Liam was at her side in an instant, catching her before she hit her head on the floor. He held her close and then the door opened and Kyle walked in. He scanned the space before his eyes landed on Kasey and Liam.
He sighed, "Let me take her. You can," He paused, not sure if this as the best idea but it was the only option they had, "You can come back to mine."
Liam nodded and Kyle took Kasey in his arms and picked her up, "I'll have to deal with the police but-"
"Here's my address, meet me there." Kyle said before he disappeared.
Liam rubbed at his face, stepping out of the van and trying to not slip on the ice Kyle left in his wake.
Kyle slid through the window of his apartment, heading to place Kinesie down on his bed. He sighed and went to change out of his suit, waiting for her to wake up.
Kasey twitched, still unconscious. Her breathing quickened for a few breaths, slowed for another few, and then quickened again. Her eyes moved under her eyelids rapidly.
And yet she didn’t wake.
Kyle grabbed some painkillers and a glass of water, placing them on the bedside table. He sat down at his desk, watching in case he needed to wake her up soon.
“Nonono…” Kasey moaned, her breath catching. A hand went to her throat and claws at it as if there was something constricting at her neck.
Kyle leaned over, removing her hand and gently shaking her shoulders, "Kinesie, wake up."
Kasey’s eyes flickered under her eyelids as she was shaken. She moaned again quietly and tried to roll out of his arms.
"Come on, you need to wake up." He muttered, shaking her a little harder then before.
Kasey’s breathed stopped for a few seconds before she took a deep breath and… didn’t wake up. Her eyelids fluttered some, butnit was still about a minute of shaking before she gasped and sat up quickly, her forehead nearly colliding with Frost’s.
Kyle stumbled back a few steps, "Finally, you're awake. How are you feeling? There's some water and pain killers if you want them." He gestured to the bedside table.
Kasey peered at him for a moment, her breathing heavy from the shock of being shaken awake.
“Who… Who are you? And where am I?” she asked breathlessly.
Kyle leaned back in his seat, "Kyle. Or as Matt referred to me, Frost," He gave her a two fingered salute, "Nice to meet you, Kinesie. And you're at my place. The safest place for you right now."
“Where’s Liam?”
Of course that was the next question out of her mouth. She wouldn’t have left his side if she had been conscious, not even after her earlier thoughts.
"Safe. He's on his way," He crossed his arms, "Take the painkillers."
“How do you know he’s safe? They could grab him again at any time. Is he alone?” Kasey questioned, sitting up slowly. Even that made her head spin, and she closed her eyes with a groan.
"He went with the paramedics and the police," Kyle sighed, "He'll be fine, Kinesie."
Kasey sighed and rubbed her head before holding her hand out for the painkillers without opening her eyes. “Fine… As long as he’s safe…”
“He is,” He replied, grabbed the painkillers and placed them in her hand, “Can I have your real name, please?”
“Why do you need it?” Kasey asked wearily before tossing them into her mouth and chasing them down at a drink of water.
Kyle shrugged, doing a single spin in his seat, “I was hoping we could be friends. And friends know each other’s names.”
Kasey sighed and rubbed at her head again before finally opening her blue eyes and watching him carefully.
“Kasey. My name is Kasey,” she answered quietly.
Kyle smiled softly back, “Nice to meet you properly, Kasey. I’m a big fan.”
"Thanks, I guess…" Kasey mumbled, unsure of how to respond. "You're a newer hero? Or have I just not seen you around for some reason?"
“No, I’m fairly new. I moved a few weeks ago and have been keeping to the shadows…” He shrugged.
"Probably a good idea," Kasey murmured. The crime activity there was ridiculous, and she was wondering if she wouldn't be better off elsewhere… It didn't seem like she was helping anyone there, anyway. "What made you come here?"
“Needed a change in scenery,” Again, Kyle shrugged, staring out the window, “And something to keep me busy so here was the best option.”
