Littlebitstormy said: Okay. So, y'know our favourite squid? Yup, what would happen if Gordo was injured and wasn't allowed to swim or go to any missions? Injury and activity is at your discretion! Just a bunch of fluff really xD (whichever series you find good for this :)! )
I give you:
Bored.
Bored, Bored, Bored, Bored, Bored.
Bored.
Gordon looked at his leg and arm, one in plaster, one with a brace, and sighed. At least the neck brace was gone. Now all he needed to do is wait and heal.
OMG – HE WAS SO BORED.
He rang the little bell that Alan had place on the table beside him in the hope that someone would appear – someone other than Parker preferably – but nobody loved him today.
He pouted. Which was really pointless when you're on your own, so Gordon huffed a sigh and shouted instead to the one person he knew would be listening.
'EOS?'
'Yes, Gordon?'
'Where is everyone?'
'Scott and Virgil are out on a rescue with Lady Penelope. John is directing them. Your Grandmother is on the mainland with Kayo. Parker is doing something with FAB1.'
'I'm bored, EOS.'
'What would you like to do?'
'What can I do? I'm useless!'
He thumped his good arm down on the couch and bit the inside of his cheek, willing himself not to cry. He'd never felt so helpless. Well, not since…no, not going there.
'They are on their way back, Gordon.'
'Thank you, EOS.'
'Can I do anything to help you, Gordon?'
Could EOS do anything to help? Well, if she wanted to cheer him up…
'I can think of something…'
Thunderbird one slid home smoothly and Scott sighed with relief. The rescue had been intense and he ached all over just from that, let alone the bruises he knew he must have garnered from being thrown around.
He climbed out of One onto the platform and thought about what he would do once he got back up to the living area. Coffee was high on the list, followed by food and then reports. Rest came way down that list…but it was there somewhere.
Scott stepped onto his platform and closed his eyes while the bots got busy stripping his uniform and redressing him, his mind already elsewhere…
Gordon was ready, perched on the couch with his camera in hand as Scott's chute spun his brother round.
*Flash*
Scott opened his eyes at the flash. To realise he was standing there in his boxers. He looked at Gordon, who was hugging his stomach with his good hand.
He was too tired for this.
'John?'
'Yes Scott?'
'You need to talk to EOS.'
'Why, wha…oh. Don't worry, I will.'
John appeared in the middle of the conversation, took one look at Scott then at Gordon and disappeared again with a sigh.
Scott wanted to be mad at the pair of them, but the truth was that this was the first time he'd heard Gordon laugh since the incident, and he'd take the humiliation that made that possible.
The sound of Two coming into land made both of them glance in the direction Virgil would appear, and Scott took one glance at Gordon's face and retreated.
Maybe as the eldest, most responsible brother he should warn Virgil….nah…
