10th Widows Web - accidental dictation on Event Horizon-

[well_assembled]

[She work up screaming, echoes of it bouncing off the walls in her room, a room that dripped blood and she was reminded of Sankranti again.]


The night mare that woke her was still vivid in her mind and she scrambled to the toilet and wretched into the stainless steel basin. She could hear them in her mind...voices..screams...the begging for mercy.

The children..oh dear God they had been children. Natasha wiped her mouth on the back of her hand and stared at what was a waste of food. But she heaved again and again until there was nothing left and her abdomen ached.

The redhead pulled herself to her feet and drew water enough to wiped off her face, the remains of her previous days meal jettisoned from her and he bowl. She'd have to be careful, only eat if she felt she could keep things down, maybe the ship had stimulants she could use instead.

Finally she looked into the mirror, blood behind her, all around her and a child..a child reaching for her. She whirled, one hand slapping to her thigh but her pistol wasn't there, it was by the bed. The child wasn't there either; just her imagination.]

Jesus Christ...pull it together. There is nothing there..that was a long time ago.

Different place, different life....but they were just children.

[that voice - the redheaded Russian from the drinking game. M frowns. if she's seeing things that aren't there... it doesn't bode well at all for everyone else.]

What's happened over there?

[well_assembled]

[British commanding tone, she knew it instantly. It was the woman she'd met that night. The woman who set off every red flag she had, oddly it wasn't in a bad way. Nat almost snapped to attention, as near it as she could in her condition and made her way back to the bed to find her journal. She must have flipped it open in her sleep, unsurprising given her nightmares.]

Nothing, just dreams. This place inspires some bad ones.

[savethedarkness]

I've heard about the blood on the walls, yes. [she frowns] And here I thought we'd had a fair enough dose of blood and regret for the season.

But you're not hurt?

[well_assembled]

No ma'am. [It seemed right to attache the respective address, something she picked up in her training she supposed.] Perfectly fine.

[savethedarkness]

Good. The more capable, sensible people are in one piece on the other side of this bloody door, the better. [frustrated? M? never.]

[originalcopy]

Nat?! Nat are you ok?

[Oh shit she was here too? No, no not good.]

[well_assembled]

Church! [Her voice pitched too much with that and she swallowed hard.]

Yeah, fine. how are you? Where are you?

[Please just don't be on the Horizon, please.]

[originalcopy]

[He pauses for a sec and forces himself to sound casual. She's fine, he's fine, everything's fine.]

Oh you know, just hanging on the good ship gore-fest.

You?

[Please be on the Lewis & Clark.]

[well_assembled]

[Her eyes closed and her head dropped.]

I'm on the Event Horizon too. Been trying to access ship's logs but...their corrupted or something. It's going to take a while.

[Talk work, work was good, work was neutral.]

[originalcopy]

I found the bridge, but nothing seems to be working right.

South and I have been using it as a place to rest. You could join us if you like... safety in numbers.

[Mutual security, that's all. More eyes means more chance to avoid danger, more chance to fight it off if it shows up. That's what a team is for right, having each others back.]

[compromisedarrow]

Natasha?!

[well_assembled]

Clint, tell me you are on the Lewis and Clark.

[compromisedarrow]

Yeah. I am.

We're trying to get to you. [A pause] Are you okay?

[well_assembled]

Just stay over there! [The note was almost panic in her voice.]

I'm fine, everything's fine.

[compromisedarrow]

We'll get in, get everyone out, get back on the Lewis and Clark.

[Hear that? That's stubbornness.]

We'll get you out, okay?

[wizard_redfive]

Natasha?!

[Dear Powers that Be in a bucket, her screaming was not what she expected early in the morning.]

Natasha, what happened?

[well_assembled]

Dairine, no..no everything's fine. Just a nightmare.

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine sighs in relief. Though everything is NOT fine, and she knows it. You scared her there.]

Thank goodness. I thought... nevermind.

Other than the nightmares, are you all right?

[well_assembled]

Yeah it's just...

It's nothing.

[wizard_redfive]

Just what?

[Yeah, not buying that nothing answer.]

You should try. As hard as you possibly can.
