Jay sat down beside her with a sigh. "Let's hope we both get out of this alright." He murmured, squeezing her hand gently. Leo quieted, snuggling up to her.
(I gtg soon)

She nodded, looking down at her lap as she spoke softly, "First we have to make it through the checkups, without anything being found out and without them taking Leo."
Eventually the two of them stopped flirting and walked over to Jay and Delia. "Jay, you'll be going with me, while Delia here will wait with Caspian until another nurse is open," Sandy said, smiling at him before motioning for him to follow her.

Jay frowned slightly, and nodded at Delia's words, then frowned slightly. "And…what if I don't want to leave Delia?" he replied, putting an arm around Delia protectively. Leo growled when the two came over, hackles rising as he squirmed, trying to get out of the sling.

"Well, we have to test to see if you're carrying any viruses or anything, so we don't want to contaminate other patients if only one of you is sick," The nurse said, continuing on after a few moments, "We also have to do a physical check up on you both, which can take some time and has to be done by a doctor of the same gender, meaning you two wouldn't be able to stay together without.." She started to continue but Caspian cut her off, sitting next to Delia and him
"Trust me Jay, she'll be safe with me," Caspian said, "I'll make sure she's safe."

Jay looked down at Delia, and sighed. "Fine. I want to see her again later." he replied, not giving any room for disagreement. He patted Leo's head gently, and took the puppy out of the sling to set him on Delia's lap. "And I am not going to take no for an answer on that." his voice was even, but stone cold.

Caspian nodded, already not paying attention to him, "Sounds good, you'll see her again as soon as you're through your tests." He relaxed back in the seat and looked over at leo and Delia, "I still don't think your puppy is a fan of me."
Sandy smiled and motioned for Jay to follow her as she walked through a pair of double doors down a hallway, chattering the whole way, "First I'll bring you to the showers and give you a fresh pair of clothes, you can take as much time as you want in there. Then we'll bring you to one of the rooms and go through all the required tests, Dr. Lee will oversee those and I'll get you some food."
Delia sighed, her eyes going to Jay as she started petting Leo. Being alone with Caspian didn't sound fun in the least, but yet here she was, waiting for another nurse to bring her to wherever so she could get through all of this and see Jay again.

Jay looked over at Delia and gave her a little wave, then started walking after the nurse, crossing his arms uncomfortably. He gave no response to her chatter, glancing back at Delia and Caspian for a moment, then back ahead. Leo growled at Caspian, standing protectively in Delia's lap.

With Jay following her, the nurse walked down the hallway into the base, though this part seemed to be isolated from the rest. She made a series of turns until she reached two doors, one labeled 'men' and the other 'women'. "Here you are, I'll have a pair of clothes delivered along with a towel in a few minutes. Everything else you should need is in there, along with a fresh toothbrush and some toothpaste, soap, a comb, and deodorant. Please only take one though, we need to make them last." She smiled at him and waited for him to enter the shower and bathroom combination. Showers lined the whole back wall of the decent sized room, each separated by a concrete wall between them and a plastic curtain in front. sinks and mirrors were along the other wall while everything else lined a different wall.

Jay nodded slowly. "Alright." He replied, going inside. He wasn't going to thank this woman, even if this was the first time he had showered in quite a while. He started getting ready for the shower.

She turned and went back down the hallway, getting one of the male nurses to drop off a generic pair of clothes and a towel. All the clothes they gave the citizens were plain and generic. A pair of gray sweatpants, a black t-shirt with a different number printed on each of them, short white socks, and a pair of tennis shoes. She walked back to the entrance and waved Delia to come with her, who seemed extremely relieved to put Leo back in the sling and hurry over to her. Her backpack back on her back.

Leo snuggled close to Delia, sticking his head out and growling anytime anyone came too near.
Jay got in the shower, relaxing slightly under the spray of hot water.

