42 [Accidental Video] Forwarded to early evening.

Oct 03, 2011 12:39

[Rachel is pale, lifeless, and covered up to her throat with a blanket in the clinic. The feed continues that way for a couple of minutes until -- there is the slightest amount of movement. Her chest, moving up and down, in slow, ragged, painful breaths -- and then Rachel's eyes flicker open, dull and confused --

-- and then she begins to panic.] ( Read more... )

panic at the solve, caution: emotions run high, bet you miss the sweaters now, it's the bitch of living, there is no song for this one, this place is fucked up, the diva has lost her voice, little mermaid complex, a little fall of rain, does anyone have any holy water?, someone needs to explain this

[Blaine's been sitting at Rachel's bedside for a while now, watching over her body and hoping that she would just wake up soon. His eyes have been drooping for the last hour and he's nearly fallen asleep when Rachel comes back to life. The noise startles him awake and it takes him a second to realize what's going on.]

[He nearly falls out of his chair when he realizes that Rachel has come back to life. He lets out a choked sob that is sort of mixed in with a small laugh as tears gather in his eyes.]

Rachel! Take it easy, it might be a little while until you can move properly.

Blaine --

[A hand reaches out to grab his arm painfully tight as Rachel steadies herself in an attempt to push herself up again. She's trembling.]

Blaine, I don't -- I don't want to be --

[And her free hand moves to her throat, and her trembling doubles, because -- ]

-- it hurts --

[He lets her grab his arm and he tries to help her sit up as much as possible. If she needs to hold onto his arm to keep steady, Blaine would let her do it for as long as needed.]

Please calm down. You're safe now, everything's going to be fine.

I'm sorry Rachel, maybe Ms. Unohana can do something about your throat. I can ask her for you, if you'd like.

Blaine, I -- I --

[She can't quite manage to say 'I died', and she stays upright, swaying gently with the effort.]

... yes. I -- please.

Alright.

[He makes sure that she's steady before standing up.]

I'll go find her. I'll be back in a few minutes, okay?

[And he goes off to find Unohana and let's say that he comes back with some soothing tea of some sort that she's made to help Rachel's throat. I don't know, pretend plz.]

[She stays put, while Blaine goes, and when he returns with the tea, Rachel indicates that he should put it on the table. She looks exhausted -- and the thought of drinking anything made her want to throw up, but she tries for a tentative smile of thanks anyway.

It takes a moment or two to speak again.]

Blaine... I want to go home.

[He places the cup on the table and returns to his chair. He doesn't speak for a moment, allowing Rachel the time she needs to get the words out. When she does finally speak, he's surprised though he quickly tries to cover it.]

When Ms. Unohana gives you the okay, Kurt and I will take you to our new place. I think you'll like it there, Rachel. It'll be our new home.

[Her brow furrows a little and she leans forward slightly.]

Solve is our home.

[Quietly.]

We are going to Solve.

Not anymore.

[He lets out a sigh.]

Rachel, it will be safer for you there. Safer for all of us.

Negi was not the person who killed me, Blaine. The Animus did.

[Her voice is beginning to tilt into a whisper, as she tries to keep speaking, but the determination, her seriousness -- it's still there.]

We are all going back home. To Solve.

It's not safe there anymore. I don't want anything like this to happen to you again.

[To you, to Kurt...to anyone.]

We can't go back.

[She's quiet, for a very long moment, before she reaches out to take his hands. Her eyes are shining, and she's shaking -- it won't stop for quite some time -- but she works up the nerve to whisper.]

I remember... when I came here the first time, Blaine. Just -- a little bit. And -- I was all by myself. No one was here, Finn -- and Kurt, and -- they weren't here. And Edward and Alphonse --

[She has to stop for a moment, and she closes her eyes, to work through the pain of speaking.]

-- they... took me in, even though I -- I'm useless and... annoying and -- and too much trouble and... I cause them so much trouble but they still -- took me in. To protect me and make me part of their family and I will not --

[Tears roll down her cheeks and she lets go of one of Blaine's hands to find her throat and she pries open her eyes.]-- I will not split up my family because of -- an event, I will not let the Animus win. I will not. So we -- we are going to hold our heads high and go back home and I will be singing Defying Gravity by next Monday ( ... )

[Blaine's whole body begins to shake as tears begin to form in his eyes, but they're not spilling over yet.]

You want to go back so we can risk this happening again? I'm tired of sitting by bedsides waiting for people to wake up. I've gone through it with you...with Kurt...I don't think I can do it again, Rachel.

[She watches him, from her pillow, before she pushes herself up slightly on an elbow.]

Blaine...

[She swallows.]

We live in Adstringendum.

This may happen wherever we go.

So I should be okay with this? With my friends being killed and being forced to lose something that's dear to them? Are we supposed to just sit around and wait for the next person to kill us and take it because we're completely defenseless no matter where we go?

[He can't hold back his tears anymore and he's crying freely as he asks these questions.]

No -- of course not, but alienating people who aren't at fault --

[But no -- her voice can't take anymore. So Rachel grabs for her PCD, to text quickly, turning it around to show to Blaine.]

The Animus are the ones who killed me, Blaine. Negi did not. He is torturing himself enough without us adding to it. We can figure out a way to make ourselves safer in this world. But we can't do that by ourselves.
