[the best he can do to address that unease is to slowly open his eyes and fix them on her.]

Did you feel it? That...horrible sensation. [his brow starts to knit just thinking on it.]

I've never...been torn into like that before. Never...

[Daisy wasn't expecting that question, and it shows with how off guard she looks.]

I felt...

Something.

[She doesn't know how to describe it.]

You said something about his thoughts. When you were trying to--?

Did he do this to you?

No. No that...that wasn't him.

There's something in him. It's different. It's violent.

[Well.

That's not good.

Understandably, Daisy looks terrified.]

Something in him? Like he's possessed?

I don't know. All I know...is that his thoughts...they suddenly cut out. And when I searched for him...something horrible lashed out at me. It wasn't him.

[he closes his eyes, his expression fraught.]

I can't...reach out. It hurts if I try. I'm sorry. I can't...be sure.

Don't. Don't try to reach out again.

[Daisy says firmly, having seen first hand what it could do to him.]

Do you think something came back with him? From the last mission.

[he opens his eyes again, but they aren't looking at her.]

I don't know. It didn't...feel like anything from there. But I don't know for certain.

What did it feel like?

[he doesn't answer right away, quietly swallowing as he reflects again.]

...Teeth. Raw...emotion. I don't...remember thoughts. Or words. Just...impulse. Violence. Fury.

Not Newt.

[Daisy's trying to figure out the 'whys and hows' as Blue explains what he saw, but she's got nothing.

And it's terrifying.]

Does Dr. McCoy know about this?

I don't know. I don't know if...Yzak spoke to him of it or not.

I've been here. Just here.

Okay.

[Shit. Daisy runs her fingers through her hair as she thinks of her next move.]

Can I get you anything before I go?

[...

this is degrading.]

Water.

I can't get it myself right now.

[Frowning, Daisy moves over to the small bathroom and is relieved to find a cup in here. Filling it with water, Daisy comes back and holds it out to him.]

Do you want me to call someone for you? You should probably get checked out.

[while she's doing that, Blue sees to getting himself sat up a bit, scooting back against the headboard to free up his hands to accept the cup.]

Let the doctor tend to Newt. I can wait.

There are other people who can come check up on you.

[And maybe they should. He doesn't look too good right now.]

[while sipping carefully:] I won't turn them away.

I don't think I could if I wanted to.

[Daisy sends out a text and almost immediately gets a response.]

Someone's coming.

[ that someone takes all of seven minutes, from the moment of daisy's first messages to her knuckles sounding against the door. marta's voice comes filtering in, steady but urgent. ]

Hello? Someone called for medical help?

[the knock is a surprise. he...didn't sense anyone coming.

Blue lifts his head, looking from the door to Dasiy. she can help, right...?]

[Daisy quickly answers the door, opening it to see an unfamiliar face.]

Hey, thanks for doing this. He's over here.

[She's not even sure how to describe what the hell happened to Blue because she still doesn't fully understand what happened.]

Something attacked him.

[Daisy doesn't want to throw Newt under the bus. Not when there's still a lot that's unknown.]

[ daisy is an unknown, but when marta's eyes swing over to the other person in the room, recognition sets in. ]

—Something?

[ marta steps in and rushes to blue's side, quickly looking him over. there's urgency in her tone, but not enough to overtake the gentleness there. ]

Where does it hurt? Can you speak?

[that woman... from the north wing...

Blue's surprise lingers, but softens, watching her owlishly as she scans him over. he seems outwardly the same, though he is slower to react and respond to her words. her feelings are...hard to parse, just as Daisy's are. it still hurts to try.

speak? he hesitates, flicking a look to Daisy before taking one more sip of water and giving it a shot:]

...I can. I'm sorry. The injury is not...bodily. I don't think. [he hesitates again.] It's...something new.

[Stepping off to the side, Daisy looks from Marta to Blue. It seems like they know each other at least. Does that mean she knows about his powers?]

I don't want anyone pointing fingers at Newt until we know the full story.

[Daisy thinks as loudly as she can, hoping Blue could hear her.]

[ blue's shifting draws marta's attention away, but when daisy makes no response she forces her focus back on the one in need of her help.

carefully, she lowers herself so she is at eye level with blue, reaching out to tentatively rest a steadying hand on his arm. ]

It's easier for you to use your mind, right? That's okay. But I need to know what the problem is, or I won't know how to help you.

You said it's not your body? Is it your mind?
