WHO: Derek Matthews, Matt Murdock, Li-Na Yiu, and Elliot Craig
WHERE: A parking lot at a grocery store in Tisse
WHEN: October 4th, evening
WHAT: Derek get a magical gift from Retrospec
WARNINGS: Blood. Lots of blood. Derek thinks he's gonna die!

Things have been going alright for Derek. He was finally moved into his new apartment and it was about time that he should actually put some food in his fridge. It had been three months since he has had his own place where he was paying the rent, so he might have splurged a bit on food. But what else would you use a large trunk for? It was raining and he is loading some bags into the trunk of his car at the local grocery store when he feels this instant pain at the front of his body. This pain... it felt familiar. The next thing he knew, he was starting to fall. He tried to grab on his his car, but he ended up hitting his chest on the bumper, dropping the bag of food, and then falling on his back onto the wet pavement. Delirious from the pain, Derek looks up, and through the pelting rain, and sees the blood stain on the bumper of his car.

[Blood? NO!]

Derek instantly starts to panic. The curse, this was the wound from the curse Harry and used on Draco! Of all months it had to be October! The pain was excruciating and he knew he was loosing blood Fast. He tried pull his phone out of his back pocket, but since he was on his back, he couldn't muster the strength to grab it. He was completely alone in a dark parking lot, late at night, unable to call our for help because he was having trouble breathing from the wound. He didn't even want to know how he looked right now, but he was sure there was probably a huge gash or cut across his body and blood was probably going to increase the more wet he got from the rain. All he could do was lay here on the ground surrounded by fallen groceries, tears of pain and hopelessness streaming down his face, and wait for death in the rain.

[PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME!]

[ Matt had stopped by the same grocery store on the way home from work to buy baby wipes but when he exited the building he was greeted by the smell of blood. What was going on? This potency suggests a wound, at least a serious nose bleed. He steps out into the parking lot and tries to focus on the sounds coming from people around him, ignoring the hum of vehicle motors and rolling tires. A few rows further in and to the right, someone is panting for breath. He turns and runs in the direction, forgetting to bother with his cane on the way, and the strength of the smell confirms his suspicions. He reaches for the phone in his pocket, he can call an ambulance or Elliot- ]

Hey! Hang on, I'm calling for help.

[ As he yells ahead it dawns on him that the man on the ground is wearing a familiar scent, Derek's hair product. ]

Derek?

[ He holds his phone up and commands it to "Call Elliot." ]

[Through the rain Derek sees Matt come towards him. He must have smelt the blood. The pain from the wound was excruciating and he tried to open his mouth to speak, but then he started coughing up blood. He heard Matt tell his phone to "Call Elliot," which was great, but only if Elliot could get here in time. He had to tell Matt to get call Li-Na. Li-Na and her fast boots. But how. He coughed up some more blood and between breaths he tried to speak.]

Weeze... L-li.... weeze... N-na...weeze

[The pain increased from the wound and he lets out a pain filled moans. Matt, please understand what he was trying to say!]

[Elliot is somewhere else, unaware what's going on. But at least he's there to answer his phone. His voice can be heard through the phone as he picks up, noting Matt on the caller ID]

Hello? Uncle Matt?

Ell, it's an emergency. I'm in the parking lot outside Sprouts and Derek is here, he's wounded. There's a lot of blood- I think it's Retrospec related.

Oh no....

I-I'm on my way! Where's Sprouts at?

[ Matt starts to describe the location as he finds the place where he hears the most blood flowing from and applies pressure. ]

Hold on, he's saying something. I think... Li-Na?

Li-Na....?

[Wait he knows that name, but he'll be quiet until he hears more]

[The pressure Matt was applying was appreciate, though fairly useless. Either way, the pressure causes him to let out a painful cry and the gash across Derek's face down to his waist continued to bleed. Derek hears Matt mention Li-Na's name. Good, that was good. Hopefully they will remember that she can travel super fast with those boots and get Elliot here. Derek was starting to loose concentration. He tried his best to focus on Matt, just so he could focus on something to keep him aware. But it was proving difficult with the pain and the loos of blood he was experiencing.]

I think it's- There's a girl on the network with that name isn't there? I don't know her that well but maybe he needs her- My hands are full here, you're going to have to be the one to contact her Ell, and fast!

[Wait... did Elliot know about Li-Na's boots? Shit! They had to know of by the time Elliot got here... well... there would be no one alive for him to heal! Derek lifts up his head a bits and spits out some blood.]

Boots... Her b-boots...

[Derek takes another staggering breath and coughs.]

They're fast...

[Another gasp of air and Derek's head falls back onto the pavement as he tries to concentrate on not passing out.]

Ell, I think he's saying she's fast, she can get you here faster if you let her carry you.

[ Matt grits his teeth. ]

He's bleeding too much too fast. I don't know what it is about this wound but I can't slow it down when I put pressure on it.

That's troubling....

[He gulps. Was it a magic injury? But now was time to focus]

Okay, I'll try to reach her! Just do your best to slow the bleeding! I'll be there fast!

[And with that, he hangs up and looks up Li-Na's number from his old contacts. Thank goodness he had it from his group 3 days.

RING RING LI-NA]

[Li-Na's busy studying when she hears her phone buzzing. See's Elliot's name on the screen (yay group 3 days, such good times), she answers.]

Hey Elliot! What's up?

H-Hi Li-Na.

I'm sorry, but I need your help. Derek's bleeding in front of Sprouts in Tisse, and I need to get there.

H-He said you can go fast with your boots?

[at the words 'Derek's bleeding,' Li-Na stands up fast enough to send her chair spinning across the room]

Yes! Um, I can break the sound barrier.

