Canard had completely forgotten about the wound he received yesterday. He turned so Danielle could take a look at his arm. Very carefully, she unwrapped the bandage, and removed the cotton pad. The bleeding had stopped, thankfully."If you're going to take a shower,' Danielle told him.'Then be very gentle with your cuts."

"You got it."

The captain was planning to take a shower since he had some time before his shift started. When he came out, he was fully dressed, Save for his boots, knee pads, and chest armor. Danielle looked up from a book she was reading, and got right back to work on Canard's arm. But because the scars were still tender, Danielle decided to apply some disinfectant spray. "I'm afraid this will sting a bit."

The sting wasn't terrible, but Canard masked the pain anyway. Then Danielle, put on a fresh cotton pad and some fresh bandages."Your scars will take a while to heal. I would say it needs a month. Make sure to apply fresh bandages every once in a while and if you see any red around the cuts, just tell me." She instructed.

"Thanks, you're gonna do great for the resistance." Canard smiled at the cream-colored duck, and the latter just looked away, shyly.

"Well, I wouldn't say that…"

"I would."

As time went on, Danielle started to grow accustomed to her new daily routine. Tending to the sick and injured, it was one thing to study about it, but to actually do it for yourself in real life is a whole different experience. Every new patient the Medical Bay had, Danielle read up on said patients medical information. She would attend to every duck, have some small talk with them.

Lunch with her comrades is very uneventful. Amy and Abby would try to strike up a conversation with her but Danielle didn't really have that much to much she wanted to say anyway,

But at the end of the day, she would spend some time with Canard, the two of them just getting to know each other. They would exchange how their day went, leading up to stories on their lives before the war.

"...I don't think the kids are going to try that stunt again."

"Oh, that reminds me of the time when Nosedive…"

Exchanging stories and laughs, Danielle didn't realize it but she was really enjoying Canard's company.

Once in a while, Canard would be out late on a mission. So Danielle will just keep herself busy, by restocking the medicines, and other supplies. And secretly hoping Canard will come back safely.

One afternoon, as they were finishing lunch, the three Medics were visited by Thom.

" 'Scuse me ladies, but Marcel forgot his pills again."

"Oh, that Marcel,' Amy chuckled. 'The vial's in its usual spot Thom."

The drake made a dash for the cabinet, and found the vial of pills. Then he smiled at Amy. "Thanks, Hon. I'll see you later, tonight."

Amy smiled and giggled, "See you tonight, darling."

After he left the female goose looked back at our fellow medics. She sighed. "Oh, isn't he just wonderful?" Then she went on about relationships and how good they can be. Abby joined in on the conversation. However, while she didn't show it, Danielle didn't feel comfortable with where this was going. Let's just say her last relationship didn't turn out so well.

"How about you Danielle?"

The cream colored duck looked up. "Huh?"

"Y'all got a special someone in mind?" Abby asked.

Danielle shook her head."Not...not really."

"Well, what about the captain?" Amy asked. Danielle just looked at her shoes, nervously.

"Who? Captain Thunderbeak?"

"No, Cap'n Feathersword. A'course Cap'n Thunderbeak." Abby teased.

Danielle looked around. She needed something to get her outta there, and then she remembered. The meeting! Danielle glanced up at the clock, 10 minutes before the meeting started, but better to leave now.

"Uh...I'm sorry girls. I've been invited to take part in this week's meeting and I'd like to get going, please."

Before the two geese could say anything else Danielle quickly left the Medical Bay. Meanwhile, Canard was in his dorm. He was organizing some paperwork when Greybeak and Wally came in.

"Hey, Canard.' Wally greeted. 'Are you going to the meeting?"

"Yeah, just a sec."

"So Cap'n' Greybeak said slyly.'You and the new medic, huh?"

"Yeah.' Wally agreed. 'She's pretty, ain't she?"

"The new medic?" Canard replied, feigning ignorance. "You mean Angelwing?"

Greybeak rolled his eyes at Wally, which Canard caught.

The captain shrugged nonchalantly. "Haven't thought about it, honestly."

Both of the other ducks busted out laughing at that.

"What? I haven't!" Canard insisted, which made them laugh even harder. Canard crumpled up a piece of paper and threw it in their direction. "I'd knock it off, you two, unless you want kitchen duty for a month."

"Oh, you wouldn't." Wally replied teasingly.

"Don't push your luck, Waldo."

Greybeak covered his beak and Wally's eyes went wide. He pointed to the tan drake."C-Captain! Ix-nay on the Aldo-Way!"

Canard had a look of justification. Like a cat that caught a mouse, and had finished a bowl of milk. Way too satisfied with himself. "Now, I have to check in to the meeting in five minutes. You two are dismissed."

Both ducks saluted. "Yes, sir!"

The captain turned around, ready to leave. He didn't catch the smirk growing on Greybeak's face. The latter looked to the right and called out. "Hey there, Angelwing!"

"Huh? W-where?!"

Canard looked around, almost eagerly, but he didn't see Danielle. When he heard Greybeak and Wally laughing hysterically behind him, he realized what they did and was really mad. He turned around with a heated glare at the two ducks. Greybeak froze, and Wally jumped up into the former's arms. "Yipes!"

"Alright, you...You…!" Canard was close to beating the snot out of them, when he heard someone address him. The sound was as soft and sweet as a nightingale's song.

"Hi, Captain."

Said captain turned around fast, to see Danielle walking up to him, waving. Embarrassed that he nearly started a fight in front of her, Canard felt his face heat up under his feathers.

"Oh! D-Danielle! H-hi."

Off in the distance, Greybeak sang off key and very loudly, "It's just a little crush (crush), not like I faint every time we touch...!"

Canard glared daggers in his direction, while Danielle looked on bewildered. "Everything okay?" she asked.

Still staring at Greybeak and Wally as they ran around the corner and out of sight, the captain sighed and shook his head. "Nah. Just those two being idiots, like usual."

"Ah," Danielle said, not entirely convinced but also not wanting to push the subject. Then the two of them went side by side to the base's war room for the meeting.
