*I almost smile when I take Red from him, though my relief at finding her alive is dampened by my realization of how thin she is, and the pain that shoots across my back when I wrap my arms around her. I'm not even tempted to set her down, though. I turn and start back to the stage, knowing the others will follow*

*I instantly relax when Gear passes me to Max. I trust the killjoys, well the group I am with at least, but with Max it is not the same. We have reached a different type of understanding, a silent one. I wonder what happened to Max, but I trust he will tell me in time. I try to put my arm around Max the way I did with Gear, but when I reach back my hand touches something wet and I pull back to see my hand partially covered in blood. I look up at him then back at the door. Jump needs to see him as soon as possible. Why is he even holding me?*

*I get tired of waiting almost as soon as Gear and Red disappear through the door, but make myself wait another few seconds* All right, that's long enough. I don't hear fighting, so I'm assuming it worked. Let's follow, shall we?
*I lead the way to the theater, joining Gear just through the doorway, and as my eyes adjust to the darkness I see someone that can only be Max, heading back to the stage with Red* What's wrong with his back? *I whisper to Gear, but he just shrugs. It looks like he really does need Jump.*

*More people enter the theatre and I keep my guard up. Its been a rough week especially with sarah and the others around. Then i notice its Arson and I lower it and laugh*
haha Arson! It's been a while. Nice to see some familiar faces. That aren't trying to kill me that is.
So I see you guys got out of the city alright. Last time i saw you we were leaving and we were going in haha.

*I can't help but grin when I see Poison* It's great to see you again! And in one piece, too! You should have radioed sooner and let us know you were still kicking! And yeah, we got out alright. Most of us, anyway. *My smile fades when I'm reminded that Retro's still there, and I know I'll have to tell Poison soon. He needs to know... but maybe not quite yet. It can wait at least a few minutes.*
*The others file in out of the hot sun, and I step to the side to make room* So, Poison, not that I'm complaining - it's good to help whoever needs it - but I have to ask. Why are you helping Max, of all people? I mean, if there's anyone you have a right to hold a grudge against, it's the guy who got you killed.

*I think about her question and look over to max who seems to have not have heard the question*
I don't really know. At first I didn't know it was him. I was just helping out anybody who needed help. Like the good old days when everyone looked after each other and nobody was cast to the desert or forced to take pills.
I realized it was him... halfway through our conversation though. He talked very little, same clothes but raggidy and burned, and no mask. I could've killed him... but i didn't. And now looking at him with Red... I'm glad. Nobody has the right to tear you away from your loved ones. I should know.
Besides, he may be able to help me. I've got something I need to do. And to do it, I'm going to need to know everything going on in the city and everyone in it. He doesn't usually talk to people so he's probably the one who's noticed the most.
*I had gradually gotten more tense and serious during the conversation and found myself rolling my hands into a fist. I look at arson, take a deep breath and laugh a little as I reposition the goggles on my head.*
I've missed you guys.
*I lean over and give her a quick hug.*

*I wave at Poison when we enter, he seems to have recovered nicely, and head over to Max. PB follows close behind and I know he's there less to be my assistant and more to point a gun if he has to. I have to admit, this time I don't think he's overreacting*
*When I get closer, though, I see that we don't have much to worry about. As dangerous as Max is, he looks like he's been through enough to be dead already, and that's just considering the new wounds. The burns on his back are black and necrotic already. I'll have to clean them out before I do anything else. I also want to get as many water and electrolytes into him as he'll let me. I can see from his flushed face that's Max is severely dehydrated*
Max? *I say to his back* Hi, I'm the doctor, Jump, and this is my brother, PB. I'd like to treat your wounds if you'll let me.

(Dear Lord, I suck for being away for so long... in a nutshell, what's going on? And can we pretend that my characters were just really, really, REALLY tired? XD)

*I wave back at jump as he walks in and tends to max. Good to see him again. I should thank him for taking care of me last time... *
*I turn to arson again*
So what's been going on out there? I've been helping Blaze rescue Cat. Luckily we're all safe now.

*I return the hug, then turn to watch Jump* Asking Max for information? Good luck with that... and as for your mission, or whatever it is, you know I'll help however I can.
Cat needed rescuing? Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you got her out okay. We went on a rescue mission of our own, a few days ago. *I pause, not wanting to talk about it. The others have moved off, though, so it's a bit easier. I bet Gear would be happy I was saying something.*
We went in for Retro, and came out with Red instead. Retro... didn't want to come. *I don't go into any details about that last conversation; I know Poison will fill in the gaps.*

*I hear the killjoys approach me from behind, but ignore them until I set Red down in one of the cushioned theater seats. If Wilson had anything to do with her condition, he'll have hell to pay. I turn to face the medic, recognizing the twins from when I found Red in Oregon. I nod once, then take a seat on the stage, turning my back to them. I don't particularly want to be surrounded by so many killjoys while I'm being treated, but I don't know if I'd be allowed to leave the room. I know /I/ wouldn't let me, if I were in the killjoy's position.*

*I Look at the door and see the ghost image of Retro popping in with a mug of coffee and a zeno's zappers head, laughing and stumbling around
"Hey guys, Look what we found! haha!"
The image disappears and there is nothing but the tattered door and us. Again. *
Sylvia Main has returned to Battery City. Its a hard thing... living out here. Who could blame her. I just hope she always remembers who her friends are.
*I sip my coffee and put it down.*
Thanks, Arson. For everything.

*I glance at Red, feeling awkward. Red just stares back with this 'well, make it better already' look. I take a deep breath* Do you want to find a side room for privacy? I'll have to give you a full examination and your back alone will take at least twenty minutes to half and hour. I don't know much about you, Max, but today you are my patient. I just want to treat you, ask Red
