Cuts and Bruises…. Chapter 1
Sorry, that I did not write a story sooner but I am in the middle of my exams so they kind of take A lot of my time, but anyway, enough of my excuses, this story was prompted to me by Salkri Kachemench:
An explosion knocks the whole team unconscious, resulting in various injuries and lots of hurt/comfort.
I thought we could do with some nice fluff, after the heart-breaking Final episode of the series so enjoy…
No-one knew where it came from, one minute they where stood around the command centre, the next an explosion shook the BUS violently, causing them all to fall various ways around the room. It took them all by surprise; sending Fitz and Ward into the glass behind them, Simmons hit the wall, May slammed into the table, Skye fell and hit the floor and Coulson collided with the screen behind him. The various falls caused the whole team to lose a few minutes due to being knocked unconscious.
The first to awaken was May, having not hit the table with too much force, she estimated she had been out for around 2 minutes and other than a throbbing head ache, she was fine.
Coulson was her next thought, May ran over to where Coulson lay and checked for a pulse, when she found it, she let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding and physically relaxed slightly. She then went round to check on the others, as she finally checked Skye for a pulse, glad everyone was still alive, She heard a groan from Simmons and moved back towards Coulson
What happened? Simmons asked, not mentioning that May now sat with Coulson's head in her lap,
An explosion, I don't know where it came from or who was behind it… May explained,
Oh, wait, Fitz? Simmons looked around frantically, as soon as she spotted him, she slowly crawled over to him, and sucked in a breath when she saw the glass surrounding him,
They are all breathing, I checked, I think Fitz may have some minor bruising and I am worried about the position Skye is currently in May explained, And you don't look to good either,
I have a twisted wrist and a small headache, nothing major. Simmons shrugged,
Wha… Ward mumbled as he awoke, he tried to sit up and groaned in pain,
Wait, don't move, let me see Simmons gently examined Ward before concluding that he needed stitching on a gash on his back and a gash on his forehead, but that was too be expected when he went through glass.
I need medical equipment; I will be back in a minute Simmons carefully stood up and used the wall to manoeuvre herself down to the lab,
So, didn't expect this, Ward indicated towards Coulson, who was still resting in May's lap,
Say anymore and I will give you another injury for your current collection, May glared at Ward before glancing down to Coulson who was beginning to move,
Melinda? Coulson whispered hesitantly,
Hey Phil, May smiled,
You okay?
I should be the one worrying about you, you have been out for about 10 minutes, May informed Coulson, I am fine, Simmons is down in the lab, Fitz and Skye are still unconscious, and if Ward keeps staring like he is, he wont be conscious any longer,
Coulson attempted to laugh but ended up groaning in pain as Ward glanced away and looked at Skye, at that moment, Simmons walked back in with her medical equipment and moved towards Ward,
Good to see you awake Sir, Simmons smiled, Try not to move, I will come over and check you once I sort out Ward's injuries as he is currently bleeding over your carpet. Simmons tried to lighten the mood, though she was worried about Fitz, he should have woken by now.
He won't be moving far, May planned on keeping Coulson close til he had been given the a check over, as going by the look on his face, he had some internal injuries.
For a few minutes there was a comfortable silence, as Simmons stitched Wards cuts and May sat stroking Coulson's hair as he smiled up at her, Ward couldn't help but think there was something more between them than they let on and he would definitely not be getting between them. As soon as Simmons had finished, she moved over to check on Coulson, as Ward gently moved over to his Rookie, he was getting concerned,
Come on Skye, wake up, I need someone to play battle ships with Ward whispered with affection, his Rookie was having an effect on him, and he certainly wasn't complaining,
Sir, you have a dislocated shoulder and a cracked rib, and May surprisingly you have gotten away with only a few cuts and bruises but nothing serious, Simmons explained, I am going to have to put your shoulder back into place Sir, are you ready?
No, Melinda…please? Coulson looked up at May, she knew exactly what he was asking.
Let me, May explained to Simmons gently, Simmons only nodded before quickly getting up and going over to Skye and checking her over,
I am here, Phil, are you ready? Coulson only nodded before yelling in pain and May put his shoulder back into place, May returned to stroking his hair.
Skye has a broken ankle and concussion, I have wrapped her ankle but I cannot do anything about her concussion until she wakes up, I am slightly concerned that she hasn't woken but I wont take action unless she doesn't wake in the next 10 minutes, Simmons informed Ward, before gently patting his shoulder and moving over to Fitz, she hated that she had ignored him until now but she wanted to make sure everyone else was okay before she could sit with him.
For the next 10 minutes, the team sat in silence, waiting for Skye and Fitz to wake up, Coulson had eventually fallen asleep in May's lap and Ward continued to whisper to Skye, coaxing her to awaken. Simmons had been stitching and bandaging Fitz who suffered from large shards of glass getting lodged into him, luckily no major arteries had been cut but he was suffering from concussion and a broken arm, which he would not be happy about because he would be unable to make any adjustments to the DWARFs that he had been planning to do.
Ward? Skye mumbled, Ward instantly hugged his Rookie closer,
Hey Rookie, how you feeling? Ward asked gently,
Like I have an extreme hangover, my ankle is killing me and I really want to sleep, Skye replied before closing her eyes,
Skye look at me, Ward demanded knowing that the worst thing you can do with a concussion is to sleep, I need you to stay awake, you have a broken ankle and concussion so you can't sleep just yet, okay?
Okay, AC? Skye looked around frantically for her father figure
He is over here with me Skye, replied a voice from the other side of the table, Skye recognised the voice as May,
Ward, please? Skye looked at Ward, he knew exactly what she wanted. He then swiftly but gently picked her up, walked around the table and sat next to May with Skye in his lap so she was next to Coulson,
AC? Skye mumbled, slightly scared when he didn't answer,
He is asleep; leave him Skye, May replied gently,
What happened? Skye asked the older agent,
As May explained what had happened, how long she had been out and everyone's various injuries, Simmons watched on with a smile, glad Skye was awake but she was feeling uneasy at the moment, it had been nearly 45 minutes since the explosion and Fitz still hadn't woken up…
Please review with your thoughts, I would be extremely grateful!
