#i think concentric circle top surgery would also work in this case

[wolfythewitch]

I don't know who Ford is (presumably not Ford Prefect, but what the hell you can queer headcanon the whole hhg2g cast if you want, I'm not a cop) but is he the type who wouldn't feel the need for top surgery due to being so flat chested, but get the scars tattooed on anyway?

As a character? I think he'd do anything to pass so tattoos would be too eye-catching

Blood Brothers (9-1-1 Lonestar Fic)

After an incident on a call leaves Carlos and Judd injured, TK has some guilt to look through. CW: Canon-typical violence, gun violence, drug mention.

It was a normal call. Or at least it was supposed to be. Dispatch had mentioned a simple car accident on the freeway with a possible missing kid. Nothing more, nothing less. They had found the kid and gotten four of the five people out of the cars with limited injuries and no deaths so far. The police were only really there for traffic control. Everything was going fine and overall, it was the kind of call that would no doubt be celebrated later with a night at the bar. Until Paul noticed something.

While Judd knew that he wasn’t as observant as Paul was, he was also far from oblivious. The sudden stiffening and look of concentration on Paul’s face betrays the fact that he had noticed something, though it wasn’t clear exactly what he’d noticed. It never was. Not until he did some fancy Sherlock Holmes type deduction and blew everyone away. Then it just seemed painfully obvious and left Judd with the thought that this is what Watson must feel like. A quick glance around reveals the fact that Judd isn’t the only one who’s noticed. Marjan and the probie were sharing a look of confusion and glee, clearly excited to see what it was that Paul had discovered.

Judd wasn’t immune to the lure of the trick either. Though he tries to remain outwardly uninterested, he still watches out of the corner of his eye as the other man approaches the truck, walking with purpose. Just as Paul’s about to make his first comment or ask his first question, something else catches Judd’s eye and he turns his head, recognizing the all-too-familiar glint as sunlight reflects off the long barrel of a shotgun. Judd follows it with his eyes, his heart stopping for a moment when he realizes who it was pointing at. TK wasn’t paying attention, of course, too busy chatting it up with his little cop boyfriend.

“Gun!” Judd’s shouting the warning almost immediately as he takes off towards the boy, knocking him to the ground just as the gun fires with a loud bang. The two of them land on the ground, Judd on top of TK, and he can only groan as TK shouts in surprise, asking what the hell was going on. Judd wants to answer. Really, he does. But just at that moment, the pain hits.

It’s a burning, searing pain that seems to spread out from his shoulder and throughout his entire body. He can hear somebody letting out a string of foul curses, ones that would get him smacked upside the head if Grace heard him saying, and it takes him a moment longer than it should for him to realize that it was him cussing up a storm and not some poor bystander. Judd tries to get up but his arms feel like Jell-O and refuse to follow his commands. All he can do is groan and hope he isn’t crushing poor TK under him.

As much as he liked to portray himself as this fearless, tough-guy cowboy, he was only human. He was susceptible to pain. And this shit? It hurt like a mother. Through the haze of pain and confusion, he can feel two people shifting him onto one of the stretchers. His arm moves at the same time that the pain spikes and a numb feeling shoots through his arm before making his entire body burn like it was on fire. He barely gets a strangled scream out before he's passing out on the stretcher.

~~~

Owen didn’t think he would ever be as scared as he had been when he found TK that night before moving to Austin. The stone-cold terror he’d felt when he’d found his son laying on the ground, cold as a corpse and not breathing, wasn’t something that was going to be easy to top. But the fear he feels when he sees the barrel of a gun pointed at him while he’s so clearly distracted definitely comes close.

“TK!” he yells, though it’s immediately drowned out by a louder shout, warning them about the gun. Owen freezes for just a moment, seeing a blur tackle TK to the ground just as the gun goes off. And that’s when everything goes to shit. Carlos is knocked aside in the commotion, his head hitting the edge of the truck and knocking him out, and TK himself doesn’t seem to come out unscathed despite what Owen is now considering divine intervention of some sort.

Owen forces himself forwards on unsteady legs, dropping to his knees beside the two. Michelle was already with Carlos, helping him to sit up and drink some water. For a moment, Owen’s convinced that he’s the only one who had seen this. The only one who knows what had happened. But his theory is quickly disproven when Paul and Marjan are there all of a sudden, helping him move Judd onto a stretcher. The cowboy was shouting out foul curses, causing most of the bystanders to cover their children's ears and look utterly scandalized. When he passes out, Owen finds that the silence is much worse.

TK hadn’t gotten up yet, which Owen was trying not to find concerning. He’s still laying on the pavement, curling up in the fetal position and not moving.“TK? TK, are you okay? TK!”

TK’s response is fairly quick and Owen just about sags in relief. “I’m fine. Just sore ribs. Think Judd broke ‘em. What was that all about anyway?” he asks, sitting up with one arm wrapped around his chest, a slight wince on his face.

Owen watches as the ambulance pulls away with Judd and Carlos inside and just shakes his head. “Come on. We’re going to the hospital.”

“Dad? It’s not that bad, seriously. I’m fine.”

“TK, it’s not for you.”

It takes a few seconds but the look on TK’s face when he finally realizes what had just happened makes Owen wish that he’d just invented some kind of elaborate lie or something to cover up the whole thing. He knew it was illogical but the urge to protect his son from any more hurt was there, overpowering any logic or rational thought. “Oh.”

“Yeah. Let’s go.”

~~~

They arrive at the hospital shortly after. Despite what he’d been told, about the trip not being for him, his dad had still made him get checked out. The whole way to the hospital, he’d been hunched over with his arms wrapped around his chest and Owen had been understandably concerned. A few moments after arriving, he's diagnosed with cracked ribs. After being told about caring for his ribs, they head into the waiting room to find Carlos sitting in the corner with an ice pack to his head and a pink emesis bin in his lap. He glances up when the two walk in, giving TK a small, pained smile. TK immediately glances away.

From what he’d been told, this whole thing was his fault. If he had been paying attention to the call instead of hanging out with his boyfriend when they were both working, then he would have seen the gun. He would have ducked or moved or done something other than just stand there like a lovesick dork. Judd wouldn’t be in surgery. Carlos wouldn’t be sitting there in obvious pain.

TK knew he had a bad habit of internalizing things and blaming himself. His dad told him practically every time it happened. But in this case, he was certain that it was his fault. How could it not be? He had been standing there, flirting with his boyfriend while everyone else was working hard. Judd had been right, he was slacking. And now he was paying the price for TK’s mistake.

Before he even has a chance to try and stop it, a strangled sob escapes him, and just like that, the dam he’d oh so carefully constructed breaks. He sits there, in the cold, cramped hospital chair, with his legs pulled up to his chest and his face buried in his knees as loud sobs wracked his body. The fabric on his knees is getting wet with his tears but he can’t bring himself to care. With everything else happening, it doesn’t seem to matter that much. He feels somebody’s arm wrap around him, pulling him into their side with a quiet, “Oh, TK.”

He recognizes his dad’s voice and the feeling of his chest. Briefly, he’s reminded of the time when he was a kid and he’d had a nightmare. He’d stood over his dad’s bed for nearly ten minutes before Owen had woken up. His dad had later told him that he’d scared the shit out of him. But after that, he’d just hugged him and held him close. He had rubbed his hair like he was doing now and he’d told him that everything was going to be okay. That whatever had happened was just a dream and it couldn’t hurt him. The mantra was different today. Today, his dad was assuring him that what happened wasn’t his fault. “Everything will be okay. It wasn’t your fault, TK, these things happen. Judd’s gonna be fine. Carlos is—”

“I’m fine,” Carlos pipes up, though his voice is tinged with hurt. TK can’t tell if it’s from the concussion or TK ignoring him. Either way, he had caused it. It was his fault.

