The party had been nice, now she wanted to get out there more than ever. Roxy got up feeling quite good about the new faces she'd met, finally putting their online handles to features. It had been a swank party and while on her list of things to-do was write a brief thank you to the hostess, she felt the need to just go out and walk. Yes, Roxy had taken time to explore the ship in her months since arrival but it just seemed like one of those 'walking' days. A good mood and the energy to do something she dressed in one of her dapper suits--fantastic in forest green and ivory pinstripe--and wandered off.

Her feet led her down to the shops where she had originally arrived, a traumatic experience to say the least. One minute she thought she was being blown up and the next she was laying half dead on an alien space ship's floor. Since then she'd gone to the stores many a time for new clothes, supplies, spending time with Tilde and Eggsy, and just to see what kind of weird things alien's used. Once she found some kind of curly wand and truthfully Roxy hadn't been sure if it was a personal massager or utility tool. Either way she had put it down and walked away quickly.

Roxy was browsing through some curious pamphlets that almost seemed like travel guides when she noticed a lump nearby. Throwing the laminated sheet down she hurried over, springing into action as if she hadn't been dormant in her training since October. "Hello! Can you hear me? Are you injured?" she asked on her run toward the figure.

Enter JR

JR wasn't running, quite.

There was something in Roxy's voice, or the fact that Bobby hadn't talked to him personally, that had him worried for his nephew. He knew he was the closest thing the younger man had to a father growing up on the island, and that Bobby was his sister's son meant JR would move heaven and earth to help him if he could. Anything short of something that would harm his own family, now that he was a father.

So when Roxy called and told him, yeah he came as fast as he could.

He exited the elevator at the right level and started down the corridor at not quite a run, a small first aid bag slung over his shoulder just in case there was a need for it. Roxy had said Bobby was fine but a bit disoriented, hopefully it wasn't any more than that but he didn't want to take any chances.

If something had happened and JR couldn't help how would he look his sister in the eye when she woke up?

As time waded on while waiting for JR, Roxy busied herself between going back and forth between the store front and checking on Bobby. She had found some bottled water, which she presented to him as well as a little packet of crackers. It wasn't much but a little something in his stomach might help him feel better. She also brought back a pair of coats that she folded up to act like pillows. The least she could do was make him comfortable for the five or ten minutes it probably would take JR to get there.

When he rounded the corner and started down the long drag of stores in the mall-like area of the ship, Roxy took a few steps forward and gave him a wave. It had to be him. The only person in the area to arrive--as expected--and in a bit of a hurry.

"He's just resting," she said comfortingly.

	Bobby gladly took the bottle of water. He sat up and took a sip, then downed about half the bottle. That one sip made him realize how thirsty he was. The crackers didn't seem that appealing so he left them be. By the time JR was in sight he was lying back again, glad for the jackets under his head. The floor was pretty hard.

JR slowed down a bit and nodded at Roxy as she waved, and detoured to the indicated store without stopping. He felt a little bit better at her reassurance, but he didn't know her well and didn't know her background. And Bobby was family.

He knelt down by his nephew's side and looked him over. Bags under his eyes and sallow complexion, if he didn't know better he'd suspect Bobby went out and got shitfaced the night before. "You look like hell Sgt. Sully." He observed fondly, taking his wrist and checking his pulse just to be safe. "I thought the British Army knew how to hold their liquor?" A little friendly teasing to lighten the mood couldn't hurt anything.

	"Funny." Bobby chuckled softly. It was nice to hear a familiar voice. He did open his eyes and try to sit up. "Not really sure liquor was involved, to be honest." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Do you feel as bad as you look" He moved to help him sit up after letting go of the wrist. Bobby's pulse was a little slow but strong, so he wasn't concerned about internal injuries yet. "Easy does it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bobby took a deep breath as he sat up. "Kind of achy all over and my brain is made of cotton right now." He made a face before looking at JR. "Literally feels like the worst hangover ever." He wished he could remember what happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Might have something to do with you being out for the six months and change some of us have been here wide awake." JR observed sympathetically. "Think you can walk?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Six months?" Bobby's eyes went wide. That could have something to do with it. And was probably the cause of his thirst. He closed his eyes to assess how his head felt. "I think with some help." He nodded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yep, you missed a fun time. Woke up in Elyssa's body with no gravity on the station when we got here. Gravity came back after a few weeks, and your aunt and I switched back a bit over a week ago." He'd let Bobby do the math on what that meant, no need to spell it out for him.

He got him up with Roxy's help, one arm slung over his shoulder. "It's not that far, and I can get Jake to help us out if you feel like you can't walk anymore."

	A fresh wave of dizziness hit him as soon as he got to his feet. Bobby grabbed onto JR a bit tighter and swallowed a few times, trying to keep the water down. "Could you do me a favor and check my head?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	JR did as he was asked and frowned. "You've got a good bump on your noggin Bobby. Change in plans, we're taking you to Dr. Morgan to get checked out." He leaned his nephew against the wall and eyed him for a minute to make sure the younger man wouldn't fall down. Once he'd assured himself of that he took out his phone and texted Dr. Morgan.

	"Lovely." Bobby sighed. He was grateful to Roxy for finding him. At least now he could get some medical attention. "Shouldn't I have a headache?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	JR raised an eyebrow. "You mean you haven't even when your brain feels like it's suffering from the worst hangover of your life?" He gathered his nephew back up and nodded at Roxy, grateful for her finding Bobby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's kind of all over not specifically my head." He had to take slow breaths as they started moving to keep his stomach under control. "Never had a concussion before." Times like these he longed for his mom's healing ability. (Reply to this) (Parent)
