Jim groaned as he, and Arrow lifted the boat off them. "Goodness, that was more fun Then I ever want to have again." The Doctor said.

Arrow stood up, unharmed. Neither were Natalie, or Gwenita. Amelia stood up slowly, laughing lightly.

"Not one of my more, gossumar landings." Suddenly, she collapsed, holding her side. "Captain!" The Doctor exclaimed, helping her up. Victoria then stood up with some difficulty. Amelia pushed the Doctor away,

"Oh, don't fuss. Cup of tea, and I'll be right as rain!" She looked over at Victoria,

"You all right Tori?" She asked. Everyone seemed shocked at the nickname, Victoria grinned painfully. "Fine, fine. And don't call me Tori!"

Amelia chuckled. What nobody had seen while destracted was Amelia wipe some blood from her hand that come off from her side on the back of her boot.

"Mr. Hawkins." She said, taking a moment before she realized she was adressing the Doctor, she then turned to Jim. "The map, if you please." She held out her hand.

Jim reached into his pocket, and pulled out the map, sighing in relief. Suddenly, it floated in the air, and turned into a laughing Morph.

"Shit! You have got to be kidding me!" Victoria said in anger.

Jim winced, in making a grab for Morph, he'd finally acknowledged the gash on his arm, which was leaking blood onto the ground. "Where's the map, Morph?" Jim questioned.

Morph turned into a mini map going into a coil of rope. "Your kidding! It's back on the ship!" Jim exclaimed in exsperation.

Amelia glanced up, "Stifle that blob and get low." She hissed.

Arrow dropped, sheilding Gwenita, and Victoria ducked, sqeaking in pain. When the pirates had passed, Amelia stood up with the help of her rifle.

"We need a more defenseable position." She Looked at Jim, then at Arrow. Before she could speak, she fell back into the arms of the Doctor. She gasped in pain.

The doctor slowly lowered Amelia to the ground, setting her against a rock. Victoria looked at her sister. "Arrow, can you get a plank of wood off the boat, and hand it to me?"

Arrow looked at her strangly, but nodded, and ripped a plank off, handing it to her. She grunted, and pushed her injured foot in front of her, clearly swollen. She took off her lieutenants jacket, and ripped it in half. Then put the plank of wood to her leg, useing her jacket to tie it tightly to her leg. Bracing it temporairily. She stood up with little difficulty.

"There." She said in satisfaction, then looked at Jims gash. Without a word, she went over to him, and bound the rest of her coat tightly around his arm. "And, there." She said. She looked at Amelia.

"Jim, Natalie, and I will scout ahead. You, Doctor Doppler stay here with Arrow, and Gwenita." Arrow, and Doctor nodded. "I wanna go with you guys! Please!" Gwenita pleaded. Victoria, and Arrow exchanged a look.

"Alright. But stay right by Victoria." Arrow warned. Gwenita nodded, and followed them as they left. Arrow looked at The Doctor.

"Doctor, you patch up Amelia as best you can. I'll keep watch."

The Doctor nodded, a little bit surprised at Amelia's first name being used. Amelia looked a bit wairy, but gave Arrow a 'okay.' but pained filled look. The Doctor looked at Amelia in a permission asking face. She just nodded. And he quickly unbuttoned her coat, but not removing it. Gasping at how much blood was prtruding from her side.

"That bad eh?" She whispered.

The Doctor nodded, "I'm going to need to lift your shirt, not very far, just enough to see the wound better."

He said. Amelia hesitated, then nodded. Delbert did so, "Worse then I thought..." He murmured, grazing the deep wound with his fingers. Amelia would have screeched in pain, but there was something about the Doctor. Even a movement that should make her scream from the bellows of hell from the extence of her injury, it didn't even hurt.

"Eh, been through worse." Amelia whispered. The Doctor chuckled lightly, "Really?" He raised an eyebrow as he put her shirt back down, and buttoned up her coat again.

"Much, much MUCH! worse." Arrow said from his post on the other side of the boat. "How 'worse?'" He questioned, helping Amelia sit up a bit. Arrow turned around,

"Your looking at the owner of 30 purple hearts. 15 Navy crosses. 10 Golden Navy Stars . And 5 green badges of honor." The Doctors eyes widened, he had read a book on all the requierments to get navy badges, what Amelia had reached set a historical record that was hard to believe. he looked at Amelia,

"That many!" He exclaimed. Amelia chuckled lightly. "Well. I say as humbly as I can yes."

