Cleaning out the wound is actually worse than the stitching - by the time he's being sewn up and Hannibal comes around with a palm full of small white tablets he hands to Murdock in a paper cup, Face is mostly fine just squeezing hard and gritting his teeth against the tug of the needle and line.

Better than field medicine, at least. He's had to do some patch up jobs that were far less pretty.

"I want a vacation after this, Hannibal. You hear me? Somewhere with bad shirts and bikinis and drinks with umbrellas in them."
