He flinched back from her touch, hitting his head again, but it was too late to stop the vision from showing him more blood about to be on her hands. His jaw clenched as he watched Willow shoot a man, as she ignored his pleas for mercy. “What the fuck did I do to you?” he hissed when the world came back into focus.

“This is just for fun,” she purred, pressing closer to him. “You know, my sister could probably touch you and all you’d see from her is booze and sarcasm,” she laughed, fingers skimming the air in front of his face.

By the time Cord got there, Eli had managed to get a breathing tube and the first shot of epinephrine into Gabriel at least, but the epi wouldn’t really do anything until the arrowhead was out.

The rest of the few moments before Cord’s arrival were spent checking Gabriel’s responsiveness, making him as comfortable as possible and running him through what needed to be done to prepare him for what lay ahead.

He didn’t need to ask stupid questions, he could see how bad it was. Honestly, it was a miracle the kid was even awake. Keeping him stable long enough to cut the arrow out was the challenge.

Once it was out and his airways were open enough, Cord stepped back. “When do you want to move him to an actual hospital because I don’t think Ava realized how bad Gabe is.”

He scowled as she moved closer, but didn’t bother trying to get away from her. He knew she was stronger than him. Most people were, really. “Aren’t wolves notoriously bad at doing casual?” he shot back.

“He’s still young,” she returned before reaching out and poking at his face. She had been tempted to kiss him again, but this was just as fun.

“Just tell Cord I got a shifter in full silver anaphylaxis in need of full IV work up and I’ve only got a crash kit to hand right now. Tell Leland to grab a portable nebulizer and oxygen supply, but get Cord here now because if I don’t intubate that kid in the next couple of minutes, there ain’t gonna be a kid to save, and that’s going to be a challenge on its own since I can’t put him flat on his back.”

Eli felt like he was barking orders, which he didn’t like, but there wasn’t time to be polite. He needed to at least stop Gabriel’s airway closing up to lower the risk of oxygen starvation and cardiac arrest, or they’d have double the shit to deal with.

Ava didn’t answer as she merely vanished on the spot and repeated what Eli told her to Cord. It didn’t take Cord long to gather what he needed. He grabbed what they needed the absolute most and told her she could bring Leland back through to grab the rest. 

Ava hadn’t gotten the chance to tell him it was Gabriel so when they got back to the house, Cord froze up for a moment. But he swallowed back the shot and started pulling out what they needed while Ava left to fetch Leland, passing Kori on the way up the stairs.

And with that, she became his first kiss and he hated her for that as much as for the violent visions that flashed through his mind the instant her lips touched his. He instinctively pulled away from her, smacking his head against the doorframe. He glowered at her, trying to even out his breathing once again. “I don’t think that boyfriend of yours would be thrilled with this.”

His words made her laugh and she stepped closer, essentially keeping him back against the wall. She doubted he would appreciate it, but she didn’t care. “I’m not sure I would call Tiernach my boyfriend. More of a casual fuck buddy.”

“I’ve got just enough epinephrine in the kit to keep him from suffocating for about half an hour in his current state, but I can’t risk putting him under to cut that thing out of him in case he stops breathing, so I’m going to have to intubate him and he’s gonna have to be awake for that. Only problem is I need more than one pair of hands to cover keeping him stable enough to operate. Someone needs to monitor his breathing and blood pressure so he doesn’t crash, and he’s going to need someone else dosing him with IM epi until he’s hooked up to an IV for continuous epi delivery, plus an antihistamine and cortisol, and an oxygen-salbutamol combination to open his airways back up. I told Warren to call Cord and Kori, so as soon as someone can get them here, the better chance we’ve got of saving him.” Eli explained gravely, not liking that he had to lay out so much information, but they didn’t have time to deal with things piecemeal.

She held up a hand, knowing there was absolutely no way she was going to remember all of that. “What do I tell Cord so they know what to grab? Because I am not going to remember all of that,” she answered, knowing Kori was likely grabbing her own supplies and heading over. It was definitely less of a distance for Kori and she did have better means of travel. “Cuz I can go get Cord no problem and if you need additional people, I can call Leland home and have him swing by New Orleans to grab Callie.”

That on the surface, it read like it was just a matter of solidifying in Chance’s mind that Sera belonged to him, it still surprised Azrael that that of all things would even occur to Chance in a way that meant he was attempting to make a meaningful gesture instead of going a much simpler route that only involved signing a legal document and paying a fee, and Azrael wasn’t entirely sure that Chance consciously recognised that this was more significant.

“Is it something Sera wants to do without being coerced?”

His gaze went to the still closed box and he squirmed at the question. The fact that there was a glaring chance of Sera laughing or telling him no had definitely occurred to him and it was obvious that the thought of it affected him in some manner or another.

“I haven’t asked her yet.”

“I did,” Azrael confirmed, a little impressed under the surface that Chance had actually paid attention and was actually taking a step toward respecting that. He wasn’t quite ready to trust his motives, however.

“Can I ask you why this is your plan?”

He shifted his weight from one foot to the other, free hand clenching into a tight fist. 

“We don’t have the same last name.” It sounded stupid and insignificant, but it bothered him to his core. It was bad enough two of his kids had changed their last names, not that he could really blame them, but this was something he could change in a simple manner.
