Tyehn

“Hold still, you big baby.”

“Easy for you to say.”

The medic grinned as he finished redoing my stitches. Overhead lights cast an ugly yellow luminance over the procedure room.

A few sticky pads had been stuck all over my body, taking my vitals, but except for the gash in my belly I was just fine.

Better than fine.

The memory of Maki’s lips against my own lingered in my mind. It made dealing with the pain of the minor surgery much easier to bear.

A knock came at the door.

Due to the hectic couple days I’d had, I jumped and the medic bitched me out for not holding still.

Seconds later Dax came strolling in, still slinging that damn crossbow. I was starting to wonder if it shared a bed with him and his old lady.

“Tyehn, it seems you can’t not get hurt.”

“Not without disrupting my routine.”

“You should pick a different routine. Seriously.”

He slapped me on the shoulder, causing the medic to glare at him dangerously.

But Dax was the type who just didn’t care.

“How did that molecular sword work out?”

“Now that I had no complaints about. Worked like a charm. I felt like Gonnad the Barbarian with that thing in my hands.”

The medic rolled his eyes, but I couldn’t figure out why.

Maki had told me that she liked an old Earth holovid about a barbarian named Gonnad.

At least that's what I thought his name was.

Unless... Gonnad was a legendary hero from Earth so maybe I was being blasphemous.

“Well, I’m glad that you made it out in one piece.” He stared at the cut on my abdomen. “Or at least mostly in one piece.”

“Yeah, you should see the other guy.”

I cocked an eyebrow up at Dax and tried to sound as casual as possible.

“So how is Keith doing?”

Dax’s face scrunched up and he took a breath before answering.

“Today, he’s doing fine—mentally, at least. You banged him up pretty good.”

“Today?”

“Yeah, the other day his brain scans came back all weird. But now he’s feeling like his old self again. He asked about you. Apparently, he has no memory of what happened after you guys started working out.”

“That could be the concussion I gave him, but I don’t think so.”

Dax arched an eyebrow in query, and I glanced over at the medic.

“If you’re all done, can you give us a minute?”

“Sure, you’re good to go, big guy. Just take it easy for a few days so you don’t bust your stitches.”

“I’d like nothing better than to take it easy. Thanks.”

The medic strolled out of the room and shut the door.

Once we were alone, I told Dax what the Puppet Master said about the Ancient Enemies.

“Non-corporeal beings? That’s a new one on me. How do you fight something you can’t see or touch?”

I shrugged, which sent pain shooting through my newly stitched wound.

“I’m sure the scientists are working on it.”

“Time was, you were a scientist.”

“I still am, really. I just kill on the side.”

Dax pursed his lips and leaned against the exam table.

“So, the Ancient Enemies, they can take over anyone?”

“Yeah, though some people seem to be more resistant than others.
