Kisses can fix even bomb wounds

A/N: Sorry this took me so much time, I wanted it to be perfect. It still isn't in my opinion but whatever. Enjoy.

50 seconds. That was all the time they had to leave the building before the bomb would went off. They were running as fast as they could, racing down the stairs. Jack was just behind Peggy, pressing her to ran faster, wanting her to be out of range.

They just made out through the backdoor exit when the first blast of the explosion hit them, the shockwave throwing them a few yards away onto the hard ground. Her head almost hitting the concrete with the force of the blast.

The other agents were also on the ground trying to protect their own body and ears. Peggy felt the heat of the fearful explosion above her as someone covered up her head with its hands and a body shielded hers.

The noise of windows glass shattering could be heard due to the explosion. There was likely smoke and fire too, rushing out everywhere. She laid down in semi-blindness amid chaos, fighting to stay conscious. Her head, specially her ears were hurting but she would manage. The body over hers was starting to get heavy and she was trying to roll over so she could free herself. She rolled the body on its back and gasped when she saw who it was.

"Oh my god. Jack!" She shout, reaching for his neck to see if there was a pulse.

Jack could feel the pain throbbing in his guts, it was deep and warm, but not in a nice way. It was like someone was squeezing his organs. He tried to breathe but even that was painful. He hadn't the strength to open his eyes, his ears were buzzing, he had trouble breathing like his lungs were being smashed by a heavy rock, that were his last thoughts before he lost conscious.

"Jack!" Peggy called again. He was unconscious and blood was running out of his temple. She couldn't see if he was hurt anywhere else because of the limited light at that time of the night.

Panic was rushing all over her. She yelled to the others agents of the team to call an ambulance, one man was down. Peggy kept her fingers on his pulse, in a way to reassure herself of him being alive.

She took a look at the building, a huge cloud of dust had arose as the building started to crumble down, ashes were everywhere, falling on their heads. Incredible that a bomb of that size could do so much damage. Her gaze came back to Jack.

"C'mon Thompson, you better not die before I have a chance to kick your ass for what you just did!" She yelled angrily at his closed eyes, a hint of worry could be heard in her voice even though she was trying to cover it.

The wait at the hospital was horrible. Nobody would tell her anything. Peggy after being checked out by a doctor, was discharged having only a few minor cuts on her face. For the most part she was alright thanks to Jack.

Daniel had arrived as soon as he heard the news. Both of them were now waiting for an update on Jack's situation. Daniel was sitting on a chair in the waiting room while Peggy was pacing back and forth unable to sit down. She was not only worried but also angry, nervous and feeling guilty all at the same time.

"Could you stop? You're making me nervous." Daniel said. Peggy stopped and looked at him.

"It's been two hours, Daniel."

"Yes I know."He stood up to face her.

"If he was okay, we would know it already." She said biting her lip.

"Peggy, calm down." Daniel took her by the shoulders. "Why don't you go home, take a shower and rest. I'll call you as soon as we have some news." He told her.

"And lose the opportunity to be the first to kick his ass when he wakes up?" She asked. "No way." Her eyes were full of anger but Daniel knew deep down that it was her way to cover up her worries about Jack.

He knew that their relationship wasn't the best at the moment but it didn't mean that they didn't cared about each other.

Finally a nurse came into the room looking for them. Peggy was in front of her in no time asking an hundred of questions.

"How is he doing? Does he have any mortal injuries? Is he going to be alright? Has he said anything?" She asked in a breath.

"Calm down. He's fine, he has a small concussion, and his back isn't in its best shape but he'll survive." At those words Peggy let out a breathe that she didn't realised she was holding. It was like a weight had been removed from her chest.

"Can we see him?" It was Daniel who asked.

"Let's wait for tomorrow morning. He's sleeping right now." She informed them.

When Jack woke up, the first thing he saw was a concerned Peggy by his side. She was stroking the back of his hand in a comfort gesture. He blinked a few times getting used to the light of the room. A few seconds past and his eyes were finally able to focus on her face.

"Hey beautiful." He said in a hoarse voice while with his free hand he touched his bandage on his head.

"How you feeling?" She asked with a soft voice.

