"Arms." Eara bit her lip. "Leg. I think right's worse off." she added.
True enough, her left arm was at a funky angle, but the right hardly looked like it had bones at all. "Mission..." she started to worry. "What about the next missions?
Morrigan nodded slowly. "True. Korreds, right?"

Patch nodded. "Yeah. We have some in the ranks. They help us get around, mostly. Only exception to the iron rule I've ever founds, which again, is handy. Means if they need to work with iron in medical emergencies they can."
------
Julius nodded and sighed. "Yeah. You got pretty beat up, Little Rose. And don't worry about the next mission. Nice thing about out size is there is always someone available. Just worry about getting better, okay?"

Morrigan nodded. "So how much longer before I can get out of here?"
Eara shook her head. "Can't be a newbie! Need to work!" she protested. "Leaves! Once bones set, leaves..."
Morphine was amazing for the fae, and thankfully they'd taken her weakness to most toxins and the like into account. A little went a loooong way. "Work, work..." she smiled. "I'll be bored!!"

Julius smiled and began setting Eara's bones. He slinted her limps for the time being; they'd put a proper cast of later.
"We'll get you a wheelchair," he promised.
--------
"Not too much longer, Patch said, finishing with the last bullet and washing his hands ans bubbles sterlized the wound.
"Just need to give you a couple of shots to make sure your blood is clear of any iron infections and then you should be all clear."

"I'm not a gimp!!!" Eara protested. "I'm not handicapped!"
She wasn't going to like this at ALL. "How am I going to move my arms?" she frowned. "Now Piper's going to be right, I AM gonna go crazy..."
She wasn't even tolerating being in one place long now. "Baah..."
She watched him set her leg curiously---the leg and left arm were relatively simple. "So what happens now?"
Morrigan nodded. "Alright. I'll be patient." she promised with a sigh.
She had thought this was going to be a lot worse than it had been. She held out her arm, already sterilizing the inside of her elbow with an alcohol swab. "Ready when you are."

"Juts two quick shots," Ptach said. "Oh, and if you don't mind, we'd like to take a blood sample before we inject you. That way we have you on record in case you ever need our services again, and we can better help anyone that gets brought in that has a similiar case."
----------
"You have to work on staying still, that's what," Julius said.

Morrigan seemed leery of this, however she simply nodded, swabbing the same spot again. "Just do it."
Eara sighed. "Alllriiight." she closed her eyes. "Can I get icecream?" she beamed suddenly.
Oh yeah, the morphine was kicking in. "I feel great. Hey! Actually, how AM I going to eat?" her eyes widened. "I don't want to be treated like a kid..."

"It's either spoon feeding or test tubes," Julius said with a smile.
-------
Patch nodded and inserted the tubes, drawing out three small vials of blood, then giving Morrigan two shots, one of the combo anti-iron and antidote and one with a full dose of the antidote.

"Spoon feeding." Eara sighed. "I can't imagine not tasting for a week. That's how long this'll take, right? A week or less?"
Ok, now she was getting hopeful.
Morrigan took the shots without incident, but it wasn't until she received the second full dosage that she began to fall out of it. "W....wait a second... where... where the hell am I??" she asked, looking around. "Who are you? And you? And what the hell happened? One minute, I'm on Tarnbsei, and...And Po-ar, where's Po-ar?! Kazu-kun?!!"
She was on her feet in a second, panicking. "Oh gods, what the hell happened??? Are they alright?? You're not Aled's people are you?" she took a step back. "No...no..."
She started to relax a bit. "This isn't Tarnbsei, this is Earth... I... I don't understand, what happened??"

Patch and Bubbles looked at each other and grinned.
"Welcome, Morrigan, to the Fir Darrigs base," Fir said, reappearing in front of Morrigan and taking a little bow. "I see you've already met my top medics. Okay you two, off to give your healing touch to the others."
---------
Julius raised his eyebrows. "I don't think so Little Rose. You're looking at probably close to...oh I'd say eighteen weeks, give or take."

Eara just gaped. "That's...that's...." she whispered. "Oh....my....gods..."
She wasn't sure how to handle this at all. "But....but..."
Morrigan narrowed her eyes suspiciously of Fir, but it appeared that after their little talk about Kazuhiko she was less hateful than before. "Fir." she muttered. "Great to see you. Enough with the introductions---what the hell happened? Where's my family?" she clenched and unclenched her fist. "And who shot me? Why? What the hell happened?? Why don't I remember any of this??"

"Sorry," Julius shrugged. "That's just how it is."
"What is that newbie want out of bed fast again?" Patch snapped crankily. He was defaintly out of place in the group. The human was probably in his 60's with while white hair, walked on two canes and had an eyepatch over his left eye. Okay, well the eyepatch probably fit in fine, though anyone else would have worn it for style rather an function.
----------
"Aled drugged you. Made you forget everything and think Aled was the best thing since sliced bread," Fir said with a shrug. "I don't know what happened to Po-ar or Kazu, but Aled got away and we were just able to get you and Pixel out of there."

Eara sighed. "I'm a bard... Honestly, I don't remember the last time I stayed in one place that long. I wouldn't even stay at Capsule Corp for more than a few days." she closed her eyes. "Damnit Mor... Ah well..."
She was just grateful she wasn't in so much pain anymore. "So, Patches, how is the b***h?"
She was holding this grudge for a good while. "She around yet?"
Morrigan seemed to hold her breath for a long time, clearly worried. "Po-ar..." she whispered, "Neither him or Kazuhiko are on this planet... I can't sense Kazu-kun anywhere."
She began to pace and drum her fingers nervously, shoulders immediately tensing up. "What if he drugs them too? They'll forget me... What did I do, Fir??" she asked, pausing and turning to him. "What did I do to get shot?"

"Remembering everything," Patch said as he examined Eara. "Bubbles, prepare some casts. Julius, you can probably look after the others now."
-------
"Then we have an antidote," Fir said with a shrug. "One that obviously works. Thank God Pixel's already resitent to it though. Even so, that sucker messes up our illusions like a moofo."
He gave Morigan a wary look. "And I shot you. Well me and another of my Rats. And as for why, you can see for yourself in the Infirmary. I'd have a good look at your sister if you go. She got hit bad."

Morrigan paled. "Oh gods...." she whispered. "What...what did... ********, what did I do..."
She rushed into the room where the others were kept, and her jaw literally dropped to the ground.
"That's right..." Eara shouted, "I'm stuck here for 18 weeks, so you better be bloody kissing my a**!"
She couldn't even say anything in response. "Eara..." she barely choked out, "I... I... I did... no.. no way, I couldn't..."
She looked like she was going to cry, which was nothing simple to pull off. Morrigan hardly ever cried or got worried until it came to family...
She held her hands over her mouth. "I'm so sorry..." she shook her head. "I...I can't believe it..."
"Oh, believe it." Eara snapped. "You threw me out the window once, and when I tossed Fir the gun you tried to bloody kill me!"
Morrigan's memories were starting to flood back, however. "Oh... oh my goddess..." she blanched, steadying herself on the wall. "Kazuhiko. Kazuhiko's still on Tarnbsei... He.. his teleporting..."
She leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to sit, trying to absorb everything. "Oh....oh no..."
Eara frowned. "What do you mean??"
"K...Kazu-kun..." Morrigan spoke, tears running down her face. "Aled... he threatened him... he can teleport now." she whispered. "Kazuhiko gave the power to protect me...Oh gods, what have I done..."
Eara suddenly felt terrible, but the panic in her eyes wasn't only for her family.
It was for her bigger family, too. "He can teleport... F#ck, that means he can find us, can't he?!"
