered. Ash nodded and glanced to Wolfabelle. The girl was tense and watched as the lime green color appeared on the screen.

It was moving but his dropship hadn't moved at all. They glanced at each other, realizing he was caught.

Bloody came out and looked at them before sighing

"Train woke up," she said. Wolfabelle signaled for Ash to stay put and followed her medic back to the medbay

Train was sitting up and looking around. He seemed confused. The bruise on his neck was gone, or at least fading.

"Train, how are you feeling?" Wolfabelle asked and he looked at her

"Fine," he mumbled. His voice cracked a little, clearly from not being used. He took a breath and cleared his throat. "I'm fine," he said again, this time a little better

"I'm glad. You've been out for a month,"

"So I've been told. Wolf, where's Ludwig?" He asked. Wolfabelle paused, not wanting to tell him. His heart rate increased a little with fear as Wolfabelle spoke the next few words

"He was captured. Today,"

"What?!" Train said and his eyes widened.

"Train, calm down. He hasn't been gone for very long. I doubt they could've done anything yet," she said. Train calmed down a little, but was very clearly upset

"We have to go get him,"

"No, you need to stay here,"

"With all due respect Wolf, he's my partner. You aren't keeping me here,"

"Train-" she started to say. Train had that look though. The one he got when he was being stubborn and nothing was changing his mind. Wolfabelle glanced back at Bloody who shrugged.

"He can go, nothing is wrong with him technically,"

"Fine. Suit up," Wolfbelle said and left the medbay
