1: Henley Reeves
"There you are Jack, I've been looking for you." Henley sighed in relief as she found the youngest horseman camped out on the leather couch in their current headquarters that The Eye has supplied them with.
"I'm right here Hen, what's up?" Jack was aimlessly shuffling his prized deck of cards as he looked over at the redhead.
"It is time to get your flu injection remember?" Henley reminded him and watched confused as Jack froze up like a deer in the headlights as the saying goes.
"Injection? Like a needle?" Jack asked warily sitting up, his cards falling to his side.
"That is typically how injections work." Henley said slowly unsure of where Jack was going with this.
"Can't I just skip it?" Jack sounded like he was an inch away from pleading with the women in front of him.
"It's just a needle Jack… Wait a moment… You're scared of needles!" Henley realized.
"Shh!" Jack leapt to his feet and gently placed his palm over her red painted lips looking around to make sure Merritt or Danny weren't listening in. "Keep it down? It's not something I want everyone to know about alright?"
Henley nodded before whacking the offending hand away from her lips.
"I won't say a word to the guys, IF you come with me to get the injection." Henley offered up a deal to the slight of hand magician.
"…Only you right?" Jack asked his voice sounding very small all of a sudden. Henley blinked a bit taken back at how young and scared he sounded.
"Only me, hey I got you Jack." Henley linked arms with the younger man and the duo headed over to the clinic to receive their flu shots.
"No need to be nervous Jack, you got this." Henley rubbed Jack's bouncing knee.
"I fidget when I'm nervous." Jack admitted.
"And your right hand's ring finger twitches when you lie, don't think we all haven't picked up on that." Henley teased him.
"Hey I know all your tells as well so don't feel so high and mighty." Jack teased back but his voice died off at the end when the nurse came out to inform the duo it was their turn.
"We're up, pretend it's a performance?" Henley laced their fingers together encouragingly.
"I'll try, sorry if you have some bruises on your hand later." Jack rubbed his neck as the duo took their seats in the small office.
"A small price to pay." Henley gave him a reassuring smile as the doctor came in.
"How are you two today?" He asked pleasantly.
"Alright I guess." Jack mumbled.
"Ah you do not like needles do you?" The doctor asked kindly.
"Hate them." Jack stated firmly giving Henley a glare.
"I'm sure your girlfriend will be able to help you through, I am however one of the best at giving needles." The doctor said kindly as he turned to prep the needle.
"I'm sure she will, she's a doll." Jack gave Henley a sly smile, she then pinched his arm and he silently mouthed 'ow' over and over again until the doctor turned back and Henley released her hold on his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder giving the doctor an innocent smile.
"She's a real angel." Jack muttered. The doctor sent the 'couple' a grin as he swabbed Jack's skin with rubbing alcohol making the young man hiss under his breath.
"I got you." Henley said soothingly.
"Okay so I want you to count to three aloud for me alright?" The doctor asked.
"Okay…" Jack nodded and locked eyes with Henley squeezing her hand.
"One…Two…Three." Jack and Henley whispered in sync and on three Jack tensed.
"Okay, you are done." The doctor announced.
"You've done it?" Jack asked in surprise.
"Yes sir. You are free to go." The doctor placed the empty needle down.
"I didn't feel a thing…" Jack said in wonder.
"I take that as a compliment." The doctor smiled as the duo stood up and shook his hand.
"Thanks Doc." Jack smiled shyly.
"You have no idea how much this means." Henley gushed playing up the supportive girlfriend role.
"My pleasure and if you ever need another needle, you know where to find me." The doctor smiled and opened the door for the 'couple'.
"See that wasn't too horrible." Henley teased linking arms with Jack as they started to head back to their headquarters.
"Don't even say it." Jack groaned.
"I told you so." Henley sang.
"Ugh, I told you not to say it!" Jack clapped his hands over his ears.
