Vile Exile

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Sage's PoV

Opening my eyes uneasily, the sound of a heart monitor beeping through the room annoyingly, I look down at the small cut Juanita had given me, my bones aching an incredible amount, I look to my left to see Gina lied in a hospital bed asleep, the slash on her shoulder stitched up "Your awake." Moving my attention towards a nurse who walks towards me "Is she dead?" I ask uneasily, my voice strained "Juanita Roller is Deceased that's to you and Gina." She says with a smile, exhaling I lay my head back "What's wrong with me?" Her eyebrows rising as she sits beside me "The paralysis Juanita forced upon to you took a lot out of your strength. And massively weakened your bones and muscles. Not to mention you pushing yourself to the limit. Gina told us you practically burnt the paralytic poison out of you." She explains, nodding I look up at the ceiling "Makes sense..." I murmur, hearing her hum she stands before turning and exiting the room without another word I exhale.

Pressing my right hand on my chest, I try to sit up but fail miserably as I groan, the curtain beside me being pulled open by Gina who's wincing "Stop pushing yourself idiot" She growls, falling back down I lean over and pull the curtain back closed, it's then pulled Open again revealing Levi and Gina, Gina lied on the bed, Levi glaring at me "Your Alive But your basically glued to this hospital bed." He hums, clenching my jaw as he walks towards me he pulls my shirt up and checks the bruises and cuts on my body "So you killed Juanita but you got yourself incredibly injured." He hums, feeling his thumb run across a small cut on my side I wince slightly "Incredibly injures? Don't be absurd." I grumble.

Staring at the hospital wall I scowl, Gina have been moved into a different hospital room, Levi down in the cafeteria getting food, I stare at the wall, my jaw clenched and my bones aching "Frontlines General Sage Kageyama kills Juanita Roller. Plastered all over the galactic gold!" Looking to the side at Hugo who's smirking "I don't know why they are making such a big deal about it." I grumble, hearing him laugh he shakes his head as he walks towards me "Maybe cause a certain one in a million killed a psychopathic villain." He hums as he sits on the side of my bed I inhale "she's a foot-soldier for Damion Goddard. It's not that big of a deal." I mumble "You aren't bothered. How typical." He retaliates quickly, rolling my eyes I lean back as he stands "Catch ya later killer. I have a meeting." He hums, sitting up uneasily I groan "Meeting..?" I ask, my voice strained and croaky "I'll tell you about it tomorrow." He murmurs before exiting.

Authors PoV

As Levi waltzes around the hospital, his hands tucked into his pockets, his million dollar eyes trained on the floor as he walks towards Sage's room. The sound of another person walking towards him causes him to stop "Excuse me, do you know where uh... what was it? Sage Kageyama's room is?" as Levi looks up at six people stood staring at him anxiously "Uh.. Yeah, if you'd follow me.." He says uneasily as he beckons for them to follow he begins walking towards his boyfriends room.

With quick movement, Levi opens Sage's hospital room door and enters, tension visible in his posture as he pulls the curtain to "Hey babe, look I can mov-" Sage begins to say as he turns to face Levi and the six behind him "Mum... Dad.." Sage whispers as he leans forward, they enter quietly "Thatcher." The tallest male says, the rest of them wincing slightly "It's Sage." the swordsman responds, his voice serious whilst his eyes remain cold "Thatch..." A ginger woman whispers, Sage moving so he's sat on the edge of the bed, wincing very prominently "Who's Thatcher...?" Levi asks walking towards Sage "I am. Or I was. Thatcher isn't my name, It's Sage." The swordsman responds sternly, his family slumping visibly "Very well. We saw you in the intergalactic blast so... and heard you was in the hospital." A tall brown haired male says, Levi scowling as Sage sighs "Levi, this is my adoptive family, my parents Krissy and Julian, my siblings, Sherena, Arron, Lilith and Zeke. Family, this is Levi Colhart, my boyfriend." Sage says as he gestures to them, his family stare in shock at Levi who's moving uneasily closer to Sage.

Sage's PoV

Closing my eyes as I Stand I press my hand into my abdomen "Boyfriend." Julian murmurs "Levi Colhart? As in the expert marksman in the assault squad?" Zeke asks, nodding I grab Levi's hand "we properly met in the Assault squad." I reply sternly, Levi looks to me with a small smile "General Kageyama Killer! We're throwing a party tomorrow for your victory!" Staring at Hugo who's just walked in with Amanda and Bonita "And you have a room full of people." Amanda Murmurs, Bonita beaming as she sprints to Sherena who embraces her tightly "BonBon!" She cheers as she spins her around "Sherena!" Bonita cheers "Besties for life!" They both In unison as they stand upright "Great." I breath as I lean back.

Laying flat out in the hospital bed, Levi walks over to me and moves to lay next to me "Your real name is Thatcher?" He asks, sighing I nod, my jaw tightening "Thatcher Haze Kageyama. Now it's Sage Joseph-Kageyama." I reply, watching as he scowls he climbs on top of me, his arms wrapping around my neck "Why'd you change it?" He asks, looking down slightly, avoiding his gaze "My real parents named me Sage Joseph." I reply finally, staring at the ground "My mum gave birth to me and a few weeks later my father died. I was given up by my mother and put on the next ship to another planet. My adoptive family tried to press the name Thatcher onto me when I was adopted at the age of ten. I refused." I explain, looking back up to him he scowls "But why?" He asks, shaking my head I lean back fully now "My father chose that name for me. Sure, my mother was a bitch for giving me up but I never got to meet my father. I like to think he's a good guy, the type of guy who would've accepted me for being the demon dragon. The type of guy who loved me like I was actually his child." I continue, a small smile spreading across his face as he reaches up and places his hand on my cheek "I bet he was just like you. Kindhearted, loving, strong-willed. I'm sure he would've loved you an incredible amount. Like I love you." He smiles as he leans down and kisses me softly "I love you too." I whisper.
