[Ash & Shane]
[After this.]

[She wasn't conscious when the kick occurred, wasn't aware that anything had changed, and perhaps that was for the best considering what Crane had put the pair of them through. After he had been taken into custody, minimal medical attention had been paid to his injuries, assuring that he would not, at least immediately, succumb to his injuries. It had amounted to little more than bandages around his wrists after they had finally pulled him from where Helena has nailed him to the wall and butterfly bandages to close the cuts upon his head. It was enough to keep him going, to keep him alive, but little more.

So when the door unceremoniously kicked him back through, it was Ashleigh who suffered. Her dark hair was matted with blood, the bandages on her wrists that had long since soaked through with blood, leaving her pale and quiet on the floor, half-curled into the fetal position.

She was one of the few people who had survived having Crane in their heads, but it wasn't proving to be a smooth ride.]

	[Without a car, they're not going anywhere. Shane sighs, but he continues carrying the girl until they're in the reach of sunlight. He doesn't make a move for any keys, but instead looks out the window for a car in the lot. Nothing.] I'm going to call an ambulance, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She doesn't want the fuss of an ambulance, doesn't want the hospital, just wants the peace and quiet of a dark room, but she isn't with it enough to voice a bit of argument. So she nods her agreement.]

Yeah. S'bad, isn't it? [She can't tell, doesn't want to think about it, but she can feel it, the way her head throbs, the fire in her wrists, and it's bad, she knows.]

Someone beat the fucking shit out of you, yeah. You got a face like fucking hamburger. [Shane grunts as he puts Ashleigh back on the carpeting. He removes his jacket to fold under her head and settles next to her. He then moves to pull the useless wraps from her wrists, to check how deep the wounds are.] You got a way to explain this to anyone?

[He pauses.] I don't give a fuck what actually happened, but you'r gonna need an excuse, or they'll call the cops. Hell, they'll probably call 'em anyway.

[Despite the crude description, it gets a small grin out of her. But then she's quiet as he's helping her settle, the colour bled clear from her face until she's finally still and he's unwrapping her wrists. The wounds go straight through, between the bones, bruising already flooding the skin where the nail was hammered home.]

Other than being beat up, no. Don't think they'll take the reality well. [There's another small smile, though it lingers for just a heartbeat as her eyes close again.]

[He swears under his breath and takes the fucking shirt off his back. It's not clean, but it isn't soaked through with blood. Twice, he rips the thing, not attachment to the greasy cotton. Shane ties each of Ash's wrists up as best he can.

He takes a break then, apparently uncaring that he's shirtless in an ancient, sentient hotel with a gun jutting from the back of his jeans. He calls for an ambulance, saying he's found a girl, wounded, outside of an abandoned hotel. With no address on record, it takes a minute for the location to be pinpointed. Once the calls over, he goes back to her side.

With the remaining scrap of shirt, Shane tries to wipe away blood from the wound on her head.] Who the fuck would beat the shit out of a little pregnant girl, who would fucking crucify them, without motive. You better think of something. Tell 'em it was that fucking boyfriend of yours. At least it's believable.

[She's a quiet patient as he tends to her wrists, biting her lip until it's near bleeding before he finishes and wanders off to make the phone call for an ambulance. She can feel her heart pounding, some of the haze of what had happened starting to wear off, leaving the pain behind, and as she lays there with her head pillowed on his jacket, a shiver runs through her, and it's then that she squeezes her eyes shut.]

Some guy? Propositioned me? I refused? [The word 'crucify' spikes through her, her lips pressed into a tight line before she forces herself to try and relax, to try and be calm.] It's not like I'm showing yet. [She glances up at him, her vision unfocused, two of him swimming in front of her.] Not gonna blame it on him. He's not my boyfriend anyways. Nothing to him, never was. But not gonna piss him off, it'll just end badly for someone.

[Shane rolls his eyes at the pulp of a girl. He wishes he had a cigarette.] Keep thinkin' of something. No one with half a brain is gonna buy that shit.

[Knowing the ambulance is going to take a few more minutes, he shifts on the floor, removing the jacket to spread it over her prone form after she shivers, cushioning her head with the muscle of his thigh. He says nothing.]

	[Another crack of a smile.] Hard enough to remember what day it is let alone trying to come up with a story. Don't remember. Think it'll pass? [She lets out a long breath after she settles once again, eyes closed, and some of the stress on her face easing away. Whether or not she's passed out again is hard to say.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Shane sits quietly for a few minutes, cold in the empty air of the hotel. He looks down at Ashleigh, but remains silent.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He looks away and growls at her:] Shut the fuck up.

[When the sound of sirens reaches the lobby, he climbs to his feet. Shane scoops up the girl, leaving his jacket behind as he carries Ashleigh out front. He settles her with her back against the crumbling facade of the hotel, so she's propped up like a broken doll at a tea party. The sirens draw nearer, wailing and wailing.] just tell them you don't remember shit, yeah?

[He doesn't wait for an answer. He disappears back into the hotel before the ambulance pulls into the lot, grabbing his jacket as he walks down the hallway.]

[There isn't time to say anything to him in response before he's scooping her up to take outside. The world spins uncomfortably, the sirens screaming as they come closer and closer. By the time he's gone, the ambulance has pulled up in front of the run down building. Part of her had hoped he would stay, that she wouldn't have to be alone, but she didn't really expect him to.

And then there's no time to think as the paramedics are out and fussing at her, sirens again wailing soon after as they rush her off to UMC.]
