[RAID] Tricksters in the Dark

[LexThetaSigma]

Though Rory was somewhat thankful Aulus had come over there, he couldn't help but feel protective over the grunt he was watching over. Rory attempted to grin at Aulus' comment. "We all know how well those things work. You'll be fine."

Rory turned his head to look around. "Someone might want to walk along side Xander, just in case," he mentioned, spotting the other agent on the back of the Arcanine. "If you can get her pokemon back in their balls, I can take her." Probably not his best idea, but he would ignore the throbbing in his back for now if it meant they all got out of there.

Then Harvard came over, While Tambrey explained the situtation, Rory managed to get the pokeballs off and recalled Treestar before handing them to Aulus. He put one arm under Tambrey's knees and the other under her neck to lift her up.

He could feel his shoulder complaining and had a feeling there would be more blood soaking through his shirt from it. He gave a small smile and shook his head as he got ready to follow the rest of the team.

And she'd been worried about him.

"We'll get you all back to base and treated as quickly as possible," Harvard said to Tambrey in her own form of reassurance. She eyed Rory as he picked up his teammate, not entirely convinced he was in the best shape to be doing so but not saying anything against it. Their mission was over and she'd trust him to know his own limits for now. If it came down to it, she still had Pokemon in reserve who could lend a hand in getting them out.

As for Aulus, she let him go do his own thing. If words were needed in regards to his behavior, she'd have them later.

After seeing to it that Jerome was alright and ready to go, Yale would wander back over to his owner. He raised a hand in concern as Harvard fished out an adhesive patch, meaning her shoulder wound was left to bleed freely for that short moment. Harvard waved him off, however, and reached down through the neck hole of her top to stick the bandage over it. Good enough.

"Time to go, everyone. Move out!" Taking a moment to blink away the spots that had begun to form, she released Stanford again, ensured he was well enough to act as an additional scout, and set off leading the group out and back to the helicopter. The entire way, Yale wavered back and forth between making sure Xander stayed safely up on the Arcanine as instructed, and staying by Harvard's side. The Rockets from before met them outside, and with the help of them and Stephen (who kept glancing back in the direction of the cave as if waiting for something to burst out after them), the Pokemon that weren't immediately needed were recalled, and everyone would be loaded into the helicopter and on their way back to the base before the sun was up.
