Ani gently pushed down on Mark's chest as the man tried to stand up again.

"I should be helping them," he scoffed. "Matt's a sniper, not a pistol expert"

She started to stitch up the gash in his arm. "And you are a mid ranger, not a window breaker, but here we are."

"Someone could have been hurt! You can never tell with Mockers."

"No, you can't, and I'm not blaming you for doing it, but that doesn't mean you can Would you stop moving."

Ani pushed him down again, taking care to not rip out the stitches. Mark grunted. "Jack wouldn't have faired any better."

"But Jack didn't break the window." She finished the stitches and wrapped his arm in gauze. "You may need to brace yourself with the other shoulder for a bit, and don't run out ahead of Jack anytime soon."

"That's probably going to mess with my aim."

Ani shrugged and began to put away her supplies. "Thankfully, I think we have the supplies to lay low for a while for you to recover. Also if history repeats itself--"

They both jumped as the door slammed open. Jack and Matt stood in the doorway, the Irishman helping the theorist through the door. Ani threw up her hands.

"At least the bone isn't sticking out this time!"
