You Break It You Buy It

[kenzie]

So Malice Effect has just ended and Luke is standing there with an injured Karsyn in his bathroom. It doesn't take long for his office door to come flying open and the banchee screaming of Kenzie to be heard. Luke has already scooped up Karsyn and is laying her down on the couch. He looks at Kenzie and as she opens her mouth to say something he stops her.

Luke - Don't start. This was not my fault. I didn't do anything. I would have been here but I do have a company to run.

Kenzie stops and takes a breath.

Kenzie - I know...but this has to stop Luke. First me, screw everyone else, but now Karsyn. She isn't one of us Luke. She didn't do anything to anybody you know? She's just a sweet girl. This isn't cool Luke.

Kenzie clinches her fists in obvious frusteration as she looks down at her sister.

[psycholukeguy]

Luke: I know it's not cool. But what do you want us to do about it? It's kind of late now. Obviously we're going to neuter Punisher in the most painful way possible but I think he deserves a little more "punishment" than that.

Kenzie: Oh, he's going to get a lot more than that. I'm talking some major eye gouging here. I'm going to go get my coat and then I'll be back for Karsyn.

Luke: No, just wait. This is my problem, I'll take care of it.

Kenzie: Your problem?! She's my sister!

Luke: Just listen to me. I can't help but feel guilty for not having security here so I'll take care of it, I'm ready to get the fuck out of here anyways. I'll make sure she gets patched up and take her back to my hotel....

Kenzie: WHAT?!!!

Luke: Let me fucking finish! I'll take her back to my hotel room and make sure she gets plenty of rest, and I'll be right there to monitor so nothing else will happen. You go and enjoy your victory.

Kenzie: How do you expect me to celebrate at a time like this?!

Luke: I don't fucking know! Just do it! There's nothing to worry about, I don't want anything ruining your night.

Kenzie: Don't you think it's kinda late for that?

Luke: Well no shit, but you can at least go and try to have a good time with Tweeks. I'm so fucking exhausted I don't even want to look at alcohol. Like I said, there is nothing to worry about. I'll make sure she is taken care of.

Kenzie: You like her don't you?

Luke: Ye....wait what? What are you talking about?

Kenzie: God, what is it with you and my sisters?

Luke: This isn't a time for fucking jokes.

Kenzie: Well just promise me you'll keep her safe?

Luke: Haven't I already explained that?

Kenzie lets out a sigh and runs her hand through her hair.

Kenzie: Fine, but at least keep your phone on so I can check up on her condition.

He nods as Kenzie starts turning to leave the room. Zero gets up from her desk and walks over to Luke. He sighs, being frustrated and stressed from the event.

Luke: What do you want Zero?

Zero: I know this guy who heals.

Luke: What?

Zero: Yeah, he went to a school and now he can heal himself.

Luke looks confused but at the same time interested.

Zero: I seen him on the TV. He's got funny hair and really long claws. He can heal himself!

Luke: Zero, that's wolverine from X-Men. He's not real.

Zero: Oh....really?

Luke: Yes really.

Zero: Well maybe the school is real!

Luke: No the school isn't real.

Zero: Oh....

She shrugs and sits back down in her desk.

Luke: Hey Zero, why don't you just go and get some rest.

Zero: You mean I'm fried?

Luke: You mean fired, and no you're not fired. Just go get some sleep. I'll see you next week.

Zero: Oh, okay.

She turns and lays her head on her desk and starts pretend snoring.

Luke: No, Zero, I mean in your hotel room.

Zero: Oh right.

Zero gets up and leaves the room and Luke grabs his first aid kid and starts applying more bandages to Karsyn's head. He picks her up and carries her out of the room, eventually to his car and eventually to the hotel. Of course he gets a bunch of weird looks from everyone as he walks into the hotel carrying a passed out girl and holding his room key with his mouth. After he finally gets into the room, he sets Karsyn on the bed proceeded by quickly running back to his car and grabbing the rest of his luggage. After he shuts the door a sigh of relief escapes him, finally being able to relax....somewhat. He flops down in the chair next to the bed to watch some television....eventually passing out....

