Arabella sat in the waiting area while they worked on her brother. She wasnt fully aware of where she was. She sat on the seat someone sat her on and stared straight ahead. Alec's blood was all over her. Her shirt, shorts, hands, some had even got on her face. She didnt even notice she was barefooted.

All she could see in her head was Alec gasping for breath and making those horrible sounds like he was choking. She closed her eyes and tried to block it out. Who could do this? Her hands where at her sides limply but she moved her fingers on her one hand to the different chords for Beethoven's suite no. 9.

Alec had to be alright. He had to. She wouldnt make it by herself. She knew she should call someone. Her sisters? Jonathan? She had no phone. Opened her eyes again and continued to stare straight ahead.

Chris arrived a few minutes after the ambulance did and found himself a parking spot then headed inside through to the emergency room waiting area. He didn't know the people at all and, from a logic standpoint, shouldn't have followed them there and left them to their own devices but he couldn't help feeling a bit responsible for not doing something sooner. The more he thought about it, though, he realized that by the time he showed up, there really wasn't anything he could have done to change the outcome. Alec was already seriously injured and he'd have to keep in mind that he had done some good in stopping the bleeding enough for him to survive - if he survived.

Walking through the doors, still blood covered, he looked around briefly at some of the people sitting in the room; all of the occupants looked at him noting the blood all over him save for one. The young man recognized her from before. The blood on her clothes only added to the recognition and he looked down at the floor for a moment before moving over to a chair a few feet from her.

"Hey..." was all he could say as he took a seat and looked over at her curious about what might be going through her head; he wondered if it was guilt like what was going through his own or if it was thoughts of revenge.

Arabella jumped when he sat down and spoke. Her hand still subtly still moved to  the different cords of her favorite song. It was her way of dealing with stress and there was plenty of it. "My parents were murdered a couple of months ago...my brother was there when my dad was killed. They were both royal mounted police in london. Im from london. Im arabella." 


She blurted out the sentences awkwardly like she aasnt entirely sure of what she was saying." They havent said how he is. They havent told me anything. I need my brother. I have three sisters but we arent close at all. I dont even know how to contact them. I-i didnt do anything to this beast girl. She attacked me a couple weeks ago and my- aramis saved me from her. She seemed pissed. Said id pay. Said all of us evolution were going down. I didnt think she'd-" Her sweet british voice was shaky until reality seemed to hit her then she burst into tears. The tears ran rivers through the blood on her face.

Sean stepped through the front entrance of the hospital with a phone pressed against his ear, talking into it about something to do with the MRD or something along those lines. He was dressed in typical work attire, walking through the waiting room when he noticed a familiar face. It was a certain young female mutant, but covered in blood, which caught him off guard for a moment. ”Alright, I think i've found them.” Sean noted into his phone before hanging it up and approaching the blood covered female.


”Ara, what the hell happened?” Sean asked with a worried tone as he didn't notice the other male for a second, then taking notice of him and raising a brow. He was as bloody as she was, but then again maybe he was covered in the same blood as she was. Arabella was crying, so something had happened involving the blood that also was the cause of this. It was a real mess, but then again it could have been worst, or it could not have been.

Ara jumped up when she heard sean's voice. She had never been so relieved to see someone. Sean was the first best friend she ever had and she hadnt seen him since she moved. She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly around the neck as she sobbed into the armor on his chest. She had to stand on her bare tiptoes to reach him. "Its alec. The wolf came back like she said she would. She tore up his throat really bad. They wont tell me anything. I-if he d-dies..."

The female wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled Sean into a tight hug, crying against his armor. Sean sighed, and patted her on the back as she explained what had happened, and why she was covered in so much blood. She had spoken about a wold before, and Sean felt like he would have to deal with the damn girl one day, but he did not imagine it would be so soon. ”Damn, should have taken care of her sooner.” Sean muttered. Looking to the male sitting beside her with the blood all over him, he raised an eyebrow. ”So, whos this?”

She was still crying but she let go and took a step back. Now that some of the shock was wearing off her skinned knees were starting to hurt. She sniffled and shrugged. "I dont know him. He was there when alec got hurt. He saved him like he was a doctor or something. Alec was loosing so much blood and he couldnt talk."


She looked down at herself self conciously and sniffled more." You dont by chance have something i can change into do you?"

