[One day in Unova, the sky opened up.

And dropped out a muppet of a man in tattered conductor's clothing. He hits the ground amid a crowd and instantly a lot is going on. Some people rushing to help him up, to check for injuries. Some calling the police. Some recording the rip in the sky.

And others recording the man, tweeting out that amazing thing that had just occurred.

holy shit a guy fell out the sky

ITS RAINING MEN?! HALLELUJAH???

I can't believe my theory that Ingo was buried in a landfill has been proven wrong like this #FindIngo #FoundIngo???

@ TrueCrimeRoyals TOLD YOU HE WAS ALIVE DUMBASSES

Somewhere, Emmet's phone is screaming with notifications and calls]

[ Emmet makes a few calls and texts — mostly placing a grocery order for later and getting private security going, as well as reaching out to his lawyer to get paperwork stuff happening.

So no. He does not rest while Ingo is getting poked and prodded. ]

[its several hours before Ingo is wheeled back to the room. But!! He's out his hospital gown, in the clothes he had arrived in since he didn't have anything else to wear. He looks very tired and a bit stressed, but also excited because...]

Emmet, I've been cleared for release!

From:

likewinning

That's wonderful! Everything was in order?

[ He stands up, walking over. He'd gather his things except all he really has is his coat, since he came straight from Gear Station and hasn't left since. ]

There were signs of previous injury but nothing too concerning for the present. They've also done me the courtesy of obtaining medication for my pain while my injuries are healing as well as providing me anxiety medication while things are prone to being. Overstimulating.

[which is to say the doctors noticed Ingo becoming Very Overwhelmed at times

I should be good for the month with what I have and we've scheduled a followup in a few weeks.

I do need you to sign papers for me however as I'm still legally not a person.

From:

likewinning

Ah, yes.

[ He steps over, giving the nurse a smile. ]

Thank you for taking care of my brother. I am ready to sign whatever is needed.

From:

noterminalcalledend

[the nurse passes over a clipboard, going over all the places to sign, mentioning that unfortunately uh insurance can't cover this but he can contact the hospital later in regards to negotiating the billing

theres a handy list of all the medications they've put Ingo on, a note on when the followup exam is, just all the handy useful things]

I forgot insurance exists....

From:

likewinning

It will be fine.

[ Because in addition to whatever they had before, Emmet's certainly been working overtime the last three and a half years. It's fine. But also, fuck Unovan health insurance sometimes, man.

He signs in a few different spots. ]

[catching lil sneasel as she flails herself from the bed at his wheelchair, scooping her to his chest

the nurse is now 100% distracted from Emmet, looking at the sneasel, making a high pitched noise of DELIGHT]

From:

likewinning

She is verrrry cute, isn't she?

[ finishing up with all the dumb paperwork, handing back what he needs to hand back. ]

From:

noterminalcalledend

[the nurse takes the clipboard back, one last squeal about the sneasel and agreeing with Emmet. And then.

"Okay, lets get you two out of here without causing a scene."

Time to sneak two subway bosses out the back where they have banned the press. while they're as close as they can be without getting in trouble, they are at least at a distance]

From:

likewinning

— ah, it's this one. Over here.

[ He managed to call a car over. Nice, discrete, no one looking in. ]

From:

noterminalcalledend

[you guys get to keep the wheelchair for Ingo--the nurse explains that with busted ribs he should NOT be on crutches which just makes Ingo grumble. But. Into the car Ingo goes, not fussing about the nurse giving him a hand]

Thank you.

[to both the nurse and Emmet]

From:

likewinning

[ Emmet folds the wheelchair up and puts it in the back before giving the nurse a wave and getting in next to Ingo. ]

Take the long way back. Just in case.

[ The driver nods and starts off. here we gooooo. ]

From:

noterminalcalledend

...we're headed home....

[holy shit we're headed home]

From:

likewinning

. . . yes. I am taking you home.

From:

noterminalcalledend

I'm a little nervous.

From:

likewinning

[ ME TOO.

because he's just now remembering that he hasn't been home since Ingo resurfaced and hadn't been home much at all for a bit before that so.

he's gonna get super judged probably. ]

Do not be.

From:

noterminalcalledend

You're making a face.

From:

likewinning

I am hoping we do not get ambushed outside of our own home.

From:

noterminalcalledend

I can be very loud.

From:

likewinning

I have missed your loudness.

[ They do, in fact, take the long way back, and the car stops around the back of their building where, fortunately, no one is waiting to ambush them.

Emmet gets out first, pulling out the wheelchair and bringing it around to help Ingo. ]

From:

noterminalcalledend

[into chair and]

I sure hope the elevator is working.

From:

likewinning

It was last I checked.

[ which was a few days ago, but details.

He wheels Ingo in and over to the elevator and.

yes. yes it does work, thankfully. ]
