Recovery

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Bruises all over, a black eye and pretty tender ribs later, Katara was in the med bay, a little surly that she had to stay here and hadn't had the chance to heal herself. She was more bothered that Alex had to go through all of this though: he was still morose at losing Luna, and when one got down to it, so was she. She missed her friend, but worse off Alex had actually LIKED her in that way. It had hurt her more to see him suffering than any blow he'd given her.

And right now, besides all of this, she REALLY wanted to know that Renne was around. There was a panic in her, thinking that she might never see Renne again. She really, really hoped he was okay.

Billy? I'm in medbay. Can you hear me? Please tell me Rene's okay, or just visit, will you?

"Aye, well, a unicorn is a fearsome beastie. Like a horse, but with a wicked horn on it's forehead that it can use in battle. I had a dream once where it came charging at me, head down, lowered for the kill..."

Jamie starts gesturing as he talks, using his hands to emphasize his point. He's very enthusiastic about describing his dream, it seems.

"I thought for sure that it had me, and then I woke up and found I was back in the TARDIS. The Zord...well, it's like a robot ye can fight with, and it can combine with the others to make a bigger robot." That's about as good of an explanation as he can give right now, and he hopes Katara will at least get the idea.

He doesn't know yet what will happen with all the other Zords, but he knows which one his is, at least. "I can't say for the others, but mine is a dragon." That does bring him back to his point of a few minutes ago. "The reason I've not said who they are yet, though, is because they've not accepted yet."

A horse with a wicked horn on its forehead? Hmm. She supposed you could just avoid the horn and freeze it in place, but that wouldn't be a weapon Jamie would have at his disposal. In that way, she guessed she it would be pretty frightening.

That descriptions was a little strange, but familiar, too. "That sounds complicated, but you know, I'll be the first to admit there is a lot I don't know about robots. They seem to be able to do the impossible, but somehow they always seems to have a sense of humanity in them in certain ways."

Here, she was just impressed. "A DRAGON? That's amazing! One of the most amazing creatures ever!" But sh stopped here. "Not accepted? Really? How?"

[bonnypiperlad]

Jamie looks a little confused by that. "Aye, like I said before, when we were talking about why anyone would turn down the power? If I tell ye who they are and then they do say no..." Well, Jamie thinks it might be a little bit uncomfortable if the subject ever came up.

So, instead, he goes back to Katara's obvious excitement over the Zord, peppering with a series of curious questions. "Ye know about dragons? Do they have them on your world? What are they like?"

She would just have to accept there were some tings she wouldn't understand. How anyone could say to being a Power Ranger was one of those things. She just shook her head in disbelief.

"They do, but just barely. Zuko says firebenders decided to hunt them for sport, so must of them are gone. But dragons are the original firebenders, and from what I hear Aang tell me, they are fierce looking but very wise and knowledgeable about the world. Kind of like Kang, really."

[bonnypiperlad]

"Aye, but Kang's said he's not a dragon." More times than Jamie can count, really. Katara does have a point, though. "Still...Kang is pretty knowledgeable, once ye get down to it."

He rubs his chin thoughtfully. "So why give me a dragon then?" There are a lot of things Jamie would use to describe himself. 'Wise' isn't one of them. "Maybe it's something to do with the fire part. Billy did mention that it could shoot that."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

"Exactly. The creatures in my world, even if they don't speak, are still aware of their surrounds and still feel things in their own way. With the dragons, I guess Aang would have a better idea of how they are. But I think the reason you're Red is actually a lot simpler."

She cleared her throat. "When I look at you I can see if you were any bender you'd be one of fire. The passion is there, the pride of where you come from is there, and you can be just as hotheaded with a topic as I can. I'd say that was a red ranger any day, if what Billy told me abut them is true."

[bonnypiperlad]

Those are good things, aren't they? Passion, pride... "Oh!" Jamie looks somewhat pleased, and straightens up in his seat. And then, the word 'hotheaded' registers, and he gives Katara a slightly confused look. "Hey?"

His mouth pulls off to one side, very briefly. He may be a little slow on the uptake occasionally, but he's aware of how he can be sometimes. "Maybe so," he admits. "It sounds like what Billy's mentioned as well."

It's a lot of responsibility, though, being the Red Ranger. Jamie just hopes he doesn't disappoint him.

"I should probably let ye rest, Katara."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara laughed a little. "Hothead doesn't have to be something bad, actually. In fact, there are a lot of situations as a leader where being that way can help. You just have to figure out when its applicable. I know you'll do that fine though: I don't think Billy could have picked a better red ranger. He knows you pretty well."

She gave him a smile. "Probably a good idea. Go off, do ranger-y things. Just be careful when you can. Steve's current condition is definitely no joke."

[bonnypiperlad]

"Aye, well, unless the slop decides to come to life and try and eat me, I'll be fine." It's meant as a joke, as Jamie doesn't really believe the slop would do that. Would it?

"I'll come visit ye later, Katara, if they don't let ye out of here soon."

He waves, and heads back out.

"If the slop came to life and try to eat us, not only would I not be surprised, I would probably get Starfire to try and eat it. I think she said she thought the slop was appetizing or something."

She loved Starfire muchly, but her taste pallet was kind of scary.

She grinned. "Thanks, but I don't think I could lay down here for too much longer. I AM a healer, and a whole mess more of people are going to be hurt before this is taken care of."
