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.
[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.
[ 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. ]
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.
[Blue's eyes fix on Daisy for that beat, that warning. she's not wrong to be cautious...though he quietly fears what could happen to those unsuspecting of danger.
but if it was just Newt and himself harmed, then maybe it's pretty self-contained.
his gaze only returns to Marta when she places her hand on him. now he can glean a better sense of her concern and focus; he feels a little more normal for being able to sense it.][he pauses. don't implicate Newt, huh...]
It felt...like a tear. [he lifts a hand away from the glass, bringing it to his face, fingers lightly grazing across. a tear.
he closes his eyes.]
I can...barely feel it. The things...outside myself.
[Daisy hardly knows Blue, and while she wants to trust him to not say anything there's no guarantee that he won't. Which is part of why she stays here. For all she knows, he could just be telling Marta all of this without Daisy being aware of it. Her gaze flicks over to her, trying to discern any changes in the expression on her face.]
[ but there is nothing on marta's face but confusion, coloring that concern. ]
So.. something happened, [ here, she glances daisy's way again, quietly hoping the other would elaborate, ] and whatever it was, it's affecting the way you normally feel things? Is that right?

no subject
[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.
no subject
I don't know. It didn't...feel like anything from there. But I don't know for certain.

...Teeth. Raw...emotion. I don't...remember thoughts. Or words. Just...impulse. Violence. Fury.
Not Newt.
no subject
And it's terrifying.]
Does Dr. McCoy know about this?
no subject
I've been here. Just here.
no subject
[Shit. Daisy runs her fingers through her hair as she thinks of her next move.]
Can I get you anything before I go?
no subject
this is degrading.]
Water.
I can't get it myself right now.
no subject
Do you want me to call someone for you? You should probably get checked out.
no subject
Let the doctor tend to Newt. I can wait.
no subject
[And maybe they should. He doesn't look too good right now.]
no subject
I don't think I could if I wanted to.
no subject
Someone's coming.
no subject
Hello? Someone called for medical help?
no subject
Blue lifts his head, looking from the door to Dasiy. she can help, right...?]
no subject
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.]
no subject
—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?
no subject
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.

...I can. I'm sorry. The injury is not...bodily. I don't think. [he hesitates again.] It's...something new.
no subject
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.]
no subject
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?
no subject
but if it was just Newt and himself harmed, then maybe it's pretty self-contained.

no subject
to her:] Anything more I say...only muddies the water.
[perhaps this was a mistake.
he closes his eyes and exhales harshly through his nose, and Itachi's words come to mind, insisting he see one of the doctors anyway, because...]
...Perhaps...it is because I am dying.
[again, to Daisy:] Don't let these words leave this room. Not yet.
