(Tom needs to roll with punch/impact to half their impact damage)
Calvin and Gabe got a front row seat to the train wreck when Syl and Tom collided with Ragnarok, but when Calvin pinned Rags down, he could tell something was wrong. The Big man was laughing, but at the same time he was choking up dark blood that was gurgling and runningfrom the sides of his mouth. It frothed and drooled from the sides of his mouth, but he was unable to break Gabe's hold and roll his head to spit. He was trying to struggle, but as Calvin holds him down, Rags was going nowhere. At that same moment, as Alice tried to restrict his breathing, she could tell something was wrong.
Jason looked at Long, and motioned for him to follow as he went to Tom's side. "Helluva hook you got there. Lie still, Avi will be here shortly to patch you up." He tapped his band adio. "Avi, get over here. Tom's down, Rags is no longer a threat and sylwia just blew up in a cloud of fairy dust."
"She what?" Avi questioned.
"Shut up and get over here!"

Alice immediately stops what she was doing and motions for Gabe to do the same. "Something's wrong." Frowning, Alice watches quietly before she realizes what Jason said and asks, "Wait, what!?! She blew up in a cloud of fairy dust? Seriously?"

Tom lay on the ground stunned and groaning. He rolled over, seeing Ragnarok spitting up blood. For a moment he was torn with guilt over being a living weapon. Then he remembered how badly Jason's been hurt; how badly he's hurt others. Then he remembered Ragnarok threatening to rip off his legs so he could never walk again even in metal form.
Tom spat out. "Let him die."

Long follows Jason over at his beckoning.
"What can I do to help?"

Calvin sees Rags coughing up blood and recoils a moment in shock. "We got internal bleeding here! We need MEDEVAC now!"
Calvin shakes his head. "No can do. We're the good guys." Turning to Rags, he says "We're going to try to get you some help. I need you to cooperate." With that, Calvin begins to administer First Aid, as best he can - to get him stabilized for transport.

Alice watches as Calvin tries to help Rags. She doesn't say anything, but it's clear that she's thinking pretty deeply about what's going on in front of her. Part of her, to her shock, agreed with Tom. Rags had terrorized them and would continue to do so if they let him. the other part of her agreed with Calvin - if they were the so called good guys, they shouldn't just let someone die. For the moment, Alice doesn't help Calvin, but she doesn't stop him from trying to help Rags either. Alice waits to see how Rags answers Calvin's question before she does anything.

At seeing Rags down and hurt, but still conscious, Long notices an opportunity to help without having to hurt Rags any further like with Homicide.
To Alice, "I'll be right back."
Long runs off at top speed, dodging around the crowd and the police the best he can. Going over the top of vehicles when he has to until he gets back to the SUV that he and Gabe were in. In the back, Long grabs a pair of power dampening cuffs. He makes sure that they are adjustable all the way up to the size of Ragnarok. When that is complete he locks up the truck once again and with cuffs in hand runs at top speed back to where Ragnarok is and slaps them on him without so much as a 'How do you do?'
A little out of breath, turns to Calvin or Avi (if he's there by now), "Ok, now he's ready for medical attention."

As Calvin tried to stabilize Ragnarok, the big man let out a gurgled cough and sprayed Cal with dark blood and saliva.
Long easily cuffed Ragnarok, but despite his massive build, his arms were limb and moved together as easily as a child's toy.
Jason looked ashen as he looked up at Alice from Tom's side. "Long, Cal, you guys want to go get Kristian and Trevor so we can get out of here?" He looked back down at Tom and patted him on the shoulder," Lie still bud, you'll be okay once Avi gets here
Gabe was merely sitting on the curb in shock and beginning to weep quietly when Avi arrived. He looked like a train wreck and was barely on his feet himself. He took one look at Ragnarok for a long moment and then went to Tom's side and knelt down. "Where do you hurt Tom?"
In the distance there were sirens everywhere.

Calvin continues to attend to his patient. I don't know this guy or what he's done, but I get that he's bad news. Best case scenario is we save his life and he takes that second chance to do good with his life and runs with it.
"Listen, Ragnarok... I know that's not your real name, and you ain't in a position to tell me that right now, but... hold on, brother. You can make it."
Calvin hears the sirens, and forces a smile. They may be too late.
"Hear that, Ragnarok? That's help on its way. Just focus on living. We'll do the rest."
If he gets him stabilized, he will attempt to diagnose the internal damage as best he can so he can brief the paramedics when they get here.

It's no use, he thinks. He's going to need surgery to find and fix the source of the bleed. "Stay with me."

Tom struggles to his feet. "I'm OK." His eyes lock up with Ragnarok's, his fists clenched.

Alice continues to watch the scene in front of her and she agrees with Avi's decision to help Tom rather than Rags. "Please let Avi help you, Tom." she says quietly. Looking at Gabe, Alice sits next to him and asks, "What's going on? Why are you so upset?"

Tom nods slowly to Alice. "OK." His eyes still don't move from Ragnarok.

"It's okay Tom." Avi said, leading Tom over to the side. "I think you're going to be fine, but I just want to check you over. I hate to ask this, but how are the legs? No tingling or anything?" Avi got a bit of a guilty look as he began to check Tom over.
Gabe looked up at Alice, and wiped his eyes, "She's gone Alice. Sylwia..., she just disintegrated."
Jason stepped over and put a hand on Calvin's shoulder and spoke lowly, confirming what his medical training was telling him, "Stop it, you're only torturing yourself. His neck is broken at least and his rib cage is crushed. You know he is too far gone, that's why Avi is worrying about Tom. Let him drift off with a little dignity instead of enslaved to machines with no quality of life even if he pulls through." Jason reached down with a look at Long and removed the stun cuffs, adding," We don't need to insult him too."

Tom shook his head. "I'm not turning back to normal until we're sure he's gone. But yeah, I feel fine right now."

Calvin hears Gabe say that Sylwia is dead. The weight of the situation hits Calvin like a wall.
Did Gabe say Sylwia is dead? He looks at Gabe, mouth agape. Suddenly dizzy, he sits down. I... I thought she... Can she not re-form? I... I just can't believe...
Just as he remembers he has a patient, he turns to administer to Ragnarok. As Jason tells him that Ragnarok won't make it, Calvin only nods silently. What a disaster.
He puts a hand on Ragnarok's shoulder, and leans over to speak into his ear. "You're not alone. I..." He chokes up a bit, then recovers. "I lost a friend. I don't know if you have any friends... or family. I don't know you. But... you're not alone."
Calvin will stay with him, but his thoughts are with Gabe, and his good friend Sylwia, still not comprehending or believing that she's truly gone.
(Oops fixed. Thanks Mierin.)
