Hurting

[Blod]

Lionel gritted his teeth as he shook violently energy making his muscles shake and his mind reel. Lifting a vibrating hand he concentrated on his fingers and watched as a purplish energy molded into a spinning ball forming within his palm. Forcing a slow smile he shot out his hand and sent the ball out with energy releasing from his body and having him sag in relief. Relief short lived.
A small explosion rocked the room as the chair he had aimed ripped and pieces ricocheted around the room. Time seemed to slow as he watched pieces fly around wrecking his room until two sought out his body. A blunt end rammed into his chest as a jagged portion stabbed into his calf and had Lionel scream and jump back into the door. Fighting back tears he turned and threw open the door but feel down to the ground as soon as nothing was ready to take his weight. He could only grunt as he helped himself up and stumbled into walls of the hallway. He needed a doctor.

Jason was just exiting the elevator when he felt the floor vibrate violently. What was that? He wondered as he hurried out of the elevator, for fear of being trapped inside. He gave an involuntary shiver. God, he hated being in those metal boxes and he couldn't just fly up the stairs.

Suddenly he heard a cry of pain, followed by a man running out of his room. He saw the blood. Hurrying over, Jason knelt down as he saw the man's leg was protruding a piece of furniture. "Damn. Hold on, man." Turning around, trying to think of something, Jason yelled "HELP!!!" at the top of his lungs. A maid came to answer his screams.
"Oh no! I'll call for an ambulance." The maid said and rushed to a phone.

Glancing down, Jason applied pressure to the wound, hoping to stop the blood. "You're gonna be okay." He assured the wounded man as the maid returned and informed him that an ambulance was on its way.

"Hey," Jason gave a grin. "The hospital is about a two blocks from here. They'll be here in no time at all." He tried to remain optimistic as his hands were now soaked in blood.
"What do you need me to do?" The maid asked.
"Um, towels, get me some towels." Jason said and the maid ran off to obey.

Jason returned his attention to the kid. "Hey, what's your name?" He asked, hoping to keep the boy conscious and his mind off of the pain.

Lionel watched as a strange man ran down the hall seeing the blood on his leg. "Holding on." He gave a squeamish smile as he looked down at the blood and his stomach did a little roll. He had always enjoyed the fact that his powers were more of a crushing force instead of cutting as he never liked blood as it made everything look worse than it actually was. Right now his little thoughts on blood were proving true.

A little disoriented he watched a maid came out at the beckoning of the man's yelling and went off to call 9-1-1. Soon she was back informing them that help was on the way and he'd be alright. He knew the man was right but that didn't lessen the throbbing in his leg.

"Are you a doctor?" Even in pain he knew that most people didn't stay this calm in such a situation nor did they know what to do when blood was covering their hands. Thats a lot of blood. Another flip of his stomach and Lionel let his head hit the wall trying to draw attention away from his leg.

" Lionel. Lionel Smith. I am Lionel Smith."

[Max452]

Jason gave Lionel a sheephish smile. "Naw, but I practically live in hospitals now and days." He said as the maid returned with the towels. Swiping one really quickly, so that Lionel didn't lose more blood from the pressure, Jason pressed the towel around the wound. "I'm Jason." Jason introduced himself as he heard sirens outside the hotel.

"See, they're here. You'll be patched up in no time." Jason assured as he heard the sirens.

Moments later, the paramedics came up the elevator and took over for Jason.
"You're gonna be all right son." One of them said.

OOC: you can play the paramedics too, if you want. lol or the maid.

[Blod]

"Oh, okay." He didn't want to ask whether the man was a worker or a patient knowing that such a question wasn't likely to go over easily. A man's personal was a man's personal life. Lionel wouldn't want people asking about the random explosions around him or why he rarely got hurt when hit. His powers were his secret and other hads their own. "Well thanks Jason for being around these doctors."

Lionel raised his head as siren's echoed outside and he hardly noticed any pain happy to hear help was actually here. " Wow these guys are fast."

As the paramadics came up he let them man handle him and one wrapped Lionel's arm around his shoulder and they started helping him forward. " Hey Jason you know any doctors to recoment?" He stopped the guys and turned to look at his first helper wondering if this guy could help him again.

[Max452]

"I told you the hospital wasn't far." Jason smirked as he allowed the paramedics take over. After a moment, he wondered what he was going to do now that the excitement was over. He heard his name and turned around. "None on the E.R. floor, but I do know a good surgeon."

"Sir, do you mind coming with us?" One of the paramedics asked. "We'll like to know what happened and also the police would probably want a statement."
"Yeah, sure, no problem." Jason followed the paramedics and went with them as they loaded Lionel into the ambulance.

Minutes later, they were hurry out of the siren mobile and into the E.R. The paramedics explained Lionel's condition, while the police met Jason and he gave them a statement.

[Blod]

"Police statement? I'm hurt not trying to rob a bank." He was about to go off on a tangent when the man quited him with that shshing noise everyone found annoying. " They only need the statement because thats what police do." Lionel had no idea what the man meant when he said that but he quieted knowing he wasn't going to get anymore nor did he know what else to ask.

In a few minutes they had him loaded onto the ambulance along with Jason. He gave the man a smile before turning his head away and decided to close his eyes as he rested on the bed. One of the guys even took out the chair splinter and gave a quick wrap over. Lionel was happy for the slow down of the bleeding but oh so soon they were at the hospital and he was loaded off.

