[Video | Filtered but not locked] The return

[Woo comes on, showing Jendayi sitting in a hospital bed. For those that know...she shouldn't be alive. Yet here she is, looking uncertain and confused.]

[Woo will ping Lea, but she doesn't have him lock the feed...she doesn't really think to, ah well.]

Lea? I want to come home now. [She's been told she's we'll enough to if she wants, and she certainly does.]

[Woo then pings Drift and Jetstorm.]

Jetstorm? Drift? Thank you for helping me. I...I'm okay. [If you were wondering.]

[And finally Woo pings Gunmax.]

Gunmax...? Are...are you okay? [She...never saw what happened to you...]

[That nod is all Lea needs. The feed ends there, but he makes it to the hospital in record time. He might even be a little out of breath when he gets to Jendayi's room. No he didn't run most of the way here and get glared at by a couple of nurses for running in the halls, why do you ask?

He approaches Jendayi's bed at a more normal pace however, not wanting to scare the kid. Or wake up and find that he's actually dreaming.]

Jendayi...

Lea!

[She's on her feet and about leaps off the bed and into his arms. Hope you're ready for that...]

[Lea is, and catches her easily hugging, her tight.]

I'm sorry, Jendayi. I'm sorry. I thought you'd be safe! I didn't think...

[He trails off, unable to continue. He'd thought she'd be safe with his fireproof black coat. He didn't think about debris.

He'd messed up. Again. And once again, someone else had paid for it.]

...I'm sorry.

[She shakes her head, face tucked to his neck.] It's not your fault.

[He chuckles slightly, but it sounds sad.]

You sure about that? Seems like people I care about keep getting hurt cause of my screw ups. Starting to wonder if I'm a jinx, or something.

It’s not your fault. [Said a little more insistently, limbs squeezing around him a little tighter.] You did what you could to protect me, I know that. It’s not your fault.

[Lea wishes he could be convinced so easily. Still, he gets the message. Not wanting to upset Jendayi further, he relents, sitting down on the edge of the bed to just hold her tight for a little while.]

...Man, I missed you, Jen.

[Leans down to place a kiss on top of her head.]

And I'm so, so glad you're OK. I about lost it when I heard what happened.

[She suddenly relaxes in his arms, as though that kiss completely melted away all her worries, fears, and traumas. She can’t honestly say she “missed” him, because she doesn’t remember being....]

[But she can say this.]

I love you.

[Lea gives a small, soft smile as Jendayi relaxes in his arms and takes a deep breath or to help settle himself.]

Love you too, Jen.

[He's not sure how or when it started, but he does. And frankly it's kind of scary.]

...And I don't think I'll be letting you out of my sight for awhile.

[Somehow he doubted Jendayi will have any objections just now.]

[She tucks a little closer.] I think I’m okay with that. Maybe we can make something yummy to eat...and you can read me a story?

That sounds like a plan to me. I'll make hamburger, then I'll read you a story. I even know the perfect one. It's called "The Wizard of Oz"; it's all about a little girl who rides a whirlwind to a magical land and has all sorts of adventures.

That sound good to you?

[She grins and nods]

Yes, that sounds great.

Can I help cook?

Sure. I'll handle the actual cooking, but you can help me make the patties.

[Because every kid knows that mooshing up hamburger meat is fun.]

Okay! [And she’ll catch and hug his hand to her chest as she heads with him to the kitchen.]

And I think we can wrap this one up in a few tags. :3

And I think we can call this a wrap unless Lea wants to respond one more time.
