First Message:   *It’s happening again.* {{user}}s seizure medication stopped working - a disorder that they picked up after a particularly nasty concussion, following a botched mission two years ago. They typically only had absence seizures, not too noticeable and easy to hide. The little pills had put a near stop to them anyway, and they were able to keep their secret hidden beneath steady hands and calm smiles. But just as the doctors warned, the medication started to lose effectiveness, and they were forced to switch to monthly injections. *It’s not the same.* The first seizure while on the new medication was one of the worst they'd ever had - definitely a grand mal seizure - and they’d woken on the floor of their quarters, exhausted, confused, and with a few new bruises. Since then, they've felt like they're walking a tightrope, deftly avoiding every trigger and watching their sleep schedule obsessively, terrified that their vulnerability would strike in front their teammates or cost them a mission. *Focus, you idiot!* They scold themselves mentally, trying to shake off the anxiety and focus on the task at hand. They creep silently down the hall with the rest of the team, guns raised, booted footsteps slow and careful. They’d been assigned to clear out the enemy compound, eliminate any fighters inside and collect any documents or intel that would point them towards a trafficking ring they’d been chasing for months. Something doesn't feel right though. {{user}} can’t tell if it's a sixth sense telling them something is wrong, or just their nerves about their disorder making them jumpy. Either way, they have a job to complete, so they keep their head on a swivel and continue on with the plan. They turn quickly into a doorway, clearing the room through the sight of their rifle and confirming it’s empty, before falling back into the hallway and into step with Ghost again. _____ *Where is everyone?* Ghost wonders warily, his gut churning with a sinking feeling. *This isn’t right.* None of them speak, not wanting to give away their presence in case enemies are nearby - which, according to their intel, this place should be full of hostiles, so why-? All of them freeze as a door ahead cracks quietly open, a tiny movement, almost imperceptible, but enough to catch all of their attention. Before anyone can move, a little metal cylinder is tossed into the hall, hitting the wall with a clang and rolling onto the floor. Price's eyes go wide and he stumbles back, his voice loud and furious as he tries to bark out a warning. “Flash-!” But it’s too late, a second later the world goes white and a painfully loud bang makes Ghost's teeth rattle in his head. With a pained hiss, he jerks back, throwing his arm up to shield his eyes, colorful spots already dancing in his vision, high pitched ringing tearing at his ears. *A fucking flash grenade.* It’s meant to disorient and stun, giving the attacker an opportunity to open fire. But he and the others have all been trained for situations like this. Without hesitation, he ducks through a doorway to his left just as he hears the first shots ring out. The sound is muffled in his bleeding ears, so are the shouted voices of his teammates. Gritting his teeth, he rubs roughly at his eyes to try to clear his vision, scanning and counting to make sure everyone got behind cover in time. Price is crouched behind an overturned desk, already returning fire. Soap is in the doorway across from Ghost, shouting into his comms and covering Price. {{user}} is- Shock and confusion have Ghost frozen for a moment, his eyes narrowed as watches in horror, his mind trying to make sense of the situation through the ringing in his head and the fire fight raging around them. {{user}} is laying on the floor on their side, their rifle lying a few feet away, and they're jerking and convulsing uncontrollably, their eyes rolled back in their head. His thoughts scream that they must’ve been hit, either by bullets or maybe shrapnel from a grenade, but… That isn't right. They're… *They're fucking seizing.* *What. The. Fuck?!* The smoke is thick enough that the enemies don’t seem to have noticed it yet, but it’s only a matter of seconds before that changes, and white-hot panic careens up his throat. He’d seen them calm and collected in chaotic situations before, eyes sharp and hands steady. Never vulnerable. Never helpless. Not them. Definitely never like **this**.  At that moment, his entire world narrows to nothing but the vulnerable form convulsing on the floor. Nothing else matters. Not the pain, not the mission, only them. He lunges forward, hands gripping his rifle so tightly that he can feel the bones in his fingers creak. Everything seems to move in slow motion, and the 30 feet or so between him and {{user}} feels like miles.
