Alex & Friends Part 18-Bad News 2
*smiling like a idiot*
cw: mentions of vomit, panic attack aftermath
Joseph wasn’t really prepared for what he saw when the bathroom door opened. Judging from the noises coming from behind the door, it wasn’t going to be pretty, but it was far worse than he anticipated.
Alex was crying, breaths fast and uneven, body quivering. Her eyes were red, tears still streaming down her face. The bathroom reeked of vomit, the pungent odor stabbing at his nostrils as he took in the scene.
“I’m sorry,” she rasped, voice quiet and shaky. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright,” He assured her, quickly closing the door behind him.
“I..I can’t do it again,” She wheezed, eyes wide with fear. “I can't.”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to,” He didn’t really know what she meant by that, but panic attacks weren’t renowned for being easily comprehensible. “Do you want something to drink?”
Alex nodded, but didn’t say anything. It seemed like she was only half present.
“Why don’t you have a seat on the toilet, okay?” He said as he dodged the vomit that was pooled in the sink and started to ll up a plastic cup.
She carefully lowered herself down, reaching a hand out behind her to steady herself. The bright lights of the bathroom made the bags under her eyes even more pronounced as he handed the cup to her. Her hands shook as she took the cup, water vibrating as she put it to her lips.
“There you go.” He leaned back against the wall opposite to the toilet to give her some space. “That better?”
She hummed in the affirmative, slowly drinking the water he’d given her. Her breaths were starting even out, and the flow of tears was finally slowing. “Thanks,” she whispered.
“No problem,” he said, shrugging his shoulders.
A beat of silence passed before she spoke again. “Well that fucking sucked.” She let out a half-hearted chuckle.
“I bet,” he nodded. The room still reeked of vomit, and her shirt had been stained in a couple of places by the offending liquid.
She gripped the counter for extra stability as she stood. “I’m gonna need a new shirt,” she said while she turned the water on to wash the vomit out of the sink.
“Where are your shirts? I can go and get you one.” He used his foot to push himself o the wall.
“They should be by everyone else’s stuff. Think the bags purple.” She said as she lathered her hands in soap.
Just before he turned to leave, he remembered something. “It’s okay if you want to wait a little longer, but I do need to change your bandages. Can I go get stuff for that?”
Alex seemed to lag for a second before responding, but her face remained still. “Yeah, that’d be fine.”
“I’ll be right back,” he said before he reached for the handle.
He was greeted by Eric standing directly in front of, arm raised as if he was about to knock. “Is she okay?”
“Yeah, why?” Joseph asked, a little confused.
“There's something you need to see.” Eric’s tone was filled with urgency.
Leaving the bathroom door open behind him, he quickly walked over to Teri’s computer. The rest of the team was clustered around it, but they moved to the side so he could see. Teri turned the volume up.
“If you’re just tuning in, convicted supervillain Albert Zorland has escaped. He, along with several henchmen, have barricaded themselves on a pier. They are holding a hero hostage, and are demanding that Olena Lepshev, who he claims to be an INSUPA operative, hand herself over, in return for the hero’s release.”
Zorland had captured a hero. Fuck.
The feed cut to a picture of the captured hero and Joseph's heart sank. The hero’s their whole body was covered with blood. Even with their face masked, Joseph knew exactly who it was.
Phoenix.

(Old art taken from my insta and da) my beloved OC Elm :)) I think about him often (and should really draw him way more)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1) probably the first proper image of him. This was before I knew what kind of weapons I wanted him to wield.
2) a doodle of when he lost his arm
3) a doodle of him in a duel or spar idk
4) a doodle of his cousin (sort of younger brother figure) coming to wake him the morning after a particularly bad night for elm
5) elm and his twin younger cousins (left to right: Eric, Elm, Atlas). Drawing was mostly to play around with outfit designs.
Elm is a half fey, his cousins are full fey.

The Official (Finale Part and Chapter)
Aquarius was making an exception by cleaning the Voorhees’ place up by dusting the rooms and replanting the vegetables in their garden. After she was done, she left a big gift-wrapped box for MJ on her and Jason’s bed. She left a note, saying “Do not let Jason see ;)”. Pennywise had no clue that Aquarius made MJ a replica of the wedding dress that MJ loved so much. That’s not important though.
Everything may be ready and prepared for the Voorhees’ arrival, they just hope that MJ and her family would approve, or else this whole wedding redo will be for nothing.
