Ludwigs rescue

Train was taking the rescue mission to save Ludwig alone. He was the most qualified, and they didn't want a big team. Bloody was going but staying on the dropship.

They arrived at the base and Train snuck in to save his partner.

He crept through the hallways and used the vents, looking for his vain partner. He heard some voices and looked through the vent.

"What do we do with him?" One asked

"Kill him for all I care," came a familiar voice. It was xQc and he was talking to Connor. Train felt himself tense and continued to move through the vents.

He saw a flash of the lime color and looked down.

Ludwig sat tied to a chair. Bruises on his face and blood dripped from a cut on his head. His eyes were closed and his breathing was shallow. Train jumped down and Ludwig didn't make a move.

"Ludwig?" Train whispered. A small groan came from his partner's mouth and the man's eyes fluttered open before closing again. He was struggling to breath, his chest hurting.

"Train?" Ludwig asked weakly. His voice was soft and hoarse, clearly from screaming in pain. Train started to untie the ropes on Ludwigs wrists.

"I'm here," he whispered. A small, weak smile crossed Ludwigs face. Train slid an arm under Ludwigs legs and his back before picking him up. Ludwig whimpered in pain at the touch on his back. Clearly something was broken

Ludwig was tired. He just wanted to sleep but he knew if he did, there was a chance he wasn't waking up. It hurt to breathe as well, and movement made it worse.

Train carried Ludwig silently, neither man talking. Clearly the touch was painful, and Train wondered what all they had done to him.

"Easy Ludwig," he whispered. Ludwigs brown eyes met his and Train felt his heart melt. Ludwig had been caught and was hurt because of him...

He managed to get back to the dropship and they headed back to their base. Ludwig lay on his back, the floor hurting and making it harder to breathe. Bloody was immediately checking Ludwig over. She touched his chest and he hissed in pain.

"Train, help me get the top part of his suit off. I think something might be broken," she said. Train nodded and got Ludwig into a sitting position. He unzipped the zipper and slowly managed to peel part of Ludwigs suit off.

Ludwig felt his face flush a little and winced as he was moved. His head was swimming and he closed his eyes

"Ludwig, stay awake for me," Train said. Ludwig forced his eyes open and felt Train crush hair out of his eyes. Bloody was doing something and wrapped his chest, trying to keep the rib from breaking even more.

They got back to base and Ludwig was taken to the medbay. Train was worried but tried to ignore the feeling in his stomach. Instead he turned in his mission report.

A while later, Train was laying on his bed. He was reading a book when the door opened. Ludwig came in and used the wall to support himself. Train looked up. He helped Ludwig onto his bed and couldn't help but smile

"How are you doing?"

"Broken rib, Burt other than that just a little shaken,"

"I'm glad you're ok," Train said. He went to go back to his own bed but Ludwig grabbed his wrist

"Stay with me for now?"

"Sure bud," Train said and slid into the bed next to Ludwig. He neatly put his arms around Ludwigs waist, trying not to jostle the man. Ludwig curled up gently, trying not to hurt himself.
