High Pressure
Sunday, January 28, 2007
Written for LJ community, prompt was "mend".
Crew is in an Alliance Hospital. Mal/Simon. Non-shippy. Doctor/Patient.
Somewhere along the line, I became obsessed with something that was left out of the BDM: All that time it took to fix Serenity up and heal the crew some. There are some theroies that it could have been months between the final scene on Mr. Universe's world and the time our BDH's fly off. This takes place during that time.

Per Kaylee’s request, Simon limped into Mal’s room and looked at the sleeping man’s chart. “Woa de ma,” he whispered.
“What, doctor? They cut out something I’m gonna wanna use again one day?” Mal asked, causing Simon to jump.
“No, no,” he said, taking Mal’s pulse. “Just your blood pressure is higher then I have ever seen it.” He flipped the page of the chart. ”Do they have you on any medication?”
Mal cringed as he tried to sit up. “Tried to give me something or another for pain. Can’t say I trust them much.”
Simon shook his head. “The point of your stay here is to relax, to mend.”
Mal snorted and Simon looked up and met his gaze. Simon put the chart back and limped off.
Dr. Samuelson entered shortly after. “You get your pressure down over the next eight hours and you can get back to your ship under Dr. Tam’s care.”
Mal nodded in agreement, but before he had the chance to properly snark, Simon returned with River and Kaylee.
“Doc?” Mal asked. “What are you doin’?”
Simon just sat down in a chair across the room. “I am getting you out of here.”
