Hey there! I am really sorry for all of you who are waiting for an update on my „Through all the pain" story.
I was busy PUBLISHING MY OWN BOOK in Germany. YES! I did it :-) Thanks to all of you that have always told me to write a book in real life. :-) It's obviously in German as that is my native language. So if anyone is German and wants to have a look at it or even buy it please contact me for the link.
And to all of you who are wondering about "Through all the pain". It may take me a couple of days until the next update. Sorry. But until then there is this two shot for you guys :-)
This weeks episode was amazing BUT way to rushed. Danny is lying on the ground suffering from being shot and is all up and shiny in the next second. Oh come on. This needs to get a oneshot!
So I hope you have fun and PLEASE leave a comment. You know that I need them :-)
DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED 2x12 AND DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED!
Word like this are from the episode.
Chapter 1 – I see you soon
„Lieutenant." Kara's voice was strong but Danny could immediately see that she was not doing good.
„Lieutenant." He answered, sticking to protocol.
"You doing okay?" She asked her eyes searching his.
Danny's eyes never left hers too. How should he be okay? It wasn't the fact that he was stepping out into a world full of enemy's that would give everything to hunt them down, to kill them, to kill him. It was the fact that he had to leave her and the baby behind on this potential death trap, not able to protect them. He wanted to stay with them, wanted to be there if it all went south.
"Good as I can be.", He faked a small smile but in her eyes he could see, that she wasn't buying it. She looked around making sure that no one was watching them before stepping forward, touching his breast.
"Stay save out there okay?", she begged him. He knew that she was afraid, just as afraid as he was.
"You too.", he answered with a small nod. His gaze never leaving hers.
She nodded in return, clenching onto his arm for one last time before briefly walking away.
He couldn't see the tears in her eyes but he was feeling the same way she was feeling.
"Kara!", He said, his voice desperate. He couldn't let her go. Not now. Not like this.
As she turned around he could see the tears shining in her eyes. She wasn't the type of woman that cried easily and it told him just how scared she was. He was scared too.
Scared that they will loose each other, scared that they will not reunite in the evening, scared that
they will never see each other again.
"This sub. You have beaten it before. You will sink it this time." He reassured her, watching a smile lighten up her face for a second. As she made her desperate way towards him, he could see her tears, he could feel the pain she was feeling. As their body's finally collide they shared a kiss full of unspoken fears and desperation.
She still had his face coped in her small hands as she was speaking up again, laying all her fears and all her emotions into one little sentence.
"Don't you dare make me raise this child by myself."
Danny stared at her for a second. He knew how dangerous his job was, but he also knew that he would do anything in his power to return safely to her and their unborn child.
"That will not happen!" He said with all the confidence he could find.
"Okay?" He asked, never leaving Kara's teary eyes. He needed to know that she was trusting him. She nodded but he couldn't stand the fear in her eyes any longer.
Sinking to his knees slowly he touched her growing belly, enjoying the warmth's of her hand as she was laying it on top of his. And as if the little baby seal knew what was going on on the outside, Danny could feel a small motion. It was the first time he had ever felt his child. Danny smiled overwhelmed and looked up at Kara who couldn't hold back a laugh too.
And within this second everything else that was going on around them was not existing. It was just them. Just them and the small little miracle growing under Kara's heart. She grabbed his face again, gently this time as he got back to his feet. The kiss they shared now was an unspoken promise to do everything possible to reunite safely.
"I see you soon." Danny whispered. It was a promise. Kara's eyes where still filled with tears and boiling emotions as she nodded.
"Okay.", she assured him, holding eye contact for a while longer before turning around.
Danny knew that she was crying and he tried his best to keep his own emotions in check. Swallowing hard and taking in a deep breath his eyes still focused on Kara until he couldn't see her anymore.
Danny felt completely on edge as they where walking straight to the point where the sub crew had prepared a deadly trap for the Nathan James. As he got closer and saw the weapon he knew that this would end bad because they would do anything in their power to stop this guys from firing at the Nathan James.
"I count seven." Danny said, speaking out the obvious. They where clearly outnumbered but that wouldn't stop them.
"Well let's see if we can take that bad boy out." XO said while Danny couldn't hold back anymore. He got his binoculars out of his pocket hoping to see the Nathan James, hoping to get an answer to the burning question if Kara and the baby where alright.
What he saw made his heart stop for a second. The Ship was clearly hit. There was smoke visible.
"XO." Danny breathed out, handing the binoculars to his leader in command. He kept starring at the ship. It was still there. Kara was okay...for now.
"Ship is already in firing range." XO pointed out and Danny knew that it was on them, on him, now to save his family. The Nathan James wasn't even aware of the trap they where directly manoeuvrings themselves in.
Danny looked at the weapon for one last time before making his final decision. He wouldn't loose Kara and the Baby without a fight, even if it meant risking and maybe sacrificing his own life for them.
He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes, his hand twitching as he thought about the small movement of their little baby.
"I draw their fire!" Danny said and started to run, the bullets raining down on him almost immediately.
He knew that the XO and Tex where returning the fire but still there where a lot of attackers.
Danny made his personal goal and reached the position he so desperately wanted to reach. Stepping out into the open, not paying attention to shield himself or to look out for any attackers he fired at the man that was obviously in charge of firing the gun. He couldn't let that happen, he couldn't let that guy destroy his family.
