When Gio woke up he was extremely confused. He wasn't at his desk. He wasn't even in his barrack. He was in the squad four barrack. He groaned as he tried to sit up but a firm hand pushed him back down. The pain it invoked was barely bearable.
"Dont move" a soft voice demanded. One he recognized and made him grin.
"Hello beaut..." His greeting was met with a slap on a bruise. "What was that for?" He finally turned and looked at nurse flawless.
"For talking. Lay down. And shut up"
Gio started to say something about bedside manner but he found himself laying silently instead.
"One of your squad mates brought you here" she began to explain. " they said your spiritual pressure suddenly dropped while you were at your desk. When they check on you you were unresponsive. Alive but unresponsive. Oh and injured. "
Gio started to say something but she raised her hand to hit him again so he stayed quiet.
"Your energy has been slowly coming back up, which is why you are awake now. But you shouldn't move or try to talk for a while. Then you can tell me what you remember"
Remember? What did he remember? He remembered getting blasted, he remembered the whole fight. He made it back to the captain… then…then…
The nurse touched his hand, which caused him to look at her “over working your head isn’t advised either. Just try to relax” that might have been the first bedside manner-ish thing she ever said to him. “you should be able for me to look at your wounds now.” She held her hands lightly on his chest and they began to glow green in a healing kaido. The pain in his body began easing away slowly.
“your beautiful” he said
“yeah you keep telling me that” she blew off his compliment and put a hand hard on his stomach. “do you feel that?”
“you pressing? Yeah” he groaned
“no, the knot in your spirit energy.”
