prompt from vnirhaus08: ✊- protecting
tw for the bus

Cady is always protecting Janis.

You'd think it'd be the other way around, with their size difference and Janis' tough facade. But 99% of the time, Cady is Janis' knight in shining armor or guardian angel.

When she almost gets into a fistfight with Regina in the hallway over a half-baked insult hurled at her girlfriend, Cady is the one to talk her down.

When she gets the brilliant idea to climb a streetlight to paint the skyline, Cady is the one who pins her to the ground so she can't climb it.

When she almost gets shoved into a locker, Cady is the one who pushes Shane Oman away and sends him scurrying with a punch and a few-well placed threats.

When she almost gets hit by a bus, Cady is the one who pushes her out of the way.

She's been unconscious for a week.

Janis has been very conscious for a week.

How can she sleep, when her girlfriend is barely held together by stitches and a spinal halo, kept alive by tubes down her throat and monitors stuck all over her body, beeping incessantly to remind Janis just why they're here.

How can she sleep, when all she can see when she closes her eyes is Cady's form crumpled on the asphalt, in a pool of her own blood, delicate skin flushed red with road rash and stained purple with horrific bruising and-

A faint groan startles Janis out of her thoughts. "Caddy?"

"Mm," Cady moans. Janis gasps and bursts into tears, rushing to turn off the lights so she doesn't get a headache. She ended up with a pretty bad concussion on top of all her other injuries.

Cady continues struggling to open her eyes, but they suddenly fly open in a panic. The doctors told her she wouldn't be able to move for a while, and she's obviously in a great deal of pain.

"Hey," Janis whispers, ever so gently brushing her fingertips against Cady's cheek. "It's okay, you don't have to be scared. You're okay."

"Jay," Cady croaks, voice weak and raspy from the internal damages and not being used in more than a week.

"Yeah," Janis sniffles. "I'm right here. You're gonna be okay."

"'Happened?"

"You saved me," Janis chuckles. "Again. Super Caddy saving her damsel in distress."

Cady rolls her eyes lovingly. Janis is glad to see none of her personality died with her for those fifteen agonizing seconds. She shoots Janis a look that says, "Really."

"You got hit by a bus," Janis says. "You-you-you... died. For fifteen seconds. They resuscitated you, but you were in so much pain and had so much internal damage that they put you into a coma. After your surgeries."

"Plural?" Cady asks in fright. Janis nods solemnly.

"It broke your spine in a few places," she murmurs. "So they had to fix that, and that's why you have the halo. And you had a lot of internal bleeding, so they had to stitch you up inside and stuff. But they got you stable, and you've been making tons of progress all week."
