Wiping some dust off the mirror, KB watched the hidden lab slowly dwindle away into the night. Of course, upon inspection he saw only one of the headlights was working. It was more than enough to light a way however, and for him to keep the car on the road. The thing was built like a tank, and as such KB could only assume it was an old car, as opposed to the cheaper cars of the modern ages.
In any case, a long trail of dirt and dust was following behind them as they sped down along the road. Heading towards the Black Company lands, or so KB assumed. He couldn't really tell where the hell he was going. Either way, it was only a couple of hours before KB had to stop, or else risk falling asleep at the wheel and killing the two of them. Locking the doors, and resting his hand on the chainsaw next to him, KB's head hung as he fell into a deep sleep.
Shivering, he couldn't help but tremble from the cold. The car was damn cold, as was outside. Kobei was wrapped in quite a few blankets though, which was all that really mattered. That, and she'd likely be safe for the night. If anyone came to mess with them and their car, they'd be met with a rusty chainsaw.

Having awoke several hours later, KB took a quick look around. There was some old water, which he took a swig of thirstilly. It tasted a bit bad, but overall it was at least hydrating. Chances were he wouldn't get sick from it. Of course, he drank sparingly, for he had to think of Kobei.
Turning over on the seat, he leaned over and into the back, to gently press against Kobei's shoulder. trying to wake her as softly as he could, he'd only pat her a little bit. If possible, he wanted her awake before he simply started pouring things down her throat. It seemed the night had gone off without any threats, and though his muscles ached all over from tiredness and stiffness of cold, KB was sure Kobei would be warm and safe.
Now if only the car's interior wasn't so dusty.

Kobei would let out a throaty murmur, and stir around. She kept her eyes shut, and pulled back both arms to aid her sitting up. It was difficult, but she managed her way, safely.
Pulling the blanket up around her body, she turned her attention to KB, who had woken her.

It was only now that KB could really register how Kobei looked, and sigh heavily. He loved her, even if she was hurt, it just meant he'd have to look out for her even more. Still, the damage wasn't pretty, and he couldn't help but wonder who could possibly be cruel enough to do such a thing. The thought was revolting, and he barely held back tears of rage as he looked upon her. Whoever had hurt her would pay dearly, and he had the chainsaw to prove it. "You're alright. It's safe now." He said, his voice a bit shaky. It was KB's voice, in a sense. Much more normal than before, having lost the ancient way it had been.

Safe was a good thing to hear.
She sighed heavily, and held out one arm, feeling around the front of the car, she tried to find her way to him. Scooting forward a bit, to try and get a little closer.
"It's been so long, what happened ?" She said, clearing her throat. The last few words being clear as day.

KB shrugged slightly. He didn't have a real answer for her, so he just said the first thing that leapt to mind. "I don't know." It was simple, and honest. KB hadn't a cllue what had happened, or what was going on. All he knew was to eat, drink, sleep, and drive.

Kobei would rest her hand on the shoulder of the driver's seat.
"Where would there be clothing to cover me? It's cold."

Silly Kobei, so practical at times. Of course, KB didn't mind, and upon glancing about, he quickly found the spare clothes that had been folded up. Reaching over the seat, he gently lay them on the stuff beside her. He then took her hand from where it rest on the seat, and guided it onto the clothing. "Here you go. Do you need help?" He asked, blushing a bit. He wasn't ashamed to see her nude, but he'd lost his objective approach from before. Now he was a man, with a muilated naked woman in his car.
Oi.

"If I need help, I will ask, but thank you."
Kobei would remove the blanket, and pick up what seemed like a shirt, she would open the bottom, and slip in slowly. Her body was still in pain from where the tubes were. Suprisingly enough, her body was healing back to it's original state. However, she would have many scars.
Her weak arms pulled the shirt down, and over her torso, covering bandages that would now have been soaked through with the fluid that was keeping her alive. It did not matter, she wouldn't get infected over it.
Now for the pants. This was a challenge for her. To lay back in the car, and try to pull them on. She got one leg in easaily, and tried to pull in her other. Her leg cramped up, and she yelped in pain as the rest of her body felt it. The back seat of the car didn't provide alot of room.

Wincing at her yelp, KB turned over and stared out past the windshield. He didn't need to watch her get dressed, and if she wanted help she'd ask. Letting his fingers thrum against the steering wheel, he waited for her to finish. Of course there was little room, all the spare room had been taken up by junk he'd found in the labs.
At least it looked like junk.

Kobei would finally pull on the bottoms to her attire. Her leg still hurt from cramping, but at least the pain throughout her entire body came to a halt.
"I'm decent." she said, laughing under her breath. It was funny to see someone be fidgety about such a simple task. Almost cute even.
Her hand would glide across the seat, and feel things that were not familiar to her. "What's all of this?"

"Ok." He answered, the sound of him turning gracing Kobei's ears. Facing her once more, he let his eyes run over her briefly. Dressed, right on. "Hmm? Just stuff I found back there. I thought some of it might be useful." He said, not bothering to mention what some of the things were. Chainsaws and power drills for example weren't a neccisity, but he'd brought them as well. "Yeah... I think I'm lost actually." He added, apologetically.

Kobei coughed, her throat choking from the tubing that was till recently inside.
"Take the main road, and head south from the Abandoned building near the crypt, actually, I think you've been doing right so far." She coughed again. "You just need to head downward, as you've been going side to side."
Kobei had taken the road north from the BC to reach the crypt earlier.

"Alright." He said, as he got as comfortable as he could. Turning the key in the ignition, the thing once more came to life. The engine rumbled, though a bit smoother now that it had some fresh use in it. "Buckle up." He joked, as he gently eased his foot onto the gas. The car started forward, and soon he was on track, the car jiggly only occasionally from little bumps in the road. "I think I might've found enough gas to get us almost all the way there...Maybe."

"If the car stalls, we could make the rest of the way on foot. Or until we found some other way to power up the car." She started to feel around the seat for things that would seem familiar, no luck what-so ever.
