His breath cuts through his throat like barbed wire.

He's dragging himself, back to safety, back to a place where he knows his implants will certainly save him. He almost died at the hands of Ruby, but he ran away, looking like a grotesque version of what he was when he first stepped foot in the arena. There's blood everywhere. His clothes are torn, ripped, twisted, dirty. The lines on his face are deeper than ever, the look in his eyes brighter than a lunatic's gaze.

Hand against a wound that refuses to stop bleeding, he tells himself just needs a little more strength, a little more clarity in his eyes, then everything will be all right. He can win. He can win.

The light had gone dim, the very sun seeming to hide its face as the darkness circled in. All he could see was the stranger's mouth, moving above him, the words lost in the fierce pounding of his heart.

Did they matter really? He suspected not.

The familiar cold was creeping over him, his fingers limbs turning to lead, his fingers grasping at air as the knife fell away.

Death was here again.

At last.

His eyes rolled, found the sky, and watched it turn to grey, and then to black, as he sank once more into the nothingness.

Barbara, for her part, simply... lays there. Half crouching, still wishing she could get up and run to them. Something in the back of her mind is screaming that she can still do something. That she's still a hero, and heroes aren't too late. They're never too late.

But that's a lie. It's all she can do to get to her feet. Even if she managed to get to them, she couldn't patch up those wounds - she doesn't know how. Even if she did know how, they'd still have to die. Or kill her.

It's useless.

She's useless.
