Bleed, Patch, And Keep Moving - An Apex Legends Story

Chapter 89 - Sarah Briggs

Octavio stirred a bit in his sleep which eventually led to him waking up. His chest was warm and cold and wet all at the same time. He pulled his arm away from Ajay and looked his IV site to make sure everything was still attached. The site and line looked fine. He looked at the blood dried to his arm and then to the wet blood of his chest. His fingers gently pushed Ajay's hair away from her neck. He pushed his fingers underneath the neckline of her hoodie and toward her right shoulder. He stopped moving his fingers once they pressed against her wet, macerated flesh. He swallowed hard as he pulled his hand away.

He gently pulled his body from hers and stood up from the bed. Next to the bed was a cart full of dressing supplies. He opened the drawers and began pulling out what he needed. Ajay sat up using her hands and left hip as leverage. "Silva?" She rubbed her eyes, "Whatcha doing?" He smiled when her heard her soft voice, "Che, take off your hoodie and your shirt and your bra." She looked confused for a moment but as she started to move she start to realized that she had forgotten about her damaged shoulder. She managed to peel the top half of her clothing off by the time Octavio returned to her.

"Che." He observed her shoulder, "If this keeps going on you're gonna have to build yourself an arm." He smirked at her as he began to dig in her backpack pulling out the first aid kit. He sat down next to her on the bed as she opened it and pulled out the stitch kit. Octavio cleaned her wound as she began threading the needle with the medical thread. Octavio gently took the needle from her began stitching up her shoulder. "What happened Che?"

The first stitch was always the hardest. The cracking noise that the needle made as it pierced through her flesh stung briefly and just became a slight annoyance afterwards. Ajay gazed at him lovingly. She really didn't trust anyone else to stitch her up anymore expect for him. "Revenant." Octavio grew tense. That was a name that he would never get used to.

"During our match." She shook her head as she tried to think, "I don understand though. D.O.C. still isn't functioning in Alexander's nox gas." He looked down at her breasts briefly before looking back to what he was doing, "Did you win?" She smiled for a moment but pain washed the smile away quickly, "Yah. Well my team did." She closed her eyes and tried to focus on something other than the pain in her shoulder. "Does it matter?" He said as he tried hard not to look at her beautiful, round breasts.

Ajay looked down for a moment trying to figure out what he was talking about, "Whatcha mean? Does what matter?" Octavio stopped stitching her up and began to tie off the thread, "Does it matter that D.O.C. didn't work? This shouldn't have happened in the first place. It wasn't even bullets this time right?" He stood up and began cleaning up, "Obviously this isn't a bullet wound. I know the arena is messed up but this is beyond that." He wasn't trying to come off as mean but he was just worried about her.

He climbed back into bed and laid down, "Come on Che." He patted the small space next to him, "Let's just rest." Ajay nodded and laid down next him, curling into him; once again they fit together like puzzle pieces. Octavio pulled her in tight and covered them both up. He shuddered as her breasts rubbed against his skin. Ajay closed her eyes as Octavio played with her hair and resisted the urged to play with her breasts.

MOB-1316 was one of the few working Titans that Ajay had ever seen up close. She didn't dare ask Sarah Briggs to get inside. Ajay only knew very little about Briggs but what she did know was that Briggs was very intense and held ill feelings towards the IMC. Briggs was about the same height as Ajay. Her hair was short brown and held up by a red bandana. Ajay only ever saw Briggs in Militia gear and armor. As a commander of the Frontier Militia, Briggs was quick on her feet and unbelievable with a smart pistol.

Typhon was the heated battleground for the ending point of the war and it was becoming too dangerous for a lot of the crew to stay there. The planet, itself, was slowly becoming obliterated by the ongoing battles. With the ongoing days it was becoming evident that it was getting harderfor ground forces to make any progress. Ajay did what she could as a combat medic but Captain Lastimosa had other plans for her.