“Tyler Kennedy, you listen to me.” TK hadn’t realized he had been speaking out loud. “This was not your fault. Okay?”

“But Carlos got— and Judd he—”

“They’re fine, TK. Right now, I’m more worried about you.” Owen lowers his voice, leaning in closer to his son. “How are you feeling? Any… urges?”

TK sighs, rolling his eyes and looking up at his dad. “I’m not a werewolf, you know, and I’m not made of glass either. I’m not gonna- I’m not going to OD again, okay? That was… it was a one-time thing. Not every issue is going to break me, okay? Okay, dad?”

“I know,” Owen tells him, a small smile on his face. “I know. I’m just worried, okay?”

“Yeah, well you don’t have to be.”

“It’s kind of my job, TK.”

TK feels a small spark of inexplicable anger appear. “No, your <i>job</i> is to save people.”

“Not as a firefighter, TK, as your dad.”

TK’s quiet for a moment. Just like that, the spark is gone and another sob leaves him. “I’m sorry.”

“Hey, you have nothing to be sorry for,” Owen assures him, rubbing small circles into his son’s back. TK just nods, too busy trying to hold back the sobs and tears that threatened to overspill. By now, Paul, Marjan, and Matéo had returned from taking the truck back for the next shift and were just sitting awkwardly in the chairs beside Carlos.

When Paul catches the captain's eye, he mouths something that Owen takes for meaning, ‘Is he okay?’ Owen hesitates, looking down at where TK was sitting, practically in his lap with his head buried in his chest. He nods. TK might not be completely okay right now, but he would be. Owen knew that. If his son was anything, he was resilient.

Owen glances up at the sound of footsteps, relieved to see the doctor approaching. He knows the exact moment that TK notices, shifting and accidentally elbowing Owen in the chest. “Oomph!”

“Sorry,” TK’s quick to apologize but pays his dad no heed as he looks over at the doctor, a tall blond man. “How is he? Is he okay?”

The doctor opens his mouth to say something when Paul pipes up. “Relax, TK, he’s fine. Doc’s relaxed.”

“Wel—”

“Plus, Judd’s a fighter. He’ll be fine in no time.”

“May I—”

“Wait, did anyone call his wife?”

“If I can—”

“Yeah, I called her earlier. You know, she’s actually really nice. She invited us for dinner this weekend.”

“Guys,” Owen says, holding up a hand. “Let the man speak.”

The doctor sends him a thankful look and adjusts his clipboard as he clears his throat. “Thank you, Captain. Mr. Ryder’s going to be just fine. He’s lost a bit of blood but we were able to remove the bullet without much difficulty at all. He’s awake and ready for visitors. If you would like to see him, somebody can go in now. He’s been asking for his little brother?”

As soon as the doctor’s finished speaking, Owen looks down at his son. “That’s you. Go see him, make sure he’s not giving the nurses a hard time.” TK hesitates before shaking his head slightly and pulling his phone out as if he got a text. “I uh- actually, I have to go. Meeting a friend.”

Before anyone can protest, he’s out of there, taking off like a bat out of hell. Owen sighs, standing up. “Guess, that’s me then.” As he heads for Judd’s room, he hears Mateo comment on TK leaving to see a friend instead of visiting his brother. Marjan smacks him upside the head and calls him an idiot before Owen can say anything. He’d talk to TK later, make sure he’s okay.

Nobody, not even Paul, notices Carlos slipping away.

~~~

As soon as he’s out of the hospital, TK breaks down completely. He slides down one of the large white pillars and buries his face in his arms as he cries. Loud sobs wrack his entire body as he struggles to get a breath in without choking on it. He can practically feel everyone staring at him, watching as he loses it right there on the pavement. TK can only imagine the sight he makes. He was still in his turnout gear minus his helmet, which was probably still in the waiting room with his dad, and definitely looked the part of a badass firefighter. And here he was, sobbing like a child.

Too focused on dwelling on his own mistakes and trying to get a breath in, TK doesn’t notice somebody sitting down beside him until there’s a sharp inhale from the spot to his left. “It’s bright out, huh?” TK freezes, recognizing his boyfriend’s voice. He looks up slowly, trying to wipe the tears away with the back of his hand. They just keep coming.

“What are you doing here?”

“Come on, TK. I know you. And I know that you’re taking this hard. It’s not your fault. You know that, right?”

TK shakes his head. “That’s not— I wasn’t doing my job. I was just standing around, talking to <i>you</i>. I was distracted.”

“Everyone was standing around, there wasn’t much to do. You did nothing wrong. Please tell me you understand that,” Carlos says, an arm around his shoulders as he pulls TK into an awkward, half hug. TK just laughs bitterly and shakes his head again. Carlos frowns and decides to try another tactic. “What, you’re not going to ask how I’m feeling?”

TK looks up at him, the slightest hint of a smile on his face. “How are you feeling?”

“Like I just won a steak-eating contest.”

“Nauseous?”

“Yeah. Doc says I have a concussion. Nothing serious though.”

TK nods. “Good. Look… I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”

“TK, you have nothing to apologize for,” he tells him with a smile, squeezing him against his chest. “What happened was an accident. I know it doesn’t help much but it’s not your fault.”

“I know, it’s just…” TK shakes his head. “Nevermind.”

Carlos frowns but decides not to say anything for now. “Come on, Tiger. Let’s go see Judd. I heard he’s giving the doctors a hard time.”

This time, TK doesn’t protest as he’s led back towards the hospital.

~~~

“Where’s the kid?”

Standing at the end of Judd’s hospital bed, Owen got the strange feeling that he was at his judgment day. Judd didn’t look like he’d even been shot. If it weren’t for the bandage wrapped around his shoulder and the stark white hospital sheets, he could have just been laying in bed. He wasn’t wearing a hospital gown either, something the captain found fairly odd but not important enough to mention.

“He… had to leave. Had a date with a friend,” Owen tells him. They both knew he was lying.

“He’s blaming himself, ain’t he?” Judd asks, groaning slightly as he props himself up on his elbows and looks over. Owen just nods. “Fuck, knew he would. He’s okay though, right?”

Owen nods again. “Yeah, he’s fine. A couple of cracked ribs but he’ll be fine. How are you feeling?”

“Like I’m floating on cloud nine, Cap. Think they gave me the good stuff,” he responds with a shit-eating grin.

Owen laughs. “I don’t doubt it.”

There’s a moment of quiet as the mood slowly shifts and Judd looks up. “Any idea where he is?”

Owen shakes his head. They both knew who Judd was referring to. “I don’t know. He told me he wouldn’t be…” he trails off with a shake of his head. “But I don’t know.”

“Yeah, well, he’ll be fine. What happened out there?”

“Paul found cocaine. A ton of it. The guy didn’t want anyone finding out, I guess.”

“Whew-”

“What, no ‘welcome to Texas’?”

Judd shakes his head. “This ain’t Texas shit, Cap. That’s some LA shit.”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah.”

Though the silence between the two had never been awkward before, it was now rife with tension. Owen wasn’t too sure what to say. He knew TK wouldn’t appreciate him telling Judd about their earlier talk but right now, he was considering telling Judd their entire life story just to have something to talk about. Thankfully, by some sort of miracle, he’s stopped from oversharing by the door opening and a light cough from the doorway.

