Hellhounds. Right.

What?

Cissie, Jubilee, Martha, Elizabeth, you guys okay?

Uh, is the infirmary flooded?

[Private to Sylar]

Stay in your room till they're completely gone, okay? One clawed up my arm while I was out there.

... Dude what are you talkin' about? Why wouldn't I be fine?

[peektuttut]

Uh, did you miss the warnings? They're dangerous. I'm just checking in.

[fireworkbubbles.livejournal.com]

Warnings? Dunno what you're talkin' about, Tim. You okay?

[cisskabob]

I'm fine. Got bumped around a little, but I'm okay. Are you?

[peektuttut]

Did your journal break? There's been a bunch of talk about the hellhounds.

[peektuttut]

My arm's a little banged up, but otherwise I'm fine. Got out of the way quick enough. [He was trying to be heroic, it failed.]

[fireworkbubbles.livejournal.com]

Oh. Huh. Didn't see it. Left my cell in my room and went and worked out last night. Couldn't sleep. You get hurt?

[peektuttut]

I'll be fine.

[cisskabob]

[Of course he was.] How banged up is a little banged up? Do you need anything?

[peektuttut]

No, I stopped the bleeding. I'll get some proper bandages from the infirmary later, if they aren't inundated with patients.

[fireworkbubbles.livejournal.com]

[She knows that phrase.]

... Never said you wouldn't. That wasn't my question. Did you get hurt?

[peektuttut]

[They are fluent in the unspoken.]

My arm's banged up, but it's no big deal.

[fireworkbubbles.livejournal.com]

I can help, if you want to avoid the infirmary. Standard X-Men equipment comes with a fully stocked medical kit. No drugs, obviously, but got most everything else.

[They learned it at a young age.]

[cisskabob]

Good. ...For future reference, you do remember I have some medic training, right? I know you can handle most things, but--just saying.

[peektuttut]

[Kind of an important lesson.]

Don't worry about it, I've got the bleeding stopped, and I'll head to the infirmary for some proper bandages soon. But thanks; good to know there's a kit around.

[peektuttut]

I remember. I've been used to taking care of things alone.

Anyway, my room was closer.

[fireworkbubbles.livejournal.com]

[Especially with Bruce and Logan.]

Hey, Wolvie might have a healing factor, but I don't! And neither do you. Be sure you go, or I'll come snuggle you until you do.

[THREATS OF LOVE]

[peektuttut]

[They love even though they don't say it.]

...Understood. [THESE THREATS WORK.]

Private

[grayatonement]

Of course. Why would I be given the chance to help when I could hide? Oh yes, because my warden doesn't understand..

[amissbennet.livejournal.com]

I am fine. Thank you, sir. I trust you are in good health as well?

Private

[peektuttut]

If you want to play middle school politics, fine, but do it safely. I went out to help and fucked up my arm, so if it's not too much trouble, a 'hey, thanks for the heads up' would be nice.

[peektuttut]

Yeah, I'll be fine, thanks. Glad you're okay.

Private

[grayatonement]

Hey, thanks for the heads up.

I was thinking more along the lines of you giving my abilities and letting me help you.

Private

[peektuttut]

Gee, you're welcome Sylar.

I'm not having this argument with you biweekly. What are you going to do with the abilities if I give you all of them back? Should we have training sessions in the gym? Talk about what's right and what's wrong? Maybe then we can actually talk about whatever it is that makes you kill people so you can amass your collection.

Private - i heart tim.

[grayatonement]

This is different. You need help and I can provide it. Do you hate me that much that you wouldn't let me try to help?

Yes. We have training sessions, talk. You help me learn to control them. If I took away your sight and you knew I could give it back, do you honestly think you would try to start living without it?
