Mark lies on one of the beds in the infirmary, his chest heavily bandaged. It's only been a few days since the incident in the graveyard, but he hasn't gotten out of bed yet.

In fact, it's the first time he's opened his eyes since then.

He comes to slowly, blinking rapidly, before groaning and touching at the bandages on his chest.

"It hasn't... healed yet?"

He supposes he shouldn't be surprised, it was a pretty horrific wound.

"Does it usually?" Eliott grunts from his left, staring down at him with crossed arms.

She looks like she's been there for a while!

Mark glances over at where the voice had come from, surprise registering in his eyes.

He hadn't expected, or even known, that anyone was there.

"I haven't been this injured before... but I thought I would heal faster."

Evidently, that lack of experience had cost him. He wouldn't be caught off guard by that level of injury again.

Eventually.

"Oh please. He's tearing at your ribs and you don't even use those very bones to assist you! You're lucky I deleted that crazy goth and had time to save you!"

That's not how it was supposed to go!

"I thought the bones to the brain and neck would finish him. I was wrong."

Mark frowns.

"....thank you, Eliott. The handicap I set for myself would have ended up having me killed."

"Yeah, it could have. Maybe you should start treating these supernatural occurrences more seriously."

At least with that wording it includes metas and...demonic creatures.

"I was serious."

He's never anything but.

"I misinterpreted the level of danger. It's good that I was the one to fight him in melee combat."

"First of all!"

Here we go.

"You were not the appropriate level of serious! If you'd actually taken it seriously you wouldn't have bothered handicapping yourself. Face it, you're COCKY and it costed you. It could have costed us, too!"

By that she means herself, mostly. She looks even more frustrated.

"WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE NEXT POINT. YES, IT'S FANTASTIC THAT YOU FOUGHT HIM HEAD ON RATHER THAN THE REST OF US BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU DIED? THE REST OF US COULDN'T TAKE HIM ON CLOSE QUARTER! GO ON, I'LL LET YOU THINK ABOUT IT."

"You would have lived."

Mark says simply.

"If I would have died, the rest of you should have been able to escape in the time it took him to kill me."

"Wrong."

She gives him a thumbs down.

"No one would have just left you behind, idiot. And say we did? That thing would still be roaming."

"That doesn't sound right."

Mark shakes his head.

"It would be smart to leave me and regroup, after learning of the man's strengths and hope to find his weaknesses."

She slaps him on the forehead.

"Yeah it WOULD be, but leaving someone behind is FAILURE."

"....understood."

He nods.

"I won't fail again, then."

"If I do, you will make up for me?"

It's an honest question.

She actually looks taken aback.

"If I fail, will you carry on for me?"

She clearly doesn't understand.

"Because of the others, you seem to be the one who will most likely live."

He picks at his bandage a little.

"Of all of them, I know you the best."

"If you know me so well why do you expect I'd carry on for you?" she asks a bit more quietly than her usual flustered screaming.

"You have the highest chance of living."

He says, surprised she'd even ask.

"As we established, you are smarter than me in many ways."

"Yes, that's true."

Horribly true.

Mark frowns and looks away.

"Is that the only way?"
