The curtains were drawn to the sides for an hour by now, the stingy sunlight which Cynthia believed was good source of vitamin D for him entered the room from the small gap, onto the face of the guy who laid there covered in a worn out bedsheet... He wanted to toss around but the plaster over his hand didn't allowed him to...

His groggy eyes fluttered open out of which he could see only out of his right one.. His free right hand rose toward his face running it over his eyes feeling the rough coarse fabric of the bandage cover his entire face... After gaining a little consiouness, he ventured around the room...

"You gave me and Cynthia a great headache.. You better make upto it by taking me out on a fancy date..." His right eye slowly turned to his left looking at her holding a bundle of colourful markers in her hand... "Astrid? Where's Surge and Cynthia..." He looked at her who drew some get well soon drawings with various flower pattern to kill her time waiting for him to wake up which he was now...

"Ouch I am right next to you and you are more worried about a guy who beats you to death... I am hurt Ash..." She took a fake hurt tone looking at him who studied the room around ignoring her drama... He had tubes with pointy needle tip gouged into his arteries pumping IV fluid in and out of his from the pouchs hanging from his left and right side onto his free hand... Wallowing himself into pity and cursing everything around him he looked at her who held his hand with a soft smile..

"All of them are fine... Surge, Cynthia, Charizard.. Maybe even me too if i manage to cover up this knife wound.." She pulled her shirt halfway up to her belly motioning to the knife wound over her stomach as Ash eyes drowned themselves in guilt again... His mind fished out any reason to find a possible explanation of the little girl but couldn't find none..

Who was she and what did she wanted..

Just what was the curse of bond evolution that little girl told him about.. Even thinking about it gave him headache.. Ash didn't exactly liked kids.. If they were like Ava then maybe he could bear with them, if not then he could drop kick them too.. But with that girl, he felt none... A strange feeling was it.. A feeling he was unaware of...

The door slowly clicked opened as the two people gazed at Cynthia whose eyed the duo releasing a breath of relief which was stuck in her throat for past whole day from the moment Ash got in this bed... "Hey..."

"The nurses will be here in a moment to take some tests.. We should leave him for a moment.." She placed the X-rays next to the table with a tired sigh.. She was running errands for a whole day by now and wanted to break down... Ash's X rays, ultrasonography reports, blood reports, medical bills and various other things he was unaware of.. She took care of all of them while Astrid kept a watch on him...