Chris listened as the girl went on about her parents, a look of sadness on his face. His own family had disowned him, but even after all of that he still loved them and would feel awful if anything happened to them. If not for his brother, he would have likely already been locked away by the MRD; his brother had some pull in the military and still cared for his brother, though he'd never say it out loud. It didn't take a genius for him to know someone was protecting him and it wasn't his father.

When she spoke of the mutant that had attacked her brother, he leaned in a bit listening intently and nodded feeling more guilt when she cried, "Hey... he's going to be okay. I have to ask: do you-" just as he was about to ask for the name of the shifting mutant, another guy walked into the room and took the attention of Alec's sister. They obviously knew one another by how she reacted to him and Chris just sat back and let them talk. He was a stranger to them both, after all, and for all they knew he was a mere human. He intended to keep it that way for the time being seeing no reason for any of them to know he could cast lethal bolts of electricity from his hands simply by willing it to happen. Especially given the man had the look, tone and stance of MRD written all over him and he didn't want to risk an incident unless absolutely necessary. Either that or the Army was allowing their people to walk around in combat gear. Anything was possible.

"Not a doctor, just umm... well, I'm just glad I was able to help. I hope it made a difference." He didn't want to go into telling them about his military past and how combat training and personal experience had been the reason for him knowing what to do with Alec. Frankly, it wasn't their business, and added to that, that was part of his life that he didn't want to remember and would just as soon forget but, unfortunately, it was thanks to the war that he found out what he was and what he was capable of.

He came to his feet and looked down at his hands briefly, "I'm going to go wash up and get some coffee... you two want anything?"

”Well that explains the report.” Sean muttered with a frown, considering that with the sound of the injury the male would be in dire condition if he did not die, since injuries to the neck were typically not a good thing. He felt himself shudder slightly at the mental image of torn flesh, gushing blood and muscle, but then again he had seen worst within his time;causing a dull burning sensation to course through his lower back. A momento from mommy dearest it would seem. The male said that he had helped, which put him in his good book, or atleast his impression of the male was better than it could have been in this circumstance.

”Well, thank you for the help.” Sean noted with a nod, considering the male and how much experience one would need to be able to help with a dire situation like a neck injury, and he was finding himself formulating a way that he would kill the one responsible for this. True he was not overly aquainted with the male known as her brother, but she did care about him, and no one messed with his friends. Anyone, mutant or human would learn that he was not the type to deal with that stuff lightly. Still, he would keep himself calm and only his silver eyes would betray his murderous thoughts brewing.

”Coffee would be wonderful, if you don't mind.” Sean said to the male, before taking himself a seat beside the female.

"T-tea if you dont mind. I dont much care for the taste of coffee." She hugged her knees and laid her head on sean's arm. Most mutants would think she was crazy for being friends with an MRD agent. She knew he was a good man and didnt abuse his power. She trusted him with her life as much as she trusted alec. Even for a human she knew he was a safe place. 


"And if they have something i can change into that would be most appreciated."

The situation was bad, but Chris knew that keeping a clear head was important in such situations, even when it seemed near impossible to accomplish. He found that coffee was a cure for his own stresses and could do likewise for others which was why he offered. He still didn't trust the armored guy; he'd seen MRD do terrible things to his kind and he hadn't done anything to earn his trust, but the girl seemed to trust him and that said something. Still, in his own skepticism, he felt that it could all just be a lie in order to earn her trust and then snatch her up and take her off to a holding area to be poked and prodded.

"I couldn't just leave him there. I'm just glad I was there when I was." Rather than focus on his thoughts, he nodded at the man when he agreed to have a cup of coffee then to the girl when she requested tea. Two coffees and a tea wouldn't be a difficult task but he had to get to a bathroom and get his hands and arms clean before walking around the hospital openly. Chris didn't like the stares he was already getting let alone those he'd get in the cafeteria.

Just as he was about to turn and go about his plans, he stopped hearing the girl mention something to change into. The young man nodded affirmatively, feeling he could get a set of scrubs if nothing else. If anything, it would be better than the blood-soaked clothes she was in. "A coffee, tea, and something to change into - no problem. I'll be back shortly." He turned and left the waiting room, heading for the bathroom to wash up, wanting to get the blood off of him as soon as possible.

