What Will It Take?

Chapter 20

"How does that feel?"

"Feels fine."

"How 'bout that?"

"Still good."

"Alright, what about this?"

"Too much!"

"Okay." She paused and leaned back to right down some notes on her clipboard.

Three weeks had passed since the raid on the theme park and Rainbow team was ordered to return to Hereford for a post-operation briefing and a period off-duty, although still on guard for an emergency. Meghan, seriously injured in battle, was in the base hospital and ready to begin her physiotherapy sessions. The nanobots had done their job; thankfully without causing further complications. Now Gustave and the rest of the hospital staff had decided that she was now fit to start the rehabilitation process to get full function back into her bad leg. It was her first session and one of the nurses was assigned to help her through it. It was a methodical process, as they had to start slow before advancing into more demanding exercises. One of the early processes involved the nurse bending Meghan's leg in different ways to see how much mobility she still had, and what areas still needed work.

The nurse working with Meghan appeared to be in her early twenties, she had pale skin, platinum white hair, and piercing azure blue eyes. After finishing her notes, she continued with the procedure. "Alright, where were we?" She grabbed Meghan's leg once again and lifted up, bending her knee as she did so.

"Um, nurse?" Meghan spoke up.

"Yes?" The nurse looked down and realized the movement had caused the hospital gown Meghan was wearing to slide up; she was wearing nothing underneath, "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Both of their cheeks burned red at the awkward moment.

"It's alright." Meghan reassured.

"Let me fix that." The nurse offered as she grabbed the garment and pulled it back down.

"Ahem." A voice came from the rooms entrance. They both looked over to see Ela leaning her shoulder against the door frame.

"Oh, hey!" Meghan greeted.

"Hi…" Ela greeted back. She wouldn't admit it to anyone, but what she had just witnessed… uneased her, at the very least, "What's going on here?"

"Oh, this is nurse Avarosa. She's helping me with physical therapy."

"You can call me by my first name, Ashe." The nurse introduced herself to Meghan's girlfriend. "Nice to meet you Ms?"

"Ela." The two of them shook hands, once Ela had moved closer to inspect the woman who worked on her girlfriend.

"Nice to meet you Ela, are you a friend of Meghan's?"

"I'm her girlfriend, actually." Ela said, bluntly.

"Oh." There was a pang of disappointment in her reaction, Ela didn't fail to notice that, "Nice to meet you."

"So what was going on just now."

"Oh, you saw that?" Meghan jumped in, "Slight wardrobe malfunction."

"And what exactly caused this malfunction?" Ela didn't take her eyes off of the nurse, seemingly trying to stare her down. Ashe on the other hand, didn't seem to notice; at the very least, she wasn't fazed by it.

Meghan just had to link the dots to immediately pick up on it, "Ashe, could you give us a moment alone please."

"Of course." The snow haired nurse answered, "I'll just give these notes to Dr. Kateb so he can keep track of your progress."

"Thank you."

Ashe gave them both a smile before leaving the room, Ela all the while never taking her eyes of the girl.

"So why is she doing this with you?" Ela asked as soon as the nurse was out of earshot.

"What do you mean?" Meghan asked, confused. "Physiotherapy is a common procedure for most injuries."

"Seems unnecessary if you ask me." Ela felt a pang of regret on using these words. She did know how that was important for the woman she cared about, but she didn't have much more options to get her point across.

"It's part of my road to recovery."

"To bend your leg?" Ela crossed her arms, she was still looking in the direction that Ashe had just left, despite her being long gone, "I could have done that."

Meghan was confused at her girlfriend's comments; this was extremely out of character for her. She thought about for a moment, not taking much for it to suddenly dawn on her, "Elzbieta Bosak."

Ela visibly cringed at hearing her full name; this caused her to look at Meghan at last.

"Are you jealous?" Meghan asked in a teasing tone.

"What!?" Ela's cheeks immediately turned red, "Of course not!" She immediately replied in denial.

"Oh my gosh, you are!" Meghan couldn't help but smile from the teasing. That was out of this world, Ela had never been in a relationship before, so she's never felt the emotions that come with such an endeavor. This would have been absolutely adorable if Ela hadn't looked like she was about to rip Ashe's heart right out of her ribcage with her bare hands.

"No I'm not. I just don't think you need to be touched by random woman to get better." Ela tried to explain.

"She's not just some woman, Ela. She's a trained nurse, her job is to get me back to full strength as fast as possible." Meghan reassured.

"But…" Ela sighed in defeat, "I know."

"So what's got you so worked up?"

Ela tried her best to explain, "Seeing you…like that."

"You mean with no pants on?"

