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

She pushed his arms away and kept working.

"Why can't you just leave me alone? I didn't asked to be saved. Now I'm visible. I don't like being visible" he groaned out, trying not to wince from the pain

"Well, even if you didn't want to be saved, there are people you could save, which is why we need you," she said, surprised that he was lucid enough to say all that.

"I'm not a savior. I'm a killer. Why else would I be in there? Career criminal over here." he said, knowing full well he was framed, but accepted his fate long ago

Tam nodded, disturbed.

-

"They'll be fine- just hurry."

“Okay. Let’s go now, Tam.” 

-

The girl regained consciousness, a jolt of panic running through her from the lights in the sky. She didn’t understand what this cloth was, either. 

What was happening?

"Welcome back to the land of the living" Starlight said to her, unable to calm her as his side was actively being stitched and fixed

She nodded.

Being small . . . she really wanted to be small right now . . .

She gripped Bat's hand tightly.

-

"Whoa, whoa, hey, it's okay," Irie soothed.

"Remember me? From earlier? It's okay, you're safe now . . . we're going somewhere safe . . ."

“To be fair, we didn’t know anything about your backstory,” Aden informed him. 

"Well, now you do. You still gonna keep me around? or throw me out to the wolves like everyone else in my life?" he asked, trying to sound as tough as possible

Unfortunately for him, to Irie it sounded more sad than tough.

"Keep you around, probably. Rehabilitation is likely."

5 minutes ago, Halcyon The Only said:

“To be fair, we didn’t know anything about your backstory,” Aden informed him. 

Irie nodded at that.

"But you don't have to feel pressured to," she told Starlight.

"We won't force you."

Unfortunately for him, to Irie it sounded more sad than tough.

"Keep you around, probably. Rehabilitation is likely."

"Maybe it was for you. Not here. they tried rehab on me. That trauma sent 4 doctors 6 feet down." he said with regret, knowing it was in self defense but he was still punished

He swam out of the castle, leading her up toward the air. Soleil followed.

She stared at her, then curled up on the seat and rubbed her arms.

“We don’t throw people out around here,” Aden told him. “Lise would never have it. And neither would any of us.”

She swam with him, then climbed up onto the bank, hugging herself.

Irie nodded.

Irie nodded.

Starlight looked away from Irie and down at himself. Eyeing the scars that covered his arms feeling the ones on his face, his legs, everywhere. The piece of him he will never lose. "Look, can I leave, or are you taking me back to your camp without option?" he asked, annoyed

Irie said nothing.

“Maybe,” she whispered, so quietly it was hard to hear. “They’ve done this before.”

Bat wrapped his arms around her. 

The tiny crab pinched her slightly, not wanting to suffocate.

“Camp,” Aden informed him. “Look.” 

He indicated a low concrete building rising out of the shrubbery— maybe half a story high.

She raised an eyebrow.

"Well, we are in a moving vehicle, and you still need serious medical attention . . . so by all means, just hop on out."

She leaned into him and buried her face in his shoulder.

Sorry . . . she whispered, ashamed.

Her hand opened a little to let the crab out.

"Ah, wonderful!"

He looked out at the camp, looking over at Irie and Aden saying "wow, and I though the prison was a hellhole. Clearly I was wrong"

She looked out the side of the jeep. “It hurt,” she finally said. 

-

“It’s okay… how can I help?” 

The crab did NOT want to leave. It was KEEPING its Tam, even if it DIED in the process.

She shrugged and hugged him tighter.

. . . Don't know . . . this is fine.

Well, Tam hoped it wouldn't die. It was scudding adorable.

She rolled her eyes.

"Doubt it. I just feel like I moved from one test facility to another, and if that's the case then do your worst. Those doctors already took everything from me."

"If you say so."

He side-eyed her, trying not to acknowledge her, and keep to himself. The memories are haunting him. they always will.
