Hereford Base; Infirmary
Date: May 15th, 2021
Derek POV
You opened your eyes to see the dim lights of the Infirmary. You looked around and noticed Mickey was next to you laying down on a different bed. He looked over at you and could tell he was smiling under his balaclava.
Mickey: Morning sunshine.
Derek: *laughs* Don't call me sunshine ever again.
Mickey: So it seems like we're both stuck here for the time being.
Derek: How long was I out for?
Mickey: I was asleep for most of it, but I'd say 13 hours?
Derek: Well atleast it wasn't as bad as before.
Mickey: Yea. Because before, you were shot 5 times. This one was still as bad. Gustave had to get the bullet out since there was no exit point. He also said it quite stupid of you to try and move around while the bullet was still lodged in you.
Derek: Well what did he want me to do, just sit there dangling while you got your ass handed to you by a rusty pipe?
Mickey: Yea, pretty much.
You heard a door open to reveal Gustave walking in and setting things down on a table.
Doc: Good you're both awake. Sean, you're free to leave. I ask that you go back to your dorm and continue to lay down and rarely move around due to your minor concussion.
Mickey: I'll take it I'm gonna need a pair of crutches aswell?
Doc: That you do, you're out of all activities for a week until I see that your leg is recovering. As for you Derek, I want you to go back to your dorm and lie down aswell. I'm going to have Franklin come by every so often to get you what you need. Although, I don't have a definitive date for when you can be cleared.
Derek: So just have me do as little activity as possible, you know how hard that is for me doc.
Doc: I know, but it is key that you don't move because of your hip. It also doesn't help that you decided to make risky choices while the bullet was still in your body.
Derek: Alright alright. I promise I won't move around... for the first few days.
Doc: Good, if you have no more questions I will have Franklin come in to help bring you guys back to your dorm.
Derek: Yea just one more, am I atleast able to sit upright? Like on a chair or couch?
Doc: You can as long as you don't lean forward or try to lean back.
Derek: Alright fine.
You and Mickey both got up with you taking your time. You were handed a pair of crutches and Patch soon walked into the room.
Derek: Where's your maid outfit.
Patch: *laughs* Fuck off. Now come on, I need to take you two back to the dorm.
The three of you left the infirmary and you walked through the halls of the base until you reached your dorm. Patch opened the door and you all walked inside. The three of you took off your balaclavas and Patch closed the door and locked it.
Patch: Mickey, go in your room and lie down. Derek, you can either do the same or you can sit down on the couch.
Derek: Depends, did TimTheTatMan upload?
Patch: No.
Derek: Then I'm going the fuck back to sleep.
Patch: I will help you get in bed then.
You and Patch started to walk towards your room while Mickey gave you both a sarcastic look.
Mickey: How come I don't get tucked in maid boy.
Patch: 1. Because of Dereks hip and 2. Because you called me maid boy.
Mickey: He asked where your maid outfit was.
Patch: Still need to help him because of his hip.
You both walked into your room and started to slowly sit down on your bed with Patch making helping you lay down. He took the pair of crutches and put them against the wall.
Patch: Alright, I'll be back to check on you in an hour or so.
Derek: Alright, thanks Franklin.
Patch: Anytime, just don't get up on your own, don't want to risk anything happening. You lost alot of blood.
Derek: Yea I'll be sure to not do anything.
Patch: Alright. I'll be back in a bit.
He put his balaclava back on and opened your door and shut it. You heard the other door and open and quickly close. You laid back and closed your eyes and fell back asleep.
Patch POV
You closed the door as you saw Monika and Ela walking over.
IQ: Is he ok?
Patch: He's fine, just needs some assistance if he decides to go somewhere.
Ela: You think we could see him?
Patch: Sorry, he doesn't have his balaclava on and I want him to get some more rest.
The two of them looked at eachother and then back towards you.
Patch: Dont even think about it.
IQ: Dont worry we're not.
Patch: Good, now I'll be on my way, need to go get him some food.
You stood at the door and everything was silent for a minute until you spoke back up.
Patch: I hope you realize I'm not moving until you guys leave.
Ela: Way to be a buzzkill. Fine, we'll leave.
You saw Ashley walking over aswell and came up to you.
Ashley: Evening Franklin.
Patch: Hey Ash.
Ashley: Derek and Sean inside?
Patch: Yea they are, Sean might be doing stuff but be quiet when you walk in. Dereks getting some more rest.
Ashley: Dont worry I will, just wanted to make sure my brother and Sean were alright.
You moved out of the way and Ashley walked inside and closed the door.
Ela: So she can walk in but we can't.
Patch: Yea, because she's Dereks sister.
IQ: Still isn't fair.
Patch: Ok, I'm walking away. Doors locked anyway.
You walked away from the two and started to head towards the cafeteria. You walked inside and got yourself some food and also grabbed an extra tray for Derek. You saw Mark and decided to call him over.
NATO: Whats up Franklin.
Patch: Not alot, can you just come help me bring this extra tray for Mickey, just want him laying down for an extra day just to be safe.
NATO: Yea no problem, I could give him some company while you help Derek.
Patch: Thanks, it means alot.
NATO: Hey, where would we be right now if it weren't for them.
Patch: Probably still in Afghani.
NATO: Yea, lets go now, don't want to keep them waiting.
You picked up your tray of food and also picked up Dereks. Mark got another tray for Mickey and you both left the cafeteria and went back to your dorm. Mark opened the door and you both walked inside. You set the teams down and locked the door behind you. You both took off your balaclavas as you picked up both of the trays and headed into Dereks room. You saw Ashley sitting in a chair next to him with him awake and still laying on his back.
Patch: Hey man, got you some food since you haven't eaten in awhile.
Derek: Thanks, mind helping me sit upright?
You walked over to his side and helped move him up against the bedframe. You brought the tray over and put it on his lap. You took your tray and started to slowly eat your food.
Derek POV
You noticed Franklin started to eat his food so you decided to do the same. You cut into your steak.
Patch: How was your hip while I was gone.
Derek: Its good, didn't do anything stupid yet.
Ashley: You better not do anything stupid until you're fully healed.
Derek: But that isn't fair. I need to keep working until I get better.
Patch: Better doesn't make you bulletproof.
Derek: I realized that but sti-
NATO burst through the door in what seemed like a rush.
Patch: Mark whatsup, I thought you were with Sean?
NATO: I was and was just looking through my tablet to get more info on the Blackmasks, theres something you guys need to see.
He pulled out his tablet and pulled it up to your TV. You saw a photo of a lab where some blackmasks were and also some people on tables some were in tubes that seemed to be filling them up with some sort of serum.
NATO: If I'm right, they're making super soldiers.
Patch: Talk about copycats, thats straight out of Captain America. But on a serious note what are we supposed to do? Derek and Sean are injured and we don't have the skills or firepower to take them on if they ARE in fact super soldiers.
Derek: The healing will have to wait.
Patch: Dont even talk like that, you're healing.
Derek: And what, just sit here while they plan on creating super soldiers in order to take over combat superiority? Frank, I'll wait a couple days but that's it. I don't care if I'm not bulletproof, I'm training to take them on if they do get close... and that's final.