Sean let his eyes follow the male for a moment as he would go off to do whatever it was that he was doing, taking notice of the female leaning against him and not finding himself bothered by it. Something about the male was strange, but then again anyone that was covered in blood could appear strange, so maybe he was over thinking this by a little. So instead he would worry about the female that still seemed to be racked by some kind of worry over her possibly dying sibling. With a sigh, Sean looked to the person with their head on his shoulder and patted them on the shoulder softly.

"I was playing my damned cello again. While my brother was being attacked i was playing my cello. If he dies it will be my fault in more way than one." More than anything she wished they would come out and tell her he was okay. That alec didnt hate her forever and blame her kind for attacking him. She blamed herself for all of this. It should be her in there not him.

Chris went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror at himself. Everywhere from just above his waistline to above his knees as well as his hands and lower forearms were covered in dried blood from Alec. His expression was calm despite the situation and he stared hard into his own eyes looking for a glimpse of anything that would remind him of who he used to be, yet nothing shown through. He had gotten numb to the deaths and pain of others around him after the war and watching his own best friend murdered. It didn't mean he didn't feel something, but showing it wasn't in his nature anymore and it was more like a mundane job; he experienced it and moved on wiser than before.

Finally, he ran the water into the sink and lathered his arms up with soap scrubbing for what seemed like forever while the water in the sink turned pink with the blood. After a few moments, he was satisfied with the cleaning and the only blood that remained was the bit that had dried beneath his nails which he'd have to get to later. Once he'd dried his hands, he made his way to the cafeteria to get two cups of coffee and a tea as he'd said he would before stopping a nurse and explaining the need for scrubs for the girl to change into. While the nurse wasn't willing at first, he persisted and she finally relented into retrieving a set for him.

The young man returned to the waiting room, the scrubs draped over one arm and the tea and coffees in his hands. "A tea, coffee, and some clothes - sorry it's not fashionable, but it will do temporarily I'd say. It's a hospital, after all. They don't have a wide selection."

"Its perfect. Thank you. Sean...ill be right back. Let me know if they say anything about alec." Arabella took the scrubs and went to the bathroom to change. For the first few moments she stared at herself in the mirror. All of the blood. It was was too much for her. She started to cry. She cried as she washed herself up. She wasnt ready to loose her brother.


She cleaned up as best as she could then walked back out to the waiting area and back to the boys.Her bloody yoyo ma shirt was clutched in her hand. The pants were rolled up since they were a little long. She was clean at least. Her hair hung loose over her shoulders. She looked at both of them and couldnt muster a smile no matter how hard she tried.

So came the whole blaming ones self thing, even though there was no way she would have let her brother get hurt like that. However before he really had any chance to say anything, the male returned with the coffee, tea and something for her to change into, and the coffee was something that he could really get behind. Mostly due to work kicking his ass as of late, mostly because of the large amount of paper work that had been coming his way, rather than just the typical field work. Not that he didn't mind the lack of field work, as that would mean less physical work on his end.

Taking one of the cups of coffee, Sean sipped on it and sighed contently. It was nice to have a little caffeine in his body, sending jolts through his body and chasing away the small threads of fatigue from his body. It was a temporary fix, but he knew he would have to do the whole report thing later, shapeshifter attacking a person and all of that good stuff. Messy stuff really, but then again sometimes things ended up messy. While he could have made conversation with the male, he just didn't feel comfortable enough to do so.


Arabella returned eventually in the scrubs, though they looked a little too large for her, but then again she had only asked for something to change into. Looking to her with a raised brow, he patted the seat beside him and took another sip from his coffee. ”haven't heard anything yet. ”

Chris allowed the man to take a coffee and glanced at the girl when she went off to change before taking a seat, sitting the tea down for her when she returned and taking a sip of the hot liquid in his own cup. It felt good to finally sit down since he hadn't really sat since getting out of his truck to investigate the attack. There was the ride to the hospital, but with his mind racing on the way there, he didn't consider it very restful at all. The coffee was hot, but refreshing even though it was strong enough to get up and walk on its own; all in all, he'd gotten used to strong coffee when he was in the military so the bitterness didn't bother him so much but it could have used a tad of cream.

When the girl returned, she appeared cleaner than even Chris but not mentally at ease though the young man couldn't blame her given what had just happened to her brother. He sat in thought about the mutant and what he could do to rectify his own shortcomings in regards to the situation. Though he'd helped them after the fact, he could have done something to take her down to ensure she didn't return to finish the job and given the look he'd seen on the MRD guy's face, he was thinking about the same thing.
He reached over to the tea and picked it up before offering it over to her, "Here's your tea."

