Aftermath

[Legione Sumus]

Liam & Olivia

Liam had seen Nox at his worst before, he's seen him nearly dead lying onthe concrete cell but he hadn't known him then hadn't trusted him. He was afraid. What happens if Nox dies to the rest of them? They'd all go into the foster system, they'd never be understood as much as they were here.

Liv healed him, the wound closed and the bleeding stop and Nox spoke before he passed out. It was a lot of blood all over him.

Liv started barking orders as he lie there holding Nox just staring at the man who had saved him. Peacefully asleep, safe in his arms. "You're still an idiot."

Liv ordered the kids around. "Gen, you run up and get Nox a set of clean clothes, they are in his bag in his closet, jeans, boxers, t-shirt and a pair of socks."

Gen added. "And don't forget a hoodie."

Liv smiled at her with a nod. "Liam you, Jackson and Noah get Nox into the room down here and out of his clothes before putting him in bed. Soph and Em, can you get some towels and warm water so the boys can clean him up before putting him in bed."

Liv looked to Marta and smiled. "You want Lily duty, Marta. If you are staying?" She looked over to the woman and two men who had come with Marta and Nox. She walked over and offered each of them her hand. "I'm Liv and there are just too many to introduce and they are all busy right now. But the red head is Nox's cousin, Sterling, the little one with her is Arabella. She's biologically sisters with Genevieve who ran upstairs and to Serphina who is running around somewhere helping out." Liv looked around but didn't see the middle Blackthorns. "The boys are Liam, Jackson and Noah. The older girls are Sophia and Emma. We are all Nox's foster kids. You've all met Lily." She looked at the man covered in blood and frowned. "Not sure Nox's clothes will fit you but I think I can do something about all that blood."

She'd never really tried to clean clothes on someone before but she'd gotten blood out with the power. It was a trick she'd picked up early so that the Blackthorns wouldn't get angry at the little ones who fell and got cuts. This was a lot more blood though.

She embraced that light with in and it was wonderful and glorious and there was a pang of guilt that she had it and Nox didn't. He must be so broken inside because it was gone, she knew she would be. The power flowed through her and she pulled the blood from the fibers with ease and deposited into the nearby sink. "That's better. We should all go upstairs. I can make some coffee and or I can call Hayden and he can make everyone some stiffer drinks."