"My head hurts," He tried to straighten himself. "My back too." He winced.

"Serves you right!" She scolded.

That sudden raised tone, surprised Jack.

"What?" He frowned.

"This is by far the dumbest thing you've ever done." She continued.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me."

"What was dumb? Protecting you?" He asked outraged "You're welcome." Hr said in a ironic tone.

"What you did was unnecessary and almost got you killed."

"Well, sorry for caring for you!"

"Caring doesn't mean you have to put your life on the line."

"Better me than you!" He shouted, then winced and rubbed his head. All this noise had made the pain come back. The room turned silent as both ducked their heads at fault.

"I- I'm sorry."Peggy said when she saw he was in pain. "I shouldn't have raised my voice." Jack shook his head.

"No. It's alright."

"I guess, I was just scared…" She trailed off. "Frightened of losing you." She stared at his blue eyes. Then she broke away, glancing at the ground. "Anyway. Thanks for saving my life." She said in a soft voice.

"Nevermind." He shrugged.

"I know these past few weeks our relationship hasn't been the same..." She said. "But I wanted you to know that even after all of that," She then stood up to sit next to him on the bed. "I still care about you." She looked into his eyes and gave his hand a small squeeze.

Having her face so close to his, made Jack reach for her face, to make sure she wasn't a dream. He cupped her face, his thumb rubbing over her cheek. That gentle caress made her close her eyes. She had missed his touch.

Without realise she draw her face close, leaning her forehead against his. Their noses rubbed together and he could feel the sweet taste of her breath. He lowered his mouth brushing his lips against hers. Jack held her head gently with one hand as his mouth settled over hers. It was a warm, gentle kiss and it felt so right.

Their lips were moving in perfect unison. Peggy sucked on his lower lip and for a second Jack thought he had gone to heaven. She ran her hand along the back of his head and laced her fingers in his hair by his neck. Peggy felt her heart thumping in her chest as Jack was kissing her.

"Peggy." Jack moaned as he pulled her close to his chest so she would lay down on the bed with him. He kissed her again, this time with passion, his fingers on her brown locks. Peggy kissed him back, her lips parting as they moved with his. She shamelessly wound her right leg around his hip, molding her body tightly to his. Jack's hand left her hair and start to stroke the back of her leg which was over his while his warm lips nibbled and sucked her lower lip. Peggy draw the tip of her tongue along the inner edge of his mouth making Jack groan and pull her even closer.

"Oups. Sorry for the interruption." A young nurse said while walking into the room.

The couple broke apart, and Peggy sat back on her chair blushing, leaving Jack's side.

"I see you are in perfect shape, Agent Thompson." The nurse teased as she check up his vitals.

"I guess you're right."Jack nodded with a big smile.

"Don't worry Mrs Thompson, your husband will be out of here in no time." The nurse said meaning as comfort words while monitoring Jack's vitals signs.

"Oh I'm not ..." Peggy started at the same time Jack said,

"She isn't mine..." They both stopped in the middle of their sentences looking at each other.

The nurse didn't seemed to realise the misunderstood and kept doing her job.

"Your vitals are good but we'll keep you for a few more nights, just to be sure." She informed. "The doctor will pass by later on okay?" She gave Jack a warm smile. "See you tomorrow morning when I'll change your bandage." The nurse said before leaving the room.

"I should get blown up more often if I get this much attention." Jack teased which earned him a smack from Peggy on the arm.

"Stupidity results in death in my classroom." She scolded him which only made him laugh.

"But it was definitely worth it." He winked, pulling her by the hand to kiss her once more.

Peggy sighed into the kiss happily and broke apart to rest her forehead against his.

"Oh lord, grant me the patience to deal with you. Next time I'll shoot you, smartass." She warned.

"I dunno, it has its bright side." He seemed to think about it. "One of them being: seeing you all hot and bothered. You're pretty sexy when you're angry." He laughed, stealing her a kiss as she tried to pull away from him. He then proceed to kiss her neck.

"Shut up, you git." She said, trying to hold back a moan. He knew neck kisses were her weak point.

"Make me." He dared against her ear.

"With pleasure." She purred.
