Allen was thankful for the healed back he now possessed, it gave him the capacity to dart for the ICU once he's heard of Blaine's condition. He was also thankful for the night prior when he'd had time to study the data pertaining to Elaine and Blaine's anatomy. It made him valuable on the surgical team. Valuable enough to be able to glare at the others. "Eyes on the patient!" He commanded angrily after glancing for the distraction they had created.<br/><br/>Blaine's resilliance was astonishing. No matter how they tried to sedate him, he remained concious. Now the bullets made sense. Allen warned him about the pain. It was the only comfort he could offer. As he made an incision around the entry, "Lucky us," his 'us' ofcourse referring only to Zara, Tanya the twins and himself. "They skimp on the ammunition. I'd hate to think what would have happened if they'd hit you with a hollow point." His tone shifted to something more business-like as he adressed the staff around him. "Clamps." He had asked Elaine not to use her power on Blaine until the bullet had been removed. "Extractor." He did everything he could to remain professional, to not pause.or slow for fear of extending Blaine's pain unnecessarily. "Suction." And even though they had collected blood for just such an occassion, there was a limited supply. Suddenly Allen was thankful Elaine could not see Blaine in such a sorry state.<br/><br/>It took a significant yank, the bullet slowed by flesh and stopped by bone. He checked for fractures, sealing them if he found any and quickly repairing the damage on his way out. Or atleast, sealing them so that they would heal properly in left alone. He signaled to one of the other staff, "Alright, reinflate his lung." Ofcourse,under normal circumstances the healing process and proper breathing off respritory machinery would take longer. Fortunately they were far from normal curcumstances. He slipped his nitrile glove off as he stepped twords Elaine and slipped his hand into hers briefly. ~Alright Elaine, I've done everything I can. It's your turn now.~ he gave her hand a gentle squeeze before releasing.
