WHERE IT HURTS STARTERS. always accepting.

"Yeah, you could say that."

Marty winces in sympathy as he examines Pavel's bruised ankle, trying his best to get a good look at it without making it even worse. It doesn't look broken, but he's not a doctor or anything. What does he know about this stuff?

At the very least, if he made it this far into the hike, that probably means it's not real bad. But the lake is pretty far away and they're going to have to get him back to camp and maybe into the truck somehow.

"Still," He looks to his friend with concern, his tone soft. "You shoulda told me, Pasha. I-I'm not mad at you, just worried, y'know? I don't want you to be hurt. Here, hang on a sec."

He turns around so his back is to Pavel, leaning forward, arms open for the other boy to thread his legs through.

"I'll give you a ride back down, okay? You really shouldn't be putting any more weight on it. Don't worry," he encourages, "I gotcha."

@doctorbrown asks: “ i’m here, kid, shh. ”

‘KID’ NICKNAME STARTERS. always accepting.

It's 1:33 AM. It's always 1:33 AM.

He remembers the scream tearing out of his throat, but this time it’s like he can’t say anything at all. The gunshots burst in his ears. Blood runs over concrete as he runs, rubber soles pounding, because this can't be happening again, it can't—

The hand on his forehead is freezing, fingertips brushing his hair back, but it feels so good he can't help but turn toward it even as he shivers, wracked with cold. It's the middle of October and it feels like it's 90 degrees.

"Doc." It's more of a whimper than Marty would ever like to admit. Blue eyes, fever-bright and dazed, slowly slide open, meeting the scientist’s gaze after a few moments too long.

“Wait, what’re you doing out of bed?!” he exclaims, blind panic and adrenaline overtaking him as he tries to sit up. “Your chest— and-and your head! I’m s’posed to be keepin’ an eye on you! I—”

The exhaustion catches up with him as he falls back onto the cot. Wait, when did he get here? Last thing he remembered, he was sitting on the floor���

His eyes turn glassy with unshed tears.

“I didn’t mean to fall asleep… I’m sorry…”

“Oh, this is big, [name]. This is very big.”

“[Name], somehow this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole in your head. Do you remember that?”

“That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.”

“Back off, man! I'm a scientist!”

“You’re right, no human being would stack books like this.”

“Listen! You smell something?”

“[Name], I take back everything I ever said about you.”

“They wouldn't touch us with a three-meter cattle prod.”

“For whatever reason, [name], call it fate, call it luck, call it Karma. I believe that everything happens for a reason.”

“You didn’t even bargain with the guy!”

“I think this building should be condemned.”

“Are you troubled by strange noises in the night?”

“Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic?”

“Have you or your family actually seen a spook, specter or ghost?”

“We’re ready to believe you!”

“Don’t stare at me, you got the bug eyes.”

“You're very handy, I can tell.”

“Print is dead.”

“Some people think I'm too intellectual, but I think reading is a fabulous way to spend your spare time.” 

“Do you have any hobbies?”

“I collect spores, molds, and fungus.”

“If something’s gonna happen here, I want it to happen to me first.”

“You know you don’t act like a scientist.”

“Well that’s great. Either I have a monster in my kitchen or I’m completely crazy.”

“Yes, we both have the same problem: you.”

“I’m gonna go for broke: I am madly in love with you.”

“You are so odd.”

“No kiss?”

“We got one!”

“He’s an ugly lil’ spud, isn’t he?”

“I did that! I did that! That’s my fault!”

“Nice shootin’, Tex!”

“Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! I’ve always wanted to do this!”

“We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!”

“If there’s a steady paycheck in it: I’ll believe anything you say.”

“I’ve quit better jobs than this.”

“Because you did not use the magic word.”

“That’s a big Twinkie.”

“I have to go. I have a date.”

“Are you the keymaster?”

“I guess the roses worked, huh?”

“Take me now, sub-creature.”

“We never talk anymore.”

“I make it a rule never to get involved with possessed people.”

“What a lovely singing voice you must have.”

“Are you the gatekeeper?”

“Wait for the sign, then all prisoners will be released!”

“Y’know, you’re a real humanitarian.”

“I don’t think he’s human.”

“You said before you were waiting for a sign, what sign are you waiting for?”

“There’s something very strange about that man.”

“Listen: I’m usually very psychic and I have a terrible feeling that something awful’s gonna happen to you.”

“You never studied.”

“No offense, but I gotta get my own lawyer.”

“I have seen shit that’ll turn you white!”

“Yes, it’s true… This man has no dick.”

“I’m gonna get you a nice fruit basket.”

“Are you a god?”

“[Name], when someone asks you if you’re a god, you say yes!”

“Alright- this chick is toast!”

“We have the tools, we have the talent!”

“Choose the form of your destructor.”

“Well there’s something you don’t see every day.”

“Sorry, [name]. I’m terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.”

“There’s definitely a very slim chance we’ll survive.”

“This job’s definitely not worth $11.5k a year!”

“We’d like to get a sample of your brain tissue.”

