Heroine

Disclaimer: I do not own the main characters. The male animal genitalia Dick Wolf does.

Summary: Olivia is given a limited amount of time to disarm a bomb that is located inside of a child care facility. The bomb was planted by her despised enemy and he/she confronts her while she is in a moment of distress. What happens during the aftermath; how is everyone affected?

Liv, Liv, can you hear me? LIV!

All she could hear was her name and who was calling it. The sirens, screaming, crying, and all of the other commotions were oblivious to her ears. It was that one voice that encouraged her to fight the darkness that kept creeping up on her.

Liv, Liv honey, I need you to keep your eyes open.

She fought desperately to keep her eyes open, but she failed every time with them fluttering shut. She started to cough. Then it turned into a wet cough as she started to cough up blood. Once she stopped and her erratic breathing evened out, she stopped moving.

LIV! Liv, please don't leave me. I need you, we need you. Come on wake up, the medics are on their way. I need you to stay with me.

She tried to move her head or her arms or some part of her body to give some indication that she was still alive. It seems as if her body said 'fuck you brain I'm not moving anywhere'. So, she tried an alternative and tried to moan his name. Even though her strangled moan was incoherent, it was still a sign that she was alive.

WAIT! I have to go with her! She's my partner!

Her body is carefully lifted onto a stretch board. The EMTs watch as her face contorts with pain and confusion as she is put on the stretcher and they roll her out. Then a realization hits; she doesn't hear that voice anymore. Her eyes shoot open, "Where is he?" The only word that was understandable was 'where' but the medics automatically knew who she was talking about.

Ma'am he's on his way down, he said that he left some things.

She felt helpless, she couldn't seem to move, to talk, hell she couldn't even keep her eyes open. She wracks her brain trying to figure out exactly what he went to go get. But before she could conjure an excuse for why he left, he hopped right on the ambulance. They then sped off into the direction of Mercy General Hospital.

All of a sudden the ambulance ran over a pot hole. Everyone jerked, and Olivia took a turn for the worst. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she started to have violent convulsions.

She's seizing!

Lucky for the EMT they were arriving at the hospital when her seizure started. They were practically running through the hospital with her.

We need a trauma room, and Dr. Steinfield. She has broken ribs and a punctured lung. There are lacerations on the neck, face, thigh, and calf areas. High blood pressure could have caused the seizure but we need to scan to be sure. Sir, does she have any medical conditions?

None that I know of.

Do you know her blood type?

She is type A.

Ok thank you. Does anyone know where Dr. Steinfield is? Laura! Is he in surgery? Well, it would be nice if you could find him. You could page him; you could even scream his name from the damn rooftops, JUST FIND HIM!

The medic turned her attention back to Olivia.

Okay, Ma'am can you tell me your name?

Liv. This was the only response she could give without screaming out in pain.

Okay Liv, is that short for Olivia or something?

She simply nodded her head.

Okay Olivia, you are doing good. Can you tell me what happened?

She squeezed her eyes tighter and shook her head. Then that voice came back. 'Is he even supposed to be in here' she thought.

She caught the tail end of an explosion. She was blown a few feet away from the house. You should probably check her back for bu-

There weren't any burns only scratches, and sir who let you in here?

My badge.

Well you and your badge need to step outside until we finish. Johnny! Can you come and escort this man out.

I CAN'T LEAVE HER. I NEED HER; I NEED HER HEALTHY, AND WELL. I just need her. He pleaded as his voice trailed off.

She opened her eyes and locked with his. Silently telling him it's okay to go; she'll be fine. Their mental conversation was broken when Johnny took him out of the room; which he reluctantly left.

The moments after he left were a blur to her. Everyone in there was doing various things. One nurse was cleaning her cuts, while another was injecting fluids to get her blood pressure down. All Olivia could think about was that one person who put her here. Her heartbeat rose quickly, but she didn't try to calm her anger, anxiety, hostility; she simply let that dark void that has been haunting her take over.

She's coding!

This was the last thing she heard for a while.

0.0 |0-0| 0-o |0.o

The surgery lasted all of three hours, and to stitch all of her deep cuts it took about an hour and a half. They moved her into the recovery room. The anesthetic was supposed to be wearing off.

Olivia, Olivia honey it's about time to wake up

That voice seemed to be so distant, so far away, but she was standing right there; Olivia could sense it.

Okay, I'm going to go and get that gentleman that has been waiting for you.

Her senses heightened, waiting for him to walk through the door.

Hey Liv, I know you may or may not be able to hear me, but I'm glad that you are ok. I almost lost you.

'I think I want to see him spill his guts' she thought. Her heartbeat increased as she felt his lay his head on her stomach. He clearly heard the machine beep faster.

Liv, I know you're up, just open your eyes.

Her well known stubbornness kicked in when she didn't even move a muscle. It began hard to do when he took her hand and kissed her palm. He turned her hand over and kissed that side. He slowly moved upwards and caught her when she let out a moan disguised as a breath. She slowly opened her heavy eyes.

There go those gorgeous eyes.

She blushed a slight red color and smiled. She decided might as well thank her welcomed guest.

Hey thanks for coming -

Yeah I am keeping the mystery man a mystery until the next chapter. (Sorry it's kinda short, but this is as long as it's going to get without his name.)
