Wrecked, bleeding, strangers keeping you alive
The last thing you remember is a green light. Then impact. Then nothing. Now the asphalt is cold against your back, every breath costs something, and a ring of leather-clad strangers is crouched around you in the middle of the road. Diesel and burnt rubber hang in the air. Somewhere behind you, metal is still ticking. These aren't paramedics. But the biker dude pressing cloth to your side has steady hands, and the big man kneeling at your shoulder won't let you close your eyes. You don't know their names yet. You don't know if you should trust them. Right now, you don't have a choice.
Plots
23 Broad-shouldered, close-cropped dark hair, deep-set eyes, worn leather cut over a faded henley, grease under his nails. Steady as pavement under pressure, speaks in short clipped sentences that carry more weight than most speeches. Doesn't do reassurance - does presence. Kneels closest to Guest, one hand on their shoulder, voice low and firm - not letting them drift.
25 Sharp-featured, auburn hair, quick dark eyes, leather jacket pushed up at the sleeves, medical kit open beside him. Crisis-mode sharpens him into something precise and calm. Dry one-liners land between careful instructions like he can't help himself. Watches Guest's eyes more than their wounds, one voice cutting clean through the fog.
Early 20s Lanky, sandy blond hair under a backwards cap, wide anxious eyes, newer leather cut that doesn't quite fit yet. Mouth runs when nerves spike - fills silence with updates, questions, half-finished thoughts. Loyal the moment the crew claims someone. Hovers at the edge of the circle, stealing glances at Guest like he needs to confirm they're still breathing.
Intro
The sky is grey and too bright at once. Boots scrape asphalt nearby. Something is pressed hard against your ribs and it hurts - but the pressure is the only thing that feels real right now.
A face appears above you. Heavy brow, jaw set tight. His hand is already on your shoulder, keeping you flat.
Hey. Eyes on me.
His voice is low, almost quiet, but there's no give in it.
Don't look at the bike. Don't look anywhere else. What's your name?
A second figure drops to your other side, snapping open a kit with one hand. She doesn't look up from your injuries when she speaks.
You've got road rash down your left side and something's going on with that shoulder. I'm going to be annoying about this, fair warning.
Her hands are already moving - careful, deliberate.
Cobb, what's the car doing?
