Gwendolyn punched once again. And again. It continued for a full minute or so until she tired herself and stopped to slowly lower herself back on the bed. An arm wrapped around the pillow while just listening to Annalise try and comfort her, slowly shifting herself to face the Ranger Head while she had to control her quiet sulks to not be audible. The humiliation struck through her very core, wanting to crawl underneath the covers and just hide away from the entire world.

It all sounded like niceties used to placate her emotion. Temporary answers to get her to calm down while her flustered self continued to suffer underneath the pressure of everything. She didn't say anything and just continued to fester in her own thoughts, the long hand grabbed the pillow with an audible squeeze. She closed her eyes tight, clenching her jaw shut for a moment or so before she could speak again.

"I don't know if I can do it." Gwen admitted, bordering on tears again. "Agh-I don't...I can't go back, n-not again. Please don't let me die..." Emotion caught in her throat. A glob of regret and sadness that lodged itself firmly into her windpipe. She heaved her chest again, summoning every ounce of courage to will herself to speak again, despite the fear of the unknown.

Her own hand fell into the other woman's, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I'm sorry, this head injury makes it hard to focus on thinking sometimes. It just changes at times a-and I..." She paused for a moment, then looked up at the other woman honestly. The one thing in her mind from that cave was still so present, the revelation that Gwen had been keeping from herself for so long. All quickly brought to the forefront as she took a moment, then spat out whatever came to her mind first.

"I just want to have a purpose, I don't know what I want to do in life, and this is just making it harder."

But there was a reminder that she couldn't stay cooped up in here, longing in her own failure forever. A name came to her mind at one moment that reminded of of something important.

freya morningstar.

"Fuck, fuckfuckfuckfuck! She's depending on me. She's depending on me and I let her down." Gwen punched the bed again, then turning back to Annalise again in the middle of her frenzied, troubled train of thought. "Is Freya okay? She's not hurt, is she? I have to get her coffe ready, a-and make sure she's eating, and make sure she's alright." Gwen tried to get out of bed again and rush out, though was held back by tubes and things wired into her.

"How soon until I can leave, ma'am? The hospital staff won't know how to care for her. I've got to make sure she's alright."

Was this what war brought? Wounds that weren't physical but straining the relationships and worry of others/ Gwen still tried to get up despite everything, with her legs wobble as she neared the edge of the bed once more.

In her hysteria, Gwen tried to catch her breath just as Annalise hurried into the room and was there to watch Gwen screaming at the top of her lungs about her bandaged arm. "I-It's not there! I can't lose it! My arm..." Fingers felt around the fleshy nub that only exacerbated the torment that she was experiencing right now. When the other woman walked in and tried to comfort her, Gwen had managed to quell her shouts and cries long enough to be helped back up onto her feet.

Gwen hugged Annalise tightly. Even with a single arm, her distress was visible. She continued to sob, resting her chin on the other woman's shoulder. "Y-You think that everything's going to be oka-ay? Sootopolis is underwater, we don't know how many *hic* people died, a-and now I can't do anything! My dominant arm is gone! I can't write, can't work on tech, can't use a phone, and Ah-Augh-I can't be a Ranger anymore!"

Now fully on the bed, Gwen was still inconsolable. She curled into a ball, sitting up on the bed while the heart monitors let out frantic, fast paced beeps. "I don't know what to do...I don't have money for any of this. How am I supposed to work with one arm?! You're going to just discharge me and hope I'll just slink off somewhere and..."

She was far too upset to continue her frantic shouting match at Annalise, pounding the bed with her remaining arm.

Heavy, stomping feet carried Gishath into the hospital. The moment that he had touched back at the mainland, he tossed Gwendolyn onto his back and took off in a dead sprint towards Dewford, where the other Rangers were in queue. The airlift was going to be far too slow if she was in queue, and to the rebellious dragon-type, he knew he could arrive faster. The Garchomp sped across the routes, beckoning out a roar at any who were foolish to get into his way.

