Hello, everyone. This prompt was suggested by Roscava Sliena Natasha. Enjoy.
"Get moving. Generals, we have completed the mission and are on our way to the pick-up." Hunter stated.
"Good work, Sergeant. Get your men out of there and to the pick-up point. We will cover your escape and be there shortly." General Kenobi stated.
"Hunter, we're pinned down," Tech said.
"I've got them." Crosshair sneered. Crosshair sniped several droids allowing TEch and Echo to get out safely. Hunter watched his brothers move to the exits as more droids and bombs surrounded them. He heard noises above them and looked up.
"Run for cover!" Hunter exclaimed. Everyone ran for cover as the bomb hit. Hunter was flown back by the force. When he got up, he saw that his brothers were finally out of the building. He rushed after them and soon, they were at the pick-up point.
When they arrived back at base, the batch went to their temporary room.
"Get some rest lads. We'll be needed again soon." Hunter suggested.
"What about you?" Echo wondered.
"I have to finish my report and attend a debriefing in an hour."
"Hunter, you've made sure that we all get a chance to rest. When was the last time you at least took a nap?"
"I took one before our last mission. I'll be fine." Hunter lied. Hunter bent down to grab a canteen and was met with a wave of pain, exhaustion, and dizziness. He sat at the table and finished his report and when it was time, he went to his meeting feeling worse than he had before.
"We're keeping the Separatists forces behind this line. We must hold the line." Kenobi stated.
"Our tactics have been working, but… we need new troops." Cody sighed.
"I understand you men are exhausted. We all are, but we won't be getting reinforcement for quite a few days. Until then, we have to muddle through."
"Sergeant, will your squad be ready for another mission?" Anakin questioned. Hunter didn't respond. "Sergeant?"
Cody shoved Hunter and Hunter snapped out of his thoughts.
"Repeat that question, SKywalker?" Hunter mumbled.
"When will your squad be ready for another assignment?" Anakin repeated.
"Give us till morning. My boys will be ready then."
"Then we will reconvene then. For now, get some rest, and get some food. You will need your strength." Kenobi stated.
Hunter nodded and took a step back only for his head to start pounding. He rubbed his forehead and groaned.
"You… alright there, sarge?" Rex wondered.
"I must have moved too quickly. I'll be alright." Hunter sighed.
"Are you having an overload? I know you've had a tough mission and you've been busy caring for your brothers. When was the last time you slept?" Cody wondered.
"Look, I'm fine. I just need some rations."
Hunter turned to walk away only to cry out in pain. The pain was so intense that Hunter fell to his knees and passed out.
"Hunter!" Cody exclaimed as he watched Hunter fall. He caught Hunter and rolled him onto his back.
"What happened?" Kenobi questioned as he rushed over.
"He collapsed. He was in pain."
Cody checked HUnter over and when he ran his hand down the left side of HUnter's torso, he noticed his hand was covered in blood.
"Get a medic and get him to the infirmary. I'll bring his brothers to you." Kenobi stated.
Hunter was rushed to the infirmary and soon, Hunter's brothers joined him. They waited nearly an hour till Kix came out to speak to them.
"How is he?" Wrecker wondered.
"Well, he's alive, but he was lucky. When the explosion hit, he must have landed on a sharp piece of debris and didn't realize it, because he cut up ripping his wound open. He's showing signs of exhaustion and from what Cody told me, he also had an overload. We don't have a bacta tank for him and we barely have any bacta patches. There's no way he'll be able to go on missions for at least two weeks. What he needs now is plenty of care and rest." Kix explained.
"Can we see him?" Crosshair questioned. Kix nodded and took them to see Hunter. They walked over to Hunter's area and saw that he was sleeping. He was very pale and he was obviously exhausted. The brothers sat around Hunter's bed and waited for him to wake.
A few hours later, Hunter woke up and whimpered in pain. He realized what had happened and tried to sit up only for hands to stop him.
"Rest, Hunter. You need your rest." Crosshair stated. Hunter looked around and saw that Wrecker was holding him down while Crosshair was placing a hand on his shoulder. "You collapsed. Did you know you were injured?"
Hunter thought for a moment and then shook his head. He swallowed and coughed. Tech gave him some water and Hunter took a few sips.
"They're low on medical supplies. They gave you a bacta patch, but it's the only one they can give you and it's barely large enough to cover the wound." Tech explained.
"Where was I injured?" Hunter croaked.
"You don't feel it?" Echo wondered. Hunter shook his head and sighed.
"My whole body hurts."
"Get some rest. We'll take care of you."
"What about our mission?"
"They'll survive without us. We're not leaving you." Crosshair scoffed. Hunter nodded and rubbed his forehead and then behind his ear.
"Sadly, we can't do much to help your overload." Tech sighed. "But getting some rest will help."
HUnter nodded and managed to go back to sleep.
The brothers were true to their word and stayed by HUnter. They took turns watching him and making sure he slept, ate, and drank. They checked his wound for infection and tried to keep it clean.
"It's looking a little better, but it's still very swollen and bruised." Echo stated as he examined the wound.
"You're starting to regain some of your color and you're looking a little more well-rested," Tech commented.
"When will I be out of here?" Hunter wondered.
"Not till this wound is completely healed."
"Well, can I at least move?"
"Not till the wound is healed."
Hunter huffed and looked down at his ration bar.
"You should all get some rest," Hunter suggested.
"Don't worry about us, sarge. We're fine. You're the one injured." Wrecker stated.
"Don't remind me."
"How are you feeling?" Echo wondered.
"Sore. Cold. Agitated." Hunter replied.
Crosshair grabbed another blanket and covered Hunter with it.
"You're barely eating." Echo commented.
"I don't have much of an appetite right now." Hunter sighed.
"Try to finish that ration bar."
Hunter managed to finish his ration bar and continued to rest.
A few days later, reinforcements arrived and so did the new supplies. Soon, Hunter was given proper medical treatment and was able to heal properly and be released a few days later. His brothers continued to care for him making sure that he recovered properly and didn't push himself too far. They were all happy when Hunter was fully recovered and able to join them on their missions.
