Sick Day

My sisters and I have been stuck at home the past few days with sore throats. Might as well put this experience to good use :)

"Ah-CHOO!"

The sound shocked Connor's sensitive ears, causing him to tumble out of bed.

"M'gann?" He asked, fumbling with the code for her bedroom door. 

It slid open, casting a rectangle of light across her otherwise dark bedroom floor. M'gann was gingerly sitting up in her bed, reaching out her hand to reach the tissue box, just beyond her reach.

"H-hey, Connor." She smiled at him weakly. Her telepathy wasn't complying, so Connor hurried over to her bed and handed her the tissue box.

"What's wrong, M'gann? Why are you sneezing?"

M'gann coughed, wincing and rubbing her throat. "I think I caught what Marvin had." She moaned quietly.

"I thought Martian's couldn't get sick?" 

M'gann took another tissue, rubbing her red nose. "I'm not invincible like you are." She reminded her super-boyfriend.

Connor gingerly kissed her forehead before plumping up her pillows and helping her lean back comfortably into them. "Stay here, I'll go get Black Canary." 

Dinah rushed to M'gann's bedroom with a thermometer, and by the look in her eyes, the temperature wasn't good for a Martian. She called Martian Manhunter, who immediately teleported to the mountain with a crate full of various medicines that Connor should give to M'gann at various intervals. 

"How are you feeling?" Connor asked her after the initial excitement had worn off. He'd dragged her desk chair over to her bed so that he could sit next to her, and Wolf sat next to the chair, resting his head on M'gann's bed.

"Hot." M'gann mumbled, beads of sweat dripping down her face.

"Come here." Connor tore off her sheets and lifted her into his arms. She smelled like cherry cough medicine, with a hint of chocolate from the cookies she'd made last night. He sat on her bed with her in his lap and turned on her TV. Wolf took the "Hello Megan" theme song as an invitation to jump up on the bed too. He licked both of their faces before curling up to sleep around Connor's feet.

In this episode, Connor was throwing Megan a surprise party, and all her friends were trying to keep her distracted until the party started. Even though she'd seen it dozens of times before, and despite being sick, M'gann laughed in all the right places, making Connor smile. And by the time the episode had finished, M'gann was sound asleep.

Connor kissed her forehead, pleased to see that her fever had broken.

"Sweet dreams, M'gann."

YES IT'S SHORT BUT I HOPE IT'S CUTE
