Are you afraid of the Darksoul? [Part 2]

[birthmural]

[[OOC: This right here is required reading if you're going to tag. OOC organization is here

For too long the firstborn son of Satan's demonic soul had been trapped, denied his rightful control over Daimon's body. Now, thanks to Mei-Xing, he was finally free. The next course of action was obvious- he would have to take control of one of the beings on this ship. He could start with the vulnerable and move on to the more powerful. He had to act fast before that fool recovered. Fortunately he needn't go very far. The city was full of potential victims.

Now, now. Who to possess first?

The left in Kaylee's next exhale as a black mass that quickly faded. There was a wave of intense anger before it too passed.

You will regret that. Then the darksoul was gone.

It was all too familiar a sight. And the only reason he wasn't going to grab the Colt was because it would have meant killing Kaylee. And he didn't want that. Bad enough Bobby had to kill his possessed wife, like hell he'd ever go through that.

"Yeah. Eat me." He retorted as he watched it leave. But after that, he was immediately moving forward to check on Kaylee.

Please, please...

Jamie takes a half-step forward, wanting to go to her side as well. But, for once, he manages to restrain himself. Dean would know better than anyone else here if she was free now, and he has more right than Jamie does to be there at this moment.

He can respect that, but still can't help from pushing himself up on his feet to try and get a better look. The vial of iron bits is forgotten for the moment as he focuses on Kaylee.

"Is it gone?" Is she okay?

Carefully, Kang untied Kaylee's wrists and moved off of her, resisting his own urge to pull her into a hug; Dean got first dibs, practically being her mate by that point. His wings were still a little twitchy as he stood up, glancing over at Jamie, "It's gone."

Breathing comes first. Kaylee focuses on catching her breath again, letting her arms flop to the ground after Kang unties them. She feels sick and completely exhausted, but the Darksoul is gone, it's okay, everyone's alright and he didn't get what he wanted from the console. Still doesn't make her feel any better.

As Dean moves closer she musters up enough strength to lay a hand on his arm, fingers gripping at his sleeve. She tries pushing herself up with his help.

"Jamie--" she starts, then pauses to inhale and try again. "Jamie, console." He should know how to back out of most of it, at the very least. Kang's here and can probably help, too.

Oh God, Kang. The mechanic avoids eye contact, instead falling against Dean once she's sure Jamie is moving toward the console.

Dean reached out to get his arm under her to support her weight to help her. He mumered softly to her, "I got you baby, I got you."

As much as he could, he gathered her close to him even as the guilt was sinking in more. He was cursed, if he hadn't got close and admitted how much he loved her, she might have been ok.

[bonnypiperlad]

"Aye." The orders are probably the best thing for Jamie right now. It gives him something to focus on and push down some of the worry he's still feeling for Kaylee. She seems so tired...

Focus, Jamie. He goes to the console and starts to slowly try and reverse what's been done. He's seen it done enough that he can back out of it. At least, he thinks so.

He just wishes he understood it better. Hopefully he won't screw anything up.

"Kaylee, it's okay," Kang still stood close to Dean and Kaylee, worried. He had a pretty good idea of part of how she must have been feeling. "Did I hurt you?"

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

"Xie xie Jamie." Yep, thanks, for fixing her mess.

Kaylee lets Dean help her sit up, shaking her head at Kang. Every inch of her is exhausted, and some of it hurts, but she really can't tell if it's from him or the strain of the situation. There will be more than a few bruises, she can tell that much.

"Kang, Jayne..." She points off to a corner of the room, where she'd left the bashed-over-the-head Jayne.

Dean was stroking her hair, and keeping her close to support her. If she seemed at all tired or unsteady, he was going to carry her so she could lie down. His eyes followed where she pointed, and gave a brief hiss in surprise at sight of Jayne. Shit, poor guy. Be another one to explain to later.

She was in no shape for much of anything right now he knew.

"Come on, Kaylee, let's get you out of here, ok baby?" He was shoving the encroaching guilt down some more. Dammit, he couldn't protect her, and now this shit happened.

[bonnypiperlad]

Jamie glances up as well, and grimaces as he catches sight of Jayne - then turns his attention back to the task of undoing the commands that were entered.

He's still typing fairly slowly, for a myriad of reasons, but whatever it is he's doing seems to be working. Finally, he closes his eyes, going to hit the last button that will either finish the reversing of the sequence or cause very, very bad things to happen.

The button is pressed, then Jamie cracks open an eye to take a look. Nothing seems to have blown up or otherwise gone wrong, and he opens the other eye as well, pretending to look like he knew what he was doing all along. "Oh. Well, that's alright, then."

Dean seems to want to take Kaylee out of here, and Jamie doesn't blame him. He's thinking getting out of here's not a bad idea, either. And it occurs to him he'd better go find the Doctor and warn him about what's going on.

"Kang, do ye think ye can carry Jayne? I need to go find the Doctor."

[governorkang]

Nodding, Kang cast one last worried glance at Kaylee and moved over to Jayne. Damn, she had hit him hard, from the size of the bump on his head and the blood. He was breathing, though. He knelt down and got an arm around the man's shoulders, "He's a big man, but I'm not tiny myself. I can handle it."

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Kaylee doesn't make any move to leave right away. She makes sure Jamie has backed out of the system alright, and that Kang is alright with Jayne before she finally nods to Dean to help her up.

Thankfully, she's able to stand, though fatigue requires her to lean on Dean a little more than she likes. It's not going to help her case of, 'I'm fine,' later on, that's for certain. She grimaces, hand gripping at the back of Dean's shirt, as she leans to make sure everything really is alright with the console. Jamie did a good job of it, even if it's something that they shouldn't have had to worry about in the first place. She gives him the tiniest of grateful smiles.

"Ready," she says to Dean.
