Mordecai picked up Danielle and ran as fast as was humanly possible. That led him to the edge quickly. Mordecai hoisted her up over the wall , jumping up himself after her. when he was up, he picked up Danielle, and ran.

Mordecai ran toward the little town of Fyrestone, where the only "doctor" he knew was. when he entered the fence, he knew he was almost done. Almost done. Mordecai ran into Zed's garage, lying her down onto the metal table and slamming on Zed's door. "We need you out here!"

Zed flung open the doors, glaring down at the woman who lie on his operating table, losing all her blood. Zed knew what was up. She had been shot. She needed help, and that's what Zed would do. Help her.

Danielle was losing a lot of blood. So much of it she may not have made it. Zed kept injecting medicines and stitching things together while Mordecai stood and watched. Mordecai needed her alive. He wiped back tears and said, "Danielle! You can't die! I-I love you..."

Danielle's breath was icy cold, and slowing. Zed was trying to figure out what was causing her to bleed so much. Her shoulder seemed to shrink, due to the loss of blood. Scared, Mordecai pushed Zed out of the way and grabbed a lump of bandage, and put it over her shoulder. Seconds after, her eyes flew open.

Danielle woke to Mordecai's warmth, and he barely noticed. "Hey! Mordecai! I'm okay! Really!" She yelled, grabbing his arm off her shoulder. He looked at her face. The color was back in it, and her mask was just small enough to show a reassuring smile on her lips. He noticed the blood wasn't spilling from her shoulder any longer. "What the hell?!"

"I cut off circulation to my left arm," Danielle started. "I also cut off blood flow to it." Mordecai's face twisted into a confused look. "You can do that?! God, your race is freaking amazing. Anything else your not telling me?" Mordecai said. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it," she replied.

"You couldn't have done that in the first place?" Zed screamed, agitated. "I needed someone else's warmth. Weird I know." Danielle answered. "Sweet, Mordecai's your 'warmth'!" Zed teased. "Shut up. At least I saved her." Danielle sat up and took off her vest. "You did," she said with a smile.

She walked into a room right of the room Mordecai and Zed were in. She looked at the stains on her shirt, and decided to wash it. She removed herself from the shirt, and placed it in a bucket filled with water. She pushed at it and waved it around, trying to get the blood out. She knew it would take too long, so she put her clean-enough vest back on, just so she wasn't naked. She walked back into the room and said, "What? Don't hate."

Zed didnt mnow what to say. He couldn't resist staring. Especially because she had a broken, limp shoulder. She seemed fine, too. "God damn, girl!" Zed finally sputtered, and slapped his mouth afterwards. "No, it's alright. I'll accept compliments," Danielle joked. Mordecai shook his head. "Why exactly aren't you wearing your shirt?" Danielle pointed to her blackened shoulder. "It needed to be washed," she said, walking back in the room.

Danielle put the shirt on the clothesline outside. When she walked back inside, Mordecai was holding a bandage to wrap her shoulder in. "Thanks," she said as she tied it on her self. "Let me help you with that," Mordecai said, pulling the bandage for her. Danielle blushed. 'I am in a bra, you perv." She teased. Mordecai just shook his head and laughed.

Mordecai left a strange looking coin on his desk, and followed Danielle out the door to get her shirt. She walked back inside to put it on. "You're a lucky man, Mordy." Zed said as he stepped out with him. "What do you mean?" "Your girlfriend. She's a catch." Zed said smiling. "She not my girlfriend, I'm just taking care of her until she hates me." Danielle walked over to Mordecai, smiling. "We should get going," she said, winking and walking away. "Get her, Mordecai." Zed said as he slapped him on the back. "No," Mordecai laughed.

Danielle heard what Zed said. "Yeah, Mordecai'll keep that promise while I'm around." She whispered to herself.

Mordecai rubbed the back of his neck. "We should get going," he said. "Mordecai, can I ask you a quick quest'n?" Danielle said, playing with the tips of her hair. Mordecai turned to face her. "What?" He said. "Is it true what you said?" She said with her head down. "That you love me?" Zed raised his eyebrows at Mordecai. "Well?" He said, obviously on Danielle's side for this one. Mordecai hooded. "I do," he finally said. "I love you, Danielle."

The twinkle in her eyes was refreshing to Mordecai. He'd never seen a girl so happy because of him. Girls always hated him. "Mordecai... Man you're a good guy." Zed said. Danielle ran to him, and swung her arms around him. "Mordecai, I love you too."

He pushed her off him, and put his hands on her shoulders. Danielle was confused, and then he put his lips on hers.
