Re: FW Part: One

Pel stayed with the two, fallowing Sliet and doing her best to look her Raven.
As they moved along at an achingly slow pace, the danger became more and more present as the sounds of movement echoed both behind and in front of them in the tunnels.
When it became evident that soldiers were almost upon them, she took a deep breath before hurrying Raven down behind some wreckage, despite his protests. She went to help move Sliet before several men headed down the hall, exclaiming at the sight of the three. She steeled herself and ran at them. There was no way she was going to let them take them down now.
The girl stumbled as a bullet hit her but smashed unrelentingly into one soldier, pushing her hand against his chest and forcing heat and electricity into him, using her momentum to push the body into another and stumbling him.

Raven attempted to get up, not willing to hide as Pel rushed at the soldiers. He drew his pistol and aimed with shaking hands, trying to steady himself. The boy felt his stomach turn, trying to just shoot, every part of him urging not to fire as he lined the gun up with the third soldier and shut his eyes at the bang.
The third dropped effectively before doing any more damage to Pel, and the wounded girl hurried back to them, slinging one of their rifles over her back as she coughed and staggered a little before coming up beside Raven. She knew what he'd done and watched his nauseous face in worry, reaching out to him.
The boy stared at her for a second, noticing the wound near her collarbone as his eyes flicked up. "Pel.."
"I know, come on."
He said nothing as she supported him again, pressing on. God, they better make it to the ship soon.

When they made it to the loading dock, it was empty and clean, as if nothing had gone wrong.

Sliet watched the confrontation numbly, not sure how to react until Pel came back to get the boy. The sight of the other injured woke her up a bit. She was supposed to be protecting Pel, not the other way around. She pushed herself off of the wall with fresh determination, stumbling more quickly in the direction of the supply ship.
She slowed down again once they reached the loading dock, looking around a little perplexed. Why hadn't anyone been in here yet to mess things up? Or even to guard it? Some part of her was saying that something was wrong, but the part that wad currently dominant told her to just get this done. So she stumbled onward, her goal set on the control panel.

by **Deathcap** Tue Aug 25, 2015 10:24 pm

Pel fallowed cautiously after Sliet, feeling a little eerie as she walked across the metal grated floors. She stumbled when she noticed Raven halt a little. "H-hey. Come on, It's not much farther." She urged him, noticing him looking away awkwardly. Blood was trickling down his lip.
The boy hesitated. "I...Pel... I don't think I..."
Pel paused uncertainly before frowning and pulling him along forcefully. "Surviving now, bullshit later." She snapped as he yelped, his eyes lowered uncertainly as she dragged him stumbling into the ship. She helped him down onto the floor of the room and let him rest there before looking around at things.
The girl jumped as voice rang out from across the loading dock.
"Sliet!"

by **melodiousmysteries** Tue Aug 25, 2015 10:37 pm

Sliet stuck close to the other two, already feeling terrified to the point of feeling ill, she nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of her name. The dark haired girl whipped around so fast, she nearly fell before she could looke for the source of the voice.

by **Deathcap** Tue Aug 25, 2015 10:46 pm

Harir hesitated a moment as he saw the other, then hurried onto the ramp up to her, slowing a few steps before he reached the girl. He was breathing hard, half his hair matted with blood and his face and skin nicked with cuts, soot and shrapnel. His clothing was burnt and he stood unsteadily where he'd stopped, watching her with relief in his eyes.

by **melodiousmysteries** Tue Aug 25, 2015 11:23 pm

Sliet blinked up at him in disbelief, her eyes pricking with tears as she reached a tentative hand out to make sure he was really there, before pulling him into a tight hug, holding him close. She was careful not to hold him too tightly, unsure of what other injuries he might have, feeling the tears start to overflow silently , burying her face in his shoulder.

by **Deathcap** Tue Aug 25, 2015 11:36 pm

Harir closed his eyes and held onto the other quietly for a moment, not wanting to let go of her. After everything he'd had to get through to stand here he'd barely made it in time. Tears of happiness flecked his eyes as he felt her warmth before he reluctantly pulled back. He smiled a little, gently wiping the tears from her cheeks before planting a kiss on her forehead. Despite his relief he grew tense again. "Soldiers aren't far behind, we should go if we can." He warned.

