NCIS and SHIELD Divided c20
Bobbie shared a look with Maria as they both looked at the door to the room Sam was taken from and moved back in for an emergency surgery. It had been a week since she first came out of surgery but had remained in critical, she had only been moved from stable but critical and was in her own room. Bobbie was allowed in the room, her arm was in a sling her side was still bandaged and she hated that she had to remain on oxygen for a certain amount of time each day. Sam was not waking up and Maria could not enter the link not even her new one. Bobbie had been sitting on the couch chair, her parents and brothers had left to get some rest they had been staying at a place Stark had set up for them, when Stark realized that Sam was the one to make AIMEE (he met when he joined Fitz on a project) he was going to help out in any way that he could. Bobbie had been holding Sam's good hand as she looked over at the arm that was bandaged, both her legs were in casts the one with the pins in was resting on a pillow. Bobbie tried getting through their link but so far she could not, she kept hitting a wall. That was when her vitals spiked and doctors came in, after assessing her they kicked Maria and Bobbie out of the room. Bobbie then felt it, Sam was dying. Bobbie forced her way through the link shouting at her to fight, not to give up, begging her to stay with her. She had no idea if it worked but the doctors managed to bring her back when her heart stopped. They were now taking her back into surgery, Bobbie gave them permission to amputate. The arm had an infection and was travelling through her blood stream. If they wanted her to live it would have to go. Bobbie looked at Maria who was there with her holding her she was freaking out. Ellie had called her family back who came rushing back, now it was another waiting game.
"This is bullshit. You should have given them permission to amputate it earlier." George stated he was leaning on the wall looking at Bobbie.
"She wouldn't have wanted that."
"Bullshit, you don't know her." George stated Maria had to place her hand on Bobbie's shoulder to stop her from lashing out at the oldest brother.
"I do know her." Bobbie shouted back almost in a snarl only to stop when Maria made her look away from him.
"George." Her mother stated criticizing him
"He didn't mean that, everyone is just tense right now." Ellie stated looking at Bobbie who looked pissed off but did not do anything, Maria looked at Bobbie making sure she wouldn't attack before taking her hand back. He didn't apologize but he did not say anything else, his father went over to him telling him to go sit by their mother. Maria ended up kneeling in front of Bobbie noting the difficulty she was having breathing.
"What is it?" Maria asked
"Lungs haven't healed yet." Bobbie replied coughing so Ellie ended up going to get the portable oxygen tank and brought it over to her Bobbie pulled a face but let Maria place it on her. "Still annoying." Bobbie mumbled
"If it doesn't improve you will have to have the mask." Maria replied
"Perfect." Bobbie stated but was dripping sarcasm as she tried to breathe. The others were looking at her but she was ignoring the looks from the Bishop family. Ellie's phone rang after half an hour everyone seemed to look at her as she answered it.
"Eleanor." Her mother chastised.
"It's Gibbs." Ellie said shrugging mainly because she knew that Gibbs was looking for the man that did this, he had made it his mission to find the man responsible after all he hurt Ellie too. He bugged Maria until she agreed, but he was surprised at how easy he thought she would be playing this close to the vest but she had shared a number with him telling him that if he finds anything to inform them. That was when he realized she was not going to be leaving the hospital. She had her other pack members working this case led by Coulson, Natasha and Clint were researching everything that happened in Berlin, they had been briefed by Bobbie on what happened as they did not remember it when it happened. Then again the two of them were dealing with their own problems at the time (stopping an alien invasion). Everyone was rattled by New York, Maria was the one that dealt with the clean-up of Berlin…she was very stretched that day. Ellie spoke with him for a couple of minutes near the door trying to get distance from the others. She hung up and moved back over to the seat the others looking at her expectantly.
"He might have a lead…keeping me posted." Ellie replied, she really wanted to be there with her team when they found him, but she was needed here not just for her family but she knew Gibbs would never let her go she was still injured. She met Maria's gaze before looking at Bobbie who was looking at the door to where Sam was. She seemed pale, she looked from Bobbie back up to Maria who took the hint and looked down at her. She reached down onto her wrist taking her pulse
"I'm fine." Bobbie stated trying to take her hand back.
"You've exerted yourself." Maria stated holding onto her wrist noting how her pulse was weak. "Is this you doing this?" Maria asked knowing that Bobbie knew how to slow her pulse down.
"If I said yes, would you believe me?" Bobbie asked
"We need to get you back to your room." Maria said but Bobbie grabbed her arm stopping her.
"I can't go." Bobbie said looking up at her only to end up looking down and coughing wincing in pain as it hurt to cough. Her other hand moved to her side as she tried to clear her throat. Maria looked up and Sharon came over to them changing the nasal cord to a mask before connecting her to a heart monitor. "Is this necessary?" Bobbie asked
"Yes." Sharon replied, "or I can get the nurse and she will tell you to go back to the room."
"Copy that nurse Sharon." Bobbie stated giving her a small salute before smiling. "How long until this comes off?" Bobbie asked pointing to the mask.
"Until your oxygen levels rise. They are way too low." Sharon stated frowning at Bobbie. "You should have told us." Sharon added
"Been busy." Bobbie replied looking back at the door.
"It's going to be a couple hours before we hear anything, you should focus on you."
"I am focusing on me, by staying here and watching that door." Bobbie replied
"Bobbie we almost lost you…"
"I will be fine when I know Sam is." Bobbie interrupted
"Stubborn that is what you are." Sharon muttered before looking at Maria, Bobbie followed her she knew that if Maria ordered her to she would go back to the room, but she prayed Maria would not.
"Sharon is going to stay, keep an eye on you…if this does not improve your stats you will be going back to your room." Maria stated Bobbie begrudgingly agreed to it, before her attention was turned back to the door.
