Edith had remained as close to Tokeru as the doctors allowed her to, in order to monitor him though she had no idea in hell what they were doing and if they did something wrong she likely would not be able to call it. However, she stayed and watched anyway, despite the fact that Tokeru was unconscious and did not need any form of support, despite the fact that she herself wanted to lay down, despite the fact that she wanted to check up on Kyley. She had rooted herself to the spot, unable to move to do anything except for something that would help Tokeru.
When they finished the operation and told her Tokeru's status, she smirked slightly, though it was only the hint of one and carefully trotted into the room, mindful of things that she could crash into or break as she was the number one certified clutz. She smiled, happy that Tokeru was at the very least alive, even if he was not healing at the fastest rate right at this moment. She did not care, as long as he was alright.

Tokeru was floating in a dreamlike state, aware of what the people were saying around him but unable to react, or care for that matter.
He knew that he should have died, and he knew he should wake up, but he could not bring himself to do so. He was completly content lying down there on the hard bed, staying in his coccoon or dreams.

Edith did not wish to disturb Tokeru, he needed his sleep, he needed his rest, he needed to take it easy and give himself time to heal his wounds. If he should have died there was no way that she was going to let him push himself so he ended up getting himself killed, she would not allow it. She would bring him friggin' breakfast in bed an guard him twenty four seven if that's what it took to keep him down and resting.

Within his dream world, it had been punctured by the p***k of a blade, Draegan was there.
"Yes my Dear Tokeru. I am inside your dreamworld. I have the ultimate power here. You see, the nano-bots in your system work on signals from your brain, and the chemical those blades were laced with cut those signals off, and also allowed me to come visit you. You risked your life to save a woman, poor poor Tokeru. Your sacrifice will have been in vain, she is not strong enough to avenge your death. I am personally surprised you are still alive. But then again, you have always surprised me."
Outside of his body, the wounds reopened, and bled over the bed.

As Tokeru began bleeding all over again, Edith gently cussed and she pressed the button to get the doctors back in the room. In the meantime, she wanted Tokeru awake so that he could sit up and help his blood flow to slow down. Gently she shook him, clasping his shoulder and shaking it back and fourth. "Angel," Edith said with pure concern, masking her terror, "you need to wake up for me. You need to sit up so your bleeding is not so bad and we need to bandadge you up."

In his dream world, Tokeru was huddling in a corner. Dreagan was killing his family again, and he was a small child, hiding from the slaughter, being protected by his mother and father. and just like the past, he was helpless to stop it. "Ka-san. Onegai, Yamero. Yamero." (he's japanese, cmon, get with the program. Tokeru? Cmon that is such a japanese name.) But it wouldn't stop. Draegan kept killing his mother, over and over and over, as he could only stare in horror.
That's when he heard Edith's voice. Telling him to wake up. This is all a dream, I can wake up from this. You have no power over me Draegan, this is my mind and i've had enough of you coming in here. SOD OFF YOU ******** that moment, three things happened. 1) Tokeru woke up, 2) The bleeding stopped almost immediatly, 3) the doctors came rushing in.

Despite him probably being incrediably sore from being tossed around, sliced up, and woozy from losing so much blood, Eden slammed into Tokeru, wrapping her arms around him, cradling his head like a child, bringing it to her own. She then gently kissed the top of his head, stroking him, brushing her hands through his crimson red hair. "It's okay," she said to Tokeru, she had seen the trembling that he had been going through, likely from a nightmare, "I'm here, Angel. I'm here." She ignored the doctors for a while, then waved them off, explaining she had given an accidental false alarm.

Tokeru was confused for a few seconds, the last thing he remembered was giving his blood to Edith, then it all came flooding back to him. Draegan, his parents, his mother being killed. It was all to much for him, but he could have born it, had Edith not smelled like his mother had. That pushed him over the edge, and he started crying.

