[POST-RAID ORP] Bloody But Victorious!

[Blood_Goddess]

(This ORP is open to all Rockets stationed at the new HQ!)

New base or old base, news spread just as quickly through these shiny cleans halls as they did the other familiar ones.
The mission team had returned! and with a full body legendary in toe! Though as they returned the number of injured among them was an surprisingly larger count then many other raids had seen, with nearly every single rocket suffering from some pretty nasty inflictions.

Each one of them was rushed to the medical wing where over teh next few hours were given the treatment and rest that they needed before visitors were announced to be open, or the Rockets from the mission that were able to leave, were permitted to leave the infirmary.

Rocket was finally getting back into fighting shape, as they had just started getting settled into the new head quarters, they had announced the newest mission that would be going after a legendary in one of the smaller islands.

It felt nice knowing that Rocket was getting back into the groove of things, but Faleen had enough to worry about without going on the mission herself.
She had a lot of work to do in robotics, that included getting everything set up and organized, but to know that her partner was going on this mission without her...
She knew this was going to be a good experience for him, and a chance for him to prove that he could preform well, but it was also a chance for him to mess up.

She did her best not to think about it, reassured that she would get a full report from the Agents involved, but as the Rockets in the base were then permitted to visit the returning mission members, Faleen made her way toward the infirmary to check the medical status of Izaya.

Agent Faleen's partner wasn't all that bad off, especially compared to the others on the mission. Mostly he was angry he'd been knocked out by something (or someone) in the chaos shortly after Riviere's illusion had dropped. It'd meant he'd been virtually useless for the majority of the battle and he hadn't even caught a glimpse of the dark-type legendary.

Staring up at the ceiling, he tried to think over what little he did remember, especially in the aftermath, when Faleen's footsteps were heard outside. He worried he didn't have enough to give a satisfactory report.

The first thing Zacharie noticed was the pain.
Pain everywhere, there wasn't a single place on his body that did not hurt though his ribs and his back had noticeably more pain than anywhere else.
The second thing he noticed was that he was in a bed rather than sprawled across the pavement.

The teen cracked his eyes open only to snap them closed, the light of the room too bright for him. Hey, the last time his eyes had been open he'd been staring at a death bird just before it tried to kill everyone. That was a long time for your eyes to be closed! He let out a pained breath through his nose as he tried to get himself to relax.  

[lZAYA ORlHARA]

"Hey, look who's alive," Nakura said as he looked over from his seat next to some of the beds. The sound of Zacharie's pained, irregular breath had caught his attention.

Nakura himself only had a gash on his leg that had been patched up with some stitches, so he insisted he hadn't needed a bed of his own. Still he remained in the infirmary, watching over the others for when they woke. "How was your first big mission, Zachie-chan?"  

[insidiousEnigma]

Was that person talking to him? Oh...apparently so.

"...Stupid." He wheezed, turning his face towards the sound of Izaya's voice (Of course he knew it was Izaya, who else called him Zachie-chan?), but didn't open his eyes. It was too bright, he didn't want to deal with having his eyes adjust. His right hand twitched slightly as he attempted to lift it to his injured ribs but he was just too tired to get it to move.

Xander hadn't been hurt at all but still had been given a post-mission check up just in case. After that he had hung around the infirmary to keep up to date on the others on the mission.

Waking up was a long process thanks to whatever he'd been given for the pain. He remembered waking up a few times, though he couldn't recall what anyone had said to him, or anything he'd said to anybody. Lu let out a low groan as he came to again, rolling his head to the side as he woke. Blinking open his eyes, he looked over the infirmary drowsily.

...Oh, good. Zacharie was alive! He spotted others, but didn't think it wise to sit up and look around for a head count. "S'everyone okay..?" he mumbled, looking in Zacharie's general direction but aiming the question at whoever would answer him. He didn't bother trying to look himself over just yet, though if he had he'd find his ankle and foot were enclosed in a cast. The cut on his abdomen throbbed dully, giving him another reason not to move unless absolutely necessary.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Faleen wasn't the only one with the idea of visiting other Rockets int he infirmary, From what she was told they would all be healing and resting in one room.

She bumped into Agent Jerome along with way, greeting him politely along with another Grunt who was joining the Agent.
his reply, was as simple and almost curt as ever.

