Who the hell took Ivy? (Carmivy)

ch. 6

"Carmen!" Ivy yelled worried as she struggled against the chains and wall, desperate to get to her wife who was clutching her shoulder where the bullet had gone through and through.

"I'm fine. I've had worse during my days as a detective." Carmen said clenching her teeth a bit as she glared at the masked man that was wearing a hockey mask and holding a gun. She thought she stole the keys to all the gunsafes and armories…he must have had it on him before that.

"So you actually came. I was sure that you'd leave her here and cut your loses. Not like anyone could actually love her enough to risk death for her." The woman said making Carmen sneer at her darkly.

"Well you thought wrong. I love her. If you knew what real love was you wouldn't be surprised that I came to get her." Carmen said her voice cold but her eyes soft as she looked at Ivy, before turning into steel when she looked back at the woman who claimed to be Ivy's mother.

"And what can you do? My husband has a gun, you never use them, and you're injured with no backup coming." The woman said with a smug smirk on her face that made Carmen want to slap her silly…well she wanted to do that before but not with a space shuttle! Well on second thought…yeah she wanted to hit her with a space shuttle too.

"You don't know who you're dealing with do you?" Carmen asked with a dark chuckle as her eyes glinted dangerously.

"The world famous pacifist thief Carmen Sandiego of course. You don't do violence, in fact you make sure no one gets hurt during your crimes." The woman said with a smirk making Carmen give a twisted smile.

"Usually yes…but I'm also Ivy's wife…and my wife's safety is far higher on my list of concerns than keeping my non-violence rule. And besides that…you forget…I'm also the most elusive woman in the world. I always get what I want and get away with it." Carmen said with another dark chuckle as she clicked something on the arm of her coat and there was a blast of smoke that covered the whole room.

"What?!" The man was startled and his gun went off several times at where Carmen had been standing…had been but wasn't anymore.

"I'll have you out of here in no time love." Carmen murmured as she appeared beside Ivy who relaxed at hearing her wife's voice so close as the chains that bound her legs were cut.

"Are you alright?" Ivy murmured back earning a small hum from Carmen as she worked on cutting the chain bounding one of Ivy's arms.

"The bullet was through and through, since I don't feel woozy then I don't think it hit anything important. I should be fine." Carmen assured her wife as she cut through one chain before she was grabbed as the smoke dispersed.

"You little….you made me waste all my bullets!" The man growled as he grabbed Carmen by her hair, yanking her away from Ivy and earning a small yelp from the thief at the rough pulling of her hair.

"No one pulls my hair except for Ivy." Carmen growled as she slammed her heel into the man's foot, causing his grip to weaken enough for Carmen to toss him off of her and into the wall behind her. She grabbed him by the head and slammed it into the stone wall hard enough to break his nose, some of his teeth, and make sure he was knocked out.

"Damnitt Carmen." Ivy muttered with a blush as she grabbed a bobby pin that was hidden in her hair and began to pick the lock on her other wrist. She'd have to drag around the chains on her other limbs for a little bit, at least until they were in a safe enough area for her to pick the locks on them, but she could pick the lock on the last one.

"IVY!" Carmen shouted whipping around when her wife screamed, Carmen looking worried and furious when she saw a knife being slammed into her wife's shoulder and twisted.

"Don't be naughty now Ivory." The woman said twisting the blade a little more with a dark look on her face.

"One more move out of you Miss Elusive Thief and there will be no one for you to save." The woman threatened when Carmen began to move forward but froze at the threat.

"I thought you wanted her to become queen. She can't do that if she's dead." Carmen said although her gaze never left her wife and the knife stuck in her. There were plenty of arteries and veins that knife could be cutting and that wasn't good.

"If nothing else we can just have Zechariah produce some heirs for the throne. Besides…she's always been naughty so this is her punishment. Isn't that right Ivory?" The woman asked with a twisted smile to Ivy who was clenching her teeth but managed to mutter something.

"What was that Ivory? You'll have to speak up." The woman taunted and mocked the red head who glared hatefully at her.

"I said…" Ivy trailed off a bit as she breathed deeply for a moment and Carmen noticed the way that Ivy's legs were tensing and prepared to spring.

Ivy's legs shot up, the chains still attached flying and making the woman give a startled shout as she tried to avoid them. The woman was forced to let go of the knife that was still in Ivy's shoulder as one chain caught her across the arm and chest.

As soon as the knife was released Carmen had leapt forward and tackled the woman even further away from her wife.

"Don't. Come. Near. My. Family. Ever. Again!" Carmen made sure to emphasis each word with a heavy punch to the womans face until she was knocked out and left bloody and bruised.

"Carmen…" Ivy's voice was weak now but it broke through Carmen's mind and caused the thief to abandon her now unconscious enemy.

"Ivy stay with me. I'm getting you to a hospital as fast as I can." Carmen said pale faced when she noticed how much blood her wife was losing from the knife wound, shit something was definitely cut and Ivy was losing blood fast. Quickly cutting down the last chain hooking Ivy to the wall Carmen caught her wife, wincing at the pain in her shot shoulder but ignoring it for the moment. She had more precious cargo in her arms, more heavily wounded cargo that she needed to worry about.

"I…feel cold Carmen…" Ivy murmured making Carmen wince, that wasn't good. That really wasn't good.

"I know babe but just stay awake okay? Stay with me and you'll be nice and warm in no time and I promise I won't steal the blankets to mess with you or make you cuddle me anymore." Carmen was rambling a bit by now as she cradled her wife close, lifting her up and rushing for the stairs again despite trying to be careful not to jostle the smaller woman.

Ivy choked out a laugh that had Carmen paling horrified as blood came up and mingled with the red of her trenchcoat. Ivy reached one hand up and cupped Carmen's face with a sad but loving smile as they made it to the ground floor where Al and Sara were tying up the last of the guards, a few other henchmen helping.

"…I love you Carmen…" Ivy whispered using the last of her strength to lean up enough to press a gentle chaste kiss to her wife's lips, smearing blood on her wife's full lips before the red head fell back limply with her eyes closing.

"Ivy? Ivy wake up." Carmen begged as she sunk to her knees staring at her wife even as the henchmen came running over to assist her.

Everyone winced and felt a chill go through them at the heartbroken scream that tore from the red clad womans throat as she clutched her wife close.

"IVY!"
