Lucifer Thornton: Reunion - Chapter 3

Nayuta and Megumi run in the room and look at Leo's body on the table. Megumi stands still in shock, and Nayuta runs towards Leo, hugging his body and crying
MEGUMI: Lucifer..
LUCIFER: its him
NAYUTA: (crying) Wher-Where was yo- (voice breaks as she carries on crying)
NOBARA: (walks over and rubs Nayuta's head as she cries)
Megumi looks at Iki who is placed next to Leo and asks Lucifer about her
MEGUMI: What's the droid head for?
LUCIFER: She's an advanced, AI construct who Leo saved.
Nobara, Megumi and Nayuta all look at Lucifer as if he was speaking another language
LUCIFER: Ask her. I'm not lying.
IKI: He's telling the truth. I'm only in a droid head because it was the only way Leo could carry me with him.
NOBARA: Hold on Leo saved someone..?
LUCIFER: mhm.
NOBARA: (confused) but he was dead?..
Iki interrupts before Megumi and Nayuta say something
IKI: He was in pieces, individual organs and body parts for 4 years.. he was reconstructed for an experiment regarding his inhuman qualities.. that was how he woke up and escaped.
MEGUMI: He doesn't look like he's aged in the face at all..
IKI: Technically speaking.. he is physically and mentally at the same stage he was when he "died"
NOBARA: (surprised) He's still at the same stage? As in..
IKI: Yeah. He hasn't aged one bit.
NOBARA: lucky kid.
Nayuta wipes her tears and walks over to Iki
NAYUTA: How did he find you then?
IKI: Whilst he was on the run, he took a minute to catch his breath.. He ended up in the same room as my old console.. and we talked while we was in the same room. He was due to be executed as he had broke out and killed the people experimenting on him.. I was also due to be exterminated the upcoming day, and I asked if he could help me.. honestly I wasn't expecting him to actually help. but he did. We hijacked a tie fighter and disabled the gps on it. He told me to fly here and now we're here.
Everyone looked at each other and then at Leo's body
MEGUMI: I believe her.. sounds like something he'd do.
NAYUTA: Is he going to be okay?
IKI: He should be fine, don't worry. He's fatigued and lost quite a bit of blood but that's because he couldn't stop at any point, he overwhelmed himself but I know he'll pull through.
NAYUTA: If he doesn't I'll kill you.
NOBARA: Nayuta.
NAYUTA: (looks at Iki and walks around the table to sit down next to Leo's body)
LUCIFER: I can take him to the Hospital in the City Centre, wanna come Nayuta?
NAYUTA: (nods)
LUCIFER: We'll be back later on okay?
NOBARA: Okay.
Lucifer picks up Leo and Nayuta follows, Megumi picks up Iki and tells her he'll put the droid head on a body so she can walk, Nobara and Suguru and go sit down as she calls someone.
LUCIFER: Nayuta..?
NAYUTA: (through sniffles) mm?
LUCIFER: You okay?
NAYUTA: Yeah. Its just a bit of a shock.
LUCIFER: Tell me about it.. I'm glad to hear your okay.
There is a moment of silence, broken once again by Lucifer
LUCIFER: You excited to get Leo back?
NAYUTA: Yeah.. Extremely. I've wished to see him just once more so many times. and i guess it came true. Thanks for looking after me.. whilst he was gone.
LUCIFER: It was my honor, my duty, my pleasure. I'm assuming you're moving back in with Leo?
NAYUTA: Yeah. Tell Nobara i said thanks too
LUCIFER: Yeah i will do..
Lucifer pats himself down.
LUCIFER: SHIT! i've dropped my wallet somewhere...(looks at Nayuta) should i be asking a 15 year old to pay for my UnderLink as a grown ass man...Nayutaaaaa...... Can you pay for my UnderLink and i'll send you the money.
NAYUTA: You're fucking hopeless.
LUCIFER: Language young lady... (they look at each other and laugh) who am i kidding i don't give a fuck if you swear. Just dont tell Nobara i said anything.
NAYUTA: I won't if you don't
-15 minutes later-
HOSPITAL ASSISTANT: His recovery should take about a week
LUCIFER: A week?!
HOSPITAL ASSISTANT: Yes, I am afraid our blood reserves have run dry.
LUCIFER: Where are the needles?
HOSPITAL ASSISTANT: I dont think i quite understand what you mean sir.
LUCIFER: He needs blood right. He needs it more than me. Take mine.
HOSPITAL ASSISTANT: Are you sure?
LUCIFER: Absolutely.
HOSPITAL ASSISTANT: That should cut his recovery down to abouttt.. 3 days. Thank you, sir.
LUCIFER: Anytime.
-5 minutes later-
LUCIFER: Hey Nayuta. I'm gonna leave you with him. You can make your own way back, right.
NAYUTA: mhm.
LUCIFER: Okay, sweet. See ya.
NAYUTA: Bye.
