Pasiphae hated to buden anyone. Asking someone to walk her to the doctor after a huge fight, because she was dripping blood? Definitely a burden. But it would be a bigger burden if she did not accept his help and passed out on the way home. So, she nodded and followed him to the doors, "Yes... please, if it's not a bother. Feeling... light-headed."
She leaned against the frame of the door and reached for a helping hand. That she would have to power down as soon as they got to a safe location was not a concern of hers. She always trusted in her allies. "Thank you... for everything..."

Being trapped in this small space with a monster from her nightmares was terrifying... not as bad as when he had actually put his hands on her, but very, very close. Retreating did little to fix the situation, but it was all she could think to do as her mind raced and she struggled to find a way out of this situation. Maybe back up the hole... but he was between her and it right now, looming in the darkness with a flash of metal and bone.
The flash came with a bloom of burning pain on her hip and the thunk of metal on wood and Ida screamed as her hand fell to clutch the handle of the chakram cutting deeply into her flesh. He was... he was going to slice her up... it made her heart race, pounding in her ears... giving her the strength to rip the weapon out of the wood and whip it back at him, spinning to the side and closer to escape.
When brown eyes fell on a familiar, welcome visage, Ida choked on a sob of relief and struggled to reach Athene's side. Once the first rush had passed, strength seeped in its wake and the flower senshi straightened, wincing as blood ran down her leg.
"You're done, Bischofite." She managed to get out, taking a deep breath. She could hear shouting around them, outside of the stage... the doors were open. "Everyone is escaping."
There was some insult inherent in her throw - the means by which she returned his chakram so haphazardly, in such an amateur fashion. A quick dismissal dissipated his weapons, and the general now stood empty-handed to regard the tiny girl and her tinier companion. The small smile he wore from facing such numbers widened considerably when she indicated the stampede of footsteps that rumbled about them.
"You're right, Ida," the general began, leaning over to look her in the eye from their distanced stances. He kept his arms folded behind his back while he spoke and regarded her with a certain painful clarity that stemmed from seeing too many realities. "I'm done. I need to do no more. Ze doors are open, and everyone stampedes for freedom. But what about ze youma, Ida? Do you really sink zey'll sit around and waf'e goodbye to zeir dwindling meals? No - zey will follow, and zey will disperse over ze majority of Destiny City - if only to hunt zose who just narrowly escaped.
"It's not surprising zat zey managed to break down ze doors. Zis is fine. Zis is good. Zis means freedom for everysing involved. Maybe you were a little too busy to hear it, but I gaf'e ze order for ze dispersal of youma when ze doors opened. So do you really sink it's such a wholesale victory for your team now?" The general straightened up and began a rather precarious walk backward, where he needed to shuffle in order to prevent himself from stepping on errant detritus.
And as he continued forming distance between them, he faded into the shadowed side of the prop storage. "Enjoy putting out ze fires, Ida. You and your friend will haf' your hands full."
Unfortunately, he had been unable to enact part of his plan - in his efforts to double back and prevent Xenotime from dealing with a slew of opposition, he wasted precious time on this ragtag rabble rather than summon another wave of youma to accompany the second grand opening. However, that foresight was not vocalized to the two senshi standing in defiance of him, so his bluff may very well work in his favor. But whether they believed him or not was irrelevant - there still remained enough youma to prove troublesome once they escaped the confines of DestinyCon.
Maybe that was enough. Without lingering on last words, Bischofite dissipated from the shadows - all that remained aside from the senshi were piles upon piles of broken, disturbed props. Shattered dolls to reflect lives lost that day.

"No, not a bother at all" Falias said, relieved as the senshi started following after him. "I'm Falias, Falias Page of Earth" although Falias acknowledged that she probably knew what he was a page of given the strength of her aura, knowing enough about senshi these days to know that the ones with the wings seemed to be the strongest ones - the ones that had been around longest.
He also acknowledged to himself, that it was probable that he would have to let the senshi into his identity in order to help her get to the hospital. It would make her only the second person apart from Camelot to know, but he didn't mind - two civilians would draw less attention than a 'terrorist' and a civilian or even two terrorists.
But not here, here was too unsafe for his liking. Besides he was more than ready to leave with DestinyCon most certainly ending up as nothing more than a con.

