Re: Chinatown - Hospital
[The curse came easy under her breath when she saw the projectile hit Mai. Everything in her mind, so used to holding infinite thoughts about infinite people, had narrowed down to the passing seconds and helping the woman how was helping her. That and a little bit of fear in the face of being so vulnerable. And she knew she should run, as fast as her lungs would let her, away from the advancing danger of the aliens. And she did, just for a moment, to get close enough to give the newborn to one of the nurses. The baby began to wail the second it was gone from her arms, but she placed her faith in the nurse to care for the child. As she turned back to Mai.
She'd seen another flicker of electricity around the woman, more damage to another alien, but then she saw how it weakened the woman. Another step and a raw forced no cut under the chaos as she saw Mai grabbed, pulled toward the ships. It was enough to distract her from the alien closer to her, the one that scooped her up with ease with an arm under her ribs that forced all the air from her lungs. It started another round of painful coughing that left her lightheaded and unable to fight back as she was carried along toward the ship.]
