Temp Fix

[Liara]

Selene grabbed Noonian and pulled him to his feet. They didn’t have long before the bomb her father left went off.

“We have to move.” Selene told him her eyes searching for an exit and landing on the door to the walk-in in freezer. “Noonian move!”

[Khan Noonian Singh]

Noonian threw the knife at Khan and sliced him in the leg, before grabbing Selene and pushing her into the back room where there was a large cooler and slamming the door just as the explosive rocked the small ice cream shop, bringing the ceiling and walls in. The door to the walk in cooler wasn't locked, but the debris kept them trapped behind the fallen ceiling and the wall.

Groaning as he felt the air knocked out of him by the explosion from both the device and the air pressure rushing out of the cooler, he looked at Selene with concern as she was trembling.

"Are you hurt? Did you get hit?" he asked, his voice full of concern, more concern for her than from the burns he was feeling blister his back.

[Liara]

The freezer was smaller then she thought it was just big enough for them to walk through with the ice cream containers lining the walls. Space was tight and the walls felt like they were closing in on her. The lights flickered causing Selene’s to jump as she wrapped her arms around herself.

The lights flickered again and then the freezer when dark.

“I have to get out.” Selene said, her voice panicked, as she moved to the door and tried to force it open.

The door wouldn’t budge just like the lid on her box. She pushed harder and harder but the door still wouldn’t move.

“Let me out!” She said tears in her eyes as she started to claw at the door. “I’m sorry I won’t do it again.”

[Khan Noonian Singh]

"Selene... we'll get out." Noonian said as he put his hand on her shoulder. "Do you have a communicator?" he pulled out the broken pieces of his own.

[Liara]

“Noonian?” Selene asked softly as she heard him say her name and felt his hand on her shoulder. Her body was still trembling as she sank down to the floor against the door. Despite the size of the freezer she felt so tiny. Even in the darkness it felt as though the walls were closing in around her ready to consume her.

[Khan Noonian Singh]

"I'm here... we'll get out of this." Noonian said as he looked around the freezer for anything they could use to pry the door open or to get a message out. "You're mostly safe." he cocked his head slightly and winced. "Too much to hope he got caught in the blast, probably a natural gas line for restaurant next door."

[Liara]

“I’m sorry.” Selene said as she hugged her knees to chest. “It’s my fault. I’m weak.”

[Khan Noonian Singh]

"You are not!" Noonian said as he looked into her eyes. "Do not believe his lies. Although if Clint didn't give you a buffer band or a communicator, I'm literally kicking his backside once we're free." he put the parts of his communicator on a tub of ice cream and grabbed a coat that was laying on the floor. "Spare key... gum... forty credits." he muttered as he fished around the pockets. "Now I wish I had added telepathy to my enhancements."

[Liara]

“Ummm...wait. He did.” Selene said as she slipped the bracelet looking device off her wrist and handed it to him. “I’m sorry I’m not...I’m not thinking clearly.”

[Khan Noonian Singh]

Noonian took the band and smiled. "It's quite alright... not my first explosion I've lived through. My back skin is tougher than normal, although it's blistered, going to need a dermal regnerator after this, and we do not tell Natalia." he went through the menu on the buffer band and brought out a communicator and a pinch phaser. "Clint... anyone... can you read me?"

"Zskkksstt... ed.. zzzttss... ou... ian..." a crackly voice replied.

"Lock onto us..." Noonian requested.

"zSSZZZKkkktts... able to... rry..." a voice replied. ".Zzz old... on for... cue..."

"Guess beaming out isn't going to work." Noonian said and wrapped the coat around Selene's shoulders. "We get out of this, we're hunting Khan, I'll make the kill. I do not think you'd feel comfortable ripping his head off his shoulders? Or would you? Still... I wouldn't want you to see his lifeless eyes when you look at me."