"Well, yes. With someone else touching you…"

"Ela, you know she was just helping." Meghan grabbed her by the hand, "And I would never do that to you."

"I know, I know." Ela gave her hand a squeeze, "It's just, after our first night together, I realized just how lucky I was to have you. I was looking forward to being with you again. Even during the mission, with bullets flying around us, I found myself craving your touch in an…intimate way again."

"I was looking forward to it as well." Meghan added.

"And then…it happened." Ela reflected on the speechless near-death experience that led to Meghan's injury, "It's like we've had to conquer the world to prove we could be together and I didn't like the thought of losing you to someone else after all we've been through…"

Meghan pulled Ela in for a much needed hug. "You don't have to worry Ela."

"I know." Ela hugged her back, as if she would lose her just by letting go, "But I do."

"Awww." Ashe had returned and was watching the display. Both operators turned to look at her, Ela with murder in her eyes once again, "I ruined the moment, didn't I?"

"Kind of." Ela said under her breath. Meghan glanced at her girlfriend beside her and tried her best to suppress the urge of giggling.

"Sorry Ela, but we have to continue with Meghan's therapy and I'm afraid that visitors aren't allowed due to privacy reasons."

"I understand." Ela said as she got up to leave, but not before planting one more solid kiss on Meghan's lips. Making sure Ashe was fully aware of what was hers.

"Have a good day." Meghan said, once she caught her breath.

"Oh I will." Ela responded, "Today Maxim is teaching me some new stabbing techniques." As she made that last statement, she made sure not to break eye contact with Ashe. She then finally left the room.

"I'm sorry about that." Meghan apologized.

She expected Ashe to look upset, instead the white haired nurse had a smile on her face. "You're really lucky to have her."

"What?"

"I don't know why, but I find it really attractive when someone defends their significant other like that, especially when they can pull off a good death glare." Ashe explained, "Oh, and when she brought up using knives, that was awesome."

Now it was Meghan's turn to be fazed, and slightly jealous. Ela was worried that Ashe was stealing Meghan away, but it turned out that the nurse had her eyes on the Polish girl the whole time. "That's attractive to you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ashe seemed to realize that she had just told Meghan she had been swooning over her girlfriend, "I know she's yours, you don't have to worry, it's just…your girlfriend is really hot."

Meghan couldn't help but laugh at the younger woman's antics. "Am I going to have to hide her from you?" She asked jokingly.

"Trust me, you don't need to worry." Ashe blushed, "I prefer redheads anyway."

"If you say so." Meghan said, "I didn't even realize you were into women."

"Well…" Ashe started, "It's complicated."

"What do you mean?"

"You see, I've only recently felt an attraction towards other women." She explained, "However, I've yet to…confirm if this attraction is real or just a phase."

"And let me guess, you also don't want to just hook up with some random girl to confirm it either?"

"Exactly. I want something genuine and romantic."

"I admire that." Meghan commented. "I remember what it was like finding out."

"How did you find out you liked women anyway?" Ashe asked, curiously, "If you don't mind me asking."

"Back in high school, I caught my boyfriend having sex with another girl." Meghan explained, "I let the son of a bitch take my virginity just two days before."

Ashe had a look of disgust on her face, "What an asshole. I'm sorry to hear that."

"I was depressed and heartbroken." Meghan continued, "One of my good friends came over and tried to console me. My mom wasn't home and I was so pissed that I decided to raid the liquor cabinet, we got drunk for the first time together. One thing led to another and well, we ended up making out. I can't remember who started it, but we made out for a good while. I was so drunk off my ass that I figured, first time getting laid, first time getting cheated on, first time getting drunk, fuck it, first time fucking a girl. Part of me did it out of curiosity, another part just wanted to get back at him for what he did."

"So, you found out you were bisexual from being an angry drunk?" Ashe asked.

"I know, I'm a horrible person." Meghan felt terrible reliving the scenario.

"No, you're not." Ashe reassured, "He's the horrible person. At least you learned something important about yourself."

"Yeah, I guess that was the only good thing to come out of the whole ordeal."

"What happened with you and your friend?"

"We dated in secret for a while, then we eventually moved on, we broke up on good terms at least."

"That's good."

"Yeah, I guess." Meghan felt oddly relieved. She had never told anyone that story before, it felt nice to get it off her chest.

"Shall we continue with the session?"

"Sure."

"Now, where did we leave off?" Ashe grabbed Meghan's leg and the two continued with the physical therapy.

"So what do you want to do?"

"Nothing."