Pel examined the controls carefully. They looked incredibly familiar to the ship she had once found. She was pretty sure she could do this, though, with Sliet injured, she didn't have much of a choice.

by **melodiousmysteries** Tue Aug 25, 2015 11:57 pm

Sliet looked up at him as he wiped away her tears, just relieved for the moment. She'd been so sure he was gone for good. She nodded a bit more seriously at his warning, feeling much better now, but still a fair bit weak and sore, she would be able to handle it. She reached for his hand, pulling him into the ship and up to where pel was by the controls. "Ready to go?" She asked her a bit uneasily, she was afraid of her own ability to drive this thing, and pel hadn't exactly had many lessons. "Should get those doors closed as soon as you can. We have company on it's way." She warned, trying not to stress the other out too much.

by **Deathcap** Wed Aug 26, 2015 5:38 am

Pel looked up in surprise at Harir, before nodding. Quickly sitting in one of the chair-like piloting areas and managing to set the doors so they closed. She was shaking and nervous at this point, more so now that she had a massive ship and the lives of three others in her hands. An automated voice came on to check through the process as her hands touched the screens and a blue lights shimmered through the controls.
She waited for the others to get secured, glancing back at Raven in worry. He still hadn't said much, his face was deathly pale and the floor near where he was laying was stained with a large smear of blood. She knew it would be best to tend to him after they were all safe, but she was frightened for how long the boy was going to hold up. Thinking again, she got up and went over to him, helping him make it to one of the restraints.
He let out a pained breath at the movement before she pulled the restraints over him. Raven tried to help but his hands were shaking so badly he couldn't do much and did his best to relax uncomfortably, his breathing short and labored.
Pel wanted to help but knew there was little time, and squeezed his hand before heading back to the controls. "Please keep him breathing." She pleaded with Sliet, before turning her attention back to the screens and controls.
After a rough four minutes the ship's engines roared almost deafeningly and Pel felt triumph rush through her as the ship began to take off.

by **melodiousmysteries** Wed Aug 26, 2015 8:28 pm

Sliet watched Pels movements atentively as she manipulated the controls, watching for anything that she may have missed and starting to really get annoyed with not being able to do anything herself. She turned back to Harir once she realized shed completely forgotten about the restraints. "Buckle up." She muttered, pulling him over to another one of the seats. She looked up to Pel as the other spoke. "O-of course. " she stuttered, understanding, but still shaky. She looked Raven up and down a couple times, trying to figure out what to do for this, never having to deal with this before, and Raven didn't seem to be in shape to ask him. "Hang in there kid."she muttered, pulling her jacket off and pressing it to his stomach, unsure of how much preassure to apply. Preassure would help with the bleeding, she hoped. She tucked the garment under the restraints so they would hold it there for her for a while when she felt the ship start to move beneath her, jumping into another seat and hurriedly strapping herself in.

by **Deathcap** Wed Aug 26, 2015 8:56 pm

Raven said nothing, holding still in his seat and letting his eyes close against his better judgement, so he was absolutely terrified when he felt something press hard against him. He let out a muffled noise of pain and jerked, every part of him tense. Stars danced across his vision as the touch aggravated both the sensations from the illness and the gunshot wounds. He stared at Sliet with a betrayed, almost vehement look in his eyes, not understanding why she too was hurting him before noticing the jacket.
He felt extremely confused and disoriented at the moment, but started to realize she was trying to help and made an effort to stay calm, looking down again and holding the cloth where she'd left it.

