Ive made this headcanon before somewhere of dennis being a runner - all his brothers were in contact sports, but dennis was considered too small so he did track instead - and he runs a lot still, he finds it meditative.
Anyway, he goes on early morning runs, and gets hit by a car during one of these. He’s brought into the pitt a couple hours before handoff. he’s not horrifically injured (unless 👀👀👀) but he is stuck down there for a while. Trinity’s his emergency contact and arrives grumbling that he made her get up earlier than she needed to.
Anyway, robby sees Trinity first. And he’s like. Huh. Bc usually he’s one of the earliest, its weird. Jacks busy, so is everyone else it seems, so he gets no heads up before he’s checking the board and seeing Dennis’s name on it. He rushes over to the room, expecting the worst (bc its always the worst in his life) to find Dennis lying in bed, a little banged up, one arm in a sling and one leg elevated slightly, complaining to jack about the loss of his favourite shoe (he broke his foot and ankle and it was too swollen and risky to take it off normally)
