I think they do, most of the time. Veronica is iffy on people they're not close to touching them in general, so if a stranger or something grabs their left arm where the scars from J.D.'s bomb are they'll get defensive or pushy and try to get away on instinct.
Most of their other scars though are really only super obvious if you get close to them physically, and if they're willingly letting you invade their space like that you're probably somebody Veronica is okay with touching them to start with. She melts over it when people are gentle with her left arm / the left side of her back, but she's also just. Super easily flustered even though she insists she isn't and any sort of really close attention like that is bound to make her stammer.
They have a few! I've talked a little about them before but to re-elaborate, I don't think even with JD's warning to step back that she was standing far enough away from the bomb to come out fully unscathed from it. I think she turned away and while doing so protected most of her, her left arm and part of her back has burn / shrapnel scars from it. She uses long sleeves to hide it most of the time and if somebody does see and ask she's usually pretty deflective and will try to avoid answering unless they really prod at her for answers.
I think she has some smaller scars from the boiler room fight. They're mostly around their knees and they didn't heal well because she kept picking at them; same with one on the back of her head ( she got slammed into that wall/pipes pretty fucking hard ). She's not nearly as bothered about them being visible though and you'd have to get really close to them to notice, similar to her damaged eye.
I've not made the really big post about it but I have mentioned it a couple times; Veronica's mental health took a really hard hit (understandably, in my opinion) after everything and J.D.'s death really just sealed it. They do in all likelihood have some self harm scars from this time, impulse or the urge to just do something to get their brain to focus. A lot of them are from Veronica scratching herself way too hard ( and then proceeding to not let them heal ) or them digging their nails hard enough into their skin to leave marks. Most of them are on their upper arms, some are on their legs.
. What is a song that never fails to pump you up, inspire, energize, or make you happy?
munday meme !!
Aaaa I have quite a lot of them actually. I'm somebody who genuinely does listen to a bit of everything. They range and vary in genre greatly but I went looking through to find a more obscure one and genuinely: the vs. Cynthia fight music. Both versions , in fact.
"...'M gonna be honest, I have no idea what any of those places are." Though the wounds would heal themselves fast enough, Ava can't deny there is a sense of comfort in someone else caring about her enough to try and bandage her up all the same. The adhesive on those bandaids were in for the fight of their life, though. "I was thinkin' more grungy back-alley parking lot, y'know, like the ones that are meant for like... Two cars? Or the big super-stores. Those are also funny."
" You don't know what a Denny's is?? Or a Waffle House?? " Veronica is genuinely surprised. Denny's they could see, but Waffle House? Nearly everyone they know at least has seen a funny picture or two of Waffle House. They would argue it's about as American as America can get. They finish putting the bandages on her shoulder, laughing.
" Ah. So like. The local Walmart with the one light that's always burnt out. " She can agree with that choice. " Another idea: IKEA. Massive furniture store. "
So I realized I let things get. A little too out of hand so I am,,, culling some stuff . The inbox is mostly left alone but my threads i let get way too out of hand for myself IHEJSN
Running was the last thing that Ava had wanted to do, but in the moment it had made sense for her at least to do as Veronica asked of her. It gave her a little more time to actually prepare, put some space between her and whatever the fuck that thing was, get herself put together. She'd seen worse, it didn't come close to what she had seen on HQ, though it wasn't pretty to look at still.
Pulling the axe out seemed like a bad plan, adrenaline would just push her over the edge and Ava would lose control of her strength again. She couldn't make the damn thing any smaller either, so finding somewhere to lay low and prep the dragonflies felt like the best option.
Her dragonflies had been sent out as soon as she found a decent spot, a building that had a door she could get through and still shut, and it was them that alerted her to Veronica coming closer. As soon as she has them inside again, hoping that she didn't accidentally cause more damage with how bodily she had pulled them indoors, Ava wants to start addressing the very obvious wounds that Veronica has suffered.
Only they start trying to check her first. Ava grabs both of Veronica's hands, voice steady and quiet as she says, "I'm fine." If anything had got her, it's healed up now. "Let me take care of you. You're lookin' a little rough. What's hurting the most?"
Ava hopes there's no broken bones, that was the one thing she couldn't do much for. Skin knitting itself back together? Encouraging the immune system to fight an infection? That was something she could do, speeding up the natural processes of decay for things, but not bones. Damn things were nigh impossible for her to do anything with.
They could both figure out what the fuck that ugly motherfucker was when they had their wits about them. "...We should be safe here for now, Basil will make sure of it." Incidentally, bones were the one thing that all of the dragonflies loved, and she knew that if that monstrosity made the mistake of allowing the insects to get near it, then it was going to become a chew toy.
Veronica tries to stave off the mounting noise in their head. Ava's okay. She's fine. They're safe. ( Don't get complacent. ) They shake their head, as if the motion will physically help them get their normally calm demeanor back. They swear she can still hear that thing snarling outside, sniffing where it doesn't belong. She hopes it doesn't stalk. That it's stupid, that it won't remember or get distracted in a few minutes and it'll just fuck off.
Their eyes shut, brow knits together, and their hands squeeze Ava's a little too tight. They have to fight the urge to protest. Veronica's the adult here ( barely, mind ) and they shouldn't make Ava have to deal with their injuries. But Ava offered, and she trusts her more than many other people.
" My leg, mainly. Some of that-- whatever that awful smelling goopy shit was got on it. I think it swiped at my back too, but I can't tell if it's blood or just sweat. I'm used to running from weird dudes and psychopaths, not exactly from goopy monsters, " she tries to be lighthearted about it; joke around and laugh it off like she always does at her own misfortune. The wound on her leg is burning.
Veronica lets go of Ava's hands, taking deep breaths. She sinks to the floor of the abandoned building, actually trying to assess the damage to her leg as she turns it slightly to look at the back of it. It's not pretty, the black tar having left a harsh burn and eaten away. It's reminiscent of a large bite mark, like something just took a chunk out of the flesh. Blood is dripping down Veronica's leg.
" I-- I've never seen anything remotely like that, " their eyes glance towards the door. They can't tell if the growling is the beast or just their head messing with them. " Kinda makes the aforementioned weirdos look like chumps. "
