every day a little sting

( Kol's (nat 1) boxes him in as he takes the punch squarely in his face, temporarily breaking his nose.

Through gritted teeth, Mickey thanks her, but he's down for a minute.

Josh's (5) tries to grab one of the stray guns but he is not gun proficient. As for Kol, he tries to grab D5's arrow to pull it out and stab him in the neck with it (13). )

[deathlessness]

[D5 stills as the arrow sinks in, before falling to the ground (6). Hayley digs her teeth in tighter (16), tearing out D2's throat, before dropping to the ground next to Derek, ready to catch her breath.

And, for the first time, in the last few hours, the entire warehouse is quiet. Freya takes a quiet head count, before nodding to the wolves.]

I'll go get the spare clothes from the cars.

[witchaffinity]

( The last body drops, and Josh focuses first on his pain, and then finds his husband's eyes, dropping down to one knee and putting a hand in his fur, bringing his face close, breathing him in. He's okay.

Mickey will just lie there for another minute. He'll get there. He's alive.

Derek limps over to Hayley, climbing over some dead hunters to do so, and starts to lick at her fur. Gross werewolves are gross but kind of romantic. Go figure.

Kol, covered in blood, first checks his sister, but notices -- no Davina. He turns gives one more whirl around before turning to Hayley the wolf. )

Where's Davina?

[werewolfqueen]

[Aiden will lean his weight heavily against Josh, lingering in wolf form until Freya returns with his clothes.

For a similar reason, Hayley doesn't respond to Kol right away, returning Derek's affection with ones of her own. Fortunately, he doesn't have long to wait because once Freya passes her clothing and she shifts back to human form, she speaks:]

They took her, not long after she found out that the witches held the cemetery. You don't have her?

[witchaffinity]

( Kol, impatient and worried, did not ask for a kinkier excerpt from Call of the Wild, or he'd say his hello's.

He waits all the same.

He's seen it before, nudity is nudity.

Josh does stand in front of Aiden as he changes back into closed. )

Do I have here? I don't have her. We're here to rescue you. Davina was included. Do you know where she was taken?

[blackstarred]

She's at the Abattoir. Or at least that's where she was going.

[Mia had wandered off to recover some of her arrows and came back. She doesn't have super hearing, like some people in this room.]

Mickey got her from Monroe, and my brother and Coop took her somewhere safe. Far as we know, she's fine.

[vampasm]

So, she's okay.

( Josh lets himself smile, turning to his husband. )

And you're okay.

( He takes Aiden's hand. )

Sorry I missed breakfast.

[packguy]

It's okay. You'll be home for dinner.

[And they're going to just shut out the world for a while. Once they're sure everyone's okay.]

[pumping]

( Mickey picks himself up with the pain having subsided and the healing in overdrive without wood in his circulatory system.

Derek checks in with Hayley, pushing hair out from in front of her eyes.

"We were both late.">)

[werewolfqueen]

[She smirks in return.]

Not the first time I was late on account of kidnapping. Probably won't be the last.

[She glances back around her at the mess left behind.]

But I say we clean this up with a torch job and get the hell out of here. How about you?

[engender]

That will be my second torch job in a month.

( But he concurs. As does Mickey who takes the lead of everyone else.

"Good call," Josh confirms.

And Kol figures, "Grab what you'd like," Kol says, with a (13) to find something with which to commit arson. )
