*I look down at my wrist and then over to Poet* I did it so that this wouldn't happen to her. *my eyes start to fill with tears and I turn to hug Gabriel and end up crying* Gabriel, you are worth it. I would have been fine. Weak for a while, but fine. It was my choice to let you drink from me, and I wouldn't have done it if I thought you weren't worth it.
A- Well let's see to Poet then...*he walks over to Corey and takes Poet, setting her on the couch between Gabriel and I, and I wrap my arms around her*
I feel responsible for this now. I let Gabriel drink from me so that you wouldn't have to. So you wouldn't end up this weak. *I loosen my grip for a moment, so Carson can check her vitals*
A- Poor Lass, she's ver' weak. Let's see wha' I can do. *he sets to work gathering a few things he will need to make Poet better*
*By now, I still have tears running down my face, but I have given up trying to stop it*
A- Let's try this... *he gives Poet a dose of a very specific mixture of things that should help her begin to get her strength back, and I still sit holding her because I feel terrible that she used so much of her energy to heal my wrist*
At the time, I would think at first maybe confused and a bit embarrassed, but then he would realize that she feels the same about him as he does about her, and perhaps feel a bit of relief that it's not a one-sided feeling
Gabriel: *looks at Poet sitting there eyes closed and pale, then stares at Carson* I....Carson I can't feel her anymore, I don't sense life in her...Corey can you?
Corey *shakes head slowly* no...I can't...that was too much for them.... *his eyes start filling with tears*
*I look down at Poet in my arms and the tears start fresh*
This is all my fault! I...this was not supposed to happen. Dammit, this is why I let Gabriel feed from me, so this wouldn't happen! *I am by now sobbing uncontrollably, still holding Poet in my arms*
A- There may be a way ta' bring 'er back to us. *he lifts Poet from my arms and disappears into his lab, leaving me sitting in a corner of the couch, sobbing*
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I can't be strong anymore, I can't keep this under control. I am the reason she's... *I find I can't finish the sentence as I drop my head to my hands, still crying*
A- *is in his lab, working as fast as he can to finish what he may need to bring Poet back*
Gabriel: *puts his arms around Aang* No not your fault, she knew what would happen doing that, but she didn't care so much for herself than she cares for her friends...I still can sense the dragon in her but he is very weak as well, when he gets back strength, ...he could bring her back, but sadly she doesn't have that much time now anymore... *pulls Aang close to him and hugs her, tears running down his cheek*
Corey: hmm, she better had cared more for herself *looks down sadly as red tears fall to the floor*
*I wrap my arms around Gabriel, but I can't seem to stop crying* I still feel responsible because she gave up her energy to heal my wrist. If she hadn't done that... *I reach one arm up and pull Corey down to join us on the couch, now I have an arm around each of them*
A- If I c'n bring her back, th' dragon spirit c'n do the rest, I think. *he is working fast, giving her a quick shot of adrenaline to start her heart, also giving her a shot of an altered version of the Serum that is keeping -him- alive, this version is altered to her physiology and should give her strength an extra boost if he can get her to wake*
