Logan | Hurricane

[captainjack]

The wind had begun to howl and Jack had been out in the thick of it. It was his job to make sure people were safe. Not at the cost of his own safety, though, and as the storm really hit, Jack was nearly home. He'd entered Bohemia and was nearly to his hut when part of the roof tore off the bath house. It flew through the air, unseen in the darkness

Logan was getting more and more nervous, and when he finally lost it and decided he was going to go find his husband, he was not pleased to find the man in question at their door.

"What the fuck have you been doing? Jesus, Jack, I've been worried about you. Get inside."

[captainjack]

What had he been doing? Jack followed Logan inside and went to the kitchen table.

"I think I was...working," he said. That sounded like something he'd do. "Would I have been working? It's raining. Maybe not."

He rached up to touch his head, a little surprised at just how wet it felt.

[echolls_cursed]

"You were getting people out of the hurricane," Logan replied, eying the blood and frowning.

"Take your clothes off, I'm gonna clean you up. What happened to your head, baby? Tree branch?"

It was hard to tell how bad the wound was, but Jack seemed really out of it. Maybe he had a concussion or maybe he was just fucking with him. Either way, Logan was going to clean him up and take care of him.

"I dunno why you have to do that ITF crap. You should have been home. Safe. I've been freaking out waiting for you."

[captainjack]

"My head hurts," he said softly. He started to peel off his wet clothes but paused so he could think about Logan's question. What had happened to his head? That was a good question.

"My head hurts," he said again. A tree branch...maybe. "I must have hit a tree. You think?"

[echolls_cursed]

"I dunno... You really don't know what happened?" he asked, looking worried as he wet a cloth. "Do you know your name? Do you know my name? ...Do you know where you are?"

[captainjack]

He smiled and snorted a little. "You're Logan and I'm Jack and I'm home. I'm not hurt that bad," he said. He turned the warm smile on Logan for a minute, then looked down at his hand.

"There's blood," he said. "Are you bleeding? Let me see..."

[echolls_cursed]

"You're bleeding," Logan corrected, taking the cloth and starting to clean him up. "We need to get you to the clinic, something's wrong."

[captainjack]

"The clinic? No, I'm okay," Jack said. "My head just hurts. I just need to lay down or something. I got all wet, I think."

He took a breath and thought hard for a minute.

"How did I get home? I was at the beach."

[echolls_cursed]

"You're not laying down, you probably have a concussion. Jack, you have to think, okay? What happened? What hit you?" he asked as he wiped the last of the blood away and looked at the deep gash.

"I'm going to go get a clean shirt to shred. We need to bandage this."

[captainjack]

"A...tree? It had to have been, right?" he asked. It was hard to think and he sighed in frustration. He'd been coming home and then...what? He'd come inside. And his head hurt.

"I might have a concussion. I think I've had one before," he said. He was pretty sure it hadn't been like this, though. Not being able to remember seemed like it might be something that hadn't happened to him before.

"I think you need a doctor," Logan sighed. "Please, we can make it to the compound probably. Or I can go and bring someone back..."

[captainjack]

The storm was raging outside, howling past the windows and pulling at the roof and shutters. The rain was driving down and crashed against the walls.

"I don't think we can get there. I think that's why I came home from work? Because the weather's bad. A hurricane. Yeah. I think we're stuck for the duration."

[echolls_cursed]

"I don't care, I'm going for help," Logan decided as he reached for his coat. "Do not sleep, you hear me?" he said, giving Jack a worried look.

Linus had been napping under the table, and he stretched and yawned before nudging Jack's knee with his nose.

"I'll be right back, do not come out after me."

[captainjack]

"You shouldn't go out there," Jack said, reaching down to pet Linus and then Sugar who was the larger dog's constant shadow.

"I think you should stay. I need...I need a...something."

[echolls_cursed]

"You need a doctor!" Logan snapped, clearly starting to stress and worry.

"Please, Jack, just... Just sit. You need help."

[captainjack]

"I don't. I'm fine. Just...give me a tylenol and stay with me. Keep me awake. That's what they'd do for a concussion anyway. I hate doctors, Logan...and what if House is on duty?" Jack said, memories from long ago coming to him easily.

"Just stay and take care of me. I need you. Just you."
