Continued from all this beauty
[He's had a pretty hard time stumbling around after his injury...but that doesn't really stop him. Whiny as he is, Badou had too much to do. Sure, he'd stayed mostly at home these past few days, but he's been very busy. No laying around, no unconsciousness for too long.
He's been developing the film he'd taken during the last job, carefully cultivated in the darkness of his nasty little bathroom, the chemicals would sting his nose if he wasn't used to this already.
So it's no surprise he's been so focused he's forgotten to do some stuff around the place, lately. And will probably not notice a new visitor in the form of his little old man buddy, either.]

Date: 2021-05-31 07:53 am (UTC)Woah man, you got him. We don't need any stray bullets hitting Five, Diego or Allison, okay? Save the rest in case we see the Handler.
[ He tells him as looks around and then heads for the path that looks like it will lead them toward the center of the warehouse. The Building is still shaking enough that dust and light debris starts raining down on them. Though Luther makes sure that Badou is still near enough that he can cover him in case the building really does go down.
Thankfully within minutes they make it toward the center of the warehouse. Luther stops in his tracks at seeing Five suspended in the air, dangling from a heavy duty chains, completely unconscious. Though with the amount of blood covering his face and chest, it is hard to know if he is just passed out. ]
Five!
[ He calls out, quickly moving toward him as Diego and Allison come into the area from the other opposite side. Allison immediately covers her mouth to hold in her gasp. ]
Is he...?
[ Diego asks as Luther reaches out to grab the chain holding Five with one hand, while his other hand moves to check for a pulse at Five's neck. ]
He's still alive.
[ He replies with a relieved sigh as he goes to tug on the chain to break it. ]

Date: 2021-06-01 04:23 am (UTC)finding Five is just....a relief and a screeching halt of any joy at once. is he even alive?? even once Luther checks his pulse and confirms he's still breathing, he looks awful. worse than a corpse.]
That bitch.... [he hisses with renewed ire. and if Vanya sees him any time soon, from what Badou knows he wouldn't blame her for leveling the entire place]
no subject
Date: 2021-06-01 05:50 am (UTC)Five, can you hear me?
[ She asks barely suppressing a sob. Diego looks as angry as Badou as he watches this unfold. Then his eyes fall toward the chair a short distance from where Five's eyeline was and sees Dolores. ]
That bitch sounds about right. Look who else is here.
[ Diego says as he points out Dolores to the others. Luther glances up with a frown as he adjusts Five's body in his arms to carry him with the least amount of jostling as possible as they don't know how bad his internal injuries may be. ]
One of you get her. He'll be beside himself, if she's not there when he wakes up.
[ Thankfully the building stops shaking which he hopes that means that either Klaus or Ben have told Vanya she can stop and no one else got the drop on her, while she was outside on her own. Klaus had promised he'd ask a ghost to keep watch on her just in case. ]