Harir buckled in quickly, as the ship moved the take off pressure seemed to lesson some how, keeping it level in the area they were in, but there was still an uneasy feeling of gravity in the minuets it took the ship to break through the atmosphere.
Pel let out a cheer before noticing how odd things felt.

by **melodiousmysteries** Wed Aug 26, 2015 9:32 pm

Sliet held on tightly as the ship took off, her eyes tightly shut, waiting for everything around her to burst into flames at any second. That seemed to be how this day was going. Once everything stopped moving, she cracked an eye open almost in disbelief. "We did it?" She said quietly, taking a moment for it to register. "We did it!" She cried excitedly before realizing the boys were still hurt and their success didn't change that. "Ill go get some bandages and stuff." She told Harir, completely oblivious to the odd feeling as she undid her restraints. She let out a small yelp as her first step nearly sent her flying, holding onto one of the belts for dear life, feeling completely weightless.

by **Deathcap** Wed Aug 26, 2015 9:37 pm

Harir looked up in alarm as Sliet seemed to be pulled into the air. What in the hell? He reached out to help her but couldn't quite grab onto the other, and undid his restraints. As he did so, he started to drift off of his seat and let out a confused scream, trying to grab anything, he caught hold of Sliet and clung to her in terror. "Oh dear god what is happening!?" He shrieked.

Pel looked around in confusion but didn't dare undo her buckles. What was going on?

by **melodiousmysteries** Thu Aug 27, 2015 10:04 am

Sliet held onto Harir as he shrieked, trying not to do the same, as much fun as this was. What WAS happening though? She tried to remember someone telling her about this, it didn't seem like something she would forget. Oh right. "Pel! Can you turn the gravity on? Please?! " she cried nervously over to the other.

by **Deathcap** Thu Aug 27, 2015 10:30 am

Pel nodded uncertainly, looking around quickly at the controls and finally managing to activate something. A whirring started and she winced at the thumping of things meeting the floor again before looking around and removing her safety restraints, standing and stumbling a little uneasily.

Harir yelped as they were pulled back to the ground before landing less than softly. He started to get up, feeling disoriented and a little nauseous.

Raven glanced around in confusion, still held sitting up by the restraints as he felt like he was floating up against them before being jerked down again.

by **melodiousmysteries** Thu Aug 27, 2015 11:25 am

Sliet groaned as she hit the floor painfully, half landing on top of Harir, not accustomed to something so little as a fall, hurting that much. "Thank you." She breathed, rolling onto her back and getting slowly to her feet. "I-I'm gonna go find some bandages. " she muttered, looking around and expecting something else to happen when she said it, waiting a moment before running off, returnjng shortly with a box of supplies.

by **Deathcap** Thu Aug 27, 2015 12:20 pm

Pel went over to where Raven was, helping the half- conscious boy out of the restraints. He slumped in her arms and she had to support him carefully. God, there was so much blood. Sliet would fix him, though, right?
She helped him ease onto on a metal table so Sliet would have a better surface to work with, though she noticed him become tense. The girl squeezed his hand, glancing at him uncertainly.
"It's going to be all right. Sliet's going to patch you up." She assured him, unbuttoning his blood soaked shirt with her other hand and wincing slightly at the scars covering his skin. She didn't ask. She didn't want to, but felt her heart drop before pressing the cloth back to the wounds. "Keep that there, okay?"

Raven held the jacket Sliet had given him there and nodded weakly, though he felt very uncertain. The cold metal brought back discomforting memories and he felt very suddenly that he didn't want to be left alone there, but bit back his thoughts, blinking wearily.

by **melodiousmysteries** Thu Aug 27, 2015 1:32 pm

Sliet went over to the table nervously. She had no idea what to do for this. Gunshot wounds weren't exactly something she'd ever had to deal with, at least, without her tech. She set the kit on the table beside the injured boy. She'd managed to find a stack of them that had been stored away, this one had come from the middle of it. Oh well, she would have to clean up that mess later.
She looked over Raven nervously, doing her best to ignore the scars. She remembered looking for recruits at the prison that day. She'd seen what that place could do to people, but they still looked pretty horrific. Wait.. the prison. " Raven". She said sternly, trying to keep him concious and figure out what to do at the same time. "Bullet wounds to the abdomen. Already severe bloodloss. What do you do?" She asked him urgently. She had no idea how to fix this without her tech, but the boy might.

