Gibbs woke to the happy beeping of machines. Two heart machines, his own as he expected, and.. he turned his head slightly, Tony's, beeping happily along. Gibbs looked around and saw Ducky and Abby chattering.
"Will you two shut up so I can get some sleep?" Gibbs growled, but it was weaker than he liked, more a meow, than a GROARRRR. Abby and Ducky turned towards him, and Abby ran forwars, hugging him tightly.
"I was so worried, I thought they'd never find you guys, becuase-"
"Abs, how's Tony?" Gibbs asked.
"I'm glad you're awake, as for young Anthony, he wasn't so lucky Jethro, when he... well, IF he wakes up, they are fairly convinced there will be braindamage" Ducky sighed.
"Nuh uh" Gibbs said, "not gonna happen, his head's too thick"
"Jethro, you must at least consider the possibili-"
"No, Duck, I wont, I won't EVER accept the possibility, you should know that by now" Gibbs growled.
Ducky sighed deeply and nodded.
"As you wish Jethro, now, as for you, you should go back to sleep" Ducky said.
"I want to know what mine and Tony's injuries are, not sleeping without knowing" Gibbs growled.
Ducky sighed again and sat down.
"You have some bruised ribs, a badly sprained shoulder, a concussion, a clean hairline fracture of your scull, and a lot of scrapes and bruises. Anthony.. Anthony had massive internal bleeding, a crushed scull, a subdural hematoma, broken ribs, cuts that required stitching on his back, two badly sprained ancles.. that's.. it's not good Jethro" Ducky sighed.
"Jesus" Gibbs said.
"Yeah..sleep, Gibbs" Abby said, "and I'm not leaving, neither is Du-"
Abby's speech was interrupted by loud beeping from Tony's bed. Tony was seizing badly, and four nurses and a doctor came inside. The three of them could only look as the doctor quickly sedated Tony, checked his bloodpreassure and Tony was wheeled off to have yet another CT scan. Then the doctor came in again.
"Agent Gibbs, good to see you awake and better than last time we met" the doctor smiled.
"Cut the crap doc, how's Tony?" Gibbs asked.
"We're running some tests now, but we're concerned by the seizures, now, on to you, how are you feeling?" the doctor asked.
"Like choking someone" Gibbs growled.
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs, you tell the truth and you do it right now!" Abby growled.
"Okay okay, don't get your hair in a bunch" Gibbs said, "Jesus, you'd think I was dying or something, fine, I feel like crap, and I'm tired, and there's some pain present"
"Alright, a nurse will be in sho-"
"He doesn't want to sleep! Can't you give him something?" Abby asked.
"Abs!" Gibbs growled.
"Agent Gibbs, you really need to get some sleep, it's important for your health and healing process" the doctor said.
"I'll sleep when I know Tony's going to be okay" Gibbs growled.
"Fine then" Ducky said, got up and walked over to his IV.
"What're you doing Duck?" Gibbs asked, frowning.
"Taking control Jethro, sleep tight" Ducky said.
Gibbs could feel sleep pulling at him, and smirked.
"Sneaky bastard" Gibbs mumbled.
"High praise Jethro, high praise indeed" Ducky sighed, and patted Gibbs's hand as Gibbs's eyelids closed and he fell asleep once more.
"What's Tony's prognosis?" Abby asked.
"Honestly? It doesn't look good" the doctor sighed and rubbed his hair, "I'm doing anything I can, believe me, I wouldn't want Agent Gibbs on my ass if I screw up, and Tony deserves me doing my best, he saved my life once, when that crazy woman came in and started shooting people, Tony came in and saved the day, I owe him this"
"Let us know if something happens? Please Jack?" Abby asked.
"Will do, I'm going to check on Tony, you two take those sparebeds, alright? Get some sleep, please" Jack sighed and walked out.
"Right, sleep" Abby rolled her eyes, "how can I sleep with both my golden boys just.. laying there?"
"It's alright Abigail, I'm worried as well" Ducky said as he pulled Abby into his embrace, hugging her tightly as Abby let her tears roll down her face, staining her face with black eyeliner.
Ducky wondered what tomorrow would bring.
Probably more bad news.
