Thinking about will solace in the pitt again
Thinking about him being clocked for having low empathy, because he just doesn't seem to react when people die. He's shit with telling worried friends/family bad news, far too blunt. He can't help it.
(Will has grown up in a world where making it to sixteen is a fucking miracle. There is no place for sickly sweet words, or comforts. You can't slow down, can't let the grief take you because there's always someone else to heal to save. Will who always triages people at a glance because there's only ever one of him to go around and they can't save everyone)
Will Solace avoids Dr. Abbot like the plague, because he moves like a soldier a veteran, and Will Knows that he'll get clocked in .5 seconds if he goes near him. And Will can't have that happen.
He tries to keep his head down, fade into the background. To be unmemorable to everyone. It'll screw him over down the line, but Will doesn't really think he'll make it that far. Unbecknosed to him, the rest of the Pitt as started to pick up on his shit.
Mel watches him comfort a kid sobbing in pain, not even flinching when he gets a glance at the injury. trinity called him Mozart because she caught him singing softly to patients as he worked on them. Dennis watched him talk a man down from a panic attack. Somehow, he always manages to put himself between Javaidi and her mother every time. He's respectful, archly polite but he still shields her with his own body.
(Every demigod knows what it means to have a parent that expects them to be perfect, to do exactly what they ask. Will may be on better terms with his father these days but he does not forget, he could never forget. And every demigod has it burned into their bones to protect the younger ones. So that's what he'll do, everytime, even when it'll get him killed).
There is a man in the ED. Nobody knows how he got past security, but he's angry, and armed. And, the same way that Will always has, he steps in between them. My mind is already running with calculations faster than anyone can realize. Because he is a MS3, he is a demigod who has lived far longer than he should have. He is expendable, unlike everyone else in the Pitt.
