Okay, here comes part 2
They reached the med bay together. Leonard was already pale due to the pain.
"Gideon…" Sara called out, she was a little anxious… This had all been her fault, she shouldn't have been playing that rough. "Len's hurt, can you fix him?"
"What seems to be the matter?" the AI powered up and spoke over the med bay's speaker system.
"Messed up my arm…" he revealed, still holding his right arm close to his torso.
"Okay, let me take some pictures…" the Gideon said, and Leonard was positive he heard her sigh. He had been in the med bay a few too many times by now.

"Well, nothing is broken in your shoulder, or your elbow… But you managed to dislocate both…" Gideon said, before she went on, "You do have a small fracture near your wrist, but it should heal in a few weeks with a cast."
"So… How do you plan to fix him?" Sara asked from where she stood right beside where Leonard was currently seated.
"His shoulder should pop back rather easily, his elbow might require a simple surgery…" the AI informed. "But I need him to take off the clothes on his upper body for both…"
Len frowned, it was painful enough just to exist. He really didn't want to struggle out of his sweaty workout clothes.
He looked from his arm and over to Sara, then back at his arm again.
"I'm going to need some help with this…" his eyes were locked on hers, as he flashed an innocent smile.
Sara nodded, and found the hem of his jumper with her fingers. She rolled it up past his abdomen, and stopped.
"Get your good arm free first?"
He nodded, still holding on to his injured right arm.
"You know, you're gonna have to let go of that arm to be able to get your other arm free…"
He nodded knowingly. "Not my first rodeo, sweetheart…"
He cussed under his breath as he helped his right arm rest in his lap. His face pulled all kinds of weird expressions as he tried to keep from screaming.
His breath hitched as the fabric of his jumper pulled under his injured shoulder. Sara stopped in her tracks.
"I'm sorry…"
"Keep going!" he bit out, his face hard and his teeth clenched together.
She nodded and continued what she had been doing.

Sara gasped as Leonard's shoulder came into view. It was less than 20 minutes since it had dislocated, but it was already mottled by dark bruising. And it was swelling…
"I know you like how I look… No need to gasp…" Len drawled sarcastically.
"Your shoulder…"
"Dislocated, I heard it too…" he grunted as his arm cramped even more.
"It looks bad…"
"Aha…" he sighed, "Can we just get this thing off me, and have Gideon pop me back?"
Sara nodded and continued to carefully undress Len.
His elbow looked even worse, it wasn't mottled by bruising… It was just one big bruise!
Leonard laid back on the exam table, he was close to passing out. He did not want to sit up for that, if it happened.
"I'm sorry…" Sara murmured as she guided the shirt over the swollen joint. She saw Leonard flinch, but he brushed it off like it had never happened.
"Darling, I'm fine…" he pulled a deep breath, regretting it as it shifted his shoulder, "Just get this shirt off of me so Gideon can do her thing…"
Sara nodded, her hands were shaking subtly.
"Relax, I'm fine…" he pulled her closer with his left arm. "I'll be alright…"
He lifted her chin, enough to place a kiss on her lips.
"I'm sorry… I shouldn't have…"
"Not your fault, honey…" a small smile tugged the corner of his mouth. "We were training, just learning each other to stay alive… Okay?"
She nodded, but she didn't really let herself believe his words.
LOTLOTLOT
Ten minutes later, Leonard's shoulder was back where it belonged, and he was under for surgery for his elbow.
Hope you enjoyed!
