The techs led Riyo back to the gurney and continued with their treatments of the other wounds she had sustained. Silence fell over them all as the two worked quickly. Once they were done they put their things away and headed out the door. The cuffs had been forgotten, knocked off and shuffled under the table. Neither seemed to remember as they left ready to report back to Suto and be done with it.
Once they were gone the room was eerily quiet. There was nothing that made an ounce of noise aside from the girl sitting in the middle of the room. A soft heart beat, a simple breath, that's all there was now.
----
As the other tech was slammed into the wall he too lost his grip. He scrambled to grab purchase on Blade's jacket anything to keep the boy from escaping, but as with the boy he was cold. His hands weren't working the way they should and his grip was weak. "Dammit!" He screamed. "Don't let him get away!"

The thief pulled away from the second tech to break free from his grip. Without anything to help support him now, he staggered over by the incinerator before falling near it. To try and catch himself, he grabbed a hold onto the door handle, which swung open as he continued to fall.
Gasping hard on the ground, he doubled over on the ground, gritting his teeth as his injury acted up on him. While he was down, he glanced up at the incinerator before looking over towards the two techs.
It was nice and warm next to the thing, so he wasn't shivering so much. Blade watched the other men, waiting to see what they would do.

She said nothing as the tech's repaired her, only observed quietly with a rather bitter looking expression on her face. Then she was left with nothing.
"So. Here I am. Alone again."
She didn't wait for an answer. She knew there would be none. She looked to the two corners opposing her position in the room. In one, sat a small girl. In the other, a black demon with what appeared to be feminine curves. These were the components that made her what she was, and they were very much at odds.
"We've gotta go save Blade! He's hurt, and he'd do the same for you! I don't wanna let him die..." The child shouted, glancing to Riyo only momentarily than staring straight at the demon with an angry look. In her arms, she sqeezed a little cat doll.
"You know it's a frivolous effort. You saw him. He's going to die anyways. And look at what a sweet deal you have here. You'd be..." It paused for a scoff. "Insane... To pass this up."
The child shook her head furiously. "All you think about is yourself!"
"Oh, and you don't?" The demon cocked it's head to the side and smiled. "Tell me, why do you want him alive in the first place? Wasn't all of this to comfort YOU?"
"Well I-" The little girl pushed the cat doll above her mouth, as if hiding behind it. She had never meant it to be like that... She really hadn't.
"Yeah. That's what I thought, you little s**t."
Riyo said nothing. She only watched the two go back and fourth with a blank stare. Head turning the way of the argument as the other started speaking. Anybody on the outside looking in would've figured she was delusional... Which wasn't far off from the truth.

The tech with the broken nose pulled his hand away from his face slowly, blood running down his front. He looked pissed to say the least as he started to approach Blade, the other tech close on his heels. "You little s**t. You'll pay for what you did to my face." The tech growled. Approaching a little faster the tech raised a fist. By no means was he skilled in fighting, but he at least knew how to punch wildly.
---
"Sir," there was a tech at the door to get Suto's attention. The mad man barely spared the tech a glance as he turned back to the mountain of papers. "Sir, the girl is awake. She's been treated but..."
"But?" Suto paused looking over the top of the papers. His voice let it be known that bad news didn't bode well. He was busy and didn't want to be bothered.
"She seems a little.....mental? She was asking about the boy."
Suto gave a sigh as he placed his papers down. Apparently he would have no peace. "I'm sure she is asking about the boy because some idiot thought it would be a clever joke to put him in the arena without my say so." Suto's face was the picture of displeasure as he stared at the tech. "Just leave her be, I will check on her momentarily." Making a shooing motion with his hand he went back to his work.

"You'll have a lot more to worry about than that soon," warned Blade calmly as the two approached him quickly. Using the open door, he pulled himself to his feet. He was going to have to be careful here for sure.
Seeing the tech prepare to attack him, he readied himself to try and counter. He had an idea or two on how he might be able to handle these guys..

The tech with the bloody nose threw his first punch. It was rather awkward and wouldn't have a lot of power behind it but it was aimed well at Blade's face. Apparently he intended to repay the favor of the broken nose.
While the first tech was busy in the offensive position, the other tech tried to maneuver around to the side to catch Blade off guard. If possibly he would try to take hold of an arm again.

Ready for the strike, Blade pushed himself off of the door to move out of the way. As he did he reached out to grab the tech, trying to use his momentum to pull him closer towards the opening in the incinerator. With his other hand he tried to stop himself to hopefully keep the guy from being thrown in right away. Of course as tired and hurt he was, this plan probably wouldn't work as well as if he were well.

