"What's wrong with Elle?" one of the worms asked as the group poked their heads out of the tent to see what was going on.
"She fainted," X muttered as he knelt down beside her shaking her shoulders as bit to try to wake her. Nothing. She was out like a light.
"I think you need to get a doctor over here or something." Frank said as he padded over and looked critically down at Elle. Pasty white really wasn't a good color on humans.
"You know, I'm a doctor," Zealtor said as he moved forward eagerly to be able to examine his new human specimen.
"Not you," X grumbled. Zealtor was a fellow alien but that didn't mean that he trusted him. "I've heard things about you. You'll probably try removing her brain or something! She's a human! She doesn't have much of a brain in the first place! She' can't afford to loose it! Just stand right over there by your tent and offer suggestions from a safe distance!"
"Alrighty," Zealtor said with a cheerful smile. "I don't suppose they passed out first aid kits, did they? Maybe some nice smelling salts would bring her around."
"What about some nice coffee? That always wakes me up," one of the worms said as he moved forward with a cup held out only to trip over one of the puppies. X cringed as the liquid splashed all over Elle. She was going to kill him for that. Well, she would if she ever woke up. The coffee bath certainly didn't seem to have done anything to help.
"You know you aren't handling that fainting according to MiB regulations," Agent U said as he came out of his tent on the other side of Elle and X's and strolled over, giving X a disapproving look.
"The MiB does not have a regulation on fainting!" X grumbled as he looked down at Elle, trying to figure out how to wake her. If he looked at U, he was going to have to hit him.
"It's regulation 506 in the manual! Don't tell me you never read your MiB handbook!" U exclaimed. He swore that the new agents were getting more and more incompitent by the day.
X glared at U again. This was really just too much. Humans were awful in general but U was the top of the heap in regards to awfulness. "This is my partner that's fainted! I'll handle her the way I want! Why don't you go and have your own partner faint and you can do things exactly by the rulebook? Oh, that's right. You don't have a partner," X said with a sly smile. "Apparently I'm doing a little something right. Zed did issue me one. He gave you rulebooks. Now who do you think Zed likes more?"
X stood, stalking over to U, and grabbed him by the tie. He drug the annoying agent back to his tent and stuffed him inside, securely zipping the tent flap shut and tying it with a nearby piece of rope to prevent escape. Maybe if he was really lucky, U would suffocate in there.
"Isn't she awake yet?" X said as he came back to Elle's side. Zealtor was leaning over her, much closer than X would like.
"Not yet. Are you sure you wouldn't like for me to take a look?" Zealtor asked.
X thought for a moment about what to do before reaching down and picking Elle up. he carried her into the tent, grumbling a bit when he saw that the worms and the dogs had already claimed the middle section. The worms had already decorated it with cans of coffee, what looked suspiciously like Zed's coffeemaker and a framed portrait of some human who X thought he had seen on a coffee commercial once. That left the two side sections for him and Elle. He debated a moment before carrying her into the smaller section and laying her down on the air mattress inside. He would never fit in there but it looked nice and cozy for a human.
X looked up to find Zealtor had followed him in and was standing in the flap leading to Elle's section of the tent. X stood and moved over to the alien doctor, patting him down quickly to make sure he had no sharp instruments on him for removing brains before motioning him over to Elle's side. "You're a doctor," he grumbled. "Get her out of those coffee soaked clothes! I'll go and get her things."