Owen turns around immediately to see TK and Carlos standing there in the doorway. Carlos’s arm is wrapped around TK’s shoulders in a protective gesture and the police officer is giving them both a look that dares them to try anything. TK, for his part, was just standing there with his eyes on his shoes and his arms wrapped around his chest as if he could hold himself together just like that.

Nobody says anything for a few moments before Carlos nudges TK, prompting a slight glare at the other man and a quiet, “Hey.”

“Howdy, kid. Nice of you to drop by,” Judd responds, not missing a beat. Despite how withdrawn and hesitant TK was at the moment, Judd was acting as if they were just hanging around the fire station. And for that, Owen was grateful. TK hated any kind of pity or sympathy or anything like that. And while Judd wasn’t the type to pity people, Owen knew that his son would definitely interpret any difference in behavior as such.

TK doesn’t respond, leaving them with yet another awkward silence. It takes Owen a moment to see the look Judd was giving him, too busy watching his son with obvious worry. Judd clears his throat and Owen gets the sense that he was tired of waiting for him to catch on. “Hey, Cap, why don’t you and Reyes go call Grace or something?”

The dismissal was anything except subtle but it got the job done. Carlos seems to snap out of whatever protective trance he was in and nods. “Right… yeah. Uh- see you later, TK?” TK just nods, still not looking up from his shoes.

