He grinned and stuck his tongue out as the ambulance sirens grew closer. Then he noticed River. Her hair matted with blood, her eyes distant.
Gage reached a hand towards her and made a muffled grunt. "River?" He breathed, but his voice was drown out by the noise. He wanted to help, but still wasn't able to move. People started gathering around, asking questions. What happened? Who are you people? Are you okay? They crowded, blocking the girl from his sight. So he turned his eyes to Zen, pleading.

River`s ears still rang from the caving in roof, and she didn`t hear Gage. But her eyes caught his hand reaching out to her, then two people shuffled in her way.
She stood there, swaying, feeling so terribly out of place.
She shook her head, urging herself to snap out of it. To be strong, deal with it- like she always had.
But she didn`t want to. She didn`t want to just 'deal with it'.
She was vaguely aware that someone shoved into her shoulder then walked away from her.
Someone shuffled in-front of her and she caught sight of Zen and Gage for a split second, and a terrible urge to be with them and the others blast into her. She was sick and tired of being shoved away, discarded like a worthless rat, looked on with pity and disgust, being ignored while everyone else was heard. Then why was she taking it, and not standing up, and when she did, she quietly barked at someone and only to be looked at dully? Why didn`t she really stand up?
She tapped the person in-front of her- it was the Bartista. She glanced back at River in surprise. "Excuse me, I`d like to rejoin me friends." She choked out, her voice wavering. The other woman stared at her- shocked that the bloody girl had spoke, slowly she nodded and smiled, stepping out of River`s way.
Clearing the way to Zen and Gage and the rest of her friends.
She stumbled forward and stopped beside Gage and Zen. Not really knowing what to say.

Jayne watched River unsteadily make her way through the crowd, he tapped the barista on the shoulder she turned and frowned at him quizzically. "Don't worry you're not in my way." he smiled gently at her. "could you get her a cold cloth while we're waiting for the paramedics?" he asked nodding toward River.

River glanced at him dully, not quiet understanding what he meant, then looked back to Gage and Zen.

(I know, but if I`m right they are close by them (River, Zen, and Gage), so she kinda heard them talking. She`s just out of it (Big time) so she really didn`t get what he meant. Basically she is traumatized and has a craniocerebral trauma AKA Traumatic brain injury.)

After taking Janet to the pizza place, Tayn wandered back out on to the street alone. She was exhausted but she knew she couldn't go home, not with everything going on. She wasn't sure what to do with herself now, the stress of the last few days seemed to finally be over now that Janet and Leona were both together. Tayn pulled her cell phone out of her pocket, there were several missed calls from her boss. She sighed and dismissed them, pulling up Gages phone number. Somehow his was still the only number she had, even though all of the people she had been with the last few days were as close as family. Tayn considered calling him, but he was probably still in the police station. Maybe in trouble. She remembered Zens frantic calls for a medic, and trembled wondering who had gotten hurt. She could hear Ambulance sirens they might be for her friends or maybe for Firesteins guys. Tayn headed back toward the police station, hoping her friends weren't laying bleeding to death in a hidden basement all alone.

He snorted, and something played on his lips like a grin. "S' okay, man." He whispered. "I've given every-" his voice rolled into a cough, and turned onto his side with the effort if it.
Someone gasped, staring at his back, and the holes in the back if his shirt.
"-One else nicknames. 'S about time I got one." He breathed.

Then can a clap.
Then another. People got to their feet, one by one. The barista tried to clap too, but had to cup her hand over her mouth, crying and laughing at the same time. Applause filled the little cafe.

His eyes roamed from the people, to the soldier's, and back to his friends. He lay back flat on the table with a sigh, and held Zen, Crow, and Jayne, and River in his eyes individually. Then he smiled, and brought his hands together, and clapped.

"Gage," River choked out with a cry, "your alive!!!" She clapped, then again. "Your alive! We thought you died!" The happiness vanished as she remembered Thomas.

Energy drained, he just lay there, grinning and clapping like an idiot as ambulance sirens sounded in the distance. He had no idea who was alive, if any more than who were here. But something... Something told him that they were going to be okay. Even their friends who had left them for Firestein's quest.

Crow felt a smile slowly spread across his face. We did it. We're heroes. Then he brought his hands together and clapped.
