"Not that I'm doubting you or anything." Des grunted as he kept the thing from going at his throat. "But I'd still feel better if you-" The purplette blinked as Gabriel tackled the body, sending the creature flying. "....Left." Reaching down, the young man pulled something from his boot. "Gabriel. Move." He growled as there was a small noise as Des flicked his switchblade open.

"I can handle this kind of thing better than you'd expect," Gabriel growled, leaning down on the thkng's throat with his arm. Goddamnit, if he was powered up he could go for its starseed - did it even have a starseed?
The schink of the switchblade drew his attention, and he did as Des asked. "Alright, you appear to have this well under control," he said, eyebrows raised.

"Are we really getting into an argument about this? Now?" Des had half a mind to laugh. They sounded like a married couple. The purple hair snorted. "Told you so." The creature took the opportunity to punch Gabriel in the stomach with one hand, while smacking the heel of his other hand into the side of the brunette's head. "Gabriel! Get off it!"

Gabriel coughed when the thing punched him in the stomach. "********!" He swore, and then he rolled off it, away from the hand going for his head. "Alright, there you go, all yours!"

"Sweety, you and I need to have a little talk about rushing in later." The creature scrambled as it got up and growled again, charging at Des. Des just grinned and let the thing run into him, aiming the switch blade at his dopple's shoulder, shoving it in as deep as he could manage. The creature hissed and lurched away clawing at the blade.

Gabriel snorted. "Believe me, I've rushed into worse than this." It hadn't always ended up well, but he definitely had. He let Des handle the washed-out clone - the other man was armed and right then, he wasn't, and he didn't want to leave Des alone for the time it would take him to power up into Captain Natron. Plus, explaining his sudden disappearance, and then reappearance when the officer vanished, would be hard.

"Still. Perhaps we should have another one. Just for shits and giggles." The creature hissed, as it pulled out the blade and ran with it raised at Des. "...Oops." Okay maybe he didn't think that totally through. No biggy. Des simply dodged out of the way anytime the shadow slashed on him. That was, until, Des backed up into a wall. Oops again. How had he managed that. "Well ********." Des grumbled. The shadow grinned and shot forward, embedding the switchblade in Desmond's shoulder as deep as the thing could shove it before jerking the blade out and jumping away.
"Okay, maybe I need that talk.."

Gabriel rolled his eyes, and then he pushed off the ground and narrowed his eyes, waiting for an opening. He was focused on that - until he saw the blade go into Des's shoulder, and then all of his instincts as an officer clicked into place and Gabriel got angry.
Very angry.
He ran at the thing, and even though he was smaller than it, he was well-acquainted with how to fight opponents that were bigger than him. He was also well-acquainted with blades, and what they could do.
At some point in the struggle he got cut, several times - across the chest, across the arm, and across the cheek. Nothing deep, but he was definitely bleeding. He finally managed to get the blade out of the thing's hand and instead of ******** aorund with the shoulder, he went straight for the throat.
And then he sat there, perfectly still, kneeling over the washed-out Des clone as it died.

Des just watched as he kept his jacket pressed to the open wound to stop the bleeding. Pushing himself away from the wall, Des walked over and kneeled next to Gabriel. "Hey." He said softly, hoping he didn't spook the other man, as he gently pried Gabriel's fingers from the the hilt of the switch blade. "You got him Angel."

Gabriel's expression didn't change, he just sank back onto his heels. His entire body was shaking. Goddamnit, he was supposed to be strong, and he'd let whatever the hell this thing was get at Des. If he hadn't stepped off, if he'd actually gotten into the fight - if he'd powered up - Des wouldn't have gotten hurt.
It was his fault. He could've prevented it, and he hadn't.

Desmond pulled Gabriel too him with his good hand, arm snaking across his shoulders. "Gabriel." He called, using the boys real name. "It's okay... You did good."

Gabriel sank against Des, still shaking. He still wasn't properly responding or reacting to anything, really - just still, eyes wide. Des's words were vaguely registering, but they were wrong, he hadn't done good. He'd failed.

The purple haired man just ran his hand through Gabriel's hair a few times before rubbing the back of his neck. "Guess I don't have to worry about you too much huh?" Well that made him feel better atleast. "I'm sorry Angel."

Gabriel whimpered quietly, the closest he'd come to actually responding to anything, and then his hands moved to grip Des's shirt. If he were actually thinking, he would've apologized for getting blood everywhere, but he most definitely was not thinking at all.
And then he started to sob. "God, Des, I'm so sorry, I let you get hurt, I could've stopped that thing well before it got you..." He was whimpering and tears were rolling down his cheeks, stinging the shallow cut there.

"Shhh.. It's alright Angel. Stop Sweety." Des said, smiling a little as he whipped at the tears, and cut on Gabriel's cheek with the sleeve of his shirt. "No.. You did amazing. I'm glad you stayed back. I would have hated for you to get hurt like this." The purple haired boy shook his head."This is nothing Angel, I promise. I've had worse, this is just a scratch as far as I'm concerned. Come on now... Let me see you, are you alright?"