"and she's saved my life to many times to count." Arrow added. "Oh, you've done the same for me, Arrow." Arrow smiled and went back to his watch,

"But you've been smart enough to not have to do it that much." He said,

"Well, thats because I'm the one who stops and thinks 'Isn't it not normal to find a pile of tangeriins standing in a perfect pile in the middle of a jungel in front of a oddly large pile of leaves?' before grabbing for them, and landing myself in a 30ft deep hole filled with poison ivy, and a boa constrictor!" She shot back. The doctor laughed.

"Will you ever let that go Amelia? That was 3 years ago!"

"No, because I had to climb in there and rescue your ass, I had poison Ivy for 3 months!"

"I guess thats why being a Cragorian is handy sometimes!" Arrow said. The Doctor was full fledged laughing now.

"Still! Annoying as hell!"

"Your just angry that I made you miss your date with that guy, what was his name? Johnathan?" Arrow said teasingly.

"Arrow!" Amelia hissed. Her face turning bright red at the mention of the one other time she'd try'd dateing since Samuel. She also realized that her voice was fine as long as she didn't move. Doctor looked over at her,

"Johnathan?" Amelia blushed deeper. "Just my ex." She said.

"Ah." the Doctor said. She didn't hear the dissapointment in his voice, he was thinking she wasn't single. "Haven't dated a man since then." She said, The Doctor raised an eyebrow,

"Yes, all the ones that seem to hit on you are raging alcoholic cheating bastards that more then once have recieved a bullet somewhere from you."

Arrow added. Amelia just ignored him, and tried to move her arm, yipping in pain. "I never even thought to look at your arm." The doctor exclaimed. He examined it, "Sprained slightly." He murmured, and pulled a large hankerchief out of his pocket.

He carefully placed the, surprisingly, unprotesting Amelia's arm in it, and carefully tied the other two end around her neck. "Thank you Doctor." She said, smiling weakly. Delbert returned the smile.

"Yo! Doc! Arrow! Captain! We found shelter!" Jim yelled as he Victoria, Gwenita, and Natalie appeared comeing up the hill. "Great! Where is it!" Arrow called. Natalie looked sheepish,

"Well..."

"HIYA!"

A rusty old robot yelled popping out of nowhere. Arrow jumped, and the Doctor let how a little yelp like a frightened puppy.

"Well I'll be damned! A Bio Electronic Navigator! They shut down the making of these a hundred and fifty years ago!" Arrow exclaimed. "Call me Ben!" He said.

"Ben has a place we can hide!" Gwenita said excidedly. Victoria sat down on a nearbye rock.

"Only problem is, it's about 4 kilimoters south of here." She grazed her leg lightly.

"Mum, you can't walk that, again!" Natalie said.

"And aunt Amelia can't walk at all." Gwenita pointed at the now sleeping Amelia. "I'll carry you then." Arrow said.

"Well, one of you." He added, looking from her to Amelia. Victoria looked at The doctor, "Could you actually carry one of us?"

"Miss. Victoria. I may be an astrophisist who spends most of his time stareing at the stars, and mapping them out on paper, but I'm in better condition then you'd think." He said.

"Alright then." Victoria grinned somewhat evilly. "You carry Amelia. Arrow can carry me." she said.

Arrow knew what she was planning, and agreed with it. "Uh-uh-um. Ok." Delbert stuttered.

Arrow picked Victoria up, careful of her leg, and The Doctor gently picked Amelia up in bridal style, as to not touch her side.

"Ok, follow us guys!"

Natalie said, leading the way. Delbert carried the back. He looked down at Amelia. She was injured, and bloody, and looked to have a slight fever now, but he still thought she was beautiful. And she was single.

He smiled, and kept his eyes on Arrow who was in front of him. Unknown to him, amelia had been awake the whole time, pretending to sleep in order to hear something that wouldn't be said, or decided if she was awake.

And she was glad she did. If she'd been awake, and protested being carried by Arrow...Her secret would be out. Right now, she just enjoyed the comforting safe feeling of being in The Doctors arms.

'Thank you Victoria.'
