Shadows of the heart (MxMxMxMxM)

Chapter 74: Help

:D Ace pov!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Tsking softly, I finished tying off the bandage that I had wrapped around Brion's stitched up hands.

''Now see the damage you've caused?'' I chided, Letting up my control on his mind.

Scowling, He glared at the ground directly next to me, Not saying anything.

Tsking again, I got up, Leaving him securely held in place by my shadow clones as I went to put away my first aid kit.

I had gotten an alert on my phone while I was at work that someone was breaking into my house.

Figuring it was just a common place robber, I took a half day, Planning on scaring off the perp then spend the rest of the day with my little puppet.

Turns out dear little Brion, In an attempt to escape, Broke through a window with his bare hands as I had locks on the windows to keep him in while I was gone.

Of course, His escape attempt worked about as well as one would think it would.

The window was shattered but it's frame still had long very sharp and very jagged glass shards in it long enough to keep even a cat out.

And all he had to show for his escape attempt was two very bloody and scraped up hands and one small cut on his cheek from his attempt to fit his head through the clearly too small hole in the window.

''Honestly Brion, There's a chair right next to that window, You could have used that to break out'' I continued as I returned to him again.

I wasn't concerned that giving him advice like this would help him escape, My property was fenced in with a tall stone wall, With his powers temporarily gone, He won't be able to scale it.

Rather, I was more concerned that his future attempts at escape might result in worse injuries.

Crouching down in front of the chair he was being forced to sit in, I reached out and gently cupped his face.

''You're a smart man, I'm sure you can think of a better way to escape that doesn't involve wounding yourself'' I murmured, Removing my hands from his face so I could pick up and prepare the syringe I had resting in a sanitary bag on the table.

I could see him watching me wearily as I carefully pushed the air out of the syringe.

''Hold out your arm now darling'' I ordered, Reaching out to gently grab onto his wrist.

''What are you doing.'' He snapped, His voice wobbling despite clearly trying to sound angry.

Arching an eyebrow, I concentrated on injecting him with the pain killer before finally answering him.

''Giving you something to help with the pain'' I explained calmly, Placing a band-aid over the tiny drop of blood leaking from the injection area.

He grumbled quietly, Glancing away from me as he did so, Annoyed but unable to really yell at me over helping him.

Or so I thought.

''This is all your fault.'' He hissed out, Glaring at me as he spoke.

Deciding not to further this line of conversation, I remained quiet, Opting instead to look him over to make sure I didn't miss any wounds.

Didn't appear like I had, But, He was covered in a lot of blood, Making any wounds a lot harder to spot.

Well, Best deal with this.

Sighing, I gently patted his thigh before standing up.

''Alright, Let's go get you cleaned up and out of those bloodied clothes'' I said, Reaching out to my clones, Using them to haul him to his feet.

He scowled and started sulking quietly as he was half carried half dragged through my house, Towards the upstairs bathroom.

Reaching out subtly towards his mind, I checked in to see what he was feeling about all of this.

'This is so stupid. If I had my powers I'd be out of this lowlife's hands by now. . .He's just some pathetic villain. Nothing I can't easily beat.' 

The  disgust that filled him at the thought of being beaten by someone 'Lesser' was quite shocking.

Rolling my eyes, I resigned myself with the fact that he wouldn't be getting his powers back anytime soon, Constantly being dosed with the medical grade power suppresser.

There are perks to working at a hospital that specialize in treating people with powers. . .

Pushing open my bedroom door, I had my clones set him down on the bed while I gathered some of the clothes I had bought for him after. . .'Obtaining' him.

Once I had gathered some nice and warm pajamas, I had my clones pick back up my reluctant puppet and carry him towards the bathroom.

''What are you doing?'' He started to question, Actually struggling against my clones, Or at least attempting to.

''Preparing a bath of course'' I answered calmly, Not really paying him much mind as I started filling the tub, Making sure the soap I had put in frothed up into nice large bubbles on top.

While I busied myself with that, I had my clones set about the rather difficult task of removing Brion's clothes.

''What the hell! What are you doing!?'' He started shouting, Thrashing about and struggling against my smoky clones.   

''Surely you don't intend to take a bath with your clothes still on?'' I teased, Smirking slightly when his face started to redden a bit.

''Well I can undress myself on my own you pervert!'' He snapped, Reaching out to start undressing himself with his very wounded and bandaged hands.

The pain killer hadn't really taken effect yet, So, He realized very quickly the reason why I was the one undressing him.

A small whimper of pain left him as his wounds were opened even further thanks to the movement.

Shaking my head slowly, I turned back around, Approaching where my clones had set him down on the bathroom counter.

He had his shirt half way off by now as I dissipated my clones.

''Let's see what you've done'' I muttered, Gently grabbing one of his bandaged hands to make sure he didn't loosen any of the wrappings.

I didn't see any blood leaking through, So they should be good enough for now.

''Now then, Let's finally get you cleaned up'' I muttered, Finishing helping him remove his shirt now.
