[Sokka had been gathering pink markers for Toph out of one of his junk suitcases when he heard Jim's voice on ShipNET. It was nothing out of the ordinary, the normal kind of prattle-- at least, until the conversation continued.And Azula's voice came on, mentioning his name ( Read more... )

i can't do this alone, !!elegante, so i'm the leader, if it's a broken part replace it, hold your own, if it's a broken arm then brace it, if it's a broken heart then face it, painful painful humiliation, goodness gracious great balls of fire, teen boy squad

[Jim's life? Sucks pretty badly right now. Not only had Azula succeeded in taunting him to the point of not caring about a fight, but she'd gotten him into the one place he was legitimately afraid of, immobilized him with more practiced chi-blocking techniques, and beaten and burned him to hell and back.

Yeah. Jim's life sucks about now. And the sad thing is, he knows it's his own fault. He'd lost, badly; he really couldn't pick his fights. So it doesn't make the burns and the heat and the excruciatingly painful breathing any better.

He winces when he hears the door and tries to stay calm until he hears the voice calling for him. When did-- Oh. Right, he'd been recording the whole thing. Maybe he did have some gift of foresight occasionally. But God, just breathing hurt, let alone trying to move to sit up. Okay, so maybe Sokka could forgive him this one time for not getting up to greet him. His voice is almost breathless.]

H-hey...

I heard it, I heard, I ran as fast as I could, I should have taken the stupid stairs, the elevator was a dumb decision, I'm sorry--

[All the words just tumble out and he has to fight to think again. Who can he take him to? Can Katara heal this? He looks... awful, there's no way... AMU, they could go to AMU, the robot thing could help.]

Can I move you? I'm gonna carry you to AMU. We're... we're gonna get you patched up, Jim, we're going to get that thing to heal you. This is beyond Katara, I don't-- I don't know how she could possibly...

[The waiting between Azula leaving and Sokka coming had given Jim a few minutes to try and calm himself down and he'd finally done that, been okay with his Big, Big Screw-Up, but Sokka freaking out was bringing the fear back. Way to go, Sokka.

Still. He had to admit, that was one particular lie Azula told he was glad wasn't true. He takes a shaky breath and looks at Sokka; he's tired, why are you making him talk.]

...I screwed up. M'sorry.

[Sokka pales even more, extra fear gripping him. Jim, you didn't answer his question. That, more than anything, makes him worry. His hands are starting to shake, he hates it in here.]

No, no, it's okay, it--

[He heard the whole conversation, he knows Jim shouldn't've taken off after her, but.... he'd done the same thing, once.]

I would have-- I'd've done it too, it's okay, it's fine. I'll... beat you up over it later, after we get you to AMU, come on, where doesn't it hurt? So I can get you up and going. I'll carry you.

[He's repeating himself, but he doesn't realize it yet.]
