A/N: yet another update to celebrate tonight's episode, which looks awesome btw. Oh, and I completely plagiarized a line from Lost. Can you catch it? It's not a real obvious one. Enjoy!
"Holy shit!" Danny said, holding onto the other person's arm for dear life. "I swear to God, I'm gonna kill him for this!"
"You say that every week!" Kono screamed back.
She was dangling through a hole in the rotten floor in an abandoned building. Steve ordered them inside. Now Kono was hanging precariously twenty feet above a concrete floor.
"Pull me up!" she yelled.
"I can't!"
"Why the hell not?"
"Because I'm pretty sure my shoulder's been dislocated."
"Then give me your other arm!"
"I do that and we both splat on the concrete."
"What is going on up there?"
"What do you think?" the pair screamed back down at their boss.
"Okay, okay," Steve said, holding his hands up to placate them. "Chin's got Hammond. I'll…come up there and get you."
Danny took a deep breath and said, "So, how're you enjoying your first day back?"
"Oh, it's been awesome," she replied, holding on more tightly. "How's your arm."
"I think it's about to fall off, thanks for asking."
"How did this happen?" Steve asked from behind Danny.
"How do you think? We were chasing Hammond and the floor fell out!"
"Dammit!" Steve yelled as wood cracked beneath him and his foot fell through. "Fuckin' hell!"
"You still back there, Steve?"
"Yeah, barely. This is gonna take me a minute," Steve replied, testing each plank before he put his weight down.
"Nonono! I'm slipping! I'm slipping!"
"No, you're not! I got you!" Danny yelled, moving to grab her with his other arm. The floor creaked beneath him and he said, "Hurry up, Steve!"
"I'm coming as fast as I can without killing us all."
"Suddenly you're concerned about that?"
"Shut up, Danno!"
"Both of you shut up!"
"Hey, Hammond's in the back of a squad car. How the hell did this happen?" Chin asked, appearing beneath them.
"Stop asking stupid questions!" Kono shouted down at him.
"Chin, get underneath her!" Danny shouted as the floor began to creak more loudly. "Kono, you're gonna have to let go."
"Nonononono!" she replied in a panicked rush, her fingernails digging into Danny's arm.
"It'll be okay, Cuz. I can catch you."
"This is a really bad idea," Kono whimpered quietly.
"Hey, despite your cousin's amazing skill set, I'm pretty sure he can't catch us both. Let. Go."
Kono closed her eyes and loosened her grip until the only thing holding her up was Danny. He let go as the floor creaked and a pair of arms pulled him back just as planks of rotten wood followed Kono down.
"Steve, is that you?" Danny asked without looking at the person holding him.
"Yeah, it's me," Steve answered, and to Danny's ears, he even sounded a little bit scared.
"Kono, you okay?"
"We're good!" she called up.
"Let's get the hell out of here," Danny said to his partner.
"Agreed," Steve said, pulling Danny to his feet.
"You're telling me with all that all-powerful Navy Seal training, you can't just pop my arm back into place?"
"Of course I can do it, but we are not in the middle of the Afghani desert. This is Honolulu. Go to the hospital."
"What's going on?" Kono asked, stepping out of her office and into Five-0's main area.
"He's being an idiot," Steve replied.
"I am not being an idiot," Danny argued. "I've dislocated my shoulder before. I just need someone to pop it back into place and then I'll wear a sling for a week. No big deal."
"Danny—"
"Steve, just help me out."
"Oh, for God's sake," Kono muttered before grabbing Danny's arm and pulling with all her might until she heard it pop a moment later.
"Christ! Mother fucker!" Danny screamed, his eyes widening in pain and shock.
Steve shook his head incredulously. "Are they teaching that at the Academy now?"
"Her mother's a nurse, brah," Chin said, emerging from the interrogation room. "Hammond's freaking out about all the yelling."
"Good," Steve replied. "Danno, are you crying?"
"I am not crying," he growled, stomping toward the kitchen.
"You can take care of him, we are going to talk to the suspect," Steve said, motioning between himself and Chin.
Kono found Danny icing down his shoulder. She took their large first aid kit out of the cabinet and found the blue sling.
"Did you really have to do that like that?" he asked as she put the strap over his head.
"Anticipation is the worst part. I thought I would spare you," she replied, grinning as she gently slid his elbow into the sling.
"Oh, you're hilarious," Danny muttered flatly.
"Thanks for saving me, Danny," she said quietly, tightening the strap restraining Danny's arm to his torso.
"Yeah, well, I wouldn't have done it for anyone else."
"Really?" Kono asked, walking around to face him.
"Well, yeah, if it had been Chin or Steve, they would have torn my arm right off," Danny said, grinning smugly. "It's not because you're special or anything. You just weigh less."
She glared and clenched her fists at her sides. In response, Danny grinned more widely and said, "Don't hit me. I'm injured."
"You are such an idiot," she muttered, walking away.
