Out For Now

Jinx's lair door was slammed open with a kick. Sevika's strong body barreled through the door. In her arms, she carried a young woman whose pink hair was rapidly turning a bright red the strands becoming slick with blood.

"Over here!" Jinx yelled as she rushed past Sevika leading her over to her bed where she began tearing the sheets off. Isha was wrapped around Jinx, her small arms lodging her head in the base of Jinx's neck tears dripping onto Jinx's tattooed skin.

Jinx gently pried Isha from her sweaty body as Sevika lay Minx on the bare mattress her light body making slight imprints in the memory foam.

"Isha, baby, I'mma need you to sit right beside her head and put two fingers-" she grabbed Isha's shaky fingers and lifted her pointer and middle finger together, "like this, to her neck, you're gonna feel a pulsing, you need to tell us if it changes in any way, okay."

The young girl nodded, tears drying on her tan face. Silently, she crawled beside Minx and did just what Jinx had asked pressing two of her fingers to the pink-haired girl's throat.

Jinx ran to her workbench and began rummaging through a pink and green decorated box labeled "Minx Medical".

"We need to take her to the doctor," Sevika persisted, approaching Jinx from behind.

Jinx whipped around, "No! We're not- we're not taking her there!" She was hyperventilating while digging through the box until finally she grabbed the strap of a bag and tugged.

A high-end duffle bag came out of the box, a medical red cross on top. Jinx didn't even bother putting the strap over her shoulder before she ran back to her girl's side clutching the bag to her chest.

She unzipped the duffle readily and started pulling out various containers and vials of remedies. Sevika crouched beside the girl and examined the variety of medicinal shots and salves, reading their labels.

Burns and Rashes (salve)

Malnutrition (shot)

Cold/Flu (shot)

Cuts (salve)

Blood Clotting (shot)

Insomnia (salve)

Broken Bones or Concussions (shot)

Broken Bones or Concussions (salve)

Sevika picked up the last two, an astonished look on her face, and handed both the vial and the metal container to Jinx. "She made all this? Jinx this could save the undercity," She said, something akin to a smile ghosting her lips.

The blue-haired girl didn't respond, she reached into the duffle bag and pulled out another bag, this one smaller, and metallic. Inside it contained two clean syringes ready with needles and gloves, Jinx pulled out the gloves and cringed as she maneuvered her injured right hand into the purple medical gloves.

Jinx rapidly grabbed a pair of scissors from her nightstand and cut the majority of Minx's left pantleg off, exposing her crooked bone. Her face scrunched at the sight, slight tears pricking her eyes before she blinked them away.

"Do you hear me?" Sevika grumbled from below gaze still pointed at the Minx's various concoctions.

Jinx huffed gloved hands coming down to set Minx's leg straight, "As a matter a fact, I do, I'm just more focused on saving my girlfriend's life first."

The blue-haired girl's eyes scanned the label on the shot as she took one syringe and filled it with light pink medicinal liquid. Taking a second to flick the tip of the needle Jinx inserted the metal into Minx's pale calf. A singular mL left the syringe before she lifted it, moved it lover, and continued puncturing a small amount of the liquid along the lining of her bone.

Once the syringe was halfway gone, Jinx grabbed one of Minx's sets of casting tape and began bandaging from her knee all the way down to her ankle.

Isha let out a squeak from above, slamming her free fist on the metal of Jinx's bedframe.

"Did it go up or down, Isha?" Jinx's panicking voice asked.

The small girl lifted her thumb up into the air and Jinx let out a sigh of relief her shoulders coming back from beside her ears.

Jinx stood up wobbly, "Isha close your eyes," she commanded in a low but loving voice, a sad ring to the end of the notes. The young girl covered her eyes with her free hand, tears back to the brims of her orange eyes.

Jinx slowly and steadily pressed the needle of the syringe into Minx's neck where a previous small puncture mark sat.

After emptying the shot into Minx's bloodstream the girl's bright neon eyes shot open a shrill scream leaving her gravely throat and echoing around the wind silo.

As the loud cry faded into silence Sevika got up from her crouching position, examining the scene in front of her. "She's back out," she realized by the girl's closed eyes and paced breathing.

"For now," Jinx sighed, sitting down by Isha and pulling the small girl to her chest as they watched Minx's chest rise and fall.

For now, everything would be okay, and once Minx awoke, their family would be whole again.
