"It hurts when I breathe.."

[ijustglowblue]

"Distracted?!"  Kaidan exclaimed in disbelief.  Though he had to admit that it had been a rather intense fight that had gotten plenty of adrenaline pumping.  "If you can’t tell whether you’ve gotten hurt or not, how am I supposed to…"

He stopped, knowing he was just making this worse.  But he was worried, and scared, and the easiest way for him to cope with his distress was through action and anger.

Except Ashley needed him.  She was injured, and probably in pain, though the medigel also acted as an anesthetic.  She made a mistake; she messed up.  There would be time to work this out later…

Plenty of time to threaten to envelop her in biotic barrier every single time she stepped out onto the battlefield again…  Or impose a now obligatory complete body scan each time a fight was over…

There would be time, he had to believe that.  But right now, this wasn’t about him.  Kaidan let out a heavy sigh.

"It’s okay. I’ve got you, alright?" he stated firmly, but gently; tightening his hold on her a little.

As he finally made his way to the shuttle, he installed her next to him, lowering the back rest so she was in a - hopefully comfortable - half sitting position; while still being able to strap her up with the security harness.

He then took his place in the pilot’s seat, and started to make his way towards the nearest medical facility.

"Hey!  Are you still with me?"  he asked her; hoping to keep her conscious and talking although even if she did lose consciousness, the best course of action would still be to get her as fast as he could to a medical team.

[ashleymwilliams]

She flinched slightly at his tone; although she understood he had every right to be upset that something so important hadn’t been noticed by her. Especially with their line of work it called for them to be observant to their health.  She felt like an idiot really, but there wasn’t much she could do now but regret and focus on staying awake. Since losing consciousness would be in no way helpful to this situation. Rarely was being unconscious a good thing.  She wanted to say something more- to make him feel better about this- but the words refused to form.

Where she’d been shot felt somewhat numb, but something told her that wasn’t as good a thing as she thought- even with Omni-gel the pain wouldn’t be fluctuating so much. She supposed the only way to find out would be to remain conscious until they reached a medical team.

“Alright.. I trust you” she murmured roughly towards him when he tried to reassure her, his hold on her tightened softly but it didn’t bother her in the least. And when she ended up lowered into a chair she let out a soft hiss, the pain returned from being moved. She leaned into the back rest somewhat tensely- not letting herself get too comfortable- couldn’t risk falling asleep.

 Releasing a small breath she blinked back the blurriness, “I’m – still conscious” she mumbled softly, gazing at Kaidan- trying to focus enough to see him clearly.

Okay, wow. How the fuck did time fly? And where did you all come from? Not totally sure you guys aren’t lost or anything. Nor do I understand how you all put up with Jane and her shit (also my shit). 

I have met some beautiful, wonderful, amazing (like there are not enough words to describe my love for you) people here, and many more to come I’m sure. These are just a few of those who have stuck by me, and have been all around perfect. Of course, everyone’s perfect. So don’t feel bad if you’re not on here. I still love you. Also I tossed in those I shamelessly stalk from afar. Because reasons. Seriously, don’t feel bad if you’re not on here. I’m braindead.

Joker thought over her question for a second. “Well, you can do that or it looks like we are going to be stuck at the Citadel for a while, we can go out and do something.” he said. “If you want, but we all know you want to, because you’d be hanging out with me, and that’s awesome.”

[ashleymwilliams]

She seemed to ponder it for a few minutes, "The Citadel? Sounds more fun than sitting around waiting for something to happen. I'd invite Kaidan but i think he's busy" she chuckles softly, "Meet you on the way out?"

"It hurts when I breathe.."

[ijustglowblue]

"You’ve got to be fucking kidding me Ash, I swear…" Kaidan started mumbling, while quickly removing Ashley’s armor’s chest-plate and underclothes to expose the wound.

"The medigel should seal the opening of the wound so you’ll stop sucking in air through the thoracic wall, but we have to get you to a hospital." he explained, having stopped asking questions now that he knew what the problem was.

And right now, the fastest way to get there was if they took the shuttle they’d used for their mission earlier.  Having done all he could to stabilize her condition, he gingerly picked her up bridal style and started running towards the shuttle.

"You better pull through this one, Ash; or else I’m going to seriously kick your ass!" he seethed.  The situation wasn’t exactly critical yet, but it would soon be if they couldn’t relieve the pressure in her chest.  And to think he could risk losing her for something as stupid as…  "The fight happened about 20 minutes ago, and you didn’t think to tell me before that a bullet hit you?”

Truth was, he couldn’t even tell what made him angrier.  The fact that she didn’t tell him, or the fact that she’d gotten shot without him noticing.

[ashleymwilliams]

Closing her eyes for a moment she tried to clear the black spots from her vision, something making it very hard to concentrate on Kaidan even though he was right near her- She'd misjudged this, Shit- she'd misjudged this really badly. This wasn't like her in the slightest, what had made her so distracted in this battle? What had possibly had her head so wound up that she'd mistake a bullet wound for a stunning shot? Or for a shot to the shoulder?

"M'h- Sorry... Kaidhn" she stumbled on her words, the pain in her chest slowly growing as she came into realization of how she'd managed to ignore something like this for so long.

"Hosphi-Hospital?" if she hadn't been angry at herself for her mistake before- knowing that she'd be having to go there made her feel worse, "Shit." she murmured roughly flinching when he put Medigel over the wound.  Normally she would jump slightly due to his suddenly picking her up to carry her- but her reaction was slow- delayed and sluggish. She simply blinked in confusion.

"I.. thou-ght, it was a stunning shot to the shoulder- Distr- I was Distrachted" she spluttered out as best she could as he carried her to the shuttle in a rush.

Ash had been spending some time reacquainting herself with some of her favorite poetry, Tennyson always had her in a thinking mood- and the old journals of her fathers contained small sketches and notes that she felt compelled to read. Sighing softly she had just closed one when the speaker in the room started projecting. Startling she quickly put the journal aside. “Hey Joker, I can’t say i am. What’s got you bored?”

[thebestdamnpilot]

Joker smiled, hearing her response. He leaned back in his seat and sighed. “Oh I don’t know, the fact that we are just sitting here… I need something to do.” he groaned. “You want to hang out or something?”

[ashleymwilliams]

Chuckling softly, Ashley knew he had to be lacking things to do if he was asking around to see who would be able to provide some fun. "Sure, Do you want me to come up to the Bridge?"

"It hurts when I breathe.."

[ijustglowblue]

*Freezes*

"What?"

*Forces her to sit down in the nearby chair and activates his omnitool’s scan.*

"Where?  Throat, nose, thorax, back, head?  Since how long?  Did you get hit in the chest during the last battle?  Did you inhale any fumes?  Does it hurt when you talk, too?  Do you feel lightheaded?  Do you also have trouble getting any air in or it’s just painful?" *Short pause* "Am I going too fast?"

[ashleymwilliams]

Ashley slumped slightly in the chair he had forced her to sit down in, forcing another breath out as he rambled through a list of things- though  as she was growing increasingly light headed it became harder to make them out. "Whu? - I ... Did get hit- i thought it was more just my shoulder but" she wheezes painfully. "It might have been worse, i'hm light headed- slow- slow down" she tries to lift her hand to her face but can't manage it.

Joker was sitting around in the bridge, bored as shit. EDI was annoying him and they weren’t even flying anywhere. Just sitting at the Citadel. He looked down to the comm, thinking of all the people on the ship before smiling, remembering that Ashley was on board. He clicked the button so his voice would come onto the speaker in the room she was in at the time. “Hey, Ash? You busy?” he asked.

[ashleymwilliams]