Ara sipped at what the americans called tea. It wasnt anything like home but it was hot and playing with the teabag distracted her from what was going on. Why did she target alec? How did she even know about him. Why did this new guy hate sean so much. She could sense the tension. 

She felt like she was alone with these guys and her thoughts forever when the doctor finally came out to let her know forthe most part alec was ok. They didnt know when he would wake up but they did stop his jugular from bleeding out a d repaired his vocal chords as best they could. When the doctor was done explaining all he did he let them know they could see alec very soon. Ara squeezed sean's hand at the news. At least he was alive even if the doctor wants him on vocal rest till he healed.

Everyone had their drinks, and that would suffice for now, Sean sipping on his coffee and enjoying the feel of the caffeine energizing him. Despite the tension that was barely palpable, he did not really focus too much attention upon the male, and instead would continue to nurse down the drink given to him. He could feel the pressure placed upon his hand, likely at the news that her brother would be alright. Squeezing the females hand in return, he sipped on his coffee once again and sighed, small curls of steam rising from his drink.

Ara rose while still clutching the tea in her hand. Her legs felt a little shaky and she felt like an idiot for feeling like that. He was going to be okay. Her feet made soft patter noises as she followed the doctor. She made it to the doors to the icu and looked back at the guys. "You guys can come with me if you want. Im sure hed love to thank you both." Secretly she didnt want to go alone.

Chris sat silently, sipping his coffee and was relieved to hear that Alec was going to recover. The young man didn't want an innocent human's blood on his hands added to the blood from those that he had already killed; the only difference being that Alec didn't deserve death and those he killed deserved it more than anyone he could think of. He sipped more coffee as the girl followed the doctor to likely check in on her brother.

When she asked if he wanted to go with her, he had a mental debate of why he shouldn't. None of them knew him and, though he had been the one stopping the bleeding, he didn't seek reward or thanks for doing the right thing at the time. He simply shook his head turning down the offer then glanced at the girl's friend. "I'll stay here. You can go with her."

Alec was propped up in bed with bandages on his neck and random stitches on his face and arms. For a human he was strong to survive a fight with the wolf girl. 

He remembered pain then nothing. For a while he thought he died. He thought he remebered ari screaming but it seemed like a distant memory. Like it didnt happen. Maybe it didnt. Maybe he was dreaming.

He was beginning to wake up and the pain hit him hard. He groaned but no noise came out. He started to opened his eyes and the light made him close them again. He attempted to move and the pain made him give up that idea. It all really happened. Which meant ari was really in danger.

Arabella gasped when she saw her brother. He looked horrible. She had never seen him look this bad. Ever. Even after the time he was shot on duty. She looked back at sean like she was going to cry then went quickly to alec. He seemed really out of it.

She held his big hand in both of hers. "Alec im here. It  ok. Dont try to talk. You were hurt pretty bad. You are in the hospital. Sean is with me. The guy that saved you is out in the waiting area. Dammit you scared me. Im so relieved you are okay."

Alec tried to clear his throat but it hurt. He used his free hand to feel his neck and felt bandages. It was all still slowly coming back to him. His vision was clearing more and more. He wiped the tear off of ara's cheek and made a sad to face. He was really sorry she was upset. 

He was really sore now as he was coming back from reality. He didnt realize its so hard to express yourself without words. He nodded to sean. His sister's best friend,protector, and mrd. He still trusted sean with her life. 

He winced as he grabbed a small dry erase board off of the bedside table. A nurse must have left it earlier. He wrote on it and held it up for sean. "It was wolf. She said she was coming for ari. Keep her safe. She cant go back to mansion."

Chris sat in the waiting room for some time before finally feeling that the least he could do was at least see that the man he helped save was okay with his own eyes. While he'd heard that he'd recover from the doctor, it never hurt to see it for himself and he came to his feet and pulled his coat closed to hide some of the blood on his shirt as he made his way into the ICU.

Once through the doors, he looked in each room he passed until finally finding the one he was looking for and pushing the door open, knocking as he came in. His eyes found the man in the bed first, happy to see him conscious then to the girl. He nodded at her then stepped inside. "I just wanted to say that I'm glad you're okay and... um... I hope that you guys will be okay." He didn't like what he said, but couldn't take the words back. They didn't make a whole lot of sense in his head, but he felt he had to say what was on his mind.
