The legalities: I do not own any of the Expendables franchise (characters, places, and objects especially) and this is mostly au.Rated M just to be on the safe side.
Also, please don't be afraid to write reviews. I would love to hear from you all!
Hope you enjoy!
Prompt: "How long are you guys going to stand around my bed like a bunch of creepers?"
Jacoba kept her eyes closed and her breathing even as she lay in her bed in her room above Tool's Tattoo Shop. She had just started to wake up a bit when she'd felt some sort of presence hovering all around her bed. In her mind, she rolled her eyes; the whole team was a bunch of worry warts.
They had just gotten back from a mission in Russia. It had only been her third or fourth mission with the team and everything had been going well right up until the very end. One of the mark's henchmen had come around the corner as the team was almost out and gotten a shot off before the team took him down. It took them a couple of minutes to realize that Jacoba was doubled over, having caught the bullet in her left side. Luckily, Gunnar had quickly scooped her up and rushed them all to the plane. As Barney and Lee got the plane off the ground, Gunnar had begun to patch her up while Caesar held her shoulders and the others watched on nervously.
Now, after being checked over by Tool, she was quietly mending in her room. It was the easiest place for them to take her and she was grateful for it. And comfortable. Sighing, she finally opened her eyes and looked around slightly (without moving her head). Gunnar was sitting in a chair by her shoulder, arms crossed as he had a whispered argument with Caesar, Yin, and Toll. On her other side, another argument between Barney, Lee, Tool, and Trench (and just when did they call him?) had broken out.
Rolling her eyes, Jacoba smirked slightly before speaking up. "How long are you guys going to stand around my bed like a bunch of creepers?"
All of the guys quickly turned their heads on a dime and began to talk at her all at once. It wasn't until Gunnar whistled loudly that they all quieted down. "You know, she's not wrong."
Barney furrowed his brow. "About what?"
Jacoba chuckled before groaning and shutting her eyes for a moment, before sighing and opening them again. "I had asked how long you all were going to stand around my bed like a bunch of creepers. Because that's what you all look like right about now. A whole bunch of creepers. Now get out so I can rest."
As she closed her eyes, Jacoba heard Gunnar shepherding the remaining team members out of the room. For some reason, the Viking was being super nice to her again. But that was something that she would deal with later. Right now, she was just going to concentrate on healing. That was the most important thing right now.
