Mika's POV

I lead Malkin through doors of the practice area for the capitals, only to see Wilson in complete rage. He looked furious at me then at Malkin following. He saw my gashed up cheek and was fuming. I turned to Green and he got my message to settle Wilson down. He started skating toward Wilson and started to talk to him.

I only saw the movement of their mouths in a rapid motion and could see that Green wasn't getting to him.

I turned towards the doors leading into the hallway and went straight to the trainers office. I opened the door and told Malkin to sit down on the table. He did as he was told.

"I need you to remove your jersey so I can take a look at the injury." I said.

He looked at me and then looked to my cheek and said in his heavy Russian accent.

"You need more help, not I."

I looked at him confused when I saw the reflection of my face in the mirror behind him. I had a deep gash on my cheek extending from near the corner of my jaw and up. It looked as bad as it looked. I turned around and got a wet cloth and started wiping away the blood.

He said "you not finish, I wait."

"I will finish after I am done with you, it is my job and responsibility to help you first." I said.

"Your loyal at job, you help others first, your very nice." He said. I chuckled and started to gather the materials I needed.

All he wore was his under armour shirt and shoulder pads. I told him to take off the elbow pads also and to pull up his sleeve. I looked at his wound and got the glass out. He tensed a bit under my touch but relaxed as I was very careful not to mess up or make it worse. I finished getting the glass out, so I dressed the wound and wrapped it up for safe measure.

"Now before tomorrow's game, come find me so I can clean it up again and put a new bandage."

"Thank you....."

"Mika"

"Thank you Mika, I come tomorrow before game."

"All right see you then Malkin!"

He left and went back to his practice when I stayed to clean up the mess. As I turned around and walked towards the counter to put things in their spots, I heard someone open then close the door.

Without looking I said, "Malkin, did you hurt yourself already?"

As I turned around, the person that was standing in the closed doorway was the last person I wanted to see in this room.

Sid's POV

"I was just checking if Geno was okay?"

"Geno? Who is that?" She said.

I rolled my eyes, "Evgeni Malkin."

"Oh, he's fine" she said coldly.

"Is there anything else you need?" She said looking away from me to her counter.

As she walked to the trainers table, she set down her equipment and started to open things up. I realized all if this stuff was for her injury that I caused.

"I was actually wondering if your okay?"

She turned to me quickly with big eyes of shock. Her eyes were so brown, you could melt at the sight of them.

"Why do you care, you caused it."

"I didn't mean for you to get hurt."

"But I did."

I got annoyed at her constant negativity. I just wanted her to accept my apology.

"I actually came here to say sorry."

Once again she looked shocked then the coldness covered her face smoothly.

She responded "oh really? For what? Giving me this mark on my face or for hurting Geno?".

I got a little irritated and raised my voice, "For both!"

We stood there staring at each other not knowing who was going to say what.

"It's okay" she finally said, breaking the silence.

I was shocked to hear the acceptance of my apology. "Are you not mad at me?" I said.

"I'm just trying to figure out why you don't like me."

If only she knew the truth of how I felt.

Wilson's POV

I skated away from the team drill and Green blocked my exit.

"Tom, it's fine, she is okay, let her do her job." Green said.

"Why the hell is she hurt? And.." I was cut off by Crosby walking fast to the hallway where the trainers room was. He was going to go see if Malkin was okay. He didn't care for how badly she was hurt. I knew he hurt her.

All the anger I had was shown as I pushed Green to the ice and started to skate full speed to the box. I watched as Crosby already went indoors.

Mika's POV

I was blatantly surprised at Crosby's apology, since he didn't seem like a person to say sorry. I forgave him anyway.

I mean from his point of view I am the other teams athletic trainer and not theirs.

We waited for each other to say something when Wilson comes crashing through the door in his practice stuff in a unstoppable wave of anger. He scanned the room looking for someone, who I knew would be Crosby.

His target was locked and he marched straight for him, nothing distracting him.

He pulled up his sleeve and pinned him to the wall, lifting Crosby off the floor.

"Did you do this?!?!?" Wilson said.

"Yeah, so?" Crosby said.

Crosby just made this conversation very short. This is one of the reasons why I don't like the hockey players ego's. They think they are all high and mighty to each other and are so arrogant and cocky.

The next thing I knew, Wilson dropped Crosby to the floor, and he pulled up his other sleeve. I assumed he was going to punch him.

I got up from the trainer's table, fed up with all this nonsense and went between them to stop what was about to be happen. Since them getting hurt would reflect badly on me in the way, if they get hurt the coaches blame me for taking them out of the game.

Note to self: Never get between two hormone raged and angry hockey players that are twice your height including being on skates.

I went between Wilson and Crosby and in a second I was on the ground. I tried to open my eyes but everything was spinning. I had a large ache on the left side of my face. You know when you get hit by something and it feels a lot worse than it actually is and you don't know what's going on. Basically that was me in that moment.

I felt the ground beside me and turned so my body was facing the ceiling. I saw two large masses clouding my view as they tried to do something that I can't remember or see. The last thing I heard was, "Get 911 on the phone and get the coach" in a russian accent.
