The Bad Batch: Book 2

Part 51: Sorry Is Not Enough

Hunter's POV 

It has been an hour since we brought Luna to AZI  who immediately began to operate her. Looking down I saw the pool of blood surrounding the bed on which she was now resting. 

Wrecker: "We need help!" 

Echo: "AZI do something!" 

Me: "Please help her. Please!" 

I saw many wounds before but nothing like this. By the time we got her here, she was without any color as she lost too much blood. Tech would know how to help her. I feel so useless. There wasn't anything that I could have down to help her or save him. Hearing grouting I immediately looked up to see her slowly opening her eyes. Turning her head to her right our eyes met.

Luna: "Hunter?" 

Pushing through the pain I stood up and quickly placed my hand on top of her right hand that was resting next to her. She finally stopped shaking. 

Me: "Luna." 

Luna: "W-What happened?" 

She asked as she was trying to sit up. 

Me: "Don't move. You need to rest. You lost a lot of blood." 

I said as I placed my hand under her head. AZI came into the room just as I placed her head against the bed again. 

AZI: "Hello, Luna. I am glad to see you awake." 

He quickly scanned her body. 

AZI: "You got seriously hurt, but with rest and prior treatment you will be back on your feet soon." 

Wrecker came into the room. 

Wrecker: "You're-- Okay. Don't scare us like this again." 

He said as he stepped next to me and I moved out of the way so he could cerfully hug her. The whole time he was carrying her he was crying. I took a water bottle that was behind my belt and offered it to her. Seeing that she was thirsty I gently placed my free hand under her neck and head helping her drink.

Me: "How are you feeling?" 

I asked as she was done and I placed the water bottle aside. 

Luna: "I don't know... The last thing that I remember, is we were in the rail car when..." 

Her eyes widened as a gasp left her mouth. 

Luna: "Where is Tech?" 

I looked down at my hands. I was surprised she was able to remember it. The moment I saw her struck by lightning I was sure she was gone. 

Me: "Luna, Tech didn't make it." 

She quickly pushed herself off the bed sitting up and letting out a cry of pain. 

Me: "Luna-"

Luna: "We have to go back! What if he is hurt? He...He needs us." 

Before I could stop her she pushed herself on her feet. Her legs immediately gave in and she began to fall. I caught her in my arms. 

Luna: "We need to go back. Tell him Wrecker. We cannot just leave him." 

She said as she looked at him. With tears in his eyes, Wrecke looked away. 

Me: "Luna..." 

Luna: "No. Let go of me, Hunter. Tech is not gone! He is waiting for us!" 

She tried to push me away but there was no straight in her hands.
