Ivy fell exhausted onto Pain's chest.
Her head was throbbing. Being with him that way was probably not the best thing for her head, but it was good for everything else.
She rolled off him and put her hands on her forehead.
"If it wasn't for the massive headache that accompanies a concussion, I would sign up for one more often to get this kind of attention."
Pain rolled onto his side and rested his head on his hand. His hand sprawled across her stomach.
"You mean men aren't knocking down the door for you?"
Ivy blushed.
"Let's just say, it's been a while."
"Their loss is what I say."
Ivy gave him a playful kiss.
"Could you do me a favor?" she asked.
"Anything."
"Get us some drinks? Maybe a couple of protein bars?"
"Would that mean I'd have to get up?"
"Sorry to say that it would be a requirement,"
she laughed as she turned to face him. "Either that or we could comm 13 to fetch us some. I'm sure he ain't far."
"Somehow I think he might kill the mood."
"Or just me," she said. She ran her foot up the side of his leg as she gave him a pouty look. "Will you fetch me something so I can keep up my strength?"

"That means I'll have to get dressed and I was havin' so much fun bein' naked with you." Pain said, smiling at Ivy as he got out of bed.
Ivy batted her eyelashes and pleaded, "Pretty please? I'd be very happy if you got me something to eat."
Pain smiled again and said, "How can I resist a cute, pouty, naked girl in my bed."
He slipped on his boxers and pants as Ivy watched. Pain then walked over to the control panel and hit the unlock button. Giving her a wink and a smile, he headed up the ladder and into the fore deck, closing the hatch behind him.
It only took him a few minutes to obtain the half dozen protein bars and two glasses of water. He opened his bunk's hatch and climbed down, the glasses of water being held to his chest, while the individually wrapped protein bars were placed in his pants pockets.
As he closed the hatch and locked it, Pain handed Ivy one of the glasses and three of the bars. He placed his three protein bars in his mouth and undid his pants, letting them slid down around his legs.
Getting back into bed with Ivy, Pain took the wrapped protein bars out of his mouth, smiled and said as he set his glass of water on the ground, "Hope that's enough for you. I would've grabbed some more, but everyone in the galley was givin' me odd looks."

Ivy took the glass, but nearly dropped it. Pain looked down at Ivy to see her fighting to keep awake.
"You're exhausted," Pain observed. "You haven't gotten a whole lot of rest in."
"Sleepy," she agreed. "You've worn me out. But in a good way."
She took a drink and handed the glass back to Pain. He had barely gotten it put back on table, when he saw that she had already drifted off. He gently took the protein bars from her hand and set them next to the glass.
He chugged his water, set his own protein bars down and settled himself under the covers, gently pulling Ivy close to him.
His owns eyes started to grow heavy when a loud knock on his bunk door sounded. He heard the voice yell from above. It was Jayne.
"Pain, give the girl a rest and get your pigu up here. River says we have a visitor. Mal wants you downstairs by the airlock mah shong!"
Pain sighed in annoyance. He really didn't want to leave.
"Pain? Did you hear me?" Jayne yelled from outside.
Pain reluctantly got up, putting his pants back on and went to the hatch. He opened it up and looked up.
"I'll be up in a second. Let me get dressed."
"I'm going down then," Jayne said as he left the foredeck.
Pain retreated into his bunk and grabbed the nearest T-Shirt and strapped on his weapon before heading towards the cargo bay.
On the way down, he noticed that the shirt was the one Ivy had been wearing earlier. She hadn't worn it long, but it smelled like her perfume. It was almost distracting, but he shook it off and double timed it down to the air lock.

Cargo Bay - Near the Airlock
Jayne stood near Pain on the side of the airlock and sniffed the air. He sneered as he turned to Pain and asked, "You wearin' a new cologne or somethin'?"
"Yes." Pain replied in a sarcastic tone. "It's called 'I'm Ruttin' the Plant Girl'." He turned to Jayne, gave the man a small smile, and continued, "It's from the 'None of Your Business' line of Blue Sun fragrances."
"Alright people look alive." replied Mal striding up to the airlock. "Got someone on the other side of that door who could either be friendly or deadset on shootin' us all. That bein' said I want all of you to be on your toes and ready for anythin'." He looked around the cargo bay and asked, "Anyone have any questions?"
Pain spoke up and said, "I do, Captain. Can we hurry this up? I've got a cute and very naked girl in my bed, who's in bad need of bein' thoroughly sexed by me."
Mal gave Pain a look, rolled his eyes, then said to the others, "Anyone besides Pain have any questions?" When no one said anything, Mal took that as a 'no' and said, "Alrighty then. Them who have guns, keep your hands near them. This here could be a trap and y'all know how much I like those."
He nodded to Pain to open the door, his hand situated near his trusty gun, as the big mercenary slowly opened the airlock door.