With one last lingering glance at his son, Owen follows Carlos out of the hospital room and back to the rest of the crew.

~~~

Judd doesn’t say anything as he watches the kid in the doorway. His posture and expression screams guilt and Judd knows that whatever he’s thinking about was eating at him. He shakes his head. “Am I gonna be receiving an invite to this pity party or is it one of them private affairs?”

TK glances up at that, a hint of a glare on his face as he looks towards Judd. It’s lacking any heat, though, and seemed more instinctual than anything. Judd sighs. “Come on, kid. What’s eating at you?”

There’s another brief moment of silence as TK seems to gather his words before speaking. “You got shot.”

Judd raises a brow. “Believe me, brother, I know.”

“No— you got shot because I wasn’t paying attention. I was flirting with Carlos. Flirting! At work. And you were— you—”

As he speaks, TK starts to pace back and forth across the room and Judd holds up a hand, stopping him in his tracks. “First of all, you’re making me dizzy. Second, this kind of shit happens. It could have happened to anyone. Probie, Marwani, your dad. Hell, even me. You know how many times I’ve tried flirting with Grace over the radio?” TK shakes his head. “Too many times.”

Judd pauses for a moment, just to get a sense of where they were, and then launches into the seemingly endless story of how he’d flirted with Grace over the radio, got himself smacked upside the head by his captain, and sent to the couch for the night by Grace, and almost drowned as a direct result from the incident. Partway through the story, TK migrates over to the hard plastic chair beside Judd’s bed and by the time he reaches the part about the couch, TK’s fast asleep with his head on the bed. Judd doesn’t stop talking just yet, continuing the story as TK lays there, his head laying on his folded arms.

He doesn’t reach the drowning part before he’s dozing off beside the kid, confident that they’d be alright.

Bitter Gurney

Obi-Wan x FemaleDoctor!Reader Part 2

Word count: 2827

Part 1

Summary: Someone is hurt and the reader needs to patch them up. Anakin is a little shit (and Ahsoka too)

Tag list: @scarletsoldierrr​ @langst-is-my-unborn-baby

Warnings: a looooooot of dialogue and yes, this should have a part three because Anakin is a little shit. This has like no plot or character development lol. Have another gif to appease the awful writing:

How long had she been here? (Y/N) had already lost count of her days in the ship. After Waxer’s surgery, the Jedi and their troops had to continue with battles not far from where the cruise was. It was quiet and awfully boring, the doctor spent most of her days reading, training nurses, studying and staring at the endless space thinking about her new Jedi friends.

It almost seemed forever when she got a call from the admiral, warning her that the battle ships were coming back with probably some injured people. (Y/N) felt a little guilty for feeling that rush of adrenaline she was feeling, fueling her preparations and orders she started to give all the nurses and droids on the floor. She expected moderate injuries, and prepared for at least one possible dangerous case. The surgery room was already prepared and the gurneys waiting, Doctor Wilhar in full uniform. Soon, the infirmary was flowing with life, many troopers were in need of a stitch or two, but thankfully no one needed surgery.

As she was finishing patching up a soldier, she looked how Anakin and Ahsoka carried Obi-Wan. (Y/N) almost ran, fearing he would be the surgical case. “What do we have here?” She asked as she got closer. Ahsoka then spoke:

“A blaster wound in his left side, I think it grazed him.” (Y/N) in full doctor mode called a gurney, checking Obi-Wan’s vitals. Steady heart beat and even breathing, perhaps a little agitated.

“How are you feeling General?” She asked, opening the door of a private room where she would be able to asses the situation further.

“I’m fine.” He said flinching a little bit when he moved to sit up. (Y/N) pushed his chest backwards, making him lay down.

“Of course you are. I need everyone to exit the room.” She simply said, Anakin and Ahsoka leaving a little reluctantly. “I’ll take off your top robes, I hope that’s okay.” She warned, not waiting for a response as she slipped her gloves on. Dr. Wilhar didn’t flinch at his gun wound, she had seen worse. “This needs some stitches, but it is superficial damage, you’ll be fine.” She assured, looking for the stitching kit and anesthesia. “Don’t worry, I’ll anesthetize this part, so you won’t feel  a thing.”

“It’s alright darling.” (Y/N) ignored the pet name, as she started to work, fully concentrated.

“Rough fight?” She asked, trying to make conversation and relax Obi-Wan, as she inserted the syringe with anesthesia.

“Not really.” He simply said.

“Then how come you got hurt?” She questioned looking at his eyes briefly.

“Well, I’ve heard such nice comments from your caring servicies I had to see what all the fuss was about.”

“Oh, so you got hit on purpose?”

“No, I look miserable right now.”

“How about next time you come to me when you get a little cut or a small bruise?”

“Would you patch me up?”

“If you are patient.”

“Patience, yes, a Jedi trait.” (Y/N) tried to hold her laughter back, Obi-Wan was talking nonsense, and she didn’t even gave him any medicine yet. She finished stitching him up in silence, cleaning the wound, reaching for gauze. Now that her adrenaline dissipated she noticed Obi-Wan’s lean torso, a few scars adorning his soft looking skin. She felt heat rising to her cheeks, as she also reached for ointment.

“I’ll-”she cleared her throat “I need you to sit up a bit, slowly please.” She indicated, her voice shy. Dr. Wilhar reached for the antibiotics and a cup of water. She gave them to Kenobi, no need to speak her orders, he took them with no hesitation. Meanwhile, (Y/N) tried hard to concentrate on applying the ointment and tying the gauze around his torso, it was almost like hugging him. She haven’t noticed how close they were until she felt weight on her shoulder.

Tilting her head just to watch what was the weight, she found that Obi-Wan had fallen asleep, his forehead on her shoulder. (Y/N) almost squeaked but contained herself, she didn’t want to wake him up. She softly laid him down, covering him with the thin sheet the gurney offered. With a little hesitation she pushed his hair back; she was glad she did that, because as she lightly touched his forehead she felt his temperature higher. Following protocol she injected the IV with solution to avoid dehydration. She then exited the room, looking around the infirmary, everything under control.

Today she was really, skeptical, but against her gut feeling, she entered General Kenobi’s room in the infirmary and although she didn’t have to do this, because there were less tedious methods, she decided to grab a small towel and a bucket full of ice cold water. She started to wipe off Kenobi’s forehead sweat, smiling when he sighed in relief because of the fresh water.

(Y/N) could only admire his face while systematically taking care of him. She was so into it, she didn’t notice Anakin, Rex and Cody spying from the window of the door. “Oh, c’mon.” Cody complained, afraid he would loose his bet with Rex, because if his eyes didn’t deceive him, it was the Doctor the one with lovey-dovey eyes, not the other way around. Rex chuckled, tasting victory.

“What?” Anakin asked. Both clones looked at each other, debating in their minds if they should tell Skywalker, after all he was a Jedi as well.

“Well…”

“What?” Anakin pressed on.

“We have a bet, you see.” Rex started, now filling a little guilty. “I think that Dr. Wilhar will fall for the General, while Cody thinks otherwise.”

“‘Fall for’? As in, fall in love?” Anakin shook his head. “Obi-Wan is already in love with someone else, he might not admit it, but he is.”

“With whom?” Cody asked.

“Duchess Satine.” Anakin gossiped. The three of them felt silent.

“I still think I win.” Rex interrupted the silence. Cody’s face scrunched up at his statement, clearly asking why. “Have you seen the look on her face? I saw her treat a lot of people but she never got all blushy and nervous.”

“So what? The general was flirting with her.” Cody pointed out.

“Nah-uh, it was flattery.” Anakin defended. “Obi-Wan flatters with everyone.” Then a discussion started about the fine line between flattery and flirting. Hearing commotion outside (Y/N) opened the door.

“What’s all this noise about?” She scolded, making them hold their tongues. “General Kenobi is sleeping and has a fever right now, if you want to visit you may do it when he wakes up.” She informed, closing the door again. The three men continued arguing if they were in love or not for too much time, until Ahsoka arrived. Then, she joined the discussion.

“Uh-uh, I don’t care who that duchess is, I believe (Y/N) is cooler.” The togruta stated, crossing her arms with a sassy aura. “She saves lives and is a total badass. The duchess sounds like a snob.” She taunted, making Cody laugh.

“We’ll see who Obi-Wan likes more.” Anakin challenged. Needless to say, Obi-Wan was about to get a whole lot of stress.

******

The lights were too bright for the Master Jedi, they made him feel dizzy. He moved one of his hands to his eyes to cover them, noticing the rough texture of a towel in his forehead in the way. He was alone, he could sense it, and he was actually grateful, Anakin would probably nag at him, increasing the pain pulsing in his head.

A few minutes later someone opened the door, closing it softly. He peeped thorough his arms, and was glad to found (Y/N) smiling softly at him, her white coat on, a data pad on her hands. “Good morning General. How are you feeling?” She asked, looking at his vitals and noting them down on the data pad.

“My head is about to explode.” His hoarse voice spoke. The doctor removed the towel now pressing her cold hand against his forehead. Obi-Wan almost sighed at the contact, her hands felt amazing.

