Elle slowly stirred, blinking her eyes as she tried to figure out where in the world she was. After a moment, she remembered what had happened the day before, how Kay had been critically injured. She looked down to see him still laying there still and silent, as if he was dead and in his coffin. She shook her head to chase away those morbid thoughts as she started to check the monitors he was attached to. At least the readings from them seemed positive.
"Well, let's see about getting you off of this machine, shall we?" Elle said as she moved around the bed, deftly adjusting the respirator settings. "Now this might hurt a bit." She reached down and grasped the respirator tube, pulling it out of his throat in one smooth motion. A second later, his chest trembled as he begin to slowly breathe on his own. Elle let out a small sigh of relieve when she saw that. She had been worried he wouldn't respond well to being taken off of the respirator so soon.
"Jay and Zed are going to come and visit you soon," she told him as she reached out and took his hand. "I'm sure that they're going to be to see that you're doing so well. So, do you think you can open your eyes for me? Everyone would be so happy if you would wake up for us."
Elle felt a twinge of worry when he didn't respond in anyway but she forced her concerns down. It was still very early and Kay was weak from his injuries and the surgery. He just needed time. "So, how about I help you get all cleaned up for your visitors?" Elle quickly hurried out to gather the things she would need: towels, a mild soap, water, a washcloth, shaving supplies and as an afterthought she ran back to her room and got a bottle of her favorite rose scented lotion.
"Okay," Elle said as she came back into the room a few minutes later. She set the supplies up on the table beside the bed, carefully easing Kay out of the hospital gown he was wearing and covering him from the waist down with one of the towels. She dipped the washcloth in the water and thn soaped it before applying it to his chest, slowly running it over the strong muscles there before moving on to his arms. She had to be careful to avoid the incision from the surgery as she washed his stomach. At least that seemed to be doing alright. No sign of infection and with MiB surgical techniques, it was already beginning to heal without a scar. She ran the wash cloth over his legs, carefully stroking and massaging his feet a bit before rolling him onto his side so she could do his back. After she was finished with that, she reached down, removing the towel and carefully cleaning his groin area.
"Now, don't you feel better?" Elle said as she slowly worked the lotion into his skin, massaging his muscles as she went before slipping him into a fresh gown. Then she applied lather to his face, and started to shave him, smiling a little as she ran the razor across his firm chin. Kay definately wasn't a bad looking man. As soon as she was done, she splashed on a bit of aftershave and then reached down, rolling him over so he rested on his side. "You're all ready for visitors."
