TW: BLOOD

the screeching of deviants and the terror filled screams of humans as they rushed for safety was the only noises heard at the moment.

makkari zoomed around to get people to safety and out of the way of your heat waves as you fought two deviants at once.

you flew into the air, lifting the remaining living deviant of the two into the air.

you hardened your gaze on it. freezing it in a matter of seconds.
you lifted both your hands up, extending your arms out and flung the frozen creature into the side of the city's wall with a crash, causing the deviant to shatter on impact.

another deviant came flying at you and you flew as fast as you could to get it away from the humans trying to get past it to safety.

druig watched as you flew higher into the air.

you grabbed the deviant, opening it's jaws and taking a huge breath in.
you felt the heat and energy grow inside you.

you opened its jaws a little wider and let out all the heat and energy with a loud scream.

fire spilled from your mouth. coming from deep inside.
the fire emerging from your mouth went straight down the deviants throat. the satisfying smell of burning flesh filled your lungs and you let go of the dead deviant, allowing it to crash to the ground.

"druig! you're staring again" sprite smiled. druig flipped her off, wiping the smile off her face.

"leave him alone" sersi nudged the young girl who was snickering beside her.

"forgive me if i'm interested in watching the fight. it's interesting" druig scoffed as he kept his gaze on the h/c haired girl on the ground below.

"no because be honest, you're actually watching her aren't you?" phastos teased. druig looked at him. and as soon as he took his eyes off you. a deviant flew into you and ripped your torso.

"mind your business" druig mumbled as he turned back around to watch you fall from the sky. limp. not moving a single muscle. "she's falling" druig said. everyone exchanged looks. "she's falling!" druig yelled, that got everyone moving.

they all rushed over to the window and saw you plummeting to the ground.

"ikaris, where are you" ajak mumbled. but it was too late.

you crashed to the ground with a loud thud. dust flying from around you and a wave of energy boomed into the atmosphere, knocking some of the nearby eternals off their feet.

the domo opened and phastos' technology lowered the remaining eternals to the ground. ajak ran over to the rest of the eternals that were crowded around you.

"move!" she yelled as she approached. waving her hands to gesture for people to move.
everyone cleared the way.
she kneeled down to you.

ajak nudged you lightly so your head can turn to face upright.
she moved some hair out of your face.
your nose was bleeding from impact and there was blood leaking from your mouth.
your skin was pale, almost turning grey.

tears brimmed sprite and makkaris eyes. thena was frozen and everyone else was frowning.

"is she dead?" sprite whispered. sersi put a comforting arm around the girl.

"druig. i hate that i'm asking you this. but i need you to enter her mind. see if there's any activity, even a little means she's still alive and there's still hope. please" ajak begged as she moved out of druigs way. he stepped forward and looked down at you. a sting in his heart.

druig kneeled down and slipped his hand into the girls.
he closed his eyes and entered her mind.

memories were still flashing. but it wasn't present memories. it was memories from just before her fall.
he felt it.

the excruciating pain in her torso as a deviant slashed her.
the adrenaline from falling.
he could feel everything.

her fear.

her falling.

everything.

he quickly retreated.

"she's alive but we don't have much time" druig said in a serious tone.

"i can save her, but we need to get her back to the domo first" phastos said. druig didn't hesitate to pick you up bridal style.
phastos used his levitation rings to lift druig, ajak and himself back up to the domo while everyone else stayed back to clean up the aftermath of the fight.

druig followed behind phastos and ajak with a limp y/n in his arms. he kept glancing down at her but looked away at the hurting image.

phastos entered his healing lab, it was almost like a mini hospital that he'd made for moments like this.

"put her on the table" phastos said. druig placed y/n gently on the table and lifted her head to reposition it more comfortably.

phastos pushed druig back and hooked y/n up to some devices.
the devices began glowing a golden colour, and that golden glow soon surrounded y/n's body.

druig perked up, his eyes wide and hopeful.

ajak stepped forward and put her hand on
y/n's chest. ajak was now glowing that gold colour as she connected with y/n.

y/n's wounds began to close up. the blood on her nose and mouth retreated back into her body.
druig took a step closer.

y/n's chest rose as she inhaled. still unconcious. druig exhaled a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"and she's back" phastos said as he read her brain activity on a holographic screen.

"we'll leave you alone" ajak said as she put an arm on phastos. the two left druig alone with you while you lay on the table asleep.

druig looked around and saw a comfortable looking bed and decided to pick you up and place you on it instead of the cold, hard marble table.

he readjusted your head on the pillow and pulled the blanket over you.

he sat on the edge of the bed with his callused hand holding your soft ones.
he admired your sleeping self.

he brought his face to your forehead and planted a soft kiss on it.

"when will you talk to me, darling" he whispered as he brought his lips away from your forehead.

A/N:
no such thing as a y/n story if she doesn't get injured 🫡
