It was all darkness and oddly enough that sense of absolute nothingness was welcome. Maybe she was choosing to remain uncocnious because it was an easy way to avoid everything that was going on.
"Time to wake up." She heard someone say more clearly as they grabbed her face more forcefully. Their touch was rough but it wasn't enough for her to finally be able to get some grasp of consciousness.
"Don't touch her!" Another familiar voice yelled and this time it was enough to force her to try to open her eyes.
Gemma's head was throbbing as she slowly opened her eyes struggling with the bright lights all around her. It took a moment for all the memories to come rushing back to her, but when they did her eyes flew wide open. It was her instinct to try to stand but when she did she realized that she was tied down to a chair, from the soreness in her arms she it was easy to assume that she had been tied to it for a couple of hours.
When she looked up she felt her moth got dry at the sight of Jaime entrapped in a large device. She wasn't entirely sure what it was for but what little she knew off Victoria Kord suggested that she had to have some kind of plan on how to remove the Scarab from Jaime.
"Jaime?" She said softly horrified by what she was seeing.
"I'm okay." He told her even though he was clearly anything but. There were tears in his eyes and he had to be just as scared as she was.
"Untie her Sanchez." Victoria ordered one of the men who was standing decide the device that was containing Jaime.
"With all due respect, my name, again, is not Sanchez." He replied softly clearly afraid of Victoria Kord, and considering everything that she had done Gemma couldn't blame him. She was scared of what the woman was capable of doing to them if she didn't get what she wanted.
As he untied her she realized that Victoria Kord didn't consider her any kind of threat if she wanted her free from the restraints. But it only made her being here all the more confusing. Once she was untied Gemma slowly got to her feeling finally looking away from Jaime and to Victoria Kord who looked rather bored.
