MCA #9 | Tuesday Evening
Annie was laying on her couch and - okay, she was not reading the crappy vampire book, because she'd gotten so bored that she'd actually picked up her phone, but it was close enough that she could pretend that's what she was doing.
Instead, she'd started googling around and trying to figure out what else was popular here that they didn't have back home, because it couldn't just be sexy vampires.
"What on earth is with these little, like, pills in overalls?" she wondered (aloud, to her empty apartment, yes.) Because they were everywhere and seemed to have little attitudes and she did not get it at all.
[for one! eta: also getting NWS, proceed at your own risk]

He walked in, trying to be as casual as possible while holding a crushed box of donuts and looking like he had been in a firefight.
"Heeeeeeeey."
no subject
Okay, the casual thing had lasted about a whole second and a half before Annie was leaping up off the couch and hurrying over to him, so that was something?

No, he had bled, Annie, it was past tense so it was fine.
no subject
no subject
It didn't matter if it was past tense blood!
no subject
Only just a bit!
"I brought you donuts?"
no subject
The donuts could wait. (Look how much she cared about you, Diego! She was ignoring the donuts for now!)
no subject
Yeah, that was who you wanted to listen to for medical advice.
no subject
Annie needed to calm down and choose an activity, here.
no subject
"Yeah, I think I can, it's just the one arm," he said, unhooking the now mostly-empty knife harness. "We're not going to the hospital."
That's where needles lived.
no subject
Annie finally did as her narrative told, though she was clearly very reluctant to leave him long enough to go retrieve it. "Look, if you need stitches, we have to go to a hospital."
Or maybe the clinic? The most notice she'd taken of the clinic had been when she had memorized its location in case she needed to take someone there for alcohol poisoning the night of her party, because Annie was responsibly irresponsible, thank you.
no subject
Still, there was a wound where the bullet grazed him and it was wide enough where the skin wasn't going to be held together with a simple band-aid. "Do you have glue or anything?"
no subject
All she had was Modge Podge in the back of a closet, anyway, leftover from a day when she'd ambitiously decided to try to start being a crafty person and then immediately abandoned that idea within hours.
no subject
Look, if he really had to he would get stitches. However there was no guarantee he wouldn't throw up and pass out once a needle came in view.
no subject
She didn't know a ton about normal-people injuries, but it didn't look like he was going to bleed out or anything, so he was allowed to talk without getting shouted at for now. For now.
no subject
"They came in and said I should leave with them and I politely disagreed," he continued. "So a fight broke out and Five and I handled it."
Mostly Five handled it.
no subject
It was probably going to hurt a lot worse to close him up, however that was going to happen. (She might have a needle and thread somewhere around here? But that seemed like an incredibly stupid idea.)
no subject
no subject
"How so?" she wondered, getting close to the bullet wound (calling it a graze did not help, no) and illuminating one of her hands for extra light, just to see if there was glass in it or anything. "I mean, if he's as old as he says he is, he probably does a lot of stuff different than he used to."
no subject
"Yeah, I guess," he said. "I don't know, it was very...brutal."
Something was holding him back from going into detail about it. Maybe it was a weird protection thing since Annie was a superhero and Five quite possibly killed the guy who shot him.
(There was a chance that guy survived, right? Right?)
no subject
She had an idea about how to treat the gunshot wound, thanks to how she was using her hand for light, but since it wasn't bleeding she was going to give it a second. Maybe he'd come around on the hospital thing in that time.
no subject
"Uh I doubt they're not going to bother me again." If anything they were more pissed off. "It was brutal in a stab a guy in the neck with a butter knife, break another guy's neck sort of way?"
Don't arrest his brother, Annie. He didn't understand how to dispose of bad guys in a CBS-friendly way like Danny and Steve.
no subject
That was actually sort of impressive, Five. Also, gross, but in an impressive way? "And that's - not how it was when you were kids?"
