Cara Dune

Prompt: You are Cara's wife, the two of you are inseparable and she's very protective of you, on one of your "outings" you get injured while fighting off a group of evil scavengers and she will do anything to get you back

Your POV:
It was a day like any other Cara and I woke the minute the sun was up and got ready for another one of our "outings" as I like to call them.  Today we were going to a small town on Tattoine to collect some money, we board our little cruiser and head off.  "How much does this guy owe us exactly?"  I ask, "enough to warrant a visit and a rough one at that if need be," Cara says, she's always been more of the punch first ask questions later kind of gal where I like to give people a chance, I guess that's why we work so well together.

Finally we arrived and end up having to actually take our small cruiser and actually ride there instead of just flying in the ship, we head into what I know to be Tuscan Raider territory, luckily I speak Tuscan raider so it's really nothing to worry about, I worry more about the rogue scavengers that are sometimes out here.  We continue on for a bit when all of the sudden rocks start falling from overhead, as if someone had pushed them off.  Due to this, unfortunately, the cruiser is hit and the two of us fly off of it.  We both go for our blasters, Cara looking pissed as hell.

"Be on the look out, that was clearly a man made rock slide," Cara says, readying herself for anything.  Nothin happens for a minute when all of the sudden I'm jumped by a man in dirt colored robes, "get off me you bastard!"  I yell as I fling him to the ground, I see Cara shoot one of the other scavengers in the chest and and start brawling with another one.  Meanwhile I kick the one who jumped me until he is unconscious and shoot another one in the shoulder, Caras definitely the better shot but I can hold my own, for the most part.  I have a moment of thinking we've one when I feel a sharp pain in my shoulder, I turn around and see a scavenger with a rusty knife, it seems he has plunged it deep into my shoulder.

I try to fight him off by grabbing for the dagger but then another scavenger comes from nowhere and kicks my knees out from under me and I fall to the ground where the start to kick and punch me while looking in my pockets for anything valuable.  They only end up getting my blaster and a few portions, I don't really keep a lot on me for this exact reason.  My vision starts to go blurry but then I see Cara running towards me like a bay out of hell.

Cara's POV:

As I'm taking down scavengers I see y/n holding her own and can't help but smile and feel proud, she's not really one for violence but she can certainly dish it out when she needs to, my happiness is short lived however when I see a scavenger creep up behind her and before I can warn her he has stabbed her in the shoulder.  My heart drops, I see her try to fight him still but then get knocked to the ground, I couldn't hold in my fury any longer, I shoot the rest of the scavengers that are by me and then run as fast as my feet will carry me to my wife.

I shoot the scavenger who is currently kicking her and then take out my own blade and stab the other one in the gut, to make sure it hurts, "how's that taste, no one hurts my wife," I say as he falls to the ground, I kneel beside y/n and lean her against me and hold my hand against her wound, "stay awake ok sweetheart?  I'm gonna get you out of here," I see her simply nod tiredly and then I take the longest walk I've ever taken back to our ship, constantly patting y/n cheek to make sure she doesn't sleep.

After what feels like an eternity we finally make it back and I rush her into our sleeping pod and lay her down gently, trying not to hurt her anymore, "ok honey I'm gonna have to take your shirt off to get to your shoulder ok?"  She nods sleepily and I pull off her shirt as gently as possible and then apply a damp cloth to it to soak up the blood, I see her wince and I just run my fingers through her hair to comfort her as much as I can.  Finally I'm able to wrap it up and put her in a clean shirt and then cover her up with the blankets.  "Are you comfortable sweetheart?"  I ask as I continue to run my hand through her hair and kiss her forehead.  I see her smile up at me and nod.

"Thank you Cara," she says tiredly, "it's my job right?  Now I don't want you to leave this bed got it?  If you need anything you call me," I say smiling down at her, knowing how stubborn she is when it comes to resting when she needs to.  She nods and chuckles a bit before wincing, I frown at this and move in beside her and wrap my arms carefully around her.  "I love you y/n, don't you scare me like that again," I say and she nods and smiles and then drifts off to sleep.
