The Mute Warrior [James Cameron's Avatar Reader Insert]

Chapter Six

(Y/n) gasped in pain, eyes wide as the link chamber slid out of its slot and opened. She sat up and began scratching at her throat, gasping for breath, as Cleo Uley rushed over to her from the monitor over.

"(Y/n), what happened? What's wrong?" She asked, looking her over, gently putting her hand on the girl's back. (Y/n) winced in pain as she arched her back away from Cleo's hand. Cleo stared at the girl worriedly.

"(Y/n), calm down. What happened?" She moved herself to where she was right in front of her. (Y/n)'s eyes were unfocused and her breathing ragged. Her entire body was shaking, paler than it's natural (s/t) tone. (Y/n) made a move to get up and Cleo moved back to give her some space. As soon as (Y/n) stood, she almost collapsed into Cleo. She was going through a shock of sorts.

Cleo looked around before laying (Y/n) back onto the link chamber. "Someone get the medical team! She's going into shock!" Cleo shouted to the scientist nearest to her and they ran off as Cloe began to start the medical procedures for shock. Not long after that, a commotion began and people began to make way as a group of six people (men and women) wearing white suits rushed in carrying a stretcher. They got to the link chamber before they picked (Y/n) up and fastened her so she wouldn't slip before they began running back to the medical bay. Two stayed behind and turned to Cloe.

"Do you know what happened here?" One asked as the other had a clipboard and a pen. Cleo shook her head.

"I don't know. She was in her link chamber perfectly fine before it suddenly started to slide out of position and opened. It was when I heard the gasping for air that I rushed over and realized something was wrong." Cleo stated as she looked at the direction where (Y/n) was being carried.

It wasn't long before Lynna ran into the area. "What's going on? What happened?" She asked before she looked at the link chamber. "This is (Y/n)'s link chamber. Did something happen to her?" She looked at one of the medics.

"She went into shock. She's currently getting help in the med bay." They stated before looking over to Lynna. "Were you (Y/n)'s assistant?" They asked and Lynna nodded. "Did anything seem to stress her out or anything before you left?" Lynna shook her head.

"No, everything was perfectly normal." The medic with the clipboard was writing away and looked up after they finished and clicked their pen.

"She should be out in an hour or so. She might have to spend the day off tomorrow, but that won't be up to us. She has to make that choice herself." They stated before nodding a goodbye and leaving, the other following behind them.

Lynna and Cleo stood there, staring in the direction they walked off to before looking at each other and, knowing they had nothing else they could do, went to their work- Cleo back to monitoring the link chamber she was at earlier and Lynna going to finish her lunch break.

~One Hour Later~

~(Y/n)'s P.O.V~

I awoke to the soft beeping of a monitor behind me. My eyes were heavy and my throat was dry. I opened my eyes and was blinded by a light above me. I sat up before looking at my surroundings. I was in the med bay. I've only been here once before and that was when I was younger, around five or so, when I had fallen out of a tree while out with my parents and landed on my arm.

I look down at my arms and see tubes connecting me to a machine that had my blood pressure and heart rate. The sound of a door sliding opened could be heard and I look over to the door to see one of the medics there, a clipboard in hand.

"Hello, (Y/n). Do you know why you're here?" She asked kindly and I rack my brain but everything was either mush or a blur, so I shook my head. "Well, you were undergoing shock." They stated and I began to wonder why. "Do you know what happened before you came back to us?" She asked and again I shook my head. They look down at their board and began to write.
