Re: NYC Streets: Helena/Seven
[Fire. Helena curses and tugs at him more insistently as the flames start within the cab. Her grip shifts from the out of place bones in his wrist to his forearm. Fire is - fire is not good, it's - memories - Silent Hill - and she grabs him like she's a Gotham looter and he's a TV-set worth 5k and hauls ass. There's a pleasant burn in her thighs and across her shoulders as she half carries, half drags him away from the wreck.
He only makes it twenty steps before he goes down and nearly takes her with him.] Shit, shit, shit. [And then it becomes her hands under his arm pits, yanking him to the far side of the street. His blood is everywhere on her and she finally kneels down again to reach for the morphine and a needle. But he's out cold, completely out and she's sure that's bad, but there's not much she can do about it, even less when she hears an alarming crack coming from the wreck.
That's all the warning there is before she falls forward, covering his body with hers as something finally explodes and all the world is fire and falling shrapnel.
Burning.
Something smells burnt. Rubber. Her hair. Pain at her back. She groans and kneels up, unsteady, uncomfortable buzz in her ear, thump-thump heart beat, she can't hear out of her left ear. No time to do anything about that as she strips off her scorched hoodie before she adds a new set of burns to her back. Him next and she brushes off part of a something maybe a bumper from his lower leg. No burns. Fingers at his neck to check his pulse. Still strong.
She groans and staggers to her feet, no time to stop now as she goes back to the Hummer, drives it up onto the curb to get the passenger side as close to him as possible. And before she wrestles him into the car, every muscle from her calves to her biceps purring with fire, she jabs him in the leg with the antidote.] You're so fucking welcome. [No time to call an ambulance, no time to wait as she pushes part of a burning hood off the hood of her Hummer and orders directions to the nearest hospital from Siri.]
