What's That Sound?
Green Arrow was out on patrol, fully stocked with a mixture of trick arrows and regular arrows as always. He'd been getting a lot better since the extra training started kicking in. But the night was quiet, and it didn't seem like there was going to be much action. He stopped in an alleyway and peered out of the corner, hoping to spot something.

	"Kramer Street. I'm bleeding bad, Mia." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm on my way, Keith," Mia said, hopping on her bike. "Just hold on, okay?" The roar of the motorcycle could be heard. "I'm going to be right there, just hang on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ok. Thanks." He hung up and held his stomach with both hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mia arrived at where Keith was. She rushed over to her brother, checking his wounds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keith looked up at Mia while clutching his stomach and trying to slow the bleeding. It was a decent gash, and he had cuts and bruises all over the place. yeah, he was fucked up. "Hey....sis." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mia's face paled when she saw Keith. He was bleeding bad, and she needed to get him looked at asap. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2010-09-28 04:54 am UTC (link)
	"It's not bad...is it?" Still cracking jokes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redarrowmia 2010-09-29 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	"You look like hell," she said bluntly. She didn't want to take him to a hospital. Hospitals were always tricky for the superhero crowd. So she made a call to someone she knew would help them. Mia dialed Zach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2010-09-29 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	The ringtone indicates it's a friendly contact, not business or unknown, so Zach has a bit more candor than usual when answering. "This isn't Zachary Zatara, but I hear that guy's awesome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redarrowmia 2010-09-29 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	Yes Zach, she is rolling her eyes at you on the other line. "Zach it's me," she said. No witty remark, and her tone was serious. "I need you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2010-09-29 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	Zach goes serious as well. "I don't hear explosions or metal clashing so I'll assume you're not in the middle of a fight. Location and situation?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redarrowmia 2010-09-29 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	"An alley off of Kramer," she said. "It's not me, it's Keith. He's banged up pretty bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2010-09-29 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll be there in a flash." He hangs up, and one teleportation later, he's climbing out of Mia's quiver. He gets his feet on the ground and surveys Keith. "Well.... you're a mess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2010-09-29 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Would you like me to go powder my nose?" Honestly, it was hard to tell if Keith was being sarcastic or really joking around. He thought Zach was a cool guy, so the latter was more likely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redarrowmia 2010-09-29 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Can you get us back to the apartment so you can look at him?" She asked Zach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Zach shakes his head. "I don't want to move him until I've got him stabilized." He rolls up his sleeves and examines the wounds, magically rending fabric as he goes to get at them with minimal movement of Keith's body.

He furrows his brow as he examines the wound to Keith's abdomen. "I can patch the rest without a problem, at the cost of about an hour or three off his lifespan, but this...." He grunts, shaking his head. "Mia.... get behind him, and hold your bow into his mouth."

His gaze turns cold. "Keith... this is going to hurt."

	"Great," Keith commented. He mentally prepared himself. "You think dieting can really add years to your life, like on Billy and Mandy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redarrowmia 2010-09-29 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Just try and relax, okay Keith?" Mia said, putting her hand on his shoulder, as she followed Zach's instructions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2010-09-29 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Keith... bite down. It'll keep you from taking off your tongue." Zach produces a wand, and the end starts to glow, until it's blazing hot. "It didn't breach the abdominal wall, so I just need the stop the bleeding. Best I can do is cauterize it." He advances slowly, silently giving Keith one last chance to decide risking a hospital.

	sonic_arrow 2010-09-29 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	Keith bit down on the bow. He was nervous as hell. But there was no option for going to a hospital. If he was anyone other than Keith Queen and Green Arrow, he would have taken the chance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redarrowmia 2010-09-29 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	"It's going to be okay Keith," Mia repeated over and over again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2010-09-29 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	Zach touches the tip carefully against Keith's skin, and there's a sizzling sound, and a smell like pork roasting, as he seals up the wound. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2010-09-30 02:04 am UTC (link)
	Keith bites down on the bow, hard. It muffled the sound of his cries of pain. He tried his best to stay still, but he couldn't help but arch his back and scratch at the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redarrowmia 2010-09-30 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	Mia briefly put her hand on Keith's shoulder, continuing to reassure him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greatest_zatara 2010-09-30 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Zach carefully works his way across the wound, binding the edges together and then cauterizing them. After what must seem like forever for Keith, he finishes. "He's going to need plenty of rest, and it's going to scar something awesome, but he should be okay. Going to need a bunch of antibiotics though. How long was that wound open?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2010-10-01 02:34 am UTC (link)
	Keith hisses while biting the bow as hard as he can. Even when Zach was done, it hurt like hell. He needed a breather before he could say anything. And Mia was going to have quite the difficult time getting her bow back until Keith decided it was a good time to stop biting down. (Reply to this)(Parent)
