Hindsight is always 20/20, unfortunately, and Marjan tends to learn that the hard way. Realistically she knows better, yet every time she pushes herself too far she finds herself frustrated with her body’s limits. She shouldn’t still hurt like this, she reasons with herself, it shouldn’t be this hard.

She said that but she knew it was the opposite in reality. She already did things doctors told her she would never be capable of doing, and she did them on the daily. That comes with clear risks, of course, but Marjan didn’t worry about them. Not in the moment, anyway, because all she really wanted to do was help people. She was in it for the fulfilment of her childhood dream and the need to help others, though she would also admit the adrenaline rush is pretty great too.

Marjan should be more careful, it's what her parents and friends back home tell her constantly. They’d seen all her videos and the risks are evident but Marjan never listened too hard. She’s Firefox for goodness’ sake, one doesn’t go viral by being careful or by being treated like glass. That's what she told them every time and it's what Owen needs to be reminded every time he expresses his concern. She knew they nag because they’re worried but she’s 25; one would think Marjan could take care of herself by that point.

That’s what she muttered to her captain when he nudged her on their way back to the rig. She was limping, she could feel it in the way her body instinctively favoured her right side. Something wasn’t right and Marjan knew that but she had hoped no one would notice. Usually capitan Strand was too preoccupied with his own thing to really notice, but that wasn’t the case on this day.

“Marwani, you okay?” His voice was lowered, thankfully, and Owen waited until Paul had gone off to help Mateo with the hose before he spoke. They had an agreement that Marjan would keep him updated on her condition so long as he didn’t let the rest of the squad know. Considering the amount of things he kept a secret from his son in the past, she hoped he could apply that to the whole 126 this time around.

“Fine, Cap,” she answered as she went to hoist herself back into the truck, trying to hide her flinch when she leaned too much on her leg.

“Marjan.”

“Just a strain,” she promised, settling down in the seat she usually claimed. A quick glance out the other window told her the others were coming into the rig. Giving Owen a look, Marjan went to fiddle with her seatbelt in an attempt to avoid eye contact, hoping he would take the hint. Marjan didn’t need the concern and she certainly didn’t want the rest of her crew to know anything was wrong. Nothing was wrong, after all; or at least that’s what she told herself.

Even still, she had to admit paying attention to any conversation was extremely difficult. Actually, Marjan was having a hard time focusing in general, her brain feeling like it was stuffed with cotton. All she could think about was the amount of screaming pain her leg was in at that point, the ligaments in her knee being particularly bothered. Any movement sent harsh tugging motions through the connective tissue, making Marjan grit her teeth and hide her flinch as the rig came to a less than gentle stop in the station.

She was the last one out of the truck, pretending to fix her scarf and tugging on her undercap a bit. The boys didn’t bother her or look in her direction whenever she did that, something she was always grateful for. In that situation it gave her some time to have them disappear to shower or change, leaving Marjan mostly alone so she could relax for a moment.

That was the idea, anyway, but it was easier said than done. Even after sitting and trying to relax her muscles for a moment, Marjan could only feel pain. A gentle hand pressing on the back of her knee through her gear felt like she was being hit with a baseball bat, causing her to stifle a pained sound. She had to stand up, though, because her staying in the rig for this long was already a cause for concern.

Holding onto the handle for support, Marjan lowered herself out of the seat, praying she didn’t fall off the step with how unstable she felt. Her head was spinning, an uncomfortably familiar sensation caused by her adamance to push through the pain. Even as she tried to regain her footing, she knew she pushed herself too far this time.

She had declined Paul’s offer to be the one to rappel into that building, insisting it was her turn and hooking her harness to the rigging system before he could argue. She had been fine all day, through the walking and heavy gear and even while carrying a little boy out of a house fire. She miscalculated her stability during the rappel down, though, and a stumble when going to break a second floor window with her boots had her knee buckling. The initial pain was bad but the aftermath made it feel like a pinprick in comparison. She wasn’t sure what she had done but the way she had to grit her teeth with every bend of her knee told Marjan it was way more than just a strain.