Once arriving, he would burst through the door carrying the wounded Ranger, much to the surprise and horror of the other doctors. They took Gwen as he tried to follow but was prevented by some of the staff here. "I know that it's scary, b-but we can't fit you inside of here, given the- Hey! Wait up!" The resulting tussle later, the Garchomp was running through the halls, searching for the room that his trainer was inside. Staff watched in fear as his growl sent them searching for cover.

When they did eventually find the Garchomp, he was coiled around Gwen's bed, not letting anybody come near him while he lay in rest underneath the girl. Once the staff had treated Gwen for her injuries, she lay in the bed, resting comfortably. From the upper elbow down, all that remained of her arm was a stump that was bandaged.

The moment Ameena returned with food, Gwen's mouth watered beyond control. After numerous meals of mash and what amount to "fake food" that was thrown in a microwave, a real, heart meal was what Gwen wanted. Ameena regaled her about a mix up between taxis as she tore into the food ravenously. It was like she hadn't eaten in days, at the rate the ranger consumed everything. The burger lasted, at most, 20 seconds until Gwendolyn had finished the first and picked at the fries. The second she slowly passed down to Gishath beneath the bed and began to eat whatever mastries that Ameena put near her.

"So good!~ Is everything from Galar so sweet?" she asked Ameena in a brief moment of pausing between bites, then going back into scarfing down food. Once it had been about ten minutes of chatting and chewing on stuff, Gwen was fast asleep in her bed. The exhausted ranger grumbling a name every now and again while she let out soft snores. "Zzzz...Gwo...bin..."

but i didnt know that freya was up so early...
[break]
and ive saved that little recipe for her coffee down, ill make that for her the moment i can. thanks
[break]
now about ur questions
[break]
1) she's as busy as ever, maybe more. kinda hard to tell based on what work she has me doing, but it's been an uphill battle since the start. seems like no matter how much you get done, there's always something else to be done. i can tell, she's bottling up a lot and not telling me, like taking care of a moody teenager.
[break]
2) ive tried getting her to eat anything i make, but all she does is eat little bits at a time and let it go to waste. do you have any advice for what she likes to eat, oh great keeper of freya?
[break]
3) hurt is an understatement. ive heard about what's happened to her. growing horns, molting scales, . i want to be there for her, but after i nearly died...would she even want somebody as weak as me to bother her?
[break]
4) absolute 2 hours a night so far. it wouldn't surprise me if even that was somehow less. how one woman can fucntion on two hours of sleep and enough caffiene to kill a cufant is wild
[break]
im trying to help, but i dont know how...
[break]
she's somebody important, surrounded by other people who matter, and enemies with people who could destroy anybody effortlessly
[break]
i just make her coffee and take care of her. but i cant solve turning into a lizard
[break]
were you at sootopolis???

Her hands around her was a comfort that Gwen had needed immensely. She hadn't felt so alone since, well, forever, really. Only a few choice people had visited her and those that did were rather only more official visits than anything. Even Robin was...No, she would come eventually. Gwen was sure of it. There wasn't any way that her best friend would forget about her in a condition like this. They were a thick as berry stew, which Goodras did enjoy back at her old work.

Gwendolyn had put on an emotive face, but Ameena could likely tell her overexertion had taken its toll. Her grip relaxed on the woman and she was starting to nod off again. At being asked what she wanted, a loud growl came from her stomach, while Gwen slowly lowered herself back down onto the comfortable bed. She adjusted the covers over herself again and stretched. "Food would be nice." she said with a sigh. "This preset menu they have here is like eating gruel. I need like...the biggest burger they make. A-And cake. Like super sweet cake. Chocolate."

Her eyes closed while Gwen smiled, imagining the taste of actual food for a change. "If you could get that I'd love you for it..."

Gwen listened, as much as her wounded pride would allow her to. The young ranger sniffled and allowed Ameena to speak to her, well impressed by how the older woman conducted herself, alongside the declaration that she wasn't going to be thrown into the garbage can as long as she was around. Gwen's cheeks flushed at some of the wordage used in her rant about wanting her by Ameena's side, but the message was clear. She sat, stunned by the promise made to her.

"M-Ms. Abadi..." she said, feeling the hand inside of her own squeeze at Ameena's promise to pay for everything. Her ranger insurance had paid for most of the operation and medical bills, but the out of pocket cost was still going to be costly. So the promise of somebody paying for all of it was something that made her weep harder. Even offering to pay for a top of the line prosthetic for her. "Thank you...Thank you..." She hugged Ameena again, crying harder while looking down at her other lone stump to the side. Despite missing the chunk of flesh, it did its best to wrap around the other woman's body.

She was desperate, clinging onto Ameena for answers she didn't have, support she couldn't offer, and some kind of way to let her know that her life would continue on despite everything. Gwen continued to silently weep, letting out pained cries and more. Her arms fell around Ameena, squeezing her tight while busying her face into the other woman. With one a single arm, the stump would only dig into the older woman's side.

A reminder of her failure.

But Ameena's question had made Gwen take pause. She looked up from her side to wiped the tears out of her eyes at her question. "N-No. You're one of the smartest people I know. I-It's just..." Gwen let out a soft whine, squeezing her again. "I don't know, I don't know what I'll do if they kick me out of the Rangers. I don't know if my other job will want me back either." Her mind went to freya morningstar and whether or not the woman would truly want to see her again.

Yet a voice in the back of her head ate away at her. The feeling that she didn't truly want to see Gwen again. And she couldn't blame her.

Gishath looked up from his position around her bed, his tail brushing against her leg as the dragon-type kept his eyes honed in on Ameena. Golden, intimidating eyes that let her know that he was watching.

"I trust you, with every ounce of my being."

"Mmmm..." Gwen let out a groggy noise while her blurred vision slowly returned to her. She wasn't sure what had happened or where she was now. Her brain felt like it had been smashed into a fine paste and her body felt somehow even worse. A single, wet cough came from her while she blinked several times to clear her head. The sanitized, bright lights of the room became known to her as the muted sounds around her grew louder.

A hospital? Wasn't she supposed to be underground or in some rock cave or something? She didn't really understand what was happening or if she was still alive. But people and doctors were moving around outside. Although faint, she could hear them talking to patients or chatting amongst themselves. Did that mean she was alive? Gwen didn't know, but she couldn't stay here. Not when robin coello was out there somewhere.

Her left hand slowly gripped the railing of the bed and pulled hard enough to make her slowly move. Her legs ached, but she found it within herself to force them to crawl over the bed. The exertion had taken its toll on her as the steady rhythm of the heart rate monitor was picking up. Yet Gwen continued to push herself into a semi-seated position. Cords and more wires across her body had been weighing her down, and the taste of metal stung in her mouth. She eyed the next thing to grab hold of, the IV drip stand and reached out with her right arm...

The resulting sound was a loud, booming noise as machines, monitors and more had fallen over, alongside Gwen tumbled out of bed, entangled in the wires.

She winced, looking at the outstretched arm in front of her, or lack thereof. From the top of the elbow down was just a bandaged, smooth stump. No fingers or even a hand to speak of. Just a dull throbbing sensation where it should have been. The ranger stared at the loss of her limb as the sounds around her quieted down once again. Abject fear burrowed into her heart, as she let out a terrified screech, grasping the stump as foosteps neared her room...

She felt a warmer hand in hers, squeezing it return as Ameena would speak. Her throat was irritated, scratching along with every drawn breath while even in her dormant state, Gwen could make out the other woman's worry. She didn't blame her, if the roles were reversed, she would have done the same exact thing Ameena had done. "Sorry to-" she tried to apologize, but was cut out as she let out a single phlegm coated cough. "-worry you."

She extended her right arm to grasp the plastic bowl of juice left for her by the hospital staff out of instinct. It was ony when she remembered about her lack of a limb that she winced and reached for it with her non-dominant arm. After a long sip, downing every last droplet of berry juice contained inside, Gwen would feel the taste of mucus and blood lessen.

The burning question that Ameena wanted an answer for: who did this to her? Gwen moved herself to sit up partially as she was beginning to feel more awake now that she had some time to get a drink and have somebody to talk to. It was pretty lonely here, especially so if the one person she wanted to see still hadn't come.

"I did." she answered weakly. "I was helping...somebody get civillians to higher ground when Kyogre pushed through. My Xurkitree got caught in the wreckage and was going to electrocute the people in the water. So I...jumped over the cliff to get call him back in his ball. So the people wouldn't die because of me."

A pang of silence was shared between the two, while the ginger looked over at their interlocked hands. Her own pale skin clashed against the woman's tanned brown, as her thumb came to rest on top of Ameena's palm. There was some hesitation between the next few words, though Gwen's expression soured into a sullen expression. "I don't think I can help you anymore, Ms. Abadi...They're saying that it's going to be a long road to recovery. A-And I might not be able to return to the rangers if my condition gets diagnosed too severely." she said dejectedly, turning her face away from Ameena so she wouldn't be able to see the tears welling in her eyes. "Ah-I don't want to be like I was before coming here!"

She pushed herself up again, the heart rate monitor by her picking up as she was panting try to sit up and clutch at the other woman. Tears spilled down her cheeks, as her stressed state was beginning to worsen. "I can't do anything anymore! No more field work, no throwing pokeballs or climbing rocks. I can't even use my phone anymore! I'm useless to you and everybody else..." Gwen stopped to catch her breath, her vision smear a bit from the exertion on her body. The heart rate monitor was picking up to concerning levels, but nothing serious. "All because of this...fucking arm."

When Ameena walked in, a Garchomp would be coiled around the frame of the bed, his dorsal fin up and eyes honed in on her with a sudden growl. It took a while for him to recognize the CEO, and his threats had quieted down. Gwendolyn's room was silent, with the sole occupant resting in the hospital bed. She was asleep on her side, often fidgeting or shuffling around as if disturbed.

The IV drip and equipment beside the bed were alight with vitals, signatures and more. The younger girl's head was wrapped in bandages alongside numerous other places where medical wrappings were present: both legs were practically mummified, her left arm had blips every now and again, but she was alive.

If Ameena were to read the clipboard by the front of her bed, it would have been a fairly grizzly sight. Gwen had been retrieved and shuttled to Dewford for being in critical condition following an explosion alongside nearly drowning to death. Miraculously, she had pulled through enough to be moved out of the ICU and into one of the normal beds, though the most significant injury made itself known as Gwen had awoken from her slumber and rolled onto her back again.

Her right arm, up to above the elbow, was absent, with the end being covered in gauze. The left fared better, only possessing some cuts and bruises.

Gwen's eyes fluttered open as a Ameena sized blob made itself known to her. Her eyes were red and the reflection of the light showed spots where her cheeks had been wet. "Meenuh..." she groaned out.

The once lively ranger's voice was soft, almost whisper-like. She grunted and slowly tried to push herself up, making it up about half way as her entire body quaked. Her balance gave way as Gwen hit the bed again, thoroughly exhausted. "What day?..." She asked weakly, laying her head back down onto the pillow behind her.

Gwen let out a soft grunt as she walked into the Safari Zone. The doctors hadn't noticed that she had been absent from her hospital bed but likely would by the time she got back. But there had been a listing for one of the Pokemon in this month's haul that she wanted to get before they were rotated for the next batch. The ranger's right jacket sleeve hung loose, with the left slowly fumbling for a pokeball until it slipped onto the ground. "..." She hated being so useless. Something so trivial was now just out of her league.

The Garchomp beside her looked at his trainer with worry. She was sullen and clearly in pain being out of bed, yet here she was. Gishath nudged her side as she didn't react. "I'm fine." Her voice was weak, malleable. The pain was being hidden but it was as visible as day. "Let's do this and get back." The doors opened and their voyage began.
