(The Hideout)

Slash and Agito weren't around, Shakila had noted that. She figured they had to go and help out the others, which to her, didn't matter to her as she was busy as it was. Her laptop was up and running along with using the wall to write various formulas on it, taking up the whole wall.

But she was getting irritated with each passing moment "No, no, no, no, no, I'm not even close to getting the counter serum correct" she groaned as she walked back over to her laptop again "I have no clue as to how Trinity's even using the super speed and strength that she has...each time I try and replicate it, it just falls apart....it's as if it has to be precise without the slightest mistake"

(The hotel)

"Fair enough I suppose....besides, I was planning to just relax, freshen up and all that" Kiara smiled back to Kagetora again as she motioned for him to follow her to her designated room.

Slash walked over to a vehicle that was parked in the Hotel's lot, then shook his head.
"Agito, we need to get back to the safe house. C'mon, let's go."
Agito nodded, and the two took off running back towards their safe house...

Kagetora smiled and placed his hand on Kiara's shoulder.
"Mmm...Well, perhaps that freshening up could wait until a little later. It'd be a shame if you got all clean and then it went to waste afterwards, right?"
He teased...

"Hawkeye, you've got to help me!" Shelton pleaded. "I don't...I'm not a medical doctor!"

He thrust the first aid kit at the cyborg, in case he needed the latex gloves, scissors, and thermometers that composed all of its remaining stash.

Zachary finished loading the car, and walked around to see what Shelton was talking about. "Holy crap," he swore. "Get her in the car, we'll drive her to the hospital!"

-----------------

The remaining members of Cobalt squad had purchased a room with Neville. They now sat in a triangle, holding a silent memorial for their fallen teammates.

(Washington DC Base)

Luckily, the body was still warm so the sensors recognized it as a living body part.

When he got to the self destruct initiation page, he quickly entered the password required. After going through two confirmation screens, a red light blinked on the console and a synthesized announcement began playing.

"Attention, self destruct sequence has been activated. Thirty minutes to self destruct."

O'Neill nodded. "All right, let's get out of here!" he said as he ran down the hallway.

----------------------

(Hotel somewhere in Platanna Town)

Dr. Zanasiu picked up the phone and saw the text on it. He then nodded and headed into the hotel.

Coming. he texted back.

Zachary hopped into the SUV and started the engine. "Shelton! We need to hurry and get Roux to the hospital!"

Alfred came out of the hotel lobby as well. "I'm going to see if Gustave's all right. Not to mention, I should probably see a doctor after getting that hit in the head that hard."

Zachary sighed. "Get in."

Alfred climbed into the front passenger side of the SUV and buckled himself in.

Let me look at her ' Dr Landon said " hurrying over to the SUV and climbing in to gaze at Roux's paw. He ruffled inside his s doctors vest " Lets see " I do have a small tourniquet and some sterile gauze. we are going to have to held it down so the bleeding stops. she is going to need either a paw transplant or a prosthesis " he said "We'll have to explain away how it happened. unexploded ordinance, that she accidently touched or something like that..
_ aisha had checked into a room on the second floor, originally for three(herself. Dr Landon, and Roux), but now with a text from Landon informing her or Roux's injury, she wuld be staying alone for a bit. " get her to the hospital' Aisha texted, then come get me..

Shelton helped get Roux into the car and worked on keeping her stable as Zachary drove. "Stay awake, Roux!" he said repeatedly.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4686 on:** January 14, 2012, 02:00:01 AM

Roux nodded blearily.
"I'll try...I really will...but...after all...what good's a fake life like mine...in the grand scheme of things, right?"
She whispered bitterly, as Hawkeye looked at the stump of her paw.
"Don't worry about the paw. I'll be able to take care of that. If we can stop the bleeding, and stabilize her, then we should be fine. But...that may be tough. I'm not sure if I can do this..."
He said, his mechanical eye zooming in on the wound...

Nick22 · **Reply #4687 on:** January 14, 2012, 02:10:25 AM

Landon pulled out the tourniquet and tied it tight around her few a a few inches below the wriswt
that will cut off the blood flow and allow us to wrap the wound. he said. " every life is precious Roux. I know Aisha means a lot to you, so try and hasng on, for her sake..he gazed at the wound.. " well the wrist seems to be intact so it looks like a transplant would be sucess, or we could create a paw from tissue from elsewhere in the body, and attach it.. he murmured, as the tourniquet slowly did its work.. he turned to Hawkeye. " Keep that arm stable, I'll see if I have anything that can numb the area, like morphine..

After the vigil, Cobalt Squad had gotten to their feet and were preparing for bed.

"So, I don't want to bring up a sensitive subject, but who is in charge now?" Neville asked.

"It isn't me," said Crota. "I joined later."

"Masters and I are technically of equal rank, but he would make a better leader," Mongoose said. "I nominate him."

----------------------------

Sharon was waiting for James when he got to the room. "Hello," she smiled, laying stretched out on the bed. Her clothes lay in a pile in the corner.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4689 on:** January 14, 2012, 02:23:16 AM

Hawkeye blinked a few times, then shook his head.
"Roux, once the get some painkiller into you... I might be able to heal you. But it'll hurt like hell. That okay with you?"
He asked, using his wing to stabilize her wounded arm. Roux nodded slightly.
"Yeah...just so long as...I can get back to Aisha...I...want to be with her so bad right now..."
She murmured...