The bullet hit him out of nowhere and all the air was immediately knocked out of his system as his body was thrown back by the unbelievable power of the bullet that had hit him directly in the middle of his body.
His body literally flew backwards and crashed against the car before he crashed to the ground. A scream of pain and agony left his mouth as his hand desperately clutched the point where the bullet had hit him.
He landed on his side not able to move as the pain was taking full control of his body.
"Green!" He could hear his friend Tex scream but he couldn't answer. The gunfire became a strange background melody while Danny could just focus on his desperate struggle for air. He couldn't breath, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't breath. Closing his eyes against the pain he tried to accept the fact that he was slowly suffocating right here, right now. He thought about Kara and the Baby and the promise he had given her just a few hours ago.
"I see you soon!"
The words echoed in his ear and got him to open his eyes. He wouldn't die. Not now. Not like this. Not after he had just felt his little baby for the first time. He would hold Kara's hand during labor, he would hold his little baby but first off he would do anything to safe them. Danny tried his best to fight through his agony and with a loud cry of pain he managed to take a breath and get some air into his system. It was just a small shallow breath but he was breathing again. And while the air returned to his system the world around him became clearer again. As he couldn't move he could just see Tex, clearly struggling with an attacker. Tex. The two of them had grown so close during the last months. Danny knew that Tex would do anything to take care of Kara and the baby if he wouldn't make it. From the corner of his eyes Danny could see another attacker aiming his gun at Tex. Danny was still laying on his side and his automatic gun was clearly pointing in the right direction. With some great afford Danny managed to raise it with his right arm,his left arm still pressing onto the place where the bullet had hit him. Grunting in pain he tried his best to focus on the subject and to his own surprise the gun was not shaking to badly in his grip and so he fired, the back draft of the weapon getting him to cry out in pain once again. He could see the guy dropping to the ground just seconds before his own head dropped down again. The pain was just to much.
Danny didn't know how much time passed but out of nowhere Tex was leaning over him, looking at him in shock, his eyes wide open.
"Danny?", He asked and Danny blinked against the dizziness. His breathing was still irregular and shallow but at least he was still breathing.
"Na..th...Na..th." He tried to get the words out, unable to speak due to the pain. Tex grabbed his hand and leaned down closer to understand Danny's words.
"Nath..." He managed to say.
"The Ship is okay. The Sub is destroyed. Mike hit it. They are okay Danny." Tex assured him, knowing what it was that Danny wanted to know. A smal smile circled on Danny's lips before he drifted back into the darkness just to hear Tex screaming at him. He could feel his gloved hands on his face now. Kara. The feeling of her hands on his face returned to his mind immediately.
"I see you soon!"
Again his words made it back to his foggy mind and he opened his eyes once more to look at Tex's panic stricken eyes. He was sure he had never seen this look on his face ever before.
"How is he doing?", Mike asked, looking down at Tex. His arm was still bleeding but it was a clear through and through so nothing Doc Rios or Doctor Scott wouldn't be able to fix soon. He was clearly more worried about his Lieutenant right now.
"It's bad." Tex just said finally getting the gun out of Danny's grip.
"Come on buddy, we will have a look where it hit you okay? I need you to help me and to stay with me. You hear me?", Tex said loudly while Danny nodded slightly.
"That's good. I will remind you of that promise." Tex kept talking. Danny could feel some pressure leaving his chest as soon as Tex loosened his vest a little at one side.
"Now listen to me buddy. I need you to turn around. I am going to help you, just relax." Tex said slowly helping Danny to roll from his side onto his back.
Danny tried his best to blink away the dizzy spots that where dancing wildly in front of his eyes as his gaze met the wonderful sky above him. There was barely a cloud visible.
"Vulture Team this is Cobra Team." XO began to speak. Now that the sub was destroyed it was safe to make contact again. Other than that he needed to inform Rachel and Doc Rios. They where both not to far away and he knew they had some medical equipment with them.
"Cobra Team come in." Burk answered.
"The submarine is destroyed. We need medical help here now." XO said looking down at Green. Xo wanted to add something but got interrupted by Tex.
"I need your help here. You need to hold his head while we take that vest out." Tex said while Mike kneeled down immediately recognizing even more that Green was just barely breathing. He was starring at the sky blankly.
As they got the vest out Tex didn't hesitate long until he ripped the shirt off of Danny's chest. He was met by just a little blood. The bullet had just peeked through the vest and punctured his skin but what was really getting to Tex was the fact that Green's chest was already coloring violet.
"Nathan James this is XO." Mike didn't hesitate a second longer before firing up his radio again.
"I assume that was you? Good work!" Tom's voice echoed in their ears just seconds afterwards.
"It was. Tom can you get Lieutenant Foster on the radio please?" Mike said looking down at Green again who was still starring into the sky. He made eye contact with Tex and could see the fear in his eyes.
"How bad is it?" Captain asked. He needed to know what to prepare Lieutenant Foster for.
"Green took a bullet right at the sternum. Vest blocked it but its obvious that it still caused great damage. He is barely able to breath. Doc Rios and Doctor Scott are on the way but you should really send the helo out."
"Will do." Tom answered before raising from his chair, making his way directly to Lieutenant Foster.
