Closed to Lucio/Open later to medbay

[justice_from_above]

Who: Pharah, Lucio, and any medbay people who want to help
When: After this
Where: Random hallway to Medbay
What: Pharah made some poor decisions
Warnings: Injury

Pharah had plenty of time to think about her poor decision as she tried to stumble back to to medbay. She should have been more on guard, shouldn't have let him get so close, shouldn't have engaged in the situation at all.

But would it have made a difference? Would he have tried to get to her anyway?

Her thoughts are disjunct, hazy, as she threatens to slip into unconsciousness. The wounds Reaper had inflicted weren't grievous, but they were calculated, precise enough to do maximum damage with minimum effort. She leans against the wall for a short break, and winds up sliding down to the ground as she starts losing her battle with blood loss. Whoever this Reaper was, he was well trained and efficient. Almost a perfect counter.

[justice_from_above]

I wouldn't have minded if he was. [She glanced thankfully over at him, then turns back to Lúcio.] You called me captain so I must have given you some kind of introduction. I'm Fareeha Amari.

[She has so many questions, he knows Omnics so he must be from her world, who was this Reaper and why does she feel like she was targeted?] He has these ... metal gauntlets ... the fingertips, they were like daggers ... [She teaches up to gingerly touch the managed on her neck. It's tender.]

[wallride]

Hey, hey, hey. Careful with that.

[lúcio winces when she touches the bandage.]

He's a person? I don't know anything about him, haven't heard anything either.

Nice to meet you again, Fareeha. I'm Lúcio.

[justice_from_above]

[She pulls her hand away from her neck - no, he's right, better leave it be.] I don't know if he's actually a man. He was wearing a full cloak and a mask; I couldn't see his face.

[She dwells on it a little longer, then smiles back at Lúcio.] Thank you, for helping me.

[wallride]

Whatever or whoever it was, they're in a finite area in space. Not a clever move.

No problem, Fareeha. I'm just glad you're okay now. How are you feeling? I can get you a drink or anything if you need it.

[justice_from_above]

[Indeed not a clever move; Pharah lived and she's got friends.]

I don't feel good, but I'll live. [That's the important part, right?] A water would be nice.

[Because her throat took a beating and sitting up and talking isn't really helping any. She settles back against the pillows, quietly chastising herself for letting this happen.]

Lúcio, promise me you'll stay away from him.

[wallride]

I promise. I'll stay away from any hooded, masked figures.

[he means it. his fighting ability isn't great and the guy's clearly going for a kill.

he stands up, casually sauntering over to the closest water source.]

You said your codename was Pharah. What's that about?

[justice_from_above]

[She smiles, faintly. Here's hoping he's off Reaper's radar since she didn't recognize him as part of Overwatch.]

I'm with a private security firm. We go in where others can't and help with specialized threats. Are you familiar with Omnic God Programs?

[wallride]

Vaguely. I don't know much about the Omnic Crisis, wasn't given much of a history education, you know?

[he skates back over with the water, passing it over.]

They sound like leaders, though, with a name like that.

[justice_from_above]

[She gladly accepts the water and takes a few sips before continuing.] Sadly, they are not the good kind. They are AI, capable of overtaking area Omnics and controlling them, taking over area military technology. My unit was deployed to take one out that had freed his restraints.

[Another sip, then she looks at her cup considerately as she rolls it between her palms.] We took it down, but not before suffering heavy casualties.

[wallride]

I'm sorry to hear that, Fareeha.

[he puts his hand on her arm, carefully and softly.]

I'm sure you did everything you could for them.

[justice_from_above]

[She gives a soft chuckle and a small smile, it's appreciative but not exactly happy.]

It took me that mission figuring out how to help them best. But, that's what I do. [She takes in a breath and sighs.] But, they are not whatever this Reaper fellow is.

[wallride]

You think maybe he's AI?

[lúcio raises his eyebrows, bobbing his head in confusion.]

I mean, you've been in here a couple days and I haven't heard anything about him at all. No newly injured people come in. Enemy of yours, maybe?

[justice_from_above]

No, I doubt it. His voice didn't sound Omnic. It ... didn't really sound human, either.

[She gives hum a wry chuckle.] Most certainly an enemy; he made that pretty clear.

[wallride]

Uh huh. Try not to worry about him too much until you're discharged, yeah?

[he pats her hand.]

Focus on recovering.

[justice_from_above]

That's going to be hard; I will have plenty of time to do little else.

[She sounds a little frustrated, because she's the kind of person who likes to keep busy, and this is going to be the exact opposite of busy.]

[wallride]

I'll have to make sure I keep you occupied, then!

[lúcio no]

[justice_from_above]

You don't have to stick around for my sake.

[She appreciates it, though she's sure he has other things to do.]

[wallride]

I want to. I know a few of the medics in here anyway, so I'll get to see them too. Double whammy.

[can't get him down.]

[asafepairofhands]

Actually, he helped clean up--we're debating requisitioning him from his radio position and never letting him leave.

[Ratchet--in his hard light avatar, looking for the most part like a completely normal human--comes around a stack of supplies and over to the side of her bed, checking her IV and the monitors before he looks down at her.]

Good to see you awake, Captain.

[justice_from_above]

Considering I don't think I will be moving for a while, I would prefer Lúcio in the radio booth. [A small smile, she's got a lot of downtime coming her way, doesn't she?]

It is good to be awake. [She may not remember everything about the previous night, but she realizes it was a close call.] Thank you for your help, doctor.

[wallride]

Oh, he was real good.

[lúcio grins and bumps ratchet's arm with his elbow lightly.]

That's a one to one vote! I guess I'll have to alternate. [he ducks down and gives pharah a brief hug.] Seriously, though. Real glad this all went well.

[asafepairofhands]

Huh. I managed.

[He nudges Lúcio back a little, though, his expression not changing in the slightest.]

Please, call me Ratchet. And let me know if you need anything, though as far as I can tell we got most of the fluids you need back into your body where they belong. I'd like a more thorough debriefing once you're up to it, but if you don't think whoever did this is going to come kicking in the medbay doors to finish the job, it can wait.

[justice_from_above]

[Pharah shifts to look towards the door as she thinks about what Reaper's next move might be, if any.]

I don't know much about him, but he did wait to target me in the dark when I was alone. I don't think he's an adversary to underestimate, though. [She did that once already and it nearly ended her.]

[wallride]

Now that's just creepy.

[lúcio shakes his head.]

I think all you can do for now is just stick to the crowded areas if he's gonna be like that.

[asafepairofhands]

Charming.

[Ratchet's voice is a mutter before he heaves a sigh and raises it again.]

You said 'targeted'--you think he was after you, specifically? Any idea why?
