Kick had never fit into society and as a kid he suffered greatly. He still had scars from those years.
He had shadow like powers. They lived inside of him but could seep out without warning. But the Ghosts found him. A unit of kind hearted men who took him in.
He grew so attached to you and so did his shadows.
So when you didn’t come back from a mission and neither did Kicks shadows he knew something was wrong. His shadows never fully left him and neither did you.
When you were eventually found, the shadows were actively keeping you alive. They had been manually pumping your heart while your body tried to give up.
“My baby.” Kick sobbed seeing the state you were in as his shadows kept you alive as Merrick hauled you into his arms to get you back to the chopper.
