JP - It's Raining Colts

“Fuck.” Tzeitel did not want to run into Thrane either. She reached up her right sleeve with her left hand to touch the gland there, then wiped the oil on the back of Klaire’s hand to make her immune to Tzeitel’s pheromones for a while. For what good Tzeitel’s pheromones did last time she tried to fight Thrane. She stayed close to Klaire’s back, also looking around for Thrane.

“I don’t thin-!??!” Klaire began, only to scream in shock when something slammed on top of the mustang. That something was Colt…he was breathing, shockingly enough, but burns covered half of his body and cuts covered the other half. “Oh, fuck!”

“Colt!” Tzeitel ran over to him. “Shit. fuck. Shit shit shit…” Tzeitel breathed as she took in all his cuts and burns. She wished Frisk was here. She was afraid to even touch him.

“We have to get him off the car,” Klaire said, going into her soldier mode and climbing onto the car. The stink of burnt flesh and all the blood was making her a bit sick to her stomach, but she forced it back to help their friend. The most they got from him was a pained groan and he cringed in pain, his left eye opening partially. “Try not to move. If anyone followed us, they better get their asses here now!”

Tzeitel began giving off nursing mother cat pheromones to help Colt calm and help with the pain as she carefully moved him off the car. “I hope he doesn’t have any broken bones. Where did he fall from anyways?”

Klaire blinked and looked up, but they did not see anything. “I don’t know…” She muttered.

Colt grunted, but otherwise kept quiet, trying not to move much.

Tzeitel’s face lit up when she saw Lyle driving over, then fell when she saw her kids in the car. “Ami shouldn’t be here.” She muttered, turning back to Colt. She was not happy about Cody being here either. He would want to heal Colt. Tzeitel wanted Colt to heal, but she was still worried that Cody’s power was costing him something.

“That’s Colt!” Ami nearly squeaked and jumped out of the car when it stopped. She ran towards her sister and Colt.

Lyle followed after her with a medical kit in tow "what's the situation?"

“Klaire smelled Thrane- Ami and Cody should be somewhere safe.” Tzeitel was giving off the nursing cat pheromones which would have a calming effect as well as making everyone but Tzeitel and Klaire want to drink milk. “Colt’s covered in burns and cuts… I don’t know if anything is broken. It’s bad.”

Ami wished she had a tall glass of cold milk and a stack of oreos. She knew Tzeitel did not want her there but she ran straight to Colt.

“I’m an adult and I can heal his injuries, mom.” Cody stated, frowning. “I could check and see if he’s got any broken bones.” Walking over to them, he helped with Colt so Klaire didn’t make it so difficult.

Klaire sighed heavily and looked at everyone. “I’m pretty sure Thrane dropped him down as either a threat or a message…” He gazed turned to the poor dead guy in the burning truck.

"Patch him up as best as you can and then we'll transport them to the underground" Lyle stated keeping a watch on the area.

“Your healing power has to be coming from somewhere.” Tzeitel fretted.

With Tzeitel distracted with Cody, Ami touched Colt’s arm and tried to use her power. She remembered Thrane, he was so powerful he tossed Piritta aside that time he appeared in their cottage to take Tzeitel. She wanted to know where he was, anything she could learn that could be useful. Though books, cards and board games were easier to absorb information from than people.

The most Ami would get were flashes of Colt trying to help the man that was on fire and him falling onto the car, staring up at Thrane as he seemed to disappear.

Cody wanted so badly to yell at her for her persistence, but refused to do so. She was only like this out of worry for him. “I’ll be fine, mom!” He said stiffly. “It doesn’t harm me!”

Klaire watched Ami, not saying anything. She encouraged and loved Ami to be who and what she was. There was no reason to hide their power…

Ami sighed, releasing Colt’s arm. She looked at the Mustang and the truck. The dead burnt guy scared her, but she wondered if she could learn more if she touched the car or truck.

“For a long time we thought your powers just made you hungry and didn’t realize we were wrong until it cost you three years!” Tzeitel gently turned Ami away from the truck, not wanting her to see the dead man.

Ami’s powers were still activated and she gave a small gasp at the contact, witnessing Colt’s kiss. She switched off her powers.

“You think it doesn’t harm you now, but you could be wrong!” Tzeitel continued, thinking the gasp was from Ami seeing the dead man. She hugged her. “You should have known better than to bring Ami here!”

“Ami can’t hide from the world forever, though.” Cody persisted. “And I know it doesn’t effect me. I’ve been testing it.”

“I know you all want to stand here and argue, but we need to get Colt help before he, you know…bleeds out.” Klaire said.

Anna walked over and looked at Colt. “Klaire’s correct. This man needs help. If he really wakes up, those burns are going to be horrible.”

“Ami’s eleven years old! I wanted her to get a better childhood than this.” Tzeitel’s eyes glistened as she hugged her sister to herself. “You won’t know what it costs you until it’s too late… But since there’s no other choice, heal Colt… please.”

Lyle reached into his pocket pulling out his phone and texting the underground “looks like Riley is going to meet us there apparently Pirrita’s boyfriend was injured in a riot.”

Cody just frowned at Tzeitel, a part of him just disappointed that she didn’t trust him and his judgment. Going over to Colt, he crouched down and started slowly healing the man. “Doesn’t seem like anything’s broken…He’ll need a blood transfusion, though, and I don’t think I can keep him from getting scars from all the burns and cuts.”

“That sucks…” Anna whispered and went over to Tzeitel and Ami. “Why don’t you two go ahead and we’ll follow. Sound good?”

Tzeitel watched Cody and Colt in worry, reluctant to leave them. She looked to Klaire.

“Would you be more comfortable if Colt was in your car, Tzeitel?” Klaire asked.
