Things had finally settled down some. The raiders had returned safely from the base and it turned out everyone was stable. The swelling had finally gone down in his hand. Instead of walking strait to agent Cal's room, Panther walked into the waiting area to announce his presence. It still hurt like hell and he was beginning to seriously regret not being just a bit faster.
"I'm here for my appointment." he told the nurse behind the desk and then sat in a chair cradling his bandaged hand above his lap. The initial x-ray from back at the outpost had shown some hairline fractures but nothing serious. They couldn't put a full brace on it till now, but that would be a chore considering he had burns on top of the bones. He sighed and shifted in his chair, waiting was never his strong suite.

While the seeming mass panic from the aftermath of this previous raid had calmed down, the hospital wing had had little time to actually rest. Kofuku rubbed her eyes a little as she walked up to the desk from one of the other patience's rooms, putting down one clipboard only to pick up another. Brushing her pink bangs out of her face, she frowned, only to re-read the name on the form once more.
Turning, her eyes rested on the familiar face. "Agent Panther... if you'll follow me to one of the rooms we'll get started." Between being exhausted from what was going on to be a 10 hour shift and the fact that she was still bitter over the whole incident that had happened between them, things did not bode well. Starting down the hall, she took him towards the empty examination rooms, flipping through the notes from the doctor who had taken his x-rays.

Things did not bode well indeed. His nurse, just so happened to be the one nurse he didn't want to see. Despite it having been some time since the last time he had seen her, he felt tense, and suddenly very angry. Regretting not taking a moment to pumble Will when he saw him earlier he fallowed the younger girl. It seemed she had continued with her training and fully decided to stay as a nurse.
Remaining quiet he fallowed the smaller girl with bouncing pink hair into the examination room and took a seat on the table. He hadn't bothered with his uniform, there was no way he was fitting his gloves on. Instead he scrounged out a standard tee-shirt and jeans look with a light jacket that had the company R on it. He just hoped she didn't make him change into a gown, just to watch him struggle, there wasn't a lot of reason to change when it was just a limb.
The x-rays showed a few hair line fractures on the outside of his hand, two most prominently, spaced about 2 inches apart.

"Take a seat." Kofuku said calmly despite the fact that Panther had moved to sit before she'd even started to talk, her voice not hinting at her feelings about seeing the man again; it did, however, sound a bit tired. Turning her back to him, she clipped up the x-rays to the light board and flicked the switch. It wasn't that she needed to know exactly what was wrong, but she had to make sure that there weren't any unseen problems.
Peering close to the images, she searched carefully for any bone fragments that may or may not have been seen. Finding nothing but the few hairline fractures, she turned to AP and held out an open hand. "Hand please." She stated calmly, biting back the urge to grasp his broken hand has hard as possible.... damn that would have felt so good too.

when she set the x-ray up on the screen he couldn't help but look with some small curiosity; it was his broken hand up on the screen. He leaned over to see it, taking down his glasses a bit to get a good look. It didn't look two awful, a lot less then it felt.
When she asked for his hand she seemed calm, and reluctantly he handed it to her from its babied position against his chest. He felt very awkward still and decided to say nothing and remain quietly compliant for the moment. Instead he watched her taking his glasses off full and and frowning at her. It hurt to move it and even a small touch was jarring.

Oh dear lord how she wanted to just press her thumb down hard into the fractured bones in his hand, just to see him squirm in pain. Instead, she settled for knowing that as she turned his hand. Suppressing a smirk, she made sure that her touch was none to gentle on his burns.
"Damn, you'd better be staying off this for a while..." She muttered under her breath, then sighed. "Technically, you should be put into a cast because of the fracture, but those burns will be needing attention as well...." Her lips twitched into a smirk, giving into impulse and pressing her thumb into the center of his palm. "You haven't iced it at all have you..."

