[ Adora - well, sort of Adora. She's... very glowy and has a tiara and probably taller. Anyway, it's Adora. Hi everyone. ]

Hey - hey, everyone - I just ran into the killer again. She - got away. But she hurt Catra very badly. I'm taking her to the infirmary right now. Can someone meet me there? I think I healed her a bit, but she's still in bad shape.

[ There's a pause. ]

Oh, right, I guess I'm She-ra again. Long story.

I... should be the first person she sees, but-

[ Adora's expression settles into something determined. ]

I should also be out there. Looking. I have my powers back. I'm not hurt. I can be useful.

[turntex]

We're 0 for whatever the fuck right now. Literally no one has come out of an encounter with this bitch still feeling good about themselves. And I'll just drop in the fact that I am a literal god and I still got my ass kicked.

[Not boasting, just. Y'know. Facts.]

So yeah. Chances are, you run out there on your own, you're gonna get hurt and-slash-or killed. And then she's gonna wake up to that news, and it seems like a dick move to inflict a distraught catgirl on everyone stuck in the infirmary.

[His mouth twists with a frown, and he lifts his comm where he's multitasking, shooting off messages with one hand trying to get people on the same page.]

At least wait until we've got more info or a crew together ready to take her down. Maybe preserve one of the still-unharmed powered up folks we've got for a fight we can actually win.

[princesspower]

I was... well, I wasn't losing to her, at least.

[ Adora frowns. She wasn't winning, either, and she was very much distracted. She can't say she would've won, but she likes to think she would have. But doesn't everyone? She sighs. ]

I get it. I do. So... I'll wait. Even though I don't like it.

[ She gives him a look and a frown. ]

I do have some healing ability now... but it might take some time to recharge and I don't know how effective it actually is here.

[turntex]

[Whoo. Success. He lifts his broken arm slightly in its sling, wincing just faintly as he does so.]

Sick. Well, if you want a lab rat, I'm also chomping at the bit to get back in there. Just fuckin' gnawing at that shit. The bit is fucked at this point, to be honest, we really gotta replace that thing.

[In all seriousness, Dave isn't actually entirely sure what the "bit" in that phrase refers to. Something involving horses, he thinks, which will surely go over well with horse girl here.]

[princesspower]

Uh. Hold on-

[ She steps forward and gingerly takes his arm with her fingers. She takes a deep breath, then closes her eyes and concentrates. For a long moment there's nothing and then a rainbow-y glow suffuses her hands and fades into his skin. Her power is weaker here, but... in this case maybe it will speed the healing along and help with the pain. Nothing super dramatic, though. ]

...I think that worked?
