Wounded

II

VENUS

Stumbling to the infirmary you go towards the back where the operating rooms are and find X2 waiting with the supreme leader.

"Good job X2," you say to your droid

"You're hurt."

"Just a bit X2 I'm fine." You take the sheet off the supreme leader's body to find the bacta shot working, him bleeding just a little less, in an hour the bleeding will stop leaving you with just the wound to take care of. But he can still suffer from internal bleeding if not treated.

"Supreme leader I'm going to need to take off your helmet to ensure that you're not bleeding internally."

No response.

"Supreme leader are you conscious?"

He hummed in response.

"Why is this is complicated?" you thought. Getting real irritated with how the supreme leader was acting  you go in the cabinet grabbing a syringe and a vial approaching the stretcher again.

"Supreme leader," you say as you draw back the serum in the syringe "if you continue to resist the help I'm providing them I'm going to have to treat you as a patient that does not want to be helped. So I can either take off your helmet while you are awake or I can drug you and take it off you while you are unconscious." You say quite forcefully "So which will it be?" As you raise the syringe.

He flicked his hand and with that, the syringe flew out of your hand on to the floor breaking.

"Very well then," you say still trying to comprehend what just happened you  knew he was very strong with the force but seeing it in front of you, happening to you was another thing.

He raised his hands and unlatched his helmet hearing the gears shifting and dropped it on the floor. To be honest you didn't really care about what he looked like under you just knew that you had a job to do. So when you first looked at his face you were taken aback well first, because of the fact that he was bleeding from his mouth and his ears showing that you were definitely right about the internal bleeding. But you hadn't expected for the supreme leader to be so attractive. His hair dark which contrasted with his pale skin a strong nose and lips that looked like he was permanently pouting, big brown eyes that were staring right into your eyes, eyebrows furrowed in pain and possible hostility towards you. You broke the eye contact but felt his eyes burning at the side of your head.

Clearing your throat you positioned the stretcher to be parallel with the operation table.

"My apologies again supreme leader I have to move you one more time." as you dragged his body to the table he grimaced.

You grabbed ran to the storage a grabbed everything you need an IV drip, complexes, and compounds. Then you headed to the fridge where you kept extra blood and frozen plasma. You were gone for 1 minute at least to find the supreme leader trying to sit up.

"No! Supreme leader, you are going to irritate your wound. Please lay back down." you say trying to gently push him back. Him, not budging he looked into your eyes and you immediately felt so small. You averted your gaze. "Please lay back."

And he did you hooked up his IV "This is going to help the blood clot so your body can stop bleeding internally. And once it stopped bleeding I can locate the source of the hemorrhage and stop it manually." realizing that he really didn't need all that information you just stayed quiet as you finished poking him with the IV needle.

While you were hovering over him working on the wound on his stomach you felt the sweat on your forehead gathering despite it being rather cool in the infirmary you felt a drop fall and you watched it as landed on his exposed stomach. The sweat droplet splashed bright red against his skin, blood. Your hand went to your scalp trying to find the wound. A pretty big gash on the left side of your head, your hair damp with blood, and your white coat stained red not noticing it before that moment.

"Shit. X2 can you please continue cleaning the wound on the supreme leader's abdomen I'm going to bandage my head real quick."

X2 beeped in confirmation and rolled over to the supreme leader but another voice stopped you both.

"No."

You turned to your patient. You only heard him talk once with his helmet on but his voice was completely different

"The droid is not coming near me."

"But sir I can not help you if I am hurt myself. Let me quickly bandage myself while X2 works on-"

"No. I'd just rather wait on you."

"Supreme leader i insi-"

"No."

Is he seriously arguing with me while he is currently bleeding out on my operating table.

"Yes, I'm serious hurry up and clean your wound so you can start in mine."

Your eyes grew wide he had heard your thoughts you need to stop thinking, oh my maker did he hear you say that he was handsome? He looked at you again. Did he hear it for a second time?

You turned to the mirror in the operating room your face was bright red. Partly from the blood dripping on your whole left side and from being eavesdropped by the supreme leader. You parted your hair to see the gash X2 beeped at you feet holding bacta spray

"Thank you X2." you sprayed it and left it to air dry in about 30 minutes it will stop bleeding and healed itself. Realizing you know have to go back to tend to the supreme leader you cleared your mind only thinking of his injury, nothing else.

You approached the table his eyes never left you as you worked. You both didn't speak and almost forgot you were working on the supreme leader until you hear a very familiar voice shouting in the infirmary.

"Where is he? Where is Ren?" a certain redheaded general said

The supreme leader rolled his eyes and you had a small smile on your face you and General Hux had some history together but you both have never told a soul.

You were bandaging the supreme leader's torso when General Hux stormed in.

"And you who do you think you are taking the supreme leader in your incompetent hands?"

You raised an eyebrow "As far as I'm concerned I saved your life with these incompetent hands had I not?"

"Oh, Venus." He said his voice turning softer and his face growing red. Then he turned to the supreme leader and his face hardened "Are you aware that this is the supreme leader"

"Ummm he's kind of hard to miss, no?"

"Then why are you working on him?"

"Because he was dying and there wasn't time to call one of the First Order certified doctors. If I hadn't done what I've done he would've been dead on that battlefield and you would've been short a supreme leader... no offense, of course, supreme leader I'm sure you would've figured something out." you blushed realizing you're not allowed to overstep General Hux when people are around especially with the supreme leader.

"Now with that being said the supreme leader is to stay here at least overnight so the IV can work and so his blood can clot. But as of right now he is to rest with no distractions or talk of war so if you can kindly leave General. I will give you a brief rundown of his injuries later." just a glint of humor in your eyes.

"Alright I will leave but the Knights of Ren are also looking for their master and they are not as nice as I am."

You looked at the supreme leader who was trying to fight off the drowsiness from the IV.

"Actually General if I can speak to you outside that would be great."

"Well of course."