No sooner had Pain broken the airlock seal than the smell of gangrening flesh mixed with that of ripening body waste assaulted the crew's senses, causing them to jump back, hacking and retching. Mal and Jayne exchanged looks, somewhat anxious as to what might lie beyond that door.
Pain: Let's... *cough* ...let's get on with this yet.
Pain grabbed the handle and yanked the door open. A man laid there, half hanging from his harnessed seat. He was disheveled and thoroughly covered in filth, and his head was marred by a deep gash that sported shades of purple.
Pain: Hey, whaddaya know? A dead guy. Someone cue the firing squad. Can I go now?
Mal, nodding to Jayne: Check his pulse.
Jayne: Wh- Hey, I'm not touch...
Mal gave Jayne his customary uncompromising stare. The mercenary swallowed his protest and turned to the module's occupant, extending an arm to prod the man's neck with his joined middle and index fingers.
Pain, fidgeting impatiently: So? He's dead, right? Now, come on, Mal...
Mal: Jayne?
Jayne: I dunno, it's like...
Mal & Pain, speaking at once, with Mal's placid query being largely drowned out by Pain's exasperated outburst: Like what?
Jayne turned back to them, his features bent with astonishment.
Jayne: He's alive, Mal!
Both Pain and Mal simply stood there for a moment, Pain being transfixed with surprise, while Mal face drooped to a pensive scowl. "Pain. Get him to medbay," he finally said, before marching out of the hold with a steady gait.

Ivy woke up and felt for Pain, but all she found were linens. She raised her head up.
"Pain?"
He wasn't around. She frowned. She started to sit up only to have her head pound. The pain meds were wearing off.
She sat up very slowly and swung her legs over the side of the bed. She saw the shirt Pain had worn earlier and slowly bent over to grab it. Sliding it on, she spied her pants at the end of the bed. She slid down to the end of the bed and gingerly slipped them on.
She sat there for the longest time, hoping her head would stop throbbing so bad, but decided that the longer she waited, the worse it was going to feel. She stood up and the world spun a bit. She fought back the urge to vomit.
Swallowing hard she pushed herself over to the hatch and opened it. She climbed up the ladder at a snail's pace and when she got to the top, she took a rest while she sat on the floor of the foredeck.
She took a few deep breaths and pulled herself up to a semi-standing position. Using the wall as a guide, she stumbled along the hallway until she got to the galley. As soon as she reached it, she sat down and laid her head on the table.
She heard someone come in from another direction.
"Ivy! What are you doing in here? You should be resting."
It was Kaylee.
"I was, but the pain meds Simon gave me are wearing off," Ivy explained. "I'm trying to get to the infirmary."
"Well, let me get you over to the couches. I'll go down and ask him for something for you."
"Thank you!" Ivy said, extremely grateful. "I'm not sure if I could've made it all the way to the infirmary. This is harder than I thought it would be."
Kaylee helped her up and supported Ivy as they moved over to the common area. Once there, Ivy laid down, closed her eyes and wished for her head to feel better.
"I'll go see what I can get for you," Kaylee said.
"Thanks Kaylee. You're a really good friend."
Ivy opened her eyes slightly to see Kaylee studying her closely.
"Is that Pain's shirt?" Kaylee asked.

"Yes, sir." replied Pain.
Even though he didn't want to do it, Mal had given Pain an order and as much as he wanted to protest it, the mercenary had to follow it.
He motioned to Jayne and said, "Jayne. On three, you unhook him from the harness and I'll take him to the infirmary."
"You mean I gotta touch him again?" Jayne asked, sneering at the man's stench.
"Hey you're gettin' the easy part of the job." retorted Pain, cupping a hand over his nose and mouth. "I'm the one who has to take him to the infirmary."
As Jayne got into position to unhook the man from his harness, while doing his best not to touch the guy too much, Pain took a few deep breaths, trying not to gag on the stench and said as he removed his hand from his mouth, "One."
Jayne found the harness release as Pain got into position and said, "Two."
Jayne's finger hovered over the button, waiting for the last number.
"Three." Pain called out, catching the man as Jayne's finger pressed the button.
The smell grew stronger as Pain pulled the guy away from his seat and set him on the floor. Pain fought back the urge to vomit as he ran one arm under the man's neck and another underneath his knees. Pain made a face as he felt something squishy in the man's pants and hoisted him up.
"That ain't right." replied a disgusted Pain as he started to take the man over to Serenity's infirmary. "That ain't right at all."
Infirmary
"Here you go, Doc." replied Pain as he walked into the infirmary and set the smelly, half-dead man in the exam chair. Looking at his clothes and arms, Pain muttered in disgust, "Ah motherruttin' hell, I got that hun dans' stink and waste on my clothes." He shook his head and said as he exited the infirmary and walked over to the shower room, "Goin' to have to take a shower and space these clothes, cause ain't nothin' aboard this ship's goin' to get that stink out of clothin'."
Twenty minutes later
Pain stepped out of the shower room wearing a towel around his waist and his gun belt slung over his shoulder, smelling fresh and looking clean. In outstretched hands, Pain held a towel and wrapped in that towel where his smelly clothes. He entered the cargo bay and walked over to the bomb bay doors. After placing the towel covered clothes on the doors, Pain reached up and grabbed the control box hanging overhead. He pressed a button and watched as the doors lowered a few inches and slid open, spilling the towel and clothes into the empty bomb bay. Pressing the same button again, Pain watched as the doors closed shut.
With a grin he pressed a second button which opened the exterior bomb bay doors and said, "Goodbye smelly clothes."
He scanned the cargo bay for a minute and then decided to go to his bunk and put on some clean clothes. The captain only told him to take the guy to the infirmary. He didn't tell Pain he had to stay. With a grin on his face Pain turned and headed up the stairs near the infirmary, entered the aft deck, and waltzed into the galley.
Galley

