so I'm glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned

Who: Maxine Myers + You
Where: Undisclosed 1st floor location, and later the clinic
When: 4/17 onward
Rating: PG-ish? Maybe some cussing.
Summary: Catch-all for the fallout of Maxine's run-in with Dean. She's off her feet for a day or two. Even if she'd rather not be.
The Story:

[April 17th]
Afterwards, it's hard to remember even parts of the attack. Encounter? She remembers shooting first (insert inevitable Star Wars reference by Sam Yao, probably), but in the aftermath of the attack it's hard to think of even that. Even after she comes to (more or less, the waking world a hazy and fearful half-understood thing even before she tries to comprehend the unoccupied room she'd been hidden away in), she just knows that she hurts everywhere, and wants to sleep, and is deeply resentful of anyone who would keep her from that.

[April 18th onward]
She'll admit, after that - in a place without modern hospitals, technology, or surgical options, she's really, really glad that magic is an option. Especially when it comes to head trauma.

That isn't to say she's all better. She hadn't wanted to be all better. She hadn't wanted her brain to tell her one thing even while her eyes were telling her another. She's had enough of that for one lifetime. So she still looks unmistakably roughed-up, smoky-brown skin purpled dark with bruises apread across her neck and one cheekbone. But though her eyes are sleepless and heavy, there's a hardness in them too. By the afternoon of the second day after the attack, she's back in the freshly-warded clinic, shotgun back in its holster in the footwell of her desk.

She's had worse try to scare her into hiding. Even when death was something very permanent, it hadn't worked.

Michonne says nothing for a moment, taking that in.

"So. We got a demon on the loose. And a cannibal."

Fantastic. Fucking wonderful. And her friends are being affected by this shit, and there's not a damn thing she can do about it, apparently. "You need anything? Can I do anything?"

She wants the people she's gotten to know to be okay. Maxine had her back when Michonne was vulnerable - that goes a long way with her. But she's stunted now in how to help, when there's nothing she can do. It was why she'd gone off on the hunt for the Governor even when there was no lead. Because she was helpless, because she couldn't do anything to save Andrea.

"You stay off the radar, too. Maybe stick around places with more people." Not that a crowd would probably stop a demon, but maybe she wouldn't be the sole target and could get to safety a little easier.

Not for the first time, Michonne's completely frustrated with this place, with what it does, with how it screws with every little nuance in a person's life.

"I've said it before, and I'm saying it again: Wonderland is fucked up." Huffing out a breath, she looks at Max now with an expression somewhere between concerned and understand that sometimes there's just nothing you can do.

"Mind if I stay a little while, then?"

"Play enough to be able to kick your ass," Michonne says as she sits, going for normal, for not tiptoeing around Max. For just having a real moment amidst the bullshit that is Wonderland.
