Stab Wounds Aren't Fun

The next few days pass in a flash, pun not intended.

I mostly spend my time at the library, Big Belly Burger or the warehouse.

I stay off my leg as much as possible but it hasn't been healing well. If anything, it has grown worse.

My skin has become sweaty with an endless fever and my leg has become green around the wound.

If it gets any worse, I'll have to go to Caitlin for help. I'll just have to ask her to meet me somewhere and to not tell the others.

I stand up from my carte and hooble over to the kitchen to take some painkillers. They do little to help but do dull the pain somewhat.

I swallow down one with a gulp of water before returning to my crate.

I hear footsteps and turn my head weakly to see Lisa, Snart and Mick walk in.

"Are you sure you're going to be OK for the job we're pulling tonight?" Snart asks me.

"Yeah, you don't look so great," Lisa comments worriedly.

"I'm fine, just got the flu or something," I tell them with a small smile that probably looks more like a grimace.

Snart narrows his eyes.

"I think you should sit this one out. What's the point of having a getaway driver that can hardly stay awake," he says, I start to protest but stop.

I'm too tired to argue and he is right.

"Fine, I'll sit this one out," I tell him. He nods.

......................

They don't stay for very long before they all head out to the bar or something, I wasn't really listening.

I put down the book that I was reading, I got it from the library, and slowly stand up.

I start to walk to the kitchen but my leg collapses under my weight. I try to get up but instead let out a small cry from the agonising pain in my leg.

I have to call Caitlin.

I grab my phone that is luckily in my pocket and quickly press on her name in my contacts. I hope she picks up.

"Hello, Caitlin Snow speaking," she answers in her usual cheery voice.

"Hey Caitlin," I say in the calmest, pain free voice I can manage.

"What is it?" she asks cautiously. She's probably annoyed at me for ignoring her and the team.

"Umm, I was wondering if you could come over to me with some medical supplies?" I answer. She's quiet for a moment.

"Why, what's wrong. Are you injured?" she fires questions at me rapidly.

I take a deep breath through the pain.

"Can you please just come? I'll send you through my location. And please don't say a thing to Cisco or Barry," I plead. I hear her sigh on the other side of the line.

"Fine, I'll be over as quickly as I can," she replies. I thank her before hanging up and texting her my location.

I just hope she gets here in time.

......................

By the time I finally hear Caitlin walk inside the warehouse, I'm sweating profusely and breathing in raspy breaths.

"Raelynn! What happened to you?" she exclaims as she kneels down next to me.

"Later. My leg," I her in between breaths.

She fiddles around my hurt leg and I gasp out in pain.

She attempts to roll up the pants but that makes the pain even worse.

"You need a hospital," she says, worry evident in her voice. I shake my head.

"No! Just, cut off the pants," I tell her. She fiddles around in her bag and grabs what I assume is a pair of scissors.

She gets to work cutting off the pant leg and I gasp out every time she moves my leg by even an inch.

After a couple of minutes, she has finally finished getting it off.

She hasps out loud when she sees the state of my wound, her eyes welling up with tears.

"What happened?" she asks. I swallow hard.

"The Reverse Flash," I manage to gasp out.

"He told me to stay away from you guys. I tried to cauterize it but that obviously didn't work," I explain to her.

"That's why you were avoiding us!" she exclaims in realisation. I nod slowly, gasping at the pain such a small movement causes.

"Your leg has a really bad infection," she says, inspecting the wound, "I didn't bring the right equipment or supplies either. I'm going to have to go back to S.T.A.R Labs to get the supplies," she says, still watching me with worry.

"Go, don't worry, I'm pretty sure I can last a bit longer," I tell her, giving a small smile.

She nods before running out of the warehouse.

I hear her car drive away before my eyes close from exhaustion and pain and I drift into a deep sleep.