(Platanna Medical Center parking lot)

Zachary drove as fast as they could to Platanna Medical Center.

"We're here! I've got some other business to run," he said.

Alfred got out of the SUV and helped Hawkeye and the others carry Roux.

------------------

(Unnamed Platanna Town Hotel)

Neville nodded. "I second the nomination," he said.

Sgt. Masters gulped as all eyes were on him. "I... I accept."

Will I be able to live up to Lt. Slavik's legacy? he thought.

------------------

Dr. Zanasiu entered the room and saw Sharon lying on the bed. He tried to keep his face from flushing.

"Erm, I need to take a shower," he said hastily.

Sharon got up from the bed. "Why don't we save some water and shower together?" she said seductively as she walked up to Dr. Zanasiu.

The biologist blushed as he felt Sharon's tail brush against his leg.

After leading James to the bathroom and turning the shower on, Sharon slowly started unbuttoning his shirt. As she let it fall to the ground, she massaged his shoulders and pressed her chest onto his.

"I've dreamed of doing this for a long time," she whispered in his ear, as her fingers trailed down his chest to the fly of his pants.

----------------------------------

As Shelton was the most normal-looking of the group, he ran ahead and told the person on duty of the medical emergency. "Hurry!" he ordered, as the orderly scrambled to alert the paramedics to head to the lobby.

"We've got a surgeon already preparing for an emergency transplant," the orderly assured Shelton. "And how will you pay for this? Does the patient have an HMO?"

"Uhhhh, Micah Landon can probably foot the bill," he replied quickly.

Nick22 · **Reply #4692 on:** January 14, 2012, 01:40:50 PM

I'll pay for it Dr Landon said, pulling out his credit card.."and I'm a doctor myself, so I used a tourniquet and tried to halt the bleeding..he said to the orderly.. 'if they need assistence in surgery, I can assist, I've had to perform some tranplants in mytime ..

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4693 on:** January 14, 2012, 04:02:23 PM

Roux opened her eyes and looked up at the others.
"Everyone...thank you...For caring..."
She whispered, as Hawkeye manifested a nanite cloak around himself so that he didn't appear as a cyborg, and a nanite shirt and pants onto Roux...

(Unnamed Platanna Town Hotel)

Dr. Zanasiu smiled as he undid his pants, leaving him standing in his boxers as the steam swirled around them.

"You know, same here," he said, as he reached up and scratched her behind the ears. Sharon's tail began wagging in pleasure as she nuzzled his chest.

--------------------

(Platanna Town Medical Center)

Nurses, doctors and orderlies placed Roux on a bed and rushed her into surgery.

"Please be okay," Alfred muttered. He then went up to the desk and stood in line.

A few minutes later, he had some forms to fill out, which he did. He then sat in the chair and grabbed a Newsweek Magazine.

--------------------

(Outskirts of Platanna Town)

Zachary had shut off the SUV's headlights as he drove off road, kicking up a large cloud of dust. When he was certain that no one was following him, he dumped Dr. Wayne's body into the scrub.

The uncomfortable feeling in his hooves reminded him that he needed to see a farrier to be reshod as soon as possible.

Nick22 · **Reply #4695 on:** January 15, 2012, 12:06:06 AM

Dr landon was called to assist in the surgery, fortunately the surgeons had a vixen paw to use as a transplant, it would take a couple hours to attach the paw and reconnect the muscles. roux was put under anesthetic, and surgery began. first the stump remaining of rouxs paw was cut awat so the attachement with the new paw would be clean. the paw matched roux's fur color so you would not be able to tell it was a transplant, not even if you looked close at it. so far things were going as planned.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4696 on:** January 15, 2012, 12:36:29 AM

After a few minutes of nuzzling, Sharon smiled and started to tug at his boxers. "You're not showering in these," she whispered, eyes flashing coyly.

Besides, at this point they weren't really hiding much.

Once they were off, she led James into the shower, encouraging him with her gaze.

--------------------

Shelton sat next to Alfred. "So, what was Zachary doing?"

"Mm-mm. Probably went to dump that doc's body," Alfred replied, not looking up from his magazine.

"Hmmm." Shelton sat quietly for a few minutes. "So, that's presumably what would happen to one of us if we die, huh?"

Alfred looked up from his newspaper and stared at nothing in particular, lost in that thought.

He stayed like that for a while, prompting Shelton to not attempt conversation again.

--------------------

Zachary called Aisha. "I'm going to pass the hotel in about ten minutes. Do you want me to pick you up and take you to the hospital?"

Nick22 · **Reply #4697 on:** January 15, 2012, 12:49:24 AM

Yes please. Have you guys heard anything about Gustaves condition " aisha responded " i'm heading down to the enterance of the hotel, just pull up and I'll hop in. I'd have to imagine Roux is in surgery..'

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #4698 on:** January 15, 2012, 01:12:18 AM

"I'm not sure," Zachary replied.

In ten minutes he returned to the hotel and picked up Aisha. "Roux is in surgery, but I bet she'd love to see you there when she wakes up," he said.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #4699 on:** January 15, 2012, 01:37:18 AM

Inside the surgery, Roux's eyes fluttered open and she silently observed the procedures...
