A/n - I'm so sorry for yhe short ass chapter , my motivation has been a bit low for this fic kinda like my grades in Spanish  but enjoy 😭

About a little over a week passed.

Durning this period you started to contact more with graves. He started telling bits and pieces of old missions and story's from his childhood and family and traditions that had been past around in his famoly. He grew more protective over you and you even grew more lively as he spent more time with you throughout the week as much as he could. Doctors checked on your constantly to either change your bandages or to give you food and to help you to the bathroom if you needed to go or when You tell ultimately fell and had no other choice but to get help because your  stubborn ass didn't want to get help to get to the bathroom so you tried Doing it on your own again only to fail.

You stood in your medical room getting dressed , pulling the black ,soft and sweet scented
sweatpants onto your legs.you winced a little as you were still sore , it was only a week and you were still healing but you were able to function to an extent , still not being able to bend or lift things. Pulling your shirt over your head you stuck your arms through the arm holes provided and you then sat on the medical bed you had stood in for a week and you put on your socks as you got ready to leave for good. You were so excited to finally be able to get out and to be able to have a chance at better life. You finished up changing and you grabbed the bag that was given to you by nurses and it held some normal nesesitys that people would bring when moving such as clothes , toothbrush , deodorant , ect and you got ready to see where your father was.

As you were finishing up with everything you heard a soft knock on your door. You announced your presence by saying 'come in' and you soon heard the soft tap of footsteps come closer and you looked up to see graves. He wore casual clothing, a pear of blue jeans , a white shirt that fit him snuggly along with brown timberlands and he held a duffel bag that most likely held all his gear and clothes that he was going to bring home with him.
"Ready to head on and get to the airport ?"
Graves gave a soft smile and you nodded.
"Must be your first time going to be on a plane huh?"
You nodded.

You never really been on a plane ,Mostly just seen them passing over in the sky  but you've never really been in one. You figured it would be like a helicopter ride just a bit more comfortable since both were aircraft's just used for different purposes but the main thing was to transport.
You felt you mind run with so many thoughts as each passing minute you were getting closer to home. Graves saw the look in your face and he could see that your thoughts were going off in your head like gears in a machine. He walked over to you and he patted your shoulder.

"C,mon kiddo we got a plane to catch."
He says and you quickly put your bag on your back and gave him a smirk but before anything else could happen one of the medics knocked on your door announcing there presence as the walked in , there boots tapping against the hard tiled floor. It was one of the female medics. She had her brown hair up in a bun and wore the standard military uniform, her skin pale and her lips pink. Her eyes scanned over you and you titled your head confused and you looked at graves. Graves face contorted into one of a stern one and he turned to face the medic. The medic stood straight and at attention as she waited for full attention.

"Sir both you and your ward are needed in the breifing room , it's urgent." The medic informed and graves brows furrowed. "Thank you for informing me private I will get on it." Graves nodded and he looked at you before setting his bag down on your medical bed. You did the same as he did and you looked at him with a puzzled expression as you didn't understand what was so urgent at the moment. You understood that this was the miltary and danger was all over and there was always a potential threat but what could be so urgent now ?.

"What's happening?"
You say confused as you followed graves who started to walked out of the medical room and into the busy hallway that was filled with other working medics that were in medbay as they had jobs to tend to the other wounded soldiers and patients. Graves let off a deep sigh as he looked down at you for a moment before he picked up the pace as he walked , keeping his gaze then straight ahead and you followed behind him as you tried to keep out of the way of the medics that worked. For a moment you didn't know what was happening. You didn't know what could be happening but you knew for a damn fact that not for one moment was it good.

For another few minutes your stood making your way through the hallways and through base and then you had finally made your way to the breifing to see a woman. It was laswell. She had a stoic look on her face , the look of a very serious woman and you knew she meant business today as she has usually been a tad bit laid back.

One meant business and you sure there lurked a foe but for now you stood waiting which felt like death row.
