It took a moment, since Alexander was so weak, but she appeared. Her eyes widen at her friend. The Aussie looks at the boy beside her friend. "Please tell me he didn't use the soldiers of the dead!" She says, hurrying towards them, her braid waving frantically behind her. Her eyes scan over him. "Alexander is fading fast… We need to get him out of here fast." She lifts Alexander carefully and nods to Blue. "Get his other side." She orders.
Blue struggled, but helped lift Alexander. He fingers quivered slightly but he held strong, “Where do we go?”
The angel had dispatched of some of the invaders by the time the others joined in. Waves, and an army of the dead smashed into the enemy force, and Jophiel had used up all his knives, and now resorted to taking on the enemy with their own weapons, which, given his angelic intelligence, he'd already figured out how to use.
Still…
The Aussie takes a breath, "We just need to find some temporary shelter." She says, shrugging lightly. For a ghost she was pretty strong.
“Maybe by that alley,” Blue said, nodding his head to an alley that was mostly untouched by the chaos. He sent a wave at more incoming soldiers to clear a path.
Izzy nods. "That works." She says, lugging Alexander's body. "Why do you care so much about this boy?" She asks curiously, glancing at the other with an eyebrow raised.
Blue was caught off guard for a moment, but replied when they got to the quieter alley, “I-“ Gosh, what was he supposed to say? That he had a tiny crush on him? That Alexander treated him really nice? He opened his mouth awkwardly again, “He helped me before it all went to chaos, and…” Blue trailed off. What if Izzy told Alexander that Blue liked him once he woke? Blue was about to say something else, but then his eyes snapped back to Alexander, “Wait, he’s going to be okay, right?”
She chuckles, watching the other struggle for an answer. She glances at Alexander. "He'll be alright as long as we get him to shelter. He needs water but he should be okay." She says, glancing at the other male. "Whatever the case… He must like you a lot in order for him to use the summoning the dead trick… He's lucky he's alive."
Blue summoned water, but he was more focused on what Alexander had done and exclaimed, “I specifically told him not to hurt himself!” But then Blue replayed Izzy’s sentence in his head and asked hopefully yet cautiously, “Wait- Did you say he likes me?”
"if he uses that trick, consider yourself one hell of a lucky man." The Aussie replies, her eyes set forward. "He only does it for the people he loves most." She answers. Izzy grunts. "Almost there Alex… Hang in there."
Blue took a moment to process it, blinking once, then twice. But he needed to focus on helping Alexander. He scrambled to pick up an almost-broken ceramic bowl that had fallen at some point. He rinse it with his powers before filled it up with clean water, “Here.”
But Blue couldn’t help the flutter in his stomach as he looked at Alexander’s unconcious, beautiful face. Only for the people he loves most, the words repeated in Blue’s mind.
(Got to get to bed, see you later :)
(Okie)
Izzy takes the water and gently places it to Alexander's lips. "C'mon Alex… Drink…" The male groans softly, somewhat concious as he allows the water to fall down his throat. He was slowly starting to solidify again.
The angel approaches Izzy and Alexander.
"I sent those invaders packing." He said.
"Anything I can do to help?"
Izzy looks up. "All he can do at the moment is rest…" She says softly. "He can't fight like this… He'll die." She glances at the other. "I can only stay in this world for so long." She mutters.
(I'm so behind. Did anything major happen that I should know about?)
The angel walks over, placing a hand on Alexander's head, sedating him, and soothing him. He didn't have enough units to heal him effectively, so this would have to do.
(Nothing, the two sides are still at stalemate. You're good.)
(Cool.)
Zhavia, walked the streets stepping over bodies of both parties. "They are a lot stronger then I thought." This wasn't going to turn out well. She was strong, but couldn't underestimate her enemy. Once she was out of view of her people she crouched down and hid her face. "I don't want to do this, I almost died early. I don't want to die."
"Is that so?" The angel asked from a rooftop, facing the alien woman.
Immediately she pulled out her sword and stumbled back. "What, come to kill me? Well, I'm ready." She was panting and her injuries were hurting. "I'm not weak!" She yelled standing up. Her head was now spinning and it was hard to keep balance.
Alexander coughs loudly, heaving as he slowly opened his eyes. He groans softly. He sees Izzy and Blue sitting over him. "Oh thank God…" He mutters softly. "You okay, Blue? Izzy?" His voice is raspy. Izzy gently hands him a bowl of water which he gladly drinks.
Blue stared at Alexander in front of him, awake and okay. As soon as he put down the bowl in front of him, Blue threw his arms around him, gently enough to not hurt him, but tight enough to show Blue’s worry. The adrenaline completely collapsed and Blue started crying into Alexander’s shoulder.
Alexander starts in surprised when Blue hugs him. When the other starts to cry Alexander gently hugs him back, rubbing soothing circles on his back. "Easy there. Easy." He says softly, hugging the other tightly. "I've got you."
“I killed people,” Blue cried into Alexander’s shirt, so it came out slightly muffled, “I’m a murderer.”
Immediately she pulled out her sword and stumbled back. "What, come to kill me? Well, I'm ready." She was panting and her injuries were hurting. "I'm not weak!" She yelled standing up. Her head was now spinning and it was hard to keep balance.
"Yo, angel dude, whatcha go- Oh cmon, can't we catch a break around her!" She cried out in annoyance as she saw the alien lady again.
