Bloodied Up (Contains First Aid/Surgery)

Previous Chapter

Twilight stares at the door. Leon said he was going to the store and would be back in a couple of minutes. It had been an hour and a half. "Oh, where is he?" she asks. Since Spike was off with the CMC trying to help them get their cutie marks in another asinine scheme for them to become normal, she was alone. She actually liked the little fillies, loved them to death in fact, but she was sick of them trying to be what they weren't. What they were was intelligent, fun, and energetic fillies. Instead, they were working themselves day and night to get a status symbol that they only needed because of some jerk-offs in their school who called them names such as Blank Flank or No-Ass. Mostly the former, although she had overheard one teenager calling them the latter. It pissed her off to no e-
The door burst open. Leon rushed in and slammed it shut. He turned around and slid down the door in a very forlorn fashion. His face was bloodied and he was obviously injured. He puts his face in his hands and sobs once before looking up at Twilight. "I was mugged. Some bastards jumped me and tried to take my goddamn wallet. I fought one of them off, but the others..." Leon stops, choking on what he was going to say. He sobs again. "They beat the tar out of me. One pulled a knife, but I got it away and stabbed him in the arm. The others were spending enough time trying to help him that I was able to get the fuck out of there." He gets up, locks the door, and walks up to the bridge. He sits down in front of it on the chair. He coughs. "Do you have any-"
"Yeah, I have a first aid kit! I'll be right back." Twilight runs off after saying the words in a very concerned fashion. Leon smiles painfully and takes off his shirt. He had many bruises and cuts all over his torso, and his face was a mess of cuts, bruises, and a lot of blood. He got up and moved to in front of the bridge. Twilight came back. A first aid kit was being carried by a purple aura beside her. She opens it and teleports it to beside Leon. She lifts a small cotton ball and a bottle of rubbing alcohol to his head and runs it across some of the cuts on his face. He winces in pain, and she removes the cotton ball. She throws it into a trashcan across the room and lifts a needle that's already threaded. She sews two of the cuts closed, one above his eye and another that's across his nose. She puts the needle in the alcohol to sterilize it and sews the other two cuts closed. Leon grits his teeth. "Thanks." he says.
"Thank me when we get the portal open. Preferably with either a hug or sex." Twilight jokes.
Leon laughs once. "I think I'll go with the first option."
"Your loss." Twilight gets a cotton swab and puts it in the rubbing alcohol. She rubs it on the wounds on his torso, one of which was a deep gash. "Did they cut you, Leo?" she asks.
"Yeah. The cunt had some luck with that knife. I got him good, though. They didn't even see my face, thankfully."
"How do you know?"
"They didn't exactly target my face." Leon smiles. Twilight smiles back and sews the gash and other cuts closed. He winces again. Twilight sighs and sets the needle down. She picks up a large roll of gauze and wraps it around his arm. She also covers his torso, at least the parts with cuts and bruises. She then picks up a bandage and puts it on the cut across his nose. "That's about it. I'm glad you didn't break anything."
"So am I. Get the portal up and running soon, okay?"
"Okay."
