Yo, clinic staff and anyone else who's got a little experience with CPR or lifeguarding, is a particularly strong swimmer or whose got skills that might be useful for us if the water rises much higher - put your hand up. The Force here's looking for volunteers but I'm going to be the one poking you all with a stick to get organized.

[Karev's wet to the bone, still packing waterproofed supplies - the last of it from the clinic. Anything for small abrasions from floating garbage to CPR mouth guards. Not that they'll likely see much use, hopefully. He looks a little tired but it's not the first time he's worked through a hangover and frankly, it's forgotten pretty quick. As terrible as it sounds, he thrives on a good disaster. The ability to do something in a good disaster.]

Keep tabs on your friends and neighbors, not everyone knows how to swim or how to admit that they never learned. Once someone goes under there's only a short period of time to do something in. After about seven minutes, they're gone. And don't go trying to be a savior if you're not trained to, either, because a drowning person can drag you down too if you're not prepared.

[Private to Gwen Cooper]

[This comes a little later after his first broadcast, and this is only voice. He - debated doing this, honestly. But here he is because ignoring it didn't help, it only made him pack three of the same thing into one pack.] Yo.

You getting along okay in this crap?

I live in sector 4, and no I'm alone.

[Her breath shakes, her chest cramped and muscles conracting slightly from the cold.]

I heard your message. People are lucky to have you out there.

Anyone coming to get you? You shouldn't be alone like this. [He's pausing before hastily resuming stuffing the pack he's working on.

The faster it's done the faster he can...]
I'm coming that way, so I'll try and find you, a'ight?

[Gwen looks out over the devastation. Over her shoulders are drapped a jacket, by now completely soaked through.]

You can't go out in this! The water's really rising, it's too dangerous, you are no use to people like this. I've been pushing some people in the clinics direction or getting them to higher ground but I can't anymore, the water's too high.

You're no use to people sitting on a roof either. [He'll counter use with use.]

I'm coming that way anyway. [Lie.] It's in my way so I'll get to you, alright?

[Bloody hell cocky little shit. She has never been so glad to be irritated at someone. Some bit of her wants to tell him no, go help people who eed it. But the water is rising, rapidly, and there is more will to live than there is pride in her.]

Alright, alright, if you're coming here anyway. [A moments pause, and the words that follow are almost whispered.] Hurry.Please.

[If someone were to check on Karev they'd find that what he was doing was hastily abandoned and he was no where to be found. He pretty much set off without a thought about letting anyone know, all at the soft sound of a plea from her. He had to find her, damnit, and quickly.

Sloshing through the shallows and even prepared to swim across the deeper areas, he tries to make it strategic but he just ends up soaked to the bone and stripping off his rain jacket to keep layers from interrupting his breast stroke. How the hell did things get this high?

To keep her occupied, calm, he keeps the feed going when he can.]
So - what're you wearing? [Half joking, half serious - it'd help him find her as well as perhaps put a sliver of a smile on her face if he tries hard enough.]

[Gwen gets up. In the back of her head her education calls to her. Once she was a cop, once she was on the beat and she would have been grasping people by the neck and forcing them to safety. Not crawled into a ball on top of a roof. It's good that he's coming. It's really good that he's coming, she might be able to help some more. She doesn't have use for herself, maybe he does.]

Jeans and a yellow shirt! I have a jacket but it's keeping the rain out of my eyes at the moment. My shirt is rather bright, you should be able to see it.[Laughter, tinted with worry.]

Swim faster, it's rather seethrough now, I think you can see my entire bra.

[Be careful. Be careful. Keep going. Don't die while I have to hear it.]

If it helps I'll take off my trousers too, my pale legs will lead you from the other half of the prison!

[There's a beat of silence, followed by a wet cough that turns into a good laugh.] I can't swim any damn faster here, you know that right?

