Harvey suddenly blinked up at the ceiling of his darkened bedroom, groaning as he sat up and shook the residual light-headedness away. What had that been, the universe jump? He didn't even remember being in his room before, or how he'd gotten here. Last he recalled, he'd been lookin' out the window, hopin' they could jump outta there before those goddamn lizards arrived with their ships. Seein' as they weren't blown to bits, he guessed they'd made it. Maybe he'd track down 90s Kid and Iron just in case, make sure everyone got through the jump alright. Iron in particular...for some reason, he thought he'd seen her bleeding...

He froze, eyes going wide as the memories came flooding back. Oh. Oh god, what the hell had he done?

The singer flung himself out of the bed, heading for the door. He had to find Iron, make sure that she was okay! How long had she been walkin' around on that leg, anyway? He could remember lookin' up at her from the cage; he hadn't registered it at the time, or even cared to look, but her bandage had been uncomfortably red.

A rustling sound behind him froze him in his panic. Reaching for the lamp, Harvey turned. "Frank?" He hadn't expected the rabbit to be back in his cage, not after Iron had taken him away. He hesitated, glancing back at the door, then slowly approached the cage instead, dropping to his knees to unlatch it. He could take a second or two for this.

"Frankie?" He reached in cautiously, not noticing that his hand was shaking a little. "C'mon, Frankie..." The rabbit's nose twitched, and he stared at his owner for a few seconds before slowly hopping forward. Harvey carefully picked him up, smiling gratefully as he cradled his pet against his chest. "Heyyyy there, buddy. 'S alright. It's gonna be okay. I gotcha."

She gave his arm a sniff, but it looked like it was all right. Perhaps their transporting back to this universe had fixed it...or maybe something else had done it. She never claimed to really understand time and space travel, no matter how much she used it. She accepted the ear tousle, looking happier that he wasn’t hurt as bad as she thought.

She barked back once in response, as if to say “sorry for biting you!” And, you know, knocking him out by throwing him into the ground and all.

"Oh, it's fine," Harvey said, catching her attention to his arm. "So's Iron's leg. Guess jumpin' back here must've fixed it or somethin'. Good thing, too...she was walkin' too much on that."

He turned quickly, eyes caught by the quick flash of movement as Frank jumped down off the bed and hopped towards his cage in alarm at the barking. Though everything was back to normal, Harvey himself couldn't help but feel a little on edge. Relaxing slightly, he looked back to Ammy. "I would've hit her right in the knee at that distance, if I hadn't been drinkin'," he commented morosely - it wasn't bragging, he'd been standing too close not to. "God, if you 'n Aqua hadn't been there..."

Ammy sat down and wagged her tail a little more, relieved that everyone seemed to be better physically. One less thing for them to worry about. She nodded in acknowledgement of him being glad that Liz was okay, too.

It wasn't surprising that Frank hopped away; a sudden bark always seemed to spook the animals. She noted that Harvey seemed worried about what might have happened. She nudged her nose a bit closer to him, and tried to give him an encouraging look...one that said, at least they had been there, and fixed things as best they could.

Harvey glanced sideways at her and gave a small smile, reaching out again to run a hand over her head. He knew, of course, that she was some kinda Japanese goddess; he'd been around when Minako pointed it out. But he was also something of a dog lover, and when confronted with canine-shaped deities...well, scratchies were still pretty comforting.

"It's just...she's like my kid, y'know?" Saying things like this was one hell of a lot easier when he was talking to someone who couldn't talk back.

Ammy leaned her head into the scratches. Yes, she was a god, but that didn’t mean that gods couldn’t enjoy a good ear scratching, too. And it seemed to make Harvey happy, so that in turn made her happy.

She just looked on at him, interested to see why he thought that way. She knew that obviously Harvey and Liz (and Linkara, when he was here) were friends, but it was bit different to think of a friend like a child. There was a more protective air to it...probably all the more reason he was concerned about hurting her.

Pleased, he continued the head-rubbing. "Guess I'm just glad 90s Kid doesn't remember any of the crap that happened to him there. That...that was just sick."

Harvey paused for a moment, thinking. "Y'know, I ain't sure what happened to the kid in that universe. Linkara." He sighed. "Damn, I wish he were still here. Wouldn't make 'im go through all that for anythin', but..."

Ammy looked a little concerned. She'd never really caught glance of 90s Kid while in the Mirrorverse, but on the other hand, she'd never really smelled him around there, either. Had he missed it somehow?

She could definitely understand him being worried about friends that were missing. She still missed Chibi, and Perry, Maes, and many others who had left. She tried to give him a reassuring look...she knew that she'd see him again sometime soon. Friends could never stay from each other long.
