Everyone make it back?

[he's, perhaps, a little more gruff than usual. And also he's bandaging his own arm, which promptly stains right through the bandage, and he tsks and applies heavier pressure to it.]

I think it's about time for another camping trip.

[One of Iris' wrists is splinted, but she can still give a thumbs up with it.]

Not exactly, but the boat scooped me and Mira back anyway. Missed you out there.

[What happened?]

[She shrugs, self-deprecating tinged with embarrassment.]

Friendly fire. You know 'ow our Marsh can get around anything psychic.

[Easily hijacked, with his nonexistent defenses, is what she means.]

I could've left it for Jean to deal with, she's got range and I don't, but ...I know what it does to 'im. I couldn't just leave 'im.

I see what you did there.

[Her laugh is immediate and genuine, but part of it is relief: she would never have asked aloud whether taking risks for Marsh's peace of mind counted as That Thing Iris Isn't Going To Do Any More, but nor was she completely certain it wouldn't.]

I'm coming up to look at that, I prefer you with all your blood in you, ta very much. I'll bring duct tape.

I bet I can find summat more fun to bite on than that.

[Said with the patented, wide-eyed Irisian innocent face.

She's there a few minutes later, loaded up with antiseptic spray, local anaesthetic, synthetic skin gel and whisky.]


I'd've put on a naughty nurse outfit but the only one I've got's in Wade's size. So what did you get on the wrong side of, my love?

[That gets him a cocked-head look, because when Cain can't spin something into a funny story, Iris knows it has to have got him on a really sore spot. And she's curious, of course she's curious, but mostly she's just concerned.

She doesn't speak further, only comes and starts working carefully on his injury. She doesn't in any way need to sit on his lap to do this, but it does happen to be workable, and when he hurts she wants to wrap her whole self protectively around him, mind and body and soul, so she goes for maximum contact and asks no questions.

She doesn't speak until she has the wound disinfected and covered to her satisfaction, with bonded organic polymers that will act as scabs until Cain's body finishes the job, and when she's done she tilts her head up to kiss him.]


I got caught in that room with the demons. Little Touko actually rescued me, can you credit it?

[Tiffany, on the other hand, is bouncy as fuck.]

Yes, I did. I made good decisions in that port-- ones that I can look back on and be proud of, just like I was told I should.

I was fucking brave and fierce.

[Paaaause.]

You didn't? You don't look so good.
tucky: (we are all just in here)

[personal profile] tucky 2015-03-06 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well--

[She hesitates, wondering if she should be more subdued. It hadn't been a good port, and she knows that.]

I didn't panic, you know? I was cautious. I looked for help.
tucky: (I just have to wet myself first)

I waited for someone I knew already. It was Simon; he came.

[Gratitude and affection are clear in her tone.]

Sometimes. I got Mason away from some monsters that were eating all his energy; probably would've killed him if we hadn't escaped.

But I always got through it, you know? I was strong.

[She snorts.]

Hot girls. So it was hard to get him away, as you can imagine.

I did. [She took a hot shower, and now she's rubbing antiseptic into all of the cuts and scrapes. Her movements are a bit stiff, but there's no agony in her eyes. She made out all right, this time.]

You sure that doesn't need stitches?
bodilesswarrior: (Concerned)

[personal profile] bodilesswarrior 2015-03-15 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[A slight grimace, as she nods.] If it doesn't work, let me know. [The offer tastes strange in her mouth, but it's not bitter or stilted.]

I - did okay, really. [She gestures at her injuries, ugly but shallow.] Managed to avoid any serious trauma. [Physical or emotional, thank God.]
bodilesswarrior: (Dangerous)

[personal profile] bodilesswarrior 2015-03-20 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[The responding smile is fierce, almost feral.] Dealt with 'em. [And she won't deny it felt good. Cutting loose, wrecking carnage. She couldn't even do that as Batgirl, not really.]