Eliza and Monika were alone in the barracks lounge. The two of them laying on one of the couches, a blanket draped over them. Monika had her back pressed into Eliza's chest while the redhead wrapped her arms around her waist. The TV was on, but neither of them were really paying attention to the movie that was playing.

"Nothing at all?" Eliza asked, having the feeling in the back of her head that she was doing something wrong.

"Nothing at all." Monika confirmed.

"You don't want to go out and have some fun?"

"Nein."

Eliza thought this was out of character for her girlfriend, "You're not going to get bored?"

"I'm here relaxing with you. How could I ever get bored?" The blonde answered.

"There it is." Eliza thought, "Well aren't you just the sweetest girlfriend ever?" The two of them shared a deep and loving kiss.

"I know." Monika smiled, "Besides, how long has it been since we've had a day to relax?"

"Fair point." Eliza began playing with Monika's hair. The German always loved the feeling of the redhead's hands flowing smoothly through her gold tresses. After a few minutes of the gentle massage, Eliza hatched a mischievous idea, as she always does, "I know what we can do."

Monika was so enthralled by the fingers running through her locks that she didn't quite catch the remark. She did however, notice Eliza's other hand slip under the waistband of her jeans, "What are you doing?!" She asked as she immediately grabbed the invading arm.

"Having some fun." Eliza answered playfully. She reached back downward as if nothing had happened, until Monika grabbed her hand again, "Come on, just relax."

"I'm not sure if you noticed idiot, but we're still in the lounge."

"And that's what makes it so fun."

"You're insane."

"Come on babe, I we haven't had sex since before China. Don't you want to mess around a bit?" Eliza started rubbing her fingers up and down Monika's leg.

If only Eliza knew. Monika was just as eager for her girlfriends touch, if not more so, "We can go to my room." She began to get up when Eliza grabbed her and pulled her back down.

"No, I want to do it here." Eliza said in a lustful tone. She undid the button to Monika's jeans and slid her hand in once again. Her other hand began groping her breast from outside of her shirt.

Monika's cheeks were turning red and her breath was ragged. She grabbed the hand that was down her pants by the wrist, "Eliza, please stop." She panted as she tried to squirm free but Eliza's grip was too strong.

"I know you want it."

"Yes, but not here."

"Why not?"

"Because we can't."

"Oh we definitely can." All Monika did was make Eliza see it as another enticing excuse for another wild experience in their relationship. She was getting more aroused with the whole situation by the second, and seeing how nervous Monika was only spurred her on more.

"What if someone sees us?" Monika asked, looking around as if someone might have already caught them.

"How?" Eliza answered her question with another question, "Everyone is either out, or in their rooms. If someone comes close, we'll hear them a mile away."

"I still think this is a bad idea."

"Besides, we'll be under the blanket." Eliza began rubbing Monika's center through her panties, she could feel the wetness begin to form, "Admit it, you secretly enjoy this."

Monika was still apprehensive, she had given up on trying to stop Eliza's rubbing and groping, "I absolutely do not enjoy this."

"Yes you do, I can tell."

"How can you possibly tell?"

"Because you haven't grabbed my ponytail." The redhead began to kiss her on the neck.

Monika opened her mouth to let out a retort, but she couldn't control herself as a soft moan came out instead.

"Atta girl." Eliza slipped her fingers beneath Monika's undergarments, "Just don't make any loud noises and we'll be just fine."

Monika gave her an annoyed look, she knew their love making sessions were rarely on the quiet side, "If someone catches us, I'm breaking up with you."

"We'll see about that." Eliza smiled, knowing it was a hollow threat. She slowly began rubbing her fingers between the wet folds, quickly finding Monika's clit out of experience and rubbing gentle circles around it.

Monika was slowly being more enticed by her girlfriends touch. She was biting her lip as all worries of being caught were slowly melting away from the pleasure heating up between her legs. Without warning, Eliza inserted a finger inside of her.

"AH-" She let out before she quickly cupped a hand over her own mouth.

"Shh." Eliza teased, "I thought you didn't want to get caught, remember?"

Monika pulled the hand off of her mouth once she recovered, "You're not-HMM, making this easy."

The whole time, Eliza did not cease or slow down her movements as she added another finger, "That's the point."

"You are absolutely-AH, evil."

"I know." Eliza flashed her a wicked grin before locking her lips with the blonde's.

Monika returned the kiss hungrily, both from raw lust and because she knew it would help keep her mouth shut. Eliza only picked up the pace of her nimble fingers, adding to Monika's pleasure, "OH-" She nearly yelled again before Eliza cupped her mouth with her free hand.

"Now, now beautiful." Eliza cooed, "You have to try harder than that."

