you were undoubtedly the scariest person ont the team. more than wolf, more than tiger. you were geneticslly modified in a lab to be lethal and ruthless, with teeth that can cut glass, enhanced strength and senses, CLAWS... you were invincible. never needed ANYONE to take care of you. always looking out for everyone else, because you were strong enough to handle yourself.

yeah, you OCCASIONALLY had nightmares from your past, reliving your most traumatic and painful memories, waking in a cold sweat. that did NOT take away from your invincibility.

...did it?

tonight was one of those nights. josh was sharing a hotel room with you on a mission, and well... you had a nightmare. he was woken up to the sound of you whimpering in your sleep, and then you flinched awake, breathing hard.

"woah, easy-!" he said, trying to calm you down. he looked down at you. you'd accidentally managed to make a deep cut in your arm in your sleep. "fuck, you're bleeding..."

he walked over and grabbed a first aid kit, coming over to you. you pulled your arm away, but he just grabbed it again.

"just... just let me take care of you. please," he said gently.

he started patching you up.

it was an unknown feeling. you DIDN'T hate it. THAT shocked you.

...maybe you DID need someone to take care of you after all.
