Blake's pod so suddenly opened, and she was dropped out. She was freezing. Letting out a chilled breath, she rubbed her arms, and looked around, water dripping from her bangs. She could hear an alarm siren wailing down the hall.
She got to her feet, and approached a control panel beside Yang's pod. She flipped the large switch. The pod made a metallic whooshing noise, letting frozen air out of the sides, the motors whirring as they slowly brought the door open. The blonde fell forward, luckily caught by Blake.
"What's going on?" Yang asked, not able to see Blake's face.
"You have hibernation sickness." Blake said in a low, growling voice, smirking to herself.
"Blake." Yang said. "I swear to God if I had fallen for that and you'd have said, 'someone who loves you'. I would have smacked the shit out of you."
"I know." The faunas said, setting the brawler down.
Leaving Yang sitting at the base of the pod, Blake went around, opening the others pods, avoiding Ruby's, as she didn't want to open it until they had the proper medical supplies.
Yang soon got up, and went for Ruby's pod. "Don't." Blake said, opening Pyrrha's. "She could bleed out."
"We're not gonna leave her here, are we?"
"No, no, no. Of course not. We just need to find medical supplies before we open that pod."
"I'll *shiver* s-see if-f I can f-find anything." Ren said, making his way towards the nearest door, having already unfrozen Nora, who had quickly heated up, and was skipping merrily behind him.
The pair came back a few minutes later, a few boxes stacked in Nora's hands.
"What did you find?" Yang asked.
"Blood storage, defibrillators, a small heart rate monitor, something called a Stimpack, and a bunch of bandages."
"Painkillers!" Nora added.
"That too."
"And heaters."
"Right. Also, this." The stoic boy pulled out a handgun and tossed it to his leader, who failed to catch it. Everyone jumped when it hit the floor expecting it to go off. "Bad throw." Ren said, pulling a few mags out of his pocket, he handed these to Jaune.
"Okay," Blake said. "When we do this, we gotta make sure nothing bad happens. Right? Yang and Pyrrha are going to catch her and lower her down. Jaune, put the clasp for the heart rate monitor on her index finger. Make sure the machine's plugged in first. "
"Right." Jaune said, plugging it into the wall next to the heater they had plugged in.
"And Yang, Pyrrha, set her down in front of the heater. We want her to unthaw quickly. I'll give her the Stimpacks, which are healers apparently." Blake read the box as she said this. "And Ren, Nora, Weiss. Stand by for a blood transfusion."
"Okay!" Nora said, bouncing as she listened to Blake tell the others what to do.
Blake put her hand on the switch. "Ready?" She asked the others, looking around. Yang and Pyrrha were standing in front of the pod, hands intertwined. Pyrrha looking determined while Yang just looked worried.
Jaune looked as though he was contemplating what would happen if they fucked this up. Because, well he was. Ruby was his best-friend. And he was not okay with her dying.
The other three were leaning against the wall, looking at Blake. If anything, Blake was the most worried. Ruby was pretty much the glue in team RWBY. If she died, they'd probably turn on each other, and if what Blake thought the outside looked like was accurate, then they needed her. Bad.
The only thing Blake could compare how much the team needed Ruby to was The Walking Dead. Once upon a time, Ruby had made the executive decision that the team needed scheduled time together. So she got them all to start watching The Walking Dead on Sundays. And from what Blake gathered; the group needed that Rick guy. Without him they would have stayed just outside of that one city. And Blake believed that without Ruby, they'd choose the easy way out, and stay in that bunker for the rest of their lives.
Thinking about the nights that they had spent watching TV, reminded Blake of Zwei. Crap. She thought. They had forgotten about Zwei. He had been with them before, but who knows where he was now. Probably somewhere in the bunker.
Blake hit the switch, and the pod opened, hissing, as it slowly opened. Ruby fell forward, and Zwei rushed out, running around like a madman. Er. Mad dog.
Despite the distraction in the form of a corgi, Yang and Pyrrha still caught Ruby, and Jaune still put the clamp around Ruby's finger.
While the were setting her down, Pyrrha used her semblance to bring the zipper down on the vault suit. Blake pulled apart either side, and slammed the Stimpack into Ruby's chest, injecting it, she saw Ruby's wounds begin to heal, quickly, then stop before they were done. Blake used up three more before Ruby's eyes opened.
She looked around in confusion. "Where are we?" She hoarsely asked. "What's going on? Why are my clothes wet?"
Yang helped Ruby sit up, then stand. The red began to lose the vault suit, dropping it to her ankles and stepping out, then realizing that her normal clothes were ruined by the blood.
Blake, Pyrrha and Yang all stood in front of Ruby, being the tallest, they allowed her to change. Blake had also found a white undershirt to give her, and Ruby found that her cloak was absolutely fine.
Once Ruby was fully dressed in the blue and yellow suit, the other three walked away. "Let's get out of here." Ruby said, striking an epic "I'm back bitches" pose.
Like, if this was a movie, the three would have dispersed, and the camera would have dollied in, getting a close up, Ruby would have spoken her line, and BOOM! Credits! Cause I'm ending the chapter here.
