Come Over Here and Let Me Tell You Something

Where: The remains of the gym
When: Around 5:30 PM
Rating: TBD
Status: Finished

It had been awhile since Rorschach had expended this much effort doing something. His mask in his back pocket to protect it from the blood and sweat, he staggered into the gym with Merope's body in his arms, gasping for breath and looking for a place to set her. A cot looked like a good place... setting her body gently down, he patted her shoulder a couple times before collapsing himself, a dirty, exhausted redhead in a heap on the floor. He lay there, dazed, hoping that someone would see to his partner promptly. He'd done what he could, and her heart seemed to have started again, but he didn't want anything to go wrong. If his partner died, he would blame himself forever.

Sarah Jane frowned as Walter made as if to stand, then sank back to his knees. "Steady on," she said, reaching out to catch him if he faltered again. "Does your head hurt at all? Any pressure or bad throbbing?" If he'd hit his head, he probably did need to be looked at soon, despite his assurances that he was fine. Head injuries were not something to be ignored. Goodness knows she'd conked her head, or been conked on the head enough times traveling with the Doctor to realize that.

"Don't want to be a bother," Sarah said when Walter mentioned tweezers. "Rather like you, it seems." She offered him a smile. "Let them take care of the others first, right? The ones who can't help themselves at the moment." Independent. That had always been Sarah Jane. She was managing fine on her own for the moment, so why not continue doing so? Even though Walter did have a point - she could end up hurting herself if she wasn't careful. But even a little nick on her tongue or gums would heal fairly quickly. The doctors here had far more important things to deal with than a few slivers of glass.

Rorschach glanced up sharply as Sarah Jane reached out toward him. It was very seldom, that he was treated with such concern and care. He wasn't used to it, and it made him uneasy... but not in the worst possible way. He would far rather be with someone who treated him kindly without reason than someone who treated him unkindly without reason. "Is fine. Pain's not bad," he said gruffly, shaking it back and forth once briskly.

"Would not be a bother. Doctors will get to us. We are lucky. Not hurt very badly. Can probably be helped, not like some others."

Sarah Jane nodded at his insistence that he wasn't in a lot of pain. She didn't want to push Walter, just make sure he really was all right. She could take him at his word for now. If he started showing any signs of getting worse, she'd shout for one of the doctors.

"That's more or less how I feel," she said, agreeing with him that the doctors would get to them eventually. She knew full well she was lucky to only have the bruises and scrapes she did. After she'd helped get that poor girl out from under the wall, she knew exactly how lucky she'd been. She was also lucky in that she had the Doctor and Jack here, and Ianto, although she didn't know him properly yet.

"I'm sure they'll be able to help everyone," she said, frowning slightly. They had to, right? That Insider person said hurting them wasn't the point of the experiments, hadn't he, or she? Killing the lab rats didn't tell you anything. Not that Sarah Jane liked to consider herself a lab rat, but really, that was what they all were, in the eyes of their captors.
