WHO: Jack and Jemma
WHEN: Early hours of Saturday Morning
WHERE: Lawrence Memorial Hospital
WHAT: Finding Jemma
RATING/STATUS: TBC/In progress

Had he finally found her, a Jane Doe admitted to a hospital with a Gun shot wound, still unconscious the admission times kinda matched, she would have been bleeding for quite some time but that would make sense if she had tried to hide and passed out from the blood loss.

Arriving at the hospital Jack managed to sweet talk the receptionist into letting him see if he could identify their Jane Doe. It wasn't too hard his description matched he was escorted to her room and saw her laying there hooked up to a number of machines. Jack was hit with a mixture of relief that he had found her and dread that she was so pale and still unconscious.

Grabbing a doctors attention he found out that apparently the bullet hadn't been lodged too deep but had caused a significant bleed, they had removed the bullet and patched her up and were just waiting for her to wake.

Jack checked his messages and saw none of her friends had replied to his notice. Jack pondered the implications of this, thinking they must all be busy with Garrett Jack pondered, no one to look out for her except him and pulled up a chair and gently took her hand.

Jack felt guilty he'd been selfish he should have suspected she might be a target and not met her in such an exposed place without precautions and backup but dammit she just had such a bright glow, he hadn't met someone with her purity of energy for a long time and he just had to get to know her.

Jack knew he wouldn't get moved from her side until she awoke. He would watch out for her until she recovered. He had tried to message Martha but she was busy with other patients and for now he was hidden, the receptionist had agreed not to disclose any information without checking with him first. They weren't likely to attract any other people searching for her, they were likely safe for now. Jack wished he could move her to a safe location, he debated phoning The Doctor, the TARDIS would be a safer location but he would wait until she awoke and was safe to move.

He sat lent forwards kissing her forehead as lightly as a feather brushing the skin, and then sat there gently stroking her hand and waiting.

It had been quite a few hours since Jack arrived, when Jemma finally started to wake up. But, she was still full of drugs, and feeling very groggy. The first thing she noticed, was how dry her mouth was. The second thing was the feel of someone stroking her hand.

She struggled to open her eyes, to see who it was that was sat with her. But, the drugs were making it hard. However, after a few minutes, she eventually managed to force them open a crack, and she saw an unexpected sight. She'd assumed her bedside companion had been Skye or Fitz. But, instead it was Jack.

"Hello." She smiled, her voice cracking slightly.

Seeing her begin to stir Jack pushed the button to draw in the medical staff, but not moving away or interupting the gentle stroking of her hand he tried to force a smile but this was no longer the carefree face Jack showed most of the world this face was moist with tears of regret.

He felt responsible for this, her being hurt was his fault, he shouldn't be so reckless.

Her eyes opened and she seemed surprised to be looking at him, he couldn't tell if it was a good or a bad reaction but her effort to smile made Jack beam back at her.

"Hey you" he squeezed her hand gently.

Jack looked about to say more when a nurse turns up and begins a cursory examination and a couple of standard questions wrote some notes on her chart, poured her a glass of water, advising her she may need to drink but to take it slowly and to push the call button if they need anythign then left.

As the nurse left Jack moved back to Jemma placing his hand down next to hers barely brushing against it so it is there if she wanted to reclaim it but without forcing her into it.

"Can I get you anything?" Jack asked in a voice so soft it was barely recognisable as his.

Jemma was so pleased that he was alright. I mean, she knew he would be. He was Jack Harkness. A fixed point in time, that couldn't die. But, it didn't stop her from worrying about what Garrett might have done if he was angry that he'd been stopped from killing her.

But, the nurse inconveniently got in the way of her saying any of this. But, it did give her time to fight her way to being a bit more conscious. So, by the time she left, she felt like she could almost think clearly.

"No thank you." She still wondered what had happened to Skye and Fitz. Why weren't they there. "Is everyone else okay? Do you know what's going on?"

"Don't worry" Jack felt the words just slip out, he knew his mistake instantly, realizing that his face was betraying him and all those words could ever do is make someone worry. Jack stumbled on trying to talk his way out of it

"It took me a while to find you after I eventually came back, Garrett was most irate that I got in his way."

Jack took a deep breath stammering breath knowing at this point he had to tell her the truth, but he was worried that the shock would make her hurt herself.

"This isn't going to be easy to hear but I know you'd want to know, first you have to promise me that whatever I'm about to say you won't try and move as you'll tear your stitches."

Not really knowing how she would react Jack gave Jemma time for his words to sink in and for her mind to process her situation, she was a doctor she knew what being where she was meant, but they do say Doctors make the worst patients.

Jack was right, telling her not to worry just made her worry more. But, she was an Agent of SHIELD and she could handle whatever he was going to tell her. She pulled herself into a seated position. Wincing as she pulled on her stitches.

"Jack." She was using her no nonsense voice. "Tell me."

She glanced down at the chart at the end of her bed. "And, hand me my chart. I want to know what they've done."

Jack winces and moves to adjust her pillows as Jemma sits up then starts talking as he dutifully fetches the chart still with the name Jane Doe written on it and hands it over.

The look on his face trying to be reassuring but is obviously forced

"As far as I can work out after Garrett gave me a spine-ectomy he grabbed your bag and used your phone to lure Skye and Ward into a trap."

"He got away with Skye and everyone is mobilised on protective patrols or trying to hunt Garrett and Skye for their own agendas."

As Jack concludes his brief tale the look of forced reassurance fades into genuine concern.

"I think I'm the only one that came looking for you. I've made it pretty tough for anyone else to locate you so your safe here for now."

Jemma yawns slightly, as he hands her the chart. The drugs were still making her pretty drowsy.

"He got Skye?" A look of concern crossed her face. Skye was her best friend, next to Fitz. And, she couldn't help but be worried about her. She knew what Garrett wanted couldn't be good.

But, however much she wanted to help, the drugs were pulling her under again. She was fighting them as hard as she could. But she knew she coldn't fight it much longer.

"Will you help look for her, please? For me." She whispered, as her eyes started to drift closed.

Jack was torn, he didn't want to leave her unprotected and alone, but he also knew he couldn't refuse a lady's request.

"If you promise to sleep and get plenty of rest, I'll head out and join the searching." Jack helped adjust her pillows allowing her to lay back down and gently stroked her hair to sooth her to sleep.

Jack wanted to stay but knew she wouldn't rest if she was not doing everything to help her friend even if it meant being left alone, he stood up and leaning over whispered softly in her ear.

"I'll make sure she is safe"

With that he kissed her cheek tenderly and turned to leave.
