New Elysium: Weapons of War (Book 2)

Pink Bandaids With Unicorns On Them Part 5

*Dedicated to AuthorJMColes  because taivaan_sininen and myself, Red_Leasia couldn't help but think of you when we were writing some of these scenes!

*Also dedicated to Ashabellanar4life because we just had way too much fun laughing over this chapter... especially about the band-aids. XD

Nova's opened into the harsh light forcing him to close them again, cringing.

Two faces gazed down at him. The one he recognized, although he didn't know his name. He'd seen the neuro cyberneticist's face on his Pirate Queen's ship when he'd interrupted Nova finally getting what he wanted.

"You like the show, doc?" He managed, wincing as he spoke.

The other was a beautiful dark-skinned woman that he'd never seen before, but she wore a doctor's jacket, so he assumed she was at least the assistant of the man in front of him.

He felt nauseated realizing that he could feel more than see Amy Larsson nearby. He felt snatches of mental conversation from her, her concern radiated outwards to him. She was literally making him sick through that leftover connection from Blue. Which was ironic, considering he wanted her so damn badly.

"Amy?" He gasped, looking around the room. His head was spinning for a moment and he closed his eyes against the lights.

"I'm here," he heard her voice from across the room. She didn't sound pleased at all. He tried raising himself up off the table to get a better look at her only to find that he was strapped down.

"Oh come on! Seriously?" He wiggled his arms to no avail, his gaze swept over accusingly to the neuro-cyberneticist.

He heard a door bang open somewhere near his feet and saw a splash of crimson that could only be Red.

"Seriously Nova, is this why we got interr--," Red halted as he looked Nova over from head to toe, his eyes going wide with astonishment. He stepped closer, "Why are there fucking pink band-aids all over you?"

Nova's eyes widened. "What?" He swung his gaze back over to Null as it was clearly Null in control, because she was chewing on her lip as she tried to hide her own amusement. Nova stared at her in disbelief. "Pink?! Seriously?"

"Rutherford's extent of medical knowledge," she just said and shrugged.

"I'm going to kill him!" Nova began to struggle against the restraints which turned out to be a bad idea, his right arm was incredibly sore. He paused fighting nausea and his aching arm.

"I may have helped..." Null adds in a low voice, blushing.

Well, that changes a few things.

The neuro-Cyberneticist frowned at her and Nova couldn't help feeling a twinge of triumph even at this hour. That's right doc. She touched me, not you.

"Where do you even find pink band-aids with unicorns on them?" Red asked glancing at Null, who only shrugged.

"UNICORNS?!!" He looked back at Null, his eyes wide with horror. He pulled at the restraints again, "No way, no fucking way, Amy. This is a joke, right? Tell me that I don't have pink band-aids all over me."
