Going with dark. Because I am decidedly a very dark person. :PsellsellcellDecember 20 2012, 10:09:06 UTC
[It's taken Shenzi days of tireless hunting to find Bill and when she does, she's horrified. She drops to ehr knees in front of him, cupping his face.]
XD They were due a little angstdixietechDecember 20 2012, 14:15:07 UTC
Hn.. [The con had gone south on them a little too fast for even the likes of Sherwood to recover. Naturally the tech guy in the van had been the easiest target for them to pick off. Tuck was pretty sure he was a dead man the second they started working him over.
That had been.. God knows how long ago. His hands were broken, body battered, and judging by the labored sound of his breathing, either his nose or ribs were broken too. Knowing his luck? Both.
Bill tries to pull away from the contact. He's dreaming. He has to be.] 's get this over with..
[But her hands are warm. Warm and urgent and he blinks, nearly fainting in relief.] Sh.. Shen?
[He chokes on an agonized sound as the blood flow returns to his shattered hands. The pain is enough to make his world go dangerously grey.] Christ..
Good thing you came. They.. were gonna start getting creative. [Cutting things off, most likely. And Tuck was partial to his parts right where they were.
He struggles to stand, going down in a heap the moment the ropes snapped free.]
Hehe. This is true. Next, fluff. *nods sagely*dixietechDecember 22 2012, 18:44:45 UTC
[His lip is split and he's pretty sure he's going to pass out. Then Shen is kissing him and maybe he can do this after all. Because the sooner they go, the sooner he won't, you know, die.
Three fingers in his left hand are broken and he has to use his wrist to try and lever himself up. It's his right hand that's a swollen, black and blue mess and Tuck tries to keep it close to his chest, keep it from moving at all. Resolutely, he shoves his feet beneath him.] Have I mentioned lately I love you?
[Tuck gives a shaky nod, leaning against the wall while Shen checks ahead. At her signal, he doesn't so much run as stumble, stagger and try not to fall down. Hardly graceful, but it works and with a groan, he all but collapses into the back seat of her beat up car.]
eee! sorry for the slow. work plus holidays is killing me..dixietechDecember 27 2012, 15:18:28 UTC
[With a groan, Tuck flops onto his back, watching the ceiling of the van. He has to breathe. Breathe and let the shakes come. He’s alive. He survived. That’s what matters.] I’m here darlin’. Hurt like hell, but I’m here.
We’re gonna need a hospital. They wrecked my hands..
But you did. Should have known nothing would keep you away. [He can't even hold her hand, or reach out for any sort of comfort. His arms are solid lines of noise and pain.
So he watches the roof and lets himself drift, lets the world go grey.] 's my girl. Always has been.
[The mention of his little brother makes him flinch and he closes his eyes. That's about the time that the shakes start. He's alive now. So certain he was going to die, so certain he wasn't going to see his friends or loved ones again.]

Duh. Who else is stupid enough to go looking for your happy ass for a whole week?
[She tries to avoid the broken limbs, but cries out softly at the sight of his hands.]

Shennon takes a moment while he's down to cup his face and kiss him.]
I was so frightened for you.
[Then she's tugging his arm, trying to pull him up, while avoiding broken bones.]

Urk.. Christ that hurt..

[Shen just keeps repeating his name. She can't think of anything else to say. She begins to drive, as fast as she can without hurting him too badly.]
Jesus, you have to stop doing this t'me... You're gonna give me grey hairs.

[She's already en route to the hospital.]
I thought I'd never find you.

[Shen hits the steering wheel.]
Fuck, Bill. I don't know what I'd do without you.

I didn't.. didn't want to get grabbed.

[She reaches the hospital and helps him out, holding him close despite the shakes.]
