A/N: Set in S01E01.
Martha takes her phone out of Clive's hand as he clutches at his knee. He looks so agonised, she can't help but feel concerned as she listens to Jake calling the ambulance. Nick is still at the top of the stairs.
"Try not to move," she tells Clive. "The ambulance is coming."
"Bloody hell," he grunts, still holding his knee. Martha glances up at Nick, who looks as worried as she does, although probably for different reasons.
When the paramedics arrive, Clive is lifted on to a stretcher and Martha follows him out to the ambulance. "Will he be okay?" she asks one of the paramedics.
"Just a sprain by the looks of it. He'll probably need crutches for a bit, but he'll live." The paramedic smiles reassuringly at her. "How did you fall down the stairs anyway?" he asks Clive.
Clive looks at Nick, who is trying to blend in with the other lawyers in the background, then looks at Martha. "I slipped," he mutters.
"Too much of a good time," says Martha. She leans in to Clive and says softly but firmly, "This wasn't Nick's fault."
"Would you really have called the police on me?" he asks.
"You would have deserved it." In fact she was calling her mum again, but she's not telling him that.
"Yeah well, your pupil may have crippled me, so let's call it even." He winces again as the stretcher is lifted into the ambulance.
"You'll be fine." She watches as the ambulance doors close and wishes she didn't care so much.
