“Shh, it’s okay. You don’t have to worry about it baby girl. You’re safe now.”

It wasn’t quite that he felt she didn’t deserve to know the details of the attack; X fully planned on telling her everything that had happened. But later. Right now all she needed to worry about was getting her hand repaired, and stopping the pain that the injury had to be causing her.

X carefully slipped an arm around her before pulling her off her feet, taking care to make sure that her uninjured side was the one pressed against his chest, allowing her to cradle her damaged arm against her chest.

Rebecca nodded a bit, wincing. She’d ask again later, when it didn’t feel like her hand got shoved in a pile of salt. Though that was a human thing, she was still in quite a bit of pain.

She involuntarily let out a pained noise when he pulled her off her feet, her hand getting jostled a bit before she held it close to her chest. Though that had been her fault, as she hadn’t expected X to lift her up.

“Didn’t e-expect it… M’okay…”

She’d at least be conscious until a medic knocked her out to work on her hand, she wasn’t hurt that bad.

“I-Is there anyone e-else hurt…? Or..?”

Her voice was a bit quiet when she asked that, both curious and dreading the answer.

Rebecca nodded, trying to stay as still as possible as X lifted the rubble, letting her get free and cradle her damaged hand to her chest. There were wires sparking a bit in her damaged palm and fingers, though not so much that they’d set her shirt on fire by accident.

“Th-Thank you…”

She looked up at him, tears at the edge of her sapphire eyes before she managed to get herself to her feet. She wobbled a bit before having to steady herself and recalibrate her motor systems, before she spoke again.

“D-Dad, what happened…? An attack? It was s-so sudden…”

So sudden that she hadn’t had any time before the ceiling had almost collapsed on her. Only the instincts honed by her training so far had saved her life.
