Omega gets to the bar before Tex, and he saves her a seat again. He orders himself a scotch, and for her the tequila she was drinking last time.

And then he waits his turn for her attention.

Comments

"True, though I was thinking more the sight of it would deter people. But he might like that better."

Tasers can kill people, but Omega doesn't think those people are likely to jump his brother.

[soldierinblack]

"Sight might deter them, but he'd also have to be ready to pull the trigger if he had to." And that isn't an action done unless Epsilon is ready to accept that killing someone could happen from that.

"See what he'd be comfortable with and we'll go from there."

[baruthumos]

"True, true. I'll ask him." Omega grins suddenly. "Or you could. I bet he'd like that."

He should share Tex. Because he's the oldest. It's his job to make sure everyone has a fair turn.

[soldierinblack]

"I will after Delta's surgery. We don't need a bunch of crap going on at once. How is he healing?" Could Epsilon even hold a gun right now?

[baruthumos]

"He's healing up fine. Should be back to normal in about six more weeks. It could have been a lot worse." Mostly it's the psychological effects Omega's worried about. That's also the part he's terrible at.

[soldierinblack]

"Good. What about the others?" Delta isn't the only one that's dealing with injuries.

[baruthumos]

"Sigma's got a scar, that's all that's left, and that might even fade eventually," Omega says. "Eta still has a bruise, but it doesn't bother her any."

[soldierinblack]

"Eta got bruised?" That's fucking news to her. "I thought Epsilon was the only other one that got hurt."

[baruthumos]

"Eta is five. Bruised is her natural state. She tripped on the sidewalk, landed with her helmet on her arm." Omega thought she had told Tex, but maybe Eta had gotten confused in the retelling. "She's fine. Everyone is fine for now."

[soldierinblack]

"Good." It means she doesn't need to go beat the shit out of anyone. That makes things slightly easier. "Epsilon is doing all right? Healing well?"

[baruthumos]

"Yes, yes," Omega repeats. "Six weeks and he'll be good as new, assuming he does the physical therapy. Which he will."

And then some new crisis will come up. It always does.

[soldierinblack]

"If he doesn't, I'll drag him there myself and he doesn't want to get to that point." It'd be far worse than any physical therapy he is prescribed, she would guarantee that.

[baruthumos]

"They said it wouldn't be very much, mostly stuff to do at home every day." Omega shrugs. "I think he can be trusted to do it without prodding."

[soldierinblack]

She nods. "Should be easy. If he can't do that by himself, he needs to rethink his job and traveling."

[baruthumos]

"If he can't, he needs to rethink his adult privledges," Omega says. "I can and will revoke them."

[soldierinblack]

"And how do you plan to do that?" she asks. She doubts he can do much that wouldn't send Epsilon running for the hills.

[baruthumos]

"Oh, Epsilon hasn't figured out yet that I can't," Omega says airily. "I don't think any of them quite realize that I can't really make them do anything."