Gray boots carried the Agent into the room that the mission Rockets were kept in, she scanned the number of them hurt, before hazel eyes located the one she was looking for.
She walked over, holding her comment as he seemed to be in conversation with Zacharie who was laying next to him.
Instead she stopped by the foot of his bed and folded her hands behind her back, glancing over at Zacharie.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Z Main!" The cry of a Legendary's voice resonated as the tiny blue Jirachi floated past Jerome, Ryan, Jaime and Jamee who entered the room a short way after Faleen.
Tremain zipped right up to where Zacharie was laying, hovering directly over the Grunt before his mouth fell open "Yoooooo mayn ya look like s**t"


"Aight aight T- don't look like anyone got off easy th's time." Jerome said walking over to the side of Zacharie's bed, though a grimace on his face showed that he wasn't expecting Zacherie to be this bad off.
"Yo. How ya feelin'" He asked, glancing around the room as well, first to Kyle, then back to Izaya who was to his back.
"Man all a ya."  

[lZAYA ORlHARA]

"Glad to know your snarkiness is still intact," the man answered with a smile audible in his voice. "Ah ah ah...you probably don't want to move just yet. Good job, though - I heard you were very useful."

Glancing over at the sound of Lu's voice, he gave a curt laugh. "Depends on what you mean by 'okay'," he replied. "We're all alive, at least. That's something."

Catching sight of Faleen out the corner of his eye, he force a brief smile before wincing at the sound of Tremain's voice. Damn that Jirachi...

"Hello, Agent Jerome," Nakura said almost emotionlessly, raising a hand in response to the dark Rocket. "Agent Faleen. I think these guys can probably answer your question better than I can."  

[Blood_Goddess]

Kyle had not say a word after he had woken up, the grogginess from whatever drugs they had given him, slowly his consciousness started to return, and the more it did the more the man's face started to dawn a very real shock and bewilderment and slowly to a silent side eyed horror.

A slight movement by his bed didn't even draw his wide yellow eyes away from the ceiling until a voice spoke to him.
"That rough huh?"

The familiar tone jerked Kyle back to earth with a hiss of pain, tensing again before he lowered himself back into a forced relaxed. finding his partner standing by him with a searching look in his eyes as he looked his fellow grunt over.

Kyle remained silence for a long time after Ryan had spoken, the sound of other parties around them speaking quietly to one another, he picked up the mellow growl of Jerome's voice, and the tones of Izaya, the harsh pain from Zacharie...

"I don't understand..." Kyle started in a voice more like a whisper "How I'm still alive."  

[insidiousEnigma]

Zacharie found the will to grunt a curt sound of affirmation in regards to Lu's question and could only manage to roll his eyes behind his eyelids at Izaya's comment. He most certainly didn't feel okay but he was alive and that was all that mattered. The teen lay limply against the pillows beneath him, almost drifting back off to sleep, before a high voice nearly gave him a heart attack.

Pale eyes snapped open in alarm as a strangled, pained grunt slipped past his lips. Once his eyes were forcefully adjusted he peered tiredly up at Tremain, a slight frown tugging at the corners of his lips. "I..." He sucked in a breath through his nose only to cough as his lung suddenly felt like it was exploding. "...can imagine." He wheezed once he'd managed to catch his breath, his gaze flickering over to Jerome. "I've been better." He shrugged slightly.  

[Blood_Goddess]

"About your condition?" Faleen inquired, both her eyebrows arching with a light breath "I wasn't aware they would know how you are feeling better then yourself?"

She knew exactly what he was talking about it, and the expression she wore would tell Izaya as much.  

[lZAYA ORlHARA]

Snickering a bit at Zacharie's reaction, Nakura seemed to take some solace in knowing he wasn't the only one bothered by the psychic/steel-type's shrill telepathic voice.

"What Kyle-kun said is probably the most accurate response," he told Jerome. "In regards to what the team went through." Gingerly pushing himself to his feet, he grabbed a cane that leaned against the chair and turned to Faleen. "Shall we leave these people in peace? Maybe talk outside...? If you came to talk, that is."  

[Venti Mico]

"Oh, that's good..." Lu said, sighing in relief. Well, given his own state, Lu didn't think anyone was really 'okay', but alive was definitely good. He hoped no one was maimed badly enough being dead would be better than in the infirmary... That'd be bad. Real bad. So bad that Lu would rather face the legendaries again and try to not... no, alright. The more he thought about it, the less willing he'd be to ever try something like that ever again in his entire career. Ever. Forever. Forever and ever.

...Oh, right, there were people around. Lu blinked a few times to break his little space cadet moment. "Did we get the Keldeo, too..?" He asked again, looking off in Izaya's direction since Zacharie seemed busy with his visitors. Lu's only friend was stuck in a bed too, so he wasn't expecting anyone to show up for him.
