I'm just the way that the doctor made me
Who: Kobra, Lydia. Open to anyone else who wants to see a very sad KK return
Where: Anywhere between the lighthouse and his house near the fountain
When: Day 57
What: He has returned!
Warnings: Severe burns/scarring may come up.
Kobra wakes up in the lighthouse. Fuck! This place freaks him out, even more when there's no Loki here. He thinks back to when he saw that ghostly motherfucker and he takes the spiral stairs two at a time, bursting out of the lighthouse like it's on fucking fire.
Once he's outside, he realizes that he's achy all over. His skin feels stretched and awkward and itchy in some places and when he lifts up his shirt, he's got a gnarly patch of scar tissue still forming over part of his stomach. He winces and pulls the shirt down. How long has he been gone?

She stops before reaching him, still unsure. "... Kobra?"
no subject
Taking a deep breath, he moves towards her quickly, pulling her into a hug, whether she wants it or not. He ignores the pain, because fuck this place if it's going to keep rippin them apart.
no subject
The thing with Bruce, it was so minor and he just took off! And then not even his creepy family knew where he was and his brother was gone, too, and-- "Did they take you? Kobra, you've been gone for days."
no subject
He presses his face into her hair and closes his eyes as he gets flashes of memory. It's hot. It's so hot and he can't move. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was just trying to go to Gabe's house to see if he could fix shit for me."
no subject
The apologies have her worried. He seems so shaken and hurt? Is he hurt? She wants to look him over but she doesn't want to move. Right now logical, cool, and collected Lydia has been replaced with an over-emotional, slightly manic version that's just thankful he came back to her.
"It's okay. Shhhh, shh, it's okay. You're okay." She reaches up to smooth his hair and kisses the side of his face. "Never do that to me ever again."
no subject
"I'll try not to. I didn't mean to." He squeezes her again. "This is where I wanna be."
no subject
"They were looking for you. Both of you. We all were." Well, she was looking for Kobra specifically. Minor technicality. Now that she has him back, she can focus on whatever she needs to do to make him happy and keep him safe.
no subject
Party's name is suspiciously absent and he knows Party would tear shit up for him. No. No no no. He needs his brother. He needs Party.
He shakes his head. "Lyds, what's going on?"
no subject
"You both disappeared at the same time. You and Party. Jet contacted the network asking if anyone knew where you were. He's not here, Kobra. He hasn't turned up yet."
no subject
"Maybe he's just hiding or freaking out that I was missing." Oh, please. He needs Party. It's not okay to not have him. He needs him.
His heart is pounding in his chest and he's having a hard time breathing. Instead of even trying, he just sort of crumples to his knees.
no subject
So she sinks to her knees in front of him and gathers him to her chest. "Shhh. Just breathe, baby. Just breathe." Lydia knows this feeling well. It's how she felt when he said goodbye. He could cry if he wants to, she wouldn't say a damn word.
"I love you and I'm right here."
no subject
She loves him and he loves her, too. It's not easy to wrap his brain around, but he does love her.
"No one's ever called me baby before. Like... not like that." Not like he was precious or anything.
no subject
"Good. I like knowing I'm your first." Because it's kind of like leaving a mark that he's not likely to forget. Something no one else will be able to give him when he strays. "Do you want to go home?" His home, she means. To see what's left of his family. She'll go anywhere he wants.
no subject
He needs Party and he's worried as fuck, but he at least needs to know that everyone else is intact.
no subject
At first, Bruce doesn't quite believe that he sees Kobra because it wouldn't be so easy to just run into him, but no, that's definitely him.
"Kobra?" He comes closer, pulling his hands out of his pockets. "How are you?"
no subject
"Bruce..." And then Bruce had better be ready for an armful of Kobra Kid, because it's coming at him. "They took me. I didn't make it to Gabe's." He doesn't remember, not really, but there are little flashes of pain that could be from his marred skin or they might just be memories of what had caused it. Every time he stretches the tender skin, fear rips through him again.
no subject
"Okay, okay. Ssh. You're okay now." Ha, sure. Are any of them okay? Is there any way to keep them from being abducted again? He pushes aside that bitterness and focuses on Kobra instead.
"Do you remember anything?"
no subject
"Just little things." He sighs. "Pain and shit. Only way I can tell I was gone is that I feel all shitty and there's shit that's half-healed."
no subject
no subject
"Burns. They're not like laser burns, either." He'd know. He's had a ton of them.
no subject
"No, they're from fire," he murmurs, looking him over again since he's this close for any other signs of damage before he straightens again and slides his glasses off. He doesn't put them away, just holds them in his hand, fiddling with the stem.
"Not too surprising since last we met you had some fire problems, but I do wonder how you got them." Accidentally self-inflicted? Worse?
no subject
This is totally scary as fuck, though. They took Lyds and then they took him and what the fuck? This place is just scaring him more and more. He wants to go. He doesn't care where. Can't the all just go somewhere else together?
no subject
Bruce wonders what Tony might have to say or think about Kobra being back and under Bruce's care. Not like that's going to stop Bruce at all and if Tony's tendency toward protective jealousy gets out of hand, he won't really stand for it. He just wonders if this is a conversation they'll have to have. Kobra isn't leaving Bruce's life, and he'd rather he and Tony got along.
no subject
no subject
He isn't expecting the sound of the lighthouse door bursting open, though, and for a second he's worried that he's pissed someone else off by wandering too close -- but it's not Loki, or even anyone unfamiliar, for that matter. And he looks a mess.
"... Shit. Kobra?"
no subject
His face falls when he turns and sees Galen. "Hi." It's not personal, but he needs his brother like nothing else.
no subject
"Hey, where were you? Are you alright?" He doesn't look it, of course, but Galen doesn't want to alarm him. Those burns look pretty bad.
no subject
He's shaking a little. Fuck, it's not even that cold out. "Is Kenz okay? You have her back when I don't, right?" He knows that Jet and Ghoul and Party have each other and Lyds has Bruce, but he doesn't know Kenzi's housemates as much as he should. He's pretty sure Galen and Jesse have her back, but he's gotta check, because he's a good sidekick.
no subject
Jet has spent a lot of time near the lighthouse. On the beach. It empties his mind enough so that he doesn't need to think, or be concerned at all. He can fix himself - or at least, patch himself up - this way. Jet watches the waves come up on shore, hands behind his back, and only has a mild heart attack when a very familiar killjoy slams out of the lighthouse and takes off.
At first, Jet thinks he's hallucinating, but - he follows after anyway, walking briskly at first, then - faster, running, calling out.
"Kobra Kid!"
no subject
"Jet!" He grins. "Jet Fuckin' Star!"
Jet hugs are some of the best hugs and he's going to steal one right now by attaching himself to Jet like he's a fucking starfish. A hurty, sad, scared starfish who needs his friends. Motherfuck.
no subject
"Where have you been?" Jet asks quietly, not letting Kobra pull away. No, it wouldn't do to let Kobra see his face right now, and he's not sure he can control it yet.
no subject
Jet especially makes him feel like he can get through anything as long as he's got them. He's like a fucking rock in a stormy sea of shit.

He moves closer. He's ready to follow Jet wherever. Really.
