*Sighs*

This was never meant to happen! But here we are with another McDanno story. It was meant to be a one off but it's now turned into a chapter story. This first chapter is small mainly because it's the prologue. The other chapters will be longer and Steve's point of view.

I've luckily never broken any bone in my body so I might have exaggerated the pain but oh well such is life. It's all fiction after all.

This is dedicated to someone who knows exactly who they are and I still standby what I said! You my dear are just evil

Enjoy

Danny thought that breaking his ankle was bad enough but he hadn't quite counted on the whirlwind that was Steve.

Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams

Prologue

Crack

Danny Williams knew he was in trouble the instant he heard the loud crack which came from the direction of his left leg. That sharp sound, followed by the deep throbbing pain that shot up from his foot to his groin, centring mainly in his ankle area merely confirmed it for him. That pain told him that he had managed to do something to himself, something serious. The fact that he couldn't put any weight on his foot hinted that he had somehow broken his ankle or foot.

Either was bad for the situation he found himself in.

He stumbled with a silent gasp, slamming against the wooden crate to the side of him, his vision darkening for a moment threatening to consume him before he forced himself to focus on his breathing, ignoring the strong impulse to lean down and check out the injury. They were still in the middle of an intense gun fight where they were already outnumbered and a man short which meant that he was needed here, supporting his team to make sure none of them ended up shot. He just needed to ignore the pain and do what he did best. He ignored the looks that Chin Ho Kelly and Kono Kalakaua were shooting him, instead gritting his teeth and adjusted himself so that the crate took the majority of his weight, allowing him to shoot at the gang of drug members they had stumbled on during a routine check in.

Danny was pretty sure that the actual fight only took a minute, perhaps less but to him it had seemed like it lasted an eternity, every shot fired as though it was done in slow motion. It was only when he heard Chin shout out that they were clear that he allowed himself to give in and sink down to the floor, the crate behind him. He closed his eyes for a moment before he forced them open, looking down towards his leg. His head was swimming with pain, a pain which grew every time he attempted to move his limb. It was a strange pain, surprisingly familiar to being shot but deeper somehow.

He shook his head, leaning forward and gripped the material of his trousers around the knee, pulling it up to expose his foot and ankle. He stared at it blankly, his eyes widening slightly when he realised that his ankle had already swollen to double the size it was meant to be. He needed to get his shoe off but the effort at that moment in time seemed too much bother. He would just leave it there for the time being. There was more important things to deal with like getting the perps booked and the scene secured for CSU.

"Brah that doesn't look good."

Danny looked up as Kono knelt next to him, gingerly touching the top of his foot with her fingertips. She looked at him with a look of concern before she leaned forward slightly, untying the laces and gently slipped the shoe off for him. Danny hissed at the movement, biting down hard on his lower lip to stop the string of curses which wanted to escape. He winced when he tasted copper in his mouth telling him that he had bitten through his lip.

"Yeah I sort of thought the same thing." He said leaning heavily back, his eyes fixed on her, using her to focus himself.

"I'm no expert Danny but this" she waved her hand towards his foot. "Looks broken to me, probably your ankle as well from the way they are both swollen. We need to get you to the ER you get this check out to make sure that it was just a simple break and nothing more."

Danny considered arguing the point for a moment but he soon dismissed the idea. Kono's concerned look had morphed into her 'You'll do as I say or so help me god I'll kick your ass' look and Danny was too busy trying not to pass out to be able to deal with Kono when she decided she was on the rampage.

"Good, at least you're an easier patient to deal with then Steve." Kono said, dropping her hand on his shoulder and squeezing it, the action jarring Danny making him suck in his breathe. "Sorry Danny" She said guiltily

"Forget it Kono" He told her forcing himself to smile at her as he patted her on the arm. He glanced past her to look towards Chin as he approached them, his dark eyes lowering to Danny's ankle before he came up on the other side.

"Not looking your best Danny" Chin remarked. "Let's get you out of here Brah."

"Yeah let's" Danny replied, allowing them to hail him to his feet and towards Kono's bright red car. His own Camaro was with Steve who was currently with the Governor going over something which couldn't wait. Danny was glad Steve wasn't there, if he was there then he would just stare at Danny with that aneurysm face and that was the last thing Danny wanted at that second. All he wanted was to get to the ER and get some painkillers into his system.

He watched as Kono pulled open the passenger door, moving round the front of the car as Chin helped him into the seat.

"Let me know what happens Kono, I'll stay here and wrap everything up" He said to Kono who nodded at him, turning the key in the ignition.

"I got this Chin" She assured her cousin.

Chin looked at Danny, smiling at him.

"You'll be okay Brah, the Doctors will fix you up no problems" He told him, slamming the door after him.

Danny looked out of the window as they drove away before he leaned back. He meant to tell Chin not to tell Steve about what happened but he was sure that it would be okay. There would be no way that Chin would be crazy enough to tell Steve what happened.

No one would tell Steve.

Danny would be safe, at least for the time being.

He nodded once to himself, allowing his eyes to close.

Everything would be okay.
