Prompt from MultipleMadness: Maybe you could do one about a prefall overwatch medical check-up? I'd love to see that :)

…..

"Fit as ever Jack…" Angela confirmed, scribbling notes down on a clipboard as the treadmill came to a complete stop, "… Your heartbeat's a little irregular, but we're keeping an eye on that."

Jack hopped off the treadmill and beamed at the younger woman, stretching out slightly in an attempt to loosen stiff muscles up. "My heartbeat's been like for years, surely we write it off as just being one of those things?"

She gave him a stern frown, "Until we can be sure it's nothing serious, I'm taking no chances." She then glanced back down at her clipboard, "You wouldn't happen to have seen Gabe anywhere would you?"

"No… why?" Gabe was usually okay with medical exams, he knew how important they were.

"It's Jesse's first exam."

Ah… that explained a lot.

Ever since the former member of Deadlock had joined the ranks of Blackwatch, Gabe had been very protective of him… but Jesse still needed a check-up.

"I'll see if I can find him…" Jack sighed wearily, putting his shirt back on, "… they can't be too far away."

Angela looked a little bit concerned by Jesse's reluctance to be seen, but nodded in agreement, calling Ana and Fareeha into the room, beaming as Fareeha raced over in glee.

She wouldn't be thinking that when it came to her shots.

….

"Gabe? Gabe!"

Jack frowned as he walked through the corridors, peeking into every room in his search for his best friend and his adoptive son.

"Gabe?"

"In here!"

It came from the left side room, and Jack quickly made his way inside, frowning slightly at the sight of Gabe sitting on the floor beside Jesse, who had his face buried in his knees.

"What's going on?" he asked, keeping his voice low so as not to startle Jesse, "Is everything okay?"

Jesse didn't look up, merely shrugging as Gabe sighed wearily.

"Let's just say that shots were… a lot different in the Deadlock gang. And Angela told Jesse that he would probably need some in order to help build up his immune system."

"Ah…" Jack knew that the shots were an important part of the medical… but some of them definitely not that pleasant, "… Jesse- "

"- I'm not doing it." The younger man muttered defiantly. "You can't make me."

"Jesse…" Gabe sighed, "… I know you're scared- "

"- I ain't scared."

"… I know you're scared, but you need to do this. What if you catch something serious? You could lose your eyesight or mobility, or worse!"

"… It won't happen."

"You don't know that Jesse. You just don't know that."

At the worry in Gabe's voice, Jesse finally looked up from where he had his face buried in his knees, glancing over at the other man, who was giving him a reassuring smile.

"… You promise it won't hurt?"

"I promise, that Angela will make it as painless as possible."

Jesse though to himself for a few moments, before slowly nodding, "Okay… okay, I'll go." He then stopped, "You'll be right with me, won't you."

"I'll hold your hand and everything."

Jesse grimaced, "Ya don't need to do that… you'll embarrass me."

…..

"Okay…" Angela scribbled some final notes down, "… You're still a little bit skinny Jesse, so I'm going to recommend some more nutrient shakes, to start building up your weight a little bit more."

At Jesse's groan of disgust, Angela rolled her eyes. "Don't whine Jesse… you also need to stop smoking. It's going to give you serious problems in the future with your lungs and overall health."

"But- "

"- No buts!" Angela turned her attention to Gabe, "I trust you'll help see this through."

Trying not to look at the betrayed face Jesse was giving him, Gabe nodded. "Of course… no more smoking for the kid."

"I ain't a kid."

They all ignored him, as Angela beamed in thanks. "Excellent… aside from that, everything is fine! The shots should protect him against the serious diseases- "

"- Should? For all that pain?"

"- and aside from the weight and lung cancer worries, Jesse is in top form!"

"See kid!" Gabe nudged him in the side, "That wasn't so bad, was it?"

"…. Yeah, I suppose not."

"Is that everyone done Angela?" Jack then asked, smirking as she rolled her eyes.

"Sadly no, I have my own check-up to go through…. with Moira."

Everyone winced in unison.

"Well… better you than us." Jack muttered, shuddering slightly at the thought of being examined by Moira, "You need any back-up."

"No… I don't think so."

….

"You're fit as a fiddle darling…" Moira concluded, beaming at Angela as the younger woman nodded gratefully, "…I do need a blood sample, just to be sure though."

No way.

"I think I can run that test on my own but thank you Moira!" Angela exclaimed quickly, getting to her feet and backing out of the door, "I'm sure there's nothing to worry about."

"Are you sure dearie?"

"Yes! Completely!"
