"Swoops, check the area, make sure there are no other hazards." Phoebe told Swoops as she looked inside the crashed vehicle. Swoops flew outside as he soared around the area.
A teenage black girl soon emerged from the wreckage. She came out coughing.
"Young lady, are you hurt?"
The girl kept coughing. "I'm fine… I- I need help with my mom! She passed out and I didn't know what to do and she's having a seizure I think…!"
"Alright, listen to me, get yourself to safety over there, help will soon be here." Phoebe tried calming the girl.
"Please, you have to help her!" The girl cried. "I need you over there, help is on the way."
Phoebe wanted to use her radio but couldn't blow her cover.
The QR Jet raced across the sky as it flew back to Hillwood.
"Almost there…"
"I want the area secured. Check for any injuries, and we'll have to work fast, structure could be compromised so we don't know how long we have. And let's hope there's no fire hazards." Arnold told the team.
"I'll be your eye in the sky, as always." Sapphire said. "No, I want you with us. The integrity of the building is unknown and I'll need your help stabilizing it."
"You got it!"
The QR Jet neared the mansion as two firetrucks and an ambulance were approaching.
"I seriously wonder whether the driver was drunk or what. How the hell does this happen?" Gerald soon asked. "We'll worry about it later, let's focus on any injuries and the integrity of the building."
"Surprising how late it is right now." Rhonda pointed out. "It's like seven-forty right now." Gerald added.
The QR Jet soon landed on the front lawn as it couldn't anywhere near. The landing gear soon touched down, and the Vigilantes were ready for another long day.
"Shadow! Guys! Get over here now! The mother is starting to have a seizure!" The captain said. Two paramedics were inside as they had her on the stretcher, but her body was starting to shake.
"Sapphire! Get the structure stable now! Gerald, check the engine of that RV now! *radio static* Ariel, Nadine, once you two arrive, I want you with the medics and stabilizing the mother, she's having a seizure, and every second counts! Move it!" Arnold ordered.
"Now that's new…" A firefighter said as he saw Sapphire stabilizing the structure with her ring.
Later
"Twenty-Three, I want a line ready near the RV, we don't know the stability of that vehicle.
The cardiac monitor was going off as her blood pressure was going off.
"No! No!"
She ripped out the IV as she was moving too much. Nadine immediately took care of the bleeding spot where the IV was aggressively ripped out due to the seizure.
"Get her stabilized before we transport!"
"Flyer! I need you here!" Ariel and Nadine rushed over. "Spinelli! We could use some extra muscle!"
"We can't get an IV in if she's moving that much!" Ariel said as multiple people were trying to hold her down. "UGH!" Spinelli got elbowed by the woman. "You okay?" Rhonda looked over.
"I'm fine."
"If nothing works, a bone gun is our only option! You know that, right?" The captain said.
"OW!" Arnold got smacked by the mother. "C'mon! Hold her down!"
"With no IV… we can't get any fluids in her to calm her down!"
"Guys! It's been twenty minutes since she's been here, she needs a hospital now!" The paramedic said. "Bone gun it is! Just hold her as steady as possible!" Ariel exclaimed as she reached for the bone gun.
"Right into the tibia, the only way." Many of them held her leg as steady as possible. Ariel started drilling the needle into the tibia.
"She's spiking, Flyer!"
"I'm almost there….!" Ariel then injected some fluids. Her vitals were getting stable as the cardiac monitor stopped. "Get her to the ambulance! GO! GO! GO! GO!" Arnold, Ariel, and the paramedics immediately rushed her outside to the ambulance awaiting.
"Mom! The daughter has passed out! She's a diabetic!" Olivia told her mother.
"Hang on, dear!"
Several crumbling bits of the garage fell, mostly dust.
Spinelli soon came back in as she went to inspect the RV.
"Spin, I need you for a sec." Nadine started. "Ugh. Hang on, just gimme a minute!" Spinelli was trying to pull out a metal piece of the garage
What she didn't know was that the metal piece was stuck onto a wire.
"There!" After a couple of minutes, Spinelli yanked out the metal, slitting the wire. "Alright, what do you want?"
A broken phone from the crash was hidden, along with air from the RV, only leading to something severe… Sparks from the phone were growing until...
BOOM!
CRASH!
An explosion went off, knocking back several firefighters, including knocking them out. Fortunately, the fire was small but the explosion was big but was contained by the garage.
Fires were being extinguished as many firefighters were being helped up. Arnold, Gerald, Ariel, paramedics, and firefighters were helping them out as the fires were being extinguished.
The integrity of the building was still intact, but the majority of the area was stained with black smoke, along with many broken car windows that were owned by Arnold and the others.
"Shadow! Shadow, you alright?" Rhonda came up to him along with Olivia and the diabetic girl. "I'm fine. Thankfully everyone else is." The two hugged after.
"I see you made a new friend?" Arnold smirked at Olivia. "Dad!"
