Rude Awakening (Open to JSA)
Some days everything goes wrong. First Mark had lost his wallet. Then he had split coffee on his boss. Followed by dripping ink on a new shirt. That wasn't the worse that could happen though.

His toaster oven caught on fire when he went home. Then after that was taken care of Dr Fate had to step in. There was trouble. The details are fuzzy even to Dr Fate himself. But he didn't win the fight,. He was bloody, sore, an innocent bystander had died, and instead of going back to Mark's apartment somehow he ended up in the JSA headquarters.

He had no idea how. He was going to leave when all of the sudden he lost any energy he had and just toppled over crashing into a table right before he slumped onto the floor.

Today things were going to change. He just didn't know it yet on account of passing out on the floor.

	After her shenanigans in the city with Mickey, staying at the Brownstone was a good idea. And frankly, Rex couldn't say shit to her if she was responsible enough to stay at headquarters so it seemed like a win-win. At least until she came out and found a passed-out dude on the floor. Nic nudged at him with her toe. "Um. You alive?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Dr Fate groans in pain. He might look at least a little familiar to Nic from pictures she might have at some point seen. Either way the man in costume isn't moving too much and there are bloody marks all over his uniform. He might need some help. "NNnnn." That's a yes about being alive. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Awesome. You're only semi-verbal."

Nic did sorta recognize him, but not really. Mostly because she was just a touch hungover. It made things fuzzy but one thing that was clear was the blood on his uniform. That and she could smell that.

"Looks like your night was worse than mine and I broke TWO tables. You like, want a pillow or something?"

Her wings twitched a little. She wasn't quite sure what to do with the guy. Urge to call her brother was strong.

"NNnnn," he agrees. Right now his head just hurts too much to think clearly. Dr Fate and Mark were both on the surface but Fate knew what Mark was going to need.

He summons fourth a pad of paper weakly along with a pen. He scribes down what he wants before slipping back into that painful place of having the tar beaten out of him.

Send for Warhawk. Tell him Dr Fate needs his help. Dr Fate is well aware it will be Mark who wakes up again in these vestments. Tonight won't be easy.

Nic looked at the note and all but snarled.

"You want my brother? You do realize he's likely wasted right now? Sonofa...fine, bloody dude. You want both Hawks, you get both Hawks. Sit tight. And don't break anymore tables, okay?"

Rex was not going to be happy about this. Both the fact that she was not at home and hungover (and still wearing about a pound of eyeliner) and the fact that Dr. Fate was on the floor, bloody and kind of out of it. But she got her phone just the same and placed the call.

"I don't care how intoxicated you are. You need to get your ass to HQ right about now. Dr. Fate needs your help?"

Rex, contrary to popular belief, was actually sober. A missing sister will do that to a guy. When the phone rings, Rex picks it up, hoping to the gods it isn't Mom or Carter checking up on Nic.

When Nic's voice answers back, Rex...has a moment.

"Where the HELL are you, Nicolette? I've been looking for you all night and you haven't answered your phone. What is wrong with you?" Rex yells.

Then he hears the part about Doctor Fate.

"Oh shit. Okay, get him some water, and make sure he doesn't try to go anywhere. I'm on my way. The conversation about you not coming home is tabled until later, kid." Rex says, and hangs up.

	Unless Nic wants to dump water on a passed out Dr Fate he won't be in any shape to have water for a few minutes. Maybe longer really. The man behind the mask is still out of it and is only vaguely aware something isn't right. Waking up to two Hawks will only make things more interesting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh well fuck. He's sober and he's pissed. Awesome. As she put her phone away she idly wondered if captain unconsciouspants would mind staying in a bad way for like...ever to spare her Rex's unholy wrath.

Water. Yeah. She picked up his hand and dropped it back to the floor. It was dead weight. Water wasn't gonna be happening so, she chose to do something else aquatic instead--she washed her face in the kitchen sink, removing with expert skill the ton of makeup she'd been wearing.

The hickeys, however, weren't going anywhere. And neither was she. Rex, aka her doom, was coming.

	Mickey, having crashed that night at the Brownstone, entered the kitchen, rubbing her eyes. "Mornin' Nic," she looked over at Dr. Far and raised an eyebrow. "Who's that? Looks a little to old, even for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-05-06 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Dr. Fate or something like that. I'm calling him Captain Unconscouspants. He requested my brother and then passed out again." Nic peers at the guy curiously. "A little too skinny for me. But Rex is gonna kill me. Do I still smell like beer?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Better question. What are they going to do about the blood?

He's starting to stir now actually. He groans and doesn't quite move fully but the fingers on one gloved hand twitch. They might want to see about some basic first aide. He isn't about to bleed out or anything but his body is not happy with him.

"Whats..." He barely manages that before falling back into a dead silence again.

Mickey sniffed at Nic's neck. "No, but a little shower never hurt anyone. I also have a turtleneck or some cover-up in my room, if you want to cover up the hickies."

She turned to Wendi. "I have no idea. But he's here."

