"fast? kid we've been fighting with your dad for like 15 minutes. you were just standing over there staring at Mack." Smokey mutters. Lightning looks confused.

"what? no. I.. we just walked into the house.... d-didn't we? we had to of just walked in... we didn't... I...." Lightning ask, looking over at him. Smokey realizes the youngers not joking, he seriously doesn't realize what happened behind him. his chest is heaving hard. he can't remember anything. he doesn't understand. his heads spinning and he feels sick.

"no kid, I think you had a seizure or something. Red call for a few ambulances. I'll get River and Junior. your dads coming back with us to Thomasville to get the pedo treatment." Smokey said. Lightning turns a soft shade of green, looking like he's about to puke.

"my dad didn't...?" Lightning said looking confused.

"oh no, but we'll tell everyone he did so they'll put more effort into beating him up." Smokey grins. Lightning blinks a little, looking sluggish, then twitches a little before stepping back a little. he pukes on the floor between him and Smokey, before stumbling backwards and collapsing on the floor. Smokeys quick to jump away from Doc and catch Lightnings head. "he's having another seizure." Smokey mutters, gently laying him down on the floor..

"its probably an anxiety attack." Red says. Smokey wipes at the blood under his own nose, before going back to Doc, there's nothing he can do for Lightning at the moment.

"Hud, hey. Hud wake up." Smokey mutters shaking him. he looks at Red. "where's the thing. the little, its a tube thing. Hud had one its supposed to wake someone up when they faint or something." Smokey says looking at Red. Red shrugs.

"I don't know what you mean." Red mumbles.

"the little tube thing some kind of salt tube thing." Smokey says.

"smelling salt." Mack mutters, slowly getting up off the floor. his head is beat in and he's dripping blood everywhere. Red grabs him and gently sits him back down.

"no, don't move." Red murmurs softly. Mack winces a little. Doc winces slowly coming too. he reaches up shakily to hold his right shoulder, wincing.

"f-fu-fuck" Doc winces. he moans lowly.

"Hud, hey, I need you to wake up. the kids having a seizure." Smokey says. Doc lifts his head up off the ground a little, before dropping it back down with a hard thump on the ground. his eyes flutter shut with him mumbling. he goes quiet and limp, despite Smokeys best efforts. "Hud! hey!" Smokey shouts, shaking him. "hey! your fiance is having a seizure!" Smokey shouts. Docs head flops over limply, there's not going to be any waking him up if he can't even wake the man to take care of his fiance.

"ambulances are here." Red says.

"drag his dad off so they won't take him." Smokey says. Red nods and grabs Elliot dragging him off to the spare room. Red comes back and heads to his boyfriend. he helps Mack up and out to the ambulance while a couple of paramedics come in for Lightning and Doc. Maddie comes running in behind them and kneels in front of Smokey.

"hey, you alright?" she ask.

"m'fine. Hud to the brunt of the beating. got distracted when the kid had a seizure. " Smokey muttered.

"what happened? all that big talk and one guy beat your asses?" Maddie ask.

"he hit Huds fractured shoulder then knocked him in the head with something. he knocked the shot gun from my hands and tried to choke me with it." Smokey mutters. "we're not super heros." Smokey snaps. he gets out of the floor, he'll be alright. he can handle a small beating. "go get Junior and River." Smokey mutters. Maddie nods and runs off. Smokey jerks up hearing Lightning scream. he heads out to the ambulances quickly. he's probably had some sort of anxiety attack/seizure thing. "kid, hey. its okay." Smokey murmurs softly. he kicks at them, trembling, there's a puddle of puke on the ground beside his gurnie.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Lightning screams, trying to kick not only him, but also the paramedics out of the way. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" Lightning screams, scrambling off the gurnie and onto the ground. he moans lowly, laying on the ground. he blinks the stars away from his vision and whimpers. "H-Hud!" he cries, trying to get up.

