"Letendre, Sade."

The two of them stepped forward, belting out a strong, simultaneous "Sir!"

"Help these two to the infirmary."  Cross could feel Rosales looking at him.  He locked his eyes on a point on the far wall and resisted the reflex that made him want to stare back at the man.  "And make sure they make it there safely."

"Sir!"

Cross bent to pull one of Gabriel's arms around his shoulders, and Raley did the same for Alaric.  As they helped the two gracies up and started to make their slow way out, Rosales spoke again, his voice raised to carry over the whole cafeteria.

"Candidates!  Since you have so much extra energy we will find a more appropriate channel for you to expend it.  You have all lost your rec time for the next month.  Stage Ones and Stage Twos will see myself and Pilot Hamilton for additional hand-to-hand combat training.  Stage Threes and Fours will see Pilot Lyre for a instruction on withstanding torture techniques."

Cross groaned under his breath, too low for the Pilots to hear.

Gabriel groaned when he was lifted and he leaned his full weight on Cross, in too much pain to care who's shoulder he was leaning against. Later, he'd probably despise Cross a little more for it, but for now he had no pride to speak of so he stumbled along, biting back pained grunts.

But he wasn't so out of it that he didn't catch Rosale's announcement, and he paled. An instruction on withstanding torture techniques?! What kinda lecture did that involve? A demonstration?

He lifted his head a little and managed to ask, under his breath, "Is he serious?"

Alaric hissed in pain as Raley helped him stand. Every movement sent waves of pain through him as his cracked ribs shifted. It made it hard to focus as Roman spoke, though the alien forced himself to pay attention.

Combat training? With him? He had no idea who Pilot Hamilton was, but if he was anything like Rosales, he didn't want to meet him. And he had to be kidding with that torture thing. There was just no way.

Cross kept his mouth shut until they were out of eyesight and earshot of the Pilots in the cafeteria.  He really wanted to curse and give Rosales a dirty look but that would only have gotten him into more trouble.  And shit.  Torture instruction class with Lyre.  Wouldn't that be fantastic.  His stomach twisted all up just thinking about it.  It wasn't that Lyre was a sadist.  He didn't get pleasure from hurting people.  He didn't get pleasure from anything.  He was miserable and liked to bring everyone else down into misery with him.

"He's fucking serious."  Thank the gods the infirmary wasn't far.  Dragging a gracie around like this was a waste of his time.  He didn't even like this gracie.

"You guys don't have it so bad," Raley added.  "I mean, losing your rec time, that sucks, but hand-to-hand can be all right if you like to fight.  Rosales and Hamilton are good instructors, too."

"Stop kissing their asses.  They're not even here."  Cross glared at Raley, and the other candidate returned the challenge.  They would have stared each other down if they didn't have Alaric and Gabriel to support.  Made it hard to get into a fighting mood when they were burdened with a couple of injured.

Aaand he was serious. Gabriel gave a painful shudder, brain conjuring up all sorts of colorful images of how, exactly, one would teach a class like that. Alright, so...maybe the hand-to-hand wasn't so bad, comparatively speaking...

Even more disturbing than the whole torture thing was perhaps the fact that neither Cross nor the other guy seemed too bothered by this.

But he didn't want to think about that. It just made him feel even sicker, and he was trying hard not to puke all over Cross's shoes.

"Uhn...hey...by the way, thanks," he managed to get out, glancing toward Raley. He coughed and his head rolled against Cross's shoulder, but he hurt too much to care. "Steppin' in like that."

Alaric was glad he at least got the nice one to lean against. Gabe had to cling to the very asshole that got them into this mess. He looked over at Raley, trying to smile, "Yeah, thanks for the help man. And uh...yeah. Learning to fight will be handy."

Next time Cross was a tool, he could kick his ass.

"No problem."  Raley smiled over at Gabriel, which turned into a frown for Cross.  "Some candidates are real dicks."

"It's good to get that first trip to the medic out of the way," Cross said.  He gave Gabriel a nasty grin.  "The first of many."

"Is it your ribs?" Raley asked Alaric.  "Don't worry, he'll catch deep shit if he makes you miss drills."

Gabriel shuddered at Cross' words. Riiight, yeah, avoiding this one like the plague. he was obviously psycho or something. Issues up the wazoo and stuff.

"Did your dad not hug you enough or something?" he mumbled under his breath.

"I think so. Feels like they are broken." Alaric had been kicked by struggling prey a few times growing up that broken ribs weren't entirely knew to him, "Thanks man. For the help."

