"Look, Alex," Julia used a tone of voice that would both
cut through her best friend's near panic attack and make her know that she was
intently serious "The Soulchaser is staying. He is the only one that can
take on the Hunter. And I've already had a meeting with the creep and had
one of our trees practically buried in my back. You of all people should
know I'd never put Nick of all people in danger. If I weren't 110% sure
the Soulchaser would keep his end of the bargain he sure as hell wouldn't be in
here. It's either him or the Hunter, take your pick."
She got off of the desk but without her usual 'hop' but
not intentionally. It just hurt too much to move too fast.
"Turn around." Rachel said, already lifting her shirt to
take a peek.
Julia sighed and turned. Not like they could see
anything. Nick had already patched her up. Well, not until Rachel
took out a small pair of surgical sissors and cut a small piece
away.
She didn't miss the small sound Rachel made either "Could
you retape that please? As you can see, already put medicine on it and it's as
good as it can get until it heals."
"Well," Rachel commented, doing as requested "One thing
neither you nor Nick will lack is someone to patch you up after run ins with the
bad guys."
Julia chuckled a little at that, remembering Nick's
comments about 'nurses' and 'nursing each other'.
"Oooh," Rachel teased her, sensing a need to add some kind
of humor to the tension there now "Do I detect the possibility that someone's
already played doctor?"
She finished and Julia half swatted her as she turned,
pulling her shirt back down "None of your business."
Both Rachel and Julia looked at Alex and Derek stopped to
look at the three women, gaze quietly quizzical.
