Thephoenixdescendant - Unite And Strike!

BF5 + Illness Headcanons

When someone on the team is sick...

Vert puts them on bed rest, that's an order. Absolutely no missions or even looking at data logs until they feel 100% better

Agura makes sure they have everything they need, blankets food heating pad etc., and sets an alarm to check in on them every hour. she also works with Sage to administer their medication schedules (looking at you, Spinner, who once tried to drink an entire bottle of cough syrup after he sneezed one time)

Zoom hangs out with them so they're not lonely, has 100% faith in his immune system, doesn't believe he can get infected (spoiler alert: he can). Vert shuts this down right away because "we're trying to save the world here Zoom and I can't have two people on the bench" you love your cute lil sports metaphors Vert

Stanford will make them a playlist of their favorite tunes to cheer them up

Sherman will make his world-famous chicken noodle soup; he only makes it when his teammates are sick and everyone who's healthy fights for the leftovers

Spinner tries not to be too freaked out or let his germaphobia get the best of him. He offers to play video games with them as long as they're separated by a plastic sheet in the medbay, or he'll try out some new jokes, or at the very least hack into whatever he needs to so that they can watch their favorite movies for free

Tezz hasn't gotten sick in nine years except for the times he had to eat something weird to survive on the Sentient moon, so at first he's a little wary of his sick teammate... but then he eventually decides he needs to build his immune system back up so he'll just stand over them until he gets coughed on. Vert shuts this behavior down until AJ joins the team and it's OK for them to have two people who can't fight in Battle Zones

AJ is a lot like Zoom, he has no concept of germ theory or immunity and so he'll happily watch movies or just chill with the sick person. Again, Vert shuts this down; he can only lose so many people at a time

Sage doesn't understand a lot about human illness but she's excited to learn! Sherman is the first one to get sick canonically and at first she's way too eager and asks him a million questions that he's too tired to answer. once she starts to understand illness more she pulls back, but she does as much of her work as she can in the medbay to keep her poor sick humans company

When they're sick...

Vert: Vert hates being sick and he doesn't want the team to worry about him but Agura can smell it a mile away. she takes over and makes him rest and takes care of him and hey, maybe this actually isn't so bad

Agura: Agura is the worst about being sick. Think Rosa Diaz of Brooklyn 99. She completely denies it, doesn't want to look weak, doesn't need anyone's help. Vert makes her count Battle Keys just so she'll finally sit down and finds her curled up on the floor in the vault taking a nap. then he carries her to bed and gives her little forehead kisses

Zoom: second-worst only to Agura. Vert also has to give him some made-up BS job so that he can get some rest. they consider handcuffing him to the medbay so that he'll stay there but realize that might be traumatic after the incidents of "Man Down" so they just ask him really nicely to please stay put and get better, ok? we'll get you your favorite milkshake and AJ will come hang out with you if you do!

Stanford: the neediest person alive when he's sick. Stanford gets bored and lonely, fast. He's always asking for a cough drop or another glass of water. finally Agura, ever a bestie, just facetimes him all day long and puts her phone in an armband she uses for running so he can feel like he's hanging out with everybody in the Hub

Sherman: Sherman is the Hub's best patient. he just calmly vibes in the medbay until he feels better (meanwhile Spinner is freaking out because his brother is going to DIE). everyone tries to make him chicken noodle soup that's as good as his secret recipe and everyone fails but he's touched by the gesture

Spinner: as a germaphobe, Spinner is completely freaked out when he's sick. He makes Sage test him for every illness known to humankind, including things like the black plague or malaria that would be impossible for him to get in handler corners. he forces his teammates to dress in full hazmat suits whenever they bring him something and panics the whole time, which makes his illness worse. Vert, Agura and Sage secretly agree to add Xanax to his medication and that actually works wonders

Tezz: Tezz is too proud to admit it but after nine years of being on his own when he got sick, he secretly loves having people take care of him. He mostly stays quiet in the medbay and surprises his teammates by thanking them for taking care of him

AJ: AJ hates being sick and is way too quick to think he's getting better, which often prolongs his illnesses. he'll be in the medbay for a few hours or a single day and then be like "Vert, I'm healed, let's go snowboarding" or something like that. go back to bed AJ, you're sick!!

I'm very sleepy rn, I'm running off of caffeine and about to crash how are you 👀

Sameee, except I don't have coffee but instead having my eyes open very wide. I dont know how I'm awake and not passed out 😵‍💫

I have an unhealthy obsession with Zoom. Here's screenshot of him, that I got from YouTube

He's too cute and adorable for his own good
