Oliver's only reply was to begin trembling all over.

"H...hey Oliver." She made him look at her, drawing his attention to her face. "It'll be okay! I've been practicing and Mister Lex is a good teacher and he wouldn't do anything that would make it worse or more dangerous." She reached out to gently touch Oliver's hand.

"If you want the anesthesia, we can use it. It'll go by quickly. I'll tell you some stories." She lifted her head to look at Lex with a questioning gaze. Oliver didn't seem to be alright without it. She set the needle down, and reached for a syringe instead filled with the liquid. "H..Hold your arm out." She smiled as gently as she could.

It had been several days since the good coffee maker, the one Jack preferred most on the island, had begun making some weird noises. At first it hadn't been much of a problem. Once Oliver's initial wariness had worn off, he paid it no mind since it still brewed what was considered an acceptable cup of coffee for his superior.

Until one day it didn't. It didn't brew anything. It just sat there, making noises. Oliver frowned, and opened the top to see what had happened...

He arrived in the infirmary shortly afterwards. One forearm was red all the way from the palm of his hand to his elbow and had started to blister in several places. But Oliver was glad for it, because it had at least protected his face from the worst of the coffeesplosion. He had no blisters there, only a fierce redness that could have been a horrible sunburn had it not spread from his cheek to his jawline and neck.

Oliver briefly looked at Noemi's face, but then his gaze wandered over to the syringe. He was starting to look a little pale, and the way his eyes darted towards the door it was fairly evident his fear was starting to get the upper hand. He unconsciously pulled his arm closer to his body.

"C-can I... um... j-just..." His eyes darted to the door again.

Lex gave a deep sigh, shaking his head. This wasn't working out well at all. He did want the anesthesia, but Oliver also wouldn't stay still for Noemi to begin stitching his wounds. Of course the nervous wreck would be her first solo attempt.

"Oliver, please. Take the anesthesia, it'll be over before you know it."

Noemi hadn't wanted to do this, but Oliver left her no choice.

"Lex will you please hold him down?" She murmured to the older life hunter, prepping the needle. "This is for the best Oliver, So please be calm." She gave him a small smile. "I wouldn't hurt you."

Noemi had been filling out medical reports, nervously chewing on the bottom of a pen as she sat in the break room for the infirmary workers. Her eyes were almost glazing over with all she had been reading, and what she had been learning. Lex had been great with her, allowing her to lead on a few patients, letting her watch more difficult procedures and even helping with some of the reading material.

At this point, she would think of the lifer as her teacher. And a good man.

As such, she got the call for another patient, quickly organizing her folders together and running to the room. Thankfully Lex would be there again.

Unfortunately their patient was someone she hadn't expected to see again since his ribcage was all healed!

"Oliver!" She set her folders down and smiled at the lifer, "What happened?" She brushed his hair away to look at the red spreading on his side.

The Life trainee tensed, like he was about to make a break for the door, but a moment had come and gone and somehow Oliver resisted the urge to run. He couldn't help nervously glancing from the needle to the door, and then back to the needle, but to his credit he stayed seated. It was a struggle, but he managed to stay in place.

He was in less danger of being forcibly restrained once he stopped glancing at the door. There would be no retreat here. Finally he offered his arm, but it was shaking badly. "I-I don't... feel so good..." Oliver mumbled weakly.

Lex, unfortunately, had a spot of experience in drugging a person when they didn't necessarily want it. He didn't quite like the thought of doing so, not after the whole apology to Stormy and his minor brawl and talk with Evan, but if the situation were dire enough? He supposed he could suspend his vow to not dabble in malpractice.

Ge was ready to do it, ready to clamp Oliver down and take the prepped needle to the boy, but he ended up giving in without the need for such hassle. Good, good. Repeat incidents were not desired. "Probably from blood loss. The pain of a needle is much less than the pain of letting your injuries fester, you know." Lex lightly scolded and shushed Oliver, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder with just enough force to keep him down in case the teen decided to change his mind yet again and bolt.

Oliver had a bad habit of ducking his head, avoiding eye contact and looking smaller than he was, but it was pointless with Noemi. He had to glance down to talk to her anyway.

"Um... N-not much, it's just... the coffee maker..." He trailed off, giving his usual sheepish smile for a second before wincing at the slight pain it brought him. "It's not too bad here, but my arm... it kinda hurts." That was definitely an understatement, he couldn't handle even the slight brush of the injured arm against his clothes, but he didn't want Noemi to worry.

Noemi frowned at his complaint that it was JUST the coffee maker. "If it hurts, then we must treat you!" Noemi ushered the life hunter in a clean room. "I'll make sure to text Lex but we should okay!" The mist huntress did send a text to the older lifer, asking for his assistence in room 21b for the infirmary before reaching for the prelimanary tools.

"How bad is the pain on a scale of like...slight burn or sunburn or?" she started to ease his jacket and shirt off again. She wasn't stripping him but okay she was. "And how long has it been red like this?"

She waited patiently for Oliver to calm himself, and for Lex to reassure her by setting his hand on the young man's shoulder. With a apologetic look at Oliver, she eased the needle and administered the drug to keep his system calm.

"Lay back here." She pushed his shoulder back, easing him onto the bed. Bringing out a table and setting up a towel on it, she lifted his arm and set it on the table and away from the wound so she could work.

After she sterlized the needle, and wiped as much blood away from the wound, She threaded the thread, holding the needle out. There was a deep breath from the mist huntress. Her gaze became focused, her hand steady as she reached down to start the stitching process. Unfortuntely, she was quiet as she worked, her concentration solely focused on making the stitches clean and tight without hurting the wound more.

The boy stifled a pained noise as Noemi pulled off his jacket, but he was reluctant to let her pull off his shirt as well. It was one of his favourite science-dinosaur shirts, only slightly damp at the collar from whatever the coffeesplosion had done to him. The arm of his jacket was still wet and warm to the touch.

"I-it's... ah... ouch..." He winced again, unable to cradle his arm with the large blisters that had appeared. It looked way worse than he had expected now that he had his jacket off. "I-I d-don't know," The kid stammered, staring at his arm as though it belonged to someone else. "I-I just c-came straight here, a-after helping clean up..."

He hadn't even put the burn under water to cool it, like a good Canadian he had been helpful first, and full of apologies for breaking the coffee maker.

The Life trainee whimpered slightly, but it was more from the anxiety than actual pain. But as he did as he was told, and as he lay back and watched Noemi prepare the instruments, his trembling began to subside. By the time she had finished cleaning the wound he barely flinched at the contact.

"Is it going to leave another scar...?" He asked, brows furrowing slightly as Noemi began to make the actual stitches. It hurt a bit, but at the same time, Oliver found he didn't really care. Lex had been right, this was much easier than feeling anxious.

Lex was very glad to have his own coffee maker at the house. He was very, very glad to have a French Press at the house. Especially when the coffee machine in the Infirmary was prone to breakage.

He sighed when he saw it was broken once again, and sighed even more deeply when he Noemi texted him to inform the older Hunter that Oliver was in the infirmary with scald wounds. He could put two and two together.

Arriving shortly thereafter, Lex immediately set to taking off his coat and procuring large rolls of gauze and Ace bandages. "No lacerations from the glass, I hope?" He asked Noemi more than he did Oliver.
