Curiosity killed the cat (Jürgen Voller x Reader)

Word count: 3890 words

No smut

Potential triggers: injuries/harm

A/N: Seeing as this was highly requested I FINALLY came up with and wrote something featuring Mads' new character Jürgen Voller. Since it's the Indiana Jones franchise there will be stuff like booby traps.

I hope you enjoy it and forgive me for mistakes or point them out so I can correct them, I haven't proof-read it. (I'm lazy)

You were limping over the old, brittle bridge as fast as you could which led out of the tunnel which was crashing in on itself.

You were right behind your colleague, Jürgen Voller. However, just as he reached the other side and turned around to check on you, the rotten wood gave out beneath your feet.

For a brief moment, your gazes locked as he lunged forward and stretched out a hand, his fingers straining, a desperate gesture to bridge the insurmountable gap between you.
But the distance was vast, a cruel expanse that mocked his efforts.
His lips moved, but the words were lost in the wind.

As you plummeted through the air, time seemed to stretch and contort around you, elongating every second into an eternity.

Your heart was racing in your chest, its rhythmic thumping echoing in your ears like the beat of distant drums.

While descending you felt a rush of cool wind against your skin, tugging at your clothes and tousling your hair. Gravity's pull seemed relentless, an invisible force that gripped every single fiber of your being.

The torrential river awaited you, its surface like a mirror, reflecting the world above in a distorted and fractured mosaic.
The impact approached with agonizing slowness.

Your body tensed up in anticipation, muscles coiling like a spring, preparing for the inevitable collision. The surface of the water rose to meet you, its touch a sudden contrast to the rushing wind.

Then, the river swallowed you whole.

The sensation was both jarring and soothing, the water cradling you in its liquid embrace, buoying you up before pulling you further downward and bubbles arose around you as you sunk down.

Your attempts to move were sluggish, as if your body was weighed down by an invisible anchor.

Darkness encroached on your vision, creeping in from the edges like an encircling fog. The world above became a distant, fading memory as your awareness waned.
Your body felt heavy and unresponsive, as if you were caught in a suffocating embrace.

The gentle dance of sunlight on the water's surface above was the last thing you laid your eyes upon before your eyelids grew impossibly heavy.

Your consciousness slipped away, a gradual descent into the depths of oblivion.

The river's currents became your guide, carrying you along its hidden pathways as your senses faded away.
The sounds of the water, the distant rush of the world above, and the muffled beat of your own heartbeat became distant echoes, gradually replaced by an all-encompassing silence.

This was it.

This was the end.

But who could have known, that this single favor you were asked for would cause you to end up in a situation like this?

You were sitting at your desk in your office, taking notes as you read a book about ancient treasures when suddenly somebody barged in without even knocking.
