Roosevelt ER, Marvel: Clem, Dec & Mikey
[After the last injured person was dragged out of the rubble of Stark Tower, the men and women of Engine 26 had their own looking after to do. Which explained why they were all roped off at the ER of Roosevelt Hospital in Hell's Kitchen, being treated real careful for smoke inhalation and burns, coughing up fumes and all acting like there wasn't nothing worse than a papercut between the whole damn bunch.

Clem was done being fussed at, and all she wanted was a real long shower and something cool and sweet to drink, but the nurse that fussing with stitches at Clem's temple was saying the doctor wanted X-rays, just to be real sure she wasn't concussed, and Clem groaned and hopped off her hospital stretcher (after threatening real loud to call Penny) and went looking for folks to fuss over while she waited for someone to put her right damn back where she'd escaped from.

Her blues had been replaced by FDNY sweats in grey, and she padded on bright yellow socks with traction dots on the bottom.]

I don't glare.

[Although Declan was kind of glaring when he protested that much. As opposed as he was to long-lasting, unjustified cheerfulness, Declan found it impossible to dislike Mikey because of it. Mikey radiated with positive energy and there were no apparent ulterior motives for smiling as often as he did. Initially, it had been alien to Declan, but now he accepted it. Declan wasn't raised to be in good spirits, but the smiles were beginning to come easier than they ever used to, particularly when he thought that nobody was watching. Declan had always been happiest when on his own. As a child, wandering the urbane gardens of that massive Murphy home. In adulthood, cast out to sea without a word of English to be heard for weeks at a time. Maybe it was just the quiet he liked, but there was no such thing as quiet at the firehouse, with the cavorting shivaree of video games and masculine laughter on less active afternoons... and despite that, he was adjusting just fine.

He didn't even flinch away when Clementine began to rub the tension out of his shoulders. The muscles there were knotted like rocks, but the pain of that was a minor echo when compared to his knee. He hadn't even noticed that his shoulders were sore until Clementine touched him. His exhale was rough, and he rolled one shoulder forward with a stretch. Carrying around all of that equipment and injured people definitely took its toll.]

So long as she keeps the coffee pot full, I'm sure the Evie woman will do fine. [He glanced between the two of them, twisting his head to catch a glimpse of Clementine.] Did a doctor give both of you the 'all clear'?

[I don't glare, and Mikey pulled a face, mouthing the words with him before crossing his eyes at Declan's glare. Mikey could be serious if he wanted to, but what was the point in that? Life was too short, and things might not be great, but they would get better. They always got better. That pervading cheeriness had gotten him through life, and those rose-colored glasses were fixated tight on his face. He was effervescent. It annoyed people, sure, but whatever. He was basically a human golden retriever; he'd come back, tail wagging and tongue lolling, every single time.

So yeah, Declan was ornery, he was cranky, but Mikey liked him anyway. And that wasn't just because he tended to like everyone.

With a sigh, he leaned back, careful not to put his shoulder against the wall, though his head hit it with a thunk. His grin was wolfish and playful, and he looked at Clem through one eye.] You'll always be the only girl that matters, peach. [His chin dropped down again, and he nodded in agreement.] Think we can convince her to beat Sullivan into cleaning up after himself when he makes his gross ass vegan foods? If she can do that, she is my fav-- second favorite lady ever.

[Clementine smiled down at her ornery brother, because it was real cute, him saying he didn't glare any, and all while glaring. But she focused good on the knots in his shoulders as he rolled and stretched, figuring where things hurt easy from his moving. She'd rubbed her daddy's shoulders all the time, had Clementine, and her daddy always said she had real good hands.] The Evie woman's going to be real grateful for your belief in her, Dec. [Clem was grinning when she teased, because she'd sounded just as snooty 'bout her own damnself once. Hanging around with men real fond of plaid had tempered her some, but she still saw her own wealth in Declan's demeanor, and she couldn't hold it against him any.

Mikey grinned wolfish and playful, and Clem leaned clear over Declan to swat at Mikey.] You sweet talk her some for me? Be nice, both of you, and say hi, and I'll see she beats up Sullivan.

[Declan, he got himself a press of her nose to his hair before she straightened back.] And we're getting cleared in a minute, impatient man. Just rest yourself until then.

[Declan rarely needed adequate reason to get impatient, but this moment was justified. Now that some minutes had gone by, Declan could tell that the drug he'd received wasn't any kind of painkiller. It was likely meant to reduce the swelling in his knee, which was logical but felt useless without the warm spread of relief that came from the pills he had back at home. Tension radiated from the core of his body, and his attention was more focused on the cramp in his leg than the conversation at hand, which he assumed was just some trademark flirting anyway.

Annoyed, Declan edged away from Clementine by leaning forward. He pushed the wheels of the chair and started off down the hospital's hallway with an announcement bitten back toward them.] I'm going to find that damn doctor and get us the hell out of here. [He vanished around the hallway's bend.]
