[ It's not the darkness that scares him, but the inherent absence of light. Perfectly normal, rational fear that makes it absolutely okay for his heart beat as rapidly as it is, fingers trembling from the effort to keep goddamn calm because he is past this. It's fine. Just checking in. Everything is going to be just fine. ]

Please tell me you're okay.

[ ACTION — OPEN ]

[ FBI agents aren't ones to sit at home and cower and soon as Reid has made sure that the people he cares about are safe and well, he makes a valiant effort to at least get himself to the Defence Force HQ where he can at least be of use. Armed with nothing but a flashlight and the reflexes of a life-long bully victim he braves the dark and the raptors, keeping close to the buildings so he can slip inside should the bloody reptiles come too close.

Of course, that won't help much if he finds himself in a fear zone... ]

[Considering the time she set out, it's way late into the night that she finally makes it to HQ. There were quite a few mishaps along the way, including the incident that lost her her headphones and communicator both in the pitch black darkness of the dome. Toothy bastard, she got at least one good kick to his head in before scrambling to safety and it's there that she stayed for a while to hash out a plan. Thankfully she ran into Saetan there who helped heal her cut up arm, just far enough into a state where it was mostly scabbing; better than nothing. The grazes on her forehead stopped bleeding by this point too, though she was really unaware of how it looked on her simply because she didn't feel it.

So when she finally made it to HQ it was with a blood streaked cheek and wrapped arm, speckled blood across her t-shirt and a cracked flash light that'd grown way too dim to be useful. Exhausted would be an understatement, the stop and go method of storefront hopping and waiting for easy runs got old real fast. Sucked extra heavy that she couldn't call for any help, but at least she snagged a bottle of wine and whiskey both. Can't really wait to crack it.

So uh, hey Reid. Sorry she's checking in ridiculously, ridiculously late.]

[ He's been keeping busy, first with even making it the short distance to the HQ and then with analysis, collecting data, taking statements... good thing too, because if he hadn't occupied himself as much as he did there's a good chance he would've gone out there again to look for her, no matter what Kitty told him.

They have teams out there. Someone was bound to get to her eventually and for the time being, he refused to think of any other possible outcome. Not yet.

Needless to say, by the time she actually makes it to headquarters he's a bit of a nervous wreck under the otherwise professional surface. There's an intake of air and a widening of eyes and then he's out of his chair, quickly striding across the floor to wrap her in a hug. No words. Not yet. ]

[You might expect her to laugh and play it off easy, and she will maybe in a few moments but she's been through enough oddly tight situations to acknowledge a serious moment when it comes by. When he pulls her into a hug she lifts her good arm and wraps it around him in return. Gives him a squeeze, and then issues a soft and slightly bashful laugh.]

Hey. I uh, had some hurdles along the way in getting here.

	[ He gives her a squeeze before stepping back, one hand still lingering lightly on her shoulder. Do you have any idea how many team mates he's lost or nearly lost or definitely lost even though they're still around? He can't afford to lose any more. No more. ] Are you okay?

Yeah- Well. [She glances at her arm, shrugs slightly.]

I'm more annoyed over losing my communicator. Ripped it right off my head. [So maybe rigging it to be in her bulky earphones is to blame for that. She feels a bit lightheaded without their usual weight on her, and is touching her bare ears a lot in subtle, little hands-through-hair motions that show she's unaccustomed to it.]

The rest are just nicks and scratches.

	[ Profiler he may be, but worry is a potent kind of emotion and he's just going to go ahead and misinterpret those hand motions for a little while. ] ...C'mon, I'll see if we can't get a medic over here. You should have a check-up at the very least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-12-26 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	I- I'm fine... really. [She says, though she can't really be too stubborn. She doesn't feel so confident tonight, maybe she really is more shaken than she thought. Her brows knit but she won't really protest if he insists, but she will ask:] How's everyone else? And you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-26 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	I'm fine... a little on edge, but nothing broken. [ Reassuring smile goes here. You bet your butt he's going to find a medic soon enough. ] As far as I know, we haven't had any serious injuries... yet. I don't know if this is due to a lack of reports or if people really are this careful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[You know what she's going to do? Sit down. She gestures towards a chair before heading to it, rather than sit on the desk as per norm.] Where's Kitty? Out in the fray? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-26 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	[ Lingering worry is lingering. Jesus, Rebecca. ] She's around here somewhere... rallying the troops. Can I get you anything? Water? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-12-26 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	Nah, I'm good. [She says, pulling out that bottle of wine and setting it on the counter. She looks at her arm, peeling some of the torn shirt strips back to look at it.] Okay, maybe some clean dressings wouldn't hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-26 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. I'll see what I can find. [ But before he does... ] You probably shouldn't be drinking right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-12-26 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	I've been roughed around worse, you know. [But fine, she can wait. Her fingers push the bottle a few inches away on the table, and she yawns behind her other hand.] Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-26 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	[ Sigh of relief. He's not going to keep her from drinking all night, just... physical check-up first. ] I'll be right back, okay? Stay here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Uh, sure. [She says, glancing around from in her seat and feeling the faint twinge of her chest at the thought.

As long as he's back fast. Why is she worried?

It's just a weird surge of anxiety, she's never really dealt with it that badly before. Jeez.] I'll be... here.

[Maybe with her head on the desk when he gets back, tired but not really sleeping. Maybe dozing. It started with screwing her eyes shut with a deep breath, sort of ended with dozing off.]

[ He doesn't take too long and when he returns it's with a fresh bottle of water and a first aid kit. There's a twinge of worry as he sees her sleeping (or is she?) but he brushes it aside quick enough. It's a myth that you can't sleep on a concussion and even if she has one, it can't be more than mild.

He approaches carefully, reaching out to nudge her shoulder. ]

Rebecca..?

	[She snaps awake, lifting her head to his touch. She still feels drowsy but instinct is instinct. She rubs her eye.] Oh. Hi. That was faster than I expected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-26 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Sorry... I didn't mean to startle you. [ Hm. ] Do you, uhm... want to go into the break room? It's pretty quiet in there. If you want to get some rest, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-12-26 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	You know, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. [She rubs her neck and then pushes herself up with a palm on the desk.] I don't think I can really be of any use right now, I'm starting to feel sore. [Flexing her good arm, trying to remember why it feels sprained too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-26 10:57 pm UTC (link)
	Don't worry about that right now. We'll manage. [ Not so sure about her though. ] Are you, uhm... are you okay? Feeling dizzy at all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-12-26 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	[She shakes her head.] It's just the first time I tangled with a dino in the dark. I don't remember what I hit and when, just that I'm starting to feel it all now that I've had a moment to breathe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-26 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	[ He nods, gravely. ] I'll get someone to look at you soon as I can. [ With that he ushers her towards the break room, keeping close so he can grab her if she wobbles or she can grab him if she needs support. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-12-26 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	[She doesn't need to direly but she does gently reach out for his arm. Maybe it's just to have someone close.] I can feel my legs, don't worry. I'm just hoping I can trust 'em. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-26 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	[ He shifts around the items a little to free a hand, moving it up to gently drape across her shoulders. A little awkward, but not much so. ] I got you, if you do fall. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-12-26 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. [She shoots him a grateful look, but walks alright to the break room. It's there that she'll go about claiming the love seat as her own by dropping down onto it and sprawling out.] Next blackout I'm either staying home or taking a baseball bat with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
