Wolfe met Long as soon as he reached the Juttles, looking over Rosen before sending both of them to the medical Juttle.

--

Even with the mask, Laurel was in bad shape by the time they arrived.

So Long jogged over to the medical Juttle.

--

Nic immediately took Laurel to the medical Juttle.

Snow was inside and was taking a careful look at Rosen's hands and had Long breathing in Pure Oxygen from a mask when Nic and Laurel walked in.

Laurel suddenly bent over and began to cough up the black gunk that she'd inhaled. Snow went over to her and helped her out of the backpack.

With everyone accounted for, the Juttles began taking off.

Long was breathing the oxygen, but he was also helping with Rosen's hands. He took over when Snow went to help Laurel.

Nic helped Snow with Laurel, giving her some pure oxygen.

Luckily for all of them, Rosen was still knocked out cold.

Laurel wouldn't down until Nic was also breathing in pure oxygen. Then she slowly sat down, looking light headed.

Zala, who had come in last, placed the box on the ground before grabbing a pure O2 mask for herself.

Nic and Long helped out where they could. When Laurel was doing better, Nic went to see what was going on.

Rosen's hands were almost entirely third degree burns. Snow was cursing almost continuously because it would take awhile to treat. "What exactly did he do?" she asked Zala.

"He went after Long's possessions.. which just happened to be in a metal box... which just happened to be near the site of the explosion.

Snow paused, "Wait..." she muttered.

"He did something selfless," Zala stated and Snow turned to look at her, just as shocked as she'd been.

--

There had been no sign of CLIKZ since the first attack and they weren't being followed. For now, Wolfe explained, they would be heading back to James' mansion.

Long wasn't taking any time to be shocked, still working tirelessly on Rosen's hands.

--

So Nic went back to everyone else and helped where he could.

After while, Snow gave Long the reigns as she went to check up on Laurel. She was still coughing up stuff but was watching Nic. "When... did you get back?" she asked hoarsely.

--

Kale had gotten into the same Juttle as Blaze but was giving her some space. It was fairly obvious he was staring at her a little too often though.

--

Frei seemed depressed.

"... Just now," Nic whispered back.

--

Blaze seemed a bit disoriented from the smoke. She didn't look at anything in particular, focusing on the wall in front of her.

--

Fin was still a bit in shock, but he sat next to Frei quietly.

Laurel coughed a little before leaning over and resting her head on his shoulder, "Impeccable timing... as always..." she murmured.

--

Kale finally approached her, "Do you need some pure O2?" he asked.

--

Frei eventually got up and went over to Raven, crawling into his lap.

Nic didn't try to keep the conversation going.

Blaze finally glanced up at Kale before shaking her head slowly.

Fin glanced over, watching Frei a little before looking away. Raven stroked Frei's hair a little. After a few minutes he pulled Fin over, leaning him against his side.

Laurel didn't mind, closing her eyes as she rested.

--

Kale nodded, pausing before taking a seat beside her.

--

There was a flash as Tulip took a picture of Raven and the kids, a wicked smile on her face.

Blaze remained quiet, not sure what to say.

--

Raven rolled his eyes a little, not looking too disturbed.

Kale didn't seem to know either so silence fell between them.

--

When they had to stop for gas, Kale took the opportunity to get out and stretch his legs. Also to get away from the silent he didn't know how to break.

--

Laurel also stood, a little wobbly, but determined to check on her animals.

--

Frei appeared to have no desire to move but Wolfe entered the Juttle to check on Raven.

Blaze also stretched a little, but she stayed on the Juttle.

--

Nic helped Laurel walk.

--

Raven gave Wolfe a small smile. Fin had fallen asleep at his side, so he wasn't getting up anytime soon anyway. It looked like Raven had made a quick stop by Wolfe's room. He had rescued a few things including Wolfe's silly hat and the violin he had bought.
