2 weeks later

Nora

"You got it." I walked with Lynn while she had a tight grip on the bars, used to help her get used to the new prosthetic leg Alice made.
She grunted with struggling in her voice and made it to the end of the bars. "Good." I smiled and sat her in the wheelchair.
She sighed and sat back "That was amazing!" I smiled.
"Thanks." She smiled softly back at me. Her happiness dimmed and she held her head down.
"What's up?" I got down and looked up at her.
"Leo hasn't woken up yet. Neither has Lucy." She said quietly. 
I sighed and held her chin up. "They'll be up soon. I guarantee it." I said with a bright smile to cheer her up.
She sighed and nodded "Thanks for everything, Nora."
"Of course."
"Hey, ladies!" I heard Apollo enter the training room.
"Hey." I stood on my feet as he came to us.
"Ready to head back home, Lynn." He looked down at her. She replied with a silent nod.
I felt his hand wrap around the back of my waist and kissed me. "I'll see you back home." He said before rolling Lynn back to her apartment.
"Bye." 

Lynn

I ran my hand down my metal leg when we made turn to the team's apartment hall.
"You sure you're okay by yourself for a few minutes?" Apollo asked at the door as I rolled myself in my apartment. "I can stay till Willow comes over."
"I'll be fine." I smiled. "Thanks anyways."
"Yeah." He sighed. "See you later."
I shut the door and sat myself on my sofa.

Willow arrived at my apartment after work and watched over me for the rest of the day.

Lynn

"Here." She set a bowl of soup on my coffee table.
"Thanks." I said and let it sit so it could cool down.
"Lynn?" She said sitting in the couch against the wall.
"Hm?" I looked up at her.
"I'm really sorry about what I said about your sister. I shouldn't have said anything. I was stupid for even saying anything."
"Thank you, Willow but you don't have to apologize." I said "I understand if your uncomfortable with Lucy since of our family but, I assure you, once you get to know Lucy she's nothing like what you think. She was just scared to run. She doesn't hate galras. But she tries to push away all the bag thing we're trained to think about them. But basically, she's a good person. Just give her a chance."
"Okay." Willow nodded. "Again, I'm so sorry."
I shook my head. "How about we watch a movie till it's time for you to head home?"
"Yeah." She smiled brightly and grabbed the remote.

Steph

I came out of the bathroom after putting on clothes from my fresh shower. I looked for my hoodie but it was no where to be seen.
"Hey, babe?" I said while looking through a drawer. "Have you seen my green hoodie?"
No reply.
I looked for Iris around our apartment and found her asleep on the couch with my green hoodie. The sleeves were too big for her and she could fit her whole body in my hoodie. I'm not even that big nor is she that small. 
I smiled softly and knelt down next to her.  I brushed my fingers through her short curly hair and rubbed the back of my knuckles on her bruised neck from the battle two weeks ago.
She whimpered and squeaked, hiding her face in the excess sleeves of my hoodie.
I climbed onto the couch and hugged her body.


Anthony

"Shouldn't you be resting?" I leaned against the door frame of Athena's study room.
"Mm..." She groaned with her attention still in her books and laptop.
I groaned and sat on her lap to distract her. "I have to study." She said looking over my shoulder.
"For what?"
"The Atlas officials test. You have to study too if you wanna get in."
I lifted her body out from the chair and carried her to our bedroom. "Hey!" She yelled.
I laid her in bed and tucked her in. "Rest." I ordered.
She stuck out her lower lip and pouted. "No."
"Don't make me tickle you." I smiled.
She laid in her side and tucked her in. "Fine."


Lynn

The next day after therapy; Apollo let me see Leo before going home.
He left me alone in the room so I could just...talk to him.
"Hey, Leo." I smiled with tears in my eyes.
I frowned trying to hold back my emotions when I grabbed her wounded hand.  I looked up at him with his eyes shut and an oxygen mask covering his face. "We're okay." I sniffled "I'm okay. I know you will be."
I heard my voice breaking "Please come back to me."