"hey kid. its okay." Smokey says, kneeling down gently beside him. he watches him carefully. "hey, hey, look at me kid. its alright. its going to be alright." Smokey assures. Red looks over at them. "Bolts in the Hornet, let him out." Smokey calls. Red nods, running over to the Hornet. he opens the door and Bolt takes off faster than ever before. he runs over to Lightning, whining and nudging him gently. Lightning grabs onto the dogs vest tightly and Smokey stands up. he heads over towards Doc, but they're loading him up already. he's still unconscious and moaning quietly. Macks also being loaded up and is surprisingly still conscious despite his awful head wound. two of the three ambulances are leaving and Smokeys not sure he can get Lightning in the ambulance without Docs help. "kid, are you okay?" Smokey ask softly. Lightnings trembling, having a hard time breathing, and curling in on himself. he's holding tighter to Bolt and sobbing. "Red, we've gotta get the kid calmed down a little and get him in the ambulance." Smokey frowns. Red looks him over. Lightning whimpers and holds tighter to Bolt.

"DON'T TOUCH ME! GET AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Lightning screams.

"I can try, but Docs really the only person that knows how to help him when he's like this." Red frowns. Smokey nods, kneeling back down with Red. "hey." Red says softly. Lightning flinches and turns his head away, tensing up. "Lightning, we need to get you in the ambulance so you can go be with Doc, okay?" Red ask. Lightning looks up at him hesitantly, digging his nails into his beloved pup.

"H-Hud..." Lightning whimpers softly. Red nods a little.

"yeah, you want to go see Doc?" Red ask. Lightning tenses a little, clinging to Bolt.

"you can take Bolt with you." Smokey assures gently. Lightning nods a little, holding tighter to Bolt. "I'll get Bolt, you get the kid." Smokey says. Red nods.

"hey, I'm gonna pick you up okay? Smokey's gonna pick up Bolt so I don't hurt him, alright?" Red ask. Lightning nods still trembling.

"o-ok-kay." Lightning manages. Red nods and smiles, scooping him up gently. Lightning whimpers, flinching and Bolt growls at Red.

"its okay Bolt. I'm not hurting him." Red assures softly.

"take it easy buddy, you're coming too." Smokey assures, picking Bolt up gently. once Red lays Lightning down, Smokey puts Bolt on his lap. Lightning holds him tightly as they load him up carefully into the ambulance. Smokey realizes that the mans nose is bleeding. it's bled all over everything, including Bolt and Red. he probably busted his nose or something.

"I'm going to ride with him, they've already left with Mack." Red mutters. Smokey nods at him.

"I'll meet you guys up at the hospital after we take care of him." Smokey assures.

by the time they actually get to the hospital, Lightnings already had another seizure and an even worse anxiety attack. despite Reds best efforts, Lightning his freaking out and clinging to Bolt, screaming at the top of his lungs for Doc. he won't let anyone touch him and Bolts laying over him carefully. they end up knocking the young man out, but Bolt refuses to leave his side, whining and curling up next to him. Red wants to stay with Lightning, but figures he won't notice if he goes to Mack since he's unconscious. Smokey eventually shows up, looking worse than before, Elliot had managed to attack him while he was waiting for Junior and River. he probably had a broken nose by now and was immediately rushed off for help, despite the fact he didn't want it.

by the time Doc wakes up, he can hear Lightning screaming in a room down the hall. things that are supposed to knock him out, never really keep him out long. Doc tries to get up, but the whole room spins and he moans, laying back down. his right arm is hurting him so bad he can't stand it and his head is spinning, but his fiance needs him. he's got to get up, Lightning needs him.

"oh fuck." he mumbles, wincing. he lays back down. he's got to get up, now. "get up." Doc mutters. he winces trying to sit up. Lightning needs him, his fiance needs him. "get the hell up Hud. come on Mont needs you." Doc mumbles. he winces and hits the call nurse button. it takes a minute but someone pokes their head in.

"I'm aware of the screaming sir, we are attempting to handle it." she says curtly.

"s'my fiance. he's not going to calm down. I need t' get t' him.." Doc mutters.

"he's your fiance?" she asks. Doc nods a little.

"yeah. he's probably had a seizure an or an anxiety attack. you're not goin' t' calm him down without me." Doc mutters, trying to get up. "s'not gonna calm down without me." he mumbles.

"you can't get up sir. you've got some pretty good stuff in your system." the nurse says. Doc frowns.

