Hero saving touch-starved and caged Winged Villain

((Edit:: Changed Hero to Mercer and Villain to Raven for ✨plot reasons✨))

CW: Abandoned, left for dead, sickness, lesions, touch starved

Mercer always did have an affinity for darker things. They loved horror films and enjoyed the adrenaline spike that came with getting scared. That wasn't why they were walking around an abandoned fair ground, but it definitely made the task much more enjoyable.

After clearing out abruptly after a freak accident just a couple days prior, the crew had left a lot behind.

Turning on their flashlight, Mercer entered an old building. They were just here to make sure everyone had really cleared out, but the eerie atmosphere excited them and spurred them on.

Cages lined the walls. This must've been where the animals were kept.

But... something was still here.

"Hello?" Mercer approached the cage. Although the occupant looked almost human, they had massive, black, raven-like wings. Were... they dead..?

Mercer broke the door off the cage.

Inside, the figure stirred, shifting on the floor of the cage.

Slowly, Mercer reached out a hand to the person, lightly touching their shoulder.

"N-no, don't..." The person shifted slightly with a soft whisper. "You... You'll get sick..."

Mercer pulled their hand back slightly, hesitating. "What's... wrong with you..?"

The person let out a pitiful whimper and tried to push themself up from the ground. Before they could fall back, Mercer caught them. The person fell into an intensive coughing fit as they lay limp in Mercer's hold.

"So-sorry..." They wheezed once they managed to get their cough under control.

"Were you left behind?" Mercer pulled the person close to them, ignoring their momentary protest that they would get sick too.

As soon as Mercer pulled the person in against their chest, their protests sputtered to a stop and they curled closer into Mercer's touch. "I... I was too si-sick to travel... they... they said I wasn't worth it..." They closed their eyes. "A-are you... are you gonna leave me too..?"

"No." Mercer answered quickly. "No, of course not. I'm going to get you out of here and to see a doctor."

"No... no, that won't help... Has... has to be someone who knows how to treat birds and humans..." The person turned their face towards Mercer. Their eyes were dull and white lesions were breaking out around their mouth. "I-it's... it's like Candida... but... it... it's contagious to both... to both species... I'm sorry..."

Mercer didn't know what that was, but it looked pretty bad. "Don't worry about it. I'll help find someone to treat you. What's your name?"

"They... They called me Raven... Yours..?"

"I'm Mercer."

Raven smiled softly, curling up close to Mercer's body. "You're warm..."

"I'm going to pick you up, now, okay?"

Raven nodded, clinging to the front of Mercer's costume with the hand not currently trapped against their body.

Carefully, Mercer lifted Raven off the ground, carrying them off the fair grounds.

Endometriosis Stages

Symptoms do not always correlate with the stage. Meaning that, some people may experience excruciating pain, yet have stage one (minimal) and vice versa.

Trigger Warning: Menstrual Cycle / Growth Diagram / Cyst and Lesions and Adhesions / Infertility / Digestive Issues / Pelvic Cavity.

my new OCs, Cat-dance and Lesions

“The Quickening” (S04E24, Stardate Unknown) is a standout episode for Bashir, detailing his perseverance and his care. Another layer of the cruelty of the Dominion is revealed, the ticking clock of a plague is at work, and yet the episode is allowed the time it needs to breathe and tell the story well.

There was never any other idea for my poster than the lesions changing from blue to red as the Blight takes hold.

On days like today, I like to load up my MRI images of my brain and go through and count the lesions. I always end up with a different number. I do this, so I remember that my symptoms are valid. That even though doctors will try and pass it off as something psychological, I think of the lesions on my brain. You know, all 20+ of them. I remember that this scarring on my brain has forced my brain to rewire all of its’ pathways, and that I am not faking my symptoms. I know there is something wrong with me. So I will keep looking at my scans to remind myself.

Four COVID-related skin complaints everyone should look out for

Rashes and lesions are a potentially useful way of spotting COVID-19 patients who are otherwise asymptomatic.

A less common symptom are rashes of various forms. These have been slower to be reported, partly due to the wide variety that have appeared in COVID-19 patients, making it more challenging to establish a consistent correlation.

Nevertheless, knowing how COVID-19 affects the skin is important. A recent study found that for 17% of COVID-19 patients with multiple symptoms, skin rashes were the first symptom to appear, while for 21% of patients rashes were their only symptom. Being able to identify the effects of COVID-19 on the skin may allow cases to be spotted earlier – or even picked up altogether in people who are otherwise asymptomatic. This could help limit transmission.

With that in mind, here are the four main types of skin changes to look out for, and the possible reasons why they occur.

Probably good to know. Says someone who has always broken out in weird rashes at the drop of a hat. 🙄
