Judy Alvarez/V oneshots

Bullet to the brain ⚠️

Trigger warning: bullets and talk of death.
Based off the scene with takemura trying to save v and when he brings her to Vik. Sorry it's short.
———
The world was blurry and sounds melted together. Couldn't make sense of anything.
"I cannot hold it!"
I felt myself get put against something.
"I need... to rest..."
W-what's going on?
"That your blood? Misty!"
———
I felt the coolness of leather and the feeling of my heart giving out.
"Pressure's tanking!"
"It's neurogenic shock. She's dying."
"Gotta cut my way through the occipital bone. No other way."
"There is risk of --"
"I know what I'm doing."
Searing hot pain flows through my body.
———-
I hear the sound of a tv. Can't really see much. I can hear a conversation between two people, "Apparently those new eyes you gave V recorded the whole konpeki plaza gig she had. I watched everything. To Them arriving at the hotel, the lockdown, slotting the chip, Jackie dying. It was brutal. Felt like I was there with them."
"Wait hold on. You said slot the chip? I knew something was different with her scans. I didn't think to check for anything I was to busy getting that damn bullet out. Shit. That chip. It's going to do some massive damage."
"Yeah I heard about it on the news. It's meant for a corpse. A person who's been long dead. What the fuck is that thing going to do?"
"There's many things it can do. The one major thing is -"

Every sound blended together then I was emerged in the darkness again.
———
"How is she?"
"Slower on the mend than you, but lookin' better every day."
I can see a bit clearer.
———-
I finally wake up to Vik sitting next to me.
"Hey kid. Can ya hear me?" I turned my head to look at vik.
"Uh yeah yeah I can. Everything just a bit blurry but I can hear ya."
"I'm glad to see ya awake. You almost died, V. Judy keeps calling she's upset. She's gonna be here in a couple minutes." I tried to sit up a bit more but it hurt. I winced in pain.
"Here kid. Take it slow." Vik got up from where he was sitting to help me sit up. He lifted me up gently as if I didn't weigh anything.
"Thanks." I said as he sat me up on the bed.
"So I almost died? A bullet to the brain is supposed to completely zero me. How the fuck does someone come back from that?" I asked.
"Well you did die. Twice. I had to restart your heart twice. But that's the good news. That you're alive. The bad news is that the chip you stole from arasaka, it's worming it's way through your brain." Vik explained.
I shook my head, "what the fuck you mean? Like it's in my head."
"Like it's overriding your brain and body until it destroys you. Johnny silverhand engram is meant to be for a dead body. A body with no soul. And you must've slotted it before you got shot. You've probably got a couple weeks at most. I'm sorry kid. There's nothing I can do. If I take the chip out you die." Vik rubbed his eyes.
"There's gotta be someone who can do something. I can't die, Vik. There's gotta be something."
"This chip is to complex for me and many other people to crack. The only way would be to go back to Arasaka. But even that's a slim chance of winning. I'm truly sorry." Vik put his hand on my shoulder, I could see the tears in his eyes.
I started to cry, "might as well stick some lead in my mouth and pull the fucking trigger. Might as well end it myself before this chip does it for me." I could faintly hear a door open.
"If I ever hear those words out of your mouth again. I'm gonna slap the shit outta you." Judy came into view with tear marks down her face.
"Judy...." I whispered as I cried. She hugged me and kissed my cheek.
"Don't ever scare me like that again. I thought you fucking died." Judy cried into my shoulder. After a few minutes me and Judy separated. I heard another pair of steps walk in and looked over to see misty with a wheelchair. She smiled at me, "Figured you would wanna go home and get some rest in your own bed."
"Thanks, misty..." Judy helped me into the wheelchair.
We both gave a quick goodbye to Vik who wouldn't stop rubbing his eyes, trying to hide his tears.
Misty helped us get the wheelchair up the stairs and then  walked us to the outside of her shop. Judy walked off to pull her car over in front of the shop. Misty pulled out two bottles from her pocket.
"This first ones from Vik. It will help decrease the side effects and make you feel better, it won't stop completely but slows it down. This one's from me it does the opposite reverse the effect. If things get too much you can take these. I don't want it to come down to that but I wanted to give you options, hunny." She handed me both bottles.
"Giving me pills that will kill me thanks." I chuckled.
"V I know it sucks. But maybe you'll find someone who can help stop this. I have faith that things will work out in some way. But I should go. Vik told me after you left he wanted my help cleaning up." Misty gave me a smile.
"Uh hey misty." I asked.
"Yes Val?"
"Uh Jackie... look I'm sorry about Jackie.... I tried to save him. I did. I just wanted to say sorry. It's my fault. He talked about you all the time, saying how much he loved you and how amazing you were."
"V, it's ok. I accepted jacks death. Everything happens for a reason right? I believe right now he's up there In heaven with his family. Nobody ever truly leaves, V. They are always watching, always encouraging you to move forward. And that's what Jack would've wanted for us. To move forward and live our best life. I loved Jackie and he loved me. But the universe had other plans for him and that's ok." Misty smiled again and she gave me a quick hug then walked off. Not even a second later Judy's van parked in front. She got out and wheeled me over to the passenger side. She helped me get in the car and put the wheelchair in the back.
She got into the driver side and looked at me.
"Val... I'm sorry this happened. You don't deserve any of this. We are gonna get through this babe and figure this out. I love you." I looked at judy as she spoke. I kissed judy.
"I know we will and I love you too."