Date: 2021-06-01 07:07 am (UTC)so Badou grabs Dolores, slinging one of her stiff arms over his shoulders and trying to look casual. with a store mannequin in his arms.]
We gotta get outta here. Now. I don't wanna stick around to see if she'll find a new game.
[because that's all this was to her...a game. the sick, sick woman. none of these guys deserve to go through any of this...time to leave and lick their wounds clean.
Badou takes one cursory look at Five's face, but can't bring himself to approach. It's hard to see him like that.]
no subject
Date: 2021-06-01 08:25 am (UTC)I'll go to Vanya.
[ Diego glances over to Badou with Dolores and frowns a bit. ]
Make sure you take care of her. You know he'll be pissed if anything else happens to her.
[ He says before following after Allison, then Luther begins to walk toward the front entrance, he knows it is the clear path, since he and Badou cleared it. ]
Stay close, Badou. If he wakes up on the way out. I don't want him to panic for Dolore's safety.
no subject
Date: 2021-06-02 02:59 am (UTC)no, he can't think that. he curls Dolores a little tighter and follows closely at Luther's heels. While he doesn't hear anything, or see anything....anything could happen, too.]
no subject
Date: 2021-06-02 08:41 am (UTC)I got you, Five. It's okay.
[ Luther speaks, keeping a firm grip on his tiny brother's battered body. He tries to speak but his throat is both dry and raw from the workout he has been put through. So he settles for one hand moving to grip Luther's shirt, trying desperately to tug at it with little strength he has left. Luther looks down at his brother's face. ]
We got Dolores too. She's safe.
[ Five's breath shudders with relief as he falls unconscious again, his grip on Luther's shirt going slack. Luther frowns, but he can feel that Five is still breathing as he makes it back toward the cars with Badou close behind him. The moment the cars are in sight, Vanya and Allison run over to them. Vanya definitely looks as though she's caught between her anger and grief. She looks toward the warehouse, her eyes turning white as the ground starts shaking again. ]
Vanya don't! I know your angry but we don't have time for this. We need to get him home, so Mom can take care of his injuries.
[ Vanya inhales sharply as she nods her agreement, the color returning to her eyes. Luther begins heading toward the car he drove in as Allison and Vanya follow him. ]
Hey Badou, ride shotgun with Dolores. Allison and Vanya can sit in the back with Five.
[ Luther tells him as Allison gets into the backseat first and then Luther gently as possible places Five into the backseat, resting his head into her lap as Vanya climbs in after, moving to place Five's legs across her lap. Luther immediately slides into the driver's seat as Diego, Klaus and Ben pull out first to get to the Academy to make sure that Grace has everything prepared for Five's imminent arrival. ]
no subject
Date: 2021-06-02 10:20 pm (UTC)when they get back to the car Badou doesn't waste time getting into the passenger seat with Dolores, once again not wanting to look back at the distressed, yet slack look on Five's face, the distressed and furious looks on his sisters' faces.
it's time to get out of here, to start the healing process...for Badou to make himself scarce while hovering, somehow. at least until he knows Five'll make it.]

Date: 2021-06-05 06:18 am (UTC)Vanya frowned as she noticed the bloody uppercase H shape carved into his chest among all the bruises covering his torso. His poor skin looking absolutely battered as it looked like more bruises were blossoming underneath the slightly older ones. If she ever saw the woman responsible for this, she was definitely going to kill her, no hesitation or second thoughts. ]
What's this?
[ Allison asks, taking note of the metal collar clinging to Five's neck. The skin underneath it was also raw and looked scorched and bruised. Gently her fingers skirted over the metal until she found the mechanism to unlock from his neck. Five let out a groan as she slowly removed it and looked it over with an expression caught between horrified and anger.]
Is that a shock collar?
[ Vanya asks with an equally horrified expression on her face. ]
Toss it in case it has a tracker or bug on it.
[ Luther tells Allison as he glances into the rearview mirror, his grip on the wheel tightening as he accelerates the car in that much more of a hurry to get Five back to Grace. ]

Date: 2021-06-05 07:15 am (UTC)he...hadn't known it was that bad, he had a feeling it'd be bad but...man. he takes a deep, shuddering breath and cracks the window a little]
Don't let up, but don't put your foot through the car. [this he directs to Luther.]
no subject
Date: 2021-06-05 10:15 am (UTC)[ Luther says a bit annoyed as he turns his eyes to the road, making sure he doesn't get into any accidents. Though admittedly Five's condition has him worried.
Allison does as told tossing the collar out the window, before returning to comforting a semi unconscious Five. Lightly brushing her fingers through his sweat matted hair, while softly shhing the groans that come out of him.
Thankfully it isn't much longer before the street leading to the main comes into view. The mansion that spans a city block looming in the not too far distance.]

Date: 2021-06-06 05:27 am (UTC)If he need a blood transfusion it is probably going to be one of you two who has to give it. Since I'm not a viable donor and Diego is still horrible with needles.
[ Luther tells Vanya and Allison as he gently picks Five back up and clutches toward his chest again. ]
Of course!
[ Vanya blurts out as Allison nods her agreement, whatever was needed to save their brother's life. The both slide out of the car, one Luther has Five in his arms again. Everyone is quick to follow after Luther as he takes Five into the house and rushes him upstairs to the infirmary. As soon as he makes it inside, Grace directs him to place Five on the examination table so she can get started treating his wounds. The first thing she does is set up his IV ad then she's putting the various monitoring machines on him.
She shoos everyone out but tells Allison, Vanya and Diego to stay close by in case they are needed as donors for transfusions later. All there is to do now is wait and see what happens.]
