Chapter Eleven: Confession
Wesley painfully opened his eyes. He felt like he had been thrown over a cliff, he was sore all over. He sighed as he stared up at the green leafy canopy of the jungle. He didn't make a move or more truthfully he couldn't move due to a great pain in his right leg and his left side.
"Your finally awake," Wesley heard Abby say. He sat up, a bit too quickly because he felt great pain in his left side. Abby rushed to him catching him as he started to fall back. She gently laid him back to the ground.
"Well?" Wesley asked smiling up at her "What's the prognoses doc?"
She noticed the humor in his voice, "Take off your shirt." She said with a straight face. She took a, certain satisfaction at his reaction his smile disappeared faster than the Enterprise at warp 9.
"Excuse me" he replied, she could here the nervousness in his voice. She relished it for a few moments, then decided to put his mind at ease.
"Relaxes I just need to see how many broken ribs you have." She said as she helped him wincing to a sitting possession. He gave her an uncertain look before he unzipped the back of his uniform top and removed the jacket. Then the white t-shirt to reveal his slightly muscular chest.
(Wow!) She thought, a bit louder than she minted to, causing Wesley to say, " What, did you say something."
"No" Abby said blushing as she placed a hand on his pushing inward. "Dose that hurt?" she asked him. He shook his head no, and she moved downward pressing inward till he winced in pain.
"Humm, 3rd and," Wesley winced again, "6th ribs are broken. Not mention what your leg is like. I haven't had time to look at it yet." She said moving down to look at it. She ripped his off part of his right pant leg and began wiping away blood.
Wesley watched her work, "you know, I think you just want my clothes off." He said laughing.
"You wish," she said also laughing, "ouch, you got something lodged in there," she grabbed it, " Ok, I'm not going to lie to you, this going hurt."
"Thanks for your honesty." He said unenthusiastic.
Abby pulled hard knowing that speed was kinder that generalness. After a few agonizing moments the object in Wesley's leg was dislodged and identified to be a nasty jagged piece of metal.
"So is the doctor finished her butcherly?" asked Wesley sourly.
"Yes" she said sweetly causing Wes glower at her. "and as your doctor I'm prescribing you this." She said pulling the vacutainer tube out of her pocket.
"What's that?" he asked curiously.
"This" she said pointing to it "is a very strong painkiller."
Wesley looked like charismas had come early this year. " Have I told you how much I love you." He said begging for that medicine
"No you haven't" she said pulling the top off. "Now this isn't going to tasted very good but take it anyway."
Wesley gave the tube a look before draining it. His face twisted in disgusted as he swallowed the medicine.
"Now, that stuff is going to take it a few minutes to work. So I'm going to go gather some fire wood, it'll be dark soon" She said standing up. She patted his shoulder as she walked past him.
Riker looked around, he was in a jungle clearing filled with derbies. Metal was everywhere in all shapes sizes.
"Data" he called to the android. Data who had been running a tricorder over a piece of metal ended his scans to approached him.
"Yes, Commander" Data asked as he approached closing the tricorder.
"Have you identified anything?" Riker asked him.
"No, commander, our scans have come up empty handed." He replied
Riker sighed "Alright, out time is all most up anyway plus we can't do any thing in the dark."
"Commander, perhaps we can modify the sensor to cut through the electromagnetic field." Data suggested
"Give it a shot, Data" Riker said before they were beamed back aboard the Enterprise.
Wesley watched Abby while she worked on building a fire.
"What would I do without you Abby?" Wes wondered aloud.
"Good question." Abby said jokingly.
"I'm serious" he persistent "If you weren't here I'd be on the ground with two broken ribs and a jagged piece of durosteel. Not to mention the fact that I'd be in extreme pain right now with out the pain killers you gave me."
Abby sat down next to him. Wesley noticed an odd expression on her face in the fire light.
"Abby", Wesley asked worried. Abby just stared in to the fire for a long while. (Don't push her.) he thought staring at her (or she won't tell you anything.) so he left the matter alone turning to the cracklings of the fire.
Finally, after a few minutes Abby broke the silent. "Wesley," she started not looking at him. "We're good friends right."
Wesley gave her a curious look, "I consider us good friends," he said getting more than a little worried. "Abby, were is this going."
"For a while now, I've been trying to find the right time to tell you something. And I think in light of our predicament, now is as good of a time as any."
"OK" Wesley said slowly not really understanding what was going on.
"Do you remember when we first discovered our telepathic bond?" She asked him and he nodded. "And you asked me to explain what was going."
"And you really couldn't, you said you couldn't project thoughts because of your of your power. You said it was a rare power." Wesley said "Abby, what is your power?" he asked for the second time silence he meet her.
"Premonition" she forced out.
Wesley did react as Abby had anticipated, he just asked clueless "Premonition, what's that, it's not mind control is it."
Abby gave him a small smile, "No it's not mind control, it's the ability to see the future." She said then she did something unexpected she braced herself as if she expected him to yell.
Wesley noticed this and thought it odd "Ok," he said as if it wasn't out of the ordinary then he had a sudden thought and asked her "Abby, how many other people have you told."
Shocked by how well he was taking the news she responded "two".
"And how did they react?" he questioned her.
"Well, Deanna was fascinated, but"
"But the other person didn't share Deanna's fascination I take it." Wesley predicted reading the reactions on her face.
"No…… he didn't" Abby said "He too said we were close, but when I opened up to him he didn't want any thing to do with me." Abby chocked out almost in tears
"So" Wesley started slowly "you thought that I might have the same reaction."
"Yes" she said bursting in to tears. Wesley immediately pulled her to him in a hug and she cried harder in to his chest. Wesley stroked her hair comfortingly all the while thinking to himself (I would never do that I love you.)
Ok that it, hope you enjoyed and if you did please read and review.
