It took a moment for Warp to steady his hand enough to feel the pulse, but once he'd accomplished that, he could feel it strong as ever. Thank you, God! Okay, what eslse have we got here? Warp checked the back of Erin's head and her face before making an assessment for Buzz.
For a moment he wonder where exactly Buzz had gotten to, but that question was quickly answered, when he spotted him marching down to Brent Starkisser and sending him on his way.
Boy, someone just got off with a warning! Warp could see the look on his buddy's face as he turned around, and it wasn't a pleasent one. He waited for him to go check on Mira before walking over with Erin in his arms again.

Buzz noted Warp's approach and briefly chewed the inside of his cheek. "Let's take her to Star Command's MedBay. I want her to get the best."

"No agruements there. I think she might have a concussion and maybe a broken cheekbone, but that's just my very unexperienced medical opinioin." Warp stated in a matter-of-fact tone, just so that he could say he said so.

"I'm okay....Just a little sore, that's all. That beam must of dislocated my shoulder." She said, feeling the most pain out of her right shoulder.
"I was careless."

"Could've happened to anyone," Buzz said gently. "Now, c'mon - let's get you and Erin to Star Command."

"Okay," Mira shakily got to her knees, looking around at the fleeting reporters. "Is she going to be alright?"
She said this without looking into his eyes. Somehow, if the news was bad, she didn't want to see it in his eyes first. XR said she was going to be fine, and she believed that, but there's always, always, that slight chance that she wouldn't. And Mira would blame herself because she wasn't able to safely help her.
"I told her to leave when it got dangerous." Mira muttered to herself, looking back at the church one last time before heading along with Buzz and XR.

Buzz protectively wrapped his arm around her. “I think so. I don’t think it’s anything life-threatening or even damaging in the long run. In time, at least, she’ll be okay.”
Buzz smiled sadly at that. “Mira Nova, be totally, one-hundred percent honest with yourself, and see if you wouldn’t have stayed, too. Erin’s a fighter. Even if it hadn’t concerned her so specifically, she wouldn’t have missed the action for anything. You can’t ask her to be less than what she is.”

Warp followed behind Buzz and Mira, listening to their conversation but not paying any real attention. He did however, get the idea the Mira felt bad about not making Erin leave.
Nice to know I'm not the only one feeling guilty. He shifted Erin's weight see the ground in front of him better.

Mira listened, nodding her head into his chest. She liked those warm arms around her. It felt protective but in a way that she wasn't so overwhelmed by it. It was a nice feeling, short, but nice.
The world was going to be all right. If it wasn't, leaning into those warm arms wouldn't feel as good.
Finally she broke away, looking at him before moving on.
"I know," She said, rubbing her arms. "I know. But things are different now. Like Hellboy and Zurg's changed too. He's more put on by destruction than taking over. He wants us dead this time. All the other times, sure it would have been nice for us to be out of the picture, but now." She stopped, trying to find the right words.
"Now he's serious. Buzz," Mira said seriously, her eyes hard and strict. "I don't want you to do anything stupud either. I know what Zurg's done. I know that he nearly killed us. But that's just it, he nearly did. I know you almost like the back of my hand now. I know you'll go after him. I know you want revenge! Don't ignore me! I don't want you or anyone else to go after Zurg!"
"What? You want us to stay behind and wait? To do nothing?" XR said, looking at her strangely. "Not like I'm one to argue, but this time....I might just want to go and beat Zurg to a pulp.
This isn't like you Mira, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to teach Zurg a lesson too?"
She looked down, not saying anything. There was a long pause before she spoke up. "I do. I do want to go over to Planet Z and teach Zurg a lesson he'll never forget. I want to make him see his wrongs like everyone else does. Arrest him, put his behind in jail for the rest of his life. But...for once I'm scared of what might happen if one of us doesn't make it out. We should wait, just to make a plan. To think everything out before we do something."
((Sorry that I took XR if anyone was using him. Just borrowed him for this scene since I wanted to put that quote in.))

((No problem! That was good! I’m the only player who’s used XR thus far, and really, the only canon character that I don’t want to give up is Buzz. Well, I don’t want to give up Commander Nebula for good, either, but I don’t mind if he’s borrowed every now and then.))
Oh wow. How was a guy supposed to think when he was holding a girl this way? Buzz shook his head at himself and briefly stroked Mira’s long red hair.
That was just it. In the two decades that Buzz had been fighting Zurg, the Evil Emperor had never once actually killed anyone, or even really seemed to want to. This new turn of events, though…
It’d blindsided Buzz. For the first time in his life, he couldn’t figure Zurg out. Before, it was simple: be evil and goof around. Sometimes, there was more to it, but that was basically it. It was a tradition, a routine: Zurg made a mess, Buzz cleaned it up. It wasn’t a bad life, and it was fun.
Now, though… Zurg seemed to be getting more serious. But what was really confusing were the events of the previous night: Zurg helping Buzz and acting… mm, antagonistically friendly. What the galaxy.
Buzz was tempted to say that Zurg had just completely lost it this time.
Buzz opened his mouth to retort, but XR beat him to it.
Buzz’s eyebrows shot skyward. That had to be the most mature – and almost passionate – thing XR had ever said. Interesting.
He couldn’t wait. There was a deep-seated fury within that threatened to explode spectacularly.
He didn’t want to explode. For the first time in his life, he had a very real fear that he could lose control and do something that he’d regret forever.
Buzz took a shaky breath and said, “We’ll talk it over once we’re in the MedBay, all right?” He looked around at his team. “Guys?”
Booster, who’d been a bit wide-eyed through the whole conversation, nodded mutely. XR scuffed at the snow with a tread and shrugged.

Mira sighed, following behind a little tiredly. Her communicator starting beeping just then. An incoming call, but this was a private line only use for Star Command and other private sectors only. The only other way people could contact her was for Mira to give the number to someone.
"Woody?" She asked. The cowboy popped onto the screen, his face a bit worried.
"Missy? You alright? I saw everything on the news. That Zurg guy again?"
She nodded. "Yeah. This time though he meant business...look, I can't talk, not here and now. Maybe we can meet again downtown at your office."
Woody looked at her skeptically. "You sure? Don't you have work?"
Mira let her eyes wonder upwards towards the team. She had a good view at Buzz waiting for her, his eyes narrowed. "Yeah, but it looks like I can take some time off. It doesn't look like I'm needed right now. I know I aska lot, but, do you think you can help me out on something? I'll give you heads up on what to do tomorrow. Bye."
((Hey guys, I was wondering about a seperate Rp that follows after this one? I was reading about the fight in Sky's note to steel and eez about Buzz going to fight Zurg and Mira not really going for it and it gave me an idea about Mira teaming up with Woody to further the case with Hellboy and help develop a back up plan to stop Zurg? Idea? Comments? Get back to me if you want to talk futher about it. It's still in the development plan though. ))

((Okay, Cherry, lemme think… Umm, like, Buzz takes Booster and XR right off the bat, and then Mira and Woody follow behind as backup with an actual plan? I like that.))

((Alright, looks like I'm going to do it then. @sky: Just PM me or something when you think it's the right time for me to enter the RP. After that I guess it's just Mira and Woody doing little sub-plots while helping out behind the scenes.))
