Rorschach shoved her back and snapped another finger.

Adrian's mouth twisted furiously.
"Rorschach-"
He jumped at him and kicked Rorschach in the chin.

"Are you okay?"

Dan stayed close to Adrien "Rorschach what were you thinking!?"

Adrien screamed anticipatorily at Adrian's kick, given that it was directed at his own head too, and then, after panickedly he tried to hurry away from Megan while still on the floor, screamed again when he put his arms behind him to try and pull himself away and in doing so grabbed and pulled at the floor with a hand on which two fingers were broken.

Dan once again stood between Adrian and Adrien "For god sakes Adrian you're scaring the shit out of him! Step back!"

"Don't you touch him-" Megan began, but the whole room was suddenly flooded with the same voice at the same time, coming from the televisions.
Every screen was showing the same image at once. Some were subtitled; others belonged to English stations, but they each showed the Speaker for the United Nations addressing the world:
"In light of tonight's attack on humanity by Dr. Manhattan, and the threat issued by him, it has been put to emergency vote and passed that all nuclear arms within the possession of any country are to be deactivated and destroyed immediately, to prevent further reprisals of this nature."
The speaker paused, and swallowed.
"Dr. Manhattan has gone rogue. He answers to no nation, and will not hesitate to destroy our planet as a whole if these measures are not taken."
The speaker had to stop again, and was now visibly trying not to weep.
"God help us. God help us all..."

Adrian stared at the screens for a long time, even as the news reports broke into individual coverage again. His breath quickened; his lips briefly spasmed into a smile that vanished again just as quickly, and he whispered:
"...I did it."
He turned and looked at the others.
"I did it."

Dan who still stood between Adrien and Adrian stared at the television in awe. "This, it can't-"

Jon's lips actually twitched upwards, though it was hardly recognizeable, and all eyes were on the screens but Jon, who had already lived this moment and would indeed never really stop.

Adrien moved from leaning back on his hands to cradling the one, but his eyes moved past Dan's caped silhouette to Adrian's almost childlike incredulity and then triumph, the wonder with which he treated his success chilling Adrien to the core.

"I-"
He turned to face Jon.
"We have brought humanity out of darkness..."
He reached for his head in amazement.
"This- this is your triumph as much as mine..."
