The Medic

Whole new perspective

König tried to catch her but Ghost was quicker.
He couldn't have hold her anyways.
His arms felt weak.

This information and this evening had changed so much in his head.
He finally understood why she was so angry.
And it was understandable.
She had been good on that mission.
And that kiss.
He couldn't stop thinking about it.

He saw her in a whole new light.
This woman had done something to him he couldn't explain.

And now he couldn't even help her.
He watched how ghost lifted her up in his arms.
He felt helpless and useless.
She had just saved his life.
And had opened up to them.

Considering what she all had went through he was so surprised.
She was always so friendly and supportive.
Even though they had treated her very bad the past years.
And she stayed this friendly even with this backstory.
This woman was a riddle to him.

Ghost sat down in one of the seats and placed her in his lap.
Soap gentle shook her.

„Mel. Mel wake up"

She looked bad.
She was even paler than usual, her lip was busted and she had a bruise on her left side.
Her legs were covered in scratches and cuts from the bushes.
And her feet were even worse.
They were bloody.
How had she been able to stand the whole time and pull out that bullet?
She must have been full of adrenaline.

She moved slightly and blinked.
Her eyes fell on Ghost and her face shifted into pure panic.
She jumped out of his arms and instantly fell to the ground.
She crawled away from him and screamed.
The terror in her eyes hurted König deep.

She was like a trapped animal.
Ghost flinched and quickly pulled off his mask.

„Mel it's me! It's me!"

he said holding up his hands.
She was panting and pressing herself against the wall of the van.

„Mel it's ok it's us"

Soap said crowching down to her.

„Maus. Maus look at me"

König said loud. 
Her eyes shot in his direction and she blinked.

It was like veil was pulled off of her.
She relaxed a bit and began to shake.
Soap instantly pulled her towards him and wrapped his arms around her.

„It's ok. It's ok."

She tried to get up but Soap stopped her.

„no no no you can't stand you're injured"

he lifted her up.
She groaned.

„No Soap let me down"

„Eh no definitely not! I learned from a damn good medic that you shouldn't move with such injury's"

he scolded her and sat her down in the seat next to König.
He looked down on her.
She really looked exhausted.

„Do you have the stick?"

Ghost asked kneeling in front of her.

„Mhm"

„Where?"

She blinked.

„Mel. Come on concentrate. Where?"

She groaned and reached in her cleavage.
König and Ghost looked away in the same second.
Ghost slapped Soaps head as he saw that Soap hadn't looked away.

„Here"

she mumbled and held out the USB stick.

„Amazing. Ok let's head back."

He hit the wall of the van as a sign for Gaz to drive.

Mel leaned back in her seat and her head fell back.
She was way to weak.
König wrapped his arm around her so she could rest her head on his not injured shoulder.
She slightly looked up and smiled.

„Since when so nice?"

she muttered.

„Only for my wife remember?"

he laughed slightly and held up his hand with the ring.
She rolled her eyes but said nothing more.
She closed her eyes.
She almost looked peacefull.

He didn't knew why but he couldn't keep his eyes off of her.
He suddenly noticed things about her he had never noticed before.

Her naturaly pale skin.
The slight acne scars on her cheeks.
The few freckles on the bridge of her nose.
How her hair fell in her face.
For a moment he wished she would look at him.
So he could see her deep gunmetal blue eyes.
He tucked a lose strand of hair behind her ear.

He was pulled out of his trance by a chuckling Ghost. He glared over.
Soap and Ghost had the biggest grins in history on their faces.

„What's with you idiots?"

König muttered.

„Only for my wife"

Soap mocked him.
König rolled his eyes.

„Jealous?"

he spat back.

„Very much. But what happened?
Since when do YOU care that much?"

„Because she litteraly saved my life you idiot"

König growled.

„Seriously König what happened?"

König explained the whole evening.
Except for the kiss.
It kind of felt like a thing between the two of them. Something personal.

As soon as they arrived at the base Ghost picked up Mel.
She had slept almost the whole car ride.
She blinked slightly.

„I can walk"

she said weak.

„No you can't. And you won't"

Ghost said stern and gripped her even tighter.

The nursed shot all of them angry looks as they saw who they brought in.
König wasn't really happy about the fact that now someone else would take care of him.

It had always been Mel that took care of him.
Ever since they were integrated into that base.

And now it would be someone else.
He somehow felt guilty even though it wasn't his fault. If only she would have let him carry her.

But of course she was right.
As always.

The nurse that took a look at his wound made big eyes.

„Wow that's good. I only have to clean it a bit and get some new bandages."

„It was done by one of the best"

he grinned.

„Ah yes you were with Mel right?"

She gave him a scanning look and smiled.

„how is she?"

he muttered through the stinging pain of the desinfectant.

„Oh she will be fine. She's tough"

König nodded.

But he knew as soon as he would get the chance to go he would go and look after her.
He needed to make sure she was ok himself.