"I believe it is." Pain replied, still grinning.
Kaylee turned to see Pain wearing a towel around his waist and his gun belt slung across his chest. She blushed a little and asked, "So um whatcha doin' in a towel, Pain?"
"Had to get cleaned up after havin' to haul a half-dead, smelly guy into the infirmary." replied Pain, the grin fading from his face. "Had to space my clothes afterwards, cause the stench was just so bad. I'm thinkin' about headin' to my bunk and puttin' on some clean ones."
He noticed Ivy was there, smiled at her, then asked, "So what are doin' up here? I thought you were sleepin'."

Red. He couldn't think of another way to describe it. It was as if the color red had swept over his senses. He heard red, tasted red, touched red, and, in spite of the fact that his eyelids obstinately refused to slide open, saw red. He tried to move, but with no success. It felt as though his body had been deafened to his mind's commands. "I was drugged," he realized. All at once, things got a whole lot simpler. He was being detained, presumably against his will. His captors had doped him, thinking that it would render him easier to manage. Little did they know, he had been trained to resist such methods of subversion of consciousness. The crimson veil that swathed his perceptions was already fading. Soon enough, he would regain control over his body. And then, he would make them sorry.

Simon leaned over his newest patient's head to get a clear look at his wound. He'd had a busy day, but over the course of his time on board Serenity, he had come to expect injuries to come about in bunches. He grabbed the ceiling-mounted light fixture and pulled it to him, setting it so that it would shine its light where he needed it. The blood had only partially clotted, and the wound showed obvious signs of infection. How this man had managed to remain alive bathing in his own filth for heaven knows how long while bearing this kind of trauma was beyond his comprehension. He straightened up and walked along the edge of the operating bed, then turned to get something from one of the drawers when...

Bellowing like a wounded animal, Isahiah jumped the doctor from behind, pinning him against the stainless steel counter. "Who are you? Where am I? Answer me!" he shouted, his mouth mere inches away from the young man's ear.
Simon: Well, I... HELP!

"I tried to, but the pain meds Simon gave me are wearing off. I was coming down to get some more."
Pain frowned.
"You were coming down there all on your own?"
"Yes, but I only got this far. Thought my head was going to explode."
"Well, lucky for you, I managed to snag some of the stuff that Simon gave you while I was downstairs, " he said as he slid a small package out that was tucked down into his gun holster. "Figured you'd need them soon."
"I could kiss you right now," Ivy exclaimed.
"I'm hoping you'll do more than that when we get back to my bunk," Pain grinned.
"Oh, God!" Kaylee exclaimed as she went and got a glass of water for Ivy. She snatched the drugs out of Pain's hand. "That's enough. I'll give her the pills she needs and you go... you go get dressed!"
"Thanks, lil' Kaylee," Pain said. He looked over at Ivy. "I'll be back in a jiff to fetch you."
"I'll be waiting," Ivy answered.

"I know." Pain replied, giving her a grin.
Pain turned and headed for his bunk. As he opened the hatch and started to climb down, he stopped and gave to two ladies in the galley a smile, before heading down into his bunk, closing the hatch behind him.
It only took him about three minutes to get dressed, although he figured Ivy would take less time than that to undress him. He smiled wide at that thought, before climbing out of his bunk and heading back down to the galley. He had just stepped into the galley adjusting his gun belt and was about to carry Ivy back to his room, when he heard Simon's scream.

"Rutt me." Pain muttered, quickly unholstering his gun. To Kaylee, he said, "Stay with her."
And at that, Pain ran out of the galley and down the stairs towards the infirmary with gun drawn.
