((Cherry? Maybe we could just forgo that earlier thread for Buzz and Mira? Seems kind of pointless now since Team Lightyear left Planet Z. You could still maybe have Woody at the MedBay, though, if you wanted.))
Returning to consciousness was a gradual process. Erin was fully aware of her surroundings several minutes before she finally opened her eyes. She couldn’t help it – she was just too comfortable. But her eyes opened and instantly focused on Warp. “Hey, stranger,” she said softly, her voice breaking a little – probably from smoke inhalation.

Warp rubbed his eyes as he shifte in his seat yet again. The empty coffee cup in his hand told him just how tired he actually was.
Was that my fifth or sixth cup? ....Whatever.
Was that Erin's voice he just heard or was he going crazy. Warp looked up from his reflection in the floor and met Erin's eyes. He felt like tearing up again. "Hey, kid." He stood and move over to her side. "How are ya feeling?"

"Headache," she admitted, wincing slightly. "But not as bad as a migraine, so, y'know, I'll live." Then she reached up to touch her right cheek lightly. "Owww." Blinked. "Where is everybody?"

"Oh, well it's good to know that you'll live." Warp grined.
"Um...well..." Warp grimaced. He knew that it was going to come out sooner or later so, " Mira went to see that cowboy fello named Woody and Buzz...Buzz took Booster and XR and went to Planet Z." That was not going to go over well.

Buzz went to Planet Z… The dream remained just at the edge of memory. “I know,” she said quietly. “He… he was fighting…” She squeezed her eyes shut and opened them after a beat. “Agh, I can’t remember anything else.”

Warp blinked a couple times trying to get his brain to make sense of what Erin was saying and couldn't. The coffee must have been wearing off. "If you happen to remember would you let me know?"

She gave him a hard look. “Warp, it was real. I had this dream… and Buzz was hurt. Just… just call him.”

"I was serious, Erin." Warp flipped open his radio and dialed Buzz up. "If you're with someone long enough, you don't have to be looking to know that they're not doing so well." He waited for the ringing on the other end to start before continuing. "I just wanted to know details and if Buzz isn't okay than I would have to get them from you or go and see for myself, which is something I'd rather not have to do." He finished in a flat voice.
I think I need a tall cup of java.
"Can I get you anything while we wait for Buzz to pick up?"

Erin shook her head mutely.
……
aboard 42
The ringing startled the two younger Rangers awake. Buzz, on the other hand, was still awake, and he flipped his communicator open – now back into uniform. “Warp? Warp, how’s Erin?”

Warp breathed a thankful prayer when Buzz finally answered his call. "Erin's awake and doing just fine. But I hear that you didn't fair so well."

Buzz sent up his own thank you, then winced. “I’m kinda banged-up, but I’ll be okay.”

"Uh-huh." Warp had a few more words floating around his mind but decided to save them for later. "Okay, we'll be waiting for you. Darkmatter out." He closed his comm and sat back down in his chair. "You sure you don't need anything?"

Buzz sighed - Warp was going to be yelling at him later, he just knew it.
...
Erin shrugged slightly. "Actually, I guess I could use a glass of water. I'm thirsty."

"One glass of water coming up in just a minute." Warp said as he went to the door since the LGMs had neglected to put a pitcher in the room.
Empty room? Nah. LGM with a service cart. And where...bingo!
"Hey, green bean!" He called to the LGM that was waddling down an intersecting hallway, with a MedBay service cart. "Do you happen to have a water pitcher and a glass?" Warp purposly stopped in front of the cart and asked his question in a rather urgent manor.
The LGM stared at him for a moment before responding, "Yeeees," as it produce an empty pitcher and a glass.
Warp couldn't help but bury his head in one hand for a second. "Do you have a pitcher to go with that glass?"
"Yeees." Came the responce yet again along with a full pitcher of water.
"Thank you." Warp said taking the pitcher and the glass and heading back to Erin's room. "One glass of water as ordered." He place the glass gently into Erin's hand and place the pitcher on a side table.
((hope that wasn't OOC))

(I guess I'll just put in the snippit about Mira and Woody now then. So lets see what they're up to.)
Woody's shabby office was smaller than Mira's kitchen. There was hardly enough room for the two chairs that occupied the desk and the two other fling cabinets. The room was dimly with a lamp light that sat on the edge of the wooden desk, sprinkled with dust just like everything else in the room was.
Mira had been to the station before the other day, but she never managed to meet Woody in his office.
"I hope you like your coffee black, we just ran out of sugar." Woody hip checked the door that didn't really close properly to begin with and handed Mira a steaming Styrofoam cup of coffee.
"No, it's fine. It's the usual back on the Star Cruiser."
Woody nodded, taking a sip of his. Mira followed and shot her head back the minute her lips met the black drink. "Nasty. I know, that's why we put endless amounts of sugar in there. To rid the bad taste of it."
Mira set down her cup politely, casting her eyes up towards Woody who sat down on the other side of the desk.
"From what you told me about last night I have really no idea of what to say besides the honest truth, so here it goes. Zurg's cotton pickin nuts! The man's lost it for sure this time Mira. He might be a confounded idiot, but from how he attacked all of you last night without mercy for your lives he's sure to live to his word and destroy you. Maybe not now, but when there comes a time where he really is off his rocker be sure to expect a threatening battle for your lives."
Mira looked away, a more than a little shocked by that approach, but then again that's the exact same thing she was thinking hours before. Just she never really expected someone to speak them aloud.
"That's what I was thinking. Buzz went off with Booster and XR, my other two teammates, to battle Zurg. I know it wasn't a good plan and someone's liable to get hurt."
"That's what happens when you want revenge, Missy." Woody said tiredly. "I've seen plenty of these officers here do stupid stuff over losing one of their best friends. Even I wanted revenge sometimes, but that's not the answer."
"Then what is the answer?"
There was a long, uncomfortable pause in the room as Woody sipped his coffee. "I don't know." He finally said. "But that's what we're here for. To make sure the world's at peace and no one's out there doing stupid stuff, like revenge. Now that that's over, what's the real reason you're down here?"
Mira sighed, sinking in her seat. "Buzz didn't want me to go. He seemed pretty sincere on that. He might not have said anything, but I saw it in his eyes when we argued last night."
"So you came here?" Mira nodded. "Alright then. You just had a paid work day doing nothing. I'd say mission accomplished."
"Not quite. I still have to make sure Buzz is alright."
"Phone in the front lobby." She nodded her thanks and ran for the front lobby. But she gave it a few minutes, having this feeling Buzz was already on the phone talking with someone already.
(Long post is long. Sorry that I made it like this in this RP. Hope it was okay for you guys but I needed to get the Woody and Mira arc thing out of the way before anything else happened. That way everything's covered and settled. )
