A Medical Facility, Manaan, Monday Fandom Time

"I can't believe he actually has friends," Mira muttered. "I mean, I know some of you saw one, but I'm still pretty sure that was just a vivid hallucination."

Mical plucked the comlink out of her hands. "He does," he said, "and I have just notified them of his present state. It is a shame we couldn't recover this earlier; I can only imagine they have been worried."

Mira rolled her eyes at him.

"... all right, he is overly abrasive," Mical allowed. "But he took a beating because we could not exercise patience." He looked up towards the kolto tank that still held Atton's now largely-healed body. Unfortunately, they had not been in time, and some of the scars that loomed large across the man's torso and arms were... ugly.

At least they had been received well here in Ahto City. It made things easier - and gave them a chance to consider the future.

"They're planning to take him out in about ten minutes," Mira said, hopping off the cabinet she'd been sitting on. "Do you wanna be here when he gets out? Because I don't. Someone's going to have to tell him about Meetra."

"True," Mical said. "Perhaps we'll be lucky and he will take it with grace..."

"I wouldn't count on it," she said, strolling past him and out of the room.

He blew out a sigh and turned back towards the tank. "I suppose I will be here, then..."

Anakin stood by the tank, trying to distract himself with the ancient tech (as he was still a snob about that), instead of focusing on the number of scars a kid that young had managed to rack up.

He wasn't worried. Shush.

Cade hated medical bays. Hated. He hated the smell, he hated the quiet, he hated everything about the sterile cleanness.

He wrapped his arms around himself, found a corner to push himself into where he could watch as many of the exits as possible and waited for Atton.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck," Sparkle was murmuring under his breath as he watched the tank drain. Yeah, Atton was not looking too great. Sparkle was trying to figure out if this was better or worse than that one night in the warehouse.

Better, he settled on, based on the fact that they were in the process of getting him out of that thing and waking him up.

Even so.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck..."
myownface: (Ah.)

Sparkle wasn't even going to bother with words. Sparkle had been thinking of the important shit on his way out the door to get his ass here, and he'd packed the essentials.

Well. He'd packed one bottle of Fireball whiskey. Which he was silently offering to Cade now.

Nothing about this was familiar or even vaguely comfortable to Sparkle, and under any other circumstances, he would probably be worrying more about his surroundings than he was. But here and now? Well, fuck, he'd spent the last week almost positive that Atton was dead, and here he wasn't, and Sparks was far more invested in pacing back and forth and waiting to talk to the guy (or hug him, or punch him, or cry on him, Sparkle hadn't decided which yet) than he was in worrying about all of this creepy-looking space hospital stuff.

So, yep. Pacing. Anxiously.

That... did not actually make Sparkle feel much better, no.

"How bad was the worst?"

Where he was sitting, the worst was looking pretty not great.

"I drank all of his other stuff," Cade said with a tiny, tiny smile as he accepted the bottle. "Tough poodoo for him."
myownface: (Yeah Sure)

Well, at least Atton knew how to stop Sparkle's anxious pacing in a pinch. Sparkle looked his way, seemed to take a moment to kind of process that he'd been spoken to, and then he was launching himself in Atton's direction.

... At least he also had the presence of mind to not just straight-up tackle him, here. But he was sure as hell going in for the hug.

"Scared the fucking shit out of me, asshole."

"Ask Sparks," Cade said with a grin he couldn't hold in. "He came prepared. You look like poodoo."

"He had it coming," Sparkle declared, crouching down beside Cade. "He can't leave messages like the ones he left for me and then expect to come back to his booze stash, you know? Not going to happen."

"I did a quick appendage check already," Anakin admitted. "It's only prudent when you're fighting with lightsabers. Did anyone use Force lightning?"

Because that stuff hurt like a bitch.

"He told me to drink it," Cade said. "Wasn't gonna say no to that. Not with that kind of asshole message."
myownface: (Completely Impressed.)

Sparkle made a face that suggested that he was realizing that he probably didn't actually want to know, after all.

"Ah. Shit." He swallowed, and then shook his head. "But, like, everything is all attached, right? He's not gonna get out of there and walk around for a bit and then realize he's been missing his spleen or something, oops?"

"Teach you to get into a stoopa...whatever the kark you did," Cade said, glaring. "Your message wasn't exactly heavy on detail."
myownface: (Yeah Sure)

Re: Afterwards

[personal profile] myownface 2014-07-21 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wait, he told you to drink his stash? Damn, he just told me not to be an idiot."

And so Sparkle had burned through what little alcohol he'd had on hand at the time, and then had screamed his throat raw trying to force Atton into answering the phone with the power of his voice alone.
