[ that teasing earns a rough exhale of amusement that hurts like hell but is worth it, for a moment of feeling like things will be okay with maine. ]

No. You just haven't given me a reason to point it out in a while.

[ and he hasn't, but it helps the moment, she thinks. lets her be mad at him that they had to go through this and relieved that it's over. they still have to figure out how to manage his power, but so long as maine is willing to work with her, carolina is firmly convinced that they'll figure it out.

they're both stubborn enough for that, she thinks. ]

Drake wants to talk to you, but after, would you come back with me so we can justify Wash's over the top first aid kit?

[ as if carolina is not perfectly capable of using up his amassed first aid supplies on her own. ]

[ Usually, Maine can keep his aversion to all things medical off his face — at least until he's sitting before a medic, pale and petrified of potential needles. Connected as they are, Carolina may well feel the flickering of nerves, anxiety lighting up only to be pushed back down a moment later. It's irrational, Maine knows. He needs to get checked over by someone, and he'd rather it be his teammates than some strange doctor.

A second later, Maine hums an affirmative. If Carolina wants him to come with, he will. He doesn't know how things will go with Wash, but shit, they can't go much worse than this did. Then Maine gives Carolina a gentle one-armed squeeze before reluctantly releasing her.

(One day, Maine might admit that he takes comfort in physical affection. But not now. Not here.) ]
