Dash Baxter, 16 year old A-Lister at Casper High woke to a swirling green sky and pain. He sat up slowly and looked at his wrist, sprained but not broken. That was good he supposed. His attention then turned to his surroundings where his classmates were scattered on the rocky surface of a small floating island. Most were caught between semi-conscious and conscious, a few were still out cold. Amongst the conscious was Mr Lancer and Tucker Foley, one of the freaks, who, from what Dash could see, hadn't taken any damage. They were busy checking on others, Tucker making notes on his PDA.

"Stop whining, it's a sprained ankle! He's much worse than you." Came a distressed voice. Dash turned his head to see fellow A-Lister, Paulina Sanchez glaring at another of the freak trio, Samantha Manson. But Paulina wasn't pressing her point like she normally would and Dash could see why. Beside where Sam was kneeling was the final member of the freak trio, Daniel Fenton, lying very still. Dash stood up and made his way over, watching Paulina's expression lighten as he did. She no doubt thought he'd wait on her hand and foot. He dropped beside Sam who was uncharacteristically in tears. There he saw the reason why. 'Jesus, Fenton, how'd that happen?' He thought looking at the bloody and battered teen. Dash had stopped bullying Danny about half a year ago. He didn't know why but it just wasn't any fun anymore. And now looking down on the unconscious boy a deep pit of sadness filled him.

"Is he alright?" He croaked reaching out his good hand over Danny's mouth to check for breathing. His heart almost stopped when he couldn't feel anything then very gently a cool breath hit his palm.

"He took the impact for Tucker and myself." Sam wept. "The idiot."

"Focus. Is he alright?" Dash said. She looked at him strangely for a second before running her eyes over Danny.

"He's badly beaten, I can't tell more until he wakes up." She sniffled. Dash nodded and took off his jacket with some difficulty and used that to cushion Danny's head. Which surprised Sam. In return she made a makeshift sling out of some of the many random cloths on the ground for his wrist. She then helped Dash bandage Paulina's foot.

"Thanks." She said her voice breaking.

"He's a good kid." Dash said, surprising even himself. "Protecting you might seem stupid to you. But I'm sure to him it was very important. He needs you to be strong right now." She wiped her eyes and nodded. "Come on, lets go see if we can help anyone else. Paulina, call us if he wakes up."

"Fine." Paulina mumbled, greatly humbled by the fact Dash was siding with the freaks.

Tucker hugged Sam when he saw her and nodded his head towards Dash in acknowledgment. "He awake?" He asked.

"No. Paulina will call us if he does." Sam said.

"Alright. Star has a broken finger and Kwan is complaining about double vision. See if you can help." Tucker ordered, Sam nodding and walking away. Dash went to follow when Tucker held out his arm to stop him. "Not you. I need some muscle over here."
