"Let me introduce myself," said the racer, "I'm Sapphire Sky, daughter of the King. Grayston tried to off me just after my father retired, I guess so that he wouldn't have any competition. Sent in a racer, who sent me crashing almost into Pit Row, but I was severely injured and had to stay in the hospital for weeks. After that, he was bared from the circuit. But now I see that he's sent his granddaughter to do his dirty work for him."
Ebony sent a mental message to Phoenix, 'Just what in Chrysler's Name is she talking about?'

'Grayston tried to get in on circuit racing' Phoenix said. 'I... I never what he did to try to get in...'
"I.. I never knew he tried to do that to that to you so don't hold that against me!" She said defensively. "And I'm not here for him! He's dead!" Her sides heaved as she panted for breath from shouting, didn't she know he was dead.

Strip came forward, putting himself between Sapphire and Phoenix. "That's enough." He addressed his daughter. "Phoenix wound up here because she wanted to get away from her grandfather, she wanted no part of him or his plans for her. And Mr. Grayston did indeed pass on, and while no death is anything to take joy in, he won't be getting mixed up with racing or anything else any more."
Kendall stayed close by Ebony, wanting to reassure her.
Aron slowly took off his shirt, in that "somewhat shy" way. Being alone with her in her rooms put a whole new perspective on that.

"How can you be sure he's dead?" demanded Sapphire, pulling back, and looking over her father's hood at Phoenix, "How can you be sure that you're not like him?"
"Because I met him," Ebony interrupted from where she stood close to Phoenix, "And she's nothing like him. And Grayton is indeed dead. Please don't accuse her for something that he had done to you."
Sapphire frowned, "If he's dead, than how come the news hasn't become public?"
~~~~~
Delfina eyed Aron's torso, then gently placed her hands on his ribs, focusing in on the bone and imagining that it was knitting itself back together. White magic flowed from her hands and absorbed through Aron's skin.

"I'm nothing like him!" Phoenix shouted again, her oil pressure rising to a dangerous. "If I was like him; I would have already blasted you across the court!" She had completely forgot that she was in term at the moment.
"Thats because I'm still in works of taking his company that he left me. I thought that I made it clear at the..." she stopped suddenly, her eyes widening as she started to feel growing discomfort in her matrix. This felt differently from the spasms she had eariler. Something was wrong...

Atsuko, drawing on several decades of experience, saw that something not-quite-right was happening with Phoenix and came up to her. "Phoenix, you'd better get settled down and let us look at you." She waved an antenna towards Doc, who was already entering.
Lynda went a little pale. "Oh, my... "
Aron sighed, eyes half shut, as the tightness and pain of the internal wound damage ebbed away.

Ricardo and Ebony were at Phoenix's side in an instant. "Nix," Ebony asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you okay?" She could tell that her friend wasn't looking so good right now.
Sapphire blinked in confusion and looked on, "Huh...? What did I do? What's wrong with her?"
"Oh, be quiet," snapped Ebony, as she and Ricardo helped Phoenix over to the alcove to lay down.
~~~~~
Delfina did as much healing on the ribs as she could, then switched her attention on the injury on Aron's arm. She closed her hand around it, applying just a little bit of pressure and focused again.
When she was finished, she lay back on her bed, exhausted. "I think that's all I can do for now..."

Phoenix gingerly settled on the mattress in the alcove, her sides still heaving and rate going through the roof, she was starting to pale.
"Whats... Wrong with... My baby..." She managed to ask.

"Baby?" Sapphire asked increduously, "you mean she's in --"
The racer was silenced by a sharp glare from Ebony as the Viper stood at the entrance of the alcove like a guardian, only allowing Doc and Atsuko inside to help Phoenix.
Ricardo, laying close, nuzzled Phoenix lovingly. He was really concerned for her. "It'll be alright," he soothed softly, "Doc and Atsuko will find out what's wrong."

Doc felt Phoenix over very carefully while Atsuko checked her vitals. "Just lie easy for now. We'll have to get you stabilized." He turned to Ebony. "Who was that doctor in Cortez?"
Strip came up and nudged his daughter, urging her to give them some room. "Yes, she is. And she's not in a good way right now."
"That's fine." Aron smiled, reaching out to Delfina. "Better than I deserve."

"A Lincoln Continental I believe," said Ebony, "I didn't catch her name, but I think she gave Nix something to ease those hydraulic spasms that she was having a couple of hours ago."
She looked anxiously at Phoenix, "Is she going to be okay?"
~~~~~
Sapphire backed off a little, looking on with a kind of mixed confusion and shock at what she had just learned. She suddenly felt very guilty for what she had just unknowingly done.
"Chrysler..." she breathed, "I-I didn't mean it..."
~~~~~
Delfina smiled wearily up at Aron, "It's the least that I can do... I haven't seen you yesterday... I missed you..."

Phoenix nodded as best as she could when she heard Ebony, but couldn't hear what was exactly being said as everything around her started to sound fuzzy,

Ricardo nudge her, as a silent indication that he wasn't going to leaver her side.
"Please be alright, Nix," Ebony watched her friend closely.
(((((OOC: I'm beginning to nod off... but I'll wait until Doc and Atsuko's finished getting Phoenix stabalized before I go to bed...)))))

"What was her name?" Doc asked as Atsuko fetched a syringe from his kit and handed it to him.
"It wasn't your fault, darlin'." Strip said. "She was already going through a very rough time. But she needs some room if she and the baby are gonna get through this."
"I had some things on my mind." Aron said, adjusting his position so that Delfina could rest again. "And I didn't want to bother you when you were as sick as you were yesterday."

"Dr. Cassidy, I think..." said Ebony.
~~~~~
"I-I didn't know..." Sapphire looked down, feeling guilty now, "I think I should apologize to her..."
~~~~~
"I could use the company for a bit..." said Delfina, shifting a bit on her bed so that she could be more comfortable, "It would help me recover faster knowing that you'll be nearby..."