***
As Jason was just packing his and his girl’s things for home, MJ was trying to sleep a little longer until it’s time for them to go. When it is time to go, Jason gently woke MJ up. “It’s time to go now mom.” Malon said, after she saw her mom waking up. Because of her rough night the other night, she didn’t get very much of a goodnight sleep. MJ still refused to take a shower before leaving; since she was too disgusted from the other night. She wanted to go home and get a nice relaxing hot bath when they get back to their place; after hearing from the Grays that their home is ready for them to move back in.
MJ slept in the back seat while Malon sits in the front with her dad, which was a nice change. Jason checked on his wife from time to time by looking into the rearview mirror, to see if she’s doing alright.
When they made it back home, they were greeted by all of their slasher friends, including the Grays; Eric was at work so he couldn’t attend at the moment. Jason and MJ were shocked to see how beautiful the woods looked; all the flowers regrowing to replace the burnt trees and ashes, the leaves on the trees are growing in its place. MJ almost cried. “If I wasn’t so disgusting looking, I’d hug you all for you guys’ efforts.” MJ cried with happy tears. When Bubba heard her mentioning a hug, he squealed excitedly and rushed over to give MJ a bearhug, not caring what MJ said about being disgusting. “Alright Bubba, that’s enough, give her and her family some space.” Aquarius said. “Let’s give the Voorhees’ some time and peace for now to get settled, then we’ll tell them their surprise.” Aquarius added.
MJ didn’t fully comprehend on what Aquarius was saying, she just wanted to get washed up, especially to the fact that Bubba hasn’t bathe in who knows how long. Jason didn’t go inside, he wanted to know what was going on with everyone; so he turned to Pennywise for an explanation. Pennywise heard what Jason said in his mind, so he asked Aquarius, since it was mainly her idea. “Jason wanted to know what’s going on.” Pennywise explained to his wife. Aquarius smiled at Jason before she explains things to him. 
***
After MJ had her bath and is feeling more refreshed, she noticed Malon grooming Skippy on the floor, because he was so chubby, she gave him a pink ribbon to tie it on the top of its head. MJ giggled from the background as she was walking towards her and Jason’s room to get dressed into something comfortable. That is until she saw Aquarius on the bed with a gift-wrapped box. “Hello MJ... Sorry to have come in while you’re in your bathrobe, but I just wanted to explain to you what is going to happen today.” Aquarius explained. “Sweetie, whatever it is you’re planning for me and my family, we’re just too tired to do anything since the horrific event that we’ve been through.” MJ explained. Aquarius nodded and understands, but she’s still going to give her the box anyway. “Well, once you open this box, you’ll see what I was going to bring up; since the gift is like a hint.” Aquarius winked. MJ decided to accept her wishes and open the box. 
When she opened the box, she was shocked to see a wedding dress in a box; the kind that looked like the dress that she fell in love with. However, there’s something different about the dress. “I remember you’ve told me that you didn’t want to make you a dress to match the one that you loved, but I had a feeling in my gut that you still wished for that dress, so I bought the spaghetti-strapped dress cheap, and only bought the lace and silk thread. I hope that’s okay.” Aquarius explained. MJ was a little mad at first, but remembering back when she felt like a princess in the dress that she loved, made her tear up with bliss. So she hugged her friend for her effort and not giving up on her. “Thank you, Aquarius... But does Jason still want to marry me, after what we’ve been through?” MJ asked in concern. Aquarius smiled before resting her hand on her cheek for comfort. “He will love nothing more than to make you his wife... again.” Aquarius said with a little nose-boop. “Now... Let’s get your hair done up nicely.” Aquarius added.
***
Meanwhile, Pennywise was helping Jason get ready... Except, they both don’t know how to tie ties. “How could you not know how to tie ties?” Jason asked from his mind. “Now why would a space clown demon like myself would want to wear a tie? now you know why I’m a stubborn one when it comes to dressing fancy.” Pennywise explained. Just as Pennywise was getting close to getting the tie tied, he accidentally tied it too tight. Lucky for Jason that he doesn’t need oxygen to breathe, but he did flex his neck to break the tie lose. “Too tight, huh?” Pennywise asked in a sheepish smile. “When my wife is done with yours, I’ll have her to fix your tie, cool?” Pennywise asked. Jason couldn’t agree more with his suggestion. 
