In his hour of need, he would have turned to his goddess, his mistress for knowledge and guidance. He would have asked, and she would have led him to answers. Even to think it, she would rise to meet his need as she did every time he needed even to know where he’d left his car keys

A dream unfolded, young children, animals, trees and the sun. Crisp, white and vivid left her squinting into the sunlight as the playful laughter and melodious chants of old Greek songs filled the air. She was happy, and that was clearly manifested in the images moving about inside her mind

When he did look up, it was after the mamba already had its fangs in the rattler's hide. Still, the sight of Kate's power unfurled before him was a disturbing thing, to know the extent of that rage and feel it propelled towards him, if not at him.

He released the snake and extended his own arm towards her without thinking, calling that rage to him, into him, using what he could of his power in a futile effort to dispel that fury.

Stop. he pleaded silently even as she came to his side, his wrist already pressed to his mouth as he sucked at the snake bite. Those first aid classes his parents had forced on him as a boy might save his life, if he'd been quick enough. Draw at the wound until blood could be tasted, then spit out the venom and go again...

Spitting his first mouthful out on the floor, he brought his wrist to his mouth again, meeting her gaze. That snake's a killer, and my metabolism is pretty damn high. I think I need to get to a hospital, fast.

His reasons were clear. While the both of them were made with higher purposes in mind, they still inhabitated mortal bodies. In any case that their bodies were threatened they had to treat them as any other would.

For the first time, Katie was worried. If they waited too long, Dog's body would die and his soul would drift into the next world and that was something she couldn't stand to even think about.

She'd spent a few days thinking about a certain way to keep her lover safe; away from harm in a more divine approach, however now was not the time to be talking about it. Time was of the essence.

'Alright..' she nodded, wrapping one hand under his arm, and the other over his chest, securing him close. 'Close your eyes, baby.' she whispered before closing her own and teleporting them around the corner from the emergency room of Cedars-Sinai.

Obediently, Dog closed his eyes and laid his head against her as she held him, completely servile as he always was with her even when the world felt as if it was tilting under him. He'd never experienced anything like it, but as the energies moved within and around him he could only describe it as the universe bending over double, gently sliding him from one end of the rope to the other before springing flat again...

When he stilled, he opened his eyes and found himself somewhere else entirely. It took a moment for confusion to leave him as he spotted a sign, recognized the feel of the building...

Rising slowly to his feet, he glanced at Katie, then back at the building and shook his head. He wasn't going to ask how...he knew better.

"Blind faith, this day." he muttered to himself as he nodded for her to follow him in through the doors of the ER.
