"Stay with me, Crow. You're going to make it."

He's not as calm as he sounds - there's a hint of ice to his voice as he turns his focus, for the moment, to the outlaws, solidifying and shrinking the cloud of darkness over them.

He's sick of this. People getting hurt under his watch, taking hits meant for him, being hurt because of him. He joined Paradigm to protect people, but who the hell has he protected?

Enough of these games. He sends a barrage of shadow bolts peeling off the "walls" of the shadow cloud, aiming to bombard the outlaws until they're put out of commission or at least driven out of cover!

Yellow lights up! Mark is ok!

---

Aaron pelts the hell out of those outlaws! One drops a key card as they're knocked out!

"Shadow...man..." Crow holds up his hand to Aaron!

Mark goes to the other end of the hallway, then!

Eliott waits for him to get through first so she doesn't potentially mess up the pattern. Once he's at the other end, she'll do so as well.

"I'm here."

Once the bombardment lets up, Aaron wraps the key card in a little bubble of shadow and brings it to himself so he can pocket it! Then he takes Running Crow's hand, trying to use his power to seal the wound and keep things more or less in place.

"We're winning. You're going to be okay."

"Shadow man...use devil magic to heal Crow...?" He nods!

---

Mark and Eliott make it to the other side! They make it to a large metal door with a simple touch panel to open it!

"I don't know if my powers can heal you, but I can try to keep you going until we get home. Just relax, don't strain yourself; I'm going to try something."

It might hurt. Might not. Listening for any sounds of incoming trouble, he tries to use his powers to fix Running Crow up at least a little! It's no regenerative power, but he can at least plug up the holes, stave off infection, try to hold together things that just got blown apart.

"Once I'm done here, I'm going to go do what we came here to do, but I'm going to come right back for you, okay? I'm not going to leave you behind."

It doesn't seem to be helping much! Running Crow isn't looking any better!

"I thought...you...hero...?"

Mark and Eliott end up in a large room!

((Ending action, Mark and Eliott have a separate follow up and Aaron can continue conversing or whatever he plans to do!))

Aaron continues to try, though the question makes him blink and falter!

"I... I am, Crow. And I'm going to do my best for you."

Was he? Was he really? He tries to look Crow in the eye and focus on doing, well, whatever he can.

It wasn't going to work, was it? This just isn't how his power works, it doesn't even make sense, but he has to try.

"Stay strong. I'm here, I'm going to figure this out."

"Don't give up. Don't you dare."

Aaron keeps working, even though it seems to be in vain! If he can't do anything else, maybe he can make things comfortable for him. He can be here at the man's side.

But he's still going to try to do something. The racing of his heart and the thoughts whirling in his head demand it.

"Think about something else. Tell me a little about yourself."

Aaron isn't sure what to do! He doesn't have more than basic field first aid training, and with this injury they'd need a hell of a lot more than 1870s-ish medical technology could do.

Maybe there's something in here? But to look would mean abandoning Running Crow. He tightens his grip on Running Crow's hand as he briefly looks around for Leif, hoping to get her attention if she's still in the room!

"Relax, Crow. It's tough, but I think this can work. Just rest, okay? Don't push yourself, you did well."

He tries to keep the shaking out of his voice, stay strong. Another person dying somewhere it probably should've been him, and this time he's even more helpless than with Miranda. But he can't not try. He tries to gently seal up any open wounds he can find on Running Crow, solidify shadows to hold together damaged blood vessels or reconnect tissues, things like that.

When he looked around, any chance he saw anything resembling a medical kit?

No such luck! He plugs the holes fine, but the damage is probably mostly internal!

Attempting to physically hold together damaged internal bits with his power didn't have any visible effect?

Far too intricate at this stage! In fact, it may be hurting even more as the smallest misstep could aggravate the injury!

A good point, especially since despite Aaron's knowledge of anatomy, his medical training is only basic field medicine! He focusses on just holding things as they are for now and trying to keep Crow from worsening, as he does another quick scan for anything that looks like it could possibly be a medkit or medical-related.

In fact, is there anything of interest at all in this room?

Looks to be more of a lounge/bar area! Nothing medical!

No chance there's any signs posted anywhere?

...Are those two goons still lying there unconscious?

That's actually worrying. Aaron might only have basic training in medical treatment, but his long martial arts training taught him a lot about how the body works, enough so to know if they're not awake by now, something bad might have happened.

"Leif, I need to concentrate on keeping him together. Can you try to wake one of those guys up, make them tell you where they keep the medical equipment? Be careful though; if he looks like he's going to do something... well, do what you have to. I'm not letting you both get hurt on my watch."

The words hurt to say, but still.

"You're going to... try to keep him alive?"

Leif cocked a brow, giving a shake of her head.

"It's a little late for that."

Even so, she went over to the goons to check their status.