[she grabs her jacket and slips her feet into her boots]

Where are you? I can be there in a moment.

[literally. she just needs to GPS the address and get her trajectory...]

O-Oh...that is faster than my roommates car.

[COOL.]

I-I'm at [INSERT ADDRESS. It's near RU's campus]. I'll be standing outside.

Oh, I'm not far away. Good.

[since hong konger house is in apprassage too]

Be there in a sec.

[she doesn't break the sound barrier on her way over, because they're so close, but Elliot will see her drop from the sky hard enough to leave a small crater in the street, as her voice calls out a warning to anyone below]

Incoming!

[LI-NA WE DRIVE ON THAT STREET.

But hollly crap. He was outside with his coat, but thankfully still on the front step so he's out of the boots blast zone. He's got his staff with him, and he looks pretty stunned]

W-Whoa, you weren't kidding about a sec....

[THE CITY CAN FIX IT... sorry]

Nope~

[Li-Na checks on her phone exactly which direction she needs to go to get to Sprouts. Then she turns and crouches down. Yep, Elliot is going to get a piggy back ride.]

Hop on!

Um-

[Were it any other time, he'd probably hesistate a lot more. But this was an emergency so he climbs onto her back, wrapping his arms around her neck while still holding onto that staff. ]

O-Okay!

Try to not whack me with that.

[she says it partially in jest, but also... really, pls don't accidentally whack her with it mid-flight]

Hang on tight.

[Li-Na makes sure she has a good grip on Elliot's legs, then jumps. ~~Leaving yet another small crater in the street. Sorry street, this is an emergency.~~

The first jump clears them of the rooftops, and then it's like she's stepping on the air itself. Once she's high enough to avoid most of the rooftops of Recolle, she leans forward and activates Sound Shackles.

It's like she suddenly has rockets strapped to her legs. The Innocence forms a pocket around them, protecting them from any friction, as they zoom across the city's skyline.]

[Good news, he's used to flying piggyback style on Eren when he goes flying so this isn't exactly new. In fact, Lenalee is probably a smoother ride than swinging building to building. However, it's never at this speed. So it's still pretty freaky. Enough that with a single noise, he decides okay he's just going shut his eyes and hold on tight the whole way.

Yeah. That sounds like a good plan]

[That is honestly a very good idea, Elliot. Just keep those eyes closed, especially once Li-Na hears her phone beep, letting her know she's getting close.]

Going down!

[You know those drop tower rides at amusement parks? Where they haul you up to the top of a vertical tower, hold you there until you stop counting, and then drop you with no warning? Yeah, feels a little like that.]

Impact in five.... four... three... two... one....

[Luckily the boots absorb most of the impact, so Elliot is only slightly jarred when they land at the edge of the parking lot. She does make a slightly larger crater than she did in front of Elliot's house. Like... she could land lighter.... it just would take a lot more time to decelerate enough.]

[He'll open his eyes after he feels the jarring sensation and the countdown. That...that sure was something. He blinks wildly as he sees the crater around them]

W-Whoa...

[Eren needs to be in TITAN form to make craters, what are you Li-Na. Except he really doesn't have time to ponder that, as he needs to be slipping off and looking around for Matt and Derek.

god he hopes they were fast enough...]

[May he never see Iron Shackles.]

Which way are they... I didn't see as we came in.

[Too focused on not sending Elliot tumbling with her landing...]

Maybe if I...

[She gives a light jump, just enough to put her about ten feet in the air, and with a slight rotation. She scans the parking lot, looking for Derek... or Derek's car... something to help her and Elliot find him.]

[ Matt hears voices increasing in volume at an extremely fast rate and movement in the air. The closest thing he has heard to it before was John out flying. He'll assume that's Li-Na and Elliot now or something Retrospec related. ]

Over here! Elliot!

[ He shouts for their attention. ]

[Derek, in his very delirious state, thank you blood loss, he vaguely makes out Matt saying the name, Elliot. Elliot... is he here? Will he live?]

[He hears his name being called, and so he'll run on over. He makes a very worried face when he sees Derek bleeding out this way...oh, this was really bad.

But there wasn't any time to gawk. He's done healing enough times that the sight of all the blood won't stall him for long. Instead he's moving close to Derek's side, holding onto his staff as he begins to sing a simple melody.

As he sings, there's a glow around them and glowing feathers start to fall. With luck, the curse will be undone and Derek will start to heal up. Might not be a complete job in one go, but it's a good start]

[Li-Na follows Elliot, but stays back. Her part is done and there's not anything she can do to help at this point. So it's best to keep out the way.

But that is a worrying amount of blood.]

[Derek can feel his mind to clear. He cracks open his eyes and sees Elliot hovering over him, a staff in his hand, feathers around him, and... a song? This is strange magic, but he doesn't care. If this will prevent him from dying, then do what ever you want to him Elliot.

Breathing is starting to become easier. Derek opens his mouth to speak.]

T-thanks...

I think it's working. His bleeding sounds slower... Breathing is more stable.

[ He's not about to relax until they're well out of the woods though. Keep it up Ell. ]

[And Elliot will keep it up. He's glad to see Derek starting to breathe easier, and so he'll keep on singing.

He also hits his staff against the ground. It sounds out like a tuning fork and a golden light appears beneath Derek for a moment. He'll have regeneration power for a few minutes, to help speed the healing process along]

[Derek sees light coming out from under him. That's magic he's not familiar with. The sound the staff makes worries Derek. He knew he was badly injured, but just how intense of magic was Elliot needing to heal him? He just continues to remind himself that he's probably going to live now and he should be grateful for what ever method is being used to see that come to fruition. He just stay silent and lets Elliot do his thing.]