When Aquarius came to check on Jason, she was amazed by how built Jason is in a suit. “Jason, you look amazing!” Aquarius complimented. That is until Jason turned around and saw that Jason isn’t wearing a tie. “Having trouble with your tie Jay?” Aquarius asked. Jason nodded ‘yes’ as he passed the tie over to her. “I’m assuming that you wanted me to tie it for you?” Aquarius assumes. “If you don’t mind; from my experience, you’re the only women that can put a tie around the humans’ weak, breakable necks.” Pennywise said. Aquarius rolled her eyes before she ties the tie around Jason’s neck. “There you go... Lucky for you, you don’t have a son...” “Yet...” Pennywise chuckled, after hearing Aquarius’s statement. “He’s just kidding Jason; I don’t think you have the sperm for that anyway...” Aquarius said. Jason blushed bright red with embarrassment. “Jason just said--” “DON’T...” Jason snapped with force.
***
When everyone is ready for the wedding, the rest of the guest that came; who has forgotten about what has happened in the past twelve hours, came like as if they came only once. Pennywise informed the Voorhees how he and Papawise erased everyone’s memory from the last twelve hours, including Eric and Lily. However, that didn’t get Jason’s approval at all; Lily was finally warming up to Jason, but now that her memory has been erased, she’ll behave like he’s a monster... again. Of course, he’s not letting these attempts get to him, he just wanted to marry the one he loves.
Just as everyone was in their seats, Jason waits patiently for his bride to arrive. “You seem to be nervous there Jay, you look completely pale right there.” Pennywise teased. “Are you saying that to make me mad, or are you actually this ignorant? But yes, I am nervous; what if the women I’m marrying isn’t really MJ? like when she nearly married the wrong guy.” Jason admits in his head. Pennywise just chuckles before patting his back. “I knew that the incognito creep being you was oddly suspicious; I sensed that MJ is still her own self. Now shut up and don’t worry so much... your fear is too intoxicating for me to chew on.” Pennywise said.
Before Jason could respond, everyone was quiet after hearing the wedding music playing The Nature of Love. Jason watched as he sees Malon and Archie walking down the aisle doing their roles as the flower girl and the ring bearer. Jason couldn’t help but tear up by how adorable they looked. That is until he looked over from a distance.
Tumblr media
He thought he saw an angel that have fallen from heaven; he could not believe that it’s his wife, his best friend who became his lifelong lover.
Eric has insisted on walking MJ down the aisle, since her dad isn’t going to be there to give his daughter away; MJ thinks of Eric like an older brother, so she considers him as family. As they both made it to the end, MJ gave Eric a kiss by the cheek before accepting Jason’s hand.
***
MJ can see Jason tearing up with an adorable smile, that she couldn’t help but chuckle a little. “You look really handsome Jay; you look like a civilized human-being.” MJ complimented. Jason nodded with a smile before the priest starts the ceremony.
[skip to the ‘I dos’]
“Do you Jason, take MJ to be your lofted wedded wife, from forever to hold, until death do us part?” The priest asked Jason. Jason nodded before Pennywise makes a ‘translation’. “He said ‘I do’.” Pennywise translated. Then the priest turned towards MJ to ask her the same question. “And do you MJ, take Jason to be your lofted wedded husband, from forever to hold, until death do us part?” MJ made a tear fall from her eye, so Aquarius from behind gently dabbed the tear away, so that way she won’t smudge her mascara. “I do.” MJ finally answered.
When it is now to present the rings, Archie professionally stands and presents the rings while trembling with nervousness. When MJ and Jason finally got each other’s rings, Archie sighed in relief. “I did it...” Archie breathed, before Pennywise chuckled and patted his son’s back. “You did great kiddo, I’m proud of you.” Pennywise whispered. Then he heard the priest cleared his throat, as to remind Pennywise to do his translation. “He said, ‘with this ring, I will be wed’ as your husband...” Pennywise translated, as Jason slide the ring into her ring finger. Now it’s MJ’s turn to say the lines and give Jason the ring. “With this ring, I will be wed as your wife...” MJ said before sliding his ring into his ring finger; it took a while for her to even place it, since she’s not good at knowing her directions, but she got it on the right hand and finger.
Before the priest could ask about if there are any objections, Pennywise and Aquarius spoke up. “Forget about the objections!” They both say at the same time. “Oh-- Uh... Very well... Then may I now pronounce you: Man and Wife! You may kiss the bride--” Jason didn’t need to be told twice, because he right away grabbed hold of MJ and gave her a romantic dip kiss that anyone would ever expect. “YAY.” Malon cheered before she got shushed by Aquarius. Everyone laughed at Malon’s enthusiasm that they too cheered.
