Sterling? Who was Sterling? And just who was this senshi to his...to...to Yu?
Caleb looked away for a moment and then shrugged. “We’ll go to the hospital. You have a pretty gnarly stab wound and that slice in your side is...it needs stitches at the very least. I don’t know any senshi with healing magic but...if you really didn’t want to do the hospital and you know one. You could always call them. It would keep you...you know. Alive for the time being but…”
He shrugged, looking up at Ilya for a moment. “I don’t know who this Sterling is, but if he would do better seeing you...we should go to the hospital. I’ll stay with you. And I’ll make sure he doesn’t pass out down some side street.”
He said nothing about the snappy thing. Caleb had no desire to hurt another senshi. And at the moment, had no desire to hurt Yu. He wanted to know though. If it was really possible to become free of chaos. If that were the case…
Well. That would simply be something to work towards then. Figuring out how to…
Ah. No. Killing them was still better. Easier.
Safer.

“I… just know a Doctor, but he’s kinda at the hospital like the bad way right now. He probably needs proper stitches.” Yu admitted. “Sterling… might? I don’t know, I had a gift from someone, a bone, but I don’t know how much it….” He made a discontented sound. “Hate hospitals.” He grumbled. He glanced back at Ilya, taking the keys with a thankful look if a vaguely uncertain one. “I uh… I owe, like a lot. I’ll try not to make any more surprises.” He looked thoughtful and sagged slightly. “I’ll head to the…hospital.” He said begrudgingly. “If only to check on the others. I just… need to see. I’ll fill you in on everything when I can, okay?” He offered. “I’ll … make sure they don’t go back to the house before I can clean up.” He added. “Or…we… or… But thank you.” He murmured. “Ok…. Cinnabon. I’m gonna put my uniform back on for a moment… I don’t really want to walk right now, and I don’t know how this is going to hit me regardless. We’re gonna teleport.” He said and offered a hand, just to be sure.

A stab wound? A slice in his side?
Beira gave Yu an almost exasperated look and just sighed.
"I'm in one piece," he said, because this was the logical though process.
"I don't want to come back from this and find you exhausted in a puddle of blood on the floor. I'll just have to clean it and you up. If they send you home from the hospital before I come back, go to my place. You'll need to rest and prepare if you're planning on leaving your organization soon."
He looked to Caleb.
"Please don't let him overwork himself. He's stubborn and pushes himself too hard. If he's hurt, he needs to take it easy."
They seemed ready to go, and that meant he should get ready, too. He looked up to the roof; his expression showed no display of emotions. He knew what was up there. He knew what he was going to do about it.
"I'll text you when I can. I look forward to updates, Yu. I'll see you soon."

Scoffing slightly at the nickname, Caleb tightened his hold on Yu, unwilling to let him be out of his grasp. “...If you think that’s a good idea. I’m still coming with you. If that’s your plan, I don’t want to see you dying from it if I’m not there. It might just be faster if I carry you though.”
He had never teleported. Had never had the desire to. Had truly never thought he would give such trust to someone to allow it.
...of course. This could just be the end of the trap but.
...But that was still a senshi talking with Yu like he knew him. And obviously, he must. So...trap or not..if a senshi was involved...well.
That was on him.
“...The sooner we get you to the hospital the happier I’ll be. Lead on, Trash Panda...and um. Good luck with the cleanup, bro. We tried not to leave too much of a mess. And don’t worry. If this one tries to act tough, I’ll just knock him out for a while. No harm done if he’s unconscious.” He was...well.
Not joking but. That was fine.
Quietly, Caleb nodded to Yu. “Come on. Do your thing. I. Trust you. I guess.”

“If you were -anyone else- I’d say ‘very funny’.” Yu said with a critical look like he was half expecting to try ad defend himself from subsequently being ‘K.O’ed’. It also made him weigh the options again. Well… At least if he teleported, and passed out, he was already near the hospital? He didn’t have to share the -order- he meant to do things until they had too many witnesses to make an assault unlikely either. He wanted, needed to see Priam and Sterling after all… they could be concerned about the rest of things, after that. He powered up and teleported them as close to the hospital as he dared, stumbling slightly from having already done it today, head spinning and telling himself it had nothing to do with the cuts, and powered down the second he was sure of his footing. “See? I do that s**t one more time and you don’t even have to work for it.” He quipped. “Let’s get inside, I gotta talk to Sterling and Priam before I let the Ghouls near me.” Surely this was close enough he had a good chance for that. “Also…you are a freaking tattle tale! If he lectures me later I’m … finding you and filling your bathroom with kid cereal or something…. or like, filling your car with those cooler section cinnamon rolls.“

Caleb wrinkled his nose at the feeling that was caused by the teleportation and shook his head in an attempt to clear it, but then just snorted at Yu’s words, once more wrapping a secure arm around him. “Whatever, Yu. I’ll be the one to dump the cereal in your mailbox when I see where you live. Mark my words. You’ll have Cinnamon Toast Crunch everywhere. In your socks. Under your pillow. You’ll never get me out of your head.”
Not like he thought that he ever was out of his head. Moving slowly, he began helping Yu towards the hospital doors, trying to take most of the male’s weight, though right before they got in, he kissed his cheek.
“You’re still mine. But. Perhaps I won’t kill you after all. We. Make a pretty good team.”
Regardless if it was wanted. Regardless if Yu thought otherwise. It didn’t matter. Caleb knew that he was right.

“Yeah well, if I swap to your side I don’t think I get to do the creepy Indiana Jones Chest rip s**t.” He countered. “And what if I already have a team, I’m checking on some people who are on your side of things You’re not allowed to….go after them ok? They aren’t exactly going to compete with you to kill me if you change your mind.” He gave Calem a worried look. “You keep… Kissing me… and I… feel like that may be something we gotta talk about, like… maybe after we’re inside.” Which absolutely said he wanted witnesses, he didn’t quite care that he was that transparent. “Like you can …. still like, claim my untimely demise, that’s probably a given, but ahh… The two guys I want to see….” He hadn’t seen them yet, that probably meant they were safe, right? Right?

He laughed and shook his head. “Whatever, Yu. We can talk later. We’re getting you fixed now.” Caleb knew that he didn’t want to hear whatever Yu was going to say. He knew it wouldn’t be anything good, and so he set out to avoid it at all costs. “If you’re coming to our side, I’m sticking around. And no, if I wanted you dead, I’d just end it right here and now but…” He sucked in a breath, clucking his tongue. “Here I am. Working to save you. Yikes.”
And without another word, he steered the male towards the entrance of the Emergancy room, not giving him a chance to protest. “We’ll find your friends after you’re stitched back together. No arguments. I’m in charge. Deal with it.”
His friends could wait.
Caleb could wait to meet them.
Could wait forever if he had to.
Honestly, it would be better if it took forever.
Right now, Yu was the only thing that mattered.
