He woke up suddenly panting and stared at the roof of a collapsing, small, private jet. He sat up slowly, wincing at the violent pain coming from his right shoulder and fore arm. He knew from the pain that he'd broke his fore arm but as he reached for his shoulder, he felt the sharp metal which had found its way into him. He cried out as he pulled the metal out from him, choking on his gasps for clean air. The pain was overwhelming as he finally released the metal which clawed him. Catching his breath, he looked over to the seat next to him only to find a bloodied partner of his. "Danny!" Steve called before wincing again. Checking around he saw four other bodies, bloodied and battered, maybe even dead? "Chin! Kono! Adam!" He tried desperately to catch the attention of one of his friends before peering to the final body. 'Dead...' he claimed in his mind seeing the stab wound through the woman's chest.
He held his right arm close, working through the pain as he struggled to undo his seat belt to move. "Danny. Hey Danno! Rise and shine." McGarrett told his best friend as he tried for a pulse. His heart stopped until he felt the gentle pump from his pulse. Sighing with relief, he tapped and held his friends face, avoiding the slightly worrying cut above his right eye. "Come on Danno." He ordered before seeing the slight flutter appear.
Danny opened his eyes slowly and stared as Steve as his winced with a pain coming from his left leg. "Steve?" he looked back up to his partner who was full of concern and yet relief.
"Yeah Danno, just rest still for a moment okay? I'm going to go check on everyone else." The ex-SEAL explained as he stood.
As Steve turned, Danny had already began to fight the jammed seatbelt he was buckled down by though the tight, sour pain in his leg was distracting him and making him crumble. Williams looked to where Steve was heading only to see Kono and Adam's hidden faces collapsed next to each other and the back of Chin's head in front of them. Fear flooded him when his memories caught up to him. The plane, it crashed. He then jumped to look out the smashed window only to discover the blood stained seat next to him where his partner had been sitting. In horror, Danny looked slowly back to Steve who was now by Adam, trying to grasp both his and Kono's attention. He saw the drenched shoulder. Staring he knew he had to move and help his friend out but his damned leg! It was causing such severe pain but at least he wasn't bleeding like his Super SEAL partner. Danny frowned as he pulled hard at his caught buckle. The more he pulled the more he felt it loosening.
As Danno freed himself, Steve awoke Adam who's condition looked best. "Hey Adam, you okay?" McGarrett hoped as he easily clicked his seatbelt undone. Something felt uneasy suddenly, but Steve chose to ignore it.
Adam nodded as he looked at the injured man "What happened?" He asked in shock. "The plane crashed... listen, Kono, try to wake her up but avoid her right wrist and left knee as much as possible, the injuries there look worst." He explained gesturing to his rookie friend.
Adam stared breathless at his battered girlfriend. "Alright, yeah, I'll wake her." He nodded a few times as concern took over his face. Adam then faced Kono who was asleep by her, her breathing good but not completely normal. He cupped her face with warm, large hands and begged her to open her eyes. "Come on Kono, it's time to get up."
McGarrett knelt by Chin only to discover him already partially awake. "Come on Chin, wake up." He ordered with worry melting his voice. He tapped his face gently and scanned his body. 'There is a nasty cut in his lower leg but nothing to threaten his life. He has a slight concussion, as could Danny but nothing seems to bad.' Steve thought to himself.
Chin groaned as he woke up to the overcoming pain that filled his leg and his pounding head didn't help. He opened his eyes, awake. "Hey there McGarrett." He said tiredly. Steve had undone his seatbelt and offered him a hand, which Chin gratefully accepted, and got up.
The uneasiness from earlier seemed to come back heavier as he felt a sudden unsteadiness come from the plane. "Everyone stay still." McGarrett ordered. Chin did as he was told, as did Adam and a tired Kono. Williams looked to McGarrett confused but obeyed the order.
Slowly, McGarrett looked out the nearest smashed window and the horror he assumed was true. They were caught up high in dying branches, thick and thin. "We need to get out of the plane." He announced "We'll need to climb." McGarrett used a broken metal pole to break the lock on the plane door. Wind flew into the plane immediately, blowing everyone back slightly.
"And how do you expect us to do that, Super SEAL?!" Danny called angrily as he yanked at the seatbelt and got himself out, shooting himself up at an angle. "If you hadn't noticed, we're all pretty banged up! Even you!"
Steve glared as he looked at how far the climb would be. Danny had a point, the climb down would be hard for him despite his training. There were too many trees to use a parachute without getting caught in the air. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head as a grin appeared on his serious face. Danny jumped with slight fear as he saw the smirk "Oh no no no no no. What - why are you pulling that face Steven? You come up with another one of your sinister plans?!" Danny yelled angered.
Steve smiled "Maybe... but I don't see another option."
