Repayment for loyal service (backdated to the end of "Uncivil War")
Morgaine stood next to her brother at the Lazarus Pits. She knew that while Damien had been looking into them for their medical uses, he had mostly been destroying them.

But the person they were bringing back deserved nothing less for the way that he had sacrificed himself.

Morgaine turned to Damien. "They're ready to bring him in."

"Have them do so at once. We will likely only get one chance at this, since Aunt Nyssa has been less than forthcoming with her secret on how to reuse them." Damien says, watching the bubbling green waters closely.

Few men had gone into these depths and returned with their sanity intact. Grandfather, an old acquaintance of his mother's, and a slim few had been introduced to the Pit. He was reluctant to do this to James, but...it did not seem right or fair to bury him after the sacrifice he'd made on Damien's behalf.

"Bring in our best shooters as well. If James' mind is dominated by his bestial side upon revival, we will need to slow him down. If he cannot be saved..." Damien trailed off.

He did not finish his sentence. Morgaine already knew what would have to be done.

	Morgaine nodded. "I understand," she said. "I brought my silver sword...just in case. There are shooters located at all the possible angles, armed with silver bullets in case need arises." She signaled for them to bring in James' body and lower him into the pit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The body that first starts to come out revived from the pit is human shaped, but the form changes, as as the shocked screaming gives way to a stomach-wrenching howl. The giant wolf is initially flailing in terror as it scrambles out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Morgaine stood in front of Damien, silver sword in hand. Just in case. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"JAMES! Control yourself, man!" Damien bellows. The soldiers aim their weapons, making ready to fire, but Damien holds up a hand. "You will /fight/ for your mind, James Abbot! You are not some slavering monster! Remember who you are!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The howl starts to subside. The flailing for a moment looks insurmountable but starts to slow. as he gets closet to Damien.

Until the wolf's in front of him, still shaking, growling.... but front paws straight forward, back half arched, tail curved just so. The standard instinctive posture of canine deference.

James continues to try to pull himself together, but there's clearly one thing he can remember.

	Morgaine would stand firmly, ready to strike if needed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good man, James. Very good." Damien says soothingly, stepping from behind his sister to kneel before James. "You did a brave thing, my friend, attacking Ra's al Ghul at the risk to your life. You saved my life and I have restored yours. Now, return to yourself and let us take care of you." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And slowly, the fur recededs and the form shifts, until it's the man huddled before him. "...Hello, Master...Damien. Good... to see you both ...well." As he looks up, there's something brighter and brittler in the back of his eyes, but it's James Abbot, all right. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Damien gives the signal to his men to stand down, then raises his hand. A servant rushes forward with a blanket and cold water for James to drink. "Relax, James. You will eat and relax, then we will discuss your future with the League." Damien says. "Morgaine, please make sure James has all he needs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Later, some embarrassment will register at having been naked in public, but for now there's just a hoarse, "Thank you" as he drinks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonchild 2011-05-08 06:43 am UTC (link)
	Morgaine nodded, turning to a servant. "Bring Mr. Abbot something hot to eat and a fresh change of clothes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And James will gratefully, albeit quietly, accept any help as he gets a chance to recover in some comfort. Of course, anticipating as any good man in his position does, his scattered, fractured mind does try to look ahead to talking to Master Damien. (Reply to this)(Parent)
