Welcome to Gaia! ::

His attack had landed, at least the shattered chair indicated that it did, but the monster had still escaped. Havasu had landed hard on his bad shoulder after his attack and wasn't able to avoid the cutting petals like he had last time. They sliced into his flesh and clothing as the fog returned with a vengeance. By the time the fog dissipated he was kneeling on the ground, holding his shoulder, bleeding from dozens of cuts, and the freaking monster escaped. His job still wasn't done. He needed to find Phact and get her somewhere she could at least safely power down and then try to find Delilah. Not to mention his own transformation back to his civilian self... First responders had to be on their way so he had to get moving before he collapsed right where he was.

He silently promised himself he would move in a moment. He just needed to rest for a little bit. He was just going to lay down for a moment to get his breath back. His eyes drifted shut with the silent observation of needing to get the room to stop spinning. God his shoulder hurt.

Luck was still with him, even after he had been badly injured by that last attack, because Havasu had collapsed behind a toppled table. Shielded from view by the table and other debri he powered down as he slowly passed out, blood seeping steadily from numerous cuts.

Had that thing really just run away?!? All of that trouble and the youma hadn't even been taken down for it! Kells groaned and rubbed idly at the cut on his cheek, wincing as his fingers came away slightly bloody.

Why was it always his face? Every singly time, it was his poor face that got hurt. He was going to sue somebody for this... as soon as he could figure out who.

"Yes, of course, go take care of the---"

Wait. The person she came here with... and his daughter?

That was an odd coincidence...

Surely that was all...?

Callisto remained unaware of the youma's flight or her own situation - for the moment, at least. When she did wake up it would be far from here, and she would be left to deal with the guilt of having been utterly useless in such a dangerous battle.
