[ As long as there is an after to be had. That's all Danny wants. He thought it was just his own grief refusing to be let go or quelled. Colleen might have thought the same, but he was never more glad to be proven wrong.
He's failed so much. Failed an entire city. Failed this haphazard team or family that they became out of necessity. He can't fail Matt. He won't. It's what's pushing and driving him now. Focus on what isn't right and fix it. Heal it. He can feel it working. Healing the broken man on the ground. ]
N--no. Not yet.
[ He can keep going. He needs to keep going. To make sure. Danny's whole frame is trembling, breath stuttering on the exhale, and he gives a bitten back noise of pain. The connection flickers sharply and stops, the glow of his fist subsiding in the morning light, and he slides away, dropping down to an elbow in the dirt heaps around them. His ears are ringing, and blood is rushing, making him dizzy.
He blinks to try and clear his vision, reaching out with trembling fingers to touch at Matt's face and assess the damage still there. Vision swimming as it is, he can't tell. Please let it be enough. He doesn't have anymore. ]
