Felix Caelus

Here Felix is, almost laying on their kitchen floor covered in burns and dirt streaking his reddened cheeks and the first thing out of his mouth is an apology to Jim. Is this how Bones or Felix feels whenever Jim comes back from one of his missions? Because there's not an atom in Jim's body that isn't panicking to see those injuries right now. He doesn't even register the potion spilled all over their floor once he's assured himself it is not--in fact-- Felix bleeding out. His heart is lodged somewhere in his trachea as it jackhammers hard enough he can feel it in his fingertips. The light reveals the truth about the situation. That Jim was making ready to go out just as Felix worried he would. To face that hell again.

There's a buzzing in Jim's ears and an unsteadiness to his steps as he drops down hard onto his knees at Felix's side. He needs to focus, needs to get them out of here, but for a moment all he can do is stare down at his husband in horror.

His voice is strangled when Jim tries to shush Felix. He's pulling the mage close to him by the shoulders while he grabs for his PINpoint.

"We need to get you to the ship. Come on, just breathe..." All Felix will feel is a bit of a jostle as suddenly there's nothing but Jim to lean his weight against as their kitchen disappears and the hum of the deck plates beneath the thin carpeting of their quarters returns. The PINpoint is tossed aside so Jim can grab for his comm instead. He's not leaving Felix's side to get to the terminal in their room. Felix will hear the chirp as the device connects before Leonard's grumble that 'this better be good' filters in but Jim's cutting him off.

"Bones, I need a stretcher in my quarters. Now."
