Eton's P.O.V

I walked into the room and saw...

Valkyrie laying on a bed made for her body to fit. A white flat sheet with a blanket was pulled up to just under her armpits. There was many rises and falls under the sheet. I recall that the doctor said that she is missing some limbs and flesh. Those must be the bandages covering the flesh. It looked like an overview of a valley that has seen battle. Looking down towards the end of the bed, were two fully casted feet. One of the twice as large due to missing half of the foot.

I let my eyes rove up towards her face- my heart sunk. Her beautiful face was marred by black and blue bruises, eye swollen shut, and small gashed opened along her cheeks going into her hair. I shook my head to get a clearer view of everything.

My mate - beautiful, powerful, stubborn, prideful mate - laying there with tubes and cables providing food, oxygen, blood, fluids, and checking her heart rate. The woman that some higher being gave me was reduced to being stuck in a medical coma due to all the damage that has happened to her.

I took the seat available beside the bed. I raised my hand to place it some where on here but I was too scared to touch her. She was so damaged.

How could we have left her!

I placed my hands into my lap and settled back. Needed to center myself before I start to get anything else done.

Can she even regrow anything? Are they going to take her off active duty? What would happen if they did?

I was scared. I have no answers to the questions that I keep asking myself. I took a deep breathe before I sent myself into a frenzy. It would not help anyone at all.

I am glad that Thel's mate has come back safely. John has minimal damage. I was jealous of that but Valkyrie did detonate her own suite.

I was in my own mind when I heard the door open to reveal a junior personnel. Looked to be a nurse in training. He was not the only one.

The first one -male, doe brown eyes, fat face, skinny body, no muscles - walked over with a clipboard and started to take Valkyrie's vitals. This young nurse's badge said 'Junior Nursing Assistant Joseph Point'. I watched everything.

The second one - female, light blonde hair, blue eyes, small stature and build, too skinny - followed 'Joseph Point'. I watched both of them. Needing to protect my mate at all costs. The female's badge stated 'Junior Nursing Assistant Brooke Cox'. She kept taking glances at me.

"Joseph," The girl started, "do you think that the Titan will recover?" She looked over at me and gave me a flirtatious smile. "What would happen to her mate if she doesn't?"

I felt anger start to consume me as I watched this whole interaction. I now know who to report.

"Ms. Cox, I would suggest getting back to work and not flirting with someone that is not available." A stern voice called out from the doorway. Startling both the assistants and myself. "Ms. Cox you are not suppose to be in here. This is not your jurisdiction of work. Get back to your area with Doctor Michelle Riles."

The female looked ashamed and scurried out of the room to go where ever. The young male started still startled at the doctor.

"Mr. Point," the doctor called out, "you are hereby put on restriction from this area. You were made aware to not allow anyone besides myself, Fleet Master Eton, and yourself in here. You have disobeyed those standing orders from both the Shanghai's and Human's official orders." The doctor held out his hand and the boy placed the clipboard in it and left.

"Fleet Master, I apologize for my staff in not following the protocol." The doctor moved over to the sode of Valkyrie and started going through his process. "She is slowly healing. That is the good news. Bad news is that I am not sure she can regrow the limbs."

I nodded my head as I watch the doctor leave the room. I already knew that outcome. Just don't know how devastated Val will be.

I settled more into the chair to get ready for a long night.
