Remarque would never get used to teleporting. It had to be something to do with the fact that it was out of his control, and it made his stomach flop every time. But he didn't have time to gripe about that.
They were out of the factory, and though it took a few seconds, he at least recognized that Benitoite had brought them closer to the city. They were in an alleyway, and there were several around. Which meant that there were many dark corners to hide in, to power down, and to make sure that Avior would get the medical attention he needed.
Quickly, after they were on solid ground, Remarque retracted himself from Benitoite and pulled Avior closer. He took one look at the senshi and then at the other two.
"Thanks," he said, though the word was hasty and insincere. He had too much on his mind to properly express gratitude, and only a second after he'd spoken, he was turning away. "I need to get him to the hospital," he said, though knew he didn't have to explain. "…I'll be back, if you're waiting around."
The way he spoke made it clear that such a thing was not up for debate; Remarque had made up his mind and lifted Avior so he could carry him easier. He did not wait for a response or further conversation; as far as he was concerned, he was gone. And if Benitoite and Acrucis wanted to stick around?
He'd be back.
But right now, he had his Court to worry about, and Avior just wasn't looking good.
He took long, hasty strides and disappeared from sight only a few seconds later. His aura was gone shortly after.

Benitoite had never teleported so many people, he'd never had reason to, so when they landed the drain on his energy hit him like a freight train. The light headed feeling and the sleepy feeling which took hold of him was strong, persistent even, as he listened to Remarque he nodded his head in a lazy manner. He might be tired, and not all there, but he did catch the tone in the others voice. He wasn't to leave, Remarque wanted to talk to him, so he would stay and wait.
Watching the other leave with the other dark mirror senshi the pale blond turned his attention the the senshi of prayer. "Your alright?" He questioned, even as he leaned back against the brick wall of the alley way they were in.
"If you want you can head home - be swift and safe about it." He spoke offering her the out. The conversation which would happen between himself and Remarque, and he knew it would happen, could potentially be long and deep. He had no idea what to expect from his friend, aside from lots of questions, but he knew if it were him in the other blonds positions there would be ranting and raving as well as questions; lots of questions. Glancing about, waiting for the others return, he kept his senses alert as he let his legs give out from under him and leaned heavily on the wall behind him. His head tipped back and slate hued eyes slipped closed; he trusted the senshi to not attack him. If this were some other senshi, or even a knight, he would not be so trusting as to all but bare his neck.
What on earth had just happened a little while ago and why? While Remarque had questions for the general it wasn't as though said General didn't have his own questions for the other. Tonight would be a n evening filled with questions about what had just taken place; there was much to discover he had a feeling.
Opening his eyes he tilted his head down and focused on the senshi, watching her silently for some moments. "Are you going to stay? The conversation is likely to be long." Very long and she might become tired of listening to them both.

Dizzy… So dizzy. Teleporting twice in one day; no good. The sensation left in it’s wake was similar to an elevator stopping abrubtly at a specified floor only to bounce up and down a bit. It felt as if she was standing on ‘unsteady ground’, that should she so much as take a step forward she would fall sideways. Disorienting to say the least which is why Acrucis closed her eyes and held onto Benitoite for a moment longer till she got her bearings together again. By the sound of Remarque’s voice, the Senshi of Prayer opened her eyes and looked his way. It was then she noticed the actual condition of the eternal he had cradled so carefully in his arms. Words spoken fell upon deaf ears as she stared unblinking at the unconscious boy. Blood, so much blood just like before… with Thraen and the student.There was nothing she could have done then, She had been too late, but now? Acrucis bit down on her lip; so much of his condition reminded her of the Senshi of Gardens, the day she found him semi-conscious at the safe house. Blood everywhere, covered in bruises and supporting deep lacerations across his face and back; images that came back in full force. Where she had been unable to do anything about the unnamed boy, she had been somewhat successful in tending to Quenton. The whole point in coming with Benitoite was to help the Dark Mirror Senshi was it not? To help save people, right? Yet all she’s done so far was watch as a starseed got ripped from a senshi’s chest and bear witness to another near catastrophic altercation between her general and an order knight. She should be using her renews on this boy, not staring idly wondering what to do or reminiscent to events of the past I have to try… I have toSwallowing the lump in her throat, Acrucis drew in a deep breath and reached out towards Remarque with one hand as means to halt his retreat only to be left helpless, watching as his multi-colored overlay fabric flitted through her fingers as if it was nothing more than a whisper of the wind. Unable to find the words to offer her assistance before he took the boy to the hospital, the Senshi of prayer remained rooted where she stood till not only he, but their signature as a whole, disappeared. It was by the sound of Benitoites voice that Acrucis was pulled from her slight daze home? No, she couldn’t go home yet he said he’d be back right? At the very least she needed to know the boy was alright. Shaking her head as a silent reply, the periwinkle haired girl turned around just to see Benitoite slump against the wall behind him eliciting from her a small gasp. No! Benitoite…Kneeling down before her general she looked upon him with a look of worry. Eyebrows furrowed, Acrucis reached forward causing her bracelets to jingle softly and carefully brushed his bangs out of his face I’m going to stay for now at least… Normally she would have asked at this point for permission to use her renew on someone but she had a feeling he may be stubborn and not allow it. Though she couldn’t see any physical, grevious wounds, she did know that a knight had earlier dropped several feet from above, landing on him hard enough to bring Benitoite down. Without much thought Acrucis went through the motions of her renew, whispering the name aloud and gently touched his cheek. There were things she wanted to ask, questions with regards to that seed he had taken. But now was not the time. Later… she’d ask later…

