Beach | Late Morning

[firehousehimbo]

So after the Snake Incident, both Buck and Eddie were not exactly chomping at the bit to hang out back at the station. So a walk around the island it was, looking for sus things. The last time it happened they ran into a half-dead teenager, which had been an interesting change of pace.

What were the odds of that happening twice?

It seemed super unlikely to happen again.

"You know, maybe we should make this a regular occurrence," Eddie suggested.

[firehousehimbo]

"What, walks on the beach?" How romantic.

[justalittlerepressed]

"Patrols," Eddie said, rolling his eyes. "But, yeah. Walks on the beach are kind of nice."

SO ROMANTIC.

[firehousehimbo]

"You just don't want to run into anymore snakes," Buck teased.

[justalittlerepressed]

"It was a very big snake!"

[firehousehimbo]

"It was!" Buck agreed. "But what's the likelihood of two of those big boys being in there?"

[apocalypsehow]

Well, what were the odds of a second half-dead teenager falling from the sky?

Because there was an amorphous blue blob of light before Five appeared above them, falling to the ground with a thump. "Ow."

[firehousehimbo]

"What--again?!" At least this one came from a less gross portal.

[justalittlerepressed]

"You jinxed us," Eddie said, taking in all the blood splatter and then the whole missing arm thing and digging into his bag already for gloves and other supplies.

[firehousehimbo]

At least this time they brought equipment!

"It looks like he has a tourniquet," Buck said, holding his hand out for gloves. "That puts him ahead of the last kid."

[justalittlerepressed]

"It's not a competition," Eddie said, passing them along to Buck and leaning in to check on their new patient. "But missing a limb beats it if it was."

[firehousehimbo]

Why was this kid in a suit? Did he get his arm chopped off at a funeral or something?

"Hey, kid," Buck said, raising his voice in case the boy felt like passing out from blood loss. "Can you tell us how long you've had this tourniquet on?"

[apocalypsehow]

Yeah, but Five still had enough energy to grab Buck by the collar and haul himself up into an half sitting position. "Where is my family?" he demanded.

[firehousehimbo]

"Whoa!" This one was feisty for someone missing a limb. "Just calm down, okay? We don't know where you family is, but you need a doctor."

[apocalypsehow]

Robotic mama didn't raise no quitter!

"I need to find my family," Five snapped, deciding this two (handsome, very handsome) idiots weren't worth his time and attempted to teleport back to the Hotel Oblivion.

And landed in a pile about two feet away instead because, you know, blood loss.

[firehousehimbo]

Buck looked from where the kid had been, then over at where he was currently bleeding out and then back again, staring at Eddie wide-eyed. "That's a new one for me."

[justalittlerepressed]

Eddie gave him a very similar look back at that. And mouthed the word 'what' before kicked back into EMT mode. "C'mon, we need to get him to the clinic before he does whatever that was again.

Just be glad no errant limbs were falling from the sky, guys.

[firehousehimbo]

If the arm had teleported too they might have been able to put it back on!

"Yeah," Buck agreed, moving to follow Eddie back to the kid. "Do you have anything to calm him down in there?"

The kid looked like a biter.

[justalittlerepressed]

Which meant the arm wouldn't. Purely out of spite.

"Yeah, let me just--" He pushed open the kid's eyes to check for any signs he was on something that could mix poorly. "Second pouch on the right of the bag."

Time to drug up a mystery kid to haul him to the clinic!

[firehousehimbo]

"Got it." It was hard to tell if the tourniquet was doing it's job; the kid's sleeve was so blood soaked, so even without the biting hazard it was probably best to keep him from panicking and bleeding even more.

"Okay," Buck said. "How do we want to do this?"

[justalittlerepressed]

"We really need to start bringing a stretcher with us," Eddie said with a little sigh. "He's not as big as the last guy, so maybe we just carry him?"

Bridal style.

[firehousehimbo]

"Yeah. Yeah, I've got him." Especially now that he was sedated and couldn't bite him. "You, uh, hold up what's left of his arm and keep it elevated."

[justalittlerepressed]

"Got it." They were going to look amazing entering the clinic like this.
