«We Could be Heroes»

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.
He noticed Zen. The way he looked at her, and jerked on his jacket. Make her happy, idiot. He wanted to say as the paramedics burst in the room.

(I cracked up at "Make her happy, idiot." XD XD XD)
River awkwardly stands there. Pain ripping through her head, blood trickling into her eye. Why isn`t my body working? And why is the room spinning?
(BTW Right now she has Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD (From her parents deaths) and no sleep XD)

Zen smiled sympathetically at River, he knew she was hurting inside-and outside!

"Hey River you need something for that wound! Where'd you get it?" Zen grabbed a napkin from an unoccupied table and gently dabbed at her wound. Just as he reached over to do so he felt a sharp stabbing pain in his back. "Ahhhh!" Zen dropped the napkin and grimaced in pain, falling to his knees. The pain. The pain! Everything started to go dim..... Noooo..... River...... Gage is alive.....

Then.

Blackness.

River winced as he dabbed her gash. "Wha- Oh, that man got me with a... a... I don`t know what he hit me with. I knocked it out of his hands then he came at me with the gun and you stopped him..."
Then he was down.
No!
She fell to her knees and shook him hard. I won`t loose him too! I won`t loose anyone else! She thought frantically. "Zen?" She whispered. "We need another medic over here, for him!" She yelled hoarsely.

Tayn was trying her best to run without stopping but the lack of sleep from the night before was slowing her down. She stopped when she got to a crowd that had gathered outside of Starbucks. The Ambulances she had heard had stopped here too. She tried to look through the window over the sea of onlookers.

"What's going on?" she asked a woman who was standing on her toes looking toward the building.
 
Jayne looked himself over somehow despite everything he had managed to get through this crazy day without even a scratch. Now that the paramedics had arrived there was really no use for the cold cloth that the barista had brought. He smiled and thanked her anyway. she seemed to be confused about what she should be doing there were a lot of people in the cafe that didn't need to be there.

Crow's eyes widened as Zen suddenly fell to the ground. He kneeled down beside River, looking over Zen for any kind of wound. He was acting fine just a moment ago...
