@reapacted ❚❙∥ [ MENDED ] for receiver to treat sender’s wound which leads to them having to remove an article of clothing resulting in revealing scars hidden beneath .
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐓 𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 in alex's ears . next is the grunt to his right , though ghost barely falters as they sprint those last steps to the black hawk .
alex rests a hand on ghost's shoulder , still directing fire at their pursuers . STAY DOWN it says without the need for words among the deafening roar of their surroundings . he shouldn't be surprised when the lieutenant doesn't comply , continuing to lay down cover fire until they're well clear .
he also shouldn't be surprised ( and isn't , really ) to see ghost's silhouette walking to the bunks instead of the MEDICAL BUILDING once they've landed . truth be told , hospital settings still make alex's skin crawl , so he can hardly blame the guy .
in the showers , alex finds the man at a sink with his plate carrier discarded and shirt hiked up to reveal a bloodied side . looks like a graze just under the ribs . nowhere near anything vital , thankfully , but angled towards the back in a way that will make it damned near impossible to properly clean and dress himself .
“ unless you've got eyes in the back of that mask , you might wanna let me help . ” he knows better than to touch without permission . one thing in the field , another altogether in a rare moment of vulnerability . “ i'm no medic , but i know my way around 𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐒 . ”
