Returned Home (Piers Nivans x reader) Pt9.

Dec 20th: second freezing session-
Chris left after the session, said he wanted to give us some time to ourselves, but we ended up falling asleep....Then, around 3am....My cell phone rang. The caller ID showed Chris' picture and number. Something's up, he never calls this late, not even to check in on piers.

(Y/N): "Hey, Chris, Whats wrong?"

Chris: "We need you. The strain that Piers was infected with? There's been another release. We need a sniper."

(Y/N): "Chris, I can't."

Chris: "We don't have a choice! Ada killed so many of my men that we STILL have empty spots on alpha team! And we need a sniper, (Y/N)."
I managed to slip out of bed without waking Piers.

Chris "Please. You know I wouldn't ask you if i thought we could pull through without you. But we can't. I can send your sister to be with him, he wouldn't be alone."
I leaned my back against the wall and slid down, bringing my knees to my chest.

Chris: "(Y/N)?"

(Y/N): "I'm still here."
I closed my eyes, not even noticing that Piers woke up and was sitting on the edge of the bed.

(Y/N): "I don't have much of a choice, do I?"

Chris: "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

(Y/N): "Alright...Count me in. SHIT, how am I gonna explain this to Piers?"

Chris: "I'm on my way to the hospital now, I'll help as much as I can."

(Y/N): "Thanks. I'll see you when you get here."
I hung up and looked up, flinching when I saw Piers looking at me.

Piers: "You have to go back, don't you?"

(Y/N): "Piers, I'm sorry. There was another release of the virus. The same one you were infected with. Alpha team is still a few recruits short, and they need a sniper. I'm all they've got."

Piers: "I know. But I'll be damned if you think you're going alone."

(Y/N): "What are you talking about?"
Piers reached over and pressed the 'call' button, and few seconds later a nurse walked in.

Nurse: "Is there something you need?"

Piers: "Can you find Dr. Leena? I need to talk to her."

I furrowed my brow, confused, as she left the room.

(Y/N): "Why do you need Emma?"

Piers: "Hang on, I just need to talk to her for a second."
We waited a few minutes until Emma came in.

Emma: "You needed something?"

Piers: "How soon can we start the next freezing treatment?"

(Y/N): "Piers, you can't, it's too soon."

Emma: "Actually, we can do a single session for up to 12 hours. The first time we were able to remove 8 shards in 6 hours, this last time we removed 6. Depending on how long you think you can handle it, we might be able to double those numbers. And if you're worried about spacing them out, you'd only need to wait an hour between."

Piers: "Then let's get goin'."

(Y/N): "Piers, this is crazy. No one even knows if your arm is still alive under there. Emma, you can't seriously be OK with this."

Emma: "If he's comfortable and absolutely certain, we can move forward."

(Y/N): "And Chris and I have NO say in any of this?"

Emma: "As soon as Piers woke up, he acquired finalization. After that, the patient has final say over everything."
I took a deep sigh and looked at him, right in his eyes.

(Y/N): "I can't stop you can I?"

Piers: "I'm not letting you go back alone. Arm or no arm, I'm still gonna be there for you."