One moment the tech actually thought his attack would work the next moment he was staring at flames. It was suddenly very hot and he pulled back screaming, the top half of his body on fire. His body had prevented him from just falling in, but it hadn't kept him from experiencing what lie beyond the incinerator door. In a panic he reached out toward the other tech for help, the skin on his face already melting away from the heat. Not having enough time to get away, the other tech was grabbed up by his lab coat as the one ablaze screamed at him to help.
"G....get off me! Get off me!" It was only a matter of seconds before his coat caught fire as well and he began to battle the flames, screaming as he did so.
-----
Suto only wasted a few more minutes on searching through the data. Maybe a pause to give his eyes a rest was in order? Everything would be here for him to look over when he got back. It was all very interesting what he was turning up but maybe he should see how the girl was faring?
Putting the papers aside Suto stood from his desk giving a bit of a stretch as he left his lab. Casually he walked down the hall to where Riyo's room was and slide the key card he had through the card reader. Beep went the door and he entered without so much as a warning.
For once he did not smile, serious eyes scanned the room for anything amiss before his gaze settled on Riyo. "You did well today my dear."

As Suto appeared, the two arguing parties looked toward him and simply faded out in front of her eyes. As they disappeared, she glanced towards him. There was a look of uncertainty in her eyes.
Riyo was about to ask why he didn't tell her Blade was alive, but had already sort of figured that part out. "Why is Blade in the morgue?" seemed like a much better question. "I know I saw him... It wasn't my mind playing tricks on me this time... So why?"

His eyes settled on Riyo's, his usual smiling face replaced with one that was serious maybe even teetering on anger. A few silent moments passed while he stared into those crimson orbs and for a moment he almost forgot who was in front of him. This wasn't Mitsu. She would never ask such questions.
"It's simply where he belongs at the moment." Suto said casually. His eyes then settled on her wrists though he didn't focus on them for long. It only took a moment for him to confirm that the bracelets weren't on. The idiots he worked with, this many mistakes in one day were unforgivable. "Don't think about him too much, my pet. He is irrelevant."

Blade cursed under his breath as he threw the guy in too far. He really only planned on threatening to throw him in to get the guys off of his back. With a heave he tried to pull the guy back, but both techs were well on fire now. He also ended up staggering back as he pulled before falling back onto the ground. With a grimace he watched the two as the scent of burning flesh filled the air.

"He's not irrelevant to me." Riyo snapped just as Suto finished that sentence. She hadn't noticed the bracelets weren't on. It seemed of little importance since her arms hurt so much she didn't want to think about moving them.
"Really now, what's it matter? You thought he was dead anyways." A voice whispered in her ear. There sat the unnamed man next to her on the gurney.
"And to top that off, you almost killed him again. Really Riyo, don't be such a hypocrite. At least your precious little companion is till alive."
Riyo didn't look in the direction of the other man. Instead, her eyes fell to the floor. She hadn't almost killed him... In fact, she'd almost killed herself in trying not to... "W-what are you gonna do with him?"

Suto's brows raised and the beginnings of a smile touched his lips. "Oh, so you are concerned? You killed a number of people today and yet one man seems to hold a special place in your heart?" To counter her question Suto merely asked another question. "What is he to you, my Riyo?"
---
The tech who had caught fire first was quick to perish while the second tech was busy struggling to get out of his lab coat. He could feel the fire burning through his coat, his shirt, and finally start in on devouring his skin. Once he had finally shucked of his coat he quickly busied himself trying to pat out the smaller flames, far to occupied to see what Blade was doing. No doubt after the fire was out the shock would set in and he would be nothing more than a blubbering heap on the floor.

For a moment or so, Blade closed his eyes as the two men burned. One had died and the other was likely to as well unless he received immediate medical attention. Though, it would likely take awhile for him to actually pass on. He felt a slight twinge of regret, seeing how he wasn't planning on killing them at first, but there was nothing he can do about it now.
The thief crawled over towards the second tech and reached for his head. Before doing anything else, he spoke up, hoping to get some information out of the man. It wasn't too likely but he had to try, "Where is the blonde girl kept?"

Riyo's head tilted so far to the side, she started to look like a hoot owl. "Wait wait wait." If her hands could've moved, they would've made a stopping motion. "I know what you're insinuating. I don't think of Blade in that way. In fact, I don't think of anybody in that way. I don't love. That's what got my Mother stuck with me."
The man couldn't help but laugh at this one. How clever this guy was. So good at pressing buttons.
"I don't want any of that... Not a single part of it."
