[It was a careless abandonment -- Beatrix had been left where she’d fainted, crumpled on the mat in the gym. Her Hanzo sat propped against the wall some distance away, untouched. To someone first glancing at the scene it might look like a training session gone wrong, but the only blood is on her elbow and her throat‘s marked by the ghostly paleness of a strong grip.

To someone taking a closer look, it will appear that this was deliberate.

[Beatrix is exhausted and well looks it, paler than usual with deep circles under her eyes. She’s sitting up on her bed in her cabin, glaring down at the camera.]

It’s Rogue. She's been rewritten too.

[She exhales an angry breath and the feed wavers a bit before evening out. Sarcastically, she adds:] Unless she’s the type to suddenly go for the throat, in which case I severely misread her.

Did she attack at random?

[Of all people to come across her, Rorschach is possibly one of the more fortunate choices. He enters the gym like any other day, fully intent on pushing himself, because as fruitful as patrols can be they are rarely a substitute for the ones back home, when the streets were filled with filth. But the scene that greets him shifts his priorities almost immediately.

Bea is an ally if not quite a friend, certainly a friendly face at any rate, and most immediately a Person In Need. It's instinct to cross the space, to feel for a pulse and assess what he can. He is not an expert by any means but nights and years of experiencing physical injury first-hand is its own first aid course. She is breathing. She has a pulse. These are both positive things. The marks on her neck indicate someone attempted to strangle her, but she is breathing so evidently it was abandoned before it became too serious.

He cannot leave her in the open. There are too many nefarious individuals, too much uncertainty with the latest ploy pulled into the open. He bends down to lift her weight; he has no immediate plan, but he cannot leave her here and he will not take her to the infirmary on principle.

Her cabin. It seems the wisest choice, and so he scoops her up, shifting her weight so the discrepancy is easier to manage before making his way there. Getting inside takes a little more doing, leaning her against the wall while he at least picks the lock rather than kicking it in, then he hauls her up again and steps inside.

He drops her on the bed, and from there he has a choice. Stay and wait, verify she's actually as relatively unharmed as he suspects, or leave her there.

On impulse he opts for the first, pulling a chair close enough to monitor her easily while keeping his distance, and waits, pausing his watch periodically to prod her in evaluation, checking her pulse and generally making sure she's still alive.]

[He moves to intercept without skipping a beat, hands raised to grab for wrists, hold her back.]

Nothing. Found you. Brought you here.

[Ink twists in agitation, nothing overtly aggressive, only...unsettled. He knew he shouldn't have stayed. Now he's left to scramble explanations]

Was better alternative to infirmary.

'Something odd'? During the sparring session or separate from that?

Attacker was already gone. Don't know how long were down before found you.

I doubt my warden would be too pleased if I defended myself against everyone I suspected of behaving oddly.

But do you have it still? Or is it gone?

I'll consider it. [ Assuming a Tylenol is something for headaches. She thinks she's heard Crichton say that. Or Aspirin. ]

When she is done being whatever Alpha made her, perhaps you could ask.
