Kyle stood there Erin got the living shit beat out of her. He stood there as she was dragged off. He stood there as Nikki yelled at him and walked off. The entire time he was half there, half somewhere else in his head. He could not understand they viewed him as they did. He wanted to make sure something like Nikki's miscarriage never happened again. To do that, steps had to be taken and not all of them were going to be pretty. If he thought he would be able to get away with it he would have Ingrid killed off, simply for being part of Vincent's group. He knew that the drama with him wasn't over, and anyone with personal ties to him was someone who could not be trusted in his eyes. Haru had proven himself, and he was very attached to Erin/Clara so he was in the clear with Kyle.
Kyle scratched his head and sighed. He wanted to leave the school, stop being part of all this drama. He never had these problems when he was by himself. But he knew, since he was married, he could not do that. he made a vow to Nikki and he wasn't willing to break it so easily. But at the same time the soldier in Kyle screamed at him, to do what needed to be done and damn the consequences. Kyle cracked his knuckles and walked out of the office.
Kyle walked to the gym, where he knew Nikki would be. He knew his wife pretty well. As he entered he watched as Nikki was going ham on a punching bag. Kyle leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, just watching and not saying anything.
Nikki was reliving the scene in her head. Raven's decapitated HEAD. WTF was wrong with that girl? Had the humanity completely left her? This was the type of thing that worried her. What if they all lost the ability to reason like normal people? What if killing before something happened was the new normal? She punched the bag hard and her hand slipped sideways spraining it a little and she cried out. Cradling it she turned and saw Kyle watching her. Her rage had dwindled a little bit.
She sat down on the bench and massaged the sore wrist. She looked up at him trying to see something in his eyes.
"Did you tell her to do that? Because you were sure as hell condoning it. Why?"Kyles eyes were still, looking straight into Nikki's eyes, and were as cold as stone.
"No I did not tell her to do what she did. And I am glad I didn't. I am glad she took the initiative. I do more than condone it, I accept it with open arms. Nikki...we live in a world where people do not think twice about killing someone, just because they looked at them funny. People rape, and steal, and murder, and kidnap.....they cause people to miscarry."Kyle looked away at the end of his sentence, unable to look Nikki in the eyes. He still felt horrible and felt guilty over what happened. No matter how many times Nikki has said it, he still believed he could have been faster, could have been stronger, could have been colder.
"People like Vincent exist, and people who have ties to those people cannot be trusted. I mean c'mon do you really think Vincent isn't coming back? That he just forgot I crippled him, stabbed him, killed a lot of his men, and tried to be the father of his blood borne child? He will be back, and the fewer people who feel for him when he gets here, the better."Nikki looked at him and opened her mouth several times to speak and shut it again not sure where to begin.
"Kyle there were two people in Vincent's group who helped me, Raven and Ingrid. Ingrid had befriended Raven and she hated Vincent. She did everything she could to get me out taking the risk that he would find out and kill her. If anything happens to Ingrid and I find out you had anything to do with it....I'll never forgive you. She has become very important to so many of us here, especially Jon.""Raven is dead. My biggest problem with that is that it was ERIN and she decapitated her own SISTER. We can't allow humanity to disappear. I'm all for killing Vincent. Send someone else to do it NOT his little sister.""Don't use the miscarriage as an excuse...." Nikki looked up at him.
"I'm late....""You can be late for wherever you need to be right now, we need to talk this out. And like I said I never sent anyone to kill anyone. Contrary to popular belief that isnt how I lead. I will NEVER order someone to take the life of another. If someone does kill someone who threatens us I am not saying I wont respond happily, but I will never give that order."Kyle sighed and brushed his hair back.
"I wont order Erin to kill Ingrid. I wont order her to kill Vincent. But I wont stop her or bind her. She will do what she needs to for everyone else to live. I love you Nikki....I hope you can see that I am not trying to be a dictator or a tyrant or a killing crazed maniac."Again Kyle could not meet Nikki's eyes when he spoke again.
"And dont say im using the miscarriage as an exuse. Do you know how.......Can you understand....."Kyle teared up slightly.
"I really thought.....I could bring some light into this shit hole of a world. And the thought of being a dad......I mean I went all out. I really trained myself for the role I was going to fill. And to have that taken away..........It isnt an exuse. It is something that will happen often in this world and something I want to prevent."Nikki put her hands over her ears getting pissed off at him.
"Are you fucking done? I'm trying to tell you something!" Nikki stood up and looked him in the eye.
"I said I'M LATE! I think I'm pregnant...again." Nikki didn't seem happy about this at all. She started biting on her fingernails.
"This can't be good. My body is barely healed. What if it's not fully healed what if I lose this one too? I need to have a test done but it would be too early to tell I think. What the fuck am I going to do?!!!"Kyles eyes widened and he started to breathe faster. His pace quickened, his senses widened, he was instantly on red alert. Kyle looked around for anyone else, and when he saw no one he walked over to Nikki and embraced her. He held her close and was not willing to let go.
"Nikki......no one else can know yet. We need to keep this between us and Matt......but just know that whatever happens.....I am willing to support any decision you make. I just.....cant believe this is happening. But we will get through this.....together. I can still say "Together" right?"Nikki looked at him oddly.
"Why do we need to keep it secret if I am? And "support any decision I make?" Are you wanting me to get rid of it?"Kyle looked slightly guilty.
"I thought that is what you just hinted at. No I dont want you to.....but I know its your body and you have been through hell already. Any normal women might have thought of getting rid of it. And we need to keep it a secret because If Vincent finds out........hell if any of his supporters find out I am one hundred percent certain they will try to kidnap you again. I would rather keep them in the dark for as long as possible."Nikki sighed.
"I would keep our baby. I am just frustrated at the timing and worrying probably needlessly. And Vincent doesn't have any supporters in this school. Ingrid is my biggest supporter next to Kat. There is not a chance in hell that she would ever choose to help Vincent. Let's go get a test and see if it can tell yet."Kyle nodded, and held Nikki's hand as they walked out of the gym together.
