Irie ran her Plasmabeam-thing through his head, and he slumped to the ground.

"Go!"

Starlight began to run, but stopped briefly to kick the guard in the head before taking off again

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

She shrugged, face blank.

There was something . . . kind of comforting about the deary oceanscape. Dismal, but in a familiar way.

"What do you think, then?"

They ran outside after Aden messed with the controls. 

@_Null_ the moonlight should be interesting for him

Aden ran for a jeep parked randomly in the shadows. 

Irie was close behind. She set the girl in the backseat and buckled her in, did the same for the ther prisoner, (@TwinStorm), and then hopped in next to them.

Starlight stared up at the moon, not remembering if he had ever seen it before. Looking back forward, seeing Aden getting too far ahead

Starlight ran up to the Jeep to check on the girl, and only after realizing she was ok, noticing the whole prison had been awoke

"Uhhh... you guys got anything to handle that?" he asked, pointing to the mound of guards at the door and the gate

"Get in," Aden yelled from the front seat. "Come on!"

"What do you think, then?" 

It was peaceful, out there. Dark, quiet . . .

She started to wonder what would happen if she revoked the Narration that allowed her to breathe underwater . . .

She leaned over the edge of the balcony and gazed into the depths below. It was even more peaceful-looking down there . . .

He shrugged it off, assuming Aden didn't hear him, and jumped into the jeep slamming the door

Bat frowned. He didn't like the way she was looking. 

"Tam? Hey, Tam?" He grabbed her hand.

They drove off at an incredible speed. Strangely, nobody chased them. Aden didn't trust that. 

"Irie, call Lise and give her an update," he directed, taking a turn so fast two wheels briefly left the ground.

Starlight felt the wheels leave the ground, getting upset and shouting "Hey man! Delicate cargo back here!" at Aden

She didn't seem to notice for a moment . . . but then she blinked and looked up at him.

-

"You got it."

She pulled out a heavy-duty phone of sorts and pressed Lise's contact.

Just now, _Null_ said:

"Hey, relax," Irie said next to him, all previous malice gone from her voice. "He's knows that he's doing."

[Existential]

Starlight sat there in the back of the jeep, trying to make sure the girl stayed steady, but slowly beginning to feel exhausted from all the running

"Chill out; I'm a professional!" 

He took a 135 degree turn by sliding on a convenient patch of ice.

"Tam," he said softly, "Are you okay?"

"Hey, Irie. Please give me some good news."

The girl groaned and stirred.

Irie noticed.

"What do you need? We'll have more back at base- but for now we have water, some snacks, a couple blankets . . . do you need first aid attention?"

"I fully do not believe that. If you want me to trust you, stop being reckless and take care of her"

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

Irie noticed.

"What do you need? We'll have more back at base- but for now we have water, some snacks, a couple blankets . . . do you need first aid attention?"

"Nothing. I'm not the worry." He told Irie, a stitch in his side clearly having opened itself back up

He took a 135 degree turn by sliding on a convenient patch of ice. 

. . . WHY

"Okay, that was a little unnecessary, dude."

3 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

"Tam," he said softly, "Are you okay?" 

-

"Hey, Irie. Please give me some good news." 

The girl groaned and stirred. 

She blinked again, then shook her head.

It'd come on so fast this time . . .

That worried her.

She shivered and nodded.

Fine.

-

Irie put a blanket over her.

She eyed his side.

"Would you like to do it yourself, then?"

"I'll... be fine. It's... not... that bad" He said, beginning to sway and black out

"Whoa, okay buddy, hang on . . ."

She caught his shoulders to steady him in case he passed out.

Be back in a hour

well maybe 30 

we'll see

[Existential]

Just now, Through The Living Glass said:

"Whoa, okay buddy, hang on . . ."

She caught his shoulders to steady him in case he passed out.

He slowly steadied as he spit red out the jeep window, trying to stay conscious. "I'm not...worried about it" he said between breaths. "Please just help her. I... I can take care of myself"

He didn't know how to feel now. Being out in the real world just didn't feel right

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

25 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

"Hey, Irie. Please give me some good news." 

"We got three! And Aden managed to not get caught while being as loud as possible- but we got three, Lise!"

"Her injuries are far less serious, and we'll be back soon to take care of them. Yours, on the other hand, need immediate attention."

She opened the first aid kit and put on some gloves, preparing an antiseptic.

Jk, no hot water again -__-

"You might have two in a minute" He groaned out, spitting more out the window and beginning to black out in his seat

Did the sister take it all?

"Also.. don't touch mee wiii--" he tried to say before passing out

CUZ 

Aden turned and grinned at her.

He bit his lip so hard he worried he might chew it off. “Okay,” he whispered. “We should… we should probably go…”

“I wasn’t that loud,” Aden complained. 

“That’s great!” She could hear the smile in Lise’s voice. “I’ll meet you as soon as you get back to base.” 

AW BOO

Possibly

She grumbled something and pulled his shirt up, setting to work cleaning and putting very temporary stitches on.

FR >>:(

She rolled her eyes.

-

She nodded and swam back into the hallway, hands a bit shaky.

-

"You were extremely loud!"

She turned back to the phone.

"Get a medical team ready. Well- two, for that matter."

Bat squeezed her hand. 

“Wait…” Soliel touched their hands. “You’re… leaving?” 

“I’m sorry. But yeah.” 

-

“On it.” The call ended. 

“Not far now,” Aden called back, veering off the road onto the bumpier dirt path— a decently hidden one. “They all gonna make it?”

Starlight lie there, muttering unintelligibly as he slowly began to regain consciousness, trying to pull Irie off him but too weak to do anything about it
