canon au } { post-611, of hellhounds and foreshadowing

[beanchaointe]

Lydia: [her banshee senses were tingling. And it's probably a good thing too because it wouldn't be a good idea for a someone to find a half naked soot covered man on school property] Parrish?

Parrish: [and the light is gone from his eyes as his body is in that regeneration period from hitting the wall and breaking his spine]

Lydia: [she makes a face, and then calls back over her shoulder] Scott!


Scott: [and his ear perks and he motions for Malia to move with him to where Lyda is and skids to a stop] Whoa.

Lydia: He's healing, but we need to get him out of here.

Scott: I'll bring the jeep around and we can put him in it.

Lydia: [she nods before going to examine him more closely] It looks like he broke his spine. Malia, help me. [and Malia will sigh and go about helping get Parrish up]

Scott: [and he will avoid running them all over and he will get the trunk over and the seats down so that they can Parrish pulled into the back from that way.]

Malia: [and the three of them will wrangle him into the Jeep and then pile into the seats] Where are we going to take him?

Scott: We should take him to Laura.

Lydia: [she nods] Okay. They don't live far from here.

Scott: I know the way. Just keep him from waking up and setting the jeep on fire. And let Laura know we're on the way.

Malia: [will text Laura]

Lydia: [will just reach over and let his hand rest against his shoulder, hoping that her banshee presence will keep him calm]

Scott: [and it won't be long before they are pulling up outside of the cabin]

Laura: [hears the jeep pull up and frowns, before making her way out to the front porch. she sees Parrish in the back and sighs] What happened?

Scott: There's another hellhound in town.

Laura: ... What?

Scott: I don't know a lot yet but Liam was there...

Parrish: [and deep gasp and sitting up because he's awake and in danger mode]

Lydia: [since she's closer and Laura's still coming down the stairs] It's okay! It's okay. It's just us, we took you home.

Parrish: [and the orange eyes look over the scenery a moment before Parrish clicks back into place] There's... there's another hellhound.

Lydia: We know. We're going to try and go find him, but we wanted to take you home first. We couldn't leave you there.

Parrish: [nods, and he will look down and sigh] And I'm out another uniform. Crap I'm supposed to be on duty. Jody is going to kill me.

Laura: I'll call her. [she's reached the jeep at this point and gives him a soft look] You should head in and take a shower.

Parrish: No, he's dangerous. [blinks] Liam. He and Mason were there. Are they ok?

Scott: Yeah, yeah Mason's got Liam and they're fine. [beat to hell but fine]. Did he say anything to you though, about who he was or why he was here?

Parrish: He said... he was looking for something that got let out. I think he was talking about when we stopped the ghost riders.

Lydia: [she nods] I had a banshee vision today where I heard the same thing. We're going to try and find him to talk to him.

Malia: Once he realized that Liam wasn't what he was looking for he seemed to back off. Maybe he won't hurt us if we make it clear we want to help him.

Parrish: He doesn't seem like being big on talking.

Lydia: He'll listen to me. [hellhounds and banshees. they have a thing] We'll be okay.

Parrish: [nods] Okay.

Laura: [takes him by the arm gently] C'mon. Let's get you cleaned up.

Scott: I'll call tomorrow and see if you remember anything else, ok?

Parrish: Sure. Thanks Scott.

Laura: [nods as she walks him in] Thank you. [for bringing him home]

Lydia: [nods as they settle back into the car]

Parrish: [and he is going to let Laura lead him back home]

Laura: [and she will steer him towards the shower] Want me to make you something to eat?

Parrish: No, but I think I need something to drink.

Laura: Okay. You clean up, and I will pour you a drink. Any preferences?

Parrish: A large glass of ice followed by a cold beer.

Laura: [nods as she leans in to kiss him] You got it. [and she'll leave him to clean up while getting him his drinks and calling Jody to let her know what happened]

Parrish: [and he will do that, trying to washing as much of the soot away, wincing at the claw makrs that aren't healed all the way yet. He won't put his shirt back on] Is Amelia asleep?

Laura: [she shakes her head] I was working on putting her down when Scott called, though, so she may be out by now.

Parrish: Good. I don't want her to see this. [and he's going to move slowly back into the kitchen where the scars are still there and healing, but look bad]

Laura: [frowns softly at that, before moving closer] You two really threw down, huh?

Parrish: Yeah. I thought maybe he was here to protect something, but he didn't. He was here to stop something, and I was just in his way.

Laura: [she frowns] Where did he even come from?

Parrish: I don't know. But... he didn't look much older than me, but he felt... old. Like he was much older than he looked.

Laura: [considers, before nodding slowly] Well, it makes sense. Considering how hellhounds are made, they might not physically age after that.

Parrish: So I'm stuck looking like this?

Laura: Maybe. [she gives a small shrug] I honestly don't know. Maybe something happened to him that he got trapped somehow. But you were the first hellhound I ever met, so ... I'm learning this as you do.

Parrish: I wonder if Satomi knows him.

Laura: Maybe. It's worth asking. She honestly knows more about the nematon and everything connected to it than anyone else.

Parrish: Think we can find her?

Laura: I think I can call her, if you want me to.

Parrish: Maybe. Let's see what we can figure out first.

Laura: Okay. [a beat] You okay?

Parrish: Yeah, just tired. [oh it's so much more than that.]

Laura: [yeah, she doesn't believe that for a second, but she's not going to argue with him about it] Well, Jody said she'd find someone to cover your shift tomorrow so you'll have plenty of time to rest up.

Parrish: I should go back out there tomorrow to find him. If he can do this to me...

Laura: Let's wait to hear what Scott finds first. Maybe he'll be able to talk him down.

Parrish: I hope so.

Laura: [she nods] But right now, you should get some sleep. You'll heal faster that way.

Parrish: [and he's going to finish his water and reach for the beer] I think I might sleep on the couch. Not that I don't want to be with you, but I just feel uncomfortable in my skin at the moment and don't want to be touched.

Laura: [she nods] Okay. I'll go check and make sure Amelia's down, and I'll be in the bedroom if you change your mind.

Parrish: [and he will lean in to kiss her] Give her a kiss for me.

Laura: [nods as she kisses him back] I will. [and with that she'll pull away to check on the baby and go to bed]

Parrish: [and he is going to go lay on the couch and close his eyes, the beer nearby as he tries to will himself back to sleep]
