After Limbo - patching up the wounded (open)
In the bathroom, Jenny tipped a bottle of hydrogen peroxide over her left shoulder and hissed when the cool fluid made contact with the jagged cut just out of her reach It was probably deep enough to need a couple of stitches and a blowtorch to kill the demon germs. Only the fastest and strongest demons managed to inflict damage on her before they were thrown back, the bloody bastards. There hadn’t been many, but it hurt. A lot.

As Excalibur didn’t have a medic or a healer, she debated her pitifully few options. A hospital, which would require full disclosure to treat her, the SHIELD medical office where she’d been treated before and who would know how to deal with her particular brand of weird, or one of her new teammates.

It was going to hurt anyway, and she could direct someone here on how to seal a measly little hole in her skin with SurgiSeal. She had a few tubes for personal use because it was the easiest way to seal cuts and nicks, especially with her brand of weird.

She eased into a robe and went looking for the nearest willing and able teammate.

	Leech was up and about. "Hi, Jenny." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Jenny stopped in the hall and smiled a little despite the pain. It was impossible not to smile. Leech seemed so calm all the time. "May I ask a favor? I need some patching up and I can't reach the spot. It's okay to say no if you'd rather not." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After going on thirty years of...well... being Leech, not much is going to break one's stride. "Sure, no problem. These things happen. Where would you be comfortable handling it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My room, if you don't mind. It's not in an embarrassing spot but I'd rather not have an audience." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods. "Okay, then." And he'll follow her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

In her room, she pushed the door to an almost-closed position and went to the dresser to pick up the tube of SurgiSeal and a pair of latex gloves. "I really appreciate it. My other option is to go to my doctor and she'd submit a report and then there would be questions of what could hit me hard enough to do this kind of damage..."

She offered the items to him with a rueful smile. "I think I got it cleaned enough, but if not I have more hydrogen peroxide." She paused. "Just move carefully and nobody will get hurt?"

	He listens and nods and takes them and puts the gloves on. "If it's a delicate situation, would it be best to just shut your abilities down for a while, or would that be uncomfortable for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She pulled the chair out from the vanity and sat down to lower the left shoulder of the robe, careful to keep everything else covered. An angry, jagged slice from a demon claw glowed just over her shoulder blade. "It should be okay. My abilities depend on motion. If you don't make any sudden moves or poke at me, it won't activate. If you have to, the response will be equal and opposite." She chuckled a bit. "I've memorized the doctor's terminology. It's never been shut down while I'm awake so I don't know what it would feel like."

	"Okay. Well, I'll just be careful." Leech winced a little at the injury. Leech has used the stuff before on one or two occasions, and so he delicately starts making sure the wound is clean before working on it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The doctor would put me under to stitch me up," Jenny continued, watching his face in the mirror. "I don't like the way it makes my head feel, and since I don't mind a few scars, this stuff is a godsend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I guess it would be. Sedation never really bothered me much," It was better than being kicked in the face to be knocked out, anyway. "But I can see how it might be. How much doctoring have you tended to need?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Not a lot since we moved to London. Cut myself with a knife a few times in the kitchen that needed stitches. Back in New York it was pretty bad when I was recovering from the accident. Physical therapy alone landed me in Medical at least once every other week." She resisted the urge to shrug. "I'd sometimes have nightmares while under sedation."

She changed the subject. "You're really good at this."

	Another sympathetic wince, and then, as he carefully uses the seal, "Used to help tape up my sisters when I was little; gotten occasional practice with friends over the years, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2010-05-17 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	"It's a good skill to have. My brother has me halfway to the doctor if I wake up cranky. Your sisters are lucky to have you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2010-05-17 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks, but I was lucky to have then," Leech says simply. "Almost set," he adds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Just hsving it taken care of was enough to relieve some of the pain. Aspirin would handle the rest. She smile at him in the mirror. "I owe you for the doctoring. Next drink at the pub is on me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2010-05-17 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll keep that in mind," he says cheerfully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She glanced over her shoulder at him. "You prefer the team support role?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2010-05-18 06:34 am UTC (link)
	He smiles. "Yeah, definitely." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jenny tilted her head back to get as good a look at the repair work as possible. It was a neat job and his touch was light. "I know who to ask for help the next time I need patching up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	icallnopowers 2010-05-18 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	A small smile. "Thanks." And since she's all set, he'll get up. "Anything you need, just let me know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2010-05-18 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	She pulled the robe back over her shoulder. "I will. Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)
