The Next Generation

" mymi can but she returned to the ocean" she smiled " I am sorry I can't contact her "

[Lady Jenn]

"Why don't you go and sit with her?" Isaac asked Geri. "It might calm her down a bit if she comes around to you being sat there."

She still hadn't regained consciousness, but she now had a drip and a blood transfusion attached to her arm, while a scar was visible on her chest and her knee was heavily bandaged.

[Lawshenk]

She took her hand" my love"

[Lady Jenn]

"We were in luck," Mark said, walking over. "Isaac's blood was a match for her, he's not good with having his blood taken but he said if it meant it saved her life his discomfort was a minor inconvenience."

"Geri..." Katya said groggily, trying to focus. "Wh...I remember being in a coffee shop then...everything went black."

[Lawshenk]

" katya my love your ok your still here I promise I won't let you go anywhere "

[Lady Jenn]

"You have Nicole to thank for that Katya," Martin said, leaning over to check the drip. "I'm going to have to insist you stay in this bed for 24 hours though so we can make sure there aren't any more nasty surprises coming."

"I..." she winced, trying to move. "Pain..."

"Isaac's working on getting you painkillers," Martin said. "Unfortunately we don't have any medical supplies lying easily to hand."

[Lawshenk]

" I could just head of and grab them for you but I promise you I'm going nowhere"

[Lady Jenn]

"Might be better if Isaac gets them," Martin said to her quietly. "Right now I think it's better if you stay here to keep her calm."

"I thought you'd gone," Katya said weakly. "I...I had a dream that you'd left me, it felt so real..." Tears were forming in her eyes, but she was in too much pain to brush them away.

[Lawshenk]

" I'm not going to leave you " we need each other and the kiddies need us too"

[Lady Jenn]

"I think I just..." she closed her eyes, trying to calm herself. "I think it was just the shock of..." She suddenly noticed something was wrong. "Geri...I can't move my leg, what happened while I was unconscious?"

[Lawshenk]

" I asked them to to do you ligament" she looked at her " sorry

[Lady Jenn]

"You're lucky I'm so groggy," she said, trying to laugh. "I don't know whether to kiss you or slap you right now, although I'm not sure I can do either without doubling over with pain."

[Lawshenk]

" I am sure Nicole or Lydia will slap me for you '

[Lady Jenn]

"Are you trying to give me ideas?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Maybe a kiss will make me feel better? I would say kiss my knee better but I don't know how well that'll work."

[Lawshenk]

She bent down and kissed her on the forehead she watched in case it just a trap to hit her

[Lady Jenn]

She moved her bionic arm round so she could pull her into a deeper kiss, not caring Martin walked past, deciding to give them a little privacy. "Doesn't really kill the pain much, but it makes me feel a bit better."

[Lawshenk]

" if it helps it's good "

[Lady Jenn]

"You know...if you were having second thoughts about us I'd rather you said," she said, watching her. "If this is going to work I need you to be honest with me, I've survived two near death experiences, I can deal with honesty."

[Lawshenk]

She stared at Lydia " I was but nearly loosing you made me realise how wrong I was "

[Lady Jenn]

"I just want you to be happy," she said, smiling. "I promise I'm not normally stuck in a hospital bed this often, this is what I get for trying to be heroic."

[Lawshenk]

" that's why we're retiring ! Right?"

[Lady Jenn]

"That and I want some proper alone time with you," she said, smirking, before wincing. "Okay, I might have to behave myself for a bit, just for the sake of my body."

[Lawshenk]

"ok well there goes the naughty ideas I've been having,"

[Lady Jenn]

"Well, once I've got off this bed I'm sure we can improvise," she said, smirking. "I have all sorts of ideas too."

At that moment Nicole walked in, Lydia close behind, walking over to her. "Geri, I'm glad to see you're awake," Nicole said. "I though-"

"You saved my life Nicole," Katya said, interrupting her. "You shouldn't be apologising, I should be thanking you."

[Lawshenk]

" lydia where is the shopping?"
