POSTING ORDER: Declan, Renee, Liam
After the
extremely brief conversation online with his baby brother, there was no question in the fact Declan was going to go right over there. Liam had a knack of diluting things

His eyebrows shot up in surprise at seeing Renee there, and he couldn't help but sigh in relief that he had some sisterly help. "That was one day quick response to the Batcall, Robin," he noted quietly. He tucked his arm around her in a hug and kissed her cheek. "Li's been attacked at a bar. Come, sit down, but I really need your help, Nay. He might listen to you more than me." He searched his sister's eyes, hoping to god she would connect some dots without him needing to spell it all out for her, or get Liam to try and repeat it. Declan just didn't think Liam would that forthcoming after his outburst.

She waited for him to sit and do as he was told, finding herself with a handful of bloody tissues to discard. She just sat them on the table to get rid of eventually and when she was sure he had a fresh supply pressed to his nose, started to hold the ice pack wrapped in the towel across the bridge of his nose, pinching it a little. She kissed the top of his head and started to rub his back softly. "It's okay, cutie. We're here, yeah? You don't have to talk, or even say anything. We're not going anywhere. You got a knock to the head? Do you feel woozy? Sick? Have you got anything to take for pain?"

He didn't mean his last comment to come out sounding almost pleading, or naive. Any sane person would see it would probably be impossible for him to just peacefully go to sleep right now. He took the icepack off Renee and glanced at her briefly as he stood again. "I-I need to go to the bathroom." He didn't wait for their answer or permission, even. He just walked stiffly across the apartment shut himself inside the bathroom.

He rubbed a hand over his mouth and shook his head in disbelief. "He was nearly raped, Nay. The fucking evil arsehole had his cock out and Liam's pants down. Had him locked up against a fucking wall! W-What do we do? What do we do if he doesn't want to go to hospital or talk to the police? Just let it roll? Forget someone sexually assaulted our baby brother? Do we tell that professor bloke he's been seeing?"

She reached out and took her brother's hand, trying to give it a reassuring squeeze, but it was hard to be reassuring when you were terrified yourself. "You were doing just fine cleaning him up. I just... guess it's reactionary being trained as a nurse. If he's not out of there in five minutes, I'm going in," she resolved. "Where is everyone else? Have you heard from them yet? Do we tell Mum and Dad?"

He brought up Joe's number and dialled, only to get a voicemail recording. When he spoke, he hardly even recognised his own voice he was so choked up. "... it's me. I can't come over tonight. I know I saw I would, but I... I..." He hesitated, floundering for an excuse but his mind just felt like it was stuffed with cotton wool. "Got a headache. See you soon." He quickly ended the call and dropped the phone into the sink, almost like it had burned him. He managed to brace his hand on the edge of the vanity briefly before his legs felt too weak and he had to sink down onto the floor. With his back against the cold glass shower cubicle, he drew his knees up and covered his face with his hand as a sob caught in his throat before he could stop it. This sucked. He knew if he started crying, he would find it near impossible to stop.
