prompt: marcy wakes up immediately after the core is defeated, still injured and in the midst of battle, but in sasha and annes arms at last :)

once again, no amphibia knowledge, but here:

Where was she? Marcy didn't know. Her eyes felt so heavy, like she hadn't slept for nights in a row. Try as she did, they wouldn't open.

Her friends had always been better at listening to nature than her, but Marcy knew she was outside. A soft breeze was blowing through her hair, which felt so much longer now, and there was a faint buzzing.

Marcy tried to move herself a little bit, but flinched at the pain in her chest. It felt like the very center was being torn apart, tissue by tissue, and Marcy bit her cheek. A hand gripped her arm and held her still, uncut nails digging a little into her flesh.

"Marcy, you need to stay still, okay? Anne's trying to find Maddie's potions."

And Marcy knew it must have been a trick by the Core again. Sasha couldn't have beaten Andrias, even with Anne, and if they did? They wouldn't have wanted to see her. Who would? She has trapped them in Amphibia, lied to them, and put them in Andrias's path. It was all her fault, and there wasn't any possibility of them trusting her again.

A little groan slipped out of her. Something pushed her hair out of her face.

"I know it hurts, Marcy. That stupid Core thing really did a number on us, but it's nothing compared to what it did to you." The voice that sounded like Sasha let out a little broken laugh. "I couldn't even look when Yunan speared that last eye. That's pretty dumb, huh? So much for being a brave fighter." It was impossible, but some small part of Marcy wanted this to be the real Sasha. Surely the Core couldn't imitate her that well.

Marcy opened her eyes.

She had to blink three times. Twice for the blinding Amphibia sun above her, once for the golden head that moved and blocked it out.

Their hair was much shorter, but that smile was the same. It was Sasha. Beautiful, nuts, oh frog, what happened to their eye? Marcy rasped in a gasp at the scarring, and Sasha looked taken aback by the noise. No, no please I didn't mean that, please don't be ma-

"Hey, Mar-Mar, don't be scared! It's just a little scar, okay, it's nothing to worry about."

"W-what happened?" Why was her voice so raspy?

"It doesn't matter. I'm okay now, and you are too. The battle's almost over, except for a few Frobots."

"Why aren't you mad at me?"

"What?"

"After everything I did to you and Anne! Why aren't, why aren't you," Marcy started coughing mid-sentence, and Sasha looked around the ruins of Newtopia.

"Anne should have been here by now.." Sasha sighed. "Marcy, I am a little mad at you. But that doesn't mean that I would just leave you here, to be tortured and used as a puppet by that monster and false king! We've been friends for forever, and maybe it hasn't always been the best, especially not on my end, but I love you! I'd never hurt you like that."

"You, you mean all of that?"

"Of course I do." Marcy felt like crying for a whole new reason. Sasha leaned down and kissed her forehead, smiling for what felt like the first time in a century.

Sasha pushed themselves up, looking into the horizon. Marcy wanted to crane her neck and see, but knew it would hurt. "Anne! Marcy's awake!"

Soon, Anne appeared by her side, clad in that shining armor. Marcy was reminded of their reunion at Newtopia, and the happiness they spent together before everything she'd done caught up with her. Anne had no scars as dramatic as Sasha's, thank frog, but parts of her armor were dented, and her hair was filled with Frobot wires as well as leaves and sticks.

"Marcy? How are you feeling?"

"I'm not too great, but it's better with you here." Anne blushed, and Sasha snorted.

"Maddie made this healing potion for you. It might hurt a little, but it'll help you with all the stuff the Core did. Do you wanna take some?"

"Yeah. And Anne?" Anne paused from her retrieval of the potion, kept in an old-timey flask. "With you guys here, I don't think I'll hurt anymore."

Platonic Pair of your choice + "Would it be ok if I slept here tonight?"

"Would it be okay if I slept here tonight?" Lucy asks, gesturing to Dr. Magnus' couch. "I promise, I'll go back with everyone tomorrow. I know this isn't a hotel or anything. But I-"

I just found out my sister exists again. I thought I'd lost her forever. I'm not ready to let go yet.

She doesn't say any of this, but Dr. Magnus seems to hear it all the same. With a gentle smile, she shakes her head. "It's a Sanctuary," she says. "For all. You're welcome to stay as long as you like."

Forever, Lucy thinks without warning. She wants to stay forever. But that is a dangerous thought, and not just a little unrealistic. She has a war to fight, and Dr. Magnus has already made it clear that the Sanctuary is not a battleground.

"However," Dr. Magnus adds, "I think you'd find a bedroom far more accommodating; I'll be working for hours yet."

Lucy glances at the clock on Dr. Magnus' desk and blinks. It's after three in the morning.

Once again, it's like she's reading Lucy's mind. (Hopefully she can't.) "I don't require sleep as often as most people."

"Right, because of the… Vampire blood." She tries to keep her voice even, as if that's not one of the weirdest things she's ever said in her life. Dr. Magnus looks at her in careful consideration.

"How are you holding up with all of that, by the way?"

"I'm fine." It's too quick an answer-she knows even before Dr. Magnus arches a brow-and she hurries to clarify. "Mostly fine. Really. It's just, every once in awhile it hits me, you know? Vampires, Bigfoot, Hollow Earth…"

"I know what you mean. Can I tell you a secret?" Dr. Magnus smiles, leaning in conspiratorially. "Over two and a half centuries of it, and sometimes, it hits me as well."

She hadn't realized how worried she was about disappointing this woman, but now it hits her full-force, along with overwhelming relief: she hasn't failed some unspoken test. (With her mother, it was always unspoken tests, always pushing for more, disappointed when she couldn't live up to impossible ideals.)

Breathing a little more easily, Lucy laughs. It mostly isn't forced. "I just… Yesterday, the weirdest thing in my life was time-travel. Now, that's not even in the top ten."

Chuckling, Dr. Magnus nods. "I've found that discovering one oddity is most often simply a gateway to an entire universe of them."

Lucy wonders what other oddities might be out there, but she forces the thought to the side. One bit of life-changing information per week, thank you. (And the past 24 hours have covered her for the next year.)

"Anyway," Lucy says, remembering the original line of conversation, "I don't want to trouble you for a room, so-"

"It's no trouble. However, if you're truly concerned, perhaps you could talk to your sister? I'm sure she wouldn't mind sharing."

For a moment, Lucy's ten years old again, laying under the covers, listening to Amy's pitter-patter soft footsteps making their way to her bed. Amy was still shorter than her back then, still a frightened little girl who thought her older sister was braver and stronger than the things that went bump in the night. Now…

Lucy may have become a soldier, but Amy has become something else, something far beyond anything Lucy could have imagined. She's become a protector of the very creatures she used to fear, and Lucy's trying not to look at her like a stranger. She loves her, she does, but she hardly knows the woman her sister has become.

"You're sure?" It's supposed to be casual, but her shaking voice betrays her.

Dr. Magnus' eyes soften. "Absolutely." Leaning back in her seat, she adds, "Her room is the third on the right. Get some rest, hm?"

Lucy's hands shake as she walks down the hall.

(She barely knocks once before Amy opens the door, pulling her in with a warm hug. Neither let go for a very long time.)
