When she had received a call from a phone number she didn't recognize, Fiona had anticipated that it would be work related. To her unfortunate surprise it was a request to come collect her dear, injured friend. A friend she couldn't be surprised had been injured because Khaleel's folly was his pure heart.
To whomever she'd been talking to she said, "I'll be there in ten minutes."
Then, Fiona had hung up, snagging her on-the-go-med-kit before making her way towards the location as it had been described to her. Luckily years of exploring, and patrolling, kept her knowledge of the city sharp and she managed to arrive in approximately eight minutes post-phone call.
The bag was slung over her shoulder once she parked and she was hurrying over to the pair. "Over here," she called, arm already extended to catch Khaleel and let him rest his weight on her for support. "Help me get him into the backseat," she told the girl she didn't recognize.
There would be time for introductions later, right now taking care of her friend's injuries was most important.

It had been one of the most awkward phone calls Jack had ever had the make, but she'd done so without hesitation. Giving her name after an initial bid for confirmation that she'd reached the right person. Then she'd given the girl on the other side of the phone the quickest run down of the situation she could manage without leaving out anything important. When she'd hung up Jack had put her phone away again, then folded her legs beneath her so the poor guy could lean against her while they waited. Eight minutes wasn't a long time, but it'd felt longer, and dark skinned woman was chewing on the edge of a nail as another girl came running up to them. "Oh! She's here, Khaleel! Hang on." Together they got him over to the car and into the back seat. Hands free finally (And now a bit bloody) she hovered nervously beside the bumper, anxious to offer some manner of assistance, and not entirely sure how. "Is-is he alright? I mean, is he going to be?" Please let him be alright.

Fiona came in like a sweet angel.
"Ah Fiona......" Khaleel waved weakly, bloodied hand coming up and his smile lopsided but still sunny. "Fiona, we have friend. This is Jack. Jack this is Fiona. She good people." There introductions over. He tried to help the women get him into the backseat and grimaced as the move made a fresh wetness on his shirt.
"Uh oh, I am getting blood all over the seat." He frowned, "I will have dry cleaned, but we won't tell right?" he brought a finger up and then wagged it at Jack.
"No sad faces miss Jack!!" He called from the backseat, "We do not rescue people for sad faces!"

While she wasn't intending on being rude, Fiona's attention was solely focused on Khaleel's wounds. A towel was fished from the backseat and she offered it to him. "Stop fussing about that," she scolded, already messing with the hem of his shirt to tug it up and off while doing the peeling in a slow manner to prevent the fabric from pulling and worsening the wound.
It was only when Jack expressed her fears about their mutual companion that the ginger paid the girl more attention. Her smile was gentle and the hand not pressing a compress against Khaleel's wound was placed on her shoulder.
"He'll be fine. We've been through worse," she assured the girl before she was moving again, fishing out anti-bacterial wipes. "He likely won't need stitches, which makes this easy. Ish."
Her attention was focused on cleaning the wound before she was fishing for gauze pads and wraps.

The reassurance took the panicked edge off, but Jack was still worried as she looked past Fiona and down at Khaleel where he was stretched out along the back seat of the car. With his shirt off the wound did look smaller, but she'd watched that dark spot spread as bled out at her feet. She didn't know how much he'd lost, but he'd been hurt enough that he seemed to have lost the strength to stay...well, as whatever he'd been when he'd found her and turned that giant spider to dust. But something the other girl said registered as well, and Jack lifted her head to the one preforming the first aid on their mutual friend. "Are you, I mean. Do you have powers too?" She wasn't sure what else to call it. She recalled hearing about magical terrorists on the news, but surely Altias wasn't that. He'd jumped in to save her at great personal risk. "Is there anything I can help with?" It looked like Fiona had it under control, but maybe she could use a spare pair of hands to help grab things for her?

Well there was a problem with that question....seeing as Fiona tried to keep a low profile. Uh oh, he probably hadn't thought it through. He made a face as he tried really hard to think of some kind of lie.
"Fiona is my mom....friend! She always takes care of me!" Fiona got a look, "She doesn't know about powers. Miss Jack is silly, I just saved her from a villian...chasing her! No big deal!" He gave thumbs up as if lying got them anywhere.
"Here, Here Miss Jack! We should take you home and stuff...do you need hospital?" the blonde just wanted to lay down now to rest...

Fiona focused more on making sure that Khaleel's wounds were cared for than answering the girl's question. It wasn't that she wasn't intending to answer, Khaleel had already exposed himself to her and any risks he took, well...they were a family so Fiona would take the risks with him.
It was dangerous, but she wasn't going to leave any of her family behind.
"It's okay Khaleel," she told him gently, tucking in the gauze so that it'd hold itself in place. To Jack she turned, lips pressed together while she decided what she was going to say. "I think we've got it covered here."
She paused and took the time to pack the supplies back up. "I do, but it's very important for both of us that you keep that knowledge a secret." She didn't think that she had to worry with Jack, but her trust had been misplaced before.
"We've taken a lot of risk, trusting you with this." It was so reckless to expose themselves to a girl they didn't know but she wanted to believe the best in people. "Do you want a ride somewhere? Do you need me to look at you too?"

Dark brows creased in confusion as Khaleel's response to her question, and she gave him a baffled look as he twisted the story around from what it was to something else. Did Fiona not know? That being the first person the man called for help, Jack had assumed she was aware of the whole...magic thing. Still frowning she shook her head. "I'm alright, just a couple of scraps and bruises..." She trailed off as Fiona spoke up and relief flooded her features both at the confirmation that she hadn't misspoken or assumed incorrectly. Nodding, Jack turned bright eyes from Khaleel to Fiona. "I won't betray your trust. Your secret is safe with me." She might not have understood the gravity of the situation totally, but she understood risk and trust, and Khaleel had saved her life. She certainly owed him and his friend her trust in return for that. "I-I think I can make it back to my car from here, I don't want to be a burden any longer." She waved a hand dismissing any protest. "Getting Khaleel home is more pressing, Thank you for helping him. I mean, I know you would have anywyas since you're friends, but-but, um...thank you."

Since miss Jack said so, the blonde relaxed and flopped into the backseat. The cheerful facade disappearing under a weariness and pain.
"Okay Miss Jack." It was like a night and day switch for the man, and he did his best to cover his face. "Be safe driving back!" The blonde just wanted to curl up and rest...
"No more spiders for you!" He waved and then got comfy as he could for the ride home. He tried not to burden Fiona as much as he could, so once Jack was safe and gone, he turned a small smile on his friend and leader.
"I didn't die!"