"s'gonna keep screamin' without me." Doc frowns. god the pain is setting into his head and words are getting harder and harder to form. "s'dad used t' drugg'im so y'not gonna keep 'im out long." Doc adds, trying to get up. the nurse frowns, but quickly helps him up.

"okay, 10 minutes, then we're sedating him." the nurse mutters.

"won' need that long." Doc mumbles quietly.

"okay." she murmurs. she helps Doc down to Lightnings room. Doc grunts and winces as she walks him to the room. his body aches they enter the room, but he pushes away his dizziness as much as he can. Lightning needs him. his fiance needs him now. his own pain doesn't matter. Monty needs him.

"hey." Doc murmurs as loud as he can. Bolt sits up growling and barks at Doc. Doc gives him a shakey smile. "yeah I know buddy, good boy. its alright Bolt. I'll get him." Doc assures, slowly stepping away from the nurse. "hey baby. come here." Doc soothes. he winces stepping closer carefully.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Lightning screams, backing himself into a corner.

"Monty." Doc calls. "hey, its okay. shhhh." Doc murmurs, inching closer. Lightnings gaze glances over to Doc, trembling.

"H-Hud...?" Lightning ask tearfully.

"yeah." Doc smiles a little. "c'mere. c'mon. come t' me kiddo." Doc murmurs. Lightning shakes his head, trembling more. he presses himself back into the corner more. "yeah s'okay. m'here now baby, they won' hurt you. come here, they're not gonna touch you. I won't let them touch you, come on." Doc assures, walking over. he winces a little. Lightning swallows hard and inches closer to him along the wall. "yeah thats right. come here. I won't let them hurt you baby. c'mere. I'm not gonna let anyone else touch you. I won't let any of these guys hurt you. m'here t' keep you safe. you jus' gotta come here." Doc murmurs softly. he motions for Lightning to come to him. Lightning flinches a little.

"I..." Lightning whimpers.

"its alright. c'mere." Doc murmurs, putting his arm out between Lightning and the others in the room. "I won't let them hurt you. I promise. I'm gonna keep you safe. come here Monty. can you take my hand baby?" Doc murmurs, reaching carefully for the younger. "c'mere, take my hand. s'alright. come on baby, take my hand and I'll keep you safe, okay? m'gonna keep you safe you just gotta take my hand." Doc says softly. Lightning clutches Bolts vest hard and the pup gently pulls him towards Doc, or at least tries. Lightning won't budge. "do y'want me t' come t' you?" Doc ask softly, turning his palm up towards Lightning. Lightning pushes back further towards the wall and whimpers.

"n-no. st-stay there." Lightning trembles. Doc nods a little, pulling his hand back.

"okay. take your time baby. its okay." Doc assures. Lightning looks at the others in the room, pressing back against the wall. "no no, don' look at them, look at me. s'alright. eyes on me baby. yeah eyes on me. you just look right here at me okay? m'here t' keep you safe. m'gonna protect you." Doc murmurs. he's getting dizzy again, he's attempting to push it away, the waves come and go as they please though, whether Doc likes it or not. he motions to the nurses and doctors standing behind him. "they don' matter. no one else matters here. s'jus' me'n'you baby. jus' us. they don' matter, I won' let'em hurt you. c'mere. come here kiddo, I won' let anyone touch you. you just gotta come here." Doc murmurs, with a small tired smile, reaching his hand back out to take Lightnings. Lightning launches himself at Doc, clinging to him and sobbing. Doc hisses, stumbling back, trying to catch them and keep them from falling. suddenly there are two firm hands holding them up and Doc sighs in relief seeing Smokey, who is quick to steady them, before stepping away. Doc holds Lightning tightly with his good arm, gently holding the youngers face into his chest. "I gotcha kid. s'alright. I got you Monty. I got you baby." Doc murmurs. Lightning stays silent, sobbing against him.

"don't you people realize what a service dog means?" Smokey glares. "gentle hands. he requires gentle hands. he's obviously been on the verge of a breakdown and you fuckers are just in here harrassing him. he has a fucking service dog, do any of you people realize what the fuck that means?" Smokey growls. Doc smirks a little, pressing his face into the youngers hair to hide the smirk. Smokeys learned the youngers past and has a soft spot for him now and they've pissed him off cornering the younger man, literally, while he was already so upset.

