Hello! I am SO SORRY! I had the worst writters block imaginable, and then several events that were distracting me. I hope the wait was worth it, and I am really sorry!


*Third person POV. Room A*

"No." Carolina protested, "Absolutely not. No way. I am not agreeing to this"
She said, sending a glare from the hospital bed to Donut and Sarge.

"But imagine, a sweet, gentle, kind hearted nurse taking care of you right in the comfort of Red base!" Sarge tried again, gesturing to Donut.

"I could even stitch your dress back up! We can sip girl-drinks, and have girl-talk, are you into celebrities? We are gonna have so much fun!" Donut proclaimed happily.
Simmons shot her a sympathetic glance while Grif and Tucker laughed at the thought of Donut nursing Carolina.

"While you there, you might as well join Red Team!" Sarge said, matching Donut's enthusiasm.

"Are you sure you want to have me under the same roof with you, when you're asleep?"

"Uhh..." Sarge quickly decided to leave the room to go check on Caboose.

"In all honesty, it's good to know you're a-okay!" Donut said, sitting on the side of the hospital bed, and patting her shoulder.

"Yeah, I gotta admit, I think I owe both you and Caboose a beer for going through that." Grif added.

She sighed. "As soon as we get back to base we can just run the healing unit in my armor. I'll be fine"

"Speaking of that, why doesn't the hospital have a healing unit, but a suit of armor has it AND several other functions?" Tucker asked.

"It does," Carolina said, pushing Donut off the bed, "It's just...all Project Freelancer personal have been given neural implants, and they would need an AI to make sure the healing unit doesn't screw anything up."

"Bow chicka bow wow"
Carolina shot him a glare.

"Wait..but how would fixing your legs hurt your head?" Donut asked

"That's...a good question..ask Doc" Grif replied.
Simmons stomped on Grif's foot .

"Grif! Remember what happened last time? Donut is too gullible, don't have him try to learn anything from Doc."
"I'm not gullible!"

"Yes, you are"

"Oh...okay!"

*Wash's POV. Room B*

"Caboose...it says here that you were electrocuted, beaten, burnt, to the point where a normal person would die...and you just walked away from it?" I asked, sitting in a hair next to Caboose, who despite all the painkillers he was on, still appeared to be his normal self.

"Yeah...they also said some other things, like 'pass me that sculpture and then someone dropped the sculpture..pretty sure it wasn't me"

"You mean...scalper...as in the medical tool they had to use in the procedure, right?" I asked

"It was pretty life-like"

"Right... I think you're pretty out of it...more than you were before..if that's possible. I'll leave you alone to get some rest"

"Agent Shower, is everyone okay?"
I gave him a blank look, trying to correlate the name. Agent Washingtub. Right, almost forgot about that...

"Yeah, everyone is doing great. In fact, I had Sarge and Doc find something for you. You've earned it."
I reached into a brown paper bag and retrieved the item, placing it on the stand next to Caboose's bed.

"I got a small metal thing. Thank you Agent Bathing, I really like it."
Okay, he's not even trying with the name.

"It's not just a piece of medal. It's a badge. It shows that you did something brave and heroic."
I expected a smile or a confused expression, instead his eyes teared up and he began laughing...or sobbing...I couldn't tell at this point.

"This..this is my first badge that isn't a purple heart...or a "Stop team-killing you ass" badge from Church...thank you..I'm glad I was able to help my team...you think they'll wanna hang out more often?"
Maybe not the Reds and Blues, but I have a feeling Carolina will be spending alot of time with Caboose, being as he's the only one she's ever really opened up to.

"I think so, Caboose. Grab some rest."

**Back at blue base**
Donut and Doc were arranging a table for everyone to eat, surprisingly Grif volunteered to cook, as long as he could eat as much of it as possible. Also it was better than doing laps with Wash.
Carolina and Caboose were both healed completely by the healing unit, Church was able to run it in both of their suits, to the point where there wasn't even a scar remaining.

"Were you trying to go for a demonic, terrifying look? 'Cause if I saw a chick on fire, beat the shit out of my partner, I'd probably crap my pants" Church commented, scanning through the hospital data.

"I didn't have time to stop" She replied.

"Right, because fire isn't lethal or anything."

"This is why he's the mean one" Caboose whispered to her, earning a smile.
Church just sighed in defeat and went back into the base's computer. He claimed it was more comfortable than the helmet, though it was probably so he could ignore Caboose easier.

"Hey, Caboose..." she started, making sure he was paying attention. "A friend once told me that whenever someone does something heroic for you, you should give them a special gift."
Caboose glanced around, and turned back to her slowly.

"Um...am...I the one who needs to give the gift...or...do I get a gift? Or we can all just swap gifts! I want the blue gift. Because I am bl-"
She sighed, still wearing a smile.

**Flashback, Carolina's POV**
"Sooo, Carolina...pretty tough mission, am I right?" York asked, leaning against the wall, next to the punching bag I was currently wailing on.

"Busy."

"I was just thinking...The hero always gets a reward when he saves the princess..."

"Are you calling Wash a princess?" I asked, Wyoming started laughing from the break room, and Wash quickly rushed out to see what was going on.

"What kind of reward were you thinking, ?" I asked, as Wash glanced between the two of us.

"I...well I save you and Wash...so..I was thinking...I..." He fumbled, which was rare for him.

"A kiss on the cheek?" I asked, stepping in to close the distance.

"W-well...I mean, it wouldn't hurt" He dug his own grave.

"Hear that, Wash?" I said with a smirk, "He wants a kiss from you as a reward"

Both of them stared at me in horror.

"Well go on, a hero deserves his reward"
Again, both carried a shocked expression. I heard Maine quickly turn on his helmet cam.

That video was played in the mess hall, and was a very popular video for quite some time. Wash still has nightmares about it to this day.

**End flashback**

"Food's done!" Grif called out, earning cheers of glee from Donut.

"We're just friends, got it? You're like a brother, that's all." Carolina said, kissing him on the cheek quickly and heading to the table.

Caboose's eyes widened, and he quickly ran to the computer where Church was.

"Church! Church!"

"What?"

"Carolina...she's a pirate!"

"...What?"

"She. Tried. To. Eat me!"

"...Are you still on pain killers or something?"

" What if she and the other pirate...both eat everyone! I don't wanna be eaten!"

"Oh my god, just go eat"

"But Church...!"

"Just...don't tell anyone and go eat!"
Caboose then spent the rest of the night, telling everyone that Carolina, was a spy pirate that no one could tell anyone about. It lasted several hours.

The end.