“I believe you don’t have a fever anymore, which is really good. Can I take a look at your stitches?” She asked as a formality, moving her hands to the thin sheet covering his torso, grazing her fingers just a little against his abdomen. Obi-Wan couldn’t contain the shudder this time. “Sorry my hands are little cold, the ship is freezing.” The Jedi shook his head, trying to ignore the fact that his shivering wasn’t because her hands were cold, but because he felt her touch electric. He took a good look at the doctor, she look as splendid as the day he met her, only a bit more tired; she had dark circles under her eyes and looked a little scruffy. Nevertheless, he had underestimated how much he had missed her, it was refreshing seeing the caring smile on her face, feeling the soothing aura she carried around and listening to her honeyed voice. “Obi-Wan?” She asked, apparently again.

“Sorry darling, I was distracted.” The doctor cleared her throat, a pink tint creeping on her cheeks.

“I was commenting you, General, that you overslept. I think the battle took a toll on you, you should rest more and take care of yourself. You are a Jedi, not inmortal.” She stated. The Jedi flinched at her formalities.

“You can drop the title Doctor, please call me Obi-Wan.” Just when (Y/N) was going to do a cheeky remark about his pet-names, Anakin opened the door with a big smile on his face, Ahsoka following right behind, snickering about whatever Anakin had told her earlier.

“Hi (Y/N)!” Ahsoka greeted, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “How’s Master Kenobi?”

“He’ll be alright as long as he stays in bed for at least one more day. Can you do that General?” She teased with a knowing smile.

“I’ll try.” He answered following her game, making her laugh.

“Skywalker, try to keep as quiet as you can, alright?” She taunted at the loud Jedi, a hand on her hip.

“Whatever.” He replied, rolling his eyes playfully.

“Alright, I’ll come back later Obi-Wan.” She waved at the door, Ahsoka following the Doctor. “It’s something the matter?”

“No…” she replied with a suspicious tone. “I just noticed that you called Master Kenobi by his first name.”

“He told me to.” She excused herself. Ahsoka hummed, still looking at the doctor. “What?” She asked a little embarrassed for no reason. The young padawan still looked at her, (Y/N) felt as if she was reading her. “He calls me darling, I think I have the right to call him by his first name.” She blurted out. Ahsoka's grin became bigger, she even giggled.

“He does what?!” She asked in a higher pitch from the one aloud in the infirmary. Doctor Wilhar shushed her.

“It's just a stupid pet-name.”

“He doesn’t call everyone darling.”

“I bet he does, and it's annoying.” A short silence indicated Ahsoka was thinking. Then she gasped:

“Ohhh!! You know what you should do? If he calls you darling, you should reply him back with another pet name!”

“What?” (Y/N) deadpanned.

“I do it all the time. Men get really uncomfortable when you call them some pet name back.” She assured her.

“I don’t want him to be uncomfortable.” Dr. Wilhar replied, her softer side appearing from the back of her brain.

“If you do it just once I bet he would stop… unless you actually like him calling you darling.” Ahsoka teased, her snippy side showing.

“Fine.” (Y/N) sighed, annoyed. She then proceeded to make the check ups of her patients, Ahsoka chatting with her, keeping her company.

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan was having a stupid argument with Anakin. “Why would want to know anything about Satine?”

“Because, I care about you Master and I feel like she’s an important part of your life.”

“She’s not. We are very different people, plus I took an oath to the Jedi Code, it’s not wise to keep her on my mind.”

“So you wouldn’t break the code for her?”

“No.”

“And for (Y/N)?”

“What kind of question is that?” Obi-Wan asked annoyed. “Are you really asking about me? Or are you the one in love with Dr. Wilhar?” Anakin contained his need of denying it instantly, after all, his whole love and devotion were dedicated to Padmé.

“I am.” He lied, crossing his arms, laying back in the chair.

“What?!” Obi-Wan asked, his demeanor not as calm as he would like to mask. He would be lying if he would say he wasn’t a little bit angry.

“Do you have a problem, Master?”

“Yes I do. You took an oath to the code! You can’t just foolishly fall in love with some girl you met!” Then Obi-Wan noticed, he wasn’t talking to Anakin, he wasn’t scolding Anakin. He was scolding himself.

“She’s not just a girl!” Anakin defended, getting himself in character. Before Obi-Wan could continue, there was a knock on the door. Ahsoka came in, Dr. Wilhar following behind. The padawan stood by her master, sensing the awkward aura around both Masters.

“Visiting hours are over, so both of you should go to your quarters to get some sleep.” (Y/N) informed Anakin and Ahsoka. “Have a good night.” She smiled brightly.

“See ya (Y/N).” Ahsoka waved.

“I hope I’ll see you later, sugar lips.” Anakin said in a husky voice, then smirked. Ahsoka, who was still around, had her mouth hanging open.

“Uh… what?” (Y/N) asked to no one in particular, looking at the Jedi exiting the room. She looked cluelessly at Obi-Wan, but he just shook his head. “What the hell was all that about?” She asked now realizing what Anakin had called her.

“You should ask him.” The older Jedi replied, a little bitter. (Y/N) proceeded to check all his vitals again and his wound. At this point, Obi-Wan would have been bored about the whole procedure if it weren't for the doctor, he would watch her do the same thing over and over again with fascination.

“Well, we are finished for today. Tomorrow morning you should be ready to go.” She stated a polite warm smile on her face. She stood really close to his bed, one of her arms holding her data pad firmly while the other dangled on her side. Obi-Wan was temped to hold her lonely hand, but just nodded. The doctor nodded as well and started to turn towards the door, when a firm grasp in her wrist stopped her softly.

“You should come with us.” He blurted out. (Y/N)’s eyes opened slightly surprised.

“Where?” She asked confused.

“Wherever we go.” He replied still holding her wrist, with a softer grasp. (Y/N) had to think what was he exactly proposing. Most of the times, when the troops had to go somewhere to fight they left in smaller ships, compared to the one she was, which usually stayed in pacific areas, rather than war zones. (Y/N) knew there was a provisional infirmary in every little ship, but she would have to train everyone again and spend so much more time curing people and it sounded like the best plan ever.

“I would love to, but I’ll have to deal with somethings here before joining your adventures.” (Y/N) tried not to shiver at the soothing touch of Kenobi’s hand, she also tried really hard to contain her impulse of saying yes immediately.

“I’ll wait patiently darling.” And there he went again, with the annoyingly sweet pet-name.

“Thank you, honey.” She replied, a little sarcastic tone lacing her words. The Jedi’s heart skipped a beat and completely ignored the fact she did it on purpose, because it sounded so right when she called him that he contained himself from taking her hand and kissing her hands. (Y/N) would be lying if she wasn’t proud of herself when she saw the blush creeping on Obi-Wan’s cheeks and ears, but she was lightly blushing as well. “Good night, Obi-Wan.”

Just when (Y/N) closed the door to Kenobi’s room, she saw Anakin laying against the wall, his arms crossed and eyes closed. “Skywalker, what are you doing here?” She asked, a little uncomfortable knowing he probably heard the little banter with Obi-Wan. In the room she left, Obi-Wan was focusing on not being completely furious with Anakin and his intentions towards the doctor.

He repeated in his head over and over again that he was angry because Anakin was breaking the code, but he knew, deep down, that he actually was feeling jealousy. As his former master had taught him, he started to carefully meditate and sort out his feelings, trying to repress them as much as he was capable off. He couldn’t get that uncomfortable tug on his chest.

Fandom: Thunderbirds Rating: Teen Genre: Hurt/Comfort/Angst Characters: Brains, Virgil Tracy, John Tracy, Alan Tracy, MAX

Part 5 of my entry for @gumnut-logic‘s SensorySunday: Smell. Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Nope, this fic is not back on track at all.  Thanks to Nutty for helping me with Virgil... although Virgil is also the reason we’re back off the rails again, so there’s that.  This is my first time writing TAG!Brains (I have some TOS!Brains in a wip but his stutter is different, and there’s no MAX).  It’s also always awkward writing the pov of someone smarter than me...

“I-It doesn’t make sense!” Brains declared to MAX, who whistled back at him sadly.  His hands were shaking, and he curled them into balls.  John’s call, interrupting some Thunderbird Three maintenance and potential upgrades, had been full of nothing but bad news.  Scott hospitalised, Gordon heading home with broken bones, and all because one of their pods – a pod Brains had designed – had exploded on them.

Calculations whizzed past in front of him, all the variables and what-ifs of a HeliPod’s construction. Had he made a mistake?  Was he sending the boys out with a ticking time bomb? Mr Tracy would never forgive him for such an error.

MAX whistled at him again, insisting that he hadn’t made a mistake, but he just shook his head at his creation.

“N-no, MAX.  There m-must be an explanation.  Thunderbird Five d-didn’t detect anyone e-else in the vicinity, s-so it must be an issue with the HeliPod.”  But what?  The schematics didn’t highlight anything out of the ordinary.  Information streamed from Thunderbird Two on the exact makeup of that particular pod showed nothing odd, either.

He started again, back from the top.  What was he missing?  Nothing was coming up, all the calculations were perfect, assembly had gone without issue, no issues with any of the parts used.  Nothing, nothing, nothing.

In the corner of the display, Scott’s suit telemetry taunted him.  Another failure.  He needed to look into that as well, find a way to improve its heat resistance.  What if Virgil hadn’t been so close?  HeliPods could go a long way from Thunderbird Two. Their suits were supposed to protect them.  It had failed.