***
When the ceremony was finally over, it was time for the banquet. However, without the succulent pig, what will they eat? Jason was already ahead of the game, because he so happen to have bought two, just in case. Everyone cheered with excitement that they almost couldn’t wait. 
Tumblr media
While Jason and Eric cook the pig on the rotisserie, MJ decided that it’d be a good time to throw the bridal bouquet. “Get ready girls!” MJ yelled out before she throws it, facing away from the people. When MJ threw it, the women try to grab it but kept bouncing off their hands. That is until Aquarius caught it. “YES... I’m the next bride!” Aquarius yelled. Pennywise heard all that and decided to flee. “PENNY... YOU GET BACK HERE.” Aquarius yelled as she runs after him. “Go get him Star!” MJ called out while laughing. The guys can hear Pennywise screaming like a girl as he’s trying to get away from his crazy wife. Everyone laughed while watching the chase scene. “Can you imagine the ‘Yakety Sax’ music playing during that moment?” Justin asked Archie. “Oh yeah.” Archie laughed along with his pal.
***
Of course after a while, Aquarius stopped chasing her poor scared and tired husband and decided to join the rest of the group. MJ prepared snacks for everyone to hold the guest’s appetite until the banquet can officially begin.
When it’s finally time, Jason brought over the cooked pork and his special knives that he got from MJ for his birthday. Once everyone gets their meals, they seated themselves before hearing MJ’s speech. 
“I just wanted to say that if me and Jason, and of course Malon; can’t leave her out of it...” MJ said while carefully rubbing her daughter’s head. “If we never have met you guys or even befriended you; this wouldn’t be as much of a wedding. Also, I don’t want to express it in full detail, but without you guys, this wedding arrangement wouldn’t be possible, and me and Jason could never have a new brighter beginning. So I propose a toast, to all of you who are here, and a toast to those who are involved in a... technical event that we’ve been through... So... To friends!” MJ said as she raised her glass, with everyone else raising their glasses. 
MJ sat down to turn to Pennywise. “I would love to give my praises to you for your bravery on finding my Jason; the one and only Jason.” MJ said quietly so that no one will hear. “Please... Don’t go all cheesy on me... I ate a kid who had a serious obsession to Cheetos; just thinking about it made me feel all lactose in tolerant.” Pennywise honestly said. MJ chuckled awkwardly before patting Pennywise by the shoulder.
***
At last, it was time to see the cake that Eric’s co-worker and friend have made for their special occasion. Also, that beautiful cake topper that Eric’s friend have made. 
Tumblr media
MJ and Jason both gasped by the remarkable detail of the cake. “Oh my God... This is so beautiful... I don’t know how we can cut this!” MJ said as she was admiring the cake. As MJ takes out her camera, Jason blocked the guests from crowding while MJ tries to take a picture. “Perfect... Thank you Jay, you can let the people look now.” MJ said. “Just don’t get too close to it.” MJ warned.
Tumblr media
While the people looked at the cake and taking a picture of it, Jason noticed the topper. He faced Eric and pointed at the topper, as if asking: Where did you get this? “My friend makes figurines for a living, so I asked him to make a topper for you guy’s cake.” Eric explained. Jason smiled and hugged Eric gently. 
When Lily saw Jason hugging her step dad, she’s starting to feel less anxious around him, however, she’s not ready to get to know him yet.
After a long time of admiring the cake, it’s time for the bride and groom to cut a slice. Jason helped MJ handle the cutting knife as she cut a slice for her and him. When she put a slice on the plate, she dipped her finger into the icing and placed it on Jason’s nose. Pennywise laughed. “You just got ICED.” Pennywise laughed. MJ silently asked Jason if she could... Jason knew exactly what she was thinking. “Penny, I couldn’t quite hear you, mind come closer?” MJ asked. “Oh-- All I said is...” At that moment, MJ slapped the cake all over his face. Everyone laughed, including the ones who are a mute. “Okay, that’s real mature MJ, all grown up.” Pennywise said, being unamused. Aquarius turned Pennywise around to rub the cake off his face with her hands and gave him a kiss. “Mmm... You’re so sweet...” Aquarius cooed before she booped his nose. Some of the people giggled when they see Pennywise blushing bright red.
