Just at that moment, Valkyrie 5 arrived. The craft touched down and two medics rushed out. checking Austin quickly, they loaded him into the heli, after which it took off immediately.
"We're taking him to a military hospital straight away, it's a miracle he's still alive, so we can't risk waiting for you all to get here and come among. I suggest you finish your mission and regrouping somewhere and waiting untill we can get back.
"Understood." Wildner replied. "Amy, are you allright?"

She could feel his panic, he didn't have to say anything. "Minute and a half now." She answered as calmly as she could. She would attempt to get into his head at that moment, though he'd always been somewhat resistant to her probing. She would try simply to stomp out the panic. Tried to calm him.

"You'll be okay Austin. I can hear them coming now."

Sure enough, a craft had just landed, she wouldn't leave Austin's side until she was sure he was in capable hands. I'm Fine it was a lie, she was never fine, least of all after seeing a teammate go down.

Austin tried to chuckle, but coughed instead. He resisted the probing at first, but eventually gave in, letting Amy calm him down.

"You're sweet."

Arrow arrived on the scene just in time to see Austin get loaded into Valkyrie 5. He looked over at Amy, whose hands were soaked in blood. He ran over to her. Are you okay?

Amy was feeling a little shell shocked, her own panic setting in as soon as he was out of sight. She didn't have to worry about causing him stress anymore. She could freak out for a moment.

She looked over towards Arrow, who'd just arrived on scene. He doesn't look very good.. She told him, instead of answering his question. She wasn't okay.

Arrow knelt next to Amy. He'll be okay.

Truthfully, though, Arrow was more than a little shaken up by the fact that their teammate had been nearly mortally wounded- Again.

His thought translator came through on the comm. "Alright, guys. Cleanup time." the Cyborg Recovery Project had grown so big that they had multiple groups: Including a damage repair or "Cleanup" crew. These moved in swiftly to dispose of the dead Infection, and of course perform damage repairs. Arrow stood up, and held out his hand to help Amy up, even though he knew she would most likely decline.

Amy reached forward almost unconsciously, about to take his hand, before she came to her senses and dropped her hand, pushing herself up off the ground. She hoped they would head back to the station soon, she needed a stiff drink. Today had been wearing on her.

Kenneth collected his stuff and strapped the rifle to his back before descending from the tower. He quickly ran over to the others. "Is everyone allright?"

Arrow turned to look at Kenneth, and nodded.

Come on, we've had a hard day. I think we should get some rest. Let's head back to HQ.

"Valkyrie 5 returning for extraction. Sit tight."

Amy nodded at Kenneth instead of answering the question. ""Austin lost a lot of blood, but the rest of us are fine." She would head with the others back to HQ. Where, assuming she was off duty, she would get a bit drunk, and then eventually go to see how Austin was doing.

"Evac'll be here soon. I'll make sure you'll get some time off, you've deserved it."

"Thanks, Kenneth."

Arrow walked out of the store, and waited for the evac to arrive. When it did he stepped inside; and sat down, exhausted.

Amy would show some restraint when she got back, she would only get moderately drunk before she wandered off, trying to figure out if Austin was being housed there, or if he'd been taken somewhere else, and either way, what his situation was.

Austin was indeed being housed in the HQ's med-bay, where he was being treated. He was asleep, mostly, but he'd wake up every once in a while for a few minutes.

Arrow would shower and head to his dorm, where he'd relax on the bed and reflect on the day, trying to make sense of what happened.

Amy would find out his condition and then went to peek in on him, just to be sure. Eventually after determining that she didn't have anywhere else to be. She dropped herself into a chair in the corner of the room he was being housed in, she would sit there in silence for a while

Eventually, Austin came to and smiled when he saw Amy. "Hey, again."

Amy had nearly fallen asleep int he chair to be honest, but she shot awake the minute she heard a voice. Austin was awake. She looked utterly relieved, one less thing to worry about. She was strangely embarrassed at having been caught watching over him though.

"You're lucky to be alive." Typically cold, socializing was not one of her strong points.

Austin smirked at Amy's obviously intentional coldness, even though she had just shown that she really did have emotions and feelings after all by watching him.

"Well, y'know. I'm unlucky to have been stabbed, so I guess that balances out. How has your day been since work?"

Amy frowned. Well she'd gotten drunk, like she did all the time, but she wasn't going to tell him that. Though probably everyone knew, she didn't try to hide it, though she didn't show much of a reaction outwardly.

She settled for a shrug. "It was fine I guess. DO you have much pain?"

Austin smiled. "Glad to hear it." He knew as well as everyone else what Amy decided to do in her free time, but he didn't care as long as it didn't interfere with work.

"The painkillers do their job for the most part, but sometimes I do get little jolts of hurt. I can deal with it though. At least I'm not dead, right?"