Was there a way to get neoprene to resist higher temperatures?  Would he need to argue with Scott about replacing the fingerless gloves with full-cover like his brothers’?  Scott had said he didn’t need them, that the extra dexterity made piloting easier, and Brains preferred not to clash horns with the eldest Tracy brother if he could, but he couldn’t let this happen again.

MAX whistled at him again, turning around in a circle before heading out of the room.  His concentration broken by the sudden departure, Brains heard the unmistakable sound of Thunderbird Two returning to her hangar.  He hadn’t heard Thunderbird One, but that wasn’t overly unusual when he was distracted by his work.

Thunderbird Two. Virgil.

He hurried to the hangar, arriving just as a stretcher bearing a bundled-up Gordon was offloaded.  Alan was already there, bouncing up and down nervously at his brother’s side, but it was Virgil Brains needed.

“V-Virgil!” he called, running across the hangar and almost falling flat on his face.

“Can it wait, Brains?” the larger man asked, frowning down at his brother.  “I have to get Gordon settled.”

“Do you have the H-heliPod?” he asked.  Virgil’s face went dark.

“Buried under an avalanche,” he said.

“O-oh.”  Brains needed that HeliPod.  Calculations didn’t tell him what had gone wrong; he needed to see the actual remains and analyse them.

“Brains, I have to get Gordon sorted, then get back to the hospital.  The HeliPod is not important right now,” Virgil said firmly, but Brains shook his head.

“N-no, Virgil.  I n-need to see that HeliPod a-as soon as possible. U-until I can determine w-what happened to make it e-explode, I c-cannot allow any of y-you to use a-any of the p-pods.” Brains didn’t like arguing, let alone with Virgil, who was usually the calmest and most reasonable of the on-Earth Tracys, but this was important.  Too important to wait.  “I-I can take Thunderbird Two myself.”

“No!” Virgil snapped. “The site’s too dangerous.”

“Uh, hey, Virg?” Gordon interjected, making Brains jump.  He hadn’t even realised the aquanaut was conscious.  “You know you’ve got to go back anyway?  Thunderbird One?”

“Thunderbird One can wait,” Virgil said stubbornly.  “Sorry, Brains.  You’ll have to do your assessments another way.  We can’t retrieve the HeliPod.”  He stalked away, towing the stretcher with him.

MAX whistled mournfully.

“I know, MAX,” he replied. “I n-need to see the remains t-to see what happened.”

“I’ll take you!”  Alan appeared at his shoulder.  “Come on, let’s find out what happened to my brothers!”

“ALAN!” Virgil roared.  There was the sound of heavy boots pounding across the hangar floor, and Virgil was back in front of them, every inch the angry bear he could be when provoked.  “Absolutely not.  You are staying right here on Tracy Island with Gordon.”

“But… Scott will be happier if Thunderbird One’s back home,” Alan protested, poking the bear in a way Brains could never gather the courage to do.  “And Brains is right!  We have to know what happened to Scott and Gordon.  What if it was the Hood?”

“Then we leave Kayo and the GDF to deal with it,” Virgil growled.  “John is already in contact with them.  Once Scott’s out of surgery, Kayo’s going to the site to see what she can find.”

“She’s going alone?” Alan gasped.  “But- isn’t that dangerous?”

“Kayo’s trained for that sort of thing,” Virgil pointed out.  “You are not.”

“But… but…” Alan started. “But if Thunderbird Two needs to go back to retrieve Thunderbird One anyway, why not go at the same time as Kayo?”

“Alan-”

“It’s in an avalanche zone, right?  So if we wait too long, there might be another one and then Thunderbird One will be even harder to get!”

Brains refrained from mentioning that it was possible, if time-consuming, to construct a brand new, upgraded, Thunderbird One, and that the boys got unhealthily attached to their machines despite his warnings to the contrary.  While it was true, it would do nothing except give Virgil another reason to not go back, and while Thunderbird One was replaceable, the information from the damaged HeliPod was not.

Virgil looked unimpressed, arms crossed and unmoving in the face of his youngest brother’s arguments. Brains feared that he’d need to hijack Thunderbird Two himself the moment Virgil was out of the hangar, but he was no pilot and certainly had no head for heights nor speed.

“Virgil,” he started, determined to argue his case one more time, but was interrupted by John appearing.

“Kayo thinks it’s a good idea,” the ginger said.  “She says she’ll meet you there.”

“John-”

“It’s too dangerous for one of you to go alone to a live avalanche site,” John steamrollered. Brains didn’t often get to see John overriding any of his brothers, but even through the hologram and his limited understanding of fellow humans, he could tell that John was angry.  “Brains is right.  There is absolutely no sign of anyone else there on the ridge that EOS or Thunderbird Five can detect, but the HeliPod didn’t explode until they were out of your sight, which means that something is not right.  None of the theoretical calculations Brains or I have run so far explain that, so we need to at least get detailed scans of the HeliPod, if not the physical remains.”

“I-”

“We’re looking at best case scenario, Thunderbird Two’s pods have a potentially fatal flaw, and worst case scenario, someone is actively trying to kill us – and came far too close to succeeding today.  We need answers, Virgil, and we can’t wait for them.  If you can’t leave Gordon, I’ll be down in fifteen minutes to take Thunderbird Two and Brains out myself.”

“John-”

“Thunderbird Two is going back there no matter what, Virgil,” John told him firmly.  “The only say you get is who’s on board.”

Virgil looked furious, glaring at his brother’s hologram.  Brains waited with baited breath, Alan alongside him, as a silent battle of wills took place between the second and third Tracy sons.

“I don’t like it,” Virgil said finally, his tone leaving Brains in no doubt that Virgil absolutely hated it.  “But no-one’s piloting my ‘bird into an avalanche zone except me.  And none of you are coming with me.”

“But Virgil-”

“Alan, you are going to stay right here with Gordon.”  The blond pouted but nodded.

“T-take MAX,” Brains insisted, quietly relieved that he was banned from the flight.  Thunderbird Two was magnificent, but like the other Thunderbirds had a tendency to make him sick.  His robot whistled eagerly, bouncing on his wheels to show his enthusiasm for the idea.

Virgil surveyed him for a moment, brown eyes severe and obviously unhappy with the situation.

“Fine,” he caved, clearly realising that there was no additional risk to including a robot in the flight.  “But I’m getting Gordon settled first.  Alan, come on.  And John?”

“Yes, Virgil?”

“If you’re not down here by the time I get back from the medical bay, I’ll drag you down myself.”

Brains strongly disagreed with that demand.  Thunderbird Five had the most sophisticated computers in International Rescue, and would be crucial to the investigation.

“I’ll be there,” John promised.  Virgil nodded and stalked back across the hangar with Alan in tow.  Brains didn’t watch him go.

“But John!” he protested. “Thunderbird Five’s c-computers will be crucial in the investigation.”

“It’s fine, Brains. EOS can give us all the information we need,” John assured him.  “If I don’t come down, Virgil isn’t going to go at all.”

“I-if you say so.” Brains was dubious, but there was nothing more he could do.  “C-come on, MAX, let’s get you r-ready for the mountains.”

MAX gave an enthusiastic whistle and eagerly led the way back to the lab.  

Refitting him didn’t take long, and soon he had MAX ready and waiting for Virgil in Thunderbird Two. Brains himself settled in his lab chair, his goggles settled comfortably over his eyes to show him everything MAX’s optical sensors transmitted.

Virgil took rather longer to appear, presumably awaiting John’s descent from Thunderbird Five before entering his launch chute, but he finally did so, greeting MAX cordially enough. Brains thought he seemed a little more settled with the idea and part of him wondered if his brothers had continued the conversation out of his earshot.

“Okay then, MAX, let’s go get Thunderbird One, and find out what happened to that HeliPod.  Brains, you ready?”

“R.A.D.”

“Alright then.”  The cargo transporter moved, trundling forwards onto the runway.  Brains didn’t need MAX to look out of the window to imagine the launch ramp engaging itself; nor did he need the audio sensors to hear the rumble of the main engines igniting.  “Thunderbird Two is go!”

Day 3-5 in Guatemala: Clinic Days in Ixtahuacan

Our first clinic day we gathered together, med and vet people, and circled up for the day. After we broke up into our teams, the vet team was busy setting up our intake, surgery, and recovery centers. We then broke up into teams of three. My team consisted of Bhavna, myself, and Joseph, the token boy volunteer on the vet team. The set up for the day functioned like a spay and neuter clinic, in order to control the stray population in the town. We all fumbled a bit that first day, experienced techs and new techs alike, because of the new set up and system. As the day went on, things became more and more cohesive as we worked as a unit and learned from our mistakes via the leadership of our skilled doctors.

There were, like with all things, a few bumps in the road. People started getting affected by the altitude and different food. The nausea got the best of some of our volunteers and became close to fainting. The way everyone else stepped up though was a true testament to everyone’s willingness to put in work. Everyone was ready at the first sign of someone else’s symptoms to take over their responsibilities, so they could get the care they needed. The new system, the greenness of the group, and the bouts of altitude sickness did push the day back by a couple of hours, but this was to be expected. Everyone put in good work and showed a willingness to learn, even with the daunting task of surgical assisting. Everyone went home tired and ready to sleep, so we could come refreshed and ready to prove ourselves the next clinic day.

