The Fear Of Needles

Hello, everyone. This prompt was suggested by Roscava Sliena Natasha. Enjoy.

The experimentation the batch endured left scars on all of them. Inside and out. Each member had a fear that grew out of their torture. And only they knew. Some people think that what happened to them as cadets wasn't that bad because… well, they seemed to be over their fears. But that couldn't be farther from the truth. The batch's fears grew stronger and when Echo and Omega joined, it still grew strong.

Hunter was always afraid of needles. Whenever he had to be given a needle, he would fight or run away. Most of the time, he didn't need injections, but there were a few times when he did need them. This time was no exception.

There had been an explosion nearby and Hunter was hit. When the batch arrived, they saw that Hunter was severely injured, but conscious.

"I have to give him a hypo and we will have to put him on fluids when we get back to the ship," Tech stated.

"NO. No needles." Hunter rasped.

"You'll need something, Hunter." Crosshair stated. Hunter started fighting and Crosshair had to hold him down while Tech examined him.

Hunter laid on an examination table in a kaminoan lab. He watched as a Kaminoan carelessly put an iv in his arm. Hunter whimpered as he felt his arm grow larger all of a sudden.

"Please, it hurts. It hurts so much." Hunter cried. The Kaminoan didn't listen. Hunter continued to whimper and cry.

"We must remove the needle. His vein has burst. We must treat it." Nala Se stated.

"It is not necessary." The other Kaminoan stated.

"This clone is my experiment, not yours. We must treat this vein."

They removed the needle and placed it in the other arm. The kaminoan treated the vein and Hunter cried in pain. Then he felt fluids being pumped into his body. All he felt was pain in his arm, but before he could scream, his mouth was kept shut. Hunter tried to close his eyes but was forced to watch the kaminoan treat his arm.

Hunter looked down at his arm panicking. He continued to fight Crosshair till he passed out.

When he woke, he was in his bunk on the Marauder. He remembered what had happened and he gasped and looked down at his arms, but found no needles.

"Tech didn't have to put a needle in. You were lucky." Crosshair said. Hunter relaxed and Crosshair examined him. "You'll need to take it easy. Luckily, we were able to treat all of your injuries."

"I still can't… get over that day. That test. I still feel like I'm there." Hunter croaked.

"It'll probably never go away."

"Yeah."

Hunter recovered, but his fear continued to grow. Luckily, he had a family willing to help him through it.
