{And I suck at starting Timeskips! I say the Lee and Cody part skips a head a few hours, and Cody should be able to walk by then!}

I gritted my teeth and stared at the bubbling, pussy mess that was my upper leg. I wasn't going to be able to walk right ever again. Not like I ever expected to in the first place.
"Ahh, that should be enough." I whispered. The peroxide had stopped frothing by now, but my leg still looked horrible. "Um... I think you wash it out with water now." I instructed her, mostly guessing at it.
I hoped I didn't end up loosing my leg, because that wouldn't be good.

I jumped and nearly slammed my wings against the cage bars for the second time that day. At least he was voluntarily talking to me, unlike a few of the other mutants.
"a-ahh... Yes?" I asked, rubbing the back of my head and smiling weakly.
Oh, now my wings were throbbing. Thanks for the kindness, mutant-whose-name-I-don't-know.

Baka-kun looked tired. It was getting really late, almost midnight. "Zenith, you should sleep. I'll stay watch." I offered quietly.
"No, it's okay. I haven't stayed up this late in a while. It's kinda refreshing, you know?" he smiled and looked at me as I shook my head slowly.
We both looked up into the sky at the same time at the sound of beating wings.

{Anndddd... more Writer's Block! YAYY- ugh.}

{There's also been a minor timeskip to around midnight. Cho and Zenith are basically getting ready for the operation.}

"Cody. Hey, Cody." I sat cross legged behind his head while he slept on the ground. Being lookout was no problem for me, but I knew to keep the wound's wrappings clean, and it was about time for me to change them again. I looked down and into his sleeping face, wondering if all guys looked that peaceful and... good looking while they slept.
Again, I ruled out Zenith because he was more like a puppy and a good friend to me- no way would I go anywhere further with him. He seemed to be waiting for someone. Who? I don't know.
Back to Cody.
"Waaake uppp Cooodyyy..." I muttered and slowly pushed my index finger into his cheek before pulling if back out. So squishy.

I narrowed my eyes slightly. How would Nova know about Lee? I had never mentioned her today, and I do not think Zenith did either. But then Never stopped behind her.
What was that about "not letting go"? Never was blind, so I didn't know what she had meant by that. Zenith chuckled quietly and smiled serenely behind me. Of course I was the one left out of the loop.
"So... he was shot?" I asked quietly. Lee knew how to take care of wounds on herself fine- especially cuts and slices-but I wasn't too sure how well she would be able to treat the boy. I looked over to Zenith and he nodded.
"I'll go help her. Plus, she needs to know the plan if this is going to work." he walked past me and began to run into the forest.
I refuse to say why he did not fly.

I shook my head. "I don't remember you. Then again, I don't remember much these days." I laughed bitterly and stopped abruptly. He probably thought I was insane too by now. I guess I am, so I can't complain.
"Is that all?" I asked in a somewhat cold tone. Yeah, sure my personality takes trips sometimes. But I can't stop it.

I smiled tiredly and poked his cheek again. "Nice try," I murmured, leaning over just a little bit more. I tossed my head back to see if I could see the stars through the tree branches tonight. Just barely, I could see one constellation peeking in between the leaves. It was Orion.
Grinning just a little more at that tiny sign of hope, I looked back to Cody. Was he blushing? Huh, I didn't notice that before. I was getting a little tired by now, but it was my will that kept my eyes open.
Alone with an injured boy in the middle of a forest, with the only place near me is the School? Yeah, no. I wasn't going to fall asleep anytime soon.

"Sure hope so," I grabbed the cup from Aiko's hand and poured it over my leg, washing out the wound. It still looked bloody and somewhat serious- but hey!- at least the puss was gone. I set the cup down on the floor next to me and looked for the brown bottle of the foaming liquid stuff.
It was at that moment that I had realized I was so distracted that my tail had disappeared once more, as well that my ears were back on the side of my head and not at all fuzzy. At least something went right for me today.

I frowned at Argo. That kid interested me.
"I'm fairly sure I'm the only one like this, unless you want to talk about Alt. 7." I began. "By the way, my name's Orion. Like the constellation. " I would have stuck my hand out for him to shake it if we had been free and all, but we were still in cages.
Then the Eraser passed by.
He was big, smelly and mean, out in full Eraser form. The thing stopped directly in front of my cage and kicked it- hard. The force knocked me back to the other side and I lay there, trying to act like I had fainted. If I did so, then maybe they wouldn't take me away.
I suppose luck was on my side that day, because the Eraser just muttered something like: "Shut up." And walked away.

{Just one for now. I'll post the others later}

Cody was standing up, which I hoped was a good thing. I followed suit, barely avoiding a wing to the face as I scrambled to my feet and right behind Cody. He was acting... Off. What else could you suffer from a gunshot? Brain damage? Hopefully not amnesia.
Probably not amnesia.
"Are you okay?..." I asked quietly, reaching out and touching his shoulder. My wits shifted nervously, and I tried to recall the last time my wings had been stretched out. I was so used to binding them up that it was almost like I didn't have them anymore. I wash sure if that was good or bad.