(Ok here it is now that I got some sleep, lol)
For the next several hours, Delia was busy with tests and X-rays. The shower had felt like heaven and she stood there until the water ran cold, washing herself off while Leo took a nap. Clothes were the trickiest part, getting her old clothes off without messing with her leg, and getting new clothes on. She thought about Jay every do often as well, what he was doing and if he was alright. They put an actual cast on her leg and gave her real crutches, though she kept the wooden ones Jay had given her just in case as well. Leo stuck with her the whole time, making the nurses and doctors smile while they did their tests. Delia's least favorite part was when they were done though. She had gotten to keep all her supplies, though they did take her extra clothes and promised to return them when they were washed if she wanted.
Caspian was the one they called down to take her to where the civilians 'lived'. He led her down a different hallway of the base, ignoring Leo, who growled from his place in the sling across her chest. Thinking of meeting Jay again sounded amazing and she smiled, the backpack on her pack not even bothering her as she looked around the huge mess hall Caspian led her too.

(alright lol)

Jay had taken each test unflinchingly with his chin held high. He knew that if he behaved like he had something to hide, they would look for whatever he was hiding. Luckily, they seemed to have no idea about the Killswitch operation, about what he was and what he would do. So they simply commented on his unusual hair color, and moved on. Their scans picked up nothing unusual in his brain, and he was escorted to the mess hall without incident. He looked around for Delia, crossing his arms uncomfortably.

"Jay!" Delia called out happily when she noticed him across the mess hall, hurrying over and leaving Caspian where he stood, "How did the tests go?"

Jay spotted her, and walked over, meeting her halfway. "They went well. Apparently they don't know about…" He tugged at a strand of his hair. "So. I'm okay so long as the programming isnt activated." He gavr a small smile. "And you?" Leo barked happily, wagging his tail.

She shrugged, smiling slightly, "Pretty good, the shower felt amazing, I got a real cast on my leg, clean clothes, and do you see the sheer amount of food they have here? I feel like I'm in heaven." Delia looked at Leo and she reached up to pet him, "This little fluff ball charmed all of the nurses and doctors, he also got a checkup and a bath, which he wasn't very fond of."

He laughed softly. "Well, that's good." He replied. "And yes, the showers were nice." He stretched a little. Leo wagged his tail, squirming happily. Jay reached out and picked him up. "I'm stealing him." He told Delia, holding the squirmy little puppy.

"Go ahead, he's probably sick of me anyway," She replied, watching with a happy look on her face, "Now, I'm in the mood to try some of this food they have, want anything? I also still have to figure out where they're assigning me to sleep and put my stuff at."

Jay smiled. "Yes, food sounds delicious." He agreed. "And I can help you with that later, if you want." He said, heading towards the food line with Leo in his arms. The puppy squirmed happily, licking at Jay's face.

Delia nodded and smiled, following after him towards the smell of food. She glanced at Caspian only once as he left, slightly relieved that he left and they were alone besides the other civilians in the mess hall.

Jay got in line to get food, then looked down at Leo, who was hungrily sniffing the air. "I think I should put him back in the sling before we get to the food…do you want to carry him still, or do you want me to?"

"Could you carry him?" She asked, nodding her head, "Please? I can give you the sling." Her stomach growled and she felt herself blush slightly, not wanting to show how hungry she was.

Jay nodded, and took the sling, putting it on and setting the puppy inside. Leo squirmed happily, poking his head out so he could still look around. Jay smiled at the puppy, then at Delia. "Sounds like we better get that stomach of yours something to eat."

Delia shrugged, smiling again, "I think it's protesting being so near food and not eating." She reached over and pet Leo before moving with the line, seeming much more relaxed than when they first got to the base.

Jay chuckled, and nodded. "Ah." He sighed softly. "So how was Caspian?" He asked in an almost guarded tone. Was he… jealous? No, of course not. No way was he jealous…right? He shook his head slightly.

"Actually, he was acting a lot nicer than in the truck," She said, not really paying attention to his tone, "He offered to carry my backpack for a while, though I turned him down." Her eyes were wandering around the mess hall as she took in just the amount of people and the varying age range that was there.
