After Atlantax is driven from Sub Diego...

Nov 16, 2005 02:54

The search for Mera would begin.

The first place to look would be the last place she was seen.

( It would not take long to find her. )

brainiac-5, aquaman, black manta, oracle, mera, sub diego secession, atom

In the Watchtower, a young green boy and an older man are frantically prepping a medbay bed for operation.

Get the paddles ready, dammit! We're probably going to need them!

Paddles are already primed, Dr. Dox. Adrenaline kit, stitch meds, we're good to go.

Brainy's response is cut off by the shimmer of the teleporter as Arthur and Mera appear.

Okay, come on, baby, we're here, just a little longer, okay?

He carries her over to the bed and sets her down - he's already snapped off most of the trident.

Thankfully, he keeps his face from registering his surprise, and instead just gives the Atom a significant look.

Pulse... not responding, going to second pulse point... not responding. Administering 20ccs of adrenaline, then paddles...

Ray is on the brink of tears.

Arthur... come on back here, okay? Give the kid some room to work...

ex_kingofat November 16 2005, 13:41:52 UTC

He allows himself to be led, numbly.

You should help, Ray. You're smart. Come on, man, you can help him, I know you can...

Brainiac Five ignores Aquaman's mumbling, going through the motions of something he already knows will fail.

Adrenaline administered, defibrillator... clear!

He jolts the dead body with five hundred volts and begins priming the paddles again.

No reaction. Clear!

Again.

No reaction. Clear!

Again.

...no reaction.

A deep breath.

Subject dead on arrival.

He throws the paddles away, disgusted.

ex_kingofat November 16 2005, 13:46:55 UTC

What? No! Do it again! DO IT AGAIN, goddamnit!

As Arthur starts forward, Ray grabs him from behind.

Arthur! She's gone, Arthur! There's nothing we can do!

ex_kingofat November 16 2005, 13:49:54 UTC

He slumps in Ray's grasp for a bit, then throws him off violently.

No! NO! She wants to live! She's gonna live!

He runs forward and starts administering CPR.

Come on. Come on, baby. One, two, three, four.

He bends over and exhales into her lungs.

Come on, work with me.

Wincing as he heads over - Arthur's much stronger than he is at the least of times - Ray grabs Arthur's shoulders again.

Arthur. She's gone.

ex_kingofat November 16 2005, 13:58:25 UTC

Arthur stops what he's doing and looks down at his dead wife's face, then bends over, kisses her gently, and holds her tightly - and starts sobbing.
