Work Text:
Everyone was in their usual position. Kaehoon on any roof nearby, Alexander and Gabriel in one of the vans with Charles ready in the other one. They got it under control until a couple of shadows appeared out of the smoke. Charles got out of the van switching places with Alexander, who probably was about to do something really stupid. Insania seemed indifferent by the entrance of the new people. Those who were fully clothed by black suits and masks, they also had a variety of weapons around their bodies.
- Ow, C’mon really? - shouted Charles while looking around - no one sees the reference? They are like the fucking Winter Soldier(1). I made you watch the movies!
- Yes! Finally, someone that knows! - said Insania back - Men, nobody understands the reference! Now, because of that, you are the first.
Insania just completed the sentence when a shotgun noise pierced the air. Charles felt backwards bleeding through the right shoulder. Her smile got wider, she raised both of her arms, turned around as if she was dancing and, just like if everything was normal while having a young man bleeding himself out on the floor, she was off. Everything froze during the short lapse of time. Alexander reacted quickly, he got the van in front of Charles, who was still on the floor with just shook in his eyes, and opened the other door to let him in. But he didn’t enter, he was grabbing his shoulder while watching how it bleed. Alexander demanded him to get in the van. Charles looked around, drew the CZ-P07 he had in one of the holsters and shot somewhere at the background of the vehicle. He ran there and got back with a small guy. He was gasping and groaning while carrying the body on his healthy shoulder. Alexander wasn't querying at the moment, but Charles wouldn’t get a random man into the car and slip away with it. He speeded up and got them with the stranger out of the warlike action.
- Dude! What the fuck are you doing with him! - scolded Alexander.
- What do you think? I want my own Winter Soldier! Sorry, our own - explained Charles sounding absolutely convinced of himself - I won’t let pass this opportunity. - teased him - Imagine the team, with a possibly very traumatised guy by its new member!
- YOU ARE DEFINITELY STUPID! - blurted Alexander - HOW DO WE EXPLAIN THAT TO THE BOSS? - he said while pointing to the unconscious body - I should have left you there, for real. You give so many problems, it's like taking care of a kid - moaned him while walking on the back part of the van looking for the materials to cure the motherfucker he just saved - like we don't have any traumatized person in the team - sighed while seeking for the bandages.
When he had reached everything, he started to work on him. He began with pressuring the injury with one hand while with the other was trying to sedate Charles. But he wouldn’t let him.
- No, you can do everything without it - reinforced Charles.
- No, you are taking it - Alexander wouldn’t give in.
With effort Alexander could finally administer the sedative and started with the incision to get the bullet out. When he had the 9 mm bullet, he sutured and bandaged the wound. Alexander finished within 10 minutes, he was the group doctor for some reason. He was watching over Charles when he realised he had another wounded person in his disposal. He saw the guy was based on the van’s side handcuffed to a bar. Watching them without moving even a centimeter, he just moved his eyes around following every position change. Alexander scanned him and noticed blood coming out the abdomen under his bulletproof vest. Charles shot him right in a gap between the vest and the trousers. Now he had to cure him or at least get the bullet out. He took a syringe and approached him. The masked guy wouldn’t take his eyes out of him. Alexander reached him, but he wasn’t exactly still, he started shaking as a fighting bull. Alexander had to leap on him, so he could inject him with the sedative and the painkiller. When he could do it and extracted the bullet, he only had left the dull task of looking after his dumb companion and the strange assassin his dumb companion took with him. It was relatively easy, until Charles began to have nightmares and tried to get up and fight Alexander. Charles occasionally sleepwalks and when that happens, it's usually because of the nightmares, he tries to beat everything he meets on his way out of the building. Alexander attempted successfully to avoid his escape, Charles recognised him before punching him in the jaw.
- Hey dude, how are you doing? - asked Alexander while leading him towards the stretcher - Does your shoulder hurt much?
- I’m fine, it only pricks a bit - affirmed Charles meanwhile testing his right shoulder - hopefully it’s not the good one.
- Yeah, that’s right - sighted Alexander.
They continued sitting there talking about anything that came to their minds. Just waiting for the rest to finish the mission or in the worst case to call Alexander requiring medical attention. Hopefully, the second part didn’t happen. The rest took the other van and drove where they were, they got a “surprise” as Keahoon said, they would show them as soon as all of them were along. When they, at last, got there, the mission team got out of the van to check on Charles and Alexander who were also out of the vehicle.
- We also have a surprise - sang Charles while putting his intact around Alexander’s shoulders - but you should go first.
- Ok, then… - started to talk Nicholas - We better show you what it is exactly, ‘cause it’s difficult to explain…