"Ohmaigawd. HE'S YOUR DAD?" The girl asked Olivia. She nodded as she smiled at him."And she's my mother." Olivia smiled at her mother. "Pleasure to meet you…" Arnold greeted.
"Rose. Evelin Rose." She shook his hand. "Ah. Named after a flower, I see. How wonderful." Arnold smiled. "Should've had that idea, dummy." Arnold teased Rhonda. "Aye, her name is perfect the way it is!" Rhonda slapped his back playfully.
"Alright Rose, your mother is in great hands and you'll soon get to see her again, alright? We're glad you two are alright."
"Alright Shadow, I think it's time we overview the situation now that every threat seems to have passed." Rhonda told Arnold, and he then nodded. The two turned around and Arnold soon got on his radio.
Hours Later
It was around two in the morning, the garage door was all patched up by Sapphire since there was no other option. The destroyed vehicle was towed away from the wreckage. The garage needed cleaning, and the owned vehicles needed cleaning and repairing.
Everyone was exhausted and were all ready for bed. Arnold would have a bit of an awkward encounter…
"Hey, Spin, I just want a word with you regarding…" Arnold opened her room door and saw her completely naked. She was looking in the mirror to see whether she had wounds from earlier.
"Arnold, get out!" Spinelli forced him out as his cheeks were red hot. "Look, I'm sorry I walked in on you like that! I-"
"Just because you own the place, doesn't mean we can't have our privacy, y'know!"
Spinelli then sighed. She immediately opened her room door and tried covering her breasts. "Look, I forgive you since you're my leader and I don't wanna have problems. Sound cool? 'Kay. Love you as my friend, and go to sleep already!" Spinelli peered her head out as her soft lips pressed against Arnold's cheek briefly.
She immediately got her head back inside her room and closed the door. Arnold's cheeks were even hotter since it was the first time he felt Spinelli's lips. "I never knew her lips were so soft…" He said to himself.
Spinelli peered her head out again, but not covering her breasts this time. She didn't say a word as she put both her hands behind Arnolds' ears and pressed her lips against his.
Arnold was wide-eyed, surprised as he didn't expect this to happen.
Spinelli kissed him intensely and soon separated. A thin line connected the two.
"Before you say anything…" Spinelli started as she panted. "First, this was the first kiss of my damn life, and secondly… this NEVER happened… So uh… we still on good terms?"
Arnold paused. "We're still good. And Spinelli? Never in my life did I expect to be your first kiss."
"I know you're married but I- I just couldn't resist! Ok?" Her cheeks started getting hot. "Look, I- I gotta get some sleep. You sleep as well and I love you as my closest friend!" Spinelli then gave a quick peck on Arnold's nose. Her cheeks were bright red by the time she went back into her room.
Spinelli just jumped in bed, questioning her feelings. Arnold only stood extremely confused but just decided to head over to his bedroom.
Spinelli facepalmed. "Oh my goodness, great… Not only do I kiss the guy, but I also admit he was my first kiss…! I work with the guy, he's my leader and mentor, my closest friend… I- Why did I just have to KISS the guy?! I can't be in love with him! I- I've never… I've never… I…" Spinelli then paused. She then went wide-eyed for a moment. "Am- Am I… developing feelings for him? I worked with him for years and I never had those kinds of feelings! He has a wife and daughter! I can't have him cheat behind their backs!" Spinelli sighed as just tucked herself in with her bedsheets. "I think I am… in love with my closest friend…"
"Hey, Rhonda! You won't guess what-…" Arnold then blushed furiously as he saw her. Completely naked in bed. "What are you staring at, sweetie? Don't you want to feel the smoothness of your wifey?" Rhonda smirked. She motioned him over as he soon took off his t-shirt.
Arnold crawled into bed and he held her by the waist. Arnold gave a few flirty kisses on her neck as Rhonda bit her lip.
Arnold gave a few more before he slid his hand on her thigh. Arnold then rested his head on her shoulder. "Arnold? You feeling okay?" Rhonda noticed something off. "Eh, how can I really say… With everything that's been happening. The garage, a chandelier accident, a garment factory fire, the Militia, and not to mention the arsonist on the loose. It's just been so much…"
"Oh, Arnold… I can't tell you just how bad I feel for you…" Rhonda caressed his cheek. "Tell you what, how about some cuddles tonight to help that sourpuss mood of yours? It's been a stressful day."
Arnold smiled. "I'd love that." Rhonda smiled as well. "So, after tonight, are we headed back to Chicago?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Just askin'. Love you, sweetheart." Rhonda kissed his cheek. Arnold kissed Rhonda's nose as he rubbed his cheek against hers. The two got comfortable in bed as Arnold tucked themselves in.
This was written way before the experimental Arnold x Spinelli story I currently have going... But yeah I don't know whether I'll write more moments between the two here...
