Wraith stepped through UG’s Harrowgate with Serena still unconscious in his arms Relief that she had remained out for the journey was tempered by worry that she was, in fact, still out

"Get E and Shade," he snapped to the nurse at the triage desk, and without slowing, he strode to the nearest exam room Gently, he lay Serena on the bed She didn’t even stir For awhen his hand came away bloody Dammit, where were his brothers?

"Five minutes, maybe"

"Her name?"

"No That’s the thing Nothing should have been able to touch her, right?"

"Daot to her"

"That’s impossible"

"There’s no other explanation, Wraith"

The heavy strike of boots on the stone floor announced Shade’s arrival, and the curtain swished open "What’s going on?"

E’s dark brows drew together "Head injury I need you to do a system check and see how bad"

"This is Wraith’s charmed human?"

"Except for the charave hie nurse to find Gem He turned back to Shade, who had pallowed as his gift flowed from him to Serena, and it took every ounce of patience Wraith had to keep fro with questions

Finally, Shade opened his eyes "No skull fracture, but she’s got a substantial subdural he to have to fix it"

"It won’t require surgery, will it?" Wraith asked E could repair injuries, but only if he could touch theo under the knife, she’d be in the hospital for an extended period of ti the situation would require so power, and I’d hate to be in the ain Not to ery isn’t eneral healing wave, see if that works"

"I’ll monitor the injury and blood flohile you do it" Shade closed his eyes again

Wraith watched as E grasped Serena’s arht as Shade’s He heard someone approach, sensed Gem before he saw her She stood quietly next to hilowing

Shade exchanged glances with Eidolon "I think you got it We should get a CT scan though, just to make sure"