Raley's eyes flicked to Cross, who stopped suddenly, scowling.  He drove Gabriel up against a wall, arm on his throat.  Just in case Alaric got some crazy idea of helping, Raley grabbed onto him and shook his head at him.  This was one encounter he needed to stay out of.

"You're new and you don't know, so listen you little shit," Cross said.  "I'm only giving you this warning once.  My father died in service to this country, and I don't care if I end up killing you and getting trimmed over it, but that is the last time you bring him up to use against me in any way."

Cross let Gabriel breath again, and held him up with a hand clenched in his hair.  "Do. You. Get it?"

Pain exploded in Gabriel's back where Sabela had already kneed the shit out of him and it drove the air from his lungs. When he tried to suck in another breath, Cross's arm was pressed against his throat, cutting it off. Eyes wide and heart pounding, Gabriel choked, grasped weakly at Cross's arm, and tried to pry him off, but it was no use.

It was hard to pay attention to anything (much less care about it) when he was busy panicking, but when Cross finally eased up and he could gulp in air, he was quick to nod shakily. Well. Nod as well as he could when someone had a fistful of his hair.

"S-sorry," he rasped out, coughing.

And asshole or not, he...kinda was. He hadn't meant to insult anyone's dead parent. He hated the guy, he was willing to hurl insults with the best of them, but...he wasn't willing to go that low, and the news surprised him.

Alaric had jerked forward when Cross had shoved Gabe against the wall, though his knee buckled and he went down onto one, his broken ribs sending pain shooting up his torso. He was about to say something when Cross spoke.

Well...shit.

That...was a little different. Alaric wasn't going to let him beat up Gabe again, but it seemed like the threatening was all that was going to happen. Struggling back to his feet with Raley's help, he curled one arm around his stomach, "Uh...are we...almost there yet?"

Cross jerked Gabriel along by the arm.  He had to beat this in to the new kids sometimes, occasionally to some of the not-so-new kids.  He didn't like making this point more than once.  He'd break something on Gabriel next time.

"Yeah, we're close."  Raley helped Alaric along and pointed to a glass door up ahead.  "That's it."

"Ow, ow, ow! Jerk..." Gabriel groaned, because the jerking was not helping. His whole body hurt, he felt nauseous, and it strangely felt kind of like he'd been kicked in the 'nads even though he'd been hit in the back. What the hell.

But he stumbled along, and only sheer force of will and the promise of painkillers kept him going. He kind of just wanted to pass out. That door was like the most beautiful thing he'd seen right then.

Alaric could have kissed Raley at that moment, for showing him that door. His side kept shooting sharp pains through him. He wanted nothing more then to lay down and never move again. It didn't hurt so much when he didn't move.

Inside, a young man in a white lab coat sat flipping through a magazine.  He didn't look up or even pause as they all fumbled into the room.  Cross waited a few seconds before rolling his eyes and pulling Gabriel over to deposit him on the nearest exam table.  His babysitting duties were now blessedly over.  "Here, sit."

Raley did the same with Alaric, but with considerably more care.  He helped him onto the next table over.  The guy with the magazine—so far as he could see, the only other person there—was still ignoring them.  He gave Alaric a shrug.

Gabriel grunted something that could have been a 'thanks' as Cross showed him the table. Thanks for being a dickface, more like, but he'd give him some credit for getting him here. It was an effort to get up on the table, but it was a relief once he did, because it meant no more moving. Gabriel promptly curled up, though it was pretty difficult to find a comfortable position. For a few moments he stayed like that, waiting for the pain to fade to a manageable level or for him to get his bearings. The pain never faded, but the pause at least gave him a moment to process everything a little more lucidly.

He and Alaric were injured, Alaric was even more fucked up than he was, and...no one was doing anything?

Some douche in a labcoat was just...reading his magazine?

"Um...is that a doctor?"

"Thanks man." Alaric gave Raley a shaky smile, glad that not every older candidate was a total assface. Getting onto the table had him biting down hard enough on his lip for his fangs to tear it open, but that was better than screaming.

When Gabe spoke, he glanced over, sweating from the effort of having walked with broken ribs, then climbed onto a table, "Uh, I donno."

"That is not a doctor," the young man said.  He flipped on to another illuminating article, this one on a weight loss diet that focused on citrus as the keystone to burning fat.  "But it is a close approximation of one."

Cross exited with disgusted sigh.  He'd had his share of dealing with that one and his task was over.  Raley hedged, glancing between the two other candidates.

"You guys really okay?  I mean, not the injuries, but are you okay okay?"

"Uh..." Okay, yeah, Gabriel was too out of it for this. So instead he focused on Raley and gave a little shrug. "Define 'okay'."
