[17 | video] - Dick's comm

[batmantled]

[When the comm turns on, it’s a little shaky at first but then Babs moves it to somewhat settle on her lap. The camera focuses on her and Dick, both laying on the same cot in the emergency clinic set up by Topher. Between the two of them they might have enough energy for an average person, but it’s plain to see that they’re severely lacking in that

[ She gets a grin and an awkward little salute with the non-bloody arm. ]

Yeah, I'm okay. Had to give some blood to my friend, but I'll be fine in an hour or two.

For a couple of months. Got some stuff done. [ crimfighting things :| ]

How about you, kid?

Good to see you guys. You both going to be okay...? [YOU WERE DEAD BUT NOW YOU'RE NOT, okay, so this isn't the first time he's dealt with someone coming back from the dead but it's the first time he's dealt with it here.]

[He... actually looks a liiiiittle bit sheepish.] Yeah, up until we got the whole 'world might end' news. There's been some not so good stuff, but... there's been some good stuff too. [Yeaaaaaah, totally a little sheepish. DON'T KILL HIM NOW THAT HE'S SEEING YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER.]

[But world is ending and you're both hurt.] Need any help...?

[ Now that gets a bit of an eyebrow. Not so much the words themselves, but the way he's saying them. But for now he lets it slide and just offers a non-committal shrug instead. ]

Might be a little while before I can swing by and see him. Maybe give him a hug for me.

[Andromeda looks -- an uncomfortable mix of relieved, exhausted, and worried. She pushes out a smile, though.]

You're back. You should have waited a few more days.

[As if he could actually control that -- and assuming that a couple of days from now they were all going to still be here. Eternal optimism out of necessity.]

[The background of her own video makes it pretty obvious that she's also in the emergency clinic -- and the movement of the camera makes it obvious that she's moving. It's a busy place.]

[action!]

[batmantled]

[ Funny how the answer to that total loss of energy after the transfusion someone ends up being wound-up nervous tension. He needs to get up, needs to start moving again, and Babs needs real rest minus the impromptu personal space invasion.

So he's up and moving past the line of cots, feeling more than a little in the way of the rush of noise and people as soon as he's out of bed. Still, it seems rude not to say hi in person. ]

[andromynous]

[Working Andromeda is a whirlwind of activity and multitasking -- she slides easily through the cots and people with little recognition of the sounds unless they're ones she needs to be paying attention to -- it's good practice to work in Europe's busiest wizarding hospital for years, apparently.]

[She catches sight of a familiar face, though, and recognition lights up over her face.]

I'm not going to ask whether you're sure you need to be out of bed, since I already know the answer to that.

[This is probably the happiest she's been able to be in the past few weeks, if only because she feels like she's actually doing something important instead of moving boxes into a damned new house. It's not that she doesn't appreciate the place, she's just had -- bigger things on her mind.]

Come on, we should get out of the way. I'm due for my bi-daily break, anyway.

[Is it a joke? Is it not? We may never know.]

[action!]

[batmantled]

Sorry I didn't say something before. [ But he'll slide his hands down into his pockets and follow her lead anyway. Familiar faces are good. Solid. Grounding. ]

Didn't think you'd be here.

[fishnets]

Welcome back. I'd say it's great to see you guys again, but... well. Bad timing.

[batmantled]

Don't think I could've planned it better myself. [ no, not really :c ]

Whatever it is, it appears to be susceptible to magic. You should help evacuate the people and then follow suit.

If you stand a chance of stopping this thing you're gonna need a little back up. [ not leaving :| ]

Back from the dead and brought a friend, hmm?

We should talk.

voice; same filter!

[ well that's an intimidating collection of names. :c a little pause: ]

...Sure thing. Got a topic in mind?

[ there's just a hint of a stopgap there ]

What about her?