The second clinic day, it was as if we had an entirely new group of people. With more surgeries that day, we were able to finish a whole two hours earlier than we did the day before. Things happened faster, but they also were done with better precision.

My favorite part of the small animal clinic though was seeing the love shared between two of our patients that were siblings. A couple of sisters were presented to our clinic to get spays, and after the operation in recovery, as the first sister started to wake up, she wiggled her way over to her sister and laid her head on top of her sister’s. It was one of the purest acts I have ever witnessed. It was pure sibling love between two puppies. It was one of the reasons I decided to become a veterinarian.

On the way home from the clinic, my roommates and I met a dog at the front of our house. He immediately came up to us with his tail wagging and his head outstretched for pets. We were all enamored with this extremely friendly dog that had come to greet us, and when our little host sister opened the door, he sauntered right in like he owned the place. I was baffled at first because I thought he was just a friendly street dog, but our host sister explained that this was their cousin’s dog, Spike Tomato. Her two little cousins were asked what they wanted to name their dog. Simultaneously, one had said “Spike”, and the other had said “Tomato”. The family endearingly decided to keep both names. Spike Tomato playfully followed us around the next day as well. Truly, the confident way he went up to everyone in town all day long was a highlight of the trip.

After having some good fun with Spike Tomato, I took my little host sister out to get a treat from one of the local stores before all the students and host families gathered for the farewell dinner. I had grown to really care for her during our conversations at dinner. She would very sweetly take interest in my love for animals, as she too desired to one day become a doctor or veterinarian. I sat next to her during the farewell dinner and talked the night away. I wish dearly that I could see the woman she would become because of her kind heart and curious mind.

Before everyone left the farewell dinner, our Vida leader, Pablo, gathered us all into a circle and said we would be participating in a “Mayan activity”. He just happened to “randomly pick” the one student whose birthday it was to come into the middle of the circle and be the first participant. As they blindfolded him and turned him around to buy time, several locals put a table out in the middle and filled it with cakes and lit candles. They stopped the birthday boy in front of the table, released the blindfold, and all the locals and Spanish speakers began to sing a song many Latin countries sing to celebrate birthdays, “Las Mañanitas”. It must be difficult to be in a foreign country with brand new people on your birthday, but I sincerely hope he felt celebrated and appreciated. It was a fun night celebrating his birthday and our stay with our lovely host families, but we still had one more clinic day before we left.

Our last clinic day in Ixtahuacan, we worked with “large animals”. The itinerary had said “large animal day”, but that day we saw 90 chickens and not one large farm animal. However, this was not a disappointment to me as my love for chickens confounds all reason. Each time I got to pick up a frightened chicken, hold them close to my chest, and lull them till they started breathing slowly and relaxing till they no longer felt the need to cluck like mad, I felt a sense of euphoria. Nothing is more gratifying than calming down a frightened animal and forming a bond based on trust, not that the chicken felt any of that, but I like to think that they did.

It was a lot of patients, but we got through them quickly. We vaccinated the adult chickens with a subcutaneous injection, and for the tiny little chicks, we administered an eye drop vaccine. We also gave sick chickens antibiotics and whatever other care we could give them. The worst case of the day was a turkey who had been pecked by another turkey all over her side. The tissue had become necrotic. Through this case, I learned that turkeys are attracted by the color red. They have an instinct to continually peck at anything colored red, which is why their feeders are usually red or yellow. However, this becomes a problem when one is injured and bleeding because this instinct will cause them to make their wounds worse. Having not grown up with farm animals, I found this day the most valuable since I learned the most. It made farm animal days easily my favorite of all the clinic days.

After wrapping up early, the vet team gathered in a circle to go over the day, but we found we still had time to kill. Dr. Astrid began giving us advice on places to visit in the next town we would be staying in, Xela. As she gave us names of good eateries and destination spots, she mentioned that many of the spots in Xela were haunted. Everyone in the room instantly perked up. We began to share ghost stories and urban legends we were familiar with. Completely engrossed in the conversation, everyone had their eyes glued on whoever had the floor, eager to be spooked by whatever real-life ghost story they had experienced. It was one of my favorite bonding moments, and it made me want to look out for haunted destinations for the rest of the trip. Whether I would use this knowledge to stay away or explore, I still don’t know.

As the ghost stories wrapped up and the med team finished their services, we all climbed onto the bus and said goodbye to the beautiful town of Ixtahuacan, and we eagerly awaited the bustling city of Xela.

Presentation: October 1 - Tony & @dommequinnfab

Kinks: Suspension & Impact

Tony let out a calming breath as he let his weight go. After he and Quinn had arrived, he’d stripped to his briefs, allowing the Domme to help him into the bindings on the apparatus they’d chosen. Once he was bound, the frame tilted, leaving Tony at a 45 degree angle facing the floor. His eyes slid shut to concentrate. It put a strain on his biceps and calves, but the light pain was nice. “I’m ready, Miss,” he told her softly, running over the parts of the body they had discussed.

The initial part of the Presentation - their introduction to the Heads, getting Tony’s limits and safeword, had all proceeded as normal.  Quinn allowed herself to settle into her own head as they proceeded, thinking of nothing except the task in front of her.  If her mind wandered it would wander to her previous failure, and she didn’t need to think about that any more than she already had.  Getting the submissive secured was a quick process, and she nodded at his assurance.  “Good boy.  Let’s start...here.”  She gave him two strikes with her leather paddle at roughly where his kidney would be, the double tap indicating that he should be thinking of what was beneath rather than the surface she’d hit.

Tony crinkled his nose at the slap of leather on his skin, but didn’t hesitate more than a breath before answering. “Kidney, Miss. Located in the retroperitoneal space of the abdomen, part of the urinary and endocrine system. Function is to filter toxins from the body to be excreted. Procedures involving the kidneys are dialysis, urinalysis, and nephrectomy in the case of renal cell carcinoma to cure it,” he rattled off without even thinking.

“Very good,” Quinn nodded.  Not that she could actually tell whether he was right or not, because her knowledge of biology had started and ended in high school, but it sounded right and she was willing to assume that meant it was.  Tony was incredibly smart, bound for med school, and he most certainly knew what a kidney did.  She circled him slowly, deliver small slaps that weren’t meant to be questions, before double-tapping the skin over his heart.  There was so much to say about that, after all.

He smiled softly at the praise, letting out a soft breath before just relaxing into the light slaps. The hints of pain helped him focus on the task at hand. Breathe and focus. Tony hissed at the double slap, then cleared his throat. “The heart, Miss. Divided into four chambers, used to filter and pump blood throughout the body. Issues can include valve problems, thin muscle in the walls of the heart, and irregular heartbeat, among others. Most fascinating procedure involving the heart is bypass, when a machine is used to pump blood through the heart so that the affected veins or arteries can be properly fixed during surgery,” he said with a hint of awe in his voice. Though it wasn’t a new thing, bypass still fascinated him.

Quinn stalked around him as he answered, her heels clicking lightly with each step.  She kept her head cocked to one side, listening to make sure that his answers weren’t becoming rote - after all, they were there to interest the Heads, not to lecture.  Fortunately the passion in his voice was very compelling, and found herself wanting to know more even though she hadn’t really been interested previously.  “Very good.”  Another series of slaps followed, spread all over his body and this time more forceful, before she stopped again.  “Let’s try something a bit more complicated.  How about...this?”  She delivered two quick blows to a spot on his abdomen roughly where his appendix would be.

The sting made him squirm slightly, heat flushing through his skin as the crop swatted over him. “Mm, yes, Miss.” Tony arched as she smacked over his gut, swallowing hard. “Yes, Miss. The appendix. Widely thought to be useless since it can be removed without much trouble, but it maintains good bacteria in the body, which can help with gastrointestinal disease. However, in the case of appendicitis, it could lead to death if the appendix remains untreated.”