Monika let out a series of whimpers from beneath her hand. This was almost torture for her, and she knew Eliza was enjoying every minute of it. Her girlfriend was truly an evil mastermind when it came to this sort of thing, and it bothered her that it turned her on so much. Eventually, Eliza moved her hand and Monika took two of her fingers into her mouth, hopefully quieting any more loud moans in the process.

Eliza continued to move her fingers inside of her, curling them and using her palm to rub against Monika's clit, bringing her the maximum amount of pleasure. This was heaven for her, running her hands over the body of the person she loved so much. Holding Monika close as she surrendered herself to Eliza's touch. It was a ritual they had performed countless times in the two years they had been together, and one Eliza would cherish, hopefully for the rest of her life.

Monika was in pure bliss; Eliza knew every inch of her body. She knew exactly where to touch and how to touch it, every possible thing that she could to elevate the pleasure she could give her, and it was beginning to show, "Eliza, I'm close." The stimulation building between her legs was almost too much for her to take.

"Cum for me babe." Eliza began fingering her as fast as she could move her hand.

Monika arched her back and shut her eyes, ready for her to become undone right then and there.

Suddenly the door to the lounge swung open, "Ta brudna, białowłosa suka." Ela stormed in, muttering to herself in Polish. Luckily, she was too caught up in what was bothering her that she hadn't noticed what Eliza and Monika were doing, both of which had practically frozen in place.

"Hey Ela." Eliza greeted, "How's Meghan?"

"I wouldn't know." Ela answered, "Why don't you ask her new nurse?"

"New nurse? What's that supposed to mean?" Monika asked, trying her best to recompose herself before the polish operator noticed that she was all cross-eyed and sweaty.

"She has a new nurse to help her recover." Ela explained, "And the first thing I see when I walk in is her hands all over Meghan's bare leg."

Eliza's eyes went wide. "She's cheating on you with a nurse?!" She was about to jump out of the couch and go on a nurse-killing rampage before she reminded herself the state they were in.

Ela realized how wrong of a picture she just gave, "No. She was just helping her with her physical therapy. But it looked more intimate than necessary. I'm not happy with it."

"So, she was just trying to help?" Monika clarified.

"Yeah, kinda."

"Well that not a big-AH-deal." Eliza still had her fingers deep inside of Monika, and she began to move them again.

Ela couldn't see what was happening because of the blanket, but noticed Monika's yelp, "Are you okay?"

"Yes." Monika answered, "Just feeling a little under the-AH-weather."

"Is that why you two are under the blanket?"

"Yes-HMMM, that's exactly why." Monika quickly flashed her girlfriend a pleading look, silently begging for her to stop. Eliza only gave her a mischievous smile in return and continued to roughly pump her fingers in and out of her.

"Yeah, and I have to take good care of my beautiful girl." Eliza added.

Ela crossed her arms, "Wish I could do the same." She muttered.

"Oh, do you now?" Eliza chuckled, all the while continuing her mischief in Monika's pants.

Ela sighed. "I want to be the only one to touch her…like that." It was embarrassing to admit, but Eliza and Monika were the only other people besides Meghan that she was somewhat comfortable telling this kind of thing.

"But as you said, she was only trying to help." Eliza pointed out, ""It's just part of her healing process, it's not like she's trying to steal her away from you."

"Right." Ela agreed.

"Mmmm." Monika whined.

"And besides, does this nurse even like girls?"

Ela thought for a moment. "I guess I'm not sure."

"Remember, not every girl you meet is gay or bi." Eliza gave it some thought, "Although in your case, it's a surprising amount that are."

"It's just…seeing someone with their hands on her didn't sit well with me." Ela clarified, "Especially when I can't."

"Ah, I see." Eliza said, "You want to fuck her." As she emphasized the word, she shoved her fingers as deep as they would go, causing Monika to let out a barely audible whimper. She was on the edge of the world again, which was only made more intense from having missed the first one, and it was getting harder to control her own body.

Ela's cheeks turned red, but Eliza was right, "I was trying to be mature about saying it…but yes, that's part of it."

"Have you two even done it yet?"

Ela wasn't even sure why she was talking about this, "Yes, once before we left for China."

"So you got had the experience and now you want to do it again."

At this point Monika had given up on talking and was focused on trying not to orgasm right in front of her friend, especially while she was going through personal trouble. Her body was trembling, her toes were curled and she was gripping the blanket so hard she was surprised it didn't tear. She had to get Eliza back for this, somehow.

"It's more than sex that I want, I miss her." Ela admitted, "I miss having her next to me in bed and being the first thing I see when I wake up."

