Notes: I imagine if Callie and Erica ended on a better basis that the three of them could be friends. Slightly AUish.
"What do we got?" Erica Hahn asks as she joins Bailey, Meredith, Christina and Callie in front of the ER doors.
"Four car pile up on the I 90. Several injuries. Ambulances are about three minutes out." Bailey answers.
Erica had left and she never really intended to come back but here she was. She had first come back to consult on a case with Arizona. At the first the tension between her, Arizona and Callie could be cut with a scalpel. However the case they worked brought them closer together. In the end they were all friends and Webber had asked her to come back. Since then the three were almost inseparable. Erica was still a tough as nails surgeon with her students but once the day ended her personality had a lighter tone.
The sound of sirens could be heard getting louder until they were whirling into the bay. They pulled open the door and moved the patient to a stretcher when a car came screeching around the corner. The doctors were all too busy mumbling jargon to hear it coming. Erica sees the car catch the curb and fly in the air. Reacting as fast as she can she pushed the stretcher and the others out of the way. The car came down with a crash and smoke filled the air.
Callie hadn't seen the car until she felt the stretcher being jammed in her gut with enough force to knock her back a few feet. She watched the car crash down and her friends disappear in the smoke. Reacting as fast as she could she gets the patient inside to help and ran back out where she collided with Bailey.
"What the hell just happened?!" Callie screams.
"The car blew up on impact." Bailey said clutching her head that was bleeding.
They both ran outside where they heard Meredith screaming. Meredith was kneeling beside Christina whose arm was pinned under the car. Christina was unconscious and unmoving.
"Christina! Hang on Christina! You'll be okay." Meredith tells Cristina reassuringly.
"Erica!" Callie yells. "Where are you?!"
"Here." They hear a small voice say.
Racing around the car they gasp.
Erica was pinned under the car with only her head right arm and upper torso not trapped. Blood was staining her clothes and her skin. She was fighting to remain conscious. Callie drops to her knees by her.
"O..others?" Erica asks.
"Meredith I think is okay but Christina's arm is pinned." Callie says.
Other hospital staff ran outside and immediately began to help. Arizona runs out hoping and praying Callie was okay. Relief floods over here when she sees Callie kneeling by Erica. She drops to her knees next to Callie. She sees blood flowing from Callie's shoulder.
"Callie you're hurt." Arizona says.
"I'm fine." Callie says trying to figure out a way to free Erica.
Before Arizona could open her mouth again Callie slumped to the ground unconscious. Arizona acting quickly catches her. Bailey calls for help and they got her on the gurney. Arizona got up to run inside but Bailey stops her.
"Stay with Hahn. I got her."
"She's my wife. I'm going with her." Arizona argues.
"I will help her. I promise. Stay with Hahn." Bailey orders.
Arizona defeated watched them roll Callie away.
Meanwhile Meredith was still with Christina.
"Wake up. Please you have to wake up." Meredith begs her best friend.
As if those were the magic words Christina opened her eyes and immediately tried to move only to be met with extreme pain in her arm.
"It's okay. Don't move. You're stuck under the car." Meredith explains gently.
Christina practically blinded by the pain "Stay with me."
"I'm not going anywhere I promise." Meredith says to her.
"Hey Yang." Erica says from the other side of the car.
"What?" Christina says. Didn't she have anything better to do right now?
"What's that song you and Meredith sing?" Erica asks.
"Um..Never Gonna Give You Up.." She answers.
On the other side of the car Arizona was begging Erica to stay with her. The bleeding was bad internally and externally. The car's hood ornament had punctured Erica's stomach while the weight of the car had crushed a few of her ribs. The fire department had gotten there and was using a crane to lift the car only slightly so that the hood ornament could be removed without being ripped out of Erica.
"Arizona." Erica chokes out. "Tell Yang she's a good surgeon. One of my best students. I owe you and Callie everything. You showed me a different side to people and that I was cared about. Thank you for that. Take care of her for me. Okay?
"No. You can tell them yourself. You're not going to die." Arizona assures her with a shaky voice. "You're my best friend and the best surgeon I know."
Tears begin to fog up Arizona's vision.
"Sing to me." Erica asks.
Arizona was shocked by the request begins to sing.
"You are my sunshine.
My only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You don't know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sun-"
She was cut off abruptly by Meredith's scream.
"Christina! No! Wake up! Wake up!"
Christina's lung had been torn by a broken rib and her lungs were filling with blood. She couldn't breath and blacked out.
"You need to lift the car!" She screams.
"No!" Screams Arizona. "If you do you'll kill Erica!"
"If he doesn't Christina will die!" Meredith screams.
"It's okay." Erica says. "Save Yang. Lift the car."
The operator begins to lift the car. Christina was pulled out and rushed in quickly while the hood ornament was pulled out Erica causing a major bleed out. Arizona could hear her heart beating in her ears as Erica was rushed inside.
Raced into the ER Erica was immediately moved the operating table where Derek Shepard got to work. Fighting against the clock he tries to stop the bleeding. There was too much bleeding and her heart was failing.
"Come on!" Derek yells as he tried to get her heart started again. After four minutes straight of no heartbeat he sighs and steps back.
"Time of death. 21:45."
He pulls off his bloody scrubs and goes to talk to Arizona who was waiting with Callie who was still out.
Arizona sees him and jumps to her feet.
Before the question could come out of her mouth she sees the sadness in Derek's eyes.
"No…"
"I'm sorry." Was all Derek could get out.
She cries and buries her face in his chest as he held her fighting his own tears. He knew what Erica meant to Callie and Arizona. Now she was gone. He felt like he failed. OR 3 would always be the place he lost Erica. It was a room she had saved many lives in but had lost hers in. It would always be Erica's room.
