*Eyes burning with teary rage, 13 shakily walks to the drugged and dazed BlueMask, venting his fury. He grabs the ninja by the throat, hoisting him into the air.*

What did you do to her?! *He hurls the BlueMask into the infirmary wall, hearing a sickening crunch. Dismissing this, he returns to Fly's side.*

It's alright, you can't die...that's my job, remember? *He smooths her hair and smiles weakly, voice cracking as he tries to console.*

Just give it time, you'll get better..just don't leave me again...please..?

Simon sighs, "Pain, give me a hand, please."

Together they lift 13 off of Fly's prone body, careful to untangle him from the IV line. Simon gives him a little shake, "Look, 13..." He pronounces the name crisply, THirTeeN, "She needs rest now. Just rest. Come on."

They pull him out, even as he clings to her hand. "No! It's my fault! She can't die! CANNOT DIE!"

As 13 says the last words, he whirls on Simon, who is already closing the door of the infimary behind him.

"Listen to me, all of you." They manage to fall silent, except for River, who is softly crooning under her breath. Simon drops a hand on her shoulder and she quiets. "Fly isn't sick. Her body is going through some trauma right now. We just need to keep her hydrated and resting quietly."

"Not sick?" Pain asks, his concern clear, "Then what's wrong?"

"I'm not at liberty to say, Pain. Doctor-patient privelege still means something, even out here." Now the doctor shrugs, "I'll keep her as comfortable as I can, but she'll just have to ride this out."

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I think my other patient may have just suffered a fatal incident."

Simon sighs again, and goes back into the infirmary, leaving them all staring at his calm acceptance of 13s violent attack on BlueMask.

*Pain's mind is racing. A part of him wants to beat the doc senseless and the other completely understanding that what the doc said was right. Pain muttered something in Chinese and stormed out of the infirmary, heading to his bunk.*

*13 is pacing outside of the infirmary doors, gnawing his fingernails. His eyes are blue lightbulbs, illuminating a haggard and tortured face.*

Christ...what've I done? To her, to everyone...

*River calmly walks to the 'bot, placing a delicate hand on his arm.*

"It's not too late to make it right. You can still help her, whether she knows or not." 13 pauses, eyes stopping their glow.

"She has to know. About what you've been trying to say. Don't listen to him, he only seeks to prevent what you want. Just be there for her, not anyone else."

13 chuckles hollowly, saying, "Pretty coherent, huh? It's harder than it sounds.." His voice breaks, and he says through tight lips, "If you knew what had been happening, what has happened, you wouldn't be saying those things."

"But I do. And I said them. What does that say about yourself?"

*River walks away, leaving a silent, slowly comprehending 13.*

Ertia watches Pain go, understanding his anger, but unable to help.

Wolf is just looking in the window of the infirmary, pondering River's words. He's known readers, understands them a bit. Slowly he starts to dissect what she said, trying to to puzzle it out.

Inside the Infirmary, Simon has lifted Blue Mask onto the counter, inserted IV and placed an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. From the grim look on his face, Ertia can tell it isn't good at all, but Simon is honor bound to do his best.

She sighs, curls her arms around her knees. She should go wash the dishes, clean up, maybe even take a shower and scrub some of the ink from the cargo labels off her hands, but she's too damn tired.

'I'll go upstairs in a minute', she thinks, her eyes blurring wearily as she watches Simon work.

*Quickly, calmly, and quietly, 13 enters the infirmary, Simon's back turned.*

"Simon?" 13's voice is placid, and unnervingly flat.

"I told you not to come in her.."

"Shut up. I know what to do."

*He pushes Simon away, taking care not to use his full strength. Opening a cabinet, he draws an adrenaline needle, quickly prepping it. After that, he slices the tip of his left index finger off, revealing a blue volt of electricity.*

"What do you think you're doing?" Simon says angrily, trying to take the adrenaline from 13.

"She OD'd, didn't she?" Simon is silent, then nods almost impercetibly. "I've seen it often enough. Hell, used to happen to me once a month. Now, just be quiet while I do this, and try to stop me again, I'll turn your arm into dust."

*13 walks over to the prone Fly, adrenaline needle raised high. He plunges it directly over her heart, injecting it into the pump. Working quickly, he places his mutilated finger over the needle, electricity flowing into her.*

"Come on, come on..."

*Fly's eyes open, and 13's smile is genuine.*

errr... actually, 13, she was in withdrawals. Between wolf sedating her and you adrenalin jacking her, you would have just killed her.

Meanwhile in Pain's Bunk....

*Pain sat on his bed, a half empty bottle of whiskey from his private stash in his hand. He thought to himself, anger radiating from him*

Twenty gorram years!! I've known Fly for twenty years and we were involved for fifteen of them and this was the first time she's held somethin' back from me!!

*Pain slammed some more whiskey down his throat and got up. He felt the effects of the alcohol as he set the bottle down on the footlocker, walked over to the wall, and swung his fist into the vid screen. He drew his fist back and looked at the broken monitor and the splotch of blood in the center of the broken screen. He lowered his bleeding fist, walked over to the foot locker, grabbed the bottle of booze, and slumped down near the broken glass on the floor. He took another swig from the bottle before throwing it across the room and watching it shatter against the ladder. Pain sat there, back against the wall, tears streaking down his cheeks.*
