Laughter. The smaller Ghost looked over to the source of the out-of-place sound with as much horror as Dash. His eyes welled up with tears blurring his vision and the lump in his throat only made it harder to breathe. Why was this happening? Just when he was settling in and getting to know everything, it was ripped out from beneath his feet. He actually liked Cross - Allen, whatever - so why was this happening?
Why couldn't he do anything? This new power that he had discovered on accident was suddenly much less powerful than he thought. Through the small space that he could see through he saw the pile of ashes that was once his - ...friend? Someone important, he knew. He was someone he wanted to look up to because it felt right. He was the direction he wanted to turn to for reasons he couldn't remember.
He wanted to protect this! Although he couldn't remember what he had promised in his dream, here he promised to protect this. Or rather... he wanted to protect this. In his hyperventilating state he didn't notice the glow of bright blue in his suit near his eyes or the warm, phantom fingers on his shoulders. Instead he tugged on Dash, not wanting him to end up like Allen.
"D-Dash!"

There didn't seem to be such a thing. But he had to get little G safe, that was priority, everything else could wait.
"Cross will be back." He shouted over the roar of the fires around them. He has to be. He added mentally, terrified that he was wrong. "This way, G." And he tugged Ghost towards the safest looking path, there going slow, almost glacial. Focus, focus... Is Code okay? Bastet? Justice, Rabbit? Big G? Alexi? He couldn't afford to worry about friends, he had one right here he needed to protect.
It seemed like days, those two hours of trying to find someplace relatively safe. When the suits finally came off, and the fires went out, they were up in the branches away from the housing. But things were still cracking, falling. Dash had time to shove Ghost out of the way when one of the upper branches crashed down where they'd been, burning him and cracking ribs and who knew what else. The smoke was too blinding to even see if he'd gotten Ghost out of the path of harm, and breathing hurt like hell.

'Best keep an eye on th' things 'round ya, don't ya think?'
He turned around at the sound of the voice, not yet noticing Dash didn't seem to hear it. "Wha...?" But his question was cut short when he was suddenly pushed to the side, only to see Dash being crushed under the weight. He screamed.
"DASH!"
Instantly he moved over to him, new tears spilling over his smoke-stained cheeks. What was he supposed to do. "D-Dash..."

"Hey." His voice was raspy and he ended up coughing with the smoke he inhaled. And that hurt like a motherfucking bitch. Lungs had to be fucked. "Check..." He had to stop to get his breath. "Check the journals kiddo. See if anyone's still alive. Might give us a little hand." He sounded so much calmer than he felt, he was internally freaking out. But most of him was saying not in front of the kid. Had to act like it was okay.
He tasted blood in his mouth and his skin was going numb where it burned. "You look like a crybaby." He teased.

"N-Not..." But he stopped himself to concentrate on pulling out his journal. His fingers shook violently but he managed to write out a plea for help. The figure was standing next to him, he could feel it there. Ghost looked up at it - him? - eyes suddenly wide. It was the man from his dream!

It happened like a shot and he rocketed up like a swallow. Awesome. Code didn't focus on it as he awkwardly soared over the tree and moved through the air. It took picturing a ball on a string to sweep lower and catch sight of Ghost and Dash. He dropped down a bit too fast, his stomach doing flip flops. He touched the ground with both feet before them. Okay.
How the hell were they going to- wait. He'd use this want to get them there. If it didn't work the first time he'd just keep trying. Code was already running over to them, carefully lifting Dash and reaching to clasp onto Ghost.
"Hold on G-man. Don't die on me, Quicksilver." Wing clung to the ashes of his former master, rubbing his face in them before he snatched up the glowing crystal and swallowed it. He fluttered over to settle around Dash's shoulders like a golden mantel, his little hands patting him. Don't go too.

"Hey cool. The cavalry's here." Code was flying, right? That wasn't a hallucination. He recognized magic, that was real. Right? Oh god he hoped he wasn't hallucinating. The pain when Code picked him up convinced him he wasn't though, and he grabbed Ghost's shoulder just in case. don't leave anyone behind.
Timcampi got his head pressed against it, before Dash closed his eyes. Yeah, magic, he recognized the feel. It'd be okay.
"Took you long enough." He muttered, breathing shallowly. "Li'l G could use..." Whatever he thought Ghost needed slipped away as he passed out.

He was just a kid! What was he supposed to do? What could he do? Holding the hand on his shoulder, Ghost muttered something to the white man next to him. "What do I do?"

"iwanttobeinthecliniciwanttobeinthecliniciwanttobeintheclinic." A blue aura twisted and whirled about them as the power grew, focusing in his hands and washing outward. The more he repeated the phrase the stronger it grew until they simply - disappeared...
