Not Exactly A Good Day

[numbered_doctor]

It's been a while since she's been in the Bar. Between very long hours at work, and House running the team ragged, she hasn't even had time to think about Milliways, let alone come here.

Today is different, though. Milliways has usually refrained from pulling the young doctor in, since she had found a stable door, but now, she's stumbling in, almost unseeingly, and it takes her a moment to realize where she is.

Remy's certainly seen better days, hair a mess, red-rimmed eyes, and, oh yes, did we mention the blood? Though that's not exactly on her mind at the moment, as she's just noticed her lack of door and has turned to pound on the bare expanse of wall, leaving bloody prints as she hurls insults and generally screams at it.

"Incredibly." The grin really belied the inner wince. She'd wanted it, a lot, once. Ah, youth.

"How you feeling?" If time stopped on the other side of Remy's door while she was away, well, she'd need to brace herself and go take care of her dead friend now. The sooner the better for her mental state.

[numbered_doctor]

Remy's smile fades as she takes stock of herself, and that brightness about her does so as well, though not completely.

"Better, but still hurting," she admits softly. "Definitely not as bad as I was."

[futures_of_ash]

"That hurt won't go away any time soon." Rachel admitted, sliding an arm over the girl's shoulder. "But you should take care of things now, or else facing him, and your world again, will just become more painful."

[numbered_doctor]

"I know," she says with a sigh, leaning against her friend. "But it was good to be able to catch my breath here, I've had my breakdown, and it's time to deal with things."

She looks over at Rachel, and the woman receives a chaste peck on the cheek.

"Thanks for helping."

[futures_of_ash]

"It's what I'm here for Remy." Rachel ruffled the girl's hair and made as if to push her off the rafter. "Breathers, breaks, and the bandaging in between."

[numbered_doctor]

She chuckles softly, half-heartedly pushing away at the hand.

"You always have been," she says warmly. "And you're awesome at it."

[futures_of_ash]

"Practice" she admitted easily, finally pushing Remy off the rafter entirely. There was teke to catch her before the floor!

[numbered_doctor]

There's a startled shout as Remy gets shoved off of the rafter, along with a choice word or two as she falls.

Once she's on solid ground, she brushes herself off shakily, but there's a bit of a smile on her face.

"Brat," she quips.

[futures_of_ash]

"Catering to my audience." Rachel answered, standing in the rafters and taking an elegant bow. "Don't act like you didn't enjoy it."

[numbered_doctor]

"Adrenaline junkie or no, shoving me off of the rafters without warning? Really?"

Too bad she's grinning throughout the whole admonishment.

[futures_of_ash]

"Really." She laughed cheerfully. "And don't tell me you didn't see it coming either!"

[numbered_doctor]

"I didn't!" she protests, trying to un-ruffle herself while hiding her grin. "Try to have a heart-to-heart and I get shoved off a high place."

[futures_of_ash]

"Whine whine whine. See if I push you off things again." She waved a hand dismissively. Do some people a favor and all they did was complain!

[numbered_doctor]

She scoffs a laugh, grinning broadly all the same.

"Aww, love you too, Rachel!"

There's no hurry to her next movements, though she does start to amble towards the place her door's just appeared at.

[futures_of_ash]

Rachel shadowed her from above along the rafters, though perhaps shadowing wasn't the right term. Shadowing implied, well, darkness. Remy was walking in a veritable ocean of flickering lights as Rachel grinned.

[numbered_doctor]

Remy tosses her friend a good-natured scowl. Vampires Doctors aren't supposed to sparkle, damnit!

[futures_of_ash]

It was just every bit of air around Remy! Really.

Rachel would totally poke a sparkly vampire.

[numbered_doctor]

Sure it was. That's probably not how everyone else sees it.

Despite the sparkles, Remy arrives at her door, laying her hand carefully against the wood before tossing a look over her shoulder at Rachel.

"You going to keep hanging around up there?"

[futures_of_ash]

She really didn't care what other people saw. They were free to misinterpret things, it was only human! "Sure, it's cozy up here."

[numbered_doctor]

She sighs dramatically.

"Not even going to come down and say goodbye before I head home for some downtime?"

[futures_of_ash]

"Nope" She grinned and hung upside down from the rafters for a moment. All those sparkles suddenly swept forward to hug her though. Full body light hug! That had to count for something right?

[numbered_doctor]

Remy 'acks' quietly as she's suddenly squeezed on all sides.

"Christ, you sneaky, superhero, you."

Her indignant air evaporates, and she flashes a fond smile as she opens her door.

"Take care of yourself while I'm gone, Firebird. Listen to what Bar tells you, and eat."

[futures_of_ash]

"Stealth is, sometimes, necessary in the super hero line of work." She chuckled and swung back up into the shadows. "I always listen to Bar."

[numbered_doctor]

She sends a wink in Rachel's general direction before sauntering through the doorway.

["Wouldn't be an awesome friend if I didn't remind you."]

And with that, the door shuts behind her.