[But boy is he trying, fighting against a bit of an odd current and latching on to the side of a building for a breather. He has no fucking clue where he is, spun around a few times, so he decides to get up on a roof for better bearings too.] If you wanna wave that yellow shirt around like a flag though, I ain't gonna complain.

I... [hn] I'm almost there. Okay? Almost there.

[The muscles in her body are starting to cramp a little. The water is at an alirhgt temperature but she has been standing here for hours. Her teeth clattering together she lets go of the jacket and waves around with it, her eyes scanning the water.

Inside her ice cold chest her heart is pounding. Be okay. Be okay.]


I swear if you get here alright I'll take it off for you, but don't drown on the way or you won't see it!

[His coughing nearly stopped her hearts, her blood might as well be as cold as the rain.His breathing sounds alright now, but still...]

I'll wave my bloody knickers on a stick if it gets you here alright, be careful. If you can't make it then don't keep going, I can.. I can fix this on my own if you have to stop.

Oh shut up, I'm not giving up a chance to see those panties. [It just takes him a little while to get his bearings, cursing himself every now and then - he's running on adrenaline so he's not giving himself time to sit and get cold incase it stalls him from continuing. He could call in someone else but - damnit, he's got this. They have other crap to deal with.]

Tell me when you start to see a light, I'll be flashing this thing around every so often. And I'm going to shut the feed off for a few minutes to see if you can hear me too? Got it? Stay calm, just listen for my voice and look for the light. [Soothing, oddly out of character (or in it,) for him as he tries to keep her calm like he would anyone he's treating for shock and injury. This water and weather's dangerous for more than one reason.

Once the feed clicks silent, he does start yelling her name as he progresses in.]

[Gwen bursts into a broken up laughter, coming out of her halfformed. Speaking she tried to keep his head above the water, trying to save him as he saved her. And if he spoke he wouldn't drown. Death doesn't work like it should here, and she has seen one man too much like him suffer that before. The thought of seeing Karev come back like that is enough to make her more naseus than she is.

The breaking of the feed is a blessing. Shame wells up in her but truth is, if she can't hear him, she won't have to stand idly by and listen to his last breath.

Looking around, her eyes narrow into slits. The rain restricts her vision quite a bit, but she tries. And then his voice comes to her first. Then the light, turning toward it she goes to the edge of her building, waving back.]


Am I glad to see you you bastard.

[It takes him a few moments to hear her back, realize he's on the right track - looking like a drowned rat in a tank top and water logged jeans. He rubs at his face, finding his footing on the roof before stumbling towards her on it. He doesn't know how he found her - his heart's beating a little fast, it's. A relief.]

Hey sweetcheeks. [Slight smirk, he puts his flashlight under one arm and reaches out with his free hand toward her.]

I will push you back in you cheeky bastard.

[There's a smile on her face, stretching so wide it almost pains her. Inside of her chest her heart beats almost mockingly hard, with relief and stress of course.

She stretches out and grasps his hand, starting to pull him up onto the wet roof. His hand is colder than hers and she wraps her other hand around his wrist so his hand won't slip out of hers. The poor bastard must be exhausted.]


I am so happy to see your face, don't make me bloody your nose when you're so pretty for once.

Hey, I heard a distinct promise of... knickers that I plan on taking you up on. [But that can wait, sure. He finds his footing again and damn, his muscles do ache a bit but relaxing isn't a luxury he can indulge in yet. He has to keep going before he loses his steam, especially if he wants to get her back in one piece to a safer zone.

He breaks the hold of her hand on his wrist gently, touching his hand to her upper arm, smoothing it to her shoulder.]
How are you feeling?

All in time love, all in time. I need to get out of these wet clothes might as well let you watch.

[The relentless rain that beats down on them is like needles on her unprotected skin. She wants to hug him, hold on to him, show him how absolutely mindshatteringly scared she had been. But Gwen stops herself, this is not the time and it sure as hell isn't the place. Putting on the face of a Cardiff cop facing a fotball game, she looks out over the water masses.]

Right! Where to from here?

