Hey You, Hey You, Finally You Get it. The World Ain't Fair, Eat You if You Let It (active)
Who: Rorschach, Merope, and Doc Lexie
What: Merope's infection is getting out of control, Rorschach is fulfilling "partner's duty," and Doc Lexie isn't feeling great but is the only one who can help them.
When: Around 10:00 AM, Day 9
Where: Starting at the clocktower, and then the gym
Rating: PG-13 for medical stuff. :)
Status: Active

Rorschach hurried back to the clock tower, cursing softly. He had hoped, like Merope, that a shower would clear up the infection, but clearly things didn't work that way. Now, she was just as badly off, and possibly worse, and he knew that he had to get her back to the gym to see the female doctor called Lexie.

He was in great shape, so getting back and climbing the winding stairs on the inside quickly were not a problem for the masked hero. Entering the little room he shared with Merope and ignoring the body hanging from the clock face in the already sweltering heat (Rorschach was sweating under his coat), he knocked twice and then entered without waiting for a reply. "Are ready to go?"

While he seemed to be devoid of anything that appeared like touching, Merope tried to offer him some here and there. She even tried to offer him a kind smile which seemed to default to a slight winced after a moment or two. When he turned, she was quite slow in her movements.

The moment she pressed her frame against his, she settled back and winced. It took her much longer than before to get herself settled in a position that didn't compromise her body feeling much discomfort. Merope just wanted this pain to be over, she couldn't take much more of it as it was stopping her from even moving.

She nearly choked.

In what weak strength she had, she moved her arms to try to wrap around his neck without choking him. Any time there was a movement that was too much, she tensed and had a muffled cry that never hit the air. "Please don't leave me."

Rorschach heard the differences in Merope's breathing, the occasional catches and half-formed vocalizations. He knew the sounds of pain very well. They sounded a lot like the sounds of fornication. "Won't leave. We are almost there."

Indeed, they were almost at the gym, and as they approached it, Rorschach dared to quicken his pace slightly. He didn't want them to be too late to catch Lexie while she was willing to tend to the infirm. He entered, careful not to let the door hit Merope, looking around for the woman he knew by sight or anything resembling a clinic.

Merope tried her best to be as accepting and as loving as she could possibly be. Her face hid into his back, trying to keep any noises down so they weren't obnoxious in any way. When the two finally made it into the Gym, she slacked her body on his as she did before. Merope knew that she was safe and nothing could go wrong, she could depend on him to hold her up when she couldn't do it herself anymore.

While Rorschach looked around, Merope did nothing more than try to relax.

"...Thank you, Rorschach."
