[Daniil posts live from a café near the museum. He has no patience for typing responses, and his own visage should explain why. His nose has recently been broken and reset. He looks exhausted and irritated, but he has a duty.]

I need a couple people to come down to the café near that absurd museum with the sewn up fruit exhibits. Bring a stretcher, we have a patient who could use some more urgent treatment.

[From somewhere offscreen, a voice that is distinctly not Daniil’s states:] This Etrayan shot me in an attempt to get information I did not possess. I would appreciate his removal from my presence.

Now- That’s not true at all. That is not the reason you were stopped. [Daniil now regrets making a video, but what’s done is done. ]

I can fly him to medical care if it's an emergency.

[Getting shot typically is? But both Daniil and the other voice sound oddly calm.]

[ Castor will not be addressing Daniil in any way, but he has one janky bot helping him, and he could feasibly get into the network feed if necessary.

He can also be found in person, in a makeshift nest made out of table cloths, with his foot badly wrapped. ]

You shot Castor?

[He really prefers using text, but given the subject of Daniil's message he's pretty sure the guy isn't in a position to be prompt with text messages.]

What the fuck, man?

[ What in the--Well, first things first. ]

Do we have another doctor available and how serious is the wound?!

[ Dr. Dankovsky??? ]

[thantagonist]

It could be more dire. There is a tourniquet on, but he is rejecting further treatment. He won’t die anytime soon.

[thantagonist]

Yes, yes. I did technically shoot him, but he won’t die. It was strategic.

[newsbeat]

Why'd you shoot him?

voice;

[thantagonist]

I assure you I had a perfectly good reason. Take a look around outside and you’ll see it for yourself. It may seem extreme, but it is the path of lesser bloodshed.

[thantagonist]

We do. …I’m surprised he hasn’t reached out yet. [Paging Dr. Romano?]

But the wound is not very serious. It’s just through the foot. It’s not as if he was running Olympic marathons before this, it shouldn’t impede his quality of life.

[thantagonist]

He was escaping. I was asking important questions pertinent to the continued survival of everyone here. This might be difficult for a superman to conceptualize, but every moment I spend outside I risk rather brutal death.

[newsbeat]

It's not as difficult as you'd think.

Do you want me to come get him or do you two have more to talk about?

[thantagonist]

Oh no, he is quite ardently committed to ignoring me now. You should come get him.

[newsbeat]

Got it.

[levelshift]

You sure about that? [He gets this is an extreme situation, but his bias towards artificial life is getting in the way.] Did you actually get anything out of him?

[badlydisarmed]

I just made it into the camp. Why would you do this?

[newsbeat]

[At some point after Daniil reached out to the Etrayans and also conveniently after any other Etrayans tag this comment, Clark lands nearby.]

Hi. Do you want me to take you to better medical care? ...more sterile medical care?

[wannasmash]

It's dangerous out there and you shot someone in the foot.

[ Midoriya thinks that's pretty serious! Speaking as someone who has broken his entire leg before, there are a lot of nerves and bones in the foot and also Castor can't walk now!! ]

Okay well I'm gonna bring some medical supplies to where Superman is. If that doctor needs a ride too just have him message me.

[thantagonist]

It’s clean through. You don’t have to do a thing. Isn’t there another doctor there anyway? And magic, besides.

[cstr]

I would like to be away from the man with the gun, and I would advice, for everyone's safety that the gun is taken from him.

[ His voice is calm, but his temperature is up and he is very stressed, even if it's not obvious to normal humans. ]

[badlydisarmed]

I heard there was but I haven't met them. How did you even get the gun?

[newsbeat]

If he tries to shoot at you again I'll catch it.

[Clark disapproves of guns in general but given the state of things on the ground here, he's not going to take Daniil's gun.]

[feytality]

You promised me self-defense only!!

[ she's not mad, she's disappointed ]

[thantagonist]

I specifically shot one of the people endangering us all. Through the foot.

I have medical supplies. But more wouldn’t go amiss, I suppose. I’ll teach you to administer morphine if Castor consents, even though he’s not even screaming.

[thantagonist]

Why, from the gun maker, of course.