[info]evilspawn

Right, right... [Where to go from here. Karev sort of surveys the way he came with not a touch of excitement.]

We need to get you to the pick up to move upward, get you up on that crummy little island in the sky with everyone else. It's not gonna be much drier but the water down here's gonna catch up on us soon. [A beat, at first he wasn't really intending to go up until the last minute himself. Figured he'd be more use down here and that wasn't necessarily a lie - he did end up finding her. But now he's finding himself also considering...]

And so you don't miss me too much, I'll go with ya.

[info]sobloodywelsh

Oh, that's right.

[A quick glance toward the roof of the dome where she can just make out the only place of safety in this entire bubble of death.]

I have no idea how we'll get up there though.

[Surprise moves her eyebrows up toward the wet hairline, as she reconsiders what he actually said.]

Don't they need you down here? You're a right arse and all, but you're a Doctor, and judging from the message you're a good one at that. Shouldn't you stay?

[Ungrateful much?]

Not that I don't want you to.[Reaches out, touching his arm.] Because I do want you.

They're using their weird magical crap to get people up. [He says this even though part of him still thinks it's weird, impossible crap but he's seen it first hand. So it must be some kind of science. And you can't argue science?

Right?]
Want, need, we're all ending up there anyway. I'm no freakin' dolphin so I'm not sure what I can do down here the higher this water goes. Thank you can make it back with me or should we call it in?

Magic. Alien technology as always.

[The water is indeed rising still. And by the looks of things it won't stop, not anytime soon, and her heart sinks within her, beating hard inside her stomach now she thinks.]

I'm letting you decide. You came to get me, you get to call the shots. I go where you go.

If that includes you drown where I drown, gee thanks for making me pick. [But he thinks he has a second wind.

Plus they can always call for help if they get stuck halfway.]
I'm still up for swimming - are you? And don't give me this crap about making me decide. If you're tired, we can work with that. Think you can hold on to my shoulders at the very least?

If you're gonna drown might as well do it with a mate.
[Gwen mutters and strokes her hair out of her hand. It's like wearing clothes in the shower.]

Oh come on love, I know it's unfair making you chose. But you're the only one of us with medical training, so that makes you highest in command. I can swim, I'm cold as shit but what else is new? [What use can they be? At the end of the day they might all be belly up fish anyway.] Fuck drowning seems to be bloody awful!

Then we'll try and get back, see how far we get. [Because rooftops are now dangerous, muddy things and the water's swirling in weird ways.

Alright, alright. He steels himself.]
This is one of those times where there ain't no ladies first. [Because he's jumping back down into that mucky water first, looking back to her after a brief stint of head-under-water.]

[Gwen grits her teeth as she heads into the water. As she breaks through the surface the only thing all air disappears, and she is left for two, frantic terrible hour-long seconds, as a empty husk. Then her head is over the surface and she looks at Karev with eyes large and filled with a fright she surpresses as quick as she can.]

Fuck! [A current is tugging at her body and she realizes that this might have been a mistake.] Lead the way cowboy

[Those two seconds wear on him until his breath leaves his lungs when she surfaces and he reaches out for her arm, treading water and trying to lasso her closer in a way.] Hold on to me if you're having trouble, I'll get us there - I've done a lot of crazier crap in my life. This is nothing.

[He waits to ensure she's close, at least, before starting to swim. Goddamn, how did it get so deep?] Then we can discuss you sitting cowgirl later on.

[The water is not dark enough beneath them. She can make out shapes of the streets below, of places she has just started knowing. Her stomach sinks deep within her.]

I'm here.[ Oh please God I don't want to see anyone .]

I am actually more of a reversed cowgirl myself.[Her hand finds his and she holds it for a second, squeezing hard. Then she starts swimming in big broad strokes, trying to force her tired muscles into work. It is terrifying, but doing something is better than sitting still. In the water with Karev is better than alone in a rooftop.] And I wouldn't have to look at your face.