[innocentpenguin]

It was sometime in the middle of the night that Karsyn started to stir and wake up. Not opening her eyes she could hear the tv in background....infomercials. She let out a little groan and put her hands over her eyes.

Karsyn - I swear if you keep letting Skytz watch these things one of these days your gonna walk in and see her on the phone trying to order a set of kitchen knives that can chop a penny.

With her eyes still closed she tries to sit up but gets an overwhelming pain in her head so she lays back down.

Karsyn - Why is it always my head? Just when I get over the hang over, now I have an even bigger one. I swear Kenzie I didn't go drinking again with Luke. I behaved myself, I swear I did.

Karsyn extends her arm so it's dangling a little off the bed, anticipating Skytz to lick her hand. She gets even more confused when she hears somebody moving around.

Karsyn - Kenzie?

[psycholukeguy]

By this time, Luke had re awaken from what was a short nap. He washed his facepaint off and went out to grab some food, getting back to the room not 5 minutes before Karsyn had awoken.

Luke: Finally awoken I see.

Karsyn: Who are you?

Luke: Um......Kenzie.

Karsyn: You're not Kenzie....you sound nothing like her.

Luke: I suppose you're right.

He gets up and grabs an ice pack before walking over and sitting on the bed.

Luke: This is going to be cold so don't freak out.

He puts the icepack in her hand and then leads her hand to her head where her bump was. She rubbed her eyes with her free hand and slowly started opening them to see Luke sitting there.

Luke: You're not dead, that's a relief.

[innocentpenguin]

Karsyn's face turns bright red from embarrassment. She'd woken up to Luke. She groaned a little bit holding the ice pack to her head.

Karsyn - I'm.....I um I'm sorry....where um am I? Kenzie isn't here is she?

Karsyn looks around a little bit. Of course Kenzie isn't here, it's just her and Luke. She was quickly starting to get even more uncomfortable.

Karsyn - What uh, happened? I don't really remember anything. How did I get here?

[psycholukeguy]

Luke scratches his head not sure of how to explain it.

Luke: Well there was an accident and....well I'd rather not have you worrying about it.

Karsyn: Wait, what kind of accident?

Luke: Well...One of the employees is trying to be all tough guyish and I guess he thought it would be funny to get you involved. BUT...everything's taken care of, me and Kenzie are going to neuter him sometime this week. So yeah don't panic or anything, you just have a bump on the head. I did however, get some Burger King if you're hungry.

[innocentpenguin]

Karsyn looks around as she sits up a little bit.

Karsyn - Maybe some french fries if you got some would be good, thanks.

Luke walks over to the Burger King bag and grabs a thing of french fries and hands them to her.

Karsyn - Not that I'm being unappreciative, but why I am I here? Why didn't you just have me sent to the hospital or something? I mean you didn't have to take care of me.

[psycholukeguy]

He sits back down on the bed and shrugs.

Luke: Trying to be nice I guess. I didn't think hospital treatment was necessary and I guess I felt kind of guilty that I didn't offer enough security to escort you around. Besides I wanted to make sure Kenzie still had a good time with Tweeks so I was like what the hell. So um....yeah.

[innocentpenguin]

Karsyn eats a few of her french fries and starts fidgetting around a little bit.

Karsyn - I don't suppose you have any tylenol or anything do you?

Luke - Oh shit. Yeah hang on.

Luke gets up and rumages around in the bathroom coming out a few minutes later holding a couple pills in his hand and a bottle of water. He hands them to her and Karsyn downs them.

Karsyn - You know I can leave, I think I will be okay. I'm not dead obviously, and I'm pretty sure I won't die in my own room. You've probably had more than enough of me today anyway, and I really feel guilty for being a bother to you.

