[ He watches both Angel and Parker for a moment, stance purposefully open and non-confrontational, but there's a part of him that's ready, just in case. There's a touch of relief when Angel comes over, and he turns his focus onto her. Sam's already reaching out when he absently notes Petre's presence, and he doesn't stop, fingers curling carefully underneath Angel's jaw and thumb gentle under her chin. The same motion he'd do if he was just assessing it, though of course the moment he touches her, his symbiote ability kicks in. A brief flare of warmth, and then her injury is healed at the same time as it transfers over to Sam.
If he were a different kind of person, he wouldn't work to keep the pain in his jaw and the taste of blood from spreading across the brood link to Parker. But he does, taking extra care to make sure his shields are up and strong. He might not like Parker, but he respects her need to keep herself separate from this forced connection.
Not that it matters much anyway, because there's barely a second after Petre gets there that things escalate right back up into violence. Sam turns from Angel, though he doesn't step in - just eyes them both. ]

Come on, seriously? How is this gonna help?
