No one questioned Killua's statement of how they needed to take Gon to the hospital as Killua picked the boy up to bring to the hospital.
Gon if possible looked worse than before staring into nothing with his deep dead eyes that had lost color now and he looked so pale that if they weren't looking closely at his weakly rising and falling chest they would have assumed that he was dead.
Zusha's parents offered them a ride in their car that they had tucked away while Zusha also decided he should bring Lavender to the hospital too to get her checked over.
The group drove like a blur hurrying away to the hospital with Killua holding Gon who was still being unresponsive but just leaning into Killua's side.
Killua held his friend tightly remembering his talk the smaller version of Gon coming up with the theory about the string before it was believed it could be killing his friend who looked so far gone was afraid to reach but that would stop him from trying to hold on to Gon.
The hospital was no better bringing Gon in through the emergency room with Zusha too ur that is when it went downhill quickly.
When Killua got to the emergency room and the nurse came to take them away they panic immediately called for the doctor and a breathing mask because Gon had stopped breathing making Killua's heart stop when he turned to see Gon's eye crack open as he was laying against Killua limp.
A scream tore from his throat screaming Gon's name in terror almost fighting the nurses who struggled to take the boy away from him again. All over again before Leorio, Kurapika and Bisky stepped in to hold the boy so Gon could be wheeled away with Alluka trying to comfort him.
Zusha was no better once Gon has wheeled away the other nurse's eyes turned to Lavender taking the girl from Zusha who looked ready to break as Lavender let them lead her away with Zusha trying to explain to a nurse about her history and memory loss.
Leorio went with the other doctors with the promise of giving them news and promising help.
They all were dragged in explaining before signing papers and now they were waiting in a fully white room with Killua's nail digging into his palm and Zusha being comforted by his parents.
Killua hated this. He hated all of this, all that was happening as he prayed that his friend would be okay as Alluka tried to comfort the distraught Killua.
The room was silent as they waited for hours on end for any news on their loved ones. Luckily they were the only ones there besides one napping man on the side who was probably waiting for someone too.
Zusha was hoping that nothing was wrong with Lavender remembering this morning when he woke up to her laying down paralysis in the bed asking who he was and was he there to hurt her. It broke his heart to see her forget again and get so afraid to run away to hopefully not that horrible man and in her struggle, he got hit by some energy blasting sending him into the wall as a force shield of some type surrounded Lavender.
It took him time to talk her down while she easily submitted but it was just wrong, so wrong and when Killua mentioned a hospital he felt like slapping himself because that is where he should have taken her first after everything.
Killua, on the other hand, was more of a mess replaying the moment when he just realized stopped breathing and cursed himself for not at least letting Leorio check him over sooner and if he did not send Gon here soon he could have died. Those strings were killing him physically, emotionally, and mentally and Killua was useless.
They stayed there in the suffocating wait room with Alluka and Killa leaving for a minute despite him not wanting to but he could not ignore his sister as they went to the vending machine for some soda and snacks to hand to others.
Killua munched on some choco robots with the others eating random they got. A few more hours after their snacks the doors open with a doctor walking through.
Everyone set up eager to hear news from their friends until
"Mr. Housemen"
The sleeping man on the side woke up instantly running to the doctor who whispered to him as tears streamed down the man's eyes while he smile spread on his face and he disappeared down the hall.
The others sagged in disappointment at the cruel twist before hearing
" Gon frecess and Lavender"
Everyone stood up to see a doctor walk in that had a face that looked like it always smiled and gave kids candy behind parents' backs but now pulled in a grim frown looking at the huge group making Killua anxious at what the look could be for.
"Okay, a big group I see" The man muttered a bit scared as he sighed rubbing his face. "You might want to sit for this one."
"No I want to know what happened to Gon" Killua demanded
"And lavender"
This made the doctor sigh again shaking his head.
"Of all my years in this hospital I have seen some grueling things. Gosh I even worked as a doctor during a war where men were brought to me shell shocked or their guts spilling but what happened to those kids is sick and I just what you to be ready so you want to hear the bad news or the bad one"the man darkly joked which did not make the others amuse as they said nothing.
"The bad news" Alluka answered unsure making the doctor shake his head.
"Well the girl, for physical injuries they are bad. Bullet wounds, whips, glass shards, signs of being strangled and frequently oxygen-deprived, there was a major area of head bleeding happening that we were lucky to catch, but there is a lot of bodily trauma, especially the head. Burn marks, cuts, and gosh there is more and they were even properly taken care of and the girl couldn't feel any of it but yet it is amazing she is even standing like she was." The doctor ranted while KIllua took a look back to see guilt in Zusha's face through his red eyes.
"Well she would need intense treatment as there are numerous internal bleeding and trauma but the worse is her head. We see by the scans and your words she has an extreme case of permanent frequent memory loss and with the obvious abuse to her it obviously there is a lot of probably mental and emotional abuse tied in the physical abuse. We might be able to offer treatment but the situation for her memory might cause it to just get worse and boy she must care about you a lot to still remember you" the doctor offered a smile to Zusha who tried to put a brave face on.
"Although I send this before so if you plan on doing a court case then you might have a hard time as her memory loss will be used against you. And now the boy."
Killua tensed as he would finally hear about Gon.
"The boy DOA, but we was able to save him but we were able to hold him down with seven flat lines. The boy is the worse. He has scars all over his body, anything kind of torture you think of a place on his skin, and even signs of corroding acid and ingesting toxics at the same time, and there are too many to list. Words carved into his arms and back is disfigured. His legs in the braces and string were obvious signs of torture, but all we could do was keep him stable. Those strings are concluded as the problem but they are not made of thread and when touched cause pain to the boy and the person who touched them is in intense pain, and distress. The skin even goes around his brain and is close to some of his nerve systems. Areas around where his thoughts are mainly. He would need a separate and more challenging surgery to remove them but for now, he is in a medically induced coma. He does not seem to register pain except when the strings are touched, and there are signs of him being cationic. We estimate he has two weeks or the strings will make his brain dead and kill him. The boy is in ICU 56B and the girl 78A on the left."
The doctor stepped aside as the group ran to their respective rooms while the doctor collapsed into a chair praying to God to watch over those children.

Somewhere in an abandoned house, a man's hand glowed as he smirked drinking some wine.
"DId you think I would let you take my pet so easily? it is time I find him and remind him who he belongs to"
