[ there's a curious look at that first comment, but ochako simply nods. ]
Well, we'd found these serums that said they would revive someone, so once we found them, of course we thought it was worth it to at least try. And it worked, but... there were side effects.
Once they woke up, there was no controlling them. They just - immediately started trying to kill us. [ her gaze stay focused on the ground in front of them, deliberately avoiding zuko's eyes. ] We tried restraining them, but it didn't work. And Archer-san is strong, but we were both injured, and they'd been fully healed...
...They both managed to speak to us, before they lost control again. They asked us to kill them.
They’re alive. [ thank goodness. ] I don’t know how, but the worst of their wounds healed while we were leaving. It scared me pretty bad when they both suddenly woke up again, haha.
Whatever healed them the second time didn't have any effect on their minds, so they listened to Archer-san's orders without arguing... so I think they are okay now.
But we should definitely be careful, in case something like that happens again.

What happened to you four?
no subject
But whatever happened, it was all connected. When we found them, all the damage we'd done to the monsters... it happened to them, too.
no subject
The same wounds...?
no subject
Burns, stabs and arrow wounds, and broken bones. It all matched. We killed the monsters, and then... they were dead, too, when we found them.

[ zuko's eyes are pretty wide for a second while he processes this, then -- ]
How.... how is that all possible?

[ she shrugs, the action making her wince. ]
We don't really have a way to go back and check.
no subject
[ because!! yikes!! ]
They're alive now, though, aren't they?
no subject
[ still, she nods. ]

[ he's trying to cheer her up...? maybe?? but also waiting to see if she wants to say more about it ]

That does sound like you.

They seem to be okay.... aside from the obvious.
