The Trackjacker And The Mockingjay (Katniss Everdeen X F.OC)

-Reunited-

(So... Fun fact before the chapter... For most my HG fics, (for some reason I can't find for Bera's story) have this specific song linked to this reunion chapter even if the mood doesn't fit it... So keeping up the tradition it seems.) (Have you ever coughed for a month straight? Because I am -~- and it is no fun and for the last two weeks I have been coughing so much I hurt a rib)

Katniss had probably set a record, one of many she would have, by the speed she got down there.

And just in time to see Annie, who was screaming Finnick's name, who ripped out IV and medical cables off, running to throw herself into his arms.

She was so thin, so pale, like she was a ghost.

Jumping a bit in surprise at the loud sound from her left.

Johanna looked even worse but no egg head looks at readers but honestly a bald head would have been better then the burnt mess with electrodes still thickly glued into the locks of choppy hair.
Dark, excessively dark, like having gone over them several time on purpose types of bruises were visible on her skin with some of them having been split open from the mistreatment, skin bursting open and with medical personal trying to use iced clothes to calm the inflammation to dress the wounds with burns in some specific spots like palms and soles of feet.

Such sight these two women were had birthed terror in her heart.

Rounding the corner, she ran into someone, looking up.

"Peeta." She breathed out, permitting herself a small smile, hugging her friend. "How did you make it out with the guns active?"

"Well it's weird." He admitted. "All guns and services were back online but they just let us through." He recounted, having thought he was a dead man until not long ago.

"At least you are back... Next time don't volunteer for such stupid mission, you could have died."

"Stupid my ass." He smiled, knowing clearly that she'd never truly mean that, not with who was brought along. "But go on, don't bother with me, I know you have somewhere to be."

Oh she didn't need to be asked twice, rounding around Peeta with a hurried step.

First it was some doctor talking to someone she heard.

Then it was blonde hair of someone she knew would be bored with such a speech given to her that she saw.

Slowing down, being scared that she was imagining this all... But no, the doctor looked at her with a smile, patting the shoulder of the familiar woman, telling her he'd be back before leaving them alone with each other.

"Hey..." Katniss said softly after the doctor left and she closed the door herself so they had some privacy.

And those eyes, familiar and yet so foreign... But they looked at her over her shoulder.

She could have thrown herself at Percy, she had dark circles under her eyes and already bandaged up injuries so she couldn't tell the extent of them, pale and sunken in face but it was her... She could have thrown herself at Percy... Yeah... She could have... But why hadn't she?

That look in her eyes, it awoke a sort of distrust she couldn't place as the peacechild stood up, as silent as ever.

"You should remain seated." Katniss hurried, putting a hand on her shoulder, those eyes instantly darting to her touch as she gently pushed her back down seated. "You'd hurt yourself." She'll hold herself back, she doesn't want to hurt her even if all she wanted to do if hug and hold her... Right?

Even as she took her hand off, Percy kept staring at that spot before slowly looking up at her.

"Katniss?" Her voice hoarse but it was her voice.

"Yes, it's me." She couldn't help but smile in relief.

Percy reach out, the white ring still gleaming on her hand, that hand being the only unbandaged thing, having a few bandages even around her head and across her face, it was as if her captors on purpose didn't hurt that hand and that ring as a cruel reminder.

Katniss let her grab her hand, Percy staring at it... Almost as if to make sure it was the right targ-AhemI-person, that it was really Katniss and not a doppelganger.

Katniss squeezed back slightly with a trembling grip which seemed enough for Percy, this was really her, the real Katniss.

"Per--" She choked on her breath when the other hand snapped out and full gripped her neck before yanking her in a choke hold with her back against Percy.

Not even given a moment, air and blood ways cut from the powerful squeeze.

Pushing back on her legs as she grabbed Percy's arm in fear, causing them to fall. All her weight on Percy, squeezing her against the ground.

Out of pure survival instinct more then an actually thought out idea, ramming her elbow into the other victor's ribs full force, feeling some give but unable to worry too much, shoving away onto her knees and hands, reaching for the door knob before her ankle was grabbed.

"Help!" Turning back to drive a kick into the others face. "What's gotten into you?!"

But barely had she stood up that Percy rammed her palm in her face and back of the head through the glass medical cabinet before she was thrown down.

Percy sitting on her chest, hands squeezing, thumbs pressing with such force she through her throat would have a hole through it soon.

That look in her eyes, that odd look, that madness, that hate, The blood dripping from her face from Katniss' kick...What... Was... Going... O--...

"Let her go!"

The back of a plastic waiting chair was slammed on Percy's head, jerking her forwards.

Throwing a disoriented swing back but missing all as Boggs was too far but the soldier was close enough to kick her hard in the side and send her off Katniss.

Scrambling into a crouch faster then someone in her state should, Percy lunged at him, a two handed shove in his chest to lunge at the other soldier picking Katniss to carry her out.

She would have succeeded if not for the repetitive hits to the head taking a tole on her... Or was it the IV stand thrown extremely precisely by Finnick in the side of her head the finally knocked her out? Who knows... But Percy was out of commission.

Percy...

Who'd have previously died to save Katniss...

And yet who almost caused her early death today for reasons not yet known to anyone else but Snow himself.