Edith continued to cradle Tokeru in her arms, she did not know exactly what he had been through as she would have to be him and would have had to have seen what had happened, but she could sympathize for him, be there for him. She had him sitting upright, she was sitting beside him, closely, still cradling his head, combing her fingers through his hair. She had now taken his hand so he could squeeze hers or just have it there but she rubbed his hand to try and soothe him as she held him. "Aw," she said sweetly, softly, much like a mother, now rocking him back and fourth, "it's okay, Angel. You cry, let it all out. I'm here. It's just you and me."

Tokeru was tempted to do just as she suggested, but he could not bring himself to do so with another person in the room, especially her. Within a few seconds, he forced himself to stop.
"Crying will not bring my family back, and neither will killing Draegan, but when I kill him, atleast I will avenge their memories, and they can rest in peace."
He became aware of Edith holding him, and smiled. "Don't fret my sweet little temptress, i'm fine. Everything is alright now, everything is fine."

Edith continued to cradle him, she enjoyed cradling him, comforting him, being with him, knowing that he was going to be alright for now from what she had gathered. "You," she said as she kissed him on top of his head again and brought her cheek down so that it was now pressed tenderly to his so he could feel her jaw move as she talked, "don't have to stop. Crying is good, it makes you feel better. Don't think you're less of anything if you cry." What a friggin' hypocrite she was, telling him this when she would have stopped crying for the reason she told him he should not.

Tokeru smiled, and kissed her cheek gently. "No my dear. I can't dwell on the past. I cannot shed tears for them i've already made my peace with that. I have made my peace with their deaths, and I need to move on, but I cannot while Draegan still lives."
Tokeru forced himself into a sitting position, and swung his legs over the side of the cot. "Besides, he's got new weapons. And even though those are dead, you can be damn sure that the next ones will look exactly like me."
He kissed her cheek again, but this time left his mouth there and whispered."There are spies within us, as well as the NYHG. I've sent a message saying so to Will, if he is half the leader i think he is, he will deal with them immediatly. Draegan with any information is dangerous enough. If he has information about our bases, he could become invincible."

Simon entered the chapterhouse after doing all those security stuff you were suppose to do when you want to come inside. He remembered the twitch in Krii's eyes when he had mentioned Tokeru. Did the New York Hunter Group hate the Shadowstalkers so much? Seems like it. Simon cocked his Beretta 93R wondering what exactly had been written in that letter.
He traveled down stairs and entered the infirmary. The last place he had seen Tokeru. He put his gun back in it's place before entering the room and looking for Mr. Boss Man.

Edith seemingly ignored his kiss, not allowing herself to be side-tracked by it."Just because you cry," she assured in soft defiance, "it does not mean that you have come to to terms or have not accepted their passings. You can cry to let them know you care, cry to make yourself feel better. I will help you move on, I will help you avenge your family's deaths."
When Tokeru sat up and began sitting she was worried that he was going to get up and storm off to find Draegan again after he had just been attacked. "Yeah," she said, nodding softly, "but you sure as hell ain't going out there by yourself again. I'm not letting you go out so soon after having your a** kicked. Take it easy and don't make me drug you or punch you out to keep you resting. I am able to enforce house arrest so don't make me."
Edith somehow knew that after the kiss that he would say something, probably the way that he had been leaning closer and closer to her. "Of course," she whispered back softly, bringing her arms around him, "there are spies within us, you think I didn't know that? Don't worry about my brother, he can handle himself as well as his hunters. As for Draegan, invincibility is bullshit as far as I'm concerned, everything comes to an end one way or another."

Tokeru whispered. "I'm just worried for our safety. If Draegan knows the chapterhouse, and has spies inside the security systems, he could attack us from within and take over the chapterhouse, and it would be almost impossible to take it back. You saw those clones, you know as well as I do that most of the people here wouldn't stand a chance against them, and what's worse, if Draegan were to perfect them with the killing instincts and experience I have, they could be stronger than me. The gods know how close we both came to death yesterday. I won't be making that same mistake again. First thing we need to do is find some way of dealing with those spies, without letting Draegan know what we do. Any ideas."
He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her, to throw off any spies.
