Bonds And Love(Rivchet)

Scare In The Med Center

It was around one in the afternoon when Rivet woke up and at first she didn't remember where she was though as her mind woke up more she relized she was in the medical center. As soon as she realized this she looked to the opposite of her bed and was relieved to see that ratchet was with her too though he was still asleep. As she looked upon Ratchet she could see he had a brace on which she relized was to keep his spine aligned so it could heal.

Seeing Ratchet's brace served as a reminder for her own injury as they had made a cover for her arm connection ports for the time being to keep debris and dust out while her shoulder recovered as a few muscles in it had been torn slightly when she had caught Ratchet.

On a different note now that Ratchet was out of any form of armor and was wearing shorts and a tank top Rivet could see just how littered Ratchet's entire body was with various scars. Seeing the sheer amount of scars sent a jolt of pain through rivet's heart especially when she remembered what Clank had told her about the one that was right over ratchet's heart had actually killed him in another timeline but, due to clank breaking the one rule set for his home which was apparently called the great clock.

From what Rivet had gathered Clank had gone back three minutes to shove ratchet out of the way which effectively created an entirely new timeline for ratchet and it seems orvus saved my dad for his sacrifice to make things right which effectively changed his fate as well for the present they both shared in now. The two were linked in a way that she couldn't fully understand though they both seemed happier despite the nightmares that plague them multiple times in a month.

*Rivet's P.O.V*

As I thought on this fact I didn't realize ratchet was stirring though when I looked to him he was clawing at the bed as he started quietly growling which alerted me immediately that he was stuck in another nightmare. Despite knowing what happened last time I knew I needed to try to wake him before he hurt himself however when I tried to do so all I heard was jogging of heavy military boots which was followed by smaller metallic ones before a white and red stripped arm blocked me from getting close.

I knew without even following the path of the arm that it was my father and right behind him were clank and Kit. Clank had went to help my dad with waking and calming Ratchet while Kit told me to back up as gentle as she could in her quiet voice and placed her hand on my leg. This of course confused me one because how did they know so quickly that ratchet was having a nightmare and two despite ratchet attacking my arm last time I wanted to help them with calming him but, In mere seconds I understood why they didn't want me too close.

It was not even five seconds before ratchet was up on his feet and despite him being half awake he was already low to the ground in what could be described as a melee strike position. He soon went reaching for his wrench likely to attack the invisible enemy only he could see though in this situation I was thankful the doctors had stored it away for the time being so he wasn't able to hurt anyone as he looked outright feral currently. His fur was bristled and his tail flicked around knocking over the plastic cup on the table by his bed as well as the chair which was pushed several inches away by his lashing tail.

Clank was the first to move and had gone to ratchet's ear rubbing a certain spot which seemed to work in moments as ratchet's fur flattened out as he seemed to be becoming more aware of his surroundings and Alister rubbed between ratchet's shoulder blades which caused ratchet's posture to relax. Only then did kit move out of the way when given a thumbs up by clank to allow me to go forward to catch ratchet as he fell forward. It was very likely his entire body probably felt like jelly right now and would need support for a bit however it made me realize that clank and my dad must of used known pressure points to get ratchet to calm down as quickly as he did though in my mind I couldn't help asking the questions "how many times has this happened for the two to both know just what to do to calm him down that I don't know about" And also "what was his nightmare about to cause this sort of reaction?"

I hoped these questions would be answered soon but, for now I simply focused on keeping ratchet comfortable until he regained control of his body.