Quinn nodded, trying to decide on her next target even as Tony spoke.  If they got too predictable, that would only cost them points in the end, so she decided to make a last-minute adjustment and hope that Tony could play along.  “You’ve done well so far, Tony.  But let’s try something a little bit different this time.  I’m going to give you seven swats.  The part of you that I hit the fifth time is the part I want you to describe for me.  I know you can focus and get this.”  She dispersed the swats quickly, and nearly randomly.  Foot, arm, buttocks...on the fifth, she rapped him on the head, indicating his brain, before adding two more swats to his chest.

Tony thanked her for the compliment, his head spinning pleasantly as his subspace began to take hold. His eyes blinked open to focus on her command. It was different than they’d discussed, but he hadn’t sunk deep enough yet to be unable to comprehend. “Yes, Miss,” he agreed, her title ending on a soft yelp when she began swatting him. One, two, three, four, five… “The brain, Miss. More specifically, the frontal lobe, the center known for housing the ability to problem solve, to make judgement and motor function. Subject to many maladies, including encephalitis, menangitis, brain tumors, cerebral edema and intracerebral hemorrhage. Also subject to many procedures, including craniotomy, where holes are drilled into a patient’s skull to relieve pressure in the case of swelling inside the brain.” He could have gone on for hours about the brain, his main interest, but he made himself stop.

Relieved that Tony had been able to work with her on the fly, Quinn smiled as he described the segment of the brain she’d indicated in great detail - he was extremely knowledgeable, and there was no doubt in her mind that he’d go on to med school just the way that he wanted to.  “Very, very good.”  She continued her slow path around him, delivering stinging swats on his thighs and torso.  “I’m not going to hit you for the next one, I’m just going to touch the crop to it.”  Lifting the tip to his head, she pressed it down over his eye and held it there for a moment to make sure he felt it.  There was no way she could have hit him there without risking damage, so a simple press would have to do the job.

He smiled at the praise, letting out a relieved breath. “Thank you, Miss.” Each little swat made the sub whimper happily,that pleasant swirl in his mind getting even more pronounced with each spark of pain. Tony closed his eyes, concentrating on where the crop hit. He flinched slightly when leather pressed lightly to his eye. “The eye. It’s made up of two separate parts, with over thirty different components. The human eye is capable of detecting over 10,000 colors. Most ocular surgery is done with lasers now, thanks to the advancement of technology. But it remains one of the most delicate places to perform surgeries on, because of how delicate the muscle and veins inside are.”

Quinn nodded, the crop swinging back and forth against his body as regular as a metronome.  They weren’t savage blows, or even particularly powerful ones, but on top of all the swats that she’d already landed she knew Tony was going to feel it in the morning.  “Not to mention that they come in so many pretty colors,” she murmured softly.  “You’ve done so, so well.  Let’s try two more, and we’ll consider your exam finished.  How about…here?” she tapped him on the chest twice, right over one of his lungs.

The rhythm of the slaps of the crop was almost soothing, the overall sting on his skin probably one of the best feelings he could imagine. “Mm, that’s… also a perception, Miss,” he murmured, his words almost slurred since they weren’t an exact answer. Tony gulped hard, nodding, stuttering out a breath. “The lungs. The main organ of the respiratory system. Though they’re covered under two separate surgical specialties - pulmonology for the respiratory tract, and cardiothoracic for the lungs themselves. They’re susceptible to many diseases, considering the amount of work they have to do for the body. The right lung is heavier and bigger than the left, consider the left lung has to share chest space with the heart.”

“Excellent,” the crop began its steady beat once more, leaving the ghost of red kisses up and down Tony’s skin.  There were very few areas she hadn’t already colored, but she was slowly finding them.  “Just one more, and you’re there.  Such a good boy.  Why don’t you tell me about...this?”  She tapped his upper abdomen on the right side, hoping that she remembered correctly where the liver was.  That area was crowded with organs, and she didn’t want to mess him up by indicating something other than what she was asking for.

The sting of pain was wonderful, but making his head spin a little bit past his ability to think straight. Tony sucked in a breath, shaking his head slightly, his brow furrowing to try and keep his focus. “The… the liver, Miss,” he said after a moment, figuring it was what she meant since it was the biggest organ in that area. “It’s actually a gland, and it works in detoxifying the blood, and the production of biochemicals for digestion. It produces bile, which gets stored in the gall bladder. The only way to fix failing liver function is a liver transplant, though dialysis can work in the short term. However, those who donate livers can still have normal liver function because it regenerates.” He let out a breath, sagging lightly in the bonds holding him to the frame.

There was a long moment where Quinn wondered whether she’d get an answer, but fortunately Tony did an excellent job of focusing and picked up on exactly what she’d wanted him to explain.  “Wonderful,” she praised.  Turning her attention to the heads, she raised her voice slightly.  “Hopefully you were entertained and educated, and we thank you for the chance to present for you today.  I’ll be taking Tony back to my suite for aftercare.”  She returned her attention the submissive, loosening his restraints and helping him step down from the frame.  “I’ve got you,” she murmured quietly.  “Lean on me as heavily as you need to.  You did so well, and I’m proud of you.”

He let out a happy sigh when Quinn turned to address the headmasters. He could relax now, could appreciate the fuzz inside of his head… could just ride the high of his submission. “Thank you, Miss,” he murmured, his voice almost slurred as he leaned against her side. Tony was more than ready to just have some quiet time, hopefully kneeling with his head on Quinn’s knee, until he felt more himself - though he really didn’t want to come out of this blur of submission any time soon.

Beauty Tips That Everyone Should Know About

The world of beauty is very vast and exciting. There are so many ways that one can gain, and then use knowledge of this field to help themselves feel more confident and attractive Tribal Tattoos . It depends completely on the individual. That said, no matter what your beauty skills are, here are some tips that you wil find to be extremely useful.

Smear Vaseline onto your feet before you go to bed. This softens them and makes them smooth, almost as if you had just come from having a pedicure. Make this a nightly ritual for your beauty routine so it becomes a habit. After applying the Vaseline, make sure you put on breathable cotton socks in order to allow your feet to properly absorb the benefits.

You can easily exfoliate your face lightly during your daily bath or shower by using a soft, nubby terrycloth or wash rag. This is especially effective if the water is warm, not hot, and only if you are using the cloth for the first time. Never use the same cloth two days in a row as bacteria may build up overnight.

Use fake eyelashes. They are actually easy to apply and can be found at a cheap price. They can really enhance the look of your eyes and are great for creating that dramatic look. You can use a look like this anytime, but it's often a look many try to go for at night.

Your hair color should influence which cosmetic colors look the best on you. For example, if you are a brunette, you can use a dark mahogany eyeshadow as a multitasking tool. In a pinch, it can be used to fill in sparse eyebrows, line your upper lash line, and even cover gray roots on your hairline.

These processes open up your follicles, leaving skin vulnerable. If you do it anyway, you take the risk of severe irritation. Also stay away from products that have a strong scent after you sugar or wax, they will also lead to irritation that can be hard to find relief from.

Give yourself a quick facial at home by filling a bowl with hot water, and then steaming your face over it with a towel draped over your head. This will open your pores and help to eliminate black heads. Follow with a cold water rinse to close the pores and continue your makeup routine.

If your face is a bit on the long side, you can make the effect seem less severe, simply by using some well-placed cream blush. Opt for a dark rose or brick shade, then use your fingertips to apply the color only on the apples of your cheeks; do not extend the color past this point, as it can actually make your face appear, even more narrow.

If you have very narrow eyes, you can create the illusion that they are more widely opened by first using an eyelash curler to curl your top lashes. Apply a dark brown mascara to the middle lashes, then tilt the wand diagonally and apply the mascara to the outer lashes.

Duplicate beauty products can help you to limit any beauty emergencies. You should keep these in an accessible place, like on your bathroom counter. By doing this, you are certain to be prepared to apply makeup at all times.

Avoid licking your lips. When you constantly lick your lips, rather than become moist, they actually dry out. Try carrying a lip balm or gloss in your pocket or purse, and put it on anytime you feel like doing some licking. You will soon find your lips in beautiful condition.

Do not pick or squeeze at your face. A simple beauty rule is to keep your hands off of your face, except to clean or moisturize. You run the risk of causing scars when you pick at your face. You can also transfer oil and dirt onto your face when you are touching it.

Beauty is a fascinating and exciting world that is only limited by the extent of a person's imagination. There are endless possibilities, products, combinations, and techniques. Start experimenting to find something new for yourself or to learn something new that you can better for your own usage. Become inspired by these tips!
