"I think you know, but you don't want to remember." Pain said to her, trying his best to calm her down. "Bein' alone in our bunk must've triggered a meltdown and caused you to think you were somewhere back in your past. Judgin' by what's happened, I think you were tryin' to escape from wherever you were bein' held. When you punched Jayne in the jewels once you realized he wasn't me, you mentioned that's what he got for stickin' his tool where it didn't belong, although you two definitely did not have sex. You then pointed the gun that you had at me and said not to get any ideas and to drop our guns. That was right before you got tranquilized from behind."
Pain let out a sigh, obviously pained that he had to recount to Ivy what she did and fearing that it might cause her to have another breakdown. Nonetheless he continued to tell her what happened. She did ask him to do so.
"In the infirmary once the tranq wore off and Mal had stopped me and Jayne from fightin', you woke up still not knowin' where you were. The doc asked you to stay in the bed, but you told him that you weren't gettin' back in his bed ever again. I had to hold you back while the doctor drugged you again." replied Pain. He looked into her eyes and continued, "Baobei? What Mal told me is that you were a slave and that you probably were raped by your master and I'm guessin' whatever goons they might've had. I saw the numbers on your wrist. The ones covered up by your tattoo on your wrist. My chat with Grayson was to tell him that I knew. And Inara's friend who's comin' to help? She specializes in sexual abuse cases. Ivy? I love you with all my heart and I'm willin' to do whatever to help you get through this. Even if it means havin' to call in others for assistance."

"Raped?" she echoed softly as she sat down on the floor. She was searching her mind, looking for a shred of evidence. It took a few minutes. "Raped."
She paused for a second.
"It started with my Master. He apparently liked me," she said, her lip trembling. "I kicked him in the jewels the first two times he tried, but then he whipped..."
She got a far away look in her eyes.
"And the others... the others..." Ivy started, but Tommy slid forward, standing up and casting a fiery gaze at Pain. "What in the Hell are you doing? She don't need to know this! She don't need to know how many times a day they..."
Tommy set her jaw.
"She just doesn't need to know. Dong ma?"

Pain and Ivy's Bunk
Pain listened as Ivy spoke. Her words confirmed that the scars on her back where from a whip and not some fall from a tree. He was sad and heartbroken that she had to go through such an ordeal like being sold into slavery and sexually abused by her master. However he was angry that someone would do something so heinous to woman like Ivy. She didn't deserve any of what happened to her. Not one bit. He learned that there were others too and it made his blood boil, but before he could voice an opinion, Ivy stood up and glared at him. Pain knew it was Tommy doing the glaring, he didn't need the following tongue lashing to tell him that she had slid forward.

Tommy set her jaw.
"She just doesn't need to know. Dong ma?"
"I apologize, Tommy." Pain said to her as he looked into her blazing green eyes. "Ivy wanted to know what happened to her today and demanded that I tell her. I figured I wouldn't beat around the bush and gave her the truth. Again I'm sorry, but she needed to know and I didn't feel like lyin' to her."

"But did you have to tell her that she'd been raped? Couldn't you have just left it at the fact she thought Jayne was you? You've just opened a gaping hole where she could just walk through at any time!" She said as she started to pace and talk to herself. "This is going to take a while to close... To hide... To bury... So she won't know."
It was a strange side of Tommy. One that actually almost made her look unhinged and Tommy was usually the calmer one of the two.
"Can't talk about it. She needs to forget or everything else will come up too," Tommy muttered to herself as she paced manically. "Can't have anyone poking around in her head, especially no one like that hun dan John. The things he could've done... He had to be stopped..."

"That may or may not be true, baobei." replied Pain as he watched Tommy pace around in circles, muttering incessantly. "But the way Ivy was acting when I returned, scared the go-se out of me. I only did what I thought was right. I'm sorry, babe. Really I am. Is there anythin' I can do to make you stop wearin' a circular hole through the floor gratin'?"
He was really worried about Tommy and sorry that he had told Ivy what he did, even though she did ask him to. He was willing to do whatever it took to calm Tommy down and get her back to a more rational state of being.
He followed her around as she paced about and pleaded, "Please, baobei. Is there anythin' I can do to say or show that I'm sorry for tellin' Ivy what I told her? Anythin' at all?"

