Grayson:The Ronin Protocol

Chapter 30:Dead To Rights Pt 2

Seven hours later Jason's brown eyes slowly open as he awakes in a familiar bedroom seeing his balaclava and goggles sitting on the nightstand beside him. A familiar voice said Welcome back to the land of the living Jason as Jay rises to his feet wincing in pain. As he stares at Eve holding a cup of tea in his hands. Eve said your grandma's in the hospital she was shot in the head Your grandpa and Tommy are at the hospital by her side. She said Victoria called me and told me what happened to you I found you unconscious on the roof, I dug these out of you well more like they popped out of your chest. She pulls a mini jar filled with 3 bullets inside it out of her pants pocket,setting it on the nightstand she said You were holding a storcube what was in it?.

Jason said I don't feel like myself why do I feel like I was drugged? As he stares at Eve with curiosity on his face. Eve said I used your old toxin analysis scanner at your old lab apparently whoever shot you laced their bullets with a poison called Karuga it's native to Brazil. It stops the heart in 5 minutes, Paralyzes the organs in 2 and a half minutes how're you alive Jason?, Jason looks over at the IV sitting next to him he says I don't know what do you mean whoever shot me don't tell me he escaped. Eve said Yes he did whoever he is what was in the storcube?, Jason said A piece of the killers suit I planned on analyzing it to see what it's made of My grandma's in the hospital?? I've to see her. As he tries to get out of bed only to be grabbed by Eve she said You're hurt Jason the poison is still in your system and it needs to work itself out of your body. I'll cover for you with your grandpa and Tommy What's the new suit for?, Jason said protection, Eve said you need armor these compression suits you're wearing aren't protecting you from shit. Jason said Armor will just slow me down and make me slow when I need to be fast and brutal. I thought you said you were never helping me again Eve, Eve said I'm not this is all in your head wake up Jason WAKE UP!!.

Jason's brown eyes slowly open as he awakens in a familiar room in Saint Paul's Cathedral. A familiar voice says Welcome Back to the World of the living Jason, Jason sees his balaclava and goggles sitting on the nightstand beside him along with the storcube from his fight against Ricochet. Eve walks over to him and wipes his forehead with a cloth and a smile, She curiously says still looking out for the little guy huh? You've 3 bruised ribs. You've some minor internal bleeding what the hell are you wearing? Is that a new suit? Where's the armor?, Jason said It's a work in progress, armor will slow me down E I thought you were never helping me anymore and yeah it's a new suit how'd you find me?.

Eve said know what else will slow you down A bullet your assistant called me and said you were in trouble so I told her to take me to you. I found you unconscious on the ground unresponsive so I ported us here, I saw on the news sheets your grandmother is in the hospital right now I patched you up again. Jason sincerely said Thanks E I really appreciate your help I missed you a lot I'll think about investing in armor how've you been?. Eve said I've been doing okay I've been working at Toriyama General since our last meeting. I patched up a couple, that was in the middle of getting ready to be mugged until A black and red shadow came out of nowhere and beat the mugger to a pulp. Or the Woman who was trying to get away from her abusive husband, and he had her cornered she said she would have been dead if not for a black and red shadow that heard her prayers. Her husband can't eat properly anymore you're making a name for yourself Jason, Why don't you let the cops handle shit like this?. As she stares at Jason with curiosity and concern on her face, Jason says like I told you before the cops can't do what I do They won't cross that line. And purge the city of the criminals who aren't afraid of a little jail time I use my darkness to make a difference E,

Eve said I get it I do but how many times do you think I can patch you up before I find you in a dumpster bleeding out somewhere or worse you get unmasked for the whole world to see. Jason said My Grandma is in the hospital fighting for her life right now, and it's my fault because I didn't get info out of the cunt who shot her E. Eve said you can't keep putting your body through this kind of pain Because you've a death wish Jason get some damn body armor. She sighs and says I understand that you blame yourself for everything. But it's not your fault your parents deaths weren't caused by you nor was your grandmother getting shot, I pulled these out of your chest actually they popped out of your chest What're you Jason?.
