goodluckkobra: (Way down)

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?

Lydia can't be sure that it's him at first. She doesn't trust her senses not to let her see something she wants so badly to see only to have the image vanish or twist into something terrifying. She changes course, moving hesitantly toward him with an armful of documents for the clinic. Her pace quickens the closer she gets in case there's something lying in wait to snatch him away from her again.

She stops before reaching him, still unsure. "... Kobra?"

She wants it. She's still a little stunned, but she wants it. The folder falls to the ground between them and so she can wrap both arms around him and hold him so tightly. "Wh- where did you go? Why did you leave? I told you not to go!"

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."

"What-- what's wrong?" Don't think she didn't notice that wince, Kobra. "What stuff? What do you remember?" Her grip on him loosens considerably but she doesn't dare let go.

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."
preytosociety: I really want you to leave, but I don't know how to say it without sounding like a dick (This is so awkward)

"Hurts where?" Where she held him, obviously. But anywhere else? "We should get you to the clinic or-- ... back to Jet Star and Fun Ghoul." Stupidest names ever, but they mean more to him than she does.

"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.
preytosociety: He might not even be Asian! (You can NOT trust anybody ever)

[personal profile] preytosociety 2013-04-07 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
He doesn't know. They didn't go together-- oh god. She doesn't pull away, but she doesn't pull him closer, either. Not if it hurts him. This is going to hurt enough as it is.

"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."

Oh, Kobra. She won't hit him with logic, harsh truths, or likelihoods. There's no point. They won't reassure him and she knows he already knows what the chances of Party 'just hiding' really are. He's in pain and she can't fix it with words. She's not sure if she can fix it at all.

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."
preytosociety: I thought it was a very sad handwritten book. (I did not know it was your diary.)

[personal profile] preytosociety 2013-04-09 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? That's where his mind goes? Well, it's better than anger or sadness or shutting down completely. He's still with her and he's focused on some adorable detail and she just has to laugh.

"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.

Kobra had said he wanted to lay low, which Bruce was prepared to respect -- he laid low all the way to India -- but he's been getting worried. Laying low is one thing, but Kobra should at least still be able to check in when Bruce calls him to make sure he's okay, right? In this place, it's too dangerous to disappear because you could actually disappear. And maybe Bruce shouldn't have a reason to be so concerned after their fight, but honestly, Bruce is more concerned about Kobra than anything. He'll take better precautions with himself in the future.

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?"

He's not quite ready for the armful, but that doesn't stop him from hugging him back once he has the armful. He sighs heavily to have his fears confirmed, and he rubs his hand gently over Kobra's back.

"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?"
greenisnteasy: (:| farsighted)

"What's half-healed?" Now he holds Kobra back at arm's length so he can take stock of him. The thought of him being abducted is troublesome enough without thinking about him being hurt, too. Obviously he knows they're not bringing people back for tea time, but Kobra still wearing evidence of his injuries is troubling and reminds him of Sam. As if Kobra weren't unstable enough.

Bruce frowns and starts to lean down when Kobra lifts his shirt, but then he stops and pulls out his reading glasses first, sliding them into place. Then he leans over and gently touches a patch of clear, healthy skin near the marks.

"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?
greenisnteasy: (:) hi i'm bruce)

"Okay. Okay." He glances around them and then nods toward the village. "Let's get you to the clinic and find something to put on those burns. Are you hungry? I might have something there. I definitely should have some tea still."

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.

Despite that first run-in with Loki - whom he hasn't seen since, strangely - , Galen still likes to wander down by the lighthouse on nice days. It's close by, so why not? He misses the water.

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?"
gleans: (say what?)

Galen notices that slight double-take, and he can't help it; he feels sort of bad.

"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.

He's been gone long enough.

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!"

Kobra isn't the only one who needs his friends. Jet gets his arms around Kobra and absolutely does not let go. He thought Kobra was gone. He'd accepted it. But Kobra's here, and Jet - he can't help it, he just holds Kobra close and hides his face.

"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.

"It will be soon enough," Jet murmurs, taking a deep breath. When he thinks he can handle it, he pulls back and looks Kobra over. "Are you hurt? Don't hide anything from me."

Nah, Jet would know something was wrong. He's definitely psychic that way - in any case, he takes in the healing burn, and frowns. Wow. That does not look okay. "You - what did they do? Is this the scientists work? Kobra Kid." His voice is a little tense. "What do you remember? Come here, we're going home."