***
In all seriousness, MJ and Jason cut a slice for themselves to share before giving a slice to everyone who wanted a piece of cake. Everyone loved the cake; they thought it was going to be made out of a pound cake, but it’s made with chocolate fudge, coated with chocolate fudge icing, and then being iced and decorated with buttercream icing.
MJ and Jason have been feeding each other cake while smiling at each other. As they weren’t aware, the cake was already gone. “Mom, dad... you guys are just feeding each other air and crumbs.” Malon informed. MJ and Jason snapped themselves out after hearing their daughter’s voice and then noticed that their cake is gone. “Uhm... Maybe we’re feeding each other love...” MJ said while pretending to be embarrassed. 
***
After a while, they got the music playing so everyone can dance. Of course, not before Jason dances with his loving wife; he remembered that song that he and MJ danced to on their first dance; ‘The Story of my Life’. It reminds him of himself about his life, and how his life got better when he’s with the love of his life. When the song verse got softer, MJ clings her head against Jason’s chest and lets him move her around for a moment, while he rested his head against hers.
After they’re finished dancing, they get to relax and watch the other people have fun lingering, chatting, or dancing to the music. Malon and the rest of the kids had a great time; they were holding hands like as if they were playing crack-the-wind. 
Jason wanted to take MJ over to the docks at a certain time so she can watch the most glorious sunset. Jason gently took MJ’s hand and guided her out to the dock. Jason wrapped his arm around his wife while watching the sun setting from the horizon.
Tumblr media
MJ snuggled against her lover while they continue watching the sun setting. “I got to say Jay, I love every moment with you; you’ve really made my life very special.” MJ said. Jason kissed MJ’s head before giving her a note. “When I’m with you, I feel like my life has restarted for the better... You and Malon are the best parts of my life. <3″ MJ smiled up at Jason in fondness. “I love you, Jason.” MJ said.
Tumblr media
Usually Jason was the first to make the move, but this time, MJ had her arms around him while kissing him passionately, while Jason gives MJ the same affection. 
***
Everyone was enjoying the party, except for Papawise. He was sitting out while smoking his cigar. That is until Archie came over with a slice of cake for his Papawise. “I brought you some cake... Why aren’t you joining the party?” Archie asked. Papawise disposed the cigar before turning to his grand-clown. “I wasn’t allowed; your parents are angry with me... I’m not even allowed to interact with you or Kandy.” Papawise explained, before taking a bite out of the cake. Archie sat next to Papawise to talk to him. “You go and have fun with your snacks; I’ll be fine.” Papawise said. “I can’t have fun if you’re not having fun; you’re like a clown of the party... Okay, that was cheesy...” Archie realized. 
They both shared a chuckle before Archie speaks again. “Why are my parents angry with you? you’ve done nothing wrong.” Archie asked. “You don’t know half of it; other than me massacring the innocent people, I’ve done something that nearly caused the life of everyone that you cared for.” Papawise explained. Archie was confused; what did Papawise do that was so terrible? Archie was going to ask until his dad came to get his son. “Come on son, you must get back with the group.” Pennywise said. “But I wanted to stay with Papawise.” Archie said as he clings over to Papawise as a tear is running down his cheek. “I’m sorry son, but your mom does not approve, it’s best that you give Papawise some space.” Pennywise said honestly.
Papawise patted Archie’s back before making him leave. “You should go, bucko... Your mother scares me...” Papawise whispered. Even Pennywise can agree with Papawise’s statement. Archie was upset; he didn’t know what Papawise did, but he doesn’t deserve to be rejected like that. “It’s very wise of you to give Papawise a slice of cake, that really means a lot to him.” Pennywise complimented. “Thanks dad... But why are you and mom so angry with Papawise, what did he do?” Archie asked, as he really wanted to know. “I’ll tell you when we’re alone... I promise.” Pennywise promised to his son.
***
When the party was finally over, everybody went home. As MJ and Jason went in to check on Malon, they saw her lying in bed on top of the sheets while still wearing her shoes, like as if she just collapsed. “Aww... Poor Malon is so tired that she didn’t have the strength to change.” MJ awed. So both Jason and MJ helped Malon get out of her wedding outfit and fit her into her nightgown, then they tucked her in and walked on out.