Done on my end too, although Falias/ Marlin would be happy to run into Pasi again (albeit hopefully under better circumstances)
Bischofite. Athene made a note of the name as Ida made it over to him, noting that the two of them seemed to have run into each other before, mayhaps even more than once if Ida's words were anything to go by.
He kept his fist balled and his eyes on the Nega-officer, much as he wanted to check and see if his team mate and friend was okay, knowing that that the dark clad officer with his skull adornments and feather cloak was a General and therefore dangerous - after all, all Generals were dangerous.
It seemed however that he wasn't going to have to try and fight the other, at least not today, although the other's words left him confused. He sounds like he wanted people to break down the doors.
But puzzling on the other's words was something that would have to be done on another day, as Athene turned to glance at his friend, the glance turning worried as he noted the blood running down Ida's leg. "Are you okay?" His quiet voice was concerned. "Do you need to get that looked at." He hadn't seen the weapon that the lieutenant wielded, the other having had his back to him at the time - but the fact that the wound was still bleeding? Not good.
The there was Tsui - Athene knew that he'd have to find out what happened to the Tiger senshi as well.
It wasn't that he didn't have faith that their friend wouldn't somehow manage to get out. He did - Tsui was tough - but Tsui being tough wouldn't stop him from checking up on the Tiger senshi. After all Tsui was as much his team mate as Ida.

Ida watched the general go and felt relief flood through her, making her knees weak. It bothered her that he had such a profound affect on her, but she couldn't see a way around that. It was normal to be afraid of something dangerous, even evil...
Athene's quiet concern pulled Ida out of her thoughts and she blinked, clearing her throat softly as she realized her hands were shaking. She tucked them behind her as she took stock of herself. The orchid senshi was tired and beat up, but the worst of it seemed to be the slice on her hip.
"It might need stitches, I guess... his Chakrams are sharp." Every so gently, she probed the wound with her fingertips, testing the depth and amount of pain. "It hurts a lot, but its not too deep. We need to get of here anyway... there is going to be mopping up to do with youma running around town now, and we need to check on Tsui. I hope that captain didn't give her too much trouble."
Ida offered him a bit of a reassuring smile before she moved to find the trap door, glad of her senshi strength as she jumped up and through it to land with a thunk and a wince on the stage. The con was fast clearing out now, the panicked herd making for the streets and dubious safety.
Athene nodded quietly even as he noted Ida's comment about the chakrams. "Yes we need to find Tsui" he agreed as he followed Ida over to the open trap door. "And you should probably get a doctor to check to see if you need stitches."
Jumping up and out was easier than jumping down and in and it wasn't long before Athene found himself next to Ida on the stage. There was no sign of either the Nega-Captain or Tsui too and what people still around seemed to be making a pretty determined beeline for the doors - well make that a panicked stampede.
"It doesn't look like Tsui is still here." At least Athene couldn't sense the eternal senshi's aura about, although he tried a few times to see if he could pick it up. "Looks like the Captain's gone too" he added before adding. "Mayhaps we should make that stop by the doctors, see if we can find Tsui along the way."
And they probably didn't want to still be here should the authorities decide to take an interest in this place.

Ida nodded as she sighed, feeling all of the beating she had taken.
"I don't normally go to doctors... its not easy to explain injuries to my father when he gets the call. This will be hard to explain... if I tell my Da that the convention was attacked, he's never going to let me out of the house again." She shook her head, blowing out a breath.
"Come on, lets go. I'll call Tsui along the way, find out if she's okay. We need to find a safe place to power down. And..." Ida shifted shyly, reaching out to gently touch Athene's arm. "Thanks for following me down there. I'm really glad you two have my back... I don't know what I would have done all by myself."
Turning, the orchid senshi limped her way towards the back, working her way between stampeding people to find an exit and maybe a quiet place to power down.
Athene got the whole not wanting to go to the doctors as well as the finding it difficult to explain injuries thing as he lived with his cousin, a cousin who had not a clue about the senshi stuff that he was involved in and someone who he worked hard to keep her kept in the dark about the whole thing. The wound that the Nega-General had given Ida didn't look great and even if wasn't too deep he was glad that his team mate and friend was making an exception to get it checked out.
"There's no need for thanks" he said quietly at Ida's thanks, having nodded earlier at her mention of giving Tsui a call. "We're a team" he'd have done a lot more than jump down a dodgy trap door for his PSSG friends. "You'd had done the same for us too."
His bit said, Athene followed Ida as she continued to make her way towards the back, hoping as he did that it would yield an possible exit for the two of them.

The doors fell open and the twins had to take a moment to make sure what they were seeing was real. Micah looked at her brother and almost laughed. Almost. She also almost cried. She almost did a lot of things but instead she just stood there panting with her mouth agape. They had done it. All of them. She turned to the others at the door to thank them and had only just opened her mouth when her arm was nearly ripped out of it's socket.
"Let's go idiot," her brother screamed, yanking her out the doors and into the day at long last. And while Micah would have loved to thank her new allies, she couldn't deny Misha's request as her legs took over and rocketed her forward with her brother.
