JP - Saving Olle

“What are you going to do?” Piritta asked, finally tearing her eyes from her phone.

“Please drive, Joel!!!!” Anastasia panicked.

Riley threw on his old vigilante mask " bring him here. Joel wheel" he spoke before running to the car.

Joel yelped before running up and taking the wheel.

“I thought Riley only wore that with River.” Piritta muttered.

Anastasia looked confused, but calmed down a bit, silently hoping Riley would be okay.

After a couple of minutes Riley could be seen on the tablet , fighting his way through the crowd.

Piritta perked up, whoever was controlling the drone must have noticed Riley and began following his progress. “Mene Riley!”

“I-is he okay?!” Anastasia blurted.

“Se on pirun mellakka, ei kukaan ole kunnossa.” Piritta muttered, hoping it would show Olle soon, and that he would be okay.

“W-why did a riot start anyway?” The other woman in the van asked, trying to get a glimpse of the screen.

Riley could be seen picking up the injured man before disappearing.

“Because Campbell Brantley is a complete asshole that hates metas.. Even though he probably is one.” Piritta replayed Riley picking up the injured man. She was pretty sure that it was Olle now.

“Why would a meta hate metas?” Anastasia looked very confused now. “That…that makes no sense…”

Riley appeared in the van again with the injured man "medkit" he panted pointing to a box.

“Because it gives him power. And he’s an asshole.” Piritta grabbed the medkit and brought it to Riley. She stared at the man, it was Olle. He was badly, badly hurt.

Something about seeing Olle triggered an instinct within Anastasia and she was suddenly next to them, taking the medkit. Without a word, she got to work on any visible injuries she saw, doing everything she could to stop the bleeding. It was the only sign of Loreen left in her - that need to help.

“Hei- what are you doing…” Piritta trailed off when she saw what Anastasia was doing. Olle was still unconscious but the bleeding was stopped.

Riley watched her with interest as she patched Olle up.

Anastasia blinked and looked confused when she was done. “Uhm…what did I just do?” She asked, not even realizing what she’d just done. She had stopped the blood and even given Olle some stitches with what little they had, the doctor in her determined to save him.

“The fuckers broke his wrist.” Piritta pointed out, not completely satisfied.

Anastasia looked over Olle’s wrist and worked on it, doing her best not to cause the poor guy any more pain than he already was in. With what little they had left, she made a make-shift splint and wrapped his wrist up.

Piritta watched Anastasia suspiciously. “When will he wake up?”

"I…I don't know. He needs blood. It looks like he lost a lot of blood…" Anastasia commented, noting how pale Olle was. "D-do you know his blood type?"

"Joel get us to the underground" Riley said taking a seat next to Anastasia.

Piritta shook her head ‘no’. They never even talked about her being a meta, their blood types never came up.

Anastasia got a worried look in her eyes as she double checked to make sure Olle wasn’t bleeding anymore. “We…we should get to the Underground…they can find out, right? Right?”

“Toivon niin.” Piritta said. She was feeling guilty for not answering her phone when he called, maybe she could have told him what to do to avoid getting so badly hurt.

"I'll text them so they'll know we're coming" Riley replied looking at his phone. Once he was done he scooted over to Piritta and hugged her.

Anastasia could only sit there and make sure Olle was comfortable, her eyes almost hollow as she looked over the blood on her hands now. She was horrified by it, shocked at what she was able to do, and wondered if what they said about her was true. Why couldn’t she remember anything, though? Why did she only want to help if she were supposed to be so evil? There were far too many unanswered questions in her mind…

“Kiitos Riley.” Piritta hugged Riley back hard enough to make his ribs crack before releasing him and turning her attention back to Olle.

Joel stayed silent as he drove them.

Riley looked over to Anastasia "you alright?"

“Yes, I just…I don’t know how to feel…” Anastasia said and returned to her spot in the back.

Piritta started carefully washing the blood from Olle’s face with a bottle of water and her shirt- which she had shed.

"Yeah you never really get used to seeing blood" Riley sighed thinking of Megan.

Anastasia nodded and started to look around for something to wipe off the blood with. She wanted it off her hands.

“How far are we from the Underground?” Piritta asked Joel.

"Couple of minutes at most" he replied.

"They'll be meeting us outside with a medical team" Riley assured her as he passed Anastasia a towel and peroxide "it'll help get it off."

“Hyvä.” Piritta said, sitting back now that Olle’s face was clean. She wished he would wake up though.

"It's going to be ok" Riley told the Finn.

“Toivon niin... Hän ei herää.” Piritta said, uncharacteristically worried. “Minun olisi pitänyt vastata puhelimeen.”