After MJ gently closes Malon’s door, Jason picked MJ up bridal style and carried his bride into their bedroom. “Jay...” MJ only said. They were just lying next to each other until MJ brought something up. “I know you’ve spent a lot of money lately, so I thought maybe it’d be a nice change of tradition if you and I have a Camp out, as it were our Honeymoon. What did you think of that?” MJ asked. Jason nodded to her idea, he loved the wilderness, and there’s no spending money involved. They just needed to find someone to babysit Malon for the night, which won’t be any trouble.
Jason also has a little surprise for his wife. Normally on their wedding night they’d have... relations... but this time, he thought of something even more naughty that even his mother would not approve. 
Tumblr media
“A Half Lb. Peanut Butter Cup? When or where did you get this? normally they sell these concussions around Christmas.” MJ asked in shock. Jason pointed his own head; indicating that he had his ways. MJ giggled and started to open the wrapper. “Oh... I don’t want to get my dress dirty, mind if I...” Jason immediately shook his head, saying that he doesn’t mind, as a matter of fact, he thought of doing the same. Who knows, maybe they both have something in their minds, and it’s not just sharing a big peanut butter cup.
The End

Alex & Friends Part 9-Telecommunications and Transportation
Alex and Joseph have some bonding time. Also: a pinch of Plot cw: bandage changing, dissociation, French person briefly making fun of the Brits, cursing
“Please state your identication code.” The robotic voice chirped. “Five-Seven-Nine, Alfa, Lima. Codename: Midnight,” Alex said into the phone.
“Welcome, Midnight. Connecting you to Handler Seventy-Three.” The machine beeped, then transferred over to her Handler. There was a beat before he answered. “Good morning, Midnight.” He said in a posh British accent. It was so present that it almost sounded like he was faking it. “I’m glad your extraction went smoothly.”
Alex wanted to correct him, because no it fucking didn’t, but she refrained from that. “For the future,” Alex said, trying not to grit her teeth, “I would appreciate a heads-up before you send a team for me.” She left out that she thought she was being kidnapped and recaptured, because she doubted he would care.
There's a pause on the other side of the phone. “I was not made aware of the activation of an extraction team until after the fact.” Liar.
“Are you aware that I’m being sent to a safehouse?” Alex asked. He knew, there was no way he didn’t. He was her handler, he wouldn’t have been left in the dark.
“Really? I was not, no.” Another lie. “You are far more valuable in the field. I do not know why they would seriously consider a safe house to be a viable option. I’ve talked about this before, INSUPA needs more aggressive tactics.” Alex held in a sigh. He was giving the muckety-muck speech to her again. “I’ll do my best to return you to work. I’ll call you when I have results.” “Thank you,” Alex said, then quickly spoke again before he hung up. “Maybe lie less though, seventy-three.” The line went dead. Alex took a deep breath, trying to cleanse the icky feeling that these conversations always left her with. He was so infuriating, and she couldn’t even pinpoint why. She took another calming breath, then hooked the phone back on the wall. It was probably time to start heading to the plane. Her bandages could wait until after they’d landed. Safehouse or bust.
******** The tarmac was still slightly damp with morning dew, the temperature cool but not cold. Joseph had deposited several of his bags in a pile with the rest of his team's things, only keeping a small backpack with him. They boarded while the plane fueled and loaded their luggage. The plane was small, but the interior was comfortable. The team chose their seats and started putting their bags away. “So Aarav, excited to be going back home?” Avia asked, stowing her bag in the overhead bin.
“Nobody in the history of ever has been excited about going to London, mon pote.” Sil joked as he collapsed into his seat. “You can’t bug me about being from England until twenty four hours after an injury, you know the rules.” Aarav joked back.
Sil opened his mouth to continue the banter, but was cut off by Joseph “If y’all are like this the whole flight, I’m going to tell the pilot to crash us into the channel.” “Yessir.” Sil did a two finger salute. “I will not antagonize Aarav intentionally. No promises that he won’t be annoyed by my mere presence, though.”
The conversation was interrupted by Alex boarding the plane. Her hands were empty, as she didn’t have anything to carry on, and she briskly walked to the back of the plane, taking the seat furthest towards the tail end. He couldn’t imagine that she was happy about this whole protective detail thing, but she looked like someone had really got to her. Once they were in the air, he’d need to change her bandages. He hadn’t seen the wound since when he was really more worried about keeping her blood inside her body. She also needed to start antibiotics. Rivers aren’t good places to swim around in with open wounds, generally speaking. After a couple minutes, they were informed that it was time for take off, and they buckled their seatbelts as the plane taxied down the runway. The plane picked up speed and lifted off, heading towards London. Eventually, the plane stopped climbing, and they were declared “free to roam about the cabin.”