A sharp intake of breath turned into a hiss as she pressed on his hand. "Hey, be careful Damn it!" he yanked his hand away pulling it back up to his chest and attempting to hold it in the most comfortable position possible. There wasn't one.
"And no not really." He had been a bit distracted, Cal's injuries had worried him far more then his own little flesh wound. The bandage and the medication had been enough. That didn't give her who didn't know anything about what had happened to him to judge him over it.
He glared at Fuku, holding his arm in a squeeze to reduce the pain, not so willing to give his hand up.

A snort escaped her as Fuku turned her back to him once again. God, this man was still such a moron. "Keep glaring and I'll make sure you have the longest recovery time possible." She threatened to him, feeling his eyes burn into her back as she rummaged through a cabinet and pulled out a brace. Of course, she couldn't really do that since she'd probably get into some serious trouble... but then again she could always pass it off as a fatigue mistake.
Grabbing a plastic ice pack from a drawer, she broke the chemical seal on the inside to turn it into an cold pack. Tossing it at Panther's face, she walked past him. "Put that on it, I'll be right back."

His earlier assessment had been wrong, she was as uncalm as she could get and still manage professional. The icepack hit his face, despite his attempt to catch it. He sighed exasperated and put it carefully against his hand. He didn't see how ice was going to help it, it wasn't like the ice was going to stop the burning sensation. "Whatever." he snorted and waited hoping she wouldn't be the one assigned to him next time he happened in.

The ice wasn't really going to do much except numb the area a bit and hopefully reduce some of the swelling. Walking briskly down the hall, Kofuku made a small pit stop at the broom closet, closing herself in it before letting her full rage go.
"ARGH! How could I get STUCK with this guy. He's such an absolute moron even after everything! GAAAAAAAAH!" Taking a few breaths to calm herself, she stepped out from the closet and gave a small, guilty grin to one of the other nurses passing by.
It took her a good 10 minutes for her to come back into the room, holding a jar in her hand. "You have severe second degree burns on your hand, and you're lucky your hand is just hairline fractured with no little chips of bone in there. I would recommend that you not use that hand for a long while while the bones heal up... although knowing you, you're just going to go out and do something stupid anyways."

She took forever it seemed. He pulled off the icepack, not wanting it on too much longer after about 7 to 8 minutes. it had numbed the pain, but also caused a deep ache and annoyed him. What was she doing? had she forgotten about him? he hated waiting and was just wondering if he should leave when she returned, and reprimanded him again.
She did not just call him stupid again. "What is your problem!? It's not like you were one of the people blown up. Listen girly, I have a lot better things to be doing then listening to you yell at me for things I haven't even done wrong. I know I can't move my hand because it feels like it's on fire all over again every time I so much as breath on it!" he glared at her, keeping his hand close to his chest. He did not want her touching it again.

Unfortunately for Kofuku, someone had heard her in the broom closet. There was a quiet rapping of knuckles against the door before it was pushed open. A red headed doctor stood on the other side with arms crossed, and a frown on her face.
"Kofuku, do I need to remind you again about your attitude? If you can't be professional, I won't allow you to examine patients."

Kofuku had been just about ready to yell at AP once more when a certain Doctor came in. Hearing the all too familiar voice behind her, Fuku's face immediately flushed in embarrassment and she turned to face Dr. Reyard.
"I... my apologies, Doctor. I'll be sure to keep a closer eye on it." She felt so embarrassed at not only having lost her cool on someone as low as AP, but having to get lectured about it in front of him.

The presence of the doctor caused him to relax, a rare feeling when it came to both authority and doctors, neither of which he liked much. He glanced between Kofuku and the doctor, silently wondering if he would have to put up with more of the pink haired girl's 'treatment.' His hand was still being kept close but he was more then happy to hand it over to the doctor were she to ask for it.

"I would hope so. You know I run a tight ship here, and stressing out patients only agitates their illness or injury. I don't need any of my staff contributing to the unwellness of other Rockets. If you feel that you can't handle something, you need to let me know and I or someone else will see to the patient. Understood?"
The red headed doctor scowled at Kofuku over the rim of her glasses. An occasional glance given to Panther, but she did not address him directly.
