Warnings: TBD, although not many, I suspect

Jack woke up on the floor of his apartment, a bottle of rum empty beside him. The moment his hand had twisted into a metal hook, he had started for the liquor, panicked that Evie and Nicky would be right. Despite the desperate desire to chase down Pan, he had managed to waylay that murderous urge and instead, he drunk himself stupid. That was good, really, until Jack got the phone call that made his blood run cold.

Staggering to his feet, Jack was relieved to see his hand was back to normal; he was further pleased to discover the world wasn't spinning so badly. Still, he looked a wreck: his shirt untucked and half unbuttoned, his tie missing, his dress trousers wrinkled. It didn't matter. For once, he was utterly unconcerned with his appearance and he reached only for his wallet and keys before starting down the stairs to 1202.

He pounded on the door once before trying at the knob, shouting: "Evie, it's me! Open up!"

Nick looked helplessly back at Tegan as she closed the door. He had begun to like her, if that was a good thing. The very vocal Peter part of him wanted to stay with her, play with her little brothers, and never leave. Especially not in to the care of a pirate, the care of Hook.

Sighing heavily, Nick turned back to his siblings and gave them an awkward shrug. "Well then, back to the hospital?"

	Evie didn't so much as glance at either of her brothers as she spun around towards the stairs. If Nicky didn't want to go back to the hospital that was just fine with her. He could stay here with Tegan. She stalked down the hall ahead of them, a little more awkward than she would have liked because of the state of her feet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

For a moment, Jack considered not doing the appropriate thing. He stared at Nick, hating the clear resignation visible on his face, and he knew he was partially to blame for that. Then Evie blew past him, anger crackling off of her, and he shook his head. He couldn't start down that road, letting the two of them run wild, irresponsible. Thinking they were fairy tales.

With a sigh, Jack rubbed his face and shrugged at Nick in return. "I guess so. Do you need-- anything from the apartment?"

	Nick looked after Evie and frowned deeply. He hated seeing her upset, even moreso when he knew he was the cause. It took everything he had to not run after her. Snapping his attention back to Jack, he shook his head. "No, I really should. Uh. They probably think I'm dead or missing, right? So please..talk to them? I don't know what to tell them what happened.." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Since you jumped out a fucking window and there's no body, they'll probably believe just about anything." Evie crossed her good arm over her cast and turned around in a move that was sharp and angry. She wasn't mad at Nicky because she was never mad at Nicky, but she was still mad. She was especially mad at herself for being such a possessive bitch. A Wendy was a good thing, what with what had just happened to him. A good thing, she repeated to herself silently.
