[Screaming Mantis is sitting in the hallway on a bench looking dazed. She is lightly running her hand over her now scarred face, thinking of the fight she got into in the Kiss room. A really big part of her is disappointing that she didn't just kill E!fear, and most of her sanity seems to be gone at the moment.

She's humming to herself softly trying to blocked out the sounds of screaming and gunfire, that seem to be louder than usual, that was going through her head.]

((OOC: Mantis is feeling a little crazy right now, so approach with caution.))

[Sorrow is smiling as he approaches her, until he sees the scratches on her face. Now he's kneeling in front of her, trying not to appear as livid as he really is.]

Maria? What happened? Are you okay?

[She looked at Sorrow with a distant look in her eyes.]

I was careless, I let him get too close.

Who?

[He lightly runs a hand over one of her cheeks.]

Were you attacked?

No... I had to make him suffer...

[She giggled.]

He hurt her.

[Her face went blank as she started to hum again, she may have forgotten all about Sorrow being right there.]

[He pulls her into a loose hug.]

Maria... who hurt you? Who hurt... her?

[He wonders who the other woman was.]

[She goes rigid when he hugs her, but realizes who it was and relaxed a little.]

That Fear... He promised to take care of her, but he hurt her. Made her suffer... he had to die, I SHOULD HAVE KILLED HIM!

[She shook violently in his arms.]

[That Fear? ...Evil Fear? He hasn't met the man, but he's already furious.]

Please calm down. He'll get what he deserves.

[He strokes her hair, humming in an attempt to soothe her.]

[She relaxes and rested against him, but her mind was still very far away.]

You're not mad at me?

[She was starting to feel sleepy.]

I'm not mad at you.

[He kisses her lightly on the cheek.]

Everything will be okay. It will all sort itself out, alright?

[As much as he would love to go raise all kinds of hell right now, it was obvious he should stay with Mantis right now.]

[She closed her eyes.]

If you say so...

[She held onto him tightly.]

I know it.

[He holds her for a few more moments, before trying to encourage her to stand up.]

Can you walk?

[Her eyes fluttered open.]

Yes I can stand...

[She stood up slowly, holding onto Sorrow tightly still. As if she was afraid that he would disappear once she let go.]

[He holds her just as tightly, obviously worried.]

I'll take you back to my room. I want to make sure you're okay tonight. Joy won't mind, I'm sure.

O-okay...

[That was probably a good thing since she didn't plan on going back to her own room that night.]

[He walks with her slowly, and when they finally reach his room he sits her on his bed, before going to get her a glass of water.]

[She sits on the bed and watched him go fetch the water, her mind bobbing all over the place. For the most part she's almost back to normal, just really tired.]

[He hands her the water, before sitting beside her.]

How are you feeling?

[She drank the water then looked at him.]

Better... thank you...

[She pulled him into another hug.]

[He strokes her hair again, still mentally wishing a painful death on all the evil Cobras.]

Good... It makes me sad to see you like that.

[She snuggles up against him, feeling her eye lids grow heavy.]

Really?

[She closes her eyes.]

[He nods.]

I don't like to see you hurt or unhappy.

[Sorrow inspects the marks on her face.]

...These aren't too deep. They should heal fine.

[She hugs him tightly.]

Good...

[The last thing she needed was physical scars to match the mental ones...]

Are you sure I can stay here Mitya?

Of course I'm sure. I wouldn't have asked you to stay here if I didn't think it would be okay.

[She smiled.]

O-okay.

[She kissed him on the cheek.]

[He's happy to see her smile, and kisses her softly on one of the cuts.]

That's better.

[He leans against her, noting how even with the cuts on her face, she still looked beautiful. He recalled how every time he'd had injuries on his own face, he had looked like shit.]

[She smiled again.]

I wonder what I did to deserve someone like you.

[He flushes very slightly.]

What do you mean?

You're so nice to me, I...

[she sighed.]

Never mind, just... forget I said anything.

[snuggle.]

Of course I'm nice to you. I care about you.

[He wraps his arms around her, resting his head against hers.]