“I love this town!”

you are a legitimate phenomenon.

i hope we can clear this up quickly and quietly.

back off, man. i'm a scientist.

listen! do you smell something?

this happened to you before?

could you come over here and talk to me for a second, please?

one of us should actually try to speak to it.

i'm gonna take back some of the things i've said about you.

the possibilities are limitless!

this is preposterous. i demand an explanation.

your methods are sloppy and your conclusions are highly questionable.

you don't know what it's like out there.

for whatever reasons... call it fate, call it luck, call it karma, i believe that everything happens for a reason.

where are we going to get the money?

i think this building should be condemned.

hey, does this pole still work?

wow, this place is great. when can we move in?

you gotta try this pole.

hey, we should stay here tonight! sleep here! you know, try it out!

you wanna come in for a mineral water or something?

we're ready to believe you!

you can't park that here!

i bet you like to read a lot, too.

i collect spores, mold, and fungus.

i'd like to talk to someone, please.

what i'm about to say may sound a little unusual.

i'm sorry, i don't believe in any of those things.

if something's gonna happen here, i want it to happen to me first.

you don't act like a scientist.

i'm gonna go for broke. i am madly in love with you.

i bet you're going to be thinking about me after i'm gone.

hey, anybody seen a ghost?

did you ever report it to anyone?

i hope we can take care of this quietly.

well, no sense worrying about it now.

i think we'd better split up.

don't move. it won't hurt you.

i feel so funky.

there's something very important i forgot to tell you.

wait wait wait! i've always wanted to do this.

well, that wasn't such a chore now, was it?

we came! we saw! we kicked its ass!

you're a big celebrity now.

so who the hell was that?

i'm not at liberty to say.

i want to know more about what you do here.

that's a big twinkie.

do you have any excedrin or extra strength tylenol?

listen, maybe if we start dancing, other people will join in.

that's a different look for you, isn't it?

do you want this body?

i want you inside me.

you said before you were waiting for a sign. what sign are you waiting for?

i have a terrible feeling that something awful is going to happen to you.

i think that would be extraordinarily dangerous.

how about a little music?

you had your chance to cooperate, but you thought it'd be more fun to insult me. well, now it's my turn, wise ass.

i'm not interested in your opinion.

if he does that again, you can shoot him.

i am going to get you a nice fruit basket.

i was in no way prepared for that.

you wanna play rough?

are you a god?

let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown!

i couldn't help it. it just popped in there.

Marty's quiet for a moment before responding.

"Y'know, you're right," he considers. "It would be safer."

He leans forward then, taking Ellie's hand in his, entwining their fingers together. They fit together just right. Weird, no doubt, with how they have decades and a couple hundred rips in the spacetime continuum between them, but right. Like Doc and Clara all over again.

"But when have we ever given a damn about that, huh? I sure haven't." He smiles. "But what I do care about is you, Elle. And I don't know about you but I think..." He squeezes her hand, putting his other hand over hers. "I think we could be pretty great if we tried. 'Cause either way, I..." Marty laughs a little, blue eyes sparkling. The familiar feeling flutters in his chest, just waiting to be spoken.

"I think I'll love you anytime, anyplace, future girl."

@doctorbrown asks: “ i’ll handle this, kid. ”

'KID' NICKNAME STARTERS. always accepting.

Marty trusts his best friend with his life. That's not why he's nervous.

He's nervous because he's not sure if he trusts Doc with his own life.

When it comes down to it, Doc will always pick everyone else over himself. Especially if it's between him and Marty, which is stupid, because the right choice is clearly Doc. Doc is way more important.

Run for it, Marty! I'll draw their fire!

... Like he said. Doc is way more important.

Still, the teenager is pushed behind him before he can make much protest, the scientist straightening up to his full height. There's thunder in his gaze.

Marty finds himself pressing closer, either seeking the shelter being in Doc's shadow provides or wanting to be ready to step in just in case things go south. Probably both.

"Look, Doc, just… promise me you’re not gonna do anythin’ stupid, okay?” he asks. “Please? Clara's right, y'know, you're a lotta things but last time I checked, Superman's not one of 'em. I-I mean, Batman maybe, but..."

@doctorbrown asks: “ kid? can you hear me? ”

'KID' NICKNAME STARTERS. always accepting.

The crevice had come out of nowhere.

One minute, he was exploring the caves under the island with his dad, and the next he was free-falling down what had to be some kind of dissolved joint. He remembered being jostled and scraped as he bounced against the sides of the rock, then a boulder heading straight for him. A burst of pain, then nothingness.

The rushing of water is the first thing Marty hears, letting out a soft noise. He manages to open one of his eyes, but the other is crusted over with something tacky and metallic. It's just enough for him to see the water flowing past, catching the faintest sparkles of light from above. A river! There was a river down here!

He tries to see better, using his left arm to prop himself up, but he cries out at the intense pain. Unable to support himself— he must have landed on it when he fell— he slumps back to the ground, white-knuckling the knobbly flowstones.

He must've slipped back into unconsciousness because the next thing he hears is his father's voice. Relief floods through him, tears pricking at the back of his eyelids. If he can count on nothing and no one else, his dad will always be there. He will always find him.

"Dad!" Marty tries to call as loudly as he can. "Dad, down here!" C'mon, Brown, he chides himself, where else could you be?

[timechange]

@doctorbrown asks: what do you mean, you took care of that?

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK SCRIPT. always accepting.

"It's like I told you, Pop!"

Marty grins as he spins around in the chair. His goal is to put his feet on the desk and lean back, all sophisticated and laissez-faire. Instead, he pushes himself off with just a little too much vigor and winds up spinning around more than he intended, the chair's mechanism wobbling as it revolves once, twice, thrice. After a small yelp, the teenager rights himself and comes to a stop, hands gripping the arm rests and feet firmly planted on the floor of the study, his hair mussed and his eyes bright and twinkling.

"It's all done. I-I mean, the final decision's up to you, but I drafted up the manifest this morning, and I started to reach out to some people who might have a ship we could charter! There's one that looks really promising, it's called the Wayfarer, and—"

He cuts himself off, searching his father's face, eyes for a moment uncertain and hesitant.

"—Y-you're not mad, are you? I'm sorry, Pop, I don't wanna steal your thunder, I just... I want this to be perfect, y'know? We've worked so hard for so long and now it's finally happening!"