By this point, half the plane was out cold. Eric was quietly snoring, Avia was leaned against the window, and Aarav had reclined his seat as far back as it would go. Sil was absorbed by a game on a Switch that was definitely not his, and Teri was paging through an old Superhero’s Today magazine, waiting for the caffeine high to wear off so she could get some shut eye. After grabbing his bag from the overhead bin, he walked down the aisle to the back of the cabin, where Alex was seated. A thick file was open on her lap. When she heard him coming, she flipped it closed and set it on the chair beside her. “Watcha need, Joseph?” She said the words in a casual tone, but he could tell her guard had gone up. “Just checkin’ in.” He sat down in the aisle so that he wouldn’t loom over her. “I’m going to need to check your wound, if that’s alright.”
Joseph watched Alex tense up at the idea. “Where do you need me?” She asked.
“Can you straighten your leg and turn to the side? Tell me if it hurts.” He said as he pushed the moveable armrest out of the way. Alex twisted, allowing him to access the wound. “I know the graze has to hurt, but does anything feel off anywhere else?” “Just the hip.” Alex answered. “Hurts like a bitch.”
“I’ll get you something for that after we’re done.” He withdrew the supplies he would need from his bag, then pulled a pair of nitrile gloves over his hands. “I need to pull down your pants a little bit to see your wound, is that okay?” Alex nodded, and helpfully pulled her shirt up out of the way while Joseph tugged down the side of her pants just enough to uncover the ABD pad covering the wound. To help keep the area clean, he draped a blue surgical towel over the seat.
“I’m going to touch it now.” He warned as he reached for the tape. Alex tensed up at his words, but she didn’t say anything. Slowly, he peeled the tape off, then tossed it and the old ABD pad into the orange baggie serving as his trash can. The skin around the wound wasn’t puffy or inflamed, which he took as a good sign. It didn’t take long for him to unravel the kerlix packing; the wound wasn’t that deep. She’d done a technique job dressing it. There wasn’t any debris left in the wound either, so she’d cleaned it too. She must’ve had medical training at some point, then. “Looks good,” He said as he ripped open his roll of kerlix. “It’s already starting to heal.” It was when he set about wetting the packing material when he realized that Alex looked barely present. Her fingers were curled tightly around her shirt, as if she was hanging on for dear life, but her eyes were glazed over, her jaw slack. Shit. She was dissociating. “Hey, Alex?” He tried, waving a hand in front of her face. She blinked a little bit, shaking her head.
“Sorry,” She said, looking down at where Joseph was tending to her wound. “I uhhh…”
“Nah, It’s okay. No need to apologize,” Joseph said. “I know it can be a lot. Is it okay for me to keep going?”
“Yeah, it’s okay.” Alex said, her voice quiet.
Joseph nodded, then returned to his work. After ensuring the wound was clean, he packed it. Alex gritted her teeth when the kerlix made contact. “I’m sorry, I know it hurts.” He said as he finished packing it. Luckily, the wound wasn’t too deep, and it didn’t take very long. He covered the wound with an ABD pad, then taped it in place. “All done.” He declared, stripping off his gloves so that one glove was inside another and tossing them. Alex pulled her pants back up over the bandage, and dropped her shirt back down. “So, I’m gonna start you on antibiotics, just to ward off anything that might’ve gotten in during your swim in the river, on top of the pain meds.” He quickly unscrewed the safety caps and dumped two ibuprofen and a Moxafloxacin into Alex’s cupped hand. When he handed her a water bottle from his bag, she’d already swallowed them dry. She took the water anyway, taking a drink that might’ve been for his benefit. “Tell me if anything else hurts, yeah?” He said as packed up his things and stood to return to his seat. “Can do, doc.” Alex said, her relaxed tone returning. He gave a thumbs up and a nod as a walked back to his seat. For a brief moment her tone turned genuine. “Thank you. For your help.”
Joseph smiled back. “You’re welcome.”

OC-Tober 5: Failure
“Eric Heart, Lead singer and Guitarist of the up and coming band 9 cites his childhood friend as his inspiration. ‘Fuck, if El wasn’t there for me I’m sure this whole thing would have failed from the start.’ Eric said jokingly before wistfully sighing. ‘God rest her soul.’“
