Invader Dib 07
10th of November
Atlas Park Hospital
Gir sat in her hospital bed and sighed. She was bored and wanted to go home, it had been several days since her abduction and rescue. While the doctors had said she was physically healthy, there were still concerns about her mental state.
Dib had forced his way into her mind, while he only copied some data, the feeling of having someone crawl around in her head against her will still gave her nightmares that left her feeling weak and hollow, but at least she was getting some help with that. Looking over, she smiled at the sleeping form of Patti. Ever since they had rescued her, Patti had refused to leave her side.
She was tempted to start looking through some of the presents she'd been given when she heard shouting coming from the hallway, Patti quickly woke and moved to the door, but Gir waved at her to step back when she recognized one of the voices.
"Look, I can walk, yes? Then get out of my way."
"Mister Seraph, you're still recovering, you've had over half your ribs cracked and several internal organs suffered several lacerations. You shouldn't even be walking!"
The door opened and Seraph staggered in, dressed in his civvies, Gir noticed the bulk of bandages under his shirt, an exasperated nurse followed him in. "Mister Seraph, you should go back to your room immediately, your going to tear open your stitches if you keep this up." she exclaimed.
Seraph turned. "I have been here several days now, I wish to see my daughter, and if I do mess my self up... stuff it. I'm footing the bill anyway, so you can milk some more cash out of me."
The nurse mutters something about taking it up with her superior and left the room, when she was gone Seraph walked to the bed and gave Gir a hug. "God Gir, you okay? They taking care of you and all that?"
Gir smiled and carefully returned the hug. "Yeah daddy, they say my body's okay, but they still want to do some checks on my head... to make sure..." she trailed off, a pained look on her face.
Seraph tightened the hug. "Its okay Gir, he's gone now... he can never hurt you again." He replied.
Patti came over and taped Seraph on the shoulder. "You sure dad, Is he really gone?" a slight look of doubt on her face.
"Yeah... he's gone, even if he did survive tearing a hole in his own heart, there's no way he could have survived the blast when the base blew."
Patti nodded. "And what about what that nurse said?" Seraph was about to answer when the door opened and in walked the nurse followed by Tish. "Mister Seraph, this young lady was looking for you. Also, I have orders to make sure you return to your room."
Seraph hoped off the bed and held his arms out. "Come on, I made it here with out keeling over, I'm okay."
Tish gave him an evil grin. "Oh really?" she asked, giving him a slight poke in the chest.
Seraph let out an almost feeble whimper and doubled up, the color draining from his face. "Traitor." He wheezes as he slid to the ground.
Tish shook her head and smiled. "You're the one that said you needed a week of rest, now come on or I'll poke you again."
Seraph got to his feet and grumbled. "Okay, okay, I'll go." He turned to Gir and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Seeing as I'm not allowed to come see you, maybe next time you can pay me the visit?"
Gir gave him another cautious hug. "Okay daddy, I'll see you later."
She and Patti giggled at Tish helped Seraph up and lead him out of the room, when the door closed Gir leaned back on the bed, all the excitement had left her a little tired. "Patti, I'm gonna have a nap... can you wake me up if something happens... or I have a nightmare?"
Patti leaned over and kissed Gir. "Okay... them maybe if your up to it, a sponge bath?" Patti gave Gir a cheeky grin.
"Ooooh, yes please." Gir smiled as she drifted off.

Seraph grumbled as he climbed back into his bed, trying not to show how much the trip to Gir's room had tired him. When he was finally settled, the nurse asked Tish to make sure he didn't do anything to aggravate his wounds before leaving.
Tish lent on the side of the bed. "Sooo, beside you annoying the staff, I take it everything's going okay?" she asked.
Seraph made himself comfortable. "Yeah, talked to Ifrit and the head of the sabers, while they didn't like what I did, they understand why I did it. Also had a talk with some longbow reps that went in to the base."
"Oh, what did they have to say?"
"They dug through what was left, found a whole bunch of stuff that points to it actually being a spider base, they thought it had been abandon ages ago due the shivians. They also found the remains of Dib's body."
"And?"
"His head and most of his spine was missing, they believe that it was probably destroyed in the blast.... But I don't know I can't shake the feeling.... Ah never mind, you don't need to hear me being paranoid."
"Well, if you don't want talk about it, that's okay, now shove over a bit." Seraph shuffled to on side so Tish could sit on the bed. "Sooo Seraph, wana continue our interrupted movie night?"
Seraph raised an eyebrow then smiled. "Sure, I do warn you, I think the nurse slipped me some pain killers. so I might drift off or something."
Tish giggled "kay, just don't snore or anything, okay?"
He smiled and rolled his eye's as he turn the TV on and relaxed.

White manor
Jack sat in the darkened control room, he was dressed in his civilian cloths, he didn't what he was about to do to shame the name of the patriot. He slowly made his way to the elevator and went up to the mansion, his tread was leaden, like a dead man walking. Stoping outside of Mimi's room, he entered the code and unlocked it.
As the door swung open, he say Mimi was lying on the bed, after the incident with the room had been striped of anything that could be used as a weapon, leaving it like a prison cell. She slowly rolled over and looked at jack, a slight look of curiosity in her gaze.
Jack opened the door wide and stepped out of the way. "Mimi... you're free to go." He muttered, feeling the word almost turn to ash in his mouth.
She looked at him blankly. "But... what about my crimes?"
"I don't want to see any harm come to you... so.... I'm letting you go."
"Jack, your going to be aiding a criminal... The Patriot-"
He cut her off. "I'm not doing this as the Patriot... he retired three hours ago... I'm doing this as Jack White... the man that loves you." the last sentence was almost a whisper.
Mimi stepped up to him. "Jack... I..."
"Please, go... but maybe one day when this is all over... I hope you can come back..."
Mimi nodded and stood on her toes to kiss Him, she let it linger for a few seconds stepping back, as she faded into the shadows. Jack saw a tear roll down her face. "Thank you" she said as she faded into the shadows, after a few seconds, Jack knew he was alone.
