A/N sorry for the delay, the idea for this story as well as the character Rebecca Chang belong to darkmystery1
It was a few hours later when she started to whimper. Mike lifted his head up from where it was resting on the side of the bed. "Rebecca?" He questioned. The whimper got a little louder and soon she was crying out.
"No! Stop ! Leave them alone don't hurt them!" Fear was evident in her voice and she began to flail in the bed. "Please stop!"
"Rebecca!" Mike called out he reached his hand forward and gently shook her sholder. "Wake up" he said in a gentler tone
Her eyes shot open and she looked around until her eyes landed on Mike.
"Mike?"
"Yeah it's me do you know where you are?"
She paused for a moment taking more time to look at her surroundings, "I'm in the medbay right?"
Mike let out a small sigh of relief, "yes , do you remember what happened?"
She turned away from Mike and closed her eyes , trying to concentrate, "we... We were coming back from visting your son and then all I remeber is pain,..."
"We were targeted and hit by another car," Mike explained. "You and I both passed out before the team could get there, but they arrived soon after and sent us to medical, Simmons has been taking care of us ever since."
"How long have I been out for?"
"About a day and a half..., I should probably go get Simmons and let her know you are awake" Mike stood up and headed towards the door,
"I will be right back."
He found Simmons , who quickly jumped to her feet and followed him back to the med bay.
"How are you feeling" she inquired once she saw Rebecca
"Well it's not the greatest feeling in the world,but I think I'll live"
"Alright just let me know where it hurts, I'm going to run your vitals and a few other tests."
Simmons glaced over at Mike, "if you wouldnt mind leaving so I can have space to work that would be lovley."
"But I ... " Mike protested
"No, you can visit after I'm done caring for my patient, now out!" She said giving him a serious look.
Mike turned and headed back to the common room, hoping everything would go smoothly he had an aplogy that he needed to give...
After what seemed like an eternity Simmons came back and told Mike he could go and visit Rebecca. He took a deep breath as he entered the room. "Rebecca, I am so sorry " he said as he sat down next to her.
"It's wanst your fault Mike, it ... "
"But it was!" He protested "I asked you to come along if I hadn't , you wouldnt be in here"
"I chose to come with you, I could have decided not to come, this is not your fault Mike"
"But I..."
"No , I don't blame you for this, you're not the one that drove the car into us, Coulson thinks it was Hydra."
Silence spanned between them, before Rebecca spoke again. "Simmons told me how you saved me , if you hadn't I would probably be dead" she paused for a moment, looking down so she didnt have to make eye contact. ."Thank you"
You're welcome, Hey, Rebecca?"
"Yes ?"
"That nightmare you were having..."
"Nightmare ? What nightmare?"
"The one you were having before I woke you up"
She siged "I'm sorry Mike ,but events before I woke up are still a little fuzzy, I don't remember any nightmare.."
"Are you sure? You were talking in your sleep and..."
"I told you I don't remember" she said
Mike couldnt be sure but he thought he could detect a defensive tone when she spoke
"Ok, but you know you can talk to me about anything right?"
"Yeah I know"
"Well " Mike said standing up "I need to go , I expect Coulson will be calling the team togther soon."
"Thanks again Mike" she said
"You're welcome , hope you get better soon."
As he exited the room and headed towards where the team would meet up he couldn't help but feel like Rebecca had lied to him about remembering the nightmare.
