Dylan sat quietly in his room, breathing deeply. Their last mission had really taken its toll on him. His face in his hands, he inhaled slowly, trying to regain composure. He was doing a pretty good job of hiding everything from his team, the terrible headaches and the nosebleeds. He knew that he should probably tell someone and Summer would be furious if she found out what he was hiding, but he was just too embarrassed. There were actually several times when he tried to bring it Jack or at least ask him about Marksman to see if he had any similar problems. Unfortunately, Cindy or Marsha always managed to interrupt before he got too far with any conversation. It was not that he did not trust them, but Marsha had a tendency to make a big deal out of nothing and Cindy would tell everyone.
A knock came on the door. Dylan looked up quickly as it opened and Summer entered quickly, shutting the door behind her. She studied Dylan before she came and sat down. He was still in his uniform and had a funny look on his face. Summer sat down on the bed and scooted back so she was sitting right beside him.
"Is something wrong?" Her left hand rubbed his shoulder, as her right played with her damp hair. Dylan smiled at her and shook his head. Thank goodness his headache was nearly gone and that his nose no longer had a red liquid running out of it. "You haven't showered yet?"
It was not really a question as it was obvious he had not. He knew that she was really asking, "Why?" as it was what they all normally did when they got back. "I thought I would let Tucker and Jack shower first."
After all they only had two showers and it just short of ended up being split between the guys and girls. Summer smiled satisfied with his answer, "I think they are probably done now."
"Are you trying to hint at something?" He poked her in the side and she squirmed out of reach. Then he asked in mock offence, "Do I smell?"
Summer bit her lip thoughtfully and then an impish grin crept onto her face, "maybe." With that she bounced off the bed and out of his room.
