Nicole POV.
Nicole never once let go of Waverly's hand as they rode to the hospital. Waverly had been covered in water when she first saw her but now blood covered most of her upper body. The way her girlfriend was grasping at her sleeve and groaning in pain reminded Nicole of her fellow soldiers who had been wounded. But this, this was Waverly. Her sweet brave Waverly " shhh I'm right here love, we are almost there" She cooed hoping to ease Waverly's pain and confusion. " You were so brave baby so brave, you don't have to be brave any more love I'm here okay and I'm never leaving you again ever you hear me" she soothed her girlfriend who was still gasping and moaning in pain. " Does this thing go any fucking faster?!" Nicole growled at the driver.
The man sighed and started plainly clearly annoyed by her question" Officer I'm going.." Nicole interrupted him already not liking his tone. "Do you think that you could show some respect to this young woman who risked EVERY THING and let some fucking psycho hurt her so her family could be safe. ?" The mans attitude changed right away. " Sorry Officer Eta is 5 min" Snapping her attention back to Waverly she ran her fingers through her hair as her girlfriend let out a cry of pain. " Almost there baby I promise almost there" The ambulance doors burst open and light poured in. Nicole was knocked backward as Waverly shot off the stretcher the light and sound scaring her. She crashed painfully to the floor of the ambulance. " No one move, just stop, wait " Nicole ordered.
Waverly had curled in upon herself in the corner whimpering, tears streaming down her face. Moving slowly Nicole crouched down, " Hey baby, it's me its Nicole." She whispered softly not touching her girlfriend yet. " Waves, can you look at me darlin?" Nicole asked gently. Smiling at her girlfriend as she turned her head toward the safe sound of Nicole's voice. " That's it, its just me okay? I'm right here can you feel me Waves?" She cooed softly just barely touching Waverly. Whimpering out her need for Nicole ,Waverly nodded sobbing brokenly into the side of Nicole's neck. " Oh baby okay I know that was scary, but its okay darlin , nothin's gonna hurt you anymore I've got you. " She said lifting Waverly into her arms.
" Okay I'm putting you on a stretcher Waves okay, I'm right here. I've got you're okay" Nicole gently placed her lover on to the stretcher not realizing that the entire team of doctors was staring at her with emotions raging across their faces. One of the female doctors cleared her throat as if to get rid of a lump of emotion. " Miss Waverly? I'm Doctor Mills and we are going to make sure nothing happens to you. You are safe now and we are gonna get you cleaned up and helped okay.?" she said gently.
Nicole watched as Waverly nodded from her curled position near her waist. Even without her sight she knew Nicole was there. The doctors moved quickly but and spoke but Nicole noticed it wasn't frantic or loud. Some one always explained to Waverly what was happening and where they were going. It made Nicole swallow a lump of emotion at the doctors kindness. Soon they all stopped outside a set of double doors. " Officer" Doctor Mills said gently. Nicole nodded knowing this was where she had to leave Waverly. " Waves, baby?" Her girlfriend turned toward her brushing her hand across her jacket in attempt to locate her. " I'm here" Nicole reassured her gently taking her hand but being mindful of its state.
" Listen baby, Doctor Mills is going to take real good care of you but I can't go back there. " Waverly instantly began to panic. " no baby no shhhh just listen to me my love I'm not leaving you are safe I swear" Nicole said brushing back some of Waverly's hair tapping her fingers against Waverly's pulse to calm her. " Waverly," Doctor Mills said gently. " Its Doctor Mills, I know all of this is really scary, and you don't want to let your girl go but we want to help you, and she can't go back there I'm sorry sweetheart, But I swear to you. As soon as we are done she will be in the room waiting for you I promise." The woman said warmly, resting her hand gently on Waverly's forearm.
Nicole watched as Waverly's lip quivered before she nodded. As they wheeled Waverly back Nicole watched the double doors swing shut. Taking a deep breath to calm the emotions threatening to overwhelm her. As a Army Ranger she had been focused and ruthless. She had seen people die and she had killed. She had seen things that had made the toughest men she knew break, but she never did. She her self had been through worse things than Waverly and had not let it break her. But seeing the love of her life dead. Seeing Waverly lying there so cold and lifeless. And know she was actually dead for nearly 10 minutes. It fucking broke her.
If Dolls hadn't had that serum she would have never woken up. Nicole would have been broken for the rest of her life. Nicole had no words for her emotions after Waverly coughed and sputtered back to life. It wasn't until the ambulance and seeing all the marks and blood that she got angry, it made her blood boil. He had gotten away leaving them to find Waverly. He was a fucking dead man walking. She realized her feet were walking nearly running before her brain could catch up. Bursting into the waiting room, she saw Wynonna and Doc. " Nic.." Wynonna trailed off. " Where's Dolls?" Nicole growled out.
" Tracking him" Wynonna whispered. Letting out an actual growl Nicole turned toward Doc. " Doc I think its about time we go hunting together" She hissed dangerously. " Nicole please stay, your not.." " I'm not what Wynonna?!" Nicole bit back sharply. " In my right mind." Nicole scoffed. " I wasn't earlier, after seeing my dead girlfriend but now, she is going to be okay. And now." Nicole paused taking a seething breath as she nearly spit out her next sentence." Now I am going to hunt down that mother fucking piece of shit and make what he did to Waverly look like a kitten scratch." Nicole could feel Wynonna's labored breath against her face and she realized she had backed her best friend up against the side of the hospital wall.
Clenching her jaw she stepped back. " Stay here and wait for Waves. Doc?" The gunslinger stepped forward. " I am most certainly right behind you Captain Haught" He said tipping his hat. The same dark look set in his eye. " How did you know?" She asked wondering how he knew her rank let alone she was military. She hadn't told any one. Not even Waverly. " I saw your dog tags, and your jacket is in your truck." He said. Nodding Nicole gently placed her hand on Wynonna's shoulder. " I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. We will be back, call me when they come tell you what they did and give you the hour mark before you can see her okay?" Wynonna nodded still in shock over all that had happened. Taking the role reversal in stride Nicole pulled Wynonna into a hug and placed a kiss on her forehead. " It will be okay, we will all get through this" Wynonna gripped onto Nicole's arms for a moment taking strength from her friend. " Okay yeah, you got it" She said letting Nicole go. With Doc right beside her she moved toward the exit. " Nicole" Wynonna called out. Pausing to look back over her shoulder at her friend, she watched a dark shadow cross over her face. " Rip him apart" Was all she said. Smiling darkly Nicole resumed her walk out the door. " Oh I plan on it"

Yaaay chapter four dark Nicole. Yes she is an army ranger and part of why she was so upset and not "Rangery" in the first three chapters was because she had never felt such emotion or fear. She just didn't know how to react. Seeing Waverly " Dead" was just too much. So follow read review comment all of the above :)