by **Deathcap** Thu Aug 27, 2015 1:55 pm

Raven glanced at Sliet warily as she spoke, doing his best to keep his eyes open. He blinked as she seemed to quiz him and hesitated. She didn't know what to do. Her tech wasn't working. He took a breath, uncertain of what to tell her. Internal damage needed surgery. Otherwise he would either bleed out or sepsis would poison his blood and shut down his vitals, and she couldn't very well operate on him.
"Sliet..." He said softly, faltering but offering a weak smile. "I- I don't think it's anything you can do with a first aid kit." He replied. "B-bandages might st-stop the bleeding...but.." He trailed off before noticing her wound from the EMP. If her tech wasn't working, then she wasn't going to heal, was she? He tried to sit up a little, but gave up. "-You should sterilize and... and cover that though... where... where he hit you. It could get infected if... if you leave it." He told her, having trouble holding onto his train of thought.

by **melodiousmysteries** Thu Aug 27, 2015 2:22 pm

Sliet felt her heart drop to her stomach as the boy spoke, growing tense. There had to be something she could do. "I'll be fine. I'm not the one you should be worrying about. " she snapped, quickly growing frustrated with this situation. She quickly pulled the kit open, grabbing a bottle of rubbing alcohol and moving her jacket off of his stomach. "This is going to hurt." The tall girl growled before pouring half of the bottle over the wounds, fishing most of the gauze and some pain killers from the kit as well before pushing it away.

by **Deathcap** Thu Aug 27, 2015 2:45 pm

Raven looked at her in fear as she started to become angry. He tried to remain calm as she moved and jacket away, then took the cap off of the rubbing alcohol. "Sliet-" He started in worry, shaking. That wasn't going to fix anything. He tried in vain to get up before she poured it onto the wounds. He held back a muffled cry of pain, his fingernails cutting into the palms of his hands in agony. He managed to gasp a couple quick breaths and tried to catch her hand with his trembling one before she did anything else like that. "S-s-liet p-please- don't- h-hurts-" He got out, blinking away the tears that welled up in the corners of his eyes, shifting and feeling helpless.

by **melodiousmysteries** Thu Aug 27, 2015 10:50 pm

Sliet looked up at him worriedly as he brushed her hand, using a lot of whatever energy she had to keep from freaking out. Her eyes fixed on his when he spoke, her soulders going rigid for a moment as she saw the small boy before her once more, for only a fraction of a second. She was terrified, but she nodded, muttering a quiet 'i know' before placeing some of the gauze over the wounds far more gently. She knew it had to hurt, but she had to do something or he would die. "I'm going to wrap that to keep the gauze in place." She warned shakily, grabbing more from the kit.

by **Deathcap** Thu Aug 27, 2015 11:08 pm

As sliet seemed to ease off and the pain settled back into the throbbing ache, Raven let out a short breath, his eyes fluttering closed again. He noticed her tense and felt very uncertain. It was pretty clear she didn't know what she was doing; she'd just tried to pour rubbing alcohol into what was left of his internal organs for one thing, but she seemed too scared to be thinking straight.
"I-its alright... sliet... it just... it just hurts... I-I'm not going to die..." He managed between rough breaths. He wasn't sure how long that would be true, but he was fighting it, and Sliet seemed to trust his medical knowledge, even if that in particular was a lie, she needed some assurance or certainty after everything she'd just gone through.

by **melodiousmysteries** Thu Aug 27, 2015 11:31 pm

Sliet nodded uneasily as Raven spoke again, relaxing marginally. She wasn't sure the boy was in any sort of state to know how ow evwn he was doing, but then again, neither was she really, and this was his thing, what he knew about. She looked at the floor uneasily, her shoulder starting to hurt again now that she gave herself a moment to think.

by **Deathcap** Thu Aug 27, 2015 11:39 pm

Raven held still as he waited for her to apply the bandages. The pain was hardly bearable and he couldn't get his father off of his restless mind... the whole thing was making him sick. The boy wanted to just let himself sink into sleep, though he knew at the moment it wouldn't be a good idea. Sliet might still want directions, and he knew he would need to move somewhere else, and at the back of his mind, he was scared that if he rested he wasn't going to wake up again.