Remarque had not spent any more time than he needed to inside the hospital; he didn't want to be around to answer any of their questions. He didn't have a story prepared—and wasn't about to make one up without knowing Nischal would be able to back it up. He had made some flustered excuse and then left while the nurses frantically hurried about. He should have left his phone number and name so they could have contacted him if there was any new information, but he didn't want this to be traced back to Jett Draven.
Not yet, at least.
When Avior was at the hospital, Remarque took a moment extra for himself to catch his breath and power up again.
Immediately, he felt Benitoite's and Acrucis' energy signatures and made his way towards them. He was not in a very good mood and wanted to go see how the rest of his Court was, but he needed answers, first.
Now that his adrenaline had faded, he had become more aware of his soreness; it had been more obvious when he had been unpowered, but even powering up did not mask the pain—or bruises—he was starting to sport. He rubbed at his neck absentmindedly, testing how badly the area had been bruised as he made his way back to the two who had been waiting in the alleyway.
He did not initially look at Acrucis, instead focusing all his attention on Benitoite. "What the hell was that?" he demanded; there was anger in his voice, but it wasn't directed to Benitoite.
Benitoite had fought alongside the Dark Mirror Senshi—fought to protect them, and get them out safely.
But Benitoite was also of the Negaverse, and Remarque was deeply unsettled by the events that had transpired that evening. "—Did you hear anything about it? Who was behind that, whose idea was that?" Sleet Tempest Snape GUYS I'M SO SORRY, I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS MY POST AND THEN LOST THE LINK AFTER I FOUND OUT ;;

The aches and pains from that knight had been ignored, or rather just unnoticed till now, the real issue had been the energy drain on him. It wasn't until the senshi dropped down at his side and used her magic that he even registered the pain from that knight and his abrupt arrival, via landing right on him, it was as the pain eased that he felt his lips curl into a gentle smile and eyes the color of storm clouds, that blue gray hue, focused on her.
"Thanks, I'll be ok. Teleporting just takes energy from me. Teleporting several people took a lot; which I did expect." However, he was willing to give up the energy in order to get people out and to safety. He had been willing to even take another. He'd have taken even more, as many as he could manage, in order to help. But he'd needed to be quick about it. He hoped no one had gotten left behind. Biting his lip he shook his head gently.
"I'd do it again; give up that much energy to see you all out and to safety." He spoke honestly. "I said I would keep you safe." And he had and he had kept a friend safe as well. He would keep his friends, and those close to him, safe whenever and however he could. He knew he would fail at times, no one was perfect, and there were things beyond his power and control but he would still try and do his best. These people, those he held close, were like a second family - one of his choosing.
It was when he felt Remarque's familiar signature that he looked up and smiled at the sight of him. "I cannot answer as I don't know. I wish I knew. I didn't know anything was happening until you told me when we ran into each other. I heard not even a whisper of anything like this happening. I wish I had answers, for the both of us." Pushing himself to standing he wondered if he should consume the starseed he had stolen, he could do so easily, or if he should suffer the energy drain till he could find a civilian to take some energy from. He didn't like feeling like this; weak. It bothered him.
"Had I known about these plans I'd have warned you so you could have told your court. I side with chaos...be that the Negaverse, corrupted senshi, or dark mirror senshi. We all are chaos and while our goals and methods are different we all feel similar enough that I don't consider us as different as some do." His words while tired were sincere and honest, as was the smile he gave the other blond. "You'll let me know how your court is, after you've checked on them?" He asked gently, concerned for them and curious on how they had made out in this.
