MCSM One Shots (2018-2019)

Irreplaceable

You'll need to read "Flames" from my one shot challenge book in order to understand what's going on here.

It was chaos, everybody pushing about and shoving each other. Reporters wanted details of what had happened, photographers wanted images of the victims.

Usually Jesse would be there to calm down her citizens, keeping things in order. But for tonight, Radar had to do. He tried raising his small voice to get attention, but nobody bothered to even look in his direction. Luckily with the help of a few other friends of the Order, such as Stampy, Stacy and Nell, they were able to keep the crowd away from the ambulances.

"Do you know if they're OK?" Nell asked as they were finally able to rest.

"Was anybody severely hurt?" Stampy added anxiously.

Radar shook his head as he leaned against a lamppost, catching his breath.

"I'm not sure." He admitted. "I only managed to get little pieces of the story. Jesse was stuck inside the building by the sound of things, Petra went back in find her."

"And?" The other three asked in unison, they're faces filled with anticipation.

"They're both being rushed to hospital last I heard." Radar announced, his voice grim. They all inhaled sharply.

"Petra's stable, they just want to give her a proper check-up to be sure. It's Jesse I'm worried about."

--------------------

Jesse wasn't sure what was happening around her any more. She remembered vaguely looking over at the heartbreaking sight of their home. Part of the roof collapsing, clouds of smoke rising up into the dark night sky. She remembered the flames, visible through just about every window, sizzling and cracking.

She vaguely remembered getting an injection, and hearing something about "hospital". After that, everything was a blur.

When Jesse properly came to again, she was in an unfamiliar place. She woke up in a bed, her head resting on a soft pillow. Her throat felt dry, and there was a dull pain pulsing through her forehead. The corners of her vision were slightly fuzzy, and the light stung her eyes. With every breath she took, it felt like someone was impaling a knife into her chest.

Jesse became aware of the fact that she was wearing thin, white clothing. Her right arm was bandaged tightly, and she was unable to move her left foot.

Jesse turned her head slightly to look around her, letting out a soft moan as the movement increased the throbbing in her head.

"Jesse?" A voice asked instantly, a figure stepping up to her side.

Jesse felt a warm hand clasp around hers, as she looked up towards the owner of the voice.

"You're awake." Olivia said, smiling down at her.

"What happen-" Jesse started, before her words were cut off by a cough.

"Here." Olivia said quickly, helping Jesse sit upright and giving her a glass of water.

Jesse drank it thirstily, feeling relieved as the cool liquid made it's way down her dry throat.

"What happened?" She repeated once she had finished, looking over at Olivia. "Where am I?"

Olivia looked exhausted as well, wearing a slightly over-sized jacket on top of what appeared to be her sleepwear. Her black hair was loose and uncombed.
