Strangers no more

The portal does not lead directly to the Nexus clinics, but it does spit the small group out fairly close by. Thorn is carrying Courtney and clinging to Irma's wrist, impelling all three of them tumbling through together. It is luck that his knee does not collapse on arrival, and he staggers towards the open doors of the hospital. It is his first thought that Courtney, who was on the floor and squinting blindly in the light of the portal's appearance, needs immediate medical attention. This assumption may be slightly inaccurate, as this was due more to being stunned than any greater injury. Thorn himself, however, is bleeding from multiple stab wounds and drops to his knees shortly inside the clinic, barely retaining his grasp on her. His grip on Irma is lost as he puts a hand to the floor to catch himself from further collapse. Courtney slides the last few inches to the floor while Thorn wheezes, head whirling from the recent events, and blood loss. He has noticed that Harold was nowhere to be seen on their arrival, and worries, but he does not have the breath to put this concern into words.
