Last chapter :( I'm sorry for those of you who wanted it to go longer... I just didn't want it to feel like it was dragging on...

We know the drill, the only person I own is Anja. Also, to the guest reviewer, I'm sorry you wanted less Anja XD I'm sorry there was more of her than you wanted, but I'm glad you stuck with the story anyway :)

That also goes to everyone, I'm super grateful for all of your comments and follows and favs, they really do help keep me going :)

More AN at the bottom, but for now, let's get this chapter started finally XD

MacGyver sat on the one nice chair in the room next to Anja's bed, dozing off as he waited for her to wake up. The doctors had told him that she would be waking up soon, and he wanted to be there when she did, just to provide a familiar face. However, it was taking longer than he had thought, and the last time he'd slept was that moment in the tree with Anja, and that was only an hour at most.

He continued drifting in and out of consciousness for the next several minutes, until he heard the woman next to him let out a gentle sigh, and suddenly his eyes were wide open. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked around, and when she didn't recognize where she was, her heart rate began spiking on the monitor.

"Anja, hey," Mac said, putting a hand on her arm. Her gaze shot over to him lightning fast, but when she realized who it was, her breathing began evening out, and she gave him a small smile. "You're at the hospital, you're fine," he assured her. Anja glanced around the room again and realized her friend was right.

"Vasiliev?" she asked. Mac smiled back and nodded.

"Got 'em all," he assured her.

"That is good," she said sleepily.

"Hey," MacGyver added before she could fall back asleep. "I never said thank you for coming to get me."

Anja scoffed gently and rolled her eyes. "Yes, some hero I turn out to be," she said beratingly to herself. "You are one saving me from everything, and then I get shot."

"Hey," MacGyver said, wagging his finger at her. "No one talks about my friend like that. Besides, you did better than me on my first solo op," he added. Anja quirked an eyebrow at that.

"What happened?"

"Technically it's classified, but it involved a weathervane, copper wire, and a disgraced MI6 agent."

That made Anja chuckle, and Mac followed suit, until Anja began coughing, then they both stopped.

"The bullet missed anything vital," he informed her. "It was through and through. You're gonna be just fine."

"Only thanks to you," she said with a grateful smile.

"Stop," Mac said, shaking his head at her in mock exasperation. She smiled back at him playfully, but then it transitioned into awkward grimace.

"What does Matty say about me leaving?"

Mac shrugged. "She's not especially happy, but what she put on her report was that you went for a walk and stumbled upon Vasiliev's cabin. Unofficially, she says she would have done the same thing. Coming from Matty, that's high praise."

Anja nodded, then after a moment of comfortable silence, she took in a deep breath and closed her eyes, settling back into the pillows as she prepared to fall back asleep.

"Maybe next time we just hang out together, da?" Anja suggested tiredly as she rolled over onto her uninjured side. Mac chuckled.

"Yeah," he agreed. "I'd be okay with that."

With a content sigh and smile, Anja fell back asleep. MacGyver sat there a moment longer, then stood up and walked out of the medical center.

He made his way to the war room, moving slower than normal thanks to the stiffness in his back and torso. His shrapnel injury had required stitches, but the rest of his injuries were superficial, and would go away in a few days.

He opened the door to the war room and came upon Matty, Riley, Jack and Bozer waiting for him.

"How's Anja?" Bozer asked.

"She's fine," Mac replied. "Woke up for a minute, but she's asleep again."

"Which is where you should be," Jack griped. MacGyver shook his head.

"I'm fine, Jack," he insisted.

"I actually agree with Dalton on this one, Mac," Matty said. Jack's eyebrows raised. "Don't say anything," Matty warned without even looking at the older agent. Jack shut his mouth, but was still giving Matty a smug 'I was right' look behind her back. "Wipe that look off your face Dalton, or I'll do it myself," Matty threatened, once again without turning around.

Jack pouted, but he did as Matty ordered.

"Mac, just go home, take it easy," Matty instructed. "I think the world can survive a few days without you, but if we do need you, we'll call you in."

MacGyver hesitated. He didn't want to leave, but the more he thought about it, the more he realized how tired he was. His body was begging him to just take a minute and rest. Finally, the agent nodded.

"I'll be back tomorrow," he stated. Matty narrowed her eyes at him.

"Make it the day after and I won't make Jack go check on you to make sure you're bedridden," she compromised. Mac chuckled, but he nodded.

"Fine," he agreed.

"Thank you," Matty replied. Mac stood there for a moment, and Matty raised her eyebrows at him. "The longer you stay here, the longer I'm going to deny your access card to the building, Blondie."

"Come on," Jack said. "I'll take you home." He guided his friend through the door, and together, the two of them made their way to Jack's car.

"Think she'd actually block my key card?" Mac asked jokingly as he and Jack got in the car. Jack raised his eyebrows at his friend.

"Oh, I guarantee she's already locked you out for the next two days," Jack confirmed. Mac wasn't sure if Jack was joking or not; sometimes it was really hard to tell with him, especially when it came to Matty. As Jack revved the engine and took off towards Mac's house, MacGyver leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

The gentle hum of the engine, along with the smooth road they were traveling, soon put MacGyver in a more relaxed state than he'd been in the past few days. As he began drifting off, he made a promise to himself that he was going to call Anja soon.

Jack looked over at his friend as the blond drifted off to sleep. He didn't want to admit it to Mac, but Jack had actually been really worried about the blond, no matter how calm and cool Jack pretended to be. It was good to have Mac back, and even though he was being stubborn and refusing to see someone after he got stitched up, that was just Mac. And honestly, Jack wouldn't change a thing.

Also, this should come as no surprise to any of you that I suck at endings. So I'm sorry this was so bad XD I also feel like Mac was OOC, so apologies for that as well...

But! As I was saying earlier, thank you to everyone for your support on this story! I've got my season finale tag (Which I'm still trying to figure out how long to make it), and like, three other stories for MacGyver that I'm currently working on, so hopefully I'll be back soon!

Until I am back though, I hope you all have a fantastic time, and I will see you when I see you!
