Original Title: (Will You) Be My Superhero
Shoving people out of her way, Santana finally saw Brittany. She kind of looked like she could be sleeping, if it weren't for her left arm being bent so crookedly. Angry looking scratches marred the side of her face. Cory, the track owner, was crouched beside her, checking her pulse.
"She's alive!" Cory shouted to everyone. Hearing this, the floodgates of Santana's control broke. She fell on her knees, her body wracking with sobs. Despite popular belief, Santana was never the strong one. Brittany was always the one to hold her when she was scared or sad. Brittany always knew what to do. Now, Santana was just trying to hold herself together. She crawled up to Brittany's side, fully seeing the extent of the fall's damage. Santana grabbed Brittany's right hand and held it tight, desperately trying to be there for her broken girlfriend.
"It's o-okay baby," Santana forces a smile, that doesn't reach her tear stained eyes, "I got you. Sanny's right here and she's not leaving."
"Someone called 911 and they're on their way" Cory tells her. Santana barely registers his voice. All she can focus on is Brittany's broken, angelic face. Cory continues "Buck didn't get enough distance from Britt and their bikes collided in mid air." He looks over at the other crowd of people, "It's a good thing he's such a beast. Most people don't survive when their helmet comes off. Luckily Brittany isn't an idiot, and can properly secure her helmet."
Santana looks up suddenly, "If she doesn't make it, I'm gonna go over there and kill him!" Her eyes were like fire. She started to make a move to go over and show this Buck how she really felt, but Cory put a hand on her.
"Nah, leave him for now. He's pretty messed up. I don't think he's really awake yet. I think he broke both his arms trying to break his own fall."
"Good. He deserves all of that and more." Santana says viciously. Cory silently chuckled at her extremely negative attitude.
"I'm just sayin'. Wait till he recovers before you do any real damage, okay?"
Santana sighs. She really wasn't in the mood to go kick his ass anyway. Not when she still had Brittany's soft hand in hers. She wouldn't let go of her for anything.
"Mmhmm..Wha?" says a very quiet voice. Santana looks down to see Brittany's eyes slowly open.
"Oh my god, Britt! Baby, can hear you hear me?" Santana leans in close to Brittany's face.
"Mhm...San...What's going on?" Brittany tries to move, but Santana stops her immediately.
"No, Britt, you have to stay very still, alright? You broke your left arm and you can screw it up if you move at all. Also, we don't know if your back or neck is hurt. So just hold my hand tight, okay baby? I'm right here for you." Santana gave Brittany what she hoped was a reassuring smile. Inside, it took everything Santana had to not break down in front of her angel.
Brittany spoke slightly louder than she had before, but it was still pretty shaky. "Okay, I won't move a muscle." Britt's strong blue eyes connected with Santana's worried brown ones.
"Don't worry about me, Sanny. I'm part superhero, remember? I even flew. If that doesn't allow me into the superhero Hall of Fame, then I don't know what will." Brittany smiled weakly at the line.
Santana chuckled, despite the crippling fear that held her heart. Even when she was broken, Brittany always knew how to comfort her. Brittany was stronger than anyone would ever know.
"Oh you don't need no Hall of Fame to tell you that," Santana replied, "You've have been, and always will be my hero." Brittany gasped lightly, beaming at Santana. Tears fell from the blonde's face.
"You never told me."
"I thought you would have figured it out by now." Santana chuckles at her own foolishness, "You're my everything, Britt-Britt. You hold me together just as I'm ready to fall apart. You keep me safe when I'm scared. You love me, despite my terrible flaws. No other hero could do it better."
"Your flaws aren't terrible." Brittany says in a small voice, awestruck by Santana's revelation. "They're what make you special."
"Yeah, I must be pretty freakin' special to have such an amazing girlfriend like you." Santana's heart rose to her throat at the truth of those words. Both girl's heard sirens approaching. The ambulance was finally here.
Brittany looked panicked as she stared up into Santana's face. "Y-you're not leaving, right? I...I know I'm a superhero and all, but I really can't do this alone."
"Shh, Britt. I'm not going anywhere." Santana cupped Brittany's cheek with care, flashing her a smile. "What's a superhero without her damsel?"
Brittany giggled a little, but the pain in her ribs made her wince. Santana noticed immediately, and went into "Protective Girlfriend" mode.
Santana yelled to everyone and no one in particular. "Can we PLEASE get some hustle over here? Brittz is dying here, and the ambulance has yet to drive their lazy asses up here!"Santana looked around at the onlookers in frustration.
"GO GET THEM BEFORE I ENDS YOU ALL!" Quickly, most of the crowd ran over to the ambulance to direct them over to the two girls.
"That's my girl." Brittany chirps quietly. "She's my superhero."
Santana looks over at Britt in confusion. "Wait, I am?"
"Well...if you want to." Brittany takes her bottom lip between her teeth, "Will you be my superhero?"
Santana stares deeply into Brittany's eyes, emotions flying across her face faster than Brittany could read them. "Babe, I will always be your superhero. Nothing will ever change that."
"Good." Brittany smiles.
The sweet moment is interrupted by a number of men in white uniforms, as they rush to tend to Brittany's injuries. Santana is forced to let go of her hand, but makes sure she's in sight, constantly reassuring the blonde, finally reunited as they traveled to the hospital in the ambulance. Through the pain of resetting Brittany's arm, to the final trip back home, Santana never left Brittany's side. And as this dreadful day came to a close, Brittany and Santana cuddled in their bed, content to be in each others' arms.
A/N: Well...I have my feelings about this ending, but I want your input more than anything. Also, I am going to change this story to completed, but I am currently dabbling with an alternate ending, so that might get posted in the future. Hope you liked it!
