Joel P.O.V.

"We're finished.  Take him to be cleaned up and dressed," Finn says. 

I can't feel anything. I can move my head around now and see, but everything else is still numb. I can't speak. Only a moan will come out.

Looking around from what I can, I see my own blood around the table. They took samples from me, tested my skin strength, tested my healing strength, tested my bone strength. They felt my stomach, looking for organs. Asked me questions about my scar, which the answers came out in slurs.

They ran more tests, more exams, and when they were finished they took a picture of me. They said it was confidential to why they had to have it, but whatever it was, it can't be good. 

"Joel, don't open up any of your stitches once you regain mobility. We don't want to start any infections. But if you do, " a pause,  "let us know," Finn says in a hushed tone.

I try to nod but it doesn't happen. Finn nods as if to say he understood. Almost immediately, I'm pushed onto the floor. I hit hard, wincing at the little pain I can feel. Two men pick me up, one under each arm with my feet dragging.

They rush me out the door. I turn to look back and see Finn cleaning up the station. I get a whiff of bleach before the men snap my head back forward.

Ellie P.O.V.

I can't feel anything in my body.

"Ellie, time to go," Finn says as he picks me up from the table, like a baby.

I want to fight back but I can't.

The cleansing process wasn't terrible until they cut into my bite to get a sample of skin and tissue. That hurt like hell. I tried to stop them, but my arms were strapped down and so was my head. I kicked and kicked, trying to make them stop. One of the doctors had it and slammed my legs down on the table and I heard a snap before I felt it.

My left knee didn't look right and it ached like crazy. It started to burn and then it seemed to scream at me, turning into a fire.

"What the hell!" I screamed at everyone in the room. I was squirming like a fish, trying to get away.

"What the hell!"

That wasn't me screaming. Finn pushed one of the doctors and pointed at the other.

"This wasn't a part of it! Someone pop it back into place or so help me-"

"Watch your words Finn," I hear a woman's voice over the intercom.

He bites down on his lip and goes back up by my head.

The doctor straps down my right leg and then grabs my left one. He takes a deep breath and looks at me.

"Take a deep breath," he says to me.

I do as he says, raising my eyebrows, and crack! I scream out at the pain he has caused me. Immediately after, he straps down my left leg. I feel tears streaming down the sides of my face. I bite my lip to stop screaming.