"Well you're just going to have to be patient. I'm one-hundred percent sure Meghan feels the same way, if not more. You're the most precious thing in the world to her right now." Eliza reassured, "As for this nurse, I'm positive that you have nothing to worry about, she's just trying to do her job, which if you think about it, only benefits you because it will get Meghan out of the hospital and back to you faster."

Ela thought hard over Eliza's words, "I guess you're right."

"Look, I know it's hard having to go all the way to the hospital just to see her, but the both of you have been through a lot. You two are more than strong enough to get through this chapter of your relationship."

"You think so?"

"I know so." Eliza said with her usual confidence.

"Thanks." Ela smiled, her mind finally at ease.

"Anytime."

"I guess I'll leave you two alone." Ela said as she turned to leave, "I hope you feel better, Monika."

"Thank-AH-thank you."

As soon as the door to the lounge closed, Monika let out the loud moan she had been holding in for what felt like an eternity. Her back arched and her hips bucked against the hand that was still pleasuring her. For a solid thirty seconds her whole body spasmed as she experienced the ecstasy from the orgasm Eliza had given her.

Eliza pulled her girlfriend close, wrapping her free arm around her girlfriends torso while her other hand still had her fingers buried inside of Monika's warm flower. Eventually, Monika's body calmed down and she relaxed into her girlfriends embrace.

Eliza was still methodically moving her fingers inside of Monika, albeit much more gently. She began planting soft kisses along her neck as Monika was still breathing heavily. Her body would twitch every now and then from her fingers, as her whole body was now really sensitive.

After taking a few minutes to fully recover, she pulled Eliza's hand out of her pants, which now had a large and noticeable wet spot on them. She turned around to give her girlfriend the most menacing death stare that she could.

Eliza responded with a look of innocence, "What?" She asked playfully before sticking her two fingers in her mouth, licking them clean.

Monika grabbed the redhead by the shoulders and pinned her back down on the couch, "You are so going to pay for that."

Eliza was more excited than anything to see what her girlfriend had in store for her.

Ela walked up to the second floor towards her room, when she noticed a familiar figure standing outside of her door. "Isaac?"

The man turned and looked at her, "Oh hey. I was looking for you."

"I was just at the hospital visiting Meghan." She explained.

"Right. How is she?"

"She's doing very well, actually." Ela told him, "She's starting physiotherapy today. Hopefully she'll be back in action soon."

"Hopefully." Isaac agreed.

"So what did you need?"

"Speaking of recovering, Norman and Irvin are being released from the hospital tomorrow. We're all going out to celebrate, want to go?"

Ela brightened up at the invitation, "Of course."

Since that meeting back in China, Ela and the rest of her team had gotten much closer. In fact, Isaac was comfortable saying that they were now all just as close as they were ten years ago. Ela might not have said the same, but that was only due to her pessimistic nature.

However, there was still one issue that plagued Isaac's mind. He had still yet to inform Ela about Peterson. She had yet to ask anything, and he hadn't found a good time to tell her. He was worried that she wouldn't take it well, considering that the very last interaction between the two had been very bitter, and that she still, at least to some degree, blamed herself for what had happened. For now, Isaac figured, they would simply enjoy being reunited, there was no need to dampen the mood just yet.

"Where are we going?" Ela asked, breaking his train of thought.

"Our favorite bar down the road, our friend Grag owns it. The guy knows how to make a good drink."

"Sounds fun."

"And you'll get to meet the families too."

"Families?"

"Yeah. Norman's wife and kid, Irvin's husband, McConnell's wife, and Kowalski's got a fiancé."

"Oh, right. I forgot you've all grown up." Ela teased.

"Yeah, look who's talking Ms. Thirty-years-old-and-just-started-my-first-relationship." Isaac shot back.

"Well, what about you, is there a Mrs. Isaac I get to meet?"

"No, but there are two ex-Mrs. Isaacs out there."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."

"It was a long time ago, I've moved past it."

An awkward silence passed between them.

"So tomorrow?" Ela clarified.

"Right. I'll text you the time." Isaac said.

"Perfect, can't wait." Ela said, looking forward to the celebration.

Isaac took his leave as Ela opened the door to her room, before she walked in, a thought crossed her mind.

"Isaac." She called out. The man turned around to see what she wanted. "Can I ask you for a favor?"

Author's note: And we start of the Act with a..."bang." We haven't had a smut scene in a while and it felt overdue. Now we get to follow Meghan and her road to recovery, and Ela gets to find out what it means to be in an actual relationship. Just to clarify, it's Ashe from League of Legends not Overwatch, the two look so similar. As always, I hope you enjoyed and feel free to leave a review. Until next time.