"Not mad at you, Pain," Tommy whispered as she paced. "Just have to keep everything together. I need to keep her safe. Safe. Safe. Yes, I need to make sure she's safe."
Tommy went back to mumbling as she began to pick at the hem of the shirt she was wearing. Her pacing continued.
"Keep her safe. She can't find out. Finding out will kill her. Can't. No can't."
Tommy suddenly froze and turned around to look at Pain.
"You can do something..." she finally said. "Make love to us. Remind her what sex is supposed to be like before she falls into the depths where only abuse lives. Don't let her backslide and forget that one key concept."
She stepped closer to Pain and tilted her face up until her lips neared his.
"Don't let us forget..."
OOC: Joooooohhhhnnnnn! Where are you?

"I won't let either you of forget, darlin'." Pain replied back as he wrapped his arms around Tommy's waist.
He gave her a passionate embrace that seemed to stop time and melt away worries as their tongues slowly danced about inside each others mouth. While they were still engaged in stealing their partner's breath, Pain picked Tommy up and carried her to their bed. They kept on kissing as they got in, laying our their sides face to face.
When their lips finally departed, Pain brushed a few errant strands of Tommy's blond locks from her forehead and said as he looked into her eyes, "But you're still healin' from the injuries you received from our last job. Perhaps we should hold off on the sex until you're fully healed, baby. I know we had sex earlier, but I don't want to strain you. We can still make out and feel each other up though." He gave her another kiss and added, "I promise to give you really, really awesome sex when you're one hundred percent recovered. I'm talkin' the 'not leavin' the bunk for a whole week' kind of lovin'. Does that sound like a fair deal?"

Tommy's whole body tensed. She pushed away from Pain and sat up.
"You can't do it can you?" Tommy asked. "You can't make love to her now that you know."
She looked at him like she was studying a specimen under a microscope.
"Or is it about the fact she almost sexed up Jayne?"
She very carefully got up off the bed.
"I was there, Pain. I couldn't do anything to stop what was happening here, but she wasn't the only guilty party. Jayne kissed her back and he was more than mildly stimulated, if you know what I mean."
She walked over to the ladder leading out.
"Think about this, you knew she was broken when you got into this relationship. Don't crush her even more. I don't think we could take it."
Tommy turned to try to leave, but winced visibly when trying to climb up the ladder.
"Perhaps you should leave for a while. We can't."

Grayson couldn't take it any longer. He needed to know what Pain had found out. He had set course for Serenity, but decided to wave Pain first. If he didn't get satisfactory answers, he'd head out to make an intercept course.
So he placed the wave and waiting for Pain to answer.
"Come on, come on, come on, Pain," he whispered as he waited. "Answer the gorram wave."

Pain and Ivy's Bunk
Pain let out a frustrated sigh as Tommy left. He shook his head and was about to go follow to set her straight when he heard the little chime that he had a new wave. He swore under his breath and went over to the Cortex screen in his room. He called up the wave and saw that it was from Grayson. Pain felt guilty for not getting back to the lawman sooner and decided to answer the man's wave.
"Hey, Grayson." he said to the screen. "Sorry for not gettin' back to you sooner, but Ivy had a little episode in the infirmary that had to be taken care of. In fact our Companion onboard has even agreed to call up a friend who can help Ivy." He pulled up the chair from his desk and sat in it as he continued, "I know she was raped by her Master, Grayson. Tommy mentioned it and Mal figured it out from the incident that happened today. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go get Tommy. She stormed off when I more or less refused to have sex with her. I'll go get my CorPad so you can talk to me from there. Pain out."
Pain turned off the Cortex screen and rummaged through his desk, finding his CorPad. He slipped it into his pants pocket and went to go find Tommy to apologize and set things right. Hopefully he'd be able to find her before she had another incident.