She slowly turns a little and dangles her legs off the side of the bed.

Karsyn - I feel like one of those damn girls in those movies who can't do anything for themselves. Always getting kidnapped or attacked and can't defend themselves. I'm really sorry Luke, this must be really annoying for you.

Karsyn looks at Luke when his cell phone starts to ring. He pulls it out of his pocket and sees that it's Kenzie. Luke hands it to Karsyn.

Luke - It's Kenzie, she will want to talk to you.

Karsyn takes the phone and answers it.

Karsyn - Hi Kenzie. .... I'm fine I promise. .... Just a bump, no permanent damage. Just a bump and embarassement. .... I know I know. .... Everything is fine I promise. .... No don't worry about it. You have fun with Tweeks. You guys worked hard tonight, you deserve it. .... Okay I will talk to you tomorrow. .... Bye.

She hangs up the phone and hands it back to Luke giving her shoulders a shrug.

Karsyn - She was checking up.....but anyway, I really am sorry about all of this.

[psycholukeguy]

Luke: You have no reason to be sorry. Shit happens, we deal with it and move on. But I suppose since you're all better you can leave whenever you wish. I can probably find something to watch on tv or something.

He gets up and walks to the nearby table before picking up a coat.

Luke: Here's your coat, it's pretty cold outside...

[innocentpenguin]

Karsyn nods and gets up taking her coat from Luke and putting it on. She sees he even grabbed her gigantic purse as well and takes it. She fidgets around with her fingers.

Karsyn - Well um.....thanks Luke. I appreciate everything....I will um....leave you alone now.

She walks towards the room door feeling really ackward.

Karsyn - I'll try not to bother you for at least a few days.

She tries to over him a smile.

[psycholukeguy]

He raises a quick eyebrow as she still attempts to not feel so awkward...as he can obviously tell she is. So of course he tries curing it with his humor.

Luke: Well that doesn't sound like fun at all. Who else can I rely on to come with during 3 am vodka trips to Wal-Mart? Hmmm? Afterall your bottle is still in my car.

[innocentpenguin]

She grins and lets out a soft giggle and blushes.

Karsyn - I don't think I can handle many 3 am Wal Mart trips with you. I don't have the proper training for that.

Luke - Maybe I can give you the number of Zero's trainer then.

Karsyn - What?

Luke - Nevermind.

Karsyn looks at the alarm clock on the stand by the bed.

Karsyn - It is almost 3 am.....I'm sure there is a Wal Mart around here some where.........

She lets out a little giggle.

[psycholukeguy]

Luke shrugs and flops back onto the bed, lying back and putting his hands behind his head.

Luke: I thought you wanted to leave. You know since you're a bother to me and all.

Karsyn: Well I don't mean to be a bother. I'm sorry!....I....I guess I'll just go now....

Luke: You need to stop being so bashful. If you were a bother to me do you think I would've allowed you in my car for a solid 2 hours?

Karsyn: Well I suppose not.....

Luke: Precisely.

He turns and looks over at the clock. Random thoughts going through his head.

Luke: You know Vodka does sound pretty good. But I'm unsure now, since you said you can't handle many Wal-Mart trips. And I just don't think I can go to Wal-Mart at this time of night without a partner in crime. Besides what would Kenzie think if I corrupted you even more by getting you drunk yet again. She'd really have my head in a guillotine. And you're not very shy after you've had a few drinks so that could turn out to be trouble. So I guess I'll just have to call someone else up to go to Wal-Mart with me.

He smirks to himself as he grabs his phone and pretends to search through his contacts, occasionally peering up at her waiting to see what she says.

[innocentpenguin]

Karsyn chews on her bottom lip a little.

Karsyn - I wanna go, I just don't think I could do any drinking tonight. I'm pretty sure drinking and head trauma don't go together.

She looks down at the ground fumbling with the strap of her purse.

Karsyn - But I really wouldn't mind going.
