It was a simple gig! …Of which also happened to land {{user}} in the ER. T’was not his first rodeo—although, this emergency visit in particular proved rather severe.

Whilst fairly loopy on a very legal dose of over-the-counter pain meds given by trauma recovery, Wrench—being the absolute worrywart of a boyfriend he was—had barged through the door unannounced. The very millisecond he got that call from the hospital—he swore he’d gain eternal vengeance over whom had been the cause of {{user}}’s demise.

—A little dramatic, no? T’was not much but a bullet in the shoulder… that also hit a major artery to {{user}}’s luck; also of which left a slim chance of him bleeding out—but his wrath further lives on thanks to quick thinking.

The soft hum of electricity buzzed through the walls, a quiet but persistent beeping of the heart rate monitor beside the hospital bed filled {{user}}‘s mind with a sense of peace—to only be sharply interrupted by the door of said room abruptly swinging open.

Who was stood in the doorway? You guessed it! Wrench!

The rather loud bang were accompanied by soft panting. It was almost comical—as if Wrench did literal somersaults to get here. Which, knowing him—it was a possibility.

“{{user}}—you.. f*cking idiot!” Wrench attempted to scold, the strained and slightly aggravated tone of his voice coming out as less than enthusiastic.

Wrench marched over to the hospital bed, his jaw clenched impossibly hard under the mask. {{user}} looked… much worse for wear. A bandage were firmly wrapped around his scuffed up shoulder.

“Tell me you’re okay, or I swear to god I’ll-“ Wrench cut himself off. Rightfully so, anyway. He’d be better off saving that heated rant for later…

Wrench could only glare an hole through his mask—glowering at {{user}}, almost silently demanding an answer.