Seeing him stir, Mickey noticed the blood. "Be right back," she walked over to the kitchen sink, grabbing a washcloth and running some warm water over it, before walking back over to Dr. Fate and crouching down to dab at the blood.

"Like Rex won't notice a turtleneck in MAY. Oh hey Wendi. So this dude came in and like fell through the table and woke me up. He's Dr. Fate or something and he's requested my brother so I'm body-sitting. He keeps passing out. I'd give him some ibuprofen for his ouch but he can't stay awake long enough."

Nic carefully took off the strange guy's boots. Seemed like it might make him more comfy.

"Can I keep him?"

	"No. I am sitting here with my prize until my brother gets here. It's my duty to sit here until he gets here!" When Mark stirs, Nic turns her attention to him. "Hey, lay still.

He has to make some adjustments at work, but Rex manages to get over to the Brownstone just as Wendi asks her question.

"Hey girls, I'll take it from here." he says, entering the room. His eyes focus on Nicolette for a moment, and she would be well aware that Pissed Off Brother is pissed off.

"Thanks for helpin' the Doc out, Mickey, Wendi. Nic, get your things and get dressed." he says.

	"I still want to know what's going on," Mark snaps. Rex should note the difference in his voice since he had worked with Fate that one time. He did mention this would happen. "Who the hell are you people and where am I," he demands trying to not get too riled up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right, Not-Doc. Chill out. No need to get snappy. You still don't remember what's going on, do you?" Rex asks. "Look, we met not long ago, you and me. You explained that this would happen sometime, but you don't know what's up. You're Doctor Fate, man. Time to come to grips with it." Rex says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're all crazy," he mutters. He isn't freaking out at them anymore though. Instead he sits up and pulls the helmet off. Then he just stares at it and gets this very shell shocked expression on his face. He feels like he needs beer or something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-05-07 12:52 am UTC (link)
	"I found him, he's mine, just saying..." Of course her voice wasn't nearly as cocky as it was in the moments before her arrival and she seemed just a small bit uncomfortable in Rex's presence. She got up and went to follow her brother's directives. "I'll bring the first aid kid. Not Doc needs it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warriorwilled 2010-05-07 02:06 am UTC (link)
	"That might be, Doc, but you're the one who doesn't know where he is and dresses up in a uniform he doesn't recognize to fight criminals. So it looks like we're all nuts." Rex says. "Let me get you a drink, and we'll go ahead sort all this out." Rex says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I don't remember dressing up like this," Mark says shaking his head. "I just remember being tired all of the goddamn time and weird bruising on my body. I thought I was going insane these past few months."

He shakes his head. "This is insane."

Now he just stares at the uniform. He has no idea how to make it go away. And it doesn't help he feels like the Helmet is staring at him. "Is there any reason why I can't remember what happened? There's this.... big blank."

	"The helmet says it's been protecting you. Doesn't want you to get freaked out and do something crazy. I did mention that not telling you would probably get the same effect, but that didn't work out. Of course, this was after we tried to go all WWE on each other, so...yeah." he says.

Mark burst out laughing after he thinks that over for a moment. He couldn't help it. The idea of this guy and him beating the tar out of each other is pretty funny. Until his ribs start hurting again and he clothes his side while slickly calming down.

"Right. I think I'll need to call in sick to work or something. I'm .... in no condition to do much more than sit. And wonder why the hell the damn thing picked me. I'm a librarian."

	Nic shuffled back in, dressed more appropriately and with her hair combed and pulled back. She brought the first aid kit over to her brother and then carefully made sure she stayed Out Of The Way. "Librarians are cool," she did offer though, quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	More properly dressed, Wendi returned to the kitchen. "The original Doctor Fate was an archeologist," she said, catching part of the conversation. "The helmet seems to find people in the oddest places." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, I thought it was funny too, a couple of days later. That night, not so much." Rex says, taking the first aid kit from Nic.

He still doesn't look at Nic, because he's not sure he won't still put her on a plane back to Egypt the first chance he gets.

"The helmet's got a plan for you, and I'm not one to test fate, so to speak. I'm sure it'll tell you what it wants soon enough." Rex says.

Mark rubs his face down with one hand. He has no clue what to do. The knowledge that he's a super hero of some kind doesn't sit well with the librarian. He still has to deal with this though.

"All right. Say I accept that I'm Doctor Fate all of the sudden. What do I do? I'm not in a position where I can drop things all the time because there are problems.... I have a job. Disappearing all the time is a fast way to loose it."

Rex has almost forgotten that his sister was there until she spoke up.

"Hey, Wendi-Pants. You mind going to get some food for everyone? I'll toss you some cash for it." Rex says.

"Nicolette is going to keep her ass in a chair where I can see her until I've had a chance to come down from the murderous rage her all-night outing put me in." Rex says, trying to keep the anger out of his voice.

	"Yes, sir." She walked, head down, to the kitchen, and did exactly what Rex said, bringing back the coffee and handing mugs to Rex. She'd directly offer a mug to the now awake dude, but she didn't want to get bitched at. Without even a peep, she went back to the chair, tugging her wings so she could half sit on them to avoid twitches. Summer was going to suck. (Reply to this)(Parent)