“Marjan?” Mateo was behind her all of a sudden, a gentle hand on her elbow when she teetered on her unstable legs. She winced because she wasn’t sure how to avoid the truth but this wasn’t a situation she could hide from them. She was hurt, that was clear, and she couldn’t smile her way out of the concern of her crewmates.

“I’m fine, Probie,” she replied before he could ask, “Knocked up my knee a bit is all.”

“I’ll get Tommy.”

“Mateo, no,” Marjan said quickly before her friend could run off to find the paramedic capitan. She tried to shake her head, meaning to put on a brave face and promise she was just fine, but that was a mistake. The rapid head movement only worsened her vertigo caused by the discomfort, the room spinning and her leg threatening to buckle under her. Mateo must have noticed because he grabbed her again, quick to help support her right side because Marjan was clearly having trouble.

“Captain Vega?!” Marjan wanted to protest again but she was too dizzy, her eyes felt heavy and all she wanted to do was cry. She hated appearing weak but she couldn’t keep up the façade at that point, not when her whole leg felt like it was on fire, almost as bad as when she first tore her MCL back in middle school. Marjan couldn’t even answer Tommy when she asked what was wrong, only a stifled whimper of pain preceded her descent into unforgiving unconsciousness, falling limp in Mateo’s hold.

Ik we don't have much on Shel, but Shelper for the ship ask game?

who’s the cuddler: shel bc i hc her to be more clingy

who makes the bed: they alternate between each other every week

who wakes up first: piper and it’s usually bc of nightmares. shel makes note of this and will usually prepare something and put it in the fridge so piper can have something at the ready to eat or drink in the morning and doesn’t have energy to actually make it herself

who has weird taste in music: piper’s music range is pretty wide and shel just sticks to one or two genres so my two cents are on piper for this one

who is more protective: def piper. since @daughterofathenathatsokwspiders headcanoned shel to not be a clear sighted mortal, i’ll go on along that branch. basically, since shel cant see through the mist, that means she’ll not be as aware when she’s in danger, and ever since piper told her about the world of gods, monsters, and demigods, piper has kept a more watcheful eye on her lover to make sure she stays safe 🥺

who sings in the shower: once again, my gal pipes. i have another shelper hc where shel heard piper’s voice once and since she plays guitar, she roped piper into performing with her at community centers. very fun pastime for them both ✨

who cries during movies: shel gets attached to the characters really quickly so if anything bad happens to them she becomes a sobbing mess in her burrito blanket

who spends the most shopping: they both can work for this one methinks. like. piper fees guilty about shopping much nowadays bc of what the triumvirate did to her dad and shel has made it her mission to get her gf as much comfort items as she can. they use the money they make from their performances and spend the weekend hitting the mall and just hanging out together

who kisses more roughly: 👁👁🤚

who is more dominant: *coughs awkwardly* if anyone’s comfortable and has the capability for these two questions, u can go for it in the tags or smth, i just. Cant(tm). sorry

who burns the dinner: shel before piper taught her to cook

who picks the restaurant to eat: piper does for the most part but sometimes shel will see a place she’d find interesting and they’ll go to try it out

who forgets dates: shel will get really invested in a project of some kind and end up oversleeping and forgetting stuff

who has to remind the other to take their meds/pump/clean their medical equiptment: shel knows she can never truly fathom what goes on in piper’s life when her s.o. is dealing with the mythical side of things so she tries her best to make sure piper’s taking care of herself

who has to remind the other to go to bed: both will overwork and then insist the other get enough rest :’)

who makes breakfast in bed: piper 🥺

who will eat food no matter if it is under/over cooked: ✨ shel ✨

who is more likely to get lost: neither, they’re both p good w/ direction

my raiting for the ship 1-10: 8.5/10 only bc we didn’t get to see much of them in canon but they’re still so lovely together i just. ⚡️✨💫🌟
