Phone call for Elaine Mallory
Calling Elaine
Harry slumped in his bed, sighing as the pain killers swept all the pain away, and made him tired, too. He dialed Elaine's number slowly on his phone, then tapped the speaker phone on and led it rest on his chest as he lay back.

He grinned as it rang...

Slightly PG-13 for icons and good drugs.

	Elaine had just seen a guest out of her office, and had returned upstairs to the living area to wash up for her lunch break when she heard her phone buzzing on the kitchen counter. She shut off the tap and glanced over; and seeing Harry's number, she picked it up without bothering to do more than swipe her wet hands across her backside. "Hello?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Hey, Elaine?" He made his voice light, but it was strained. "I was wondering if you were busy, right about now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She caught the hint of stress in his voice, and reached for a towel. "Good timing. I've just wrapped up work for the afternoon. What's up?" She tried not to sound too worried. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The drugs really started kicking in and he grinned wider. "Well, I', in the hospital. And you know, nothing too serious. I have to stay overnight for observation. And they gave me the good drugs, and I miss you, a lot. Your smile, and your nose wiggles, and the way you make me feel, and the way your hands and lips make me feel and the way I missed you all these years and maybe I think I want to see you again, if you know you are not busy."

The babblestream came to an end when he coughed and then sort of chuckled. And he would be eternally embarrassed later, when he recalled this.

	Elaine caught a few keywords before things dissolved into seemingly drunken compliments. They were nice compliments, and she heard herself chuckling with him in spite of herself, but those few keywords had her even more concerned. Hospital. Overnight. Drugs.

	harry chuckled at her question. "My lap!" He laughed, then, grinning, thinking it was hilarious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ookay..." Elaine shook her head, in spite of the act that Harry couldn't see it. He was, as Gandalf might say, tripping balls. "How about you tell me which hospital, and then you can explain the rest when I get there?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah? yay!" He paused to try to remember. Where was he again? Oh yeah! "McCoy's hospital! He's an awesome doc!" He hmmed. "Irvine general!" Yeah! That was it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, he'd better be, or he's got me to answer to," she quipped, heading for the door. Shoes. Keys. Lock the door and set the alarm behind her. "I'm getting in the car now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yay! You're awesome! I can't wait to see you! You are cute!" He grinned, snuggling down in the bed. Yay! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You are high as a kite right now, Harry," Elaine said with playful exasperation as she juggled keys and phone. She stuck the phone in her cup holder and switched it to hands-free mode to start her engine and pull onto the street. "Want me to stay on the line?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"High for youuuuuu, Elaineeeee!" He sang her name with a long low tone, and laughed, chuckling. "Mmm, no. No. Dangerous. No getting killed fr me, Elaine. Not again. Not in this world. Need you alive." He shuddered, images of flame and of falling ceiling and of Elaine vanishing into it, rushing through his mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Okay, magic man," she said, "You sit tight, and try not to worry. I'll be there as soon as I can." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ooookay! Seeeeee you soooon!" And he dropped the phone, singing her name quietly. (Reply to this) (Parent)
