Well, shit, if there ain't anything more unpleasant than waking up in a vat of water with some man glaring down at him, bright lights in his eyes and his head swimming with weakness and grogginess. He'd been kidnapped, had been this first thought. He'd been fucking kidnapped. By Hunters, he could only assume, though the assholes that dragged him out of the water were nothing like Hunters.
And so, as his strength began to slowly return to him, as the heavy fog began lifting from his mind, he began fighting. He weren't gonna listen to any bullshit about some great evil or some asshole called Malicant. He needed to find Ellie, damn it.
Where the hell is the girl? he'd demanded while trying to wrestle his way out of their grip and away from their fucking fussing. She'd been taken by the Fireflies, is fucking trapped in that fucking hospital where they're going to-- Shit, he didn't want to think about it, and so shouted as he threw a clumsy punch, body still weak from whatever the hell they'd drugged him with, WHERE THE HELL IS ELLIE?
And now, here he is. Wandering around outside, lost, stomach in angry, churning knots, wondering how the fuck he's going to find Ellie, because he sure as hell don't recognise this place. As he's about to break out into a jog, determined to find someone with some damn answers, he hears his name.
He reels around. He recognises that voice. And his eyes land on Ellie running for him, and suddenly nothing matters in that instant, nothing, just Ellie and seeing that damn kid alive and--
"Shit, Ellie," he says under his breath. He launches into a run towards, dodging around one person, shoving past another like he can't reach her fast enough.
please excuse any dumbness on my part about the premise ahaha
