Henry danger, Taken

Chapter 10- Pain

Henry POV

I opened my eyes to bright light, my vision was blurry, so it took some time for me to realized that I was outside, laying in a small empty allay, coughing uncontrollably, I moved to my side, holding my stomach, still coughing, I felt like vomiting. then it all hit me, everything that happened.

"Ray... Cap'n Man... where are ya...?I tried to yell but my voice was rasping and almost inaudibly.

I got up on my knees, still coughing, and looked around, there was no Ray, he was nowhere to be seen. I didn't understand what was wrong with me, it was only knock out gas, not poison, right? But what I did understand was that I need to get to the man cave as fast as possible. "Where are ya, Ray" I asked myself, my voice still rasping and almost inaudible.

I got up and staggered into the alleys wall, my fit of coughing was calming down now, but it was still there.

"Man... 'Kay, you're... fine Hen'ry, you're fine... i-it's jus' knock out gas, it shoul'... wear... off anytime now—" I cut my self-off with an even stronger fit of coughing.

"GOD! Oh- Come...On" I said in my raspy voice still coughing.

I walked -more like stumbled- out of the allay with a miracle, I shielded my eyes with my hand from all the light that seemed to brighten more and more; it took a moment or two for me to realize where I was,

"oh...thank god" I muttered, relief over coming me, junk-in-stuff was only a few blocks away, I started walking towards junk-in-stuff, my legs buckling under me, making me fall onto one knee, 'WHATS WRONG WITH ME, WHAT IS THIS!' I thought irritated.

Ray POV

I woke up tied to a strange hospital like bed, "huh... what the..." I muttered thrashing, trying to get free. I felt slightly weak, but I had enough strength in me to understand the situation quickly and react....

"KID! KID?!" I yelled weakly, and coughed a little, looking around and not seeing him.

"he's not with us." a voice said, it was twittler's.

My heart dropped, did they... could they have killed him? 'don't think like that Ray' I thought.

"The hell did you do...?" I asked calmly, I wasn't coughing anymore but my throat felt raw.

"Nothing, nothing yet. He should be laying in an alley, still unaware, I think. The gas we used on the both of you will hurt him, plenty." Drex said,

'at least he's not dead' I thought, trying to look at the bright side, but, that last thing Drex said, about the gas, was ringing in my mind now.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WILL HURT HIM?! WHAT WAS THE WHITE GAS?!" I Asked horrified, losing my calm. More concerned for what'll happen to Henry rather than what will happen to me right here and now.

"Oh well, it was obviously knock out gas, but there's a twist Captain man, in that gas there's some poisonous and wounding chemicals, noble gas's that may not affect you half as much, after all, your indestructible, but for poor Henry...it starts with nausea, and uncontrollable coughing, and at that point he'll be as weak as a newborn kitten. Which will help us do what we need. In other word what you will do." Twittler explained like it was that best thing that ever happened in his life,

"But we know he'll be fine...after all, Shwas is a bright man, he'll figure it out, and your boy's got super healing, that should help him survive." Drex said with a smile and started laughing.

"What exactly do you want from me?!" I roared frustrated,

"you'll see" Twittler said, walking up to me, there was a long, stick like thing in his hand... no, it was syringe, a really fat one, filled with a green glowing chemical.