"s'okay Monty." Doc murmurs softly, kissing his head. Lightning sniffles and whimpers, cuddling closer. "yeah. I know baby. I know. I got you. s'okay. s'okay. I know they ganged up on you. they scared you and wouldn't leave you alone didn't they? its okay. I know baby. you're scared and they made it worse didn't they?" Doc ask softly. Lightning whines quietly and sniffles cuddling closer. "yeah. its okay, kiddo." Doc says softly. "he needs to be in my room with me. he's not going to feel safe in here anymore." Doc says firmly, looking at the nurse who brought him in.

"take him with you and we'll get everything figure out." she assures, waving them off.

"Bolt, heel." Doc calls. Bolts immediately at Lightnings feet and follows the two towards Docs room. "yeah I got you. don't worry, I'm gonna keep you safe." Doc assures gently. Lightning cuddles closer to him, lip still quivering. "okay, come on, you get up here." Doc murmurs, helping him get up on the bed. Monty sniffled and curled up, watching Doc. "alright Bolt, come on. gonna have to jump buddy, I can't pick you up this time." Doc murmurs. Bolt barks, jumping up onto the bed, then curls up beside Lightning. Doc cups the youngers cheek.

"th-they took m'hoodie." Lightning whimpers. Doc kisses his head gently.

"I'll get you a new one." Doc promises, rubbing his cheek gently. he looks up at Doc tearfully and watches him.

"hows the kid?" Smokey ask, walking in.

"these fucking doctors." Doc snaps. "you'd think they've never dealt with anyone who has an anxiety disorder." he growls lowly. Lightning hugs Bolt tightly. Bolt whines at him and Lightning sniffles, curling up more. his bottom lip quivers. "did you guys at least get the asshole after he knocked my ass out?" Doc ask.

"sort of. they're chasing him down. he managed to get free and broke my nose after the kid tased him. Junior says they're gonna get him by tonight." Smokey assures.

"all this bull shit and you still didn't get him?" Lightning snaps, curling up more. "what the fuck were you guys doing? just standing around or something?" Lightning huffs.

"we were dealing with your seizure." Smokey frowns. "but Junior and River will get him." Smokey adds. Lightning stays silent. he's not sure he can say anything else without sobbing.

"Smokey leave him alone. he doesn't need you throwing his seizures back in his face." Doc warns. "just go, Smokey. just go help them get this asshole." Doc says. Smokey frowns but nods a little, leaving the room. Monty sniffles a little, wiping at his face. "hey are you alright baby?" Doc asks softly.

"n-no. m'sorry." he sobs softly. Docs confused, but he holds the younger man tightly.

"sorry?" Doc ask softly.

"this is all my fault. you guys got him and he got away because, because I had a seizure and an anxiety attack and it triggered another seizure. this is my fault." he sobs, clinging to Doc.

"no kid, this isn't your fault." Doc assures gently, pulling him closer. "it's not your fault you can't help having seizures or your anxiety. you gotta calm down baby or you're gonna have another." Doc soothes gently. Monty pushes away from him and curls up more, sobbing into Bolts fur. "shhh. its okay." Doc murmurs, pulling him closer.

"everyone keeps getting hurt because of me an now my dads free again because me and its-" Lightning tries. Doc gently cover his lips gently.

"shhh. shhhh. its not your fault." Doc soothes. "hey you gotta breathe here kid. shhh. its okay. breathe baby." Doc murmurs, kissing his head. "baby, you need to listen to me. this isn't your fault. its never been your fault, it'll never be your fault. ever. you've gotta calm down." Doc says, kissing his cheek. "kid there's a reason I'm trying so hard to protect you, okay? its because I love you and all this... its not your fault. you didn't bring this on yourself. you didn't do this to yourself. you didn't cause this. you didn't ask for this. you got dealt a shitty hand and I'm doing my best to help you, but you can't let them get to you. you can't let them feel your head with lies, okay? you can't let them bully you into thinking its your fault. its not your fault, it'll never be your fault, and no matter what anyone says, you can't change that." Doc says softly. Lightning wipes at his face and mumbles.