Lionel was seperated from Jason as the paramedics took him to explain his condition and then Jason went to talk to the police. He hoped the man wouldn't say anything that would draw suspicion and he hoped he would be healed quickly.

[Max452]

"No, I just think it was an accident. I did feel a strange vibration right before he ran out of the room though." Jason explained to the officer as Lionel was being taken cared of.
"Did you see anyone else?" the officer asked.
"No, no one besides the maid, but she came in from the opposite side of the hall. I didn't get a chance to look inside the room. Do you think someone attacked him?" Jason asked, wondering if there was more than meets the eye. Of course, he never stopped to process any of this when he saw Lionel run out of his room. He was so caught up with stopping the blood that he didn't even have time to think of anything else.
"Its possible; I'm open to the possibility. Thanks for your help Mr. Larson."
"Yeah, no problem."

The police officer left Jason alone in the waiting room while he went to check up on Lionel; he wanted to know if the man was up for talking about what happened.

"Sorry, Officer, but you're gonna have to wait until we take an x-ray. We were able to slow down the bleeding, but the piece of wood is still stuck in there and we don't want to remove it in case of internal bleeding." The doctor explained as some interns were pushing Lionel upstairs to the x-ray room.
"How long will that take?"
"No more than an hour, depending on how many people are up there, right now. So please, make yourself comfortable." The doctor told the cop.

[Blod]

occ: lol running on Jimm juice so sorry its quite short.

Lionel tried to crane his neck as he heard the doctors talking about him but the nurses told him to calm down and keep still so he didn't strain himself. Lionel grumbled to himself but he kept his head straight and let the intern nurse push him on the bed. " So how long till I'm good?" The intern just shrugged and he lost all hope in finding out an answer. It seemed people in hospitals weren't that helpful.

[Max452]

OOC: its good. I understand; I'm running on my nonpowered hero right now. lol.

"All right, sir, this will only be a bit, but we're going to take you to get some x-rays." The intern told Lionel as they entered the elevator. "So, you wanna tell me how you got that nice stick in your leg?" The intern asked as she pressed the button for 3.

Jason waited in the waiting room.

[Blod]

occ: lol he waited in the waiting room. Classic.

" X rays don't those things give off radiation? Radiation kills you." He looked down at his leg the muscles around his lips twitching in pain constantly but ignoring it for the most part knowing it wasn't life or death. Looking up he saw the interns shaking thir heads and rolling their eyes probably thinking they knew everything and anyone asking questions like him were below their level of intelligence.

"Oh you wanna know how it got it in? Well it knockned nicely and I couldn't refuse entry to such a polite projectile." His sarcasm was obvios but he was sure this was how Deadpool would have handled the situation and he was happy to give the girl a little something to chew on.

[Max452]

OOC: lol i thought so. lol

"You'll be quite safe, I assure." The intern replied, glancing at Lionel as if he was weird. As she exited the elevator and scooted Lionel to the x-ray line, she told waited with the other interns until it was their turn. "No, but seriously, how did you get this wound?" One of the other interns asked Lionel. "I mean, it looked like something blasted into your leg...did someone attack you?" The intern asked as she looked at the protruding projectile.

[Blod]

"Safe? I hope so cause all those horror stories about doctos just aren't giving me any confidence." He gave a bored chuckle just trying to add some fun into the quite dull mood. Letting his lips slap against each other rapidly he looked to the other intern. Sighing he guessed he'd need to give them some sort of answer or they would either dislike him or continue to pester him and it'd be good to prepare for the cops. So taking a breath he srated to create a story.

" So I was with this girl a few days ago and it seems she was already with someone. He found out and this is how he reacted." Letting his shoulders slump he let himself seem like a wronged victim.

Althia glanced behind and looked at the guy who'd just been wheeled in she winced. that looked painful. she turned forward again. she listened to him talk about the 'boyfriend' poor guy. hope hed be alright. she was working in the ER today. she liked helping people but she had to be carefull lest people notice her abilities.
"he must have been pretty angry." she said. "he break a chair or something?"

[Max452]

"Aww, you poor thing." One of the interns patted Lionel, but the other, thinking Lionel was nothing but a liar just rolled her eyes. "You need to report that to the police." The first intern said.
"Its our turn." The other intern pointed for them to move.

Getting inside the x-ray. The two interns helped Lionel into the designated seat.
"Now, this will only take a couple of minutes. Please don't move." They told Lionel.

***
Jason never did like waiting in hospitals, so he decided to go visit his doctor on the third floor. Maybe he could find a doc that could help out Lionel.

[Blod]

Lionel looked up at the intern with her hand on his shoulder and gave a small sheepish smile before looking forward again and letting them push him forward as his turn came up. He heard a lady talk to him right before he was wheeled away but he didn't have time before he was moved into the x-ray and tried to stay as still as possible already knowing the routine from so many hospital shows. " You got it."

[Eyes Only]

"Ivory?" Althia jumped as a doctor tapped her on the shoulder the interns snickered. "one of the children in the cancer ward is asking for you..." the doctor looked sad. she stilled. "wh-who?" "Michale Anderson. one of the interns can take over here." Ivory immediately walked off at a quick pace with a worried look on her face..
